Sam Brooks and the Case of the Missing Tsdf Weapon

Previously

…Sam nodded, the weight of Nim’s words settling upon him. He looked down at the staff in his hands, no longer just a piece of wood, but a potential conduit. He could feel the faint pulse of the Blade, a distant thrumming that tugged at his awareness. It was a faint trail, yes, but it was a trail nonetheless. And for the first time since the weapon had gone missing, Sam felt a flicker of genuine hope. He would not only find the Blade of Whispers, he would stop Silas Vane. And in doing so, perhaps, he would finally silence the echoes of his own past failures. The hunt had begun.
