Well, that's something.

I just figured out a plot point that's been bugging me in the new!Ben&Janni story.
I've got a guy with a sword stabbinating people late in the story, whom Ben finally kills violently and messily (without remembering he did it *evil laughter*). I had no idea who this guy was or what he was doing in the book, but now I do and it's a rather substantial load off my mind. He's a loyal family retainer who knows what Ben did to the villain's (twin) brother and son (in the previous book) and is willing to help him exact his vengeance.
Now I just have to figure out logistics. How did this guy find out that it was Ben that killed the brother? Considering the fact that Osteim just sort of "disappears" in the previous book after heading over to Alex's place, I need some way that he'd know what happened. Must noodle that a bit. But it's a start. At least I know who he is now.
