V. b. Taking the Outpost

General Summary

Thuramirsday, 5803, Midsky 4

Deep underground, far from civilization, in the ancient and mysteriously abandoned city of Yis'tilah'ste, you have found an outpost of the Black Hand - a secret organization that operates under some royal thumb, though whose you do not yet know. With brazen confidence, you had begun taking on the members of the Black Hand in an attempt to take the outpost.

The fight was grueling on both sides, but you managed to down two of their members. As you retreated to a tower with the plan of picking them off as they came in, a trap they were falling for, you heard them called to retreat by an armored Black Hand that seemed to be their ranking superior.

As they retreated, Tort witnessed them disappear in a magic circle, filling the area with the static smell of ozone and tingling sensation of greater magics.

In order to investigate the area and ensure there are no other Black Hand lurking about, Ash disguised herself as one of the dead ones while Dreamhawk, Max, and Boran moved your slain enemies.

You began your exploration in the degrading tower that the Black Hand appeared to be attempting to restore. Inside were the statues of some of the Concord - Vethara, Lunirae, Thessara, and Arelion. Ash left an offering of pocket bacon for Lunirae and said one of her high prayers. Max prayed for Minos in the corner.

What will you find here? Can you still locate the things from Behram's stolen wagon? Who can say?!
