Where Loyalty Lies

Objectives

Coen's exploits won him manumit rank; he must rendezvous with them by day in the square below Svartrau Cathedral.

Sara lingered at Svartrau Plaza; trail her to the refuge, where a vote on Coen's admission awaits. Has he not demonstrated his worth already?

Accepted at last, Coen took his first assignment from Crake: scouts vanished in Svartrau — discover their fate.

Initial assignment: locate the vantage where the scouts were most recently glimpsed — a Neustadt garret in a pink-faced house.

The pink-fronted house is found; the scouts kept watch from its attic, Crake said.

Bloodstains beneath the scouts' lookout — examine them closely.

The blood trail continues down the street; follow it — scouts' blood, or their enemy's?

Deep cuts score the wall where the blood leads; investigate further.

The trail ends at a derelict Middens warehouse, plague-deserted, doors barred and windows shuttered — find another entrance.

The missing scouts are found, savagely massacred — check whether any yet live.

One scout still draws breath; question him before it is too late.

Binding the dead scout's spirit requires effects once dear to him.

All four scouts died outside Coen's grasp; only the yard's corpse remains — bind its spirit; it may yet speak.

Crake judges Coen still unproven; greater blows against Brencis must win the manumits' trust.

The attic lookout post must be combed for clues to the scouts' doom.

Troops skulk in the abandoned warehouse — arrived to clear the beast's remains? They stay silent; bloodshed alone can settle this.
