The appearance of the Obsidian Serpent members added a layer of complexity to the investigation. The city was on high alert, and the nobility, including Sied and Iodel, were eager to apprehend those responsible for the recent disturbances. Sied, playing his part convincingly, expressed his concern for the safety of the empire and vowed to bring the perpetrators to justice.
The Obsidian Serpent members, unaware of the larger game at play, operated with their typical arrogance and secrecy. They believed their actions would further destabilize the capital and create an opportunity for their own ambitions. Little did they know that they were walking into a carefully orchestrated trap.
Of course, the trap wasn't going to show itself soon. Lyle didn't wish for this to be all, instead of simply letting the idiots who ran the Obsidian Serpent get detained right away, he was actually going to help them.
