Halcyone sends a swarm down through the locked doors and out the tunnel. The tunnel comes out after just a dozen yards or so, on a street behind a market.
Does Halcyone have skills to analyze recent movement through the tunnel?

Vassarious is shown the stone melders. He notices some bugs in the room, and is pretty sure they belong to Halcyone.
The artifacts include
- lots of light stones
- Several instances of a device that blocks stone melders from melding into stone, when properly set up... which they don't know how to do
- Stone cubes the stone melders used to move heavy objects (the stones moved themselves)
- Stone scrying tables. No one here knows how to use them, nor exactly what they are for.
- Keys that are magically matched to locks
The guards are a specific subgroup of the grand order, and they're all Ice Orcs. Most of them are hunters on the side, or provide cooling services to keep meat fresh.
