Notes

Near sunset, we arrive at the eastern gate of Koh'Shar with Enza, Frei and Saatia. There's only one guard.

Frei is nervous & hangs back, she prefers someone else should talk. She's hoping we'll credit her - she'll give us the money.

Eldrin prefers it's not Saatia, so Fyllion steps up.

Fyllion calls us Frei's humble assistants, learning from her what valour in battle is, and honour and leadership & the guard is a little incredulous.

The guard points us to Akram the king of traders, because he hasn't got the time : the guards' bankroller just died so everything is up in the air. We should just keep a low profile!

At Storm's insistance, Fyllion learns Jahadi was found dead this morning. So any weird figures (like our group) will be suspicious.

Fyllion gives him bardic inspiration.

As we walk by, Frei confirms

- the guard is called Yusuf, a dependable sort

- we're all worried about Simeon being here & fulfilling his contract

- we should go to Akram

- busking in the street is not really a problem, but there are bars and a center of the arts where Fyllion could perform & make money

We reassure Enza she can stay with us & we haven't forgotten her request to help Nawa.

We notice many people are trying to leave the city, but the guards refuse to let them leave.

we pass through an older part of town, with family houses and open spaces, in contrast to the other overbuilt areas.

We notice a commotion around Nasser an arrogant high elf with dark skin and expensive robes, with his own guards carrying gilded weapons and scrolls... he starts yelling at Frei!

Exile is exile, why did you bring this filth back!

we try to convince him, even offering the Saree handkerchief.

Before he can react, another large figure appears on the market square : bushy beard, black hair in a bun

Akram steps between us, the guards warned him of our approach.

Nasser tries to intimidate us & Akram : if the guard comes under Nasser's control, he'll clean house!

Storm snatches the Saree handkerchief back.

Akram leads us to Jahadi's former mansion, now the HQ of the guards w offices and dorms.
