Chapter 43: Proficiency and Spells (P2)

"Of course not, you never plan anything!"

"It was just one of those in the moment kind of things y'know?"

I wasn't supposed to take up the mantle of leadership in Carbina. What I was supposed to do was get out of Carbina once the route to Aste was open, I was meant to get out with as many rewards and riches as I could carry too. There is a general goal that drew us to the centre of this March.

"How do you even know there are people after us? How do you know the Synagogue hasn't dismissed that Diviners claims?"
