==Episode Summary==
* The episode opens with Cam hearing footsteps coming down the passage where he's sleeping. He retreats into the house and goes up the chimney. A hooded, masked figure comes in, dousing a torch. They're wearing armor and tattered noble clothing. They sit on the bed and wait. After making some unintelligible hand signals, they go and knock on Dagna's door. They hold out a signet ring of House Macwell, with a slash down the center of the symbol. Dagna lets them in, and asks them to write instead of signing. They write that they're looking for Leopold, who is in danger. They have transportation, and they must leave now. When Dagna asks who Leopold is, they cross out Leopold and write Cam. Dagna continues to question but gets no information. Cam comes down the hall, hearing Dagna. The person says House Macwell and all of Jildos is after Cam. They draw Dagna a map that will lead Cam to a boat named the Wavebreaker, with captain Mythail. Dagna asks for their name, but they refuse and then disappear.
* Dagna finds Cam and shows him everything. The ring belonged to his brother, Gregor, and would have been kept by the people who killed him. While they're talking about Cam's family, they hear a book fall off the shelf in Dagna's room. Switching to talking via Message, they decide to take the boat. Dagna takes the book that fell (Archimedes' Guide to Monsters and Bestiary of Naluri). She also finds someone in the armoire, but they motion for her to go away so she goes to find Kallas.
* Cam goes to get Boone, but notices the figure who talked to Dagna behind him. He chases them, and Boone hears and follows. Cam uses Compelled Duel and tells the figure to face him. The figure resists the spell, and Boone's Hold Person spell, but Cam manages to catch them on the staircase. He rips off the mask to reveal his mother, who is crying. She says his brother is still alive, she has been following Cam since he left, and that his father doesn't know. She hugs him, but Cam doesn't hug her back. He says he'll see her on the boat, but she says his father is going to war tomorrow, and that she'll be with him. Of note, Cam has never seen any indication that his mother is a fighter, but based on her current outfit she appears skilled in combat.
* The party has congregated on the stairs, and hear horns indicating war. They make their way to the boat, get forged documents, and meet the captain. She asks them where they wish to go, and they don't know, since they don't know where Gregor is. They decide instead to go to the Scarlet Coast Forest for help for Cyrus, as was recommended in the previous episode.
