Competition: Tarthos: Criminal Investigation

There have been reports of increasing criminal activity in Markosian City. Although general lawlessness is nothing new, activities have been increasing exponentially.

The Summit suspects that more may be at work behind the scenes, but can do nothing without evidence.
