Gardens of the Moon: Chapter 4

 

Setting: Pale

 

Summary

Tattersail meets with Whiskeyjack, Quick Ben, Fiddler and ex-Claw Kalam. Hairlock is declared insane from his use of the Warren of Chaos – the paths between Warrens – though Quick Ben remains in control. The Ninth is going to Darujhistan and must use Hairlock as their link with Tattersail. They know of the slaughter in Itko Kan and suspect Sorry is possessed. Kalam hints that Shadowthrone and Cotillion may be Emperor Kellanved and Dancer. They must use Hairlock to investigate Shadow’s connection to Sorry .

 

Paran lies before Hood’s Gate when the Twins of Chanceinterfere. Paran’s sword is named Chance. Another life will be taken in place of Paran’s. Oponn leaves before Shadowthrone and two Hounds of Shadow arrive. Shadowthrone allows Paran to live so as to follow him to discover who opposes Shadow.

 

Tattersail uses a spiral pattern for the Deck. The first card is Mason of High House Death; midway is Knight of High House Dark (Rake). A confrontation between Shadow and Rake is predicted.

 

Dujek confesses to Whiskeyjack that there is pressure to disband the Bridgeburners. Whiskeyjack realises the plan to infiltrate Darujhistan is designed to get the Ninth killed. Dujek tells him that if they somehow survive they can leave. Fiddler responds and implies that ten thousand soldiers are ready to rebel if Dujek wishes.

 

Hairlock is pursued through the Warrens by Hounds; Kalam, Quick Ben and Tattersail await him. Mallet confirms that Paran should be dead but lives because of Ascendant intervention. Tattersail must care for Paran since the Ninth will be gone. Dujek muses about the Moranth alliance before the Ninth leave.

 

The Hound of Shadow Gear pursues Hairlock to Tattersail's quarters. Hairlock tries to take Gear’s soul but Paran appears and lunges at the Hound, wounding it before it flees into the Warren of Shadow. Paran and Tattersail both hear a spinning coin.
