	Anyone making a DC 15 Insight check can tell that '''Talwisul''' is either relieved they accepted the message or nervous if they do not, but this reaction is normal. Couriers cannot accept final payment if the recipient does not accept the letter. It’s also hardly surprising that a courier would feel out of place in a seaside tavern, surrounded by lower class citizens, but with a successful 20 perception check, the players can discern he is incredibly nervous for another reason.

	During Scene 2, '''Talwisul''' will gather his horse and ride for the '''Thal''' as quick as possible, and then ride to '''[[The_World_Tree/~~Huion~~\|~~Huion~~]]''' with his next assignment. A DC 10 Perception check after the gold has been accepted will glean the awareness of '''Glorik Mastbreaker''', a pirate dwarf, who has been watching them for quite some time.

	When the players travel in a direction other than to Thal or if the law has been summoned during the previous scene, they are stopped by a group of 20 guards with a carriage. As they surround you, one of the guards reads a decree that you are to be arrested for your crimes against Orland, including counts of arson, burglary, blackmail, and vandalism. If the players explain their purpose for violence in The Salty Dog and pass a DC 8 Persuasion, the guards will forgo the charges of violence, but will insist you to join them, even explaining to the PCs that they have been sent by Orland due to him being in grave danger. If the party is able to talk their way out of the imprisonment, the guards will follow behind the PCs until they know they will go to Valea, allowing them to continue their journey.

	''The smell of smoked fish and garlic fills the air as you sit at the table. As the crisp sea air breezes through the open window, the smell of the water is a refreshing break from the smell of cooking food, which usually is a curse as the sea spray chills you to the bone. As you finish your drink, you can see that many are drinking a house special of red ale, due to the setting sun rays streaking through ~~the tavern~~.
