This definitely wasn't how it was meant to go. Our party faces off against one of the monsters who's been stalking them through the streets, and our Fool, Damien Mathers has the last pieces of the prophecy within his grasp. Will our party manage to survive such an ambush and beat Mathers at his own game? It all hangs in the balance.

While hunting for answers linked to Mavros' ultimate prophecy, the team faces down against what might be their toughest battle yet - with no guarantees that anyone survives... will Hecatae learn the true origins of their past? Will Bilwop realise what Happy is really up to? Will Alphage's demise mean a break in the case?

We leave the confines of the Hotel Amarant behind, heading off in search of a nightclub-cum-jazz-lounge, whose patrons may be able to help answer the mounting questions this crew has.
