After the fight with Ogzu, Sisha and Kofi made their way toward the city of Playeddear. The sun was beginning to set, so they decided to make camp in the wilderness.
This turned out to be a mistake.
A large pack of hyenas attacked, and in the ensuing chaos the two were separated. It probably would have gone better had not an unlucky bite tore Sisha's hand open, causing her to drop her weapon. Beset by four snarling predators, Sisha managed to fend off all but one, which continued to tear at her, until she was nearly helpless.
Moments before the creature tore out her throat, a silver scimitar flashed in the darkness, cleaving the animal's head in two.
The adventurers finally arrived at Playeddear. At the north of the city was a great library, the Knowing Orbs-Home. Sisha, who had learned to read from an early age and taught the value of books, was overwhelmed by the sudden wealth of knowledge that lay open to her.
Not wanting to let the knowledge go to waste, Sisha took out two books that interested her: Your Own Story Book, a book on writing an autobiography for adventurers, and The Secret of the Injury, a book on treating injuries (her own still fresh in her mind).
It had been a while since she last had a good drink, so Sisha made her way toward the local tavern, The Sugary Buttery Garnishes, where Sisha brought up a concern that she had overheard being discussed among the librarians.
"Look, I just want a good, old-fashioned monster hunt. None of this 'oh, you can't kill me, I'm a beloved member of my community' garbage. Let's go kill a cyclops."
On their way back to tell the librarians the good news, the adventurers were ambushed in an alleyway right outside the Church of Saints.
Zih ran inside the church for safety and quickly found herself cornered by Kofi, who proceeded to kill her.
"Now look what you've done. How are we supposed to figure out where she came from now?"
The Church itself, interestingly enough, was ruined. Curious, Sisha looked inside. An extensive catacomb system still lay beneath the Church's remains.
At the bottom of the catacombs, they found a tomb.
Sisha suddenly realized her clothing was in tatters from the long journey, and was covered in blood. There was surprisingly little access to goblin-sized gear out in the open - most of their findings went to Kofi.
"Let's go find me some new clothes."
