''The following morning, the group pays a visit to the Hubbatt Corsairs, informing them of Duggar's end, as well as Lord Eshteross's offer of cooperation. Although wary of the wealthy lord, the Corsairs agree to consider the proposal. During the course of the day, Orym opens up a bit more to the group: several years ago, there was a mysterious, sudden attack on his homeland of Zephrah. The assailants seemingly came out of nowhere, and melted into nothingness when killed. Recently, news reached them of a similar attack in Jrusar, witnessed by an individual called Oshad Breshio, also known as "The Anger". Orym wishes to speak with Breshio, hoping to shed some light on these incidents.''

''At the Spire by Fire inn, our heroes are resting from their recent ordeals. Ashton proposes a game of "What the fuck is up with that?", where the group asks each other personal questions. Among other things discussed:''

''- Laudna asks Dorian if he is wealthy. He replies that he is second in line to a prominent family that he loves, but he has set out on his own to fulfill his personal ambitions.''

''- Ashton asks Orym what he and his group are doing in Jrusar. He relucantly reveals that he is looking for leads about an attack that was made on his homeland.''

''- Orym asks F.C.G. about their origins, but as the little automaton tries to answer, they seize up, unable to complete their sentence. After a long pause, they simply state that Dancer created them two years ago.''

''- F.C.G. asks Laudna is she's dead. She explains that thirty years ago, she was a poor farmer in her twenties. When her innate talent for magic became apparent, her parents thought that she might have a better life with the Briarwoods, Whitestone's stewards at the time.
