The instructions alert the party to a conflict in House Cannith that places Lady E in danger. They are also given instructions to find another schema, which will be combined with others to form a pattern to create very powerful magic devices.

With supplies from Lady E the party decided to travel by land. After taking the Lightning Rail to the edge of Breland and take a caravan through the Marguul Pass.

The caravan leader likes the look of the party enough to offer gold for their services as guards, a most fortunate decision on his part when a group of goblins and bugbears attack the caravan. He pays the promised fee as soon as the enemies are driven off, and the rest of the trip is comfortable.

Soon after arriving in Rhukaan Draal the party decides to split up, with the two soldiers going east to find information and the rest of the group going west.

As it turns out, west was the best way to go, and the group finds the Bloody Market with little trouble, and from there they manage to find Failin, the man who is supposed to take them into the Mournland to find the schema.

Meanwhile, the fighters try to find directions in a tailorshop, and instead find themselves swindled out of 30 gold, then nearly attacked by the city guard. They were only saved by a timely bribe of 10 gold, and quickly decided to rejoin their friends, who were gathering the supplies needed to make the journey.
