I didn't expect the legendary Consultant to be so... young.

But the supplies that you promised the people here, to get me out of that jam—do you really have so much food and Oriron in stock?

Maybe? I've stocked up a bit over the years. Not sure if it's enough, though... maybe I should get a head start on picking up the firework pieces...

The clothes on your back are all wet.

Really? Well, I guess it's a hot day today.

Pohl, were you... scared?

Well...

(Of course I was scared!)

(Did you see how many men they had? And how many blades? They could have eaten me for dinner if they meant it!)

(What was I supposed to do? I just wanted to get everybody together and make our lives a little better. How was I supposed to know that things would turn out like this?)

I didn't sign up to become the Consultant!

Calm down, calm down! We're safe.

...You heard that?

What?

Djaj can read minds, can't they? Did you...?

It's okay, I didn't peek! Why does everyone think we can do that?

It's true that I'm a little more sensitive to people's fear... but it's very demanding Arts! And do you think I really want to hear what other people are thinking?

I guess you're right... it's not exactly pleasant stuff you would see in Kazdel.

Anyway, did you get what you needed?

Yeah. It's perfect. Look!

It's so small. But it does look unique.

It was surrounded by Oriron. That's why the detector didn't react.

Well, you got what you came for, didn't you?

No, I'm just getting started.

Ermi... my Lich friend says there's at least four or five more pieces in the city, and I have no idea where to find them. I was planning on asking someone well-connected...

But who's better connected in these parts than you? You must know something, right <i>Consultant?</i>

I have a rough idea where some of the pieces might have fallen, but I can't be sure whether they'll have revenants in them or not.

It's a start! Better than stumbling around the city trying my luck!

If you help me find the remaining pieces, I'll ask the lazy Liches to reimburse the food and Oriron you're handing out!

Well, food might be a little difficult, but Oriron shouldn't be a problem. There's always parts coming off the Furnace during maintenance!

Well, I guess I couldn't do worse...

Hey, stop tugging on my sleeve!

I'll take that as a yes! A little stroll would do you some good, given how stressed you are.

Who said I was stressed?

Did you forget I'm a Djall?

You said you didn't look!
