Walkthrough

 * Some time after you completed A Call to Court, you will be notified of another messenger in your stronghold. Talk to him in the Great Hall. The messenger seems nervous (Perception check), as he tells you to meet Chancellor Warrin again, this time in a less official venue.
 * Go to The Charred Barrel in Brackenbury and talk to Chancellor Warrin, who is standing by the stage. If asked why he summoned you he will act surprised, saying that he received a missive from you asking for a meeting at the Charred Barrel. Suddenly, the entire tavern goes quiet and the patrons disappear through the front door. Moments later, Captain Emery enters, flanked by several goons. Turns out the meeting is an ambush set by Lord Gathbin. The Chancellor wisely takes cover behind a table.
 * You can either fight them, or talk your way out of it. If you have Cruel or Benevolent of 3 or higher, you can sway her to your cause. She will then switch sides and betray Gathbin in The Battle of Yenwood Field. A  bribe can also get her to walk away.
 * It is worth noting that if you cannot sway Emery, you will have to fight her in battle later anyways, in which case it is easier to deal with her now.
 * Chancellor Warrin will explain that he has heard of strange reports concerning Lord Gathbin's activities in The Grasp, such as hiring a large number of men for an unknown purpose. He recommends caution and keeping a close eye on the keep.
 * Return to Caed Nua where you will find a mob gathered in front of the castle, who claim that your men have been harassing them. Once the matter is cleared up, you can pay them some compensation in return for a stronghold Prestige bonus
