Talking with Trader Brasshorn, she confirmed that both Karne & Ellaria were known Zhentarim agents, though Ellaria was a more mid rank operative, Karne was linked to the higher circles of the mercenary group.
The Party reviewed their remaining leads - an old reference to the Red Fang base near the Cloak Wood below Baldur's Gate; a map to the same base, they took from the body of Argesh, leader of the Hands of Glory; the journal they found in the Bloodmire basement, an apparently coded tome with references to the Zhentarim activity on the Sword Coast - a short study by Kaddim-Sul led him to believe he could de-code the tome given time.
A letter inside the journal was signed by 'Lady F', Trader Brasshorn wondered if this may be Lady Firewind; an independent noble with a manor and estate on the northern edge of the Cloak Wood, the Harpers had suspicions of past activities involving the family. She also mentioned their agent in Baldur's Gate was named Jherek and the easiest way to contact him would be to leave a message in the Elfsong Tavern, should they need his help.
Deciding to travel south to the Cloak Wood firstly and sort out the Red Fang Goblins, the journal could be de-coded on the trip for any further clues to the Zhentarim plot. The Party elected to take the Trade Road south to Baldur's Gate and then skirt the city to the Cloak Wood.
