Mystery Man
Victarian goes to negotiate about Jhakri, who has been thrown to jail for dealing opium. The local constable agrees to let him go if he never return to Baryn again. The ship is soon ready to leave and the party takes the boat. They learn that the mysterious templar is also boarding the same ship. While they travel, Victarian tries to extract some information from the templar, but doesn't really succeed. The templar does seem to be interested in Karla and her baby though. The party tries to arrange a distraction with Jhakri's spirit wolf, which keeps the templar busy fighting it on the deck while Largo takes a closer look of the templar's book but he can't read and only sees strange symbols. Victarian sees the templar using magic and begins to doubt he's tied to Voraci, but he still treads carefully.

Swindling Vinderfel
As the ship finally arrives to Vinderfel, the templar leaves the ship but also whispers something to Karla quickly. Karla informs the party that the templar said "If your child is the one, you should take her to  Raekwon". Victarian and Jhakri go find about Raekwon and the templars, but don't learn much about the latter. They do learn however that Raekwon is one of the largest cities on the northern coastal islands called the "city of dreams", divided into new and old sections and ruins.

Meanwhile Largo and Smee try to pull of another hustle at the local goldsmith by claiming that Largo is a southern noble called "Lord Elias Umber" from "Methodmania", who wants to sell a "rare gem" for 100g(which is really juts an obsidian gem worth 10g), but the local goldsmith calls their bluff. The pair gets arrested and thrown in jail for impersonating noble, which is punishable by death in Vinderfel. Victarian soon find the pair in the local courthouse and tries to convince the people there, that these two are merely carnival performers part of their troupe, and the whole hustle thing is an act. The judge does give in eventually on the condition that the group performs an act on the next day and renounces the two as common lowly street rats.
