Crake knows a scholar able to decode the strange inscription — but first they must reach Neustadt.
Crake may know such a scholar, yet Coen must first make for Neustadt — by daylight, no less.
A frosty welcome: Mevasser stormed off, though Crake still argues his case. Follow them.
Mevasser yielded at last, furnishing an engraving depicting Silas beside his atelier — perhaps it indicates the route.
Mevasser recounted Silas, the legendary alchemist who perhaps pioneered gargoyle-crafting; his journals should resolve the enigma.
The woodcut sets Silas's workshop in Altenmarkt — the hunt begins immediately.
The woodcut sets Silas's workshop in Altenmarkt — Coen should meet Crake soon to seek it.
The right street is located, but the precise house is not; ask the locals.
An old woman indicated a house that might once have been Silas's; examine it with Crake.
Inside the likely house, uncertain it was truly Silas's — search it thoroughly.
Nothing stands out but the chimney; it merits a closer look.
The planks beside the chimney appear disturbed — perhaps they will budge.
A trapdoor beneath the planks likely hides the cellar mouth.
The cellar seems empty — yet Silas may have cached something there.
A hidden passage behind a bookcase sinks further underground.
Primeval ruins under Svartrau — Silas must have conducted his foul trials here.
Unmistakable: this served as Silas's workshop — his laboratory, rather. Yet someone arrived earlier; did they covet his research as well?
The robbers let fall a leaf of Silas's tome; seize them, or at minimum track the remainder's path.
Some thing slaughtered this man; his corpse may offer leads — or possibly the pilfered tome.
A beast has hauled Crake further into the ruins — save him!
The creature lies slain yet Crake is hurt; guide him securely from the ruins.
Henrik, an Altenmarkt trader, identified a dwelling possibly once Silas's; examine it alongside Crake.
