* [[Dowser Maline]]

[[Winsting Innate]] prepares to auction off his senate vote to various crime lords and nobles in [[Elendel]]. The ostensible item for sale is his latest painting. After an introductory speech, he begins to mingle. His bodyguard [[Flog]] follows nearby. Winsting is quite disappointed that [[Edwarn Ladrian]] is not there. He is approached first by a smuggler named [[Dowser Maline]], who is accompanied by a tall, slender [[Paalm|woman]] with short golden hair. After the conversation, Winsting identifies the woman as a spy--possibly from the constabulary--to his bodyguard Flog and orders her watched. He continues to mingle for the next hour, but then a gunshot rings out, with several more quickly following from different parts of the room. Flog drags him out and takes him to his saferoom. No one is certain who started the gunfight, but Flog decides to go back up to the room to investigate. Winsting locks the door from the inside after he leaves. Eventually Flog returns, and Winsting lets him in. He tells them that everyone upstairs is dead. As Winsting considers what to do, someone grabs his hair and slits his throat.
