'Yes, my name is Rurik. Yes, I'm a locksmith. What is this about? One of my strongboxes -- recovered from a brigand? -- and a letter? I see....
'I had hoped that I saw the last of the Blackwolds. You must understand, I did not willingly help them. My business is keeping things locked away, so I do not often ask questions of my customers. I filled an order for twenty strongboxes and upon completion was visited by the Blackwolds. One -- a tough fellow -- took my master key and threatened my life if I talked. One of the others with him called him Applewood.
'Please, tell the Constable that any aid was unwilling, and I only stayed silent because I feared for my life.'1/1

'While this doesn't help us get this box open and the valuables returned, it does speak well of Rurik. I feel badly that he felt as though we could not protect him... but with what happened to Archet, I understand his hesitation.
'Let me think a moment on the name he gave us. Scouts are coming and going at all times... one may have mentioned seeing this Applewood.'1/1
