 [[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's 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.

 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.
