[Ed. note: I don't fully remember what happened near the beginning of this episode. Please fill in. -geordan]

Sendant has been been given command of a task force to clear out any threats in the northlands. Greymalkin Argent is his lieutenant.

Yadarjin is a suspect in the homicide of a merchant who was petrified, telekinetically thrown into a wall, and disintegrated (not necessarily in that order). A couple members from Subsection Three have been seen frequenting Arcanae, "keeping an eye" on him.

Yadarjin has asked Arlemis to defend him from an unnamed threat. Arlemis suspects that a powerful agent of the Ta'bar'pur is coming after Yadarjin, and has the party prepare for it -- which involves eschewing nearly all of their magic items. However, instead of facing one powerful creature, the party is beset by air elementals and a pack of umber hulks.

Plot Points

• Subsection Three is the Twingate equivalent of Internal Affairs.

Unanswered Questions

• It'll probably never be known, but was the merchant also charmed and slowed before he was killed? Just curious.
• What exactly is coming after Yadarjin?
• Where is Yadarjin?
