Aesthir says his farewells to the monks and Protector Ognas Dreardan then he makes his way to where the funerary pyres had burned. He offers his prayers and leaves his offering of golden dust on a large round rock. It feels both good and right. He has a small sad smile as he rides away with Sergeant Kalvin and the Rofirein knights escorting them and the stones back to Fort Vehl.
Upon arrival at Fort Vehl they are greeted by Captain Andrew and several guards. The stones are taken into custody. Aesthir’s full report is received and he is promptly waived away, dismissed by the Captain without as much as a “good job.”
Several hours later Aesthir chuckles as he hears of the Captain’s anger after inspection of the stones by mages revealed that they were dead and nothing special. He fully expected to be blamed for this and receive another crappy assignment… but it would be more than worth it.

Soon after the bell tolls midnight, the Orc bouncer grabs the ankles of the now passed out Gimpy and Mangus and drags them out the doorway into the alley. They are promptly deposited near some barrels of trash, surprised stray cats fleeing in all directions.

Soon after Vincent’s mysterious visitor had left he picks up the silver ball and heads to the campfire in the clearing near the inn. He sits for quite some time and does not even look up as the woman silently sits next him. He does not even need to look up… he knows it is Dalianavera…
//Mix, when you have some free time later, let me know… I need about 30 minutes in game with you to wrap up this quest. No other participants are required. Apologies for the delay.
