 Thorne calls up some faerie light and they continue down the hallway eventually reaching a large chamber. A big pile of furs are piled up in one corner, a stack of discarded and broken spears nearby. In the center of the room is a large firepit with the remains of a human body spit-roasted over the hot embers. Its right arm and both legs have already been torn off. Thorne calls up some faerie light and they continue down the hallway eventually reaching a large chamber.

-They hear soft whistling and before they can hide a women enters the room dragging a mauled body behind her. She is terrified to find someone in the room of her master and tries to shoo them away, but they wants answers to their questions. She explains the body was mauled by the [[creatures:​Dark Keepers]] and if they do not leave soon they will meet the same fate. The creatures hunt in packs and seek the flesh of the living - they will not eat anything once it has died.+They hear soft whistling and before they can hide a women enters the room dragging a mauled body behind her.

 Thorne tells the woman that if she knows where they might be safe to lead on. She takes them to a well concealed door in an unremarkable hallway. After pushing a few stones she pushes a very small door in. Just as Kukla slips inside a large roar can be heard echoing through the tunnels. She shuts the door and lights a very small lantern. The only thing inside this cramped room is a large bell - no possible way it go in through the door. She rings the bell five times and tells them to wait. She must leave or her husband will come searching. Thorne tells the woman that if she knows where they might be safe to lead on. She takes them to a well concealed door in an unremarkable hallway.

 It is nearly an hour after the woman left that the sounds of chipping and sliding stones can be heard. A light is cast from the ceiling and [[people:​Vitorii|Vitorii'​s]] head pokes down. He knows Hafwyn, and sort of knows Thorne, so he takes her word that they are safe. He drops them a rope ladder and guides them past a hidden door into a storage room in at the [[atlas:​Pestilence Pustule]]. It is nearly an hour after the woman left that the sounds of chipping and sliding stones can be heard.

-He tells them they were in the [[atlas:​Tunnels of Misery]] beneath the [[atlas:Grand Temple]]. It is those tunnels where the condemned are thrown. He comes down to find if any bodies can be found intact. He avoids the Keepers, [[creatures:​Darkspawn]],​ and Master of the Tunnels. It is dangerous work, but usually yields more bodies that just waiting for someone to die.+He tells them they were in the [[atlas:​Tunnels of Misery]] beneath the [[atlas:Great Temple ​of Marak]].

 Thorne discovers the purpose of this special brothel and decides that it could be an interesting experience. He takes the coin he lifted from the King's Guard and pays for a few hours of entertainment. Given that Thorne is a "​special guest" he explains to his how the spirit is decanted into the body, while his assistants prepare and dress the body he selected. He leave the Sidhe alone with everything he needs for a unique experience. Thorne discovers the purpose of this special brothel and decides that it could be an interesting experience.

 At the gathering by the palisade a knot of men push people aside to make way for their leader. [[people:​Gabor]] begins to whip the gathering into a frenzy while he men distribute iron tools, bags of shavings, and a few knives. The fae fear the touch of iron and he has come prepared for battle. Hafwyn tries to talk them down until Kukla steps up and hits Gabor hard enough to collapse the man. The riot starts after seeing Gabor injured by this "fae creature"​ At the gathering by the palisade a knot of men push people aside to make way for their leader.

-Hafwyn tells Kukla to run and then disappears before the crowd. Kukla is drug under by the surging mob until he changes his shape to a human and joins them long enough to slip away. The humans, armed with iron, drive through the fae inflicting terrible casualties. The fae are just as vicious, but severely hampered by the blessed land. Their illusions turn to smoke and the powers of the [[lore:​Shadow ​Realm]] fade to mist when they work their magic.+Hafwyn tells Kukla to run and then disappears before the crowd.

 Several humans charge the tent where they are negotiating,​ but each of them freeze solid before coming within a dozen feet. The ice shatters leaving the humans in hundreds of pieces on the ground. Terrifying enough, they are still alive in some sense as they call for help from those nearby. Several humans charge the tent where they are negotiating,​ but each of them freeze solid before coming within a dozen feet.

-When Hafwyn left the fight she ran to the [[lore:Shady Tree]] to find [[people:​Alavara]]. The elves need to get involved before the fae turn the streets red with human blood. Once night falls the [[creatures:​unseelie]] will hunt in earnest. The mood in the tavern is somber after the death, but she is given directions to where Alavara is staying. She bangs on the Handmaiden'​s door until she gets an answer. After a short description of what has happened Alavara shouts for her armsmen to ready themselves and they leave with Hafwyn.+When Hafwyn left the fight she ran to the [[atlas:Shady Tree]] to find [[people:​Alavara]].

 As they near the bottom of the shelf they are joined by Thorne and Elora. With the silver tongue of the fae Thorne convinces those they pass to return indoors. The battle this evening will make the night more dangerous than any other night. The lingering crowds before him melt away to see to their own safety. As they near the bottom of the shelf they are joined by Thorne and Elora.
