Balthis. It seems they're trying to build something. With all this Iron Veil activity there's few resources to commit to finding the Clockwork Cabal.

A new day dawns and we receive a carrier message to meet Pip at the old market. Once we arrive, it appears to be a normal house on a back path. We see Pip as well as Lady Onna. Pip and his team were able to translate the message. It discloses the meeting location in Rumas, the southern Sun Moon District for the Iron Veil. Pip asks us to infiltrate the headquarters of the Iron Veil. The building belongs to a relative of Egle Adydan who no longer lives there. Adydan is making use of the building for coordinating with the Iron Veil. We take a moment to strategize and come up with a plan. The plan is to use Pass Without Trace and Wild Shape's Spider Form with Nyx to infiltrate the manor. Luna will need the assistance of Icrus's Bat Familiar to use Guidance while Luna searches. We arrive from the west, walking along the canal. Luna begins by scouting the areas, seeing through Nyx's eyes. Nyx sees a small gap on the interior doors that Luna can exploit as a small spider. Luna makes the attempt by herself.

Luna starts by casting Pass Without Trace. Luna then transforms into a tiny spider and has Nyx carry her to the south end of the manor. Nyx drops Luna off and Luna sneaks through the manor window then under the door to the office. Then, as a spider Luna investigates a bookcase, dresser, and desk discovering a book, a ledger, and several letters. Luna quickly drops her spider form, grabs what evidence she can find, and transforms back into a spider and makes her escape.

Upon investigating the letters (half a very very low quality paper), these are copies of sent letters. We have 5 sets of these letters, sent and received. One correspondence is between Adydan and someone unnamed turning down a request. The only name mentioned here is Wladyslaw Spytek. Another correspondence is between Adydan and Tomislaw Gostka.
