Further interactions with Arden have him be nervous in front of the party, and he attempts to be on the party's good side under the belief that Marls had disrespected a True Soul. He can then be told to fish Marls out of the water, to which he attempts to no avail [2] and moves away from the Zhentarim Shipping Crate, allowing the party to interact with it or steal it.

Listening to Arden reveals that he does not actually care about Marls, and that he is attempting to salvage his armour, and not save the man himself.[3]
