 At the Tongue Wrecker, Halgun had a falling out with Beth over the murder and perceived betrayal.  This hurt Beth quite a bit, and she had to change her identity and appear to leave.  Eingrim, through his crow, helped the change without the party being quite the wiser.  This saddened Gruck considerably, although Mara and Wellby appeared to have no real stake in the exchange.
-The next day, Mara and Wellby were sent to acquire a large rug for Eingrim's research.  There, they ran into Gruck and 'Luise', who were on a different run.  The visiting coroner had spoken with Beth's spirit, and positively identified Beth as the murderer.  Beth, behind the Luise facade, was having a crisis of conscience regarding the murder.
+The next day, Mara and Wellby were sent to acquire a large rug that Eingrim had ordered, and had finally arrived.  They ran into Gruck and 'Luise', who were on a different run.  The visiting coroner had spoken with Beth's spirit, and positively identified Beth as the murderer.  Beth, behind the Luise facade, was having a crisis of conscience regarding the murder.
-Back at the Tongue Wrecker, they were able to hang the large rug on a wall of the tavern and examine it, together.  There was script written in the words of the giants, similar enough to the ogran dialect that Mara and Wellby could make out some of it -- especially in relation to runestones.
+They were able to spot potential ambushes and a string of assassins on the rooftops -- just like the previous one.  Avoiding the ambush, they were then better able to witness potential problems.  One of those problems was a woman with dark hair a dark eyes and skin the color of mocha, who was asking too many questions.  Her accent was odd, but the team was unable to place it.  Rather than ponder over it too much, they avoided trouble.
-Eingrim wanted to visit the ruins depicted in the rug, ruins found somewhere to the west of Rilan.  The distraught Luise was welcome to join them.  Eingrim would pay for travel, food, and lodging, and get first pick of any magical items found, and ten percent of any wealth they found, and the party could have the rest.  He was not in it for the money, but for the experience and the knowledge.

+Eingrim, eager to get away from a mage killer running loose and the demonic terrors of Kashin and the Guard eager to capture Beth, figured that a visit to the ruins of Drbth might be in order.  The distraught Luise was welcome to join them.  Eingrim would pay for travel, food, and lodging, and get first pick of any magical items found, and ten percent of any wealth they found, and the party could have the rest.  He was not in it for the money, but for the experience and the knowledge.
 Mara indicated that any runestones found might have to go with them, and after hesitating, told them why.  Mara and Wellby had been sent by an ogremai that suspected the runestones were responsible for the powerful magics used during the [[gaeleth:history:War of the Four Winds]] to decimate the orcs.  Mara and Wellby's supporter wanted to keep the runestones out of the hands of fools, fearing that any mere man cold become a martyr with such power.  Wizards, taking the time to learn the craft, might be more immune to such foolishness -- but Mara warned she might have to take control of any runestones found, and deliver them to her supporter.

 The party chartered a boat to take them to Rilan, and it would leave on the next day.  In the meantime, a ferrier was rented for Mara, and some shopping took place.
+At the Lyle House, Norion was unavailable, but [[gaeleth:people:Savana Beth Lomaksan]] was.  She indicated that with the demonic trouble in the city, it might take some time for things to stabilize enough for Norion to interene on Beth's behalf -- but it could be done.  Norion's previous meeting with the Duke ensured that party that the city's lead nobleman, at least, could be trusted.
 That night, they were beset by Zhaneesa and her fraternal twin sister.  Zhaneesa was a blood mage -- and her sister, a necromancer.  Fighting in the hallway of the upstairs inn of the Tongue Wrecker was difficult, as they could only take on the undead single file -- until Gruck and Mara realized that the walls were only wood.  Axes and raw strength made side passages the team could use even around the once-possessed Gruck.  When Gruck shook off the possession, Eingrim took control of one of the undead and souped it up with defensive spells, using it to hold the passage against zombies while they dealt with shadows that could fight straight through them.
