The Empty Private Chamber
The Empty Private Chamber
One of the private chambers at the Sanctitude Saunas has remained reserved for nearly two weeks, but its patron has stopped appearing.
The attendants became concerned after finding muddy footprints inside the locked room, even though no one had been seen entering through the hallway.
The chamber belongs to Prophetess Maelin Vos, a local timber investor. Maelin is safe, but she admits she had been secretly meeting a river worker named Derrin Hale.
Derrin had been using an old maintenance passage behind the steam vents to enter the chamber without being seen.
Shortly before he disappeared, Derrin accepted a well-paid freight job downriver. He told Maelin he had been instructed not to ask questions about the cargo.
His destination was Reiver’s Right.
