Episode Details
Lorc Irontusk tells the group that Oil of Taggit creates unconsciousness and not death so the group believes Rodrick Grath was knocked out before he was killed.

They head to Sara Morninghawk with the hopes she has answers about Rodrick's fiance, Brinya Kelvar, and the Hope Knife Rodrick had ordered.

On the way there they see three disgusting looking wolves right in the middle of town which Lorc immediately sees are diseased.

For the first the party fights an enemy together, Barron Ashpeak revealing his gun for the first time during the encounter.

After the wolves are defeated Gormlaith Kall and Lorc are curious about the 'boom stick' but when Barron puts the gun away Gormli goes to inspect the diseased wolves which were in fact poisoned.

Lorc attempts to follow the wolves' tracks back to where they originated from but the best he could tell was someone released the wolves into the town.

With the danger put down the group goes to the Long House where the Grath family lives and tell Kurst his suspicions were correct, his brother didn't commit suicide. Gelabrous Finn asks Kurst a few questions but Kurst hadn't heard the name Malira before but remembers the group for half-orcs from a few weeks prior.

When they ask where Omast Frum is Kurst directs them to the wall where he might be working on cleaning the graffiti, or perhaps sleeping off a night of drinking.

Kurst is briefly confused by the receipt for the Hope Knife and then some of the group recall that locally there's a tradition of exchanging Hope Knives when two people get engaged.

With nothing else to learn from Kurst they head to the south tower to look for Omast who is hanging from the tower, drunk, trying to clean the graffiti. Omast warns Barron that there's a "halfie" in Barron's group and that they're the greatest threat to the town.

Gormli has Howie, her green sting scorpion, crawl onto Omast's face.

Omast, between hysterical laughter and crying, blames himself for Rodrick's death. He bites out that Rodrick was friends with a half-orc, a cripple who lives at the sanctuary "spouting curses and lies of prophetic dreams." Lorc thinks he's talking about Brinya and Barron presses as to why Omast blames himself but doesn't make much sense.

He blurts out the name of the half-orc who lives at the sanctuary, Ketreza and Gelabrous helps Omast get home after the sergeant refuses Lorc's help.
