Necros Stalker (Calagito) happens to be looking for a place to rest after his return from Orr and overhears Reina mention Orr. After being under the wary scrutiny of the two, he warns them of dangers and offers his expertise as a guide in Orr.
Upon Necros leaving the inn, soon after, the inn's door is kicked down by a bounty hunter searching for Reina Takayama, alerting them to the posters pinned up around the city. He knocks out the rest of the patrons with gas grenades including Flora Tenderleaf who came to investigate the commotion knowing it is where Mia and Reina stays. Reina and Vinava hide while the bounty hunter (Captain Tumbles) plants bombs around the inn, only concerned for the bounty. They manage to escape under Reina's stealth and clone magic and run towards the caves nearby.
Stumbling in, they realize it is an ogre's den and manage to hide in the deepest part of the caves climbing up rock walls. Captain Tumbles interrogates a waking Flora Tenderleaf about Reina's whereabouts and tries to recruit her in his bounty hunting. She refuses and manages to escape after an argument. Vinava and Reina, meanwhile, realize they need to leave the city and dodging past the angry ogres, they follow the waterway out. There, they see Flora Tenderleaf who had tracked them from the voices of the ogres and Flora leads the party, telling them the bounty hunter knew the captains at the docks and has gone to talk to Captain Diegovich.
Believing that the plan to sail to Orr with Diegovich may be compromised, she claims to know how to leave the city safely and together they swim across the harbour, climbing to the top of the heights at Diverse Ledges. Long realizing that they were being possibly tailed by other bounty hunters, Flora suddenly pushes Reina off the cliff to her supposed death much to Vinava's shock and grief.

Vinava is left to grieve over Reina's death and his failure of his obligations to fulfill the duties of his dead Canthan comrades. Word is leaked that Reina is dead and leaves many bounty hunters looking for her corpse and still, some others suspicious of the happenings. For the most part, there are less searching for an alive Reina. Flora and Reina begin to devise a plan to gather other trustworthy party members and steal Captain Diegovich's ship to make their escape from the city. (August 25th)
