A New Directive, Some New Friends

The day was supposed to be a special day. The day of the new clocks unveiling. However, this day was not as it seems.
 
Near closing time for the festival a companion entered. He warned me of the danger the Denimene brothers were facing. He believes that the Governor will be manipulating the brothers of their new knowledge; their new power. I was tasked with protecting the brothers, though I do not have much to go on.
 
Soon after a goliath entered the library. Strange, she was asking questions about her race. I tried to fill her in the best I could. I find it odd that she doesn't know much about her own people. Though I must admit, my own knowledge is limited. I had never met a goliath before! However, this was only the beginning! She seemed to be interested in employment though her interview did not go very well. She let some teenagers run towards the exit with a book! Not a great first day... However, her curiosity on a variety of topics is refreshing. She instantly took an interest to the book that was recovered, a book on explosives. Naturally I helped her understand the uses for construction and deconstruction purposes. She would be a good student. I am not sure if she will make for a good assistant yet, though she likely can be no worse than my current assistant, Gabi Penrose. A kenku came in as well, though this creature was asking about transmutation. I of course told it everything one would need to know about transmutation. She began studying right away! I am sure they would make for a great pupil.
 
The goliath, who I later learned is name Aster has an amazing desire for knowledge. She asked me about a being who 'always casts a shadow' since she had seen someone cast two shadows! How curious! I cannot recall where I have heard of this before but I need to do some more research on this.
 
Aster, Kenku, and I left for the town square to protect the brothers. I had a bad feeling about this...
 
After some interesting piano playing at the square I noticed a group of people begin chasing Albert. I tried my hardest but I could not keep up. I hope he is okay. This failure would be unbecoming of a new Silver Sentinel. After losing Albert's trail, I circled back to warn Robert. He then led us to Albert's lab. We discovered a red hand outline on his door. This is not a good sing.
 
The Order of the Red Hand is an underground anarchist society. They are never up to any good.
 
During our rescue attempt I met some new people. There was Gwen, a dwarf who wields a large hammer and there was Armando who seemed a bit too winded for just running for a bit. They were accompanying Cas, a strange being who I have had difficulty getting a read on. How curios.
