## Summary

The party heads to a small outpost on the edge of Optimarr and wait there for around a half an hour. Meanwhile Flint patches up Xaillen. Xaillen turns to Caius and begins cursing him and makes him fall back. He's angry because Princess Abigail is likely in danger but Caius puts his worries to rest as Abigail didn't come with him. Olwen Edgeworth sternly talks to him saying that Caius left his post and one of his comrades was dead because of it. Adrian Tanlaial pulls out a lesser healing potion to heal Seven.

Caius confesses that he went out with some of his friends and some mercenaries. He admits that the princess couldn't come because the feast of fortune was coming up. Caius mentioned that he did get permission to leave to find Xaillen. Caius and his party were crossing the canyon when the wraith attacked them. Caius mentioned that his partner, Jenkins, decided to kill himself to avoid being killed by the wraith. Caius tried to stop him but it was in vain. Olwen decides not to place him under arrest but does place him under suspicion for the time being. Caius is worried he might go to prison.

Seven mentions that the potion worked but tastes awful. Adrian says it'll work until they find a cleric. Seven then worries about Sybl. Xaillen and Adrian try to explain that the doll held spirits that kept his fear at bay much like Hoshimi did for Seven. Xaillen then introduces the party to his brother who isn't feeling cheerful. Adrian asks a dwarven guard when they'll be allowed to leave and if the guard can get that information. The guard agrees and leaves. He comes back two minutes later mentioning Inquisitor Thunderbraid is on his way. He arrives not long after Flint mentions how much of a cool name that sounds along with a female dwarf with a piercing gaze whose name is Marsha.

The party forms a line as the inquisitor approaches Flint first and asks if he's a magic user with magical items. Flint notes his gloves but Thunderbraid is understanding and says Flint can leave the line. He approaches Hoshimi and she mentions that she is a magic user with a license that's about to expire. Thunderbraid is understanding and wishes her an early birthday much to Xaillen's surprise. She declares her magical items and Thunderbraid moves on to Adrian. He notes that this license is expired much to Adrian's surprise. Hoshimi mentions that Adrian will renew his license the same time that she does. The female dwarf agrees and they move onto Seven. Seven passes her aggression test without realizing. Thunderbraid moves onto Xaillen who suggests taking the aggression test. Xaillen does declare his magical items though as Adrian wonders why the dwarf didn't look over his magical items. Hoshimi silently mentioned that it was likely because he was famous and didn't want him to say her name for a bit. Thunderbraid decides to humor Xaillen with the aggression test and pulls out a poster for Xaillen to sign for his son. Xaillen agrees only that news of the signing doesn't get out.

As Thunderbraid goes to Olwen, she's unsure of magical items so she has to be patted down by Marsha. She pulls out the silk rope which appears to be magical. She then has the spindle and the knitting needles. Before she presses Olwen further, Thunderbraid stops her by mentioning that people have hobbies. Thunderbraid gives them back to her mentioning that the items need to be registered by the end of the week. Olwen strikes up a conversation mentioning taxes and her old friend Reshky before putting her stuff away.
