- “I think Urspringen was wiped out by the plague or something; nobody seems to have gotten out of there alive. Do you know anyone from Urspringen? I don’t.”

- “The Joy is the one I don’t like. My wife/husband hangs out in little den of sin and then comes back and has the nerve to tell me gossip from that place. Don’t people have morals anymore?”

- “The Reminder is the one I don’t like. It’s bad enough we need all this magic stuff to protect us, that’s demeaning and damning enough—literally!—but actively turning people to perversion like she does? Somebody should do something!”

- "“The Joy is the one I don’t like. My husband hangs out in little den of sin and then comes back and has the nerve to tell me gossip from that place. Don’t people have morals anymore?”

Death Toll and Injuries:
- Nothing serious
- Lyrel has walked off into the sunset with Schmidt and (?) the dwarf, perhaps to never return.

- Olaf will recover in 36 in-game weeks (holy shit) and will be just about conscious enough to eat and drink a little and rest at the end of this in-game week.
I'm going to go with taxidermy halving his chances to die per week but err, even with a 5% chance of dying per week this guy's fucked, sorry Tom.

Actual probability of survival: 1.4*10⁴⁷%

Good thing he's with a necromancer? She did find Animate Dead in a grimoire..
