Maron joined them not much later though she didn't order anything, having already had breakfast in her room. She had sent away Amelia to find out what the commotion was about.

"Yes, indeed", Gulston replied, "There are many things to discuss at this point, however. What do you have in mind?"

Missy came down running after Maron. She was still chewing the last of her breakfast.
"Shorry 'm rhate!" She stopped talking for just enough time to stop spewing food on the floor and swallow, "sorry I'm late, but this food is deliciiiiious! Anyway, what are you talking about? Are telling stories? I love stories!"

"How long 'till we get there?"
"It will require about an hour." the captain replied, as the boat continued onwards.
Since Amanda grew tired of reading, she went into the deck of the ship to find something to eat. All she found were potatoes, for some unknown reason.

- What we - Zayl again reffered to him and Gulston - found that the port town was burned to the ground by it's own citizens.- Zayl paused as he ate a spoonful of buckwheat porridge with bacon bits in it. - Since we haven't found any traces of violence. No corpses in the town either. Not as much as blood stains. Then, as the town was in flames, the populous of the town went into the sea to drown themselves.
Zayl paused again to eat some of his meal.
- We found some bodies washed ashore. No signs of violence, no signs of struggle or resistance. We have concluded that the deed was carried out by a powerful coven of soulmancers. We. - Zayl now referred to himself - Have been in this world for a long time, we have seen a lot of things. But never a such demonstration of power. Power of such a particulary difficult branch of magic to master. Not to mention frowned upon by the colleges. We think that our dear king, may have bitten more than he could chew.

With the help of Svartalf, and a bit of persuasion, Titus managed to reserve a room in a barn to place a shrine for Avalaya, as per the Hestan rite.
Beside the shrine he was also given a small bedroll, courtesy of the owner.
A few people came from time to time to seek his counsel, or to pray in the foreign use.
One morning, though, after his prayers at dawn, he heard some rustling outside, he initially dismissed it for the noise made by the farmers, and started to meditate.
Some hours later he heard more noises, and suddenly a group barged in to get some tools, as he could discern by the clanking of metal, then left with haste as if there was an emergency, interrupting the meditations of the fifth day.
The priest, alarmed by this sudden rabble headed out of the barn fearing that some accident happened to the farmers.
He saw them running, he saw someone handling pitchforks and torches.
At this point Titus decided to head for the keep at once, so as to see the situation.
And indeed, there was quite the commotion, a crowd assembled towards the keep, the peasantry seemed angry about something.
He looked around for answers, and as he saw, he wanb't the only one trying to understand this.

Lucy lay in bed her eyes affixed on the ceiling. Her head was throbbing and the commotion outside was making it so much worse. Well, she would have to figure out what was going on at some point.
She winced as she stood up and stumbled to the door. She made her way to the crowd. All riotous and putrid it was a slovenly glory.
"One town gone and the commoners are up in flames, Karstonians certainly are tetchy. Oh, hey, wait a second that man has two heads."
She hit her head and pouted painfully. She wandered the crowd trying to find out anything about what was going on. She was brought to an abrupt halt when she slammed into Titus. Putting her hand on her head and grimacing in pain she asked him, "Priest what is going on?"

"I wish I understood what in Avalaya's name is happenning here, this folk can't decide what they are actually this angry for, some are muttering the name of Connin, some talk about a crime made by a guard and some even are screaming of the utterdark.
Well... I'd wager it's a case of group psychosis."
Titus said, then saw Lucy's pain, then said
"Oh, I'm sorry, let me ease your pain."
He hovered his hand on Lucy's head.
"Done, you should feel better now."

