Losing patience with the general xenophobia of local couple they saved from the smuggler murderers, the young hanataz decide to return to the carnivalle to seek out additional guidance on what they should do next.  The sense of urgency to warn their elders was made all the more acute by the discovery that there may be some connection between the strange magics that assaulted the Blue Viel Troupe and the leadership of Nevermore.

Meanwhile, the zatis discovered that the strange dagger in Luthander’s possession may be magically connected to a wholly separate group of people that retains a centuries-old commitment to destroying the hanataz people.

Pursuing the murderers from Luthander’s vision before they can kill two more religious figures, the driven band of hanataz race to find the culprits based on the information provided by Vezzy. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the heroes' efforts to prevent crimes that might be blamed on the Blue Veil Troupe was met with less-than-desired responses from townies. 

Meanwhile, the zatis are unable to come any closer to capturing the strange, animated bird that seems committed to spying on their activity.

Battling their way through and out of the Tent of Illusions, our reunited band of zatis try to make sense of Luthander’s newfound abilities and the many mysterious happenings that seem to keep assailing the Blue Veil Troupe.  Fully succumbing to hanataz curiosity, the young heroes’ efforts to investigate these mysteries are met with cryptic clues that hint at the involvement of the gods, as well as earthly threats of violence by those who would keep their plots cloaked in shadow.

 Meanwhile, Jericho’s efforts to seek guidance from Old Strem and the other arcane leaders of the carnivalle, disclose that the threats facing the troupe may well be otherworldly in their evil.

Successfully riding Luthander’s luck to deal with troublemakers at the carnivalle, our band of hanataz nonetheless find the party separated once again. With one group trying desperately to find their wayward ally, that lone explorer feels obligated to dig deeper into one of the many newly arisen mysteries that seem to be assailing the Blue Veil Troupe.  Both paths eventually lead all our young heroes to a place where all magic seems to have gone awry, or worse, to have been purposely turned against the hanataz.

Meanwhile, Moore’s magical investigation of Luthander’s newfound dagger reveals that the rouge’s recent visions might be arcane in nature, rather than supernatural.

Spread across the whole of the carnivalle in their efforts to resolve various issues, our band of hanataz do their best to maintain the peace.  Despite their efforts, each young hero seems to find themselves surrounded by darkness and rumors of murder.  After finally reconvening to tell all they know to the elders of the troupe (the Bonduran Council) in hopes of gaining guidance, the young heroes instead find themselves facing the full ire of ne’re-do-well townies when one of them inexplicably manifests new powers.

Meanwhile, the new item that found its way into Luthander’s possession is likely to be the luckiest find in the recent history of the Blue Veil Troupe... or the harbinger of doom for the hanataz.

Returning to the carnivalle triumphantly, our band of hanataz is pulled in several directions at once as everyone wants to know of their exploits or to warn them of impending doom. While focused foremost on trying to obtain some answers by reviving the Sudestan man from the old well, the party finds more than its share of new information and resulting new questions from friends, rivals, and strangers alike.

Meanwhile, Jericho and Luthander have distinctly different interactions with children at the carnivalle. While our bard, jester entertains the camp yunstas and tries to teach them the finer points of defending themselves, our handsome rogue receives an unexpected gift from an adoring fan.

Battling against “the bad one” that Spider-Robert had warned them about, our young zatis understand that victory would provide them the time and space to finally escape the well, along with unhindered access to whatever lies deeper within the tunnels.  Pushing their luck in search of more treasure for the Blue Veiled Troupe, the party encounters riddles in need of answers, missing keys, and doors that are best left unopened. 

Meanwhile, just as the young hanataz are experiencing the triumph of victory, the foreboding voice in Moore’s head warns her that not all are safe and that death begets death.

Dealing with the threat of the purple mist room, the stranded hanataz have no choice but to push deeper into the dark tunnels in search of another means of egress.   Amid their findings are more dark and long-forgotten ruins, disquieting and undiscernible voices, and an unexpected potential ally.

Meanwhile, the zatis’ initial efforts to discover who might be responsible for trapping them in the well revealed only that it is someone or something that doesn’t hunt with steel blades alone.
