Saladien agrees with Haas and doesn't completely trust the owl guard either. I think it would be good to use one of my animals (it looks like you have already done that).
I assumed you were okay with it, thank you for confirming.
During your day long viewing using the Chain of Eyes, you see many things. I will assume you ask the city leaders if these are normal, and filtering out what turns out to be normal activity, what you are left with is what I will list.
- There are halflings paroling the lake. They stop anyone who approaches the lake and talk with them before the proceed. On multiple occasions, you observe a halfling cast a spell on those that approach.
- There is a group of heavily armed elves that circle the lake around 4 in the afternoon. Five in total, they are not recognized by any of the city leaders.
