Right now, trust has to be a choice, and the earning of it will follow…I was at Thjazi’s side at the very end of the Falconer’s Rebellion and I remember everything very clearly as to how that all went down.

    • 01:20:15 Occtis has been lying on the ground this entire time
    • 01:22:14 Aranessa:“…so all of this reeks of a gambit.

    INTERMISSION

    Kattigan, you’ve got Wulfric sniffing out in the rain in the early morning light. The main road that diverges out from the Dvalmar Pass you know doesn’t lead to Gormalay; it doesn’t lead to the Kingdom of Timmony. You would be looking for two different roads or highways that go north. One of them is The Pilgrim’s Road (an ancient dwarven road passing over mountains to some holy sites largely abandoned since the Goddess of the Forge was defeated). Then there’s The King’s Highway (the main road that leads to Timmon’s Rock, the capital city; the fastest route), or there is The Dahapshanee Wood (a cold climate rain forest dappled with conifers; cool, misty and rainy all the time)

    • 05:05:35 Sir Julian is suspicious of the new undead wizard
    • 05:07:30 Aranessa:“There is a fight waiting for you. It’s waiting for me, too. Shadows lengthen. They surround us all. The doors to Faerie have closed. Step by step, wound by wound, we are made less. I will not have it. They have counted on our acquiescence, our kindness, which they see as weakness, but no one in the wide world has counted on what we have all just seen here. If there are answers, we will find them. I know you saw something on the other side. Please, Occtis, however you can, tell us what you saw. Perhaps the fate of this city, our houses, and this world depends on it.”

    INTERMISSION

    We return to the city of Dol-Makjar to the drawing room of Halandil Fang. Where you (Hal) sit (Liar’s Blade at your side), Thimble, Teor, Kattigan, the now itinerant Wicander and Tyranny have all headed off under the stewardship of Azune to the Falcon’s Rest (there to pursue Casimir or Teor’s brother Cyd).
    You bade farewell earlier to Occtis who traveled off with Julian Davinos and Thaisha has just run off after him to make sure he’s okay.
    Hal, it is currently just you and Murray in your home (Shadia is out with some friends) and you have a letter in your hand that Thimble gave to you, which was supposed to make its way to Murray.
    Murray, here in this place, you have no idea what is transpiring across the river. It’s a pretty chill night. Things have finally calmed down.
    [Hal] The letter that Thimble gave to you (that you now hand to Murray), the envelope just says “Bolaire” on it.
    Murray, do you open the envelope?

    • 03:08:50 Shadia returns from juggling practice and shows Hal a list of performances including …some very old stories that weren’t allowed to be told under the dominion of the god of war…“I think Bolan D’Varstrey is great…there’s Lugzub Kettlehelm…”
