Oh no, where once there was only intrigue, now there is… MURDER!  Who killed Ves Volette?  Who else is working an angle?  Rhaninn?  Laranth?  Certainly not our dear and trustworthy Den, who wanders the streets each night muttering about how he hates it!  Also Aurra Sing is still hard in monologue mode, we need to get her in front of a protagonist fast before she Xizors out entirely.
