A Quest to Save Lives, Part 1

However, the number of burn wounds and concussions among our raid members had increased significantly so that it became harder to convince Mistress Lorelai to follow through with my plan to destroy the maenads—even with my lie about using Star-Spangled Sight—because she was concerned our manpower wasn't strong enough to challenge a horde of frenzied maenads.
