Forsythe and Kosha spoke to the boss man, Wari Sesk, and discovered that the pendant did pass through a couple of hands while in Thriest. It was unique enough to catch his attention, and let them know it was Cecil that kept it while in town. They tracked Cecil to the underground tavern, The Cavern, he told them he had passed it to Skyla, a runner who can usually be found in Rarmon.
Evangeline continues her conversation with Gavyn. He shares that he can often slip past his mother's eye and that it is easier now that he had his pendant enchanted to prevent scrying. Through his research, Gaera's group has been with her for quite some time, and her other affiliates either turn up missing or are lavished with gifts. He also shares his belief that Gidna is being used for a two-fold purpose. Kadath and Fix speak with Elijah who was researching possible reasons for Gaera to have a blood vial. Then they found Tatra to ask her some questions. She told them that the Order of the Third Eye frowns upon fighting within the order. She also said that Giselle is more trusted, but Dollen is more accurate. She also encourages Kadath to check the book he received for hidden information. After returning to his room, Kadath spills a bit of blood onto the book and discovers a hidden message: "Balance is shifting, you must restore. Seven still to stand and Shaji, at last, the door." As Kadath is looking at the book, Fix reaches out to Gidna with his circlet. He does connect, but her answers come slow and without any emotion. Fix determines that this is not Gidna and stops communicating. After the group gets back together, Evangeline takes a closer look at the Fates card to discover the crystal ball on the card has floating eyes and as they drift by the eyes look directly at her. The card gets put away and all of the group share what information they have gathered. Eventually, they decide to head to Rarmon and ask Meiril to send them. In Rarmon, they head to the Orrery to check in and get a place to stay. When they arrive, they find the Orrery broken. Shelly informs them that Gidna came and destroyed the machine and hurt Garrot. Kadath and Forsythe head to the infirmary to speak with Garrot while Evangeline and Fix begin assessing the damage. Digging into the mechanics Evangeline and Fix discover parts that must be replaced entirely. As they were looking, markings were discovered within the casing. Fix recognizes the secret code he and Gidna shared reading "I am not myself, please forgive me."
