"Thank you Qadir." I take out my cedar rod, draw a circle and draw a spirit symbol.

"Haruspex?" Felix appears. "What is this place? I do not like it. It is painful. The warding here is strong..."

"I am sorry Haruspex but there is an immediate need. Can you tell me if one called Anak Sa'ir has passed beyond?"

I'm so creeped out right now and am hiding behind the Silini statue, holding onto his marble cock for courage.

"I could look into it, Haruspex," says Felix. "But it is not something I know immediately. And with a name like Anak-Sa'ir, I assume he is Zenji? That is often another hall. I will look, if you wish."

"Please do so. We need to change locations so I will summon you back shortly in a less painful place." I dismiss him. To Caoimhghin "We need to get to Desolation Row. Where's Sindre?"

"Sindre's sleeping! But yes, let's go to Desolation Row at once."

"Dominus?" Fiach is peeping into the doorway. "Do you want your litter?"

"Yes!"

I don't wait for the litter as Jax and I will likely go faster on foot. "Come Jax. We'll meet you there Caoimhghin."

A few minutes finds you, along with Fiach and Alwin, in the litter. The six bearers are passing swiftly through the Nirrion streets.
Though it is broad day, fear seems to leech the colors from the streets, and it feels cold to you.

I hug my bodyslaves for warmth! "What's this city coming to?" I vaguely lament.

Jax and Kestal reach Desolation Row a bit ahead of Caoimhghin, and the Cygnets have accompanied you in your going there.
"See!" says Jayadeva, pointing into a room beyond the mini-stage. "That's Petronius' room!"
The Cygnets had perhaps exaggerated when they said he was hacked to bits. Petronius is only in four chunks.
"Wine!" says Melius from upstairs. He has not followed you down.

I peer to see if there are any wraiths around.

You see none.
By the time you ascertain this, having checked both Petronius' room and Anak-Sa'ir's, Caoimhghin arrives.
"Caoimhghin, darling!" Belu calls out from upstairs. "Wine? Surely, you don't want to see the gory scene!"
