Gardens of the Moon: Chapter 20

Setting: Darujhistan / Gadrobi Hills

Summary

Kruppe gives two masks for the Fete to Murillio. Murillio accuses Kruppe of being the Eel. Kruppe casts a spell and Murillio forgets what they were talking about. Rake informs Baruk that he will also attend the Fete. Mammot awakens and tells them they have two to three days before the Tyrant is fully awake.

Lorn enters Darujhistan from Worry Gate. Circle Breaker volunteers to take a fellow guards place at Simtal’s Fete. At Quip’s Bar, Lorn watches Fiddler, Hedge and Mallet play cards using the Deck. Fiddler seems to be inventing the rules as they go - the game describes past events and is closed by Orb, true sight and judgement. Whiskeyjack enters and Lorn assumes command of the mission.

Into the afternoon, Crokus and Apsalar wait in K’Rul tower. Serrat waits in the stairwell and again prepares to attack. However someone sent by the Prince (K’azz D’avore) threatens Serrat that the Coin Bearer will not be harmed.

The Jaghut Tyrant Raest awakens. Crone watches from above as the red dragon Silanah leads four black Soletaken dragons who attack Raest.
