A Gnome named Sherai stopped by looking for Tak, spoke with her husband about a symbol on their home, she's currently staying at the temple of Tyr, she has news about her husband and their home
Nephrai has gone with the Claws, they're arranging transport with Blacklist to go to Greyhawk
Owyn and Forvon stopped by a couple days ago for a meal, nothing occured
Tirak the half-orc boy and Rha an Aarakocra girl stopped by with a report

Forvon

Opened her gallery 50 years ago, lots of wealth to fund acquiring art and commissioning new art. Claims she's from a merchant family in Queenstown. New art piece is a tapestry depicting a countess and a minstrel at a sunset picnic, if you brush your hand against the artwork you can hear soft melodic song being played on a lute. Forvon will deny being a dragon, ask what the punchline is, you were setting up a joke right?
