Starting their investigation into the murder of Harris, The Raven Shield question many of the locals. When Arnald resists a request to search his property, Silvayn forces the issue, which leads to the revelation of Arnald being a Dorwin spy.
Ognus is more than happy to pin the murder on Arnald, but the party persists.
After a tense race against the clock and cunning misdirection from Ariel, the party confronts Ariel, who is about to leave the island with Unknown.
Lacking enough direct evidence to truly get her for the murder, Silvayn forcefully retrieves the Skinbound Tome, after which Ariel leaves.
With a murder solved, the party leaves Benson's Rest.
