Gardens of the Moon: Chapter 10

Setting: Pale / Rhivi Plain / Blackdog Forest

Summary

Toc and Paran meet and Toc convinces Paran that the Adjunct’s mission is not isolated to Sorry. They decide to catch-up to Tattersail, who has already left for Darujhistan to warn Whiskeyjack.

The Warrens are being devoured by Tool’s Elder powers. Tattersail is exhausted from travelling by Warren and on the Rhivi Plain confronts Bellurdan about Tayschrenn and the Adjunct’s mission to raise a Jaghut Tyrant. The Thelomen refuses to believe the Empire would raise the Tyrant. They fight and are killed but Tattersail somehow survives by using Nightchill’s preserved remains. Tool identifies a number of Warrens opened by Tattersail and Bellurdan, including Starvald Demelain, the First Elder Warren. He senses a new presence. Paran and Toc come across the bodies of Bellurdan and Tattersail; Toc finds tracks of a child-like being heading north-east.

Crone reports to Caladan Brood in the Blackdog Forest about events on the Rhivi Plain and Darujhistan. Brood’s forces are winning against the Empire. Two days after Tattersail’s battle with Bellurdan, Crone survives an encounter with Hairlock who has been incinerating Great Ravens with his Chaos Warren as he heads towards Darujhistan.

Tool and the Adjunct witness the flight of Crone. Tool cautions her over complacency against the unknown powers (Hairlock and Tattersail/Bellurdan).
