The Invisible Hands - Part 1: Gambit - Plot & Excerpts
Nobody knew exactly what had gone on in the great hall of the fort, but the consensus was that it didn’t bode well for the future. Boynar learned what had happened the same evening in the barroom of the inn where he had found lodgings. Although darkness had already fallen, he went to his room to fetch his mantle and weapons. He didn’t need to consult his cryptic markings. Not only did he still know the address by heart, he had also found out several days before where it was located. The place was at the far southern end of the town, outside the old walls, but within the new ones. The quarter was a new extension, barely forty years old. The authorities hadn’t bothered demolishing the old enclosure and had built a new wall around the area, leaving the gate of the old one permanently open. Boynar had the disorientating feeling of leaving the town and yet not. The new extension to the town consisted for the greater part of arable land, meant to give it some measure of self-sufficiency in case of a 49 siege.
