Episode 8: Night of Ruin

What has come before
A gala celebrating the new “Eye of Kilquato” exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art ended in screams, blood, and destruction as a group of would-be thieves used the event as a cover to steal rare Egyptian artifacts. The Wardens, who were the guests-of-honor at the event, managed to stop the heist. They killed all but one of the attackers in a brutal gunfight that saw numerous Egyptian artifacts damaged or destroyed.
The Wardens have quickly gone over the fallen thieves and found no identification, though they did find lock picks, crowbars and other tools of their nefarious trade. Alistair Sebastian Cadwalader Martindrake III did find one item of note in the pocket of the gang’s leader: a gold figurine of a goat. The figurine is well-worn, with many of its finer details smoothed away by constant handling.
The gala goers, shocked by the gunfight unfolding nearby, are fleeing the museum. The Met’s guard staff is completely overwhelmed by the panic and ensuing stampede. Distant police sirens can be heard through the broken skylight, but the Egyptian wing itself is eerily quiet in the aftermath of the gunfight...
