Summary
When the morning came, Eris found a note from the Clasp underneath her door. There would be a meeting at the Goblin and Duck at sundown that day to discuss the next steps for their passage. Their deadline was likely the Dirge's Parade, which would take place in a week and a half's time.

In the meantime, the party decided to look around the town and take advantage of the wares available before things got too tense. One such shop that they went to was Swords, Swords, Swords, which was run by a smith named Sorcha. Overall, they were very successful in both finding things that they needed to stock up on and not being caught by the guards who were almost certainly familiar with their faces.

That evening, the party met with Adrena, a dwarven woman who would be their contact. She told them that they needed to do something for the Clasp if they expected the Clasp to do something for them. Specifically, they were supposed to break into Foramere Castle and steal a keg of helldust, a magical substance similar to black powder. As part of that, they were supposed to deal with Dommal Fisk, another member of the Clasp.

Though the meeting with Adrena went reasonably well, there was one small hiccup: the previous day, Id had been pickpocketed and lost the purse that had all of his gold. He attempted to slip away to fix the situation himself, but was caught by Rhone before he could. To his (and everyone else's) surprise, she offered to help him instead of just yelling at him. The two of them managed to pull off a seamless operation, retrieving the purse and actually ending up with more gold than Id started with.

The most important thing that was learned that day, however, was that Turzon Grimheart was coming to town. He was staying in a different inn than the party under the name "Teruna Way."

The reason that this was important is that their second meeting with Adrena went more poorly than the first. Kelu charmed her, which she did not take kindly to once the effect wore off. Because of that, that night they were attacked by Turzon Grimheart and his retinue. The battle was fierce and very nearly led to the deaths of the entire party. However, only one person fell: Blackheart.

The remaining party members managed to flee to a seedy tavern and hunker down for the night.
