A nice little mess that would have been cleared in a face to face discussion in under a minute but will take several days...
Here's what I suggest we could do as to have the less possible changes and to make it sound believable - in my view that is.
So Foley can leave her post basically as it is (was) where Uldor addresses Brodda to take care that the old man is caught. Foley can then decide whether to add a sentence where Brodda hands this mission over to his servant Ruadan standing by as Brodda still is a chieftain and running after gamlings in a crowd hardly is a work for a chieftain.
I can leave my post mainly as it is as Fastarr just notes that a man was sent after Thorn and I edit out the sentence where it is said Khandr knew the man running after Thorn.
This also allows CoD to come in without us setting him a definitive place and action and he can decide himself what Brodda will do - after ordering Ruadan to do his bidding that is.
What say you? It's the simplest way I think.
