Shattered Sigil 3 Part 2: Who Watches The Watchers

The party discovers a pale, exsanguinated young man stuffed into a barrel, killed by a precise incision across the carotids, suggesting a skilled assassin and cult-style blood ritual. At a crowded diplomatic ceremony, Harold notices a disheveled “guard” who doesn’t match the professional staff and engineers a clumsy diversion to pull him into the dining area. The suspect fights with monk-like speed, slips free, and vanishes after an empty vial and scroll case are found on him. Meanwhile, Naira from the Amnian delegation fixates on the dais and later disappears; soon a chandelier-like blast injures several people. Pheon detects an invisible figure and webs the area, but when the spell fades Naira is found dead by exsanguination. Guards secure and evacuate the room; a guard is later found killed, the monk remains at large, and all four chancellors survive.   00:00 Body in a Barrel 00:58 Harold Scans the Staff 02:21 Autopsy Reveals Exsanguination 05:13 Cult Killing Connection 09:09 Ceremony Begins and Seating 14:34 Spotting the Disheveled Guard 16:54 Harold's Bladder Ruse 22:27 Dining Hall Confrontation 25:26 Initiative and First Clash 36:59 Naira's Strange Trance 43:08 Searching the Suspect 46:54 Stunning Escape Attempt 53:45 Caltrops and Smoke Trap 56:53 Pale Lark Curses Back 57:52 Trident From the Piano 01:00:16 Seagull Dive Bomb Chaos 01:05:26 Toast Goblets Suspected 01:06:32 Interrogation in the Smoke 01:08:54 Pale Lark Vanishes Upward 01:10:55 Magister Alarm and Prohibition 01:22:17 Chandelier Blast and Nara Gone 01:27:29 Web Reveals Invisible Target 01:34:36 Debrief and Cliffhanger Wrap
