Gallus actually smiled briefly. "Hmph, lucky you were taking those disease resistance potions," he commented without elaborating.

With the scent of his allies on the wind, Gallus was reassured enough to relax a little. He and Hiritus might exchange some small-talk, but there was little more of use that Gallus felt as though he could uncover. The temptation to infiltrate and find out more about the planned culling was tempting, although Gallus had not decided how to proceed just yet. He figured that he could leave his decision until they made camp for the night. At any rate, taking the first watch would be the ideal time to put Hiritus down.

Meanwhile, back at the Orcrest clanhome, the regular crowds were dispersing back to their duties after lunch. Fendros, having something on his mind, sought out Jo'rashaad, the mage and father that they rescued from captivity. Fendros had Rhazii in tow as Ahnasha was out trailing Gallus with Meesei and the others that went along.

Fendros managed to catch Jo'rashaad before he left the dining chamber. He waved the man down and greeted him. "Jo'rashaad, it is good to see you. Do you have a moment to talk?" Fendros asked with a neutral look.

Rhazii looked up at Jo'rashaad curiously as he held onto Fendros' hand. He didn't say anything just yet.
