Episode 9

So apparently Iarno's house has been abandoned for a while, and dilapidated to the point of crumbling. Okhmhaka searches the house and locate a scorpion nest under a couch cushion, and seem interested in the bedroom. They eventually find a lock-box storing all the correspondence between Iarno and Sildar, even after Iarno stopped responding. There also seems to be some evidence he may have started working for a local nuisance called the Redbrand Ruffians. Considering Sildar and Iarno were sent to Phandalin to protect it from this group, this clearly upsets Sildar. He promises a reward to the group if they take care of the Redbrands since the town is still low on able-bodied guards.
