The warehouse district swallows them in wet gray silence. Fresh tire tracks cut through grime, and the loading dock doors hang open like a forced mouth. The Peacebringer throbs in Thadeus’s grip.
Marla crouches by a smear on the pavement, scanning the broken plastic and dragged footprints. Elias hangs back, tense and pale, staring into the dark dock.
Elizabeth Bathory
This is your answer. Not an address, a handoff. Someone was here very recently.
Thadeus Jovanović
The trail is fresh. They are close.
A metal clang echoes from inside the dock, then stops. Thadeus sees a narrow service corridor beyond the open doors, lit by a weak red emergency light.
Elias the Shopkeeper
If that case moved again, it moved through here. We do this now, or we lose it.
Marla
Then we go in together. No more guessing.
Elizabeth steps forward, watching Thadeus with hard urgency, while the Peacebringer pulses once more toward the open dock. The next link in the chain is inside.

“Are there Revenant guards in this area?”
YES, BUT (VeryLikely, rolled 77)
Thadeus peers into the red-lit corridor, but the shadows shift with the rhythmic, heavy breathing of armed men waiting just beyond the threshold. They are present, yet they remain unaware of the group's exact position in the rain.
“While Thadeus starts to move through the door, Elizabeth rushes past and attacks one of the guards with inhuman speed. Her hands appear to turn into large claws that she uses to pierce the guard's chest, causing him to drop in a crumpled heap. Elias and Marla appear to be horrified by the attack”
SUCCESS (Legendary Agility, rolled +0)
Thadeus slips through the threshold, Peacebringer leading, and the corridor swallows him in red light. Elizabeth bursts past his shoulder, too fast for the eye to track, heading straight for the nearest guard.
Her hands buckle into hooked claws as she slams into him, driving him back and folding him to the concrete in one brutal motion. The man drops limp, and the remaining guard recoils at the sound.
Elias the Shopkeeper
What is she?
Marla
No. No, no...
