The patriarch tells the group that some people from the darkmoon clan have come to the city to try and negotiate a truce. They've also contacted the lord of the city, who's sent an envoy to see if the two families can come to an accord. The patriarch says that's a good sign, but he's not sure how the family could possibly be seeking an accord with the city's lord. He's worried that the lord's house is in collusion with the evil darkmoon family, but the patriarch says there's nothing to worry about. He and yuning are going to bring white fang and a bunch of other experts from the family to try their luck at treasure hunting in the mount-beiming area.
