The stranger, who had given his “name” as the Still Wind, looks to you. “You there! Come closer! You’ll freeze!”

He shrugged. “Not really. His action prevents me from just fixing things, but also prevents you from fixing things the regular way. He has to be the one to undo it, and I need to help him see it.”

"Huh. So...how do we relate to Death then?"

“That’s the problem. And… it’s not your job to do so. I don’t want to place this burden on your shoulders.”

"Why not? It would give me some purpose, and maybe a little good to do."

She paused for a moment. "What if he passed his power to another?"

Perfect segway

The man paused. “Maybe… maybe it would work, yes. I will ask.”

He nodded. “I simply do not know how you might help. I don’t know how I can help… the Bard’s idea, though…”

She blinked. A Grey One known for his intelligence thought her idea had merit?

Carlom is able to modify the flame thrower into a high-powered torch of sorts. "Come, it is warm"

Um

Dude

You couldn’t take the flamethrower, and right now you don’t have the gear to modify it

Plus, right now, the Still Wind is giving y’all warmth

Anyways,

You feel a presence, curious of you.

You can do so now, if ya want. I know (I think it was him?) Roy wanted to join, and I was thinking of placing him where you are.

You would be in captivity of the Noble soldiers that came to put down the riot.

"Where do we go?"

“That’s a good question. I’ll take you to… Crap. You’ll need support from a faction outside the war, so that’s where I’ll take y’all.”

He waved to the rest of the party. “We ready to head out?”

He tipped his hat, then started the trek.

They arrived at a run down manor; it was obviously still habituated, but in a state of disrepair. “This is where I must leave you.”

He hesitated. “And when you talk to them, tell them what happened to Nikolas. Well - I’ve a myth to forge.”

With that, he disappeared.

Alym looks around. "Well that was cryptic." He turns to the bard. (@Spark of Hope) "Shall we?"

The bard followed, her instruments making noise when they made contact with each other.
