The Missing Dancer

Arzuna is gone. Her residence stands empty, as though she had never been there at all. In the courtyard, the tall styrax tree still sways in the night wind, its rustling almost echoing her dance... but she would likely never return.

Telling Maggie About Arzuna's Sudden Departure
Maggie studied your worried eyes for a moment before saying, "Perhaps I know where she'll be."

"I've heard she bought a small plot in your family cemetery... using your family's name, with a few badges and letters to prove it. You know she has those. The gravekeeper reported it to me... I figure, if she's truly set on leaving, she'd likely visit it one last time."

Well, that was very possible.

Conditions:

Action:

Learning that Arzuna was gone, Nabhani blinked in brief surprise, then quickly regained his calm.

"Oh... maybe that's a good thing for her?" He scratched his head and lounged back among the soft pillows, the gems on his braids sparkling and tinkling.

Good thing? Furious, you dragged him into the streets to track Arzuna down, but came up empty-handed. Certainly the fault of this lazy, unreliable ally of yours!

Conditions:

Result:

[s2.name] put in every effort—or at least pretended to—tracking Arzuna. But the dancer, so used to handling nobles, had vanished completely. After that, you never saw her again.

Conditions:

Result:

Regular

[s2.name] spent the day scouring the city and caught an important clue: Arzuna had been seen heading toward a hill beyond the city walls. If your memory served—you surely wouldn't forget—this was the way to your family cemetery.

Conditions:

Action:

Arzuna's caution was beyond imagination. [s2.name] couldn't dig up a single useful clue. And just like that, Arzuna vanished, like a grain of sand swallowed by the desert.
