Kleigg suggests that the party departs for Vranhal together to seek greater opportunities.

P’orihc: "If I can learn how to properly cast a fireball in Vranhal, then I'll head there."

"Sounds like we're going to Vranhal.
No time for lamp making?"

Ki’stha: "To travel as a party would be suspicious, wouldn't it? At least without a group disguise or cover story. Perhaps Vranhal needs a shipment of lamps?"

Byrnolf: ”Going alone would be dangerous the road there is teeming with thugs. As for suspicion, it isn’t irregular for people to be moving back and forth between Mead and Vranhal. There isn’t a shipment that needs to go out right now, either. If you’re urgent to leave now, I suppose you can leave your payment for my services as an IOU for now.”

With all the moving about in your hair shirt recently, you've gotten used to it a tiny bit - not an easy feat when it feels like a million needles are poking into your skin with every movement.

John: "I'm not in a hurry to leave, but I don't think it's a good idea to split us all up."

Moving your arm with kinetics, hmm. It doesn’t take much to make them move, applying a bit of force on your bones, but you feel that you’d have to reinforce them enough so large kinetic impulses don’t snap them like twigs. And then you have to figure out how to reinforce the flesh while still allowing the arm to move properly at the joints and where tissue is stretched, else it’ll end up tearing itself apart.

P’orihc: "Let's go together as a group, splitting up always gets someone killed."

Wolf: "Does that involve us?"

Kleigg: "Can one of you give me a mana stone? I want to try something."

P’orihc: "Have mine, but you owe me something."

Kleigg: "I will pay down the line."

Kleigg sets the mana stone on the floor some distance away from him and seems to cast something, but nothing happens.

Byrnolf: ”So you’re a natural negation user, huh?”

The shop owner seems to focus intently on the stone for a moment, and then a nod of his head and it vanishes. He then holds his palm up in front of him, and after a few seconds, a clear speck of glass appears, growing until it reaches the shape of the old mana stone. The stone is then tossed to Kleigg.

Byrnolf: ”It’s a magic substance with some properties of a physical one, and no spell. Negation can destroy spells, but not substances.”

Wolf: "Does that involve us?"

Kleigg: "Can one of you give me a mana stone? I want to try something."

P’orihc: "Have mine, but you owe me something."

He hands you a small, clear pea-sized rock with a slightly bumpy surface.

Kleigg: "I will pay down the line."

You set the mana stone on the floor some distance from you, and then try to nullify it from existence. However, when you try to apply your nullification powers on it, nothing seems to happen.

Byrnolf: ”So you’re a natural negation user, huh?”

The shop owner seems to focus intently on the stone for a moment, and then a nod of his head and it vanishes. You detect a small burst of magic energy where the stone was, which rapidly spreads and disappears amongst the background of minute energy you sense around you. Byrnolf holds his palm up in front of him, and after a few seconds, a clear speck of glass appears, growing until it reaches the shape of the old mana stone. He tosses you the new one and you catch it in your hands.

Byrnolf: ”It’s a magic substance with some properties of a physical one, and no spell. Negation can destroy spells, but not substances.”

Outside the shop, people seem to be quickly moving all in the same direction. One of them knocks on the door of the shop before sticking his head in.

???: ”Hey Byrnolf! The mail guy was on his way to Vranhal and saw a wreck up the road, a good distance past the mines. Bodies and fire, looks like it was an attack.
H-hey, wait for me!”

The man runs off, following the stream of people.

Ki’stha: "More violence? Come on, let's go take a look."

You follow the group while still trying to do the arm thing.

Hmm, well maybe you can just ignore the fleshy parts for now. With some kinetic impulses and fortified bones, you experimentally slam your fist into the ground, the satisfying sound of stone breaking reaching your ears, followed by the pain of having your skin ripped from your knuckles.

Well, at least you can punch things without blowing your arms up.

Once the party heads to the Northern gate of town again, you all see a group of men dragging two damaged wagons into town and several bodies - six of them, all dressed in burnt robes that still have some color left. Three red, two black, one white. The white one still seems to be alive, slowly trudging along with some help, but the others look like charred corpses.

A young man with a messenger bag seems to be answering questions that the surrounding crowd shouts out. Guess he’s the mailman.

Mailman: ”No, it doesn’t look like bandits. Hoof tracks around the site up North, bandits wouldn’t have horses.
Yes, those are burn wounds. There wasn’t any blood, probably attacked by mages.”

The white mage weakly waves an arm and seems to say something. The Mailman crouches beside him, listening.

Mailman: ”Caelum, is what he says.”

The crowd’s shouting gets louder without anything sounding any more clear.
