When that adventurer caught us falling upon the patrol, I had feared that the game was up. But thankfully, the other two were blind fools. All this time watching me, and they didn't see a thing. Hehehe...

We've only skimmed the tome, but it seems you were right. About what happened to Lord Vainchelon.

Was there ever any doubt? Once we return to Gridania and make this knowledge public, none shall harbor so much as a shred of sympathy for Ala Mhigo. That shall pave the way for us to propagate Lord Vainchelon's will...and advance our agenda.

At last we've uncovered Nourval's purpose, and the tome is right before our eyes, no less. Commander Heuloix spoke of a faction that vehemently opposes our aiding Ala Mhigo. I daresay we have found them. But how did Nourval come to lead such a crew? And what is this talk of Vainchelon?

What, the Gridanian general sung about in nigh a hundred songs, who led our forces against Gylbarde in the Autumn War?

Only to die of an illness before the fighting was over. Aye, the very same. Having lost his leadership, we would have lost the war entirely had the other nations not come to our aid.

Don't know about the rest of you, but it seems to me our damning little secret pertains to Vainchelon.

And Nourval seeks to use it to stoke the fires of anti-Ala Mhigan sentiment to some sinister end. This cannot be borne─we cannot let them have the journal! Are you with me?

Always.

We've continued our surveillance of Nourval's activities. It's beyond a shadow of a doubt that he has an ulterior motive. In order to find the tome, it's past time we took our search to the field, but always he finds an excuse to stall.

Whenever I suggest investigating this ruin or that, he will inevitably claim we haven't enough information. 'Tis plain he doesn't want us out there.

Nay, bastard wants all that outside goodness for himself. But try as we might, we haven't been able to find out where he sneaks off to. Warier than a bird, that one. Meanwhile, the masked bandits continue ambushing Alliance patrols, and they always know exactly where and when to strike. It's as though they have insider knowledge of patrol routes. The only explanation being there's a mole in the garrison leaking them intelligence.

And who could that mole be save for Nourval? Every move of his marks him as the prime suspect. We know little and less of Nourval's plot, but it can only lead to ill. We must needs bring it to light, and swiftly, before he can do any more harm. To that end, Guydelot and I have been keeping Nourval close, allowing him no chance to act. By now he will be positively itching to rendezvous with his accomplices.

And this is where you come in, Jefara. We need you to feed Nourval some false information─that I am in an Alliance meeting, and Guydelot...a drunken stupor. Our man will not pass up the chance to sneak out, and he is like to do so with greater haste than usual. This will afford us an opening to shadow him to his destination.

Drunken stupor? Really?

Would you rather I say youre between some maidens legs?

Excuse me you-!

Jefara please... Not so flattering, I know, but you cannot deny that it's believable. Now then, Jefara, pray go to Nourval and plant our misinformation. Once you have done so, come and meet us outside the castrum.

With our own trap set and Nourval falling for it so easily, this time we were ready to tail him out. We stalked him down to the ruins at Ger Kehim, There we found him meeting with the bandits. and low and behold they had found the tome we were looking for.
