Derrock only stares as you take the Maerath from the wagon. You have seen in his camp that supplies must be running low and perhaps you are doing him a favour by liberating the prisoner from his camp. The two guides that led you to the camp both move to Derrock swiftly, pointing at your group as you leave. Derrock waves them off, grabs a wineskin and moves to the bonfire.
You spend most of the night travelling the path back to Bush Namur. A still cold night. You hear the piercing trills of the krillworm above and on occassion spot the two that took you to the bandit camp shadowing you. Realising that they are probably waiting for you to split ranks you stick close to one another and arrive back in Bush Namur in the early hours of the morning.
On the trip you speak of the things you have found out. A dwarf imitating Kaleb Ironbeard sold what can undoubtedly be called silks from Bush Namur. The dwarf appeared to be the exact replica of Kaleb except his voice was different as it seemed to be the only thing that triggered Derrock into noticing the difference. Even the two bandits that had first taken you to camp had mentioned that Kaleb must have a cold, presumably from the change in your voice.
And then there is Maerath. The figure wandering in the wilderness with no memory of himself or his past. Not to mention the strange rider that spoke to Shalandra near the bandits watchtower. Pieces to a puzzle that cannot yet be fully understood.
As you enter Bush Namur, the guard lead Maerath to the house of greeting and lay the artisan tools in front of him. Maerath seemes confused but instinctively picks up a block of wood and chisel. In 10 short minutes a beautiful songbird is carved in flight on the surface of the wood. The guard checks it and you all breathe a sigh of relief as you realise the beauty could not be created by one with a horror mark.
To be sure that he remains safe, they release Maerath into Pean's care for the remainder of the evening, and at the town commons you separate to finally get some rest...
