>>6156304>“No. She ran away, but not before leaving us to fight whatever stupid thing was trapped inside that orb.”“The Djinn?” Alvin’s one eye opens wide in shock. “Where is it?! Has it escaped?!”
>“No. We killed it.”“...You killed an ancient elder demon that ruled over Morfisian society thousands of years ago? One that possessed vast power, and was only driven to containment by the Sorcerer King himself?”
Was it really that important? You look towards the others in your party for confirmation that that was actually what happened. Cassius and Cuthbert merely offer you a shrug each. Nadia nods, but doesn’t look towards you. She is hard at work trying to collect the blue dust that the Djinn left behind, but is struggling. Adeline meanwhile has somehow gotten stuck in the sand again, her heavy armor causing her to sink.
>“I guess we did. Yeah.”Alvin makes a strange, strangled sound. You have a hard time deciphering just what it is. He collapses to the ground, leaning against the wall, and begins laughing uproariously. He falls over to his side, pounding the floor with one fist as if he’d heard the funniest joke in the world. What a strange man.
>You gained a B-Support with Alvin! (+2 MAG during combat when fighting within 3 tiles of Alvin)Alvin’s laughter ceases when he begins coughing up blood. The man had evidently faced considerable torture while under Margo’s care. It was a wonder that he was even able to walk, let alone find room for mirth.
>“Nadia! Quit playing with the damn dust and heal the man!”As Nadia rushes over to provide first aid to Alvin, she is joined by his men. They make a big deal of pouring over him, offering whatever help they can. You had plenty of questions for Alvin, but they would have to wait until he made a recovery. And he was not the only one.
With the night’s fighting concluded, fatigue begins to set in. You’d been up all night, embroiled in battle against all manner of foe. You were exhausted, and injured at that. A chance for some rest sounded like the most attractive thing in the world to you right now.
>A): Return back to camp and check in on the men you left to guard it.>B): Head back towards the Magic Seal and pick up Elric.>C): Mill about in the Keep and wait for Nadia to finish up with Alvin.>D): Speak with a companion. (Who?)
