Gohdin has granted the city permission to hold fights in the arena while Surton Spire's lock down continues. The farm boy finds it repulsive, but the King finds it fascinating. A fine opportunity to try out his newest spells.

Azix, spy for Surton Spire, writes a report on his findings. The name of Rothmire's secret druid.

Christoph is studying in Sanctum Mortem when Sashro pays him a visit. The old wizard is suspicious, but perhaps all of this is an opportunity to achieve his own goals.

Sashro, down in The Lock, performs one of his many daily duties. Within the fourth level of Tartarus, he interrogates criminals and enemies of the crown. Within a cage, there is a slime. Bartleboth's body gurgles with the mannerisms of Gem the goblin. Sashro had found the jewel Gem carried. He'd found it, and now he wants to know where the goblin had stolen it from.

Christoph considers what to do with his own lifeless corpse. Perhaps he should raise him as an undead. Perhaps, he could let himself rest. He struggles with his own thoughts on the matter.

Trostin, an investigation mage of Protharian Empire, reviews the corpses of Rothmire. Alone in the tent, he attempts to delve deeper than permitted by law. Disturbing the dead is illegal. With magic, more so. It also comes with a bit of danger.

Christoph is practicing his magic. "Fly" is a valuable skill for those talented in the magical arts. With it, the new king can examine his city more easily. He tests his concentration and control while thoughts of a previous life continue to plague him.

Sir Griffon Nodure is investigating the two dead invaders outside Rothmire. One obviously stabbed by the chief's wife. The other... seemed to have entered the ring with a bear. Two mages discuss how best to investigate the tragedy further, but one continues to push his own agenda. He jokingly recommends using necromancy to speak with the dead; against the nation's laws. Instead, he offers to exhume the bodies of the villagers to investigate.

Nodure allows this - only after hearing that the invader's corpse was touched by natural magic. It would seem Rothmire had a druid among their people.
