{{spoiler|start}}
Laurel is at the [[Endor]] [[Inn]] throughout the story starting with {{DQ4 Chapter 2}} in which he meets [[Alena]] and her party.  Laurel tells the [[Zamoksva]] Princess that he arrived in town to watch the [[Tournament of Endor|Tournament]] and gives a victory song, suggesting that Alena could win with use of the [[Iron claw]].  He later congratulates her on winning in the event and wishes her luck for her journey.
 
During {{DQ4 Chapter 3}}, Laurel finds that poetry doesn't pay particularly well and is looking for work. In exchange for an advance payment of 600 [[gold]] pieces, he is willing to join {{Torneko}} for five days at a time. He's useful in his ability to cast spells, which Torneko can't do himself. After {{DQ4 Chapter 3}}, he is no longer recruitible.
 
In {{DQ4 Chapter 5}}, he states his happiness for {{Veronica 4}} and Prince [[Regan]]'s wedding as at the very least humans shouldn't be fighting amongst themselves.
