https://www.buzzsprout.com/719124/2780593-murder-in-mirabar-chapter-3 Lastgate is unconcious, Jamez and Murdermead are down to their last few hit points, and Rosehandle Manor still has yet to give up any clues of substance in the murder of its former master. New forces in Mirabar are soon to enter the web, but are they friend, or foe? The deeper the dwarf investigators go into this tangle, the more confusing, and more dangerous, it becomes. And time continues to slip away for the young suspect. . . .

Clearly they need more than simple healing for their detective leader. A visit to the local temple is in order. Then they must attempt to find further allies as they prepare to sneak out of the dwarven city and into the Rosehandle Mines at the base of the nearby mountains to find further clues. But with a growing list of enemies (and the corpses in their wake starting to pile up) who CAN they truly trust?
