You arrive at Shawl's Cafe, which looks like it used to be a happy and relaxing place to go, only now it appears to be very empty and forlorn. The outside of the building still seems to be in good shape, but it doesn't look like Shawl has been running the business due to his sudden lack of staff.
You search the inside, and in the cafe's interior, you find that things seem to be in a state of limbo. It seems like all it would take to get Shawl's cafe up and running again is just a few employees, but he just hasn't been able to bring himself to do it given the current state of things.
After heading upstairs into the apartment where Shawl lives, you find it to be a cozy and welcoming place. While it isn't very large, the atmosphere, furniture, decor, and layout of the rooms is bright and relaxing. From some of the books you find on his bookshelf, you see that Shawl has quite the collection of joke books, game books, and similar light hearted reads to help him come up with ways to have a good time. He also has playing cards and other games, which looks like they used quite often during parties and better times.
In another room, you find Shawl is into wood carving, and is quite good at it. A lot of the models, figurines, and other decorative objects he's created would definitely require a lot of skill, experience, and steady hands to be able to pull off. Meanwhile, he has quite a large workbench and a lot of carving tools to use.
You head outside and search around the exterior of the building. At first, nothing seems to raise any alarms, but then you see a familiar object, plugged into the ground, made to look like it's a part of the house when it isn't actually attached. You examine it closely, pull it out of the ground, and you see it looks very identical to the other two key daggers that were found earlier. You take it with you.
Item: [Sacrificial Dagger Key] has been added to the Team Inventory.
You don't find anything else that seems to cause suspicion, so you head out.
