Gardens of the Moon: Chapter 5

907th Year in the Third Millennium
The Season of Fanderay in the year of the Five Tusks
Two thousand years since the birth of Darujhistan, the city

Setting: Darujhistan

Summary
In his dreamworld, Kruppe walks westwards out of Darujhistan. He is small, round, loquacious and thinks highly of himself. He speaks with other inhabitants of his dream that possibly represent his Doubts, Gifts, Virtues, Hungers or Humility. He knows that Oponn’s Coin spins.

Crokus Younghand infiltrates the D’Arle estate near K’Rul Temple and steals valuables from the room of Challice D’Arle, a seventeen year old maiden. He sneaks a look at the sleeping girl who is naked from the waist up. The assassin Talo Krafar is injured by an unknown assailant and attempts to ambush them from K’Rul belfry. As he is leaving the D’Arle estate, a coin drops at Crokus’ feet just as Krafar fires his crossbow at his apparent hunter. Krafar is killed by a cloaked assassin, who is joined by two others who descend from the sky.
Crokus flees through the city from the three assassin-mages. He briefly meets his Uncle Mammot before reaching the relative safety of the Phoenix Inn. The three hunters convene outside the Inn; they are at war with the Guild of Assassins and don’t want witnesses.
