We go to the Gilded Page and ask the proprietor about the kidnapping of Marlowe. He gives a very thorough recounting. He describes the two automata that took him, and he says that they took him to the East. The only thing he said was “Run!” though it’s not clear who he said it to.

Celestiah says that she wants to learn more about the automata at the academy. She will take some time to go and do some research. She does some scrying and sees that they are several hours away by now.

We go to the Silver Stag Stables to get a horse. After setting off and riding for over an hour, things start to look strange and the trees are stunted. The horses are nervous.

We finally reach the location where they are holding Marlowe. We figure out how to open the doors using a central lever. Descending to his location, we hear him being tortured. He is saying that he “doesn’t know anything about a heart.”

We hide in the hallway. From here, Celestiah summons her cat familiar and casts a protective spell over Marlowe.
