Cherish and Marjorie speak to Moactem, a Nauctl dragonborn sent by the Nauctl Trading Company. The bandits have been disrupting the company's shipments recently.

The Mad Lads use the excuse of Eri's illness to go into town, and Robert sends Fulton with a letter for the barkeep at The Fallen Log. Clyfric suspects the letter is bound for Goldbiter.

The Mad Lads head for The Fallen Log, and the ladies also enter the bar, each group making sure not to acknowledge the other.

Once inside, Fulton attempts to stealthily send a message to Marjorie using mage hand, but many see the letter fly through the air. He manages to play it off to the room as charming.

Fulton and Clyfric attempt to get more information from the bartender about Goldbiter, but it becomes clear that he is becoming suspicion. So both groups leave piecemeal and regroup at The Grinning Devil to strategize with Henry and share what they've learned about the bandits.

In the mean time, Elaine and Lumpin worked on a plot to investigate the White Order's room in the inn.

Fulton is uncomfortable with the idea of slaughtering the bandits and is worried that the Nauctls may be planning to do just that; Marjorie reminds him that they have indeed committed crimes, and rather than worrying what might happen, they might ask Moactem directly about it.

Clyfric shares a sketch of a symbol that was on the letter and finds out it's a thieves' cant pictogram depicting the Neilson and Co. Mill.
