To Lady Laurana, While investigating a disturbance by Cove, my companions and I discovered a strange group of savage beings.

Re: The wanderer and the ogre 'magic' pt.2
Eggs? He had ‘borrowed’ pickled eggs? Valonia stared at the jar for a moment, then stared at Desmond. “Virtue stones… I see,” she said carefully, wondering if she was enabling him by giving eggs more serious thought than they deserved. “Well. I cannot accept this. I am not the Avatar, and do not asp...
