Wolf's Bite

by Revered Father Darcell Durros

As negotiations concluded, the party secured a substantial stake in the Chainstone-operated mines for transportation, establishing the Wolf's Bite Company under Mavros and Ellis's leadership. Seeking further insights, Ellis visited Ziny's bookstore, acquiring a book related to the mines. Later, Mezo's discussion with an elf from the Chainstone family unveiled unsettling information about the mines, hinting at the presence of ogre mages and fluctuating mysterious entities.
 
However, the night took a dark turn when Ellis and Mavros were ambushed and abducted. In a desperate attempt to fend off their assailants, Ellis unleashed a fireball, but the retaliation was swift and brutal, leaving him unconscious. They were taken to an unfamiliar location where Lucius awaited them. The gravity of their situation became clear when they found themselves imprisoned within the Gheldieg estate. Lucius, showing no mercy, ordered the execution of Malakai and coerced Mavros into representing him in the negotiations, with a sinister plan to frame Gwilym for Malakai's murder. Lucius's intentions to target the Dannihyr family were also revealed.
 
After this harrowing experience, Ellis and Mavros managed to escape and regrouped with the party at the inn, now faced with the daunting task of navigating the treacherous web of political intrigue and danger that enveloped Eshperta.
