So he would have to have a hiding place very close to the meeting spot, which would be suspicious to at least one of the two of Garstan and Eodwine, right? Garstan, no doubt, since one of Eodwine's character flaws (oft forgotten except when it comes in handy) is to slightly oblivious of his surroundings, so focused on the "thing before his eyes". That should work. A wall? A shack? A postern? ????
It is tricky. I think it could work if Sorn, enraged at being caught and mistrustful of whoever was sent to greet the party, went out and hid to eavesdrop.

Tara - what do you think?
