WHO: Colin, Cyril, Julius, Anders, and Barnabas.
WHAT: Colin's lyrium-dealing has drawn the ire of the Carta. His friends race to save him.
WHEN: Justinian 2
WHERE: Kirkwall
NOTES: TWs for crime, hostage crud, everything to do with the Carta. Subtitle: "Sigh Hard."

You--

Your peddler friend came to the wrong city.

The game is over. The Carta is defending its territory. If you want your boy back, bring 500 sovereigns and his remaining lyrium to Lowtown as reparations for business lost by the Carta in the months he has been in Kirkwall. Not the stash in his store--we got that. Wherever the rest is, bring it to the cul-de-sac off the Blooming Rose in Hightown by dawn. Leave it in the barrel marked with a red X and go. If you linger afterward, you will be shot.

He takes the phylactery with regret on his face.

"Thank you," Anders says despite all of his misgivings about possessing someone else's phylactery. 'Not even once except in certain circumstances' doesn't have the same strength behind it as 'destroy them all' and he feels like they're losing something by using this. But Colin may gain from it, so he carefully pockets the phylactery and nods grimly before they head out.

Tying a nice bow on it.
