[Old Dynaash] The Hound of Sintra

He'd not intended to be idle while those responsible for the attack on Egilrun had gone unpunished, as far as could be told. Few punishments were sufficient when it came to the crime committed.
Woe knew that Webspinners had been involved, and so sought out the traces of them, the last vestiges of their organizational base that he'd encountered. That was in a series of small caverns in Old Dynaash. Fleaface thought he had Woe at a disadvantage, being immune to his Ignorance domain, but he forgot that he wasn't the only one with operational knowledge of the other. Woe knew the dog-faced Fargis as well as anyone could. He doubted that Scalvoris' Albarecht had the resources to track an international villain, who transcended national borders and could slip through unnoticed, and unaccounted for.
So Woe pursued the hunch, and that was most of what it was, in Egilrun. There were smuggler's caches found scattered throughout the woods west of Egilrun. A perfect place to hide forces for an attack by land, while the Pirates encroached from the sea. Woe had long suspected that there were more than just pirates involved in the attacks. There were just too many unanswered questions for it to be so neatly tied to one crew, let alone one class of villain.
He knew the Webspinners were involved, as much as he could know anything. And now he was onwards, to the search for justice against a portion of those villainous scoundrels.
Soz flew over the familiar cavern where he'd found Lacrima. It was just one of many in the hills of Old Dynaash. In time, Woe would search more of them for signs of the Webspinner presence. Soz landed at a flat part of the hills, on the soft grass. It was presently dusk, and the dragonling was comfortably curling up to bask in the darkness for a moment as Woe climbed off of her riding gear.
His eyes searched the gloom effortlessly for signs of any sort of assage. He soon found something that stood out. Rather than the usual scattered and well hidden tracks that delineated the passage of Webspinner agents, Woe found more regimented movements. As if troops had passed through there, recently.
