-They take advantage of the time by trying to get a better grasp of the local language and traditions: Clark slums it out in the outside city where he gets to know a little of how the lower-class citizens live, Gaia spends half her time trying to find metalsmiths that would be interested in buying empty cans and the other half trying to get Dream Amanda to teach her some stuff, and Maelle finds herself learning the local epics and visiting scholars where they discovers that these people have access to anagusi books, capable of revolutionizing several fields back in her original timeline.+They take advantage of the time by trying to get a better grasp of the local language and traditions: Clark slums it out in the outside city where he gets to know a little of how the lower-class citizens live, Gaia spends half her time trying to find metalsmiths that would be interested in buying empty cans and the other half trying to get Dream Amanda to teach her some stuff, and Maelle finds themself learning the local epics and visiting scholars where they discovers that these people have access to anagusi books, capable of revolutionizing several fields back in their original timeline.
  
 In the middle of this, [[npc:Ariyadna]] comes to say good bye and explains that she will see them later this month, because that is how the future will be and she has already seen it. This confuses the party a lot. In the middle of this, [[npc:Ariyadna]] comes to say good bye and explains that she will see them later this month, because that is how the future will be and she has already seen it.

 Some days later, the entire city is shocked to learn that there has been a clash between their warriors and [[org:Rigasian Army]]. The party is asked again to appear in front of the court to explain about the rigasian military and tactics, which they are quite happy to do. Some days later, the entire city is shocked to learn that there has been a clash between their warriors and [[org:Rigasian Army]].

-As Mauto nears closer to recovery, Gaia loses the last of her patience and decides they have to go now. She manages to convince the [[place:anagut|anagusi]] woman that they should leave before the rigasians have more time do do damage, and the court agrees, providing small cavalry escort.+As Mauto nears closer to recovery, Gaia loses the last of her patience and decides they have to go now.

-Sadly the situation has become direr than they thought: in a lonely stretch of the river road, they hear gunshots and believe themselves ambushed. They dismount and see two running rigasian soldiers that they shoot, only to discover that they were not running towards them, but from a handful of giant crab-shaped aberrations.+Sadly the situation has become direr than they thought: in a lonely stretch of the river road, they hear gunshots and believe themselves ambushed. They dismount and see two running rigasian soldiers that they shoot, only to discover that they were not running towards them, but from a handful of giant [[mob:hairy crab|crab-shaped aberrations]].
  
-Seeing one of the aberrations start to devour the corpse of one of the soldiers as the [[npc:corporal schidera|other]], incapacitated, screams for help, Gaia shouts to leave, but Maelle refuses to accept yet another death in her head and runs towards the aberration to save the still living soldier. Clark freezes the ground under the aberrations, make two of them slide and fall, but this is not enough to save Maelle.+Seeing one of the aberrations start to devour the corpse of one of the soldiers as the [[npc:corporal schidera|other]], incapacitated, screams for help, Gaia shouts to leave, but Maelle refuses to accept yet another death in their head and runs towards the aberration to save the still living soldier.

 Derek, seeing Maelle running towards the danger, charges too. This greatly upsets Gaia and she jumps to the grassland, being left behind. Derek reaches Maelle and rams the aberration about to kill them. Derek, seeing Maelle running towards the danger, charges too.
