Leaving The Temple Of Kali

Magni asks the Hand of Kali to explain exactly what's going on, now that the immediate danger seems to have passed.

She explains that she is not human, and was created long ago for a purpose. When Magni asks what purpose she advises that she does Kali's will, either staying death or dealing it. The dwarf squints inquisitively at her and asks whether she's staying or dealing death at the moment.

The Hand of Kali enigmatically states that "They have lives like flies, they come and they go."

Landra attempts to summarise the situation, asking "You woke up fully formed, ages ago, as some kind of shape-shifter?". She is corrected, the Hand of Kali is not a shape-shifter.

Tharin pipes up, asking "If you worship death, then why are you afraid of it?"

The Hand of Kali explains that at one time she was not, now she is, and she prefers it that way. She accepts that she is merely one of many.

Tharin asks "How many hands does Kali have?"

"As many as she needs."

Tharin mentions that as a [[1]] he has always had the chance to get to know people; he's not used to having to deal with people he doesn't know.

Moit Snabur

Returning to the Barrowsea docks, the party quickly finds Moit Snabur and questions him about the box. It becomes clear that though he was well paid he thought he was smuggling something on-board for the occupants, rather than anything malicious. Moit tells them that he was paid by Burim Lorpen, and gives up his address readily enough the moment aggression is shown.

Burim Lorpen

The Hunted gather outside the house of Burim Lorpen and discuss the best way to handle the situation. It is agreed that Magni will go down an alley and wait at the back door, while the Hand of Kali enters through an upstairs window. Landra asks if anyone else can open the lock, and when told "Well I might be able to, but it's okay, you do it." she shoots the lock out of the frame.
