Met with Gelch Tilgast (crusty old gray-haired codger) in his own mine. No protection. Also met with Chaum Gansworth (handsome, blonde-haired kid wise well beyond his years) at his restaurant, The Rusty Bucket. Was alone at the head table during non-peak hours. Made an appt. to meet with Luzane Parrin at Lazare’s House this evening.
Learned that none of the mine managers have anything good to say about Balobar, describing the extents of his depravity. Learned that Balobar and Ragnolin have an apparent alliance that scares Chaum.
The party suspects Balobar in the disappearance of the tax revenue. Believes he is somehow involved with an inside informant of the Able Carter Coaching Company to arrange the attacks on the tax caravans.
