Anders has obtained a darkspawn staff which appears to be Tainted. Sigrun decides to join the Wardens, and the group celebrates with drinks and songs, and Amell gets Anders a cat. That evening, Lord Bensley arrives at the Keep and begs Amell to save his daughter Eileen, who has been kidnapped by bandits. Anders volunteers to help.
