The quest begins shortly after the beginning of the chapter when the player crash-lands near Tien's Landing. After crossing to the other side of a covered bridge, players are attacked by a veiled woman dressed in black, who observed them in Two Rivers after the attack and who believes them to be minions of Death's Hand. After the player defeats the woman in black, she concedes that her assumption was probably mistaken, saying that "Death's Hand would view such ability outside his assassins as... dangerous". She then retreats, but says that it is possible the player will meet her again.
