Upon assessing the perilous situation he was in, Jeremy decisively terminated his transaction with Jack.
He resolved to return to his hotel lodgings to lay low for the time being.
As he arrived back at the hotel, he was taken aback to find the members of the caravan, who were also staying there, gathered together in a seemingly intense discussion.
Bonnie was the first to spot Jeremy.
She quickly waved in his direction, signaling him to come over.
"You're finally back, we've all been waiting for you." she exclaimed, a hint of relief in her voice.
Jeremy couldn't help but feel a twinge of concern at her words.
"What's going on? Why are all of you gathered here?"
Master Bard emerged from the crowd, weaving his way toward Jeremy.
He glanced at Jeremy, then cast a look behind him. "Where's Heber? Why didn't he come back with you?"
"Heber went to see an old friend of his, that gemstone merchant. What exactly is going on?"
