The Severed Hand
In the light of this omen, everyone present believes that, for at least the next seven days, Ug's mother will live.
Aeri almost leaves that same night to fly to Kuldahar, but is exhausted from her rapid flight across the Dale. She insists, however, that she will leave first thing in the morning.
"Hey." Al walks up to Vincent. "That was quite the development, you dropping out of those rifts like that." She passes her glaive from her right hand to her left, then offers her hand to shake. "I'm Alalla." She points out everyone else and introduces them, too. "Sorry we've been basically ignoring you. It's been a bit... busy, as I'm sure you've gathered."
Ug begins making turnip soufflés for the team as they each wake up. One large one in the shape of a dragon for Ras and Aeri to share, another large one in the shape of a heart for Al and Eva, one in the shape of an angry kitty (it was the best impression of Halla he could do) for Zenni, and a burnt black one for Vincent that Ug was proud of, the man seemed to like black.
Ug offers a plate to Al, "Al says she hasn’t saved anyone? Then let us go save someone!" he says with a challenging grin.
After learning the names of Fergy and Uncle Oswald, Vincent takes out a sheaf of parchment for both, and using his calligraphy set, he draws their names in fancy script. With a quick spell both pieces of parchment go up in bright flames. Breathing in a bit of the smoke Vincent exhales and just mutters two simple words as prayer, "Guide them."
"If you're to travel with us, there are some things you should know." Alalla proceeds to give a brief summary of the enemies they had faced so far, and their plots and alliances as far as the party knows them.
"As you can see we have faced intrigues and will likely face many more. So I'll be watching you closely. If you're truthful and don't deserve it, I apologize in advance. Your skill really will be a great help." Al gives a professional nod and turns to go.
