What o' these other ones, then? the obviously nervous pirate leader asked. What o' Bruenor the dwarf king? Think he'll bring an army against us?

Neither Jule nor Bellany had any way of knowing. Le'lorinel told us much, the sorceress said, but the information is far from complete.

In my encounter with them in Icewind Dale, the dwarf worked with his friends, but with no support from his clan whatsoever, Jule interjected. If Bruenor knows the power of your band, though, he might decide to rouse the fury of Clan Battle-hammer.

And? Sheila asked.

Then we sail, winter storm or no, Bellany was quick to reply. Sheila started to scold her but noted that Jule was nodding her agreement, and in truth, the icy waters of the northern Sword

Coast in winter seemed insignificant against the threat of an army of hostile dwarves.

When Wulfgar was in Luskan, he was known to be working for Arumn Gardpeck at the Cutlass, Jule, who had been in Luskan in those days, offered.

'Twas Arumn's fool friend who selled me the warhammer, Sheila remarked.

But his running companion was an old friend of mine, Jule went on. A shadowy little thief known as Morik the Rogue.

Sheila and Bellany looked to each other and nodded. Sheila had heard of Morik, though not in any detail. Bellany, though, knew the man fairly well, or had known him, at least, back in her days as an apprentice at the Hosttower of the Arcane. She looked to Jule, considered what she personally knew of lusty Morik, and understood what the beautiful, sensuous woman likely meant by the phrase an old friend.

Oh, by the gods, Sheila Kree huffed a few moments later, her head sagging as so many things suddenly became clear to her.

Both of her companions looked at her curiously.

Deudermont's chasing us, Sheila Kree explained. What'd'ye think he's looking for?

Do we know that he's looking for anything at all? Bellany replied, but she slowed down as she finished the sentence, as if starting to catch on.

And now Drizzt and his girlfriend are waiting for us at Deudermont's house, Sheila went on.

So Deudermont is after Aegis-fang, as well, reasoned Jule Pepper. It's all connected. But Wulfgar is notor at least was notwith Drizzt and the others from Icewind Dale, so . . .

Wulfgar might be with Deudermont, Bellany finished.

I'll be paying Josi Puddles back for this, don't ye doubt, Sheila said grimly, settling back in her seat.

We know not where Wulfgar might be, Jule Pepper put in. We do know that Deudermont will not likely be sailing anywhere north of Waterdeep for the next season, so if Wulfgar is with Deudermont. . .

She stopped as Sheila growled and leaped up from her seat, pounding a fist into an open palm. We're not knowing enough to make any choices, she grumbled. We're needing to learn more.

An uncomfortable silence followed, at last broken by Jule Pepper. Morik, the woman said.

Bellany and Sheila looked at her curiously.

Morik the Rogue, as well-connected as any rogue on Luskan's streets, Bellany explained. And with a previous interest in Wulfgar, as you just said.
