As the group scurried through the contents of the chest like children on Christmas morning, Lord Kincep explained the properties of all that was magic. He laid out the purposes and uses for the new items in graphic detail. When finished they began to work together on estimations of the repairs needed in the mansion. The discussion about day labor grew heated and tempers flared. Suddenly a passing shadow drew the attention out over the estate grounds.
Out on the lawn a gryphon carrying a courier had landed. Recognizing right away that courier bared the symbol of the Watchers, Raddick rushed out to meet him. Quite some time had passed before Raddick returned. When he returned the news was urgent.
Raddick informed the group that the Watchers needed them to return to Plum Valley. They are preparing ceremonies for the fallen and their presence was requested.
After clearing up the details of the remodel with Kincep the group took to the lawn. Off in the distance a group of creatures approached in a V-formation. As the Gryphons flew near Fox noticed that one of the creatures could not keep in formation. A larger clumsier Gryphon struggled to keep up with the rest.
"Groth, I think that's yours." Fox chuckled.
