V. Finding the Trail

General Summary

Eresday, 5803 Midsky 4

It has been seven days underground as you made your way through Labyrinth of Yis'tilah'ste and into the city that time itself seems to have forgotten. You have found an abundance of wealth, just waiting to be taken. You have also been following the trail of two Black Hand members you found who were trying to flee the organization.

As you're taking your breakfast of rations and pocket bacon in the formal dining room of a massive manor house on a grand estate, you discuss you methods available for finding the Black Hand and whether or not they are within the area.

The decision is made to do a quick and general sweep of the area immediately around the gazebo that had brought you here. Ash and Tort were the first ones to check out a second building - the one that looks a little different. They are shortly followed by Max, who chooses to stand guard outside. Eventually, Dreamhawk and Boran join them as well.

Here you find a cocophony of ancient texts on all kinds of topics and each of you take a handful of them. After finishing your check of the immediate area, you decide that the Black Hand isn't here and decide to try to descend. Through some fiddling, you were able to make it move again, this time, thankfully, it was going down.

You were quite surprised to learn that the Black Hand had, in fact, come to you. As they tried to pelt you with arrows from below you waited until you could return fire.

Having the upper hand, no pun intended, you have been demolishing your enemy and only two remain alert. Will you be able to pick up the trail again?
