- He has knowledge of certain factions and their alignments
- The king made compromises to hold power, not everyone is as happy as they can be
- Slavery is abolished in name, but not in effect. Some factions profits off of this

- The religious leaders, especially the high priest are afraid
- Beware of the Rock in the water
- T tells him we got in with Alvyn's name, though he unfortunately passed because of the cult in Bricot. We intend to finish his mission to give the message to someone high ranking in the castle.
- He'll check our story, but T can call on him for favours, and we'll trade.

- S want's our group name to be 'The Body' (we called ourselves 'The Luck' on the ship)
- S gets stopped at the gate into Oldtown, asked about credentials and tells the guard that he left it at the inn (talking about his armour). The message boy is given S's clover symbol and sent to fetch it. S had to wait in a waiting area. Sends him a threatening message
- Before T leaves to find the others, gets a message from the barkeep
- "Might be difficult to see the king right away. Important envoy is coming to visit. You can certainly try. I will do my best to find another solution, but feel free to try yourself"
- Notice people following me, thieves' cant about where I'm heading etc.
- T keeps nodding politely to them every time she sees them (rolled 28). Eventually a teen boy walks up to me and starts walking beside me (Giving up the pretence). His name is Al

- Everything is really clean
- Everyone is wearing nice clothing, even the servants

- Asks Eri for a codeword or something they would recognize as important, but not as her
- They had a game called "I win"
- Favourite flower: white clover
