TEXT: “The hulls are well-maintained, the Wardens are 
  trained for any form of incursion and the eyes 
  and ears of the organization are many. What 
  dark force could possibly pose a threat to our 
  peace?”
  —Tusil, advisor to the lord Governor of 
  Duskwall
  A terrible magical disease called ‘Leviathan’s 
  Blight’ has swept its way through Doskvol, 
  prompting mass deployment of Spirit Wardens 
  to contain it. This has drawn a majority of them 
  away from Bellweather Crematorium in Chaterhall 
  and a number of factions have their eyes set on 
  this sparkling prize.
  The plan has been set in motion, one of you has 
  gone and gotten themselves killed, scooped up 
  by the legendary Spirit Wardens for interrogation 
  and experimentation. You have been backed by 
  a powerful organization. They will help you get 
  your crew member out, for a price.
  Hell Breaks Loose
  We begin as the lever is pulled and the juice 
  begins to drain from the ghostly prison your crew 
  member is kept in. As their ghostly moans fill the 
  room you begin to hear it, alarms. Blaring. You’re 
  Blades, you’re prepared for this, but let’s see how 
  many of you make it through the Spirit Wardens 
  net. Don’t die.
