Turn 46 - The Importance of Regular SleepGronok decides that it's probably time to leave this filthy, terrible hole of a town. He heads out to the southeast, hoping to get to someplace better than this. With Onon in tow, they head out to assuredly great adventure, leaving the terrible town behind and heading for new and promising horizons.
The trip is rather uneventful, though going direct southeast does mean he needs to trudge through the woods. Rather unpleasant, that, but he and Onon both make rather good progress. And they don't even run into ravenous bears, sociable apes or anything of that sort. Must be because it's daytime.
However, soon enough the sleepless night of tireless walking catches up with Gronok, who feels like his legs are made of lead and his eyes are barely capable of staying open. Dear gods, one should not avoid sleeping nights at his age. And it's in the middle of the woods, no less. Good times.

Phiali taps the well's mechanism again in the same way, listening for what exactly might be the problem there, aside from the obvious evil spirits dwelling within.
He gets the feeling that it might be the mechanism (possibly composed of some manner of possessed gears) that's moving slightly. How it is moving or what exactly is it doing, it is quite difficult to say. He'd probably have to dismantle the thing to perform a proper exorcism or even a demonic diagnosis.

Lars bids the helpful band of strangers farewell and heads toward Kilnipom, getting there within three hours or so.
Kilnipom is a quaint little town, with dismal hovels of wood built in an unnecessarily slum-like fashion covering most of the landscape. However, their terrible state is made all the worse by the bright white, austerely constructed marble temple towering over the nearby area. As in, it's five stories tall rather than the one to two stories that most of the other structures possess. Certainly looks like a wretched hive of ignorance and darkness to Lars. Optimum prophecy ground, one might say.
