  88. Sohl tilts Flair's head back, ignoring the priest's tears. "Now that wasn't so bad, was it?" he soothes as he reaches out and puts two fingers inside the blackened, smouldering hole that was once his eye. His fingers root probe deftly for a moment before coming out, a piece of charred flesh stuck to his index finger.
  89.  
  90. Sohl says with an urbane accent, "No worms that I can find."

  95.  
  96. Sohl says with an urbane accent, "Mmm, bacon."
  97.  
  98. Amunet gestures toward the charred mass in the centre of the floor before turning her attention back to the Prophet.
  99.  
  100. Sohl says with an urbane accent, "I'm sure this establishment has people for that."
  101.  
  102. Prophet of Babel, Flair Ze'Dekiah says to Amunet, "Not the green. Just leave it like this."

  135.  
  136. Amunet closes her eyes, her brow knit in concentration as she grips the wand with a white-knuckled grip. Slowly, the emerald near its centre takes on a soft, viridian incandescence.
