Embers from a Chimney

Although SABR’s last words to Sil had been harsh, it had given him a modicum of peace from her barrage of pranks throughout the night. A shrill scream breaks his reverie, and on discovering its origin, SABR wakens Elbrim. The irrepressible Ownka, now battered, arrives at the tent, on orders to take the Grey Company back to the Sanctuary. Oraqi looks down at each of the holes in the chamber floor, watching the River of Sand speed past; Elbrim says, “It’s safe Callidus, trust me! You should go first, I am sure there is nothing to worry about and those raging currents of sand wouldn’t hurt a fly!” Carnage, cats and yellow dust, tell me, do you wanna know more?
