When they return to Lisport House, Arn Gallade will be waiting for Meril.
A tall, gaunt man greets you as you step through the heavy doors of Lisport House. Meril introduces him as Arn, his servant in Lisport. The old servant’s craggy features reflect both age and activity.
“I left as soon as I received your message, sir,” he says. “Lord Lisport arrived at Lisport Manor fifteen days ago. I can’t say when he left, for I didn’t see him. I went inside to look after receiving your message, and found only young lady Melody’s old diary.”
Arn entered the house after receiving the message (mid-afternoon) and could not find Eldred anywhere in the house. He found Melody’s diary in the drawing room, which he returns to Meril. This confirms Meril’s suspicion that Eldred went treasure-hunting and brought the diary for clues to the treasure’s location.
