The game began with the characters arriving at the shuttered home of the deceased Dr. Koprulam Nuso. The will of the doctor was read out. There was no transfer of goods nor properties. The illusion gave vague hints of danger, and overt hints of intrigue, and adventure.

The party investigated the building, the mere bones of a home not used. The house was already sold, and the party wasted no time looking for clues. The house keeper told the party about the Azure Sentinels that quickly closed the investigation. A false panel was found in the library. Alas, it was previously plundered. Not but a scrap of paper was found. Finally, there were traces of anti divinatory magic in the bedroom.

Following the advice of the two previous students, the party went to the Doctor's old office. A repository that was rapidly sinking into the water line. There the party performed some odd jobs to secure the aid of the doctor's old assistant. He directed the party to a vault, gave a water compass, informed the party of some good taverns, and wished the party good luck.

The party went to observe the vault door, and its surroundings. Finally, the party went to rest, and regroup. That night, following his instincts, Liengod walked back to the doctor's old house. There he found a message from a unknown author. Not being a native of Marazhan, he pocketed it to bring it back to the group.
