"I brought some things for consignment..." Argol the Weaver said¸ laying out three intricately-woven bolts of spidersilk on the counter. "Some of my best¸ don't you think?" he said¸ running sensitive fingertips across the textured fabric. He waited for his old friend to respond in a deprecating manner¸ as the first stage of their long-standing haggle over prices¸ but Sajal Gax said nothing.
"Is everything alright? Have you spoken to the Magistrate?" Argol listened intently¸ but heard only his friend's shallow breathing.
"Perfectly alright." The merchant's slow response was low and devoid of emotion. "There was no need to speak to the Magistrate. I will pay you nine alvash for these." Each coin clinked with machine-like precision as the merchant counted them out onto the cool marble countertop.
Argol hurried from the shop¸ barely remembering to sweep the coins into his hand¸ and nearly toppling a bolt of cloth from its rack as he fled. Slipping through the door and into the marketplace¸ he was irrationally certain that he could feel Sajal Gax' hollow-eyed gaze following him...
The heroes are hired by a trade caravan as guards¸ and travel to the city of Ban Ma Terril. One of the merchants of the city¸ a weaver named Argol¸ warns them that something is going on -- people in the city have begun to act strangely: hollow¸ as if their wills were not their own¸ as if someone or something had stolen their very souls!
The investigation will lead to mystery¸ intrigue and murder¸ as the heroes are drawn into the machinations of a secret society that threatens the entire Red Planet!
