A voice can be heard, but there is no form to be seen.

[Icemule Trace, South Road]
A narrow house juts into the street, as though pushed off its
foundation by the expanding gaming hall to the southwest. You step
carefully along the cobblestones and try not to glance into the open
window at street level.
Also here: Arimantis
Obvious paths: north, south.

You blink.

You ask, "Did you hear that?"

heads of the crowds. No matter the time of day or night, this stretch of
