Debrief

The party arrive at the Graves estates and are met by Duke Graves and his brother Antonio Graves, whose offices have been broken in to. Also present are Antonio's son Eduardo Graves and the sister of Antonio's late wife, Catlotta Darrish, who is a loud and slightly obnoxious priestess of the Warrior. Antonio seems slightly cagey about the whole thing but the Duke insists that the matter must be investigated. Arcus and Gina investigate the crime scene and both notice that the office has been quite thoroughly messed up after the robbery but they also spot a trail leading to the window that whoever has gone over the place must have missed. The party learn from Antonio that all that seems to have been taken were some papers and petty coinage. Questioning the staff they find out that Eduardo was seen by the guards on the day of the theft but claims to have been out drinking at the time.

The party follow the trail in to the gardens, where it seems to get lost amongst the busy street outside. Gina, however, finds some dropped papers amongst the shrubbery, which whilst written in a code make reference to a sister Patience. Lady Rosemile and her servants drop this off at the College of Stars to be decoded, whilst the rest of the party talk to the temples. After some questioning they learn Sister Patience is a priestess of the Tender, who runs a hospital outside the city.

The party travel to Sister Patience's hospital, fighting off woodland creatures and the undead on the way. Before they reach the hospital they are attacked by a group who demands they turn away from their mission. They keep one of them alive to question and find out he was hired by a shady figure in a bar, with whom he has a meeting scheduled late in the evening. They talk to the sister and her assistant. From her they learn that the hospital was funded by the Graves family. They also find out that she tended to Antonio's late wife, Rosamind, who was frequently sickly and although she was desperate to have a child had a long string of miscarriages and stillbirths. She will also explain that they are not the first to ask questions about this. A trio of individuals came before them, all of whom had partially covered faces. Two of them seems to be heavilly scarred and the third from what glimpses she caught resembled Eduardo Graves. Henry questions her assistant who seems to want to reveal something but is reluctant to do so in front of Sister Patience. Henry asks the assistant for a tour of the hospital to check for remaining undead.
