[[Olesm Swifttail|Olesm]], informed of the [[Walled Cities]] request for confirmation and general hesitation, rushes through to [[Pallass]] to convince them to aid and faces off against the [[Errif Jealwind|gnoll senator]]. He runs roughshod over the senator, insisting on outranking him as the [Strategist], even though he‘s in another city. In an impromptu speech Olesm professes his disgust at the cowardice of Pallass and the other cities in waffling with their aid. Only then does he realise his words were being broadcast worldwide and he flees back to Liscor. Following an inspiration, he pours over the reports from a [[First Antinium War|previous siege of another city]], where the populace retreated into a dungeon and held there, for months. | [[Olesm Swifttail|Olesm]], informed of the [[Walled Cities]] request for confirmation and general hesitation, rushes through to [[Pallass]] to convince them to aid and faces off against the [[Errif Jealwind|gnoll senator]].

Glancing at the dot on the map he made indicating the inn, he ponders perhaps more than a chance. | ||
After most of the hubbub died down, Watchmen and [[Liscorian Army|Soldiers]] are guarding Erin’s magical door, despite the presence of gold-ranked [[adventurers]] within in the inn. They all fall asleep curtesy of [[Typhenous]]’ magic. He was tasked with securing the door for someone else and gets interrupted and disarmed by [[Eltistiman Verdue|Eltistiman]], the supposed illusion specialist, who has himself orders to ensure the door stays at the inn. The two discuss and Typhenous’ motive is revealed, as is his sponsor, the "[[Tyrion Veltras|Smiling Man]]". Eltistiman implies his is [[Bethal Walchaís|Lady Bethal]]. Unexpected by Eltistiman the Brothers of Serendipitous Meetings and Sisters of Chell come to Typhenous’ aid and knock the illusionist out.

The door and its mana stones are safe again. In the inn Typhenous takes care of Eltistiman and thinks of his sponsors, not just Veltras, but a Pallassian senator and an unknown party as well, whose orders overlapped for Typhenous. He still destroys the mana stone for the connection to Pallass, nicked in the confusion before, to fulfil the orders. | After most of the hubbub died down, Watchmen and [[Liscorian Army|Soldiers]] are guarding Erin’s magical door, despite the presence of gold-ranked [[adventurers]] within in the inn.
