 | **The Hands escort the PCs to the main house** | Two armed Hands march the restrained PCs through the mist. Pale workers withdraw from the path but do not participate in the escort. The Hands take the PCs through the front entrance and up the wooden staircase to J.W.'s Second-Floor Room. | __Consequence:__ Read **“The Hands bring the PCs before J.W.”** The PCs remain without their confiscated equipment unless they secretly recovered an item before the escort. | | **The Hands escort the PCs to the main house** | Two armed Hands march the restrained PCs through the mist.

 +| **PCs attempt to address nearby Blues during the escort** | Pale workers pause beside the paths or watch from the doorways of their huts. The armed Hands immediately order the prisoners to remain silent and continue moving. | __Mechanic:__ The PCs may make one brief appeal using CHA (Persuasion), WIS (Insight) or a suitable cultural/language probe (DC 14). Mentioning the Nameless Man or clearly identifying J.W. as their common enemy grants Advantage. __Success:__ Set Blues Disposition to Sympathetic. The workers do not intervene immediately, but may assist later according to Scene 6a or Scene 6c. __Failure:__ The workers withdraw and disposition remains **Uncertain**. A threatening appeal changes it to **Alienated**. |
 | **PCs attempt to escape during the march** | The Hands immediately try to drive the prisoners to the ground and call for assistance. | __Mechanic:__ A group STR (Athletics), DEX (Acrobatics) or appropriate coordinated-action probe (DC 16). PCs who secretly freed their restraints gain Advantage. __Success:__ The PCs break away; proceed to Scene 6a with an **Active Search** underway. __Failure:__ The Hands subdue them, inflicting appropriate blunt-force damage or exhaustion, and continue the escort. | | **PCs attempt to escape during the march** | The Hands immediately try to drive the prisoners to the ground and call for assistance. | __Mechanic:__ A group STR (Athletics), DEX (Acrobatics) or appropriate coordinated-action probe (DC 16).

 | **J.W. questions the PCs** | J.W. asks why they entered his territory and what they know about his operation. He listens more carefully than he speaks. | __Consequence:__ Allow a brief exchange and no more than two substantial questions from the PCs. J.W. may acknowledge the attack on the OfSO, the Nameless Man, the illegal pelt trade or the Blues, but he does not expose his entire network. Useful revelations should agree with the established case resolution and linked character articles. | | **J.W. questions the PCs** | J.W. asks why they entered his territory and what they know about his operation.

   * **Failure Should Create Pressure Before Finality:** Give the PCs several clear opportunities: escape the restraints, manipulate the door, ambush the returning Hands, break away during the escort or act during the audience. Only the final failed transfer should threaten an irreversible campaign failure.   * **Failure Should Create Pressure Before Finality:** Give the PCs several clear opportunities: escape the restraints, manipulate the door, ambush the returning Hands, break away during the escort or act during the audience.

   * **Blues Assistance Remains Limited:** A Sympathetic Blue may provide one discreet advantage, but cannot simply open the cell, return every weapon or escort the PCs safely through the compound. Open defiance would endanger the worker and attract the Hands. Carry the resulting Blues Disposition into Scene 6a or the following escape scene.   * **Blues Assistance Remains Limited:** A Sympathetic Blue may provide one discreet advantage, but cannot simply open the cell, return every weapon or escort the PCs safely through the compound.
