The party leaves the western balcony and door for now, heading back around towards the front. Paula follows closely by her master Marius, who is himself at the back of the fireball lightning bolt formation. Once the party is down and around the front face of Harrowstone, but right where the portion of the balcony's foundation meets the main building, Razvan notices something curious. The ivy and the grass have been cleared along the edge where the foundation meets the ground, and along this edge a series of sinuous runes has been etched and then smeared with blood. The runes go around the entire building’s foundation save for the northeast corner, where part of the building has flooded and the foundation has crumbled away.

Marius and Zauberei both recognize the Varisian runes themselves, along with numerous magical incantations, repeating the name "Lyvar Hawkran" several times.
