Chapter 143: Chapter 143

Karl is being stubborn. He's not accepting my apology for 'mauling' him as he put it. I even had to meditate in the beanbag chair alone tonight. But he'll come around eventually, I did heal him after all. Not that I'll point that fact out, it would only make things worse.

Just after breakfast I hear someone approaching from where I'm searching the yard for surviving relics. Karl is downstairs, rebuilding the enchantments on the baths, so I guess I'm up as hostess.

The group of ten stops in the clearing not far from the barrier and sits down. "Sect Master said to sit and wait once we get to this spot. They're expecting us and will come get us eventually."

Good man, he learned his lesson.

They all smell of alchemy herbs, and two wear green acolytes robes, so they're almost certainly the disciples sent to learn pill recipes.

Now, to dress to impress, or remain in my regular black robes? No need to intimidate them, I'll go as is.
