Finally, over a makeshift wooden bridge in the Southwestern section of the map, you see two ordinary guards, one mounted and one on foot. It is usually their task to oversee the river crossing, but with the arrival of the Witchfinder from the Church of the Oration, they are left idle by the delay and have nothing left to do.
Curiously, your high vantage point enables you to spy upon two mysterious hooded figures to the farthest west of the river here. They are crouched against the cliff and riverbank, and appear very furtive and suspicious in their behaviour. None of the guards have seen them.

You can venture forth directly and explore the map yourself, or you can wait and observe to witness how events might develop.
Your gift of blood has pleased the Skull Chalice. It will offer you a rite named Whispering Fire, that will allow you to both speak and eavesdrop upon conversations within any area in the vicinity of a torchlit flame's illumination. (QM: this is the entire map - essentially grants you remote listening and communication).
ANY character may cast this rite, whilst holding the Skull Chalice, so long as they offer -1hp in blood to the chalice.
