Met up with Cedar in a tannery. Exchange of passwords - something about "nauga" hides? Lucan went north some time ago, no word since.Went back to the keep to plan next step. That evening, speaker for Emsariel comes to gates. Told us they - army they - are there for Cedar. Spoke vile words of cowardice and betrayal I will not repeat. We took advantage of keep entrance to Acuren, escaped into caves to head for Gates under Telperest to get away from army. Sent Cedar's Grendel contact to tip off Grendels about the army. Demon guards at Gates.
