[sblock=Patlin: ]After checking the street, and being sure that nobody else is there, you look for a warmer spot. There are not many places to choose, but you finally find a place both sheltered from the wind and hidden, where you can watch the house if you stick your head out. There, you continue watching.[/sblock]
Nordal knows a good deal of trivia about Idrag; he knows the names of a good number of Idrag´s trusted men, including Soluc Emal, the captain´s "yessir" and unofficial second in command. Also knows Idrag visits at least treee nights out of four a particular prostitute in the Passiflora, a half elf named Artea.
Knows also many useful details about the layout and manning of the guard´s quarters/fortress (though nothing as useful as a secret door or other such way to enter)
Also tells you the reason Idrag pursued the thieves "guild". He says Idrag gave them a choice: to work for him, or else. What happened when they chose "else" you already know, but he´d swear that Idrag wanted a thieve´s guild for him, and he´s preparing something big. And soon.
