-[[Kaldir]] attempts another [[Gather Information]] but learns nothing new. He visits the sage, [[Artip Earhart]], to see if he can shed any [[light]] on the strange creature in the window. [[Artip]]'s initial feeling is it could be from an outer plane, possibly Infernal in nature. He will need at least a week to research in more detail, at 2gp per day, to which [[Kaldir]] agrees.

 [[Kaldir]] is able to use a [[Knock]] spell on the other locked door without breaking his [[Invisibility]], but a guard realises what he is up to and takes a position in the doorway to the room, which is revealed to be a study. [[Kaldir]] realises that he won't be able to get into this room and [[search]] it while the guard is in there, so he decides to sneak up on him as quietly as possible and strike him using the new sword he has just acquired. To the surprise of both parties, the new weapon proves to be particularly effective in this situation and deals a large amount of subdual damage, including sneak attack. Although the guard does not drop unconscious immediately, [[Kaldir]] is able to strike again before the guard is aware of what is happening and the follow-up blow is enough to put him on the floor. [[Kaldir]] catches the guard as he slumps to the ground and quietly lowers him so as not to alert the other inhabitants.
-His [[Invisibility]] spell now cancelled, he quickly proceeds into the study and moves to the desk. On the desk itself is a small pot of ink and a pen, with a few sheets of paper alongside. A few of these appear to bear rough notes including some alchemical symbols. There is also a brass mug with jade inlays which [[Kaldir]] stuffs into his backpack. A bookshelf on the wall holds tomes on such matters as history, warfare and alchemy. One of the desk drawers is unlocked and contains a few copper and gold coins, which [[Kaldir]] ignores. The other drawer is locked, and [[Kaldir]] conducts a very brief [[search]] for traps, fearing that he is soon to be detected. Finding nothing, he immediately begins to pick the lock. Although he is successful in doing so, he also sets off a poison needle trap which he failed to detect. The poison begins to take effect immediately, making [[Kaldir]] feel extremely [[light]] headed and in fear of passing out completely. He grabs the stash of bundled letters from the drawer, thrusts them into his backpack and then lowers himself from the window, tumbling to the ground below. Moving as fast as possible to the bushes on the edge of the property, he grabs the purple potion and quaffs it, hoping it may contain something to fight the poison in his system. Unfortunately, this contains arsenic but [[Kaldir]] somehow manages to fight off its initial effects. Now dangerously close to losing consciousness, and realising he needs to get away from [[Fenn]]'s guards before he passes out, he spots a member of the city watch not too far away. He chooses to run towards him, collapsing in his arms.

 [[Kaldir]] regains consciousness a few hours later, finding himself in a cramped jail cell. He is mocked and chastised by the jailer, who tells him how pathetic it is to get into such a disgusting drunken state at that time of the morning. [[Kaldir]] apologises, and gladly pays the 7gp fine to reclaim his belongings and his freedom.

 Searching for traps here, he finds that the chest has some kind of gas releasing mechanism in place.
