-[[people:​Keribrar]] wakes near the edge of a forest to the sound of a horn. The melody has a sad and haunting sound as the woods seem to whisper in counterpoint. This would not be the first time time he got lost somewhere, but typically he remembered the why. He follows the tune and comes across a naked elf and a tiger. The elf is playing a brass horn and stroking the tiger'​s fur. He welcomes Keribrar to [[atlas:Mocker'Grove]] and when he stands upright Keribrar can see he is both man and tiger. Like the centaurs of stories his lower half is that of a larger tiger.+[[people:​Keribrar]] wakes near the edge of a forest to the sound of a horn.

-The [[creatures:​Liminal]] calls himself [[people:MrCanders]] is amused by Keribrar and during the course of some wordplay he decides that Keribrar would be fun to hunt - Keribrar is not a willing participant. Keribrar offers to tell him a story for amusement instead, which Mr. Canders agrees is a good trade. The story is so poorly told that Karibrar is nearly killed on the spot. Instead Keribrar preforms a bit of magic, which seems to at least buy him some time.+The [[creatures:​Liminal]] calls himself [[people:Mr Canders]] is amused by Keribrar and during the course of some wordplay he decides that Keribrar would be fun to hunt - Keribrar is not a willing participant.

 Mr. Canders finally admits that he was waiting for some of the summoned to finally make their way into his woods. He is here as a guide for people like Keribrar to arrive. He is unimpressed by the elven wizard and makes no bones about his chances of surviving the coming collapse. In the end Keribrar agrees to a future favor if Mr. Canders would set aside his disappointment and act as his guide. The agreement struck Mr. Canders guides Keribrar into a thick fog bank. Mr. Canders finally admits that he was waiting for some of the summoned to finally make their way into his woods.

 [[people:​Thorne]] wakes up in a very comfortable chair in a well laid out parlor, a goblet of wine in his hand. In fact it nearly slips out when he wakes, but he catches it with panache. After looking around he is in the sitting room of the [[atlas:The Sister'​s Roses]], a well-known mid-shelf brothel. One of the [[creatures:​sidhe]] walks into the parlor speaking to Throne as if in the middle of a previous conversation that Throne does not remember. The best he can make out of the conversation is that this sidhe is drawn to death and expected to find something here. He is willing to wait for some time to see what happens. [[people:​Thorne]] wakes up in a very comfortable chair in a well laid out parlor, a goblet of wine in his hand.

-An argument between a patron and one of the Shakkers' Gang draws the attention of both sidhe. Thorne moves to break up any potential calamity, a task which the madam pays him well. This is not their night at the house and Thorne knows trouble is brewing. Most of the gang members are carrying poorly concealed knives or bludgeons waiting for Holwen'​s Boys to arrive. Conversation comes to an end when the door shatters into splinters and blows inward. The staff run for cover as a mage with his hands afire steps through the doorway.+An argument between a patron and one of the [[orgs:​Shakker'Gang]] draws the attention of both sidhe.

 The magician turns his flames on the Shakkers, but a well thrown club disrupts his concentration. The flames lick up his arms as he panics losing complete control. Twin pillars of flames extend from his flailing hands burning anything, and anyone, they touch. The sidhe is fascinated by magician'​s agonizing death as Thorne leads the Shakkers out through a window. Outside are a group of Holwen'​s Boys who have been waiting for the rats to scurry from the building. The magician turns his flames on the Shakkers, but a well thrown club disrupts his concentration.

 As Quilate circles around the canyon watching the monstrous toad he spies someone watching the spectacle as well from a concealed position. Quilate gains altitude and strikes down at the spy, knocking some implements from their hands and scattering ink and papers. The woman rolls backwards while trying to kick out at the same time - failing at both and ends up tangled in a blanket. As Quilate circles around the canyon watching the monstrous toad he spies someone watching the spectacle as well from a concealed position.

-When she finally untangles herself she lets fly a blistering verbal assault on Quilate. It is clear that she is some sort of academic and has been here for several weeks. She becomes even more angry when she sees the broken jade arm he is holding. She diverted the river in the hopes of reviving the toad goad worshiped ​by the [[orgs:Geval]]. Now the creature is clearly angry and will not stop until the entire canyon collapses - already Quilate can see that it can get the front of its mouth clear of the cavern.+When she finally untangles herself she lets fly a blistering verbal assault on Quilate.

Now the creature is clearly angry and will not stop until the entire canyon collapses - already Quilate can see that it can get the front of its mouth clear of the cavern.
  
 Silence descends on the canyon as a stone lemur-like creature pulls itself away from the wall at the back of the cave. It touches the woman on the back of her head and puts her to sleep. The stone lemur tells Quilate that he has finally woken but he does not think he is ready. He has been summoned to guide Quilate, but warns him that his destructive greed will darken his path. The lemur seals the broken crevices and returns the toad-god to his slumber. Silence descends on the canyon as a stone lemur-like creature pulls itself away from the wall at the back of the cave.