Frustratingly eating fish she found in cans and potatoes, Amanda spat out a fish bone.
From the deck, someone was shouting: "Incoming enemies!" Amanda went on the deck, where everyone saw a ship belonging to armies of Mebrua.
As the sailors prepared their cannons, everyone prepared their weapons. A loud sound was emitted, as the canons were fired. Out of five, two of the cannons hit the enemy ship. The Karston ship turned around and sailed towards the enemy ship.
"Incoming!" the sailors ran around, as flaming arrows were shot onto the Karston ship. It was not long the fire was put out by the ocean water.
"Then I make my move!" Amanda waved her left hand and launched a fire ball, which blew away a small part of the enemy forces from the ship. In a few minutes, after more flaming arrows were fired from the enemy ship and killed some of the sailors, both ships sailed to each other; planks were placed for both forces to start the naval battle.
Meburan soldiers waved their rapiers and scimitars to attack, though Amanda conjured a small wave and sweeps them away, into the ocean. Kartson sailors defended their ship and moved to the enemy one. Just as Amanda is to make her next move, a Meburan soldier shoots an arrow and hits her left arm.
"Argh!" Amanda felt a sharp pain, as the archer shoots another arrow and targets her head.

"Or maybe he took the bait", Gulston said, "Y'know, I've thought about it -the attack- and so far I cannot see how Mebruans could strike so quickly. Surely you must know, given how slowly the news spread, that the declaration of war must have reached the other side fairly recently. Organizing a soulmancer coven is no easy task, and definitely not something that one does in a day. I assume they arrived from the sea, blended in with the soldiers, took their positions and then attacked. This kind of operation takes weeks to execute at best; transporting them is another thing altogether. Either Mebruans had this war planned out from the beginning, or you might be correct - king Paret snapped and attacked a far stronger opponent."

"Thank you", she said rubbing her head relieved at the cessation of the pain.
"With commoners like this I imagine some external force must have started the psychotic episode. It could be the Mebruans, well, if indeed they are responsible for Connin's burning.", she pondered to Titus.

"I wouldn't exclude that, after all the folk on this island may be pretty susceptible to such a manipulation, if they actually would follow the light they would have some protection from this kind of magic...
Though I can't really put my hand on it, I don't see the signs of manipulation, unless there is actually a way to mask this magic. Which would explain why no one saw this coming."
Titus said as he was trying to piece together the events.
Then continued:
"I don't know what happened in Connin though, so I can't really be certain of this."

Gulston just shrugged and ordered ale.
"The two of us", he gestured at Zayl and himself, "will be heading for the Keep to report our findings, you could come with us if you so desire."

"It may have happened too, I'm just throwing rocks in the water, even though someone talking about seeing darkness is pretty strange." Titus paused, then asked "Do you happen to know someone who could help us discern what caused this?"

"None that I know are alive. Although, there were these two unobservant men that somehow managed to convince the citadel guard that they would be better candidates for searching the ruins of Connin then the King's own men. If they return we might be able to get something off of them. Well, if they even notice us anyway", she said shrugging.

Just as the arrow flies towards Amanda, she casts Frozen Barrier, which conjures an icy wall and stops the arrow. Amanda casts another fireball, which causes the archer on the enemy ship to be blasted away, into the sea. Amanda, however, holds onto her right arm before a healer takes the arrow out and cures the wound.
The sailors clash with the Mebruan forces. Amanda's captain also casts spells to make illusions of himself before going into attack. The enemy slashes the illusions before realizing they have been attacking thin air. Amanda casts a final fireball before the remaining forces surrender.
"Uh, finally, it took them long enough to find brains to surrender." Amanda sits down, being exhausted by this battle, for she never has casted this many spells, nor did she participate in such a large battle. The sailors disarm and tie up the enemy soldiers. The enemy cargo held mostly equipment, though there was also food. Amanda was also glad to see meat and other vegetables, which were placed inside the barrels.
The captain turns to the captured enemy soldiers. "You must be aware that you will be taken to our prisons and will be interrogated."
The enemy soldiers shout out, while one spits out. "The damage has been done. We know what happened to your precious Karston town. Mebruan armies shall prevail!"
The captain was not impressed by their shouting. "A lot of things can be cleared out if you tell us more about the attackers."
Mebruan soldiers do not listen to the captain and continue rambling. Tired of them, the sailors shush them and silence them by placing scarves around their mouths, then tied them around the ship. With the matter settled, a part of the soldiers took control of the enemy ship.
"Curious. How did we manage to bump into them? This should be Karston territory." Amanda noted, asking the captain.
"It should. But in times of war, everyone likes to play dirty. I suspect the Mebruan armies wanted to cut off the supply line from Vint Rock. I also think the lands to the south also remain isolated, if the Haaz haven't attacked them yet."
