Vinoh is stunned. Two of his comrades had now vanished without a trace! If this keeps up, this would be his shortest quest yet! However, now that the good Father was healed, the mind mage released his mental hold on him.
"Well, Father Quadrial, I think you shall be alright now. You might feel a tingling sensation at the back of your neck, which is caused by the sudden influx of nervous response. Of course, you'll still feel some residual pain from having your arm broken and reset, but it's better than the alternative, no?"
Seeing that the crisis had been averted, Vinoh stares off into the distance, pensive. What could have happened to Evenyth and Darghon? The former seemed to have been killed by the roc, while the latter disappeared after using his nascent psychic powers... Most peculiar... The mind mage sincerely hopes that his were-dragon friend would be alright, since brave hearts are hard to find these days. Then, remembering Darghon's last words, Vinoh turns to Gell, with an appraising glint in his eyes.
"So Gell, it seems our kill has yielded a great many "shiny rocks." Why don't you show us what we've gained here, so we can be sure all that trouble wasn't for nothing!"
