We leave the dungeon and see the woods. The breach remains, but we see the roots around the exit are still. We hear the birds and the forest seems to be a normal forest. We can feel no pulse under our feet. we see fresh animal tracks and the sounds aer not threatening

We leave the forest and can see the mountains n the distance We see a dark rider upon the ridge. It watcche us then slowly turn away over the ridge. The outline looks similar to the figure we saw in th rigging of the ship a while back, but cannot make out any detail. 

We continue back and we start to see Moonrest. Bran counts us back in and is happy to see us.he looks back to the wodds and says the'reve been no root breaches so it looks like something worked. He takes us to the LOng House to see ES to tell her what happened.

Yselle also appears asking for and update. A prods Seb and tells him to show Yselle the heart. Yselle looks at it, Salus hands ove the sketches. She says Merrick's name keeps appearing when questions are assked. A asks if she can help, but Yselle says she works best alone. ES sayas as they roots are no longer being driven it's enough for now. She says we need a good feed and sleep. Garron was also in the long house looking at some of the evidence. He's nore interested in the stone work and will pop into Yselle's to look at the stone work.

A mentions the rider. ES pauses and starts speculating out loud that it could be the compact, or someone pretending to be them/ She sends us to the Tide and Stars where Mara will have a hot meal for us. A says she'll out in a good word for Seb, who again denies being a hero.

The bar is visibly louder, the food is there and the conversation seems normal. Mara welcomes warmly, we relax and Mara gives Seb a pair of spoons and asks him to play. He starts to play as Mara watches. A tells Mara Seb is also very modest about how brave he was. The tavern sings along with Seb and the villagers have a great time. As it gets late folk start to go home ass do we.

The next day passes with no emergency, no roots and no blue pulse. Hunters leave and return. Moonrest seems to have returned to normal

Seb is going to see the tide warded and the Shrine keeper as he's concerned about blacking out in combat and the strange feeling that another person wants to take control. neither feel it's their area of expertise. Lysa may be able to help due to her role with the dead. He also checks how his Hurdy Gurdy is going.
