You decide to head to the Pormalu Residence, hoping to get on good terms with the Arcanine again. As it's night, you find yourself having to wake him up, and after he opens his eyes, you can tell he's not exactly happy to see you and waking him up in the middle of the night was the icing on the cake.

"Must you?" he asks with a dour look on his face.

But before he continues, you interject with the reasoning behind what happened and that you still need his help. Pormalu sighs, looks away, and tries to inform you about the truth.

"I don't know what Ovben told you, but he's a felon and a murderer." Pormalu tells you sternly. "Definitely not someone to be trusted. I've been trying to get him imprisoned for months, but he is exceptionally good at escaping. And it sure doesn't help that his body is made up of slippery goo. The only thing we had on him was that criminal record, and now even that's gone!"

You explain to Pormalu that it was an honest mistake, and the intentions of the Emissaries were to help anyone in their time of need, especially if they had evidence against the Stalkers. You inform him that he played it as if he was in desperation and needed help. You also explain about the many other requests for help that other citizens around Silvercoal have given to the Emissaries, and that at a time like this, it's not always easy to discern the honest and good intentions from the malicious ones.

"Well, you're not the first one Ovben has tricked," Pormalu sighs. "I highly doubt he has anything on the Stalkers for you like he said he did. Once he probably overheard your mission, he used that to his advantage like he does with everything. Do yourself a favor and stop talking to him. In fact, if you find out where he is, let me know and I'll deal with him personally."

You apologize to Pormalu and explain it was a total misunderstanding and that at first, it seemed like Ovben's reasoning were genuine.

"Well, you should have still come to me first, but what's done is done," Pormalu mutters. "Look, you're right about one thing. We and the rest of this city can't afford to be on bad terms like this. I don't like what happened, but I see what the problem is. It wasn't you or I, but Ovben being an opportunist and a creative lair. Let's forget about him for now and focus on what's important. Since I can see it that you're definitely not going to make a mistake like that again, let's forget what happened and do what we can to save this city while we still have the chance."

"We'll work together on this in the morning," Pormalu tells you, looking tired again, but with a hardened and optimistic side grin. "Trust me, with the days I've been having lately, I need this sleep. Don't forget you need time to clear your head as well, or else these Stalkers will get in there as well. Trust me, don't think I don't know what they're capable of. Well, goodnight now."

You decide to head back, happy that Pormalu is willing to work with the Emissaries on good terms again.
