We consider that we really do not know who is behind all this; it is fairly sure that Erasmus' is behind it, but we have no idea who his agents are. In other words, we have to dig further, and see what we might find out about someone who is driving the grand scheme here. We decide to start digging among the nobility.
Of course, in addition, it seems that we have 3 different sets of people shadowing us. 2 locals, and (worryingly) 1 unknown, but higly skilled, crew. Possible explanation of the subterfuge regarding the inquisition itself?
Anyway, the nobility. We drive to district 7, the Shadow Manses, to contact Margraeve Cal Sur'Meywroth. The district is walled, and a passcode is needed to enter. The Arbites provide us with one. Holder-Smith and Alpha make the machine spirit in the terminal report to us, in an attempt to find out who is tailing us.
We drive to Sur'Meywroth's estate. It is enourmous. I speak to some servant through a terminal, stating that we are the Arbites, and the ones who saved his barge. We are told 'Thanks', and not let in. I call on the mansion again, this time being more unequivocal about us being the Arbites, and this time we enter.
The Manse is utterly overgrown, dirty and worn down, and the servant that 'greets' us is wearing the remnants of a fine outfit. The Margraeve is a very old, very skinny and very frail man, and almost before we ask about the murders he tells us that he belives they are the work of the Undertow.
More useful: he has seen and used the spyglass, you would see yourself from the outside. Most unsettling, he says. He also says that General Kahn is investigating the murders, and has amassed a large evidence base against the Undertow, and this will form the justification for a operation to "stamp out the vermin, once and for all". He also says that the selfsame general has a fragment of the mirror, in the General Office badge.
He knows someone else who owns a fragment, Rias Sur'Biscari, and he gives us the adress and a letter of introduction.
We are let into another mansion in terrible disrepair, and met by Sur'Biscari. Again haggardly thin and sickly. We cut to the chase quickly; he has lost the fragment gambling. It was lost to an offworlder, Salonius. Large, bearded guy, with a scar on his forehead. This Salonius has problems with Hesul, the Rag Queen.
He knows of another fragment, owned by lady Amonite. A possibly insane woman, who has not been seen for some 10 years. Her fragment is in the shape of a handheld mirror.
We ask about General Kahn, he describes Kahn as a powermad psychopath who will kill anyone in his way. As we inquire further, we talk about the council, he describes it as split between Meywroth, the evil one, and Euphemia Tassel, the good one, who says we cannot just starve everyone. As this happens we hear a 'thump', as from a breaching charge. It's the dead guys.
It is a very hard fight, the dead guys are very hard to 'kill'. And they hit hard, with some kind of poison. Dar is almost killed, as he receives the attention of several of them. During the fight we notice them going for Sur'Biscari. Has he been lying to us? We drug him and start the interrogation. It turns out that he still has shard, he is in fact wearing it, and it is his most priced possession. He has owned the locket for as long as he has been head of the family.
The locket was found in the uppermost room in the Folly. We discover just in time that the dead guys have implanted bombs in their spines, so we run. As we get outside we discover another mansion burning, it is the manse of Lady Amarite. We retrive the pict-fly we have had hovering about, it has a recording of the dead guys arriving; we see a flock of cyber mastiffs that just fall over as they arrive, and get up after they have passed. This looks like evidence of Logican involvement, but it is circumstancial at best.
We drive to the manse of Amarite, there is fire droids there. We find Amarite inside, beaten to death. The dead guys were there, before we met them...
