Tiny Ptolemos was causing trouble in the Godless Hall. The pygmy Mahjarrat had taken over the keep and locked himself inside with insidious sorcery, refusing admittance and ranting on about nonsense. The order's prominent members were alerted and quickly convened outside the keep to deal with the situation. After a few failed attempts to break inside, they group were able to bargain with the Mahjarrat (he had a sweet tooth after all) to allow them entrance. They quickly disabled Ptolemos and questioned him about his actions.

It turned out that Ptolemos was acting on the orders of his master, the Second Commander Rosaline Haines. Rosaline, using the Shadow Realm to her advantage, surrounded the group with animated suits of armor and barred the exit to prevent any escape. It was made clear by this point that something was very wrong.

Rosaline began her worrying rant by asserting herself as the leading commander of the Godless, ignoring the valid concerns regarding her mental health, and then declared how the order could not survive by continuing to do as they had since the beginning of the Sixth Age. She argued with the group about their accomplishments and pushed for a more proactive approach in the world's affairs, although her vague explanations didn't assuage their worries.

In the end Rosaline promised the group that they would soon understand their place in the order of things to come. Her remarks were understandably troubling and ultimately failed to sway the majority of the group, indicating troublesome times ahead...
