Haroun stops first to deliver all the letters that Marussa and Aralin were couriering on-the-side to Cowcorn - those are heavy to carry around.  (And so their last mission is completed.)

Asking where to turn in the accidentally discovered guildplate of a high-ranked adventurer gets them directed to a desk on floor nine of the building, which will be Bella's first chance to experience half-gravity stairs.  In her current state of dexterity, navigating them is so easy that she doesn't even notice when she gets the Low-G Maneuvering Skill.

And then they're at the desk on floor nine, facing a solemn-looking man in leather armor forged from the skin of black wyrms, looking very mournful and solemn in it.  At least until Bella places an orichalcum guildplate on his desk.

He picks it up.  Stares at it.  Turns it over several times in his hands.  He tries an enchanted device on it and frowns when nothing happens.  He summons a runner and sends off the runner for somebody who has the Skills necessary to determine whether this plate is actually orichalcum.  "Where under the skies did you find this?" he says to Bella.
