Attack on Thimble’s Hideout
Seven masked attackers struck Thimble’s hidden apartment, left her critically injured, removed their dead and stole the Stone of Nightsong.
View 20 event details
- Approximately seven masked attackers entered the hideout expecting resistance.
- The intruders fought like murderers relying upon surprise and numbers rather than disciplined soldiers.
- Thimble killed at least three attackers.
- Thimble escaped into a narrow drainage grate while carrying the genuine escape glyph.
- The attackers could not reach her inside the grate.
- Thimble was left unconscious, with a damaged wing and close to death.
- The attackers removed the bodies of their dead companions.
- Blood beneath the concealed entrance showed that bodies had been dragged away.
- The apartment door was shattered and the interior violently searched.
- Papers, furniture, the mattress and a glass display case were torn apart.
- Six attackers wore old or damaged boots; one wore noticeably fine footwear.
- Crow feathers carrying pine resin, alcohol and tobacco scents were found among the traces.
- The evidence suggests the Crow Keepers but does not prove their responsibility.
- The Stone of Nightsong and other magical material were removed.
- The genuine escape glyph remained protected only because Thimble carried it into the grate.
- Thjazi’s letter to Bolaire remained behind.
- Gavrey says Casimir returned after the attack with new equipment, enough gold to clear a severe debt and a deed to a Gormalay stronghouse.
- Gavrey says Casimir had a private crew of four or five Crow Keepers loyal to him, separate from Solomon’s claimed knowledge.
- Thimble recognises that one masked attacker may have matched Casimir’s size, but this remains her inference rather than direct identification.
- The wider Crow Keepers deny authorising an attack on someone as connected as Thjazi.
The Failed Rescue of Thjazi Fang
The rescue failed after Thimble was attacked, Cyd disappeared and a deliberately planted false glyph deceived Azune’s inspection.
View 23 event details
- Halandil spent weeks pleading, bargaining and arranging an intervention to save Thjazi.
- Thimble was to finish a ceramic escape glyph and conceal it inside Thjazi’s coat.
- Azune was assigned to inspect Thjazi and intended to conceal or manipulate the magical scan.
- Breaking the glyph would transport Thjazi into a waiting wagon.
- Casimir supplied the wagon.
- Cyd Pridesire was supposed to position and drive the wagon.
- Thaisha and Occtis were to meet Thjazi outside Dol-Makjar and finish the extraction.
- Wicander was intended as a political or legal failsafe if the operation failed.
- Masked attackers entered Thimble’s hideout before she could deliver the glyph.
- Thimble saved the completed glyph by carrying it into the drainage grate.
- Cyd was absent and remained missing during Episode 1.
- Azune nevertheless detected conjuration and illusion magic at the back of Thjazi’s coat.
- Azune signalled the apparent ward’s location to Thjazi.
- The genuine glyph never reached Thjazi.
- The executioner pulled the lever and no magical extraction occurred.
- The later discovery of the genuine glyph proves that the detected object was something else or that the scan was deceived.
- Episode 2 confirms that the object detected in Thjazi’s coat was a cheap ceramic forgery rather than Thimble’s genuine glyph.
- The forgery reproduced the expected illusion-and-conjuration signature while containing no true conjuration effect.
- The false signature was designed to deceive Azune’s magical inspection and fade by morning.
- The discovery confirms deliberate sabotage or manipulation by someone with detailed knowledge of the rescue plan.
- Gavrey’s testimony establishes that Casimir suddenly acquired new gear, substantial gold and a Gormalay deed after the failed rescue.
- Cyd’s demand to know what happened to a missing wagon places another rescue operative in direct conflict with Casimir immediately afterwards.
- Wicander confirms that Thjazi’s death served political Halovar and Tachonis interests, according to Yanessa’s explanation.
