S1 E8: The Citadel

Jokul and Rialla continue to follow the rooftops until they reach The Citadel, the location mentioned in the thieves’ cant they had spotted earlier. Upon entry they are greeted by a kindly old priest, and they implemented the facade of romantically involved tourists who had come to see the beautiful building and hear its services. 

When the old priest leaves, Rialla notices a young woman - a thief - disguised as a priestess. Rialla manages to gather her courage and is able to deceive the priestess into divulging information regarding the bird, telling her that they were supposed to make the exchange but got caught instead. Meanwhile, Jokul examines the large organ he noticed propped away from the wall. He discovers that one of the keys is missing and the organ is farther from the wall because there is a door hidden behind it. The pair then learn that they must meet the thieves at midnight outside of an inn called The Grumpy Goat.

Eight, on the other hand, is accosted by a man who is set on scaring Eight away from the alley. In an attempt to persuade him to share secrets, the warforged learns that this man is actually in disguise and is then left to deal with the violent consequences of the discovery. The cowardly rogue flees to The Citadel, at which point he is apprehended by Eight. 

When the group reconvenes, they decide it is best to leave the man trapped out in the open than to cause a bigger scene, and head for The Grumpy Goat. Jokul and Rialla leave first and, after a time, Eight follows them in a questionable disguise.
