Charity arrives at a coaching inn about 12 miles outside the city at about 5 pm. needing to rest her horse she stops for a few hours before continuing her journey.
By the time she reaches the city it is dark, a cloudless night lit only by the moon. Tirna Ng'th is clearly visible adjacent to the Kolvir peak. The gates to the East tunnel are locked. Figures come a go up the East Stair.

Amber 17 Savich 5 PPF

Charity rides out the 13^thHour intrusion about a mile from the gates before scaling the cliffs. A few hours watching and some sculking bring her up the East stair to the castle courtyard.
Not wanting to risk an entry that might alert the guards she decides to return to Nancheng.

Alfred and Sorcha wait out the 13^thHour intrusion in the cellar and kitchen respectively. Movement outside the kitchen doors indicate that demons are active and searching for something.
The rest of the night passes peacefully.
Suspicious that the demons are tracking them they spend most of the rest of the day tracking down a temple that will lend them a room for their religous activities as disciples of the 16^thHour. Shorty before the next intrusion of the 13^thHour they find one and set about their rites. As the world changes they find a demon already in their shrine and a fight ensues. Alfred get wounded again, and Sorcha kills the demon and then a couple of minutes later the second one that breaks down the bamboo screens.

At the end of the hour they make their way back to the inn to find Charity waiting for them. They catch up on happenings. Charity then does some scrying on Amber trying to get a better feel for the castle but interference means she has to give up. She examines the town and the lighthouse. As she's about to give up scrying she spots a ship heading up the Amber coast and trys to get a look but somebody throws a pattern at her and she loses the picture. After updating the others on what she saw they retire for the night.
