Arrival and Initial Inquiries

Expedition

Day 1 (Arrival): Dust arrives in the city, immediately intrigued by the underworld's power dynamics. He learns about Elena, a known and feared member of the Black Hand. With a particular interest in learning about Raven, her feared assassin patron, Dust begins to make subtle inquiries about Elena.   Night of Day 3: Word of Dust’s inquiries reaches Elena. She breaks into Dust’s room and wakes him at knifepoint, presenting him with two choices: impress her and earn her favor, or die. During this tense encounter, Dust makes an idle mention of wanting to learn about Raven. This sets the stage for his desperate attempt to gain Elena’s trust.
