As they spoke, Lord John-Paul told the Avatar about his trusted lieutenants: Sir Richter, his second-in-command who was in charge when Lord John-Paul was occupied, and who had recently joined the Fellowship, a group founded by Batlin; and Sir Horffe, the winged gargoyle Captain of the guards who Lord John-Paul felt was the most honorable warrior he had met, but who had taken a dislike to the Fellowship. During the course of his investigation, the Avatar uncovered evidence that seemed to link Sir Horffe to the crime, but after speaking with Lady Jehanne, the Avatar learned that Sir Pendaran, another Fellowship member, was responsible. Grateful, Lord John-Paul assured the Avatar that Sir Pendaran would be properly reprimanded. As the Avatar continued his quest, Lord John-Paul remained in Serpent's Hold, overseeing the keep of Courage.

Sir Richter also confessed his lack of trust in Sir Horffe, the gargoyle Captain of the guards, and even though Lady Tory, the beautiful Hold advisor whose empathic ability allowed her to determine another's intentions and emotions, had vouched for Sir Horffe's honesty, Sir Richter felt the gargoyle captain was lacking in moral discipline by not truly believing in the unity of the Hold. Recently, the statue of Lord British, set in the Hold commons, had been defaced by an unknown vandal, and Lord John-Paul had asked the Avatar to investigate the matter. When he asked about the crime, Sir Richter told the Avatar that the vandal did not seek unity, and gave the Avatar some stone chips he had found at the base of the statue that were stained with blood. During the course of his investigation, the Avatar learned from Lady Leigh that the chips were stained with gargoyle blood, seeming to link Sir Horffe to the crime, but after speaking with Lady Jehanne, the Avatar learned that Sir Pendaran, another Fellowship member, was responsible. As the Avatar continued his quest, Sir Richter remained in Serpent's Hold, maintaining the armoury.

When confronted, Sir Horffe admitted to the Avatar that he had been wounded while trying to protect the statue, but due to the poor visibility he was unable to identify the armed knight who was guilty. Sir Horffe asked the Avatar not to tell Sir Richter, the armourer and second-in-command who was a Fellowship member, as the knight would not believe someone who openly defied the Fellowship, a group founded by Batlin, which Sir Horffe knew little about and liked even less. Continuing his search, the Avatar later learned from Lady Jehanne that Sir Pendaran, another Fellowship member, was responsible. As the Avatar continued his quest, Sir Horffe remained in Serpent's Hold, guarding the residents.

As the Avatar continued his quest, Sir Pendaran remained in Serpent's Hold, continuing his tasks.

Lady Tory suggested the Avatar speak with Lady Jehanne, who told the Avatar that Sir Pendaran was responsible.
