[IC] Graveyard Shift: Session 2

Shortly after sunrise, you all awaken, eat your breakfasts, and go through your morning routines. But the dark revelations made the night before continue to haunt your thoughts. While Vizeron Dribbage remains very much at large, you know a lot more about his activities before he went missing... and the image that is forming isn't a pleasant one.

The day promises to be another scorcher. You meet up at Argus Inquiries headquarters and open all the windows to let in some small whisper of a breeze. With the documents you've accumulated on the table, Lady Argus joins you for a report.

To get to the graveyard, you follow many of the same steps as yesterday. (Lord Mengus stays behind, as Lady Argus has requested his help on another case.) You hire a horse cart and lead it west into the Upper City. There you take the Hill's Gate out of Nornholt along the Greyhaven Road. The gate guards remember you from yesterday, so your passage isn't slowed too much. When you reach the dirt path, you take it east toward the Dribbage property. About a half hour later, you reach the cemetery, which is blanketed in a thick fog. From what you can tell from outside the gates, it seems to be well kept, even if the headstones and crypts betray years—if not centuries—of rain and wind. Birdsong fills the air as the morning sun creeps upward. You hear a gruff voice humming a tune from somewhere further within the graveyard.
