Return to Reinolt

Downtrodden, Jack frowned and left the room. Wanting to drown his new woes in brundy, Jack joined Rydel at the bar.

"Hey, so, what was so important that you couldn't come down sooner?" asked Rydel.

Jack sighed, "It seems I got too excited for nothing…"

"Whatever it was, it seems like it can wait if you're not wanting to talk about it. Anyway, want to fill me in on the plan?"

"I'll give you the gist," answered Jack. "First, we head back to Reinolt and gather up the party. Second, I need to alter my Inheritor's Pact. It should only take me a few days of study and practice, but it has to be done."

Rydel laughed, "Why, so you can take all our EXP instead?"
