Everyone piles into the waiting coach, Ru on top. The crisp morning air wakes everyone up as they pass through the winding streets. Alert for danger, Ru watches every alleyway, every street, every passerby for danger--yet none comes. The city is quiet, damp, and further dampened by the persistent morning fog.
The coach arrives in the clocktower district. The festival continues, and the gnomes still wear their masks and costumes, but the atmosphere is somber, guarded. The sounds are duller, the expressions quieter, the activities less open. A firecracker explodes in the distance, but seems pathetic, ridiculous in comparison.
The atmosphere is somber, guarded.
No one dares stop or distract the coach as it passes the festival and turns down Markovstrasse. It arrives at Pigglemorth's shop. An enforcer stands at the door and smiles in relief as the investigators arrive. "Good that you've come. Pigglemorth is not here right now; he's off doing maintenance at the clock tower. He shouldn't be back for about half an hour," he says, indicating the door.
A sign labeled "Closed" and a watch running backwards appear in the window.
"Gis let me know the latest. He's changed the display in the window, says that they are some of the dolls his daughter worked on."
The dolls in the window seem to watch as people pass.
"I can let you in here if you like. Might be the best chance we have to gather more evidence before he returns."

Calahan will give a friendly nod to the enforcer, light his pipe, and then enter the shop...
Ru Brike, barbaric human monk
"The clocktower?" Ru says darkly. "Where we found the headless body that was used to make that monster?"
Even as Perrin enters, Ru looks in the direction of the clocktower. "Did another guard go with him? If that clocktower has the means to making another beast, he shouldn't be there unsupervised."

"The man's a suspected murderer; he shouldn't be anywhere unsupervised." Darian stares hard at the enforcer that was supposed to be guarding him. "If it goes wrong now, this will be on your head."

A bead of sweat appears on the enforcer's forehead as he responds, "He's being supervised, sir!"
