Ok, good to know that Gilbert's behavior to use hat of disguise is something not surprising thing to do, even considering he is heir of Gaius. Also good know I may be killed on LoS in most big cities and capitals, at least ones with nobles in it. But considering his bardic career and studies he may have briefly been in those locales but it has always been big gamble on his part. Perhaps the monastery in Swai is considered one best educated but neutral grounded locales (like Candlekeep in Faerun).
