Murphy's return to Transia this time was very urgent.
The battle at Blood Flag Highlands is still ongoing, and who knows if some sly ghosts will deliberately gather points to summon him, the main NPC, for some action.
Even though he set his support score quite high to avoid embarrassment, accidents always happen, so Murphy felt it was best not to delay too long.
After concluding his meeting with Milian, Murphy intended to find Triss, but discovered that the Blood Vulture Duke was still conversing with the two Goat Men he brought back, likely discussing some of the Blood Vulture Duke's "youthful" black history. So, the cautious Murphy opted not to disturb his girlfriend to avoid angering Triss, instead heading down to the very bottom of the corridor.
In the passage outside the collapsed Holy Blood Hall, he saw a bizarre engineering device in operation, and the Steam Puppet Jasmine, whom he met last time, was standing by the device, bored on guard duty.
