An group led by Pha'bioh the blonde Jupani heads into another section of the City of Hands. Included in this team is Inquisitrix Esther and her lupine lackeys, Envoy, Rawrii, Zoltan and a little cheetah named Kaela. They find some inscriptions and diagrams that bring into question the purported history of the City of Hands – and of the mute race known as the Savanites. They further uncover the remains of the great palace of the "Priest-King", and decide to turn back after getting "bad vibes" about what the ruins might contain
