These bars are later broken down and produced into Elleryn's currency, which alarms the group upon hearing. The group is also told that local miner's who have died on the job, have not received the death benefits, promised to their living families. They continue on form the conversation and Nennoh leaves for the night with Dale.   Rehati, the monk and Aedren the Rogue from Arma Lucis decide to investigate the mayor's estate the next morning. After the climb a tree on his property and look in the window, they notice the Mayor is talking to a large cloaked figure. Upon being noticed, the large figure disappears into a cloud of mist. Rehati and Aedren luckily escape unidentified.   Nennoh awakens in Dale's bed, to find that he is not there. She searches for him for awhile and notices he is nowhere to be found. Nennoh returns to the inn to find Arma Lucis and Buerin enjoying a hearty breakfast. When she notifies him, the group splits into two groups to investigate the mayor's estate.

The introduction group meets Lyla, Viryn's assitant, who has an odd gleaming necklace on her.   They main group begins to meet in Viryn's office as Aedren and Rehati discover Dale unconscious in a closet, in the guest bedroom. As Ein leaves the introduction meeting, Lyla locks him out, while Illianna and Nennoh discover Viryn's true intentions with Dale and proceed to fight him. Rehati and Aedren ascend the tree outside once more and break through the mayor's window to join the battle.   The group apprehends the mayor and as they are trying to question him, he begins to bite out his tongue. Nennoh put's his favorite letter opener through his eye. The group meanwhile discovers that his safe is stashed with truesilver bars that were stolen from the shipments.
