The party mingled at dinner and met a number of nobles and other guests. They had a discussion with Cilas Graydon, Margrave of Sturnidae, and learned he was friends with Echtmoor Dravin, the young man they found dead in the weaverworm’s lair. They agreed to help him recover the body. They spoke briefly with Markiza Welgory and her huntsman, Ostovach.
They later followed Madame Ivanja outside and learned she resides in a tower outside the main house and sells information and entertainment. When asked out on the lawn about the Whispering Way, she excused herself and went into her tower. The team then noticed Quiene Steymor in the stable and spoke with her. She indicated she stabled horses for a strange group of visitors who sounds suspiciously like Whispering Way cultists. She indicated they had met in Madame Ivanja’s tower.
The team then questioned Belik who, after a bit of intimidation, admitted he had let some visitors in to see Madame Ivanja some days earlier. The group asked Estovion about the visitors, and he clearly knew nothing about it. They then knocked on Ivanja’s door and was allowed entrance by one of her Qadiran guards. Ivanja seemed much more affable within her tower, and they purchased an hour of time with her “employee,” Niama. Niama was smoking some kind of herb when they met her, and she described the men she had danced for before a strange meeting between the men and a silver-haired woodsman. She mentioned they had said something about the “Stairs of the Moon” and a packlord’s heart as she was going out the door.
The team left Ivanja’s and pondered their next move. Estovion had mentioned doing some writing when they last saw him, and Ivanja had stated he writes a lot of things down. Perhaps they would find a way to investigate his private study?
