[[Skollops ag-Warka]] reveals that he has used [[Wellsian]]s' native psychic ability to take control of the [[Queen of the Black Market]]'s army of [[Wraith]]s, and demand to be given an [[Artefact of Power]], such as the [[Whistle of the Witch Varganax]]. However, [[Wendy VII]], the Queen's girlfriend, come to visit her, manages to sneak up behind the Wellsian without him or his Wraiths realising, thanks to the [[psychic dampener]] hairclip she is wearing. The Wellsian is forced to instead negotiate for his freedom and the Whistle, and agrees to give them the current location of [[the Clown Emperor|the Clown]] in exchange for the Whistle to take back to [[Radluhac ag-Wampyr|Earl Radluhac]]. | [[Skollops ag-Warka]] reveals that he has used [[Wellsian]]s' native psychic ability to take control of the [[Queen of the Black Market]]'s army of [[Wraith]]s, and demand to be given an [[Artefact of Power]], such as the [[Whistle of the Witch Varganax]].

==== Chapter 16 ==== | |||
[[Jenny Everywhere#Adventures with the Cupids|Jenny Everywhere]], [[Juliet-178]] and [[Arganthone-056]] arrive in the ruins of the [[Consistency Palatium]], on the last remains of what was once the planet [[Subcinctus]]. It initially appears deserted, but they soon find their way to the city that the survivors of the [[Consistency Imperium]] are building as a refuge for individuals who lost their homes to the [[Rift]]s, [[New Subcinctus]]. | |||
Identifying themselves as friends of [[Tracker-764]], [[Marksmanship-522]] and [[Bibliophile-962]], they easily get themselves taken to the city's visionary leader (and former head of the [[Consistency Imperium]]), [[Vertolin]]. After the appropriate greetings, he takes them to what remains of the archives. Unfortunately, though they do have some information on Madame Tarsa, it teaches them nothing that they don't already know. Jenny suggests that they head to the [[Interdimensional Tavern]] next to simply ask around for relevant information. | |||
