The scholar's account fuels suspicion that the players are aligned with the second villain's goals. to the Red Light District Hidden amongst the burgomaster's belongings, the players find a love letter with veiled references to the first villain's influence over the district's establishments. The letter suggests a coded rendezvous point, enticing the players to investigate further and uncover connections to the first villain.

The letter cryptically hints at the second villain's plan to replace those in power, leading the second party to believe the players are assisting him. to the Boat Town Among the burgomaster's documents, the players discover a forged shipping manifest linking a shipment of contraband to a boat in the floating district. Subtle details in the forgery lead the players to suspect that the first villain is involved in smuggling operations within this district. In the burgomaster's notes, the players stumble upon a coded message hinting at an upcoming rendezvous on one of the floating boats. The code leads to an encoded message that alludes to the second villain's hidden ambitions within the boat district. The second adventuring party discovers a piece of torn fabric from the players' attire caught on the edge of a floating boat. The fabric bears a striking resemblance to the cloaks worn by the doppleganger army affiliated with the first villain, suggesting collaboration.
