Telpenaro

In her discomposure at Lómestel's unwillingness to accept the smallest gesture of hospitality, Lady Manadhlaer asks everyone else present to verify that both the teapot -- charmingly decorated though it is -- and the tea within are perfectly ordinary and not poisoned nor drugged. In the process, some tea is spilled, which, while no loss to a richly provisioned House, is discomfiting to any scholar.

Lady Manadhlaer, faced with Lómestel's persistent obstinacy under questioning, begins to lose her composure and upbraids him for the poor quality of the allies he chose -- pointing out that the mysteriously absent Woman succeeded in slaying two Elves, but fell victim to mistaken identity both times.

Lomestel ponders redemption surrounded by his fellows inside Pillar Hall.

At last, confronted by a room full of Vanimar members and some skillful manipulation of her deepest fears, the murderess confesses that someone is planning to break her out of captivity. But the identity of the conspirator isn't what anyone would have guessed. Maedhrathin is dispatched to find Captain Sáranassë, and Telpenaro to inform Captain Himwen, of what the would-be jailbreaker has in mind.

Lord Tindir appeared in the early part of the evening with a single, simple errand: naming Ealendil the newest Lady Caun of Vanimar. This obviously called for a party -- and with members of the Hammer present, just as obviously, drinking and dice were required. Pictured here: Ealendil, Manadhlaer, Tingruviel, Branalph, Estarfin, Golvagor, and Telpenaro, with Saereg kindly tending bar. 

The trap is baited, and the mere mention of Lady Elvealin seems to make the prisoner much more cooperative -- but does he mean a word he says?

When a grave debate over the fate of some miscreants breaks out, and the looming threat seems inescapable, Telpenaro comes to the rescue -- with venison steaks.

Saereg, Gaerlass, Saranasse, Manadhlaer,

A shocking letter throws the tense meeting into even more confusion.
