Daos, Caelynn, and Sareal take their rooms, and Meine, Tympany, and Valerie soon follow. The party, tired from their day, soon fall asleep.
A while later, Daos stirs awake. He can't tell how early or late it is, but more importantly, a strange figure is standing over him with a knife in hand. It's raised high, ready to strike.

Daos quickly rolls out of bed (in the opposite direction of whichever side the figure is standing, so the bed is between them) and casts Light on the bed itself on his way out, so it illuminates the entire room. "Who goes?" he demands.

The intruder yelps and jumps back as the light fills the room. Though he covers his eyes, Daos can tell that it's Sareal.

"May I ask what you are doing in my room, uninvited, with a blade out?" Daos asks in a deadpan and largely rhetorical delivery.

"I...thought an intruder was going to attack you," Sareal says, hiding the dagger behind his back. "I tell you, it's true!"

"You're the only one I see in here," Daos says. "Put the knife down."

Caelynn keeps sleeping away quite comfortably.

Sareal nervously drops the knife of the ground, but says nothing.

"Good," Daos says, relaxing slightly but still keeping alert. "Now you want to tell me what's really going on here?"

After a tense silence, Sareal cries out, "I'm begging your forgiveness, please! I...I needed the money from the bounty!"

Daos frowns. "What bounty? From who?" he demands.

"Count Moonbeam has a bounty on your head," Sareal explains, nervously stuttering through each word. "500 gold pieces--dead."

"Why?" Daos asks. "I've never met Count Moonbeam, and certainly haven't done anything to wrong him. Why would he want me dead?"

“I swear, I don’t know!” Sareal weeps. “Please, I beg you: let me go!”

"You came in here to kill me," Daos points out. "What assurance do I have you won't try to do so again if I let you go? Or someone else in my party?" He tries to judge whether this is really just a dumb, scared kid or if he's a serious threat.
