I made my way to the pub, only to find that it had somehow already been purchased by Canach. To "recoup my losses from Martingale," he said!
Canach gave me a round of drinks on the house, which I served to a few freebooters to loosen their lips. And talk they did; I found out the Inquest were holed up in a cavern to the south, behind a waterfall. Apparently there was some kind of conflict brewing between the Inquest leaders, and the cavern was full of golem suits and consoles.
I've already formulated a plan to use the freebooters' intel to my advantage...
