User blog:Stormwell/Thresh Street Runners Case No.10 "The Cursed Charms"

''I also knew a woman from Karnaca who would trade for charms and other bits of whalebone. She cracked them apart and fused them back together, then sold them. I bought one of these corrupted charms that she swore would cause sharp metal to break on my skin, and it worked. But each time it did, one of my teeth turned black and fell out. After the third time, I gave it to one of my men. Now when he smiles, it's all bleeding gums, and I wonder what parts inside him are turning black.''

Shortly after the conclusion of the Sons of the Wrenhaven case the Runners get reports of a series of strange deaths, all of them linked by a charm found on the victim. Though both the Overseers and the Grand Guard from Serkonos are interested in the case and persue their own investigations, though the smugglers from the first case are behind how the charms are in Dunwall.

This would also be where the Runners get properly introduced to Lilika, thinking that she might approach Agnew since he carries the Outsider's mark.
