They are on the upper level of the back room of the Posthouse (X:27, Y:14). The "head" of the pigeons, [[Commander Lightfeather]], tells the party what he knows of where the pigeons are going missing. He states that intelligence on the source of the missing pigeons is in short supply, but that their enemy's flanked them "on the west side, not one rooftop away." | ||
Speaking with Commander Lightfeather grants an inspiration point for both Karlach, Jaheira and/or Lae'zel (Outlander and Soldier backgrounds) "Enlisted Avian" and "Reporting for Duty," respectively. | |||

'''Note:''' As of Patch 2 / Hotfix 5, this part of the quest is somewhat bugged: | |||
* Firstly, the shipment inquiry letter can be found separately lying around on the rooftop, so the letter bundle doesn't need to be opened to read it. However, there is no way to return the unopened bundle to the postmaster ''and'' confront him about the shipment inquiry. (Giving him the unopened letter bundle completes the quest and leaves no dialogue options to confront him. And confronting him about his letter also completes the quest and leaves no dialogue options to hand him the unopened letter bundle.) | |||
* Secondly, if you open the letter bundle while the free-standing copy of the shipment inquiry is not currently in your inventory, then the shipment inquiry will be teleported into your inventory. So, the bundle gives you either two or three letters, depending on whether you already have the shipment inquiry in your inventory. | |||
* If you hand over the shipment inquiry you find on the ground to the postmaster (or confront him about its contents), the bundle of unopened letters remains in your inventory, and opening it afterwards teleports the shipment inquiry into your inventory again even though you already handed it over to the postmaster. | |||
None of the above will prevent completion of the quest or have any other such negative effect; it's merely confusing. | |||
