	Carmen is a bit of an enigmatic character. In many ways so was everyone else. He would never have expected to be in dire conflict at one moment, and the next it comes to a halt. Perhaps at the time everyone had an epiphany on what exactly was happening. Gathering the wounded, and the red stripes doing the same, the two groups split off, but Osric felt this would not be the last time they’d encounter them. The question remained on how much of a negative reputation this would bring to the party during their search within the Tetragor borders.

	The ride to the next camp site, or at least the next clearing to rest was done in relative silence. Osric was curious to know what Carmen had discovered, but his listless gaze deep in thought put him off from asking directly. Instead, he decided to see what he could do if anything for Lynx. That was until she encased herself in ice. Osric’s first thought was to pick at the ice. How could she possibly breathe in there, but as her wounds slowly closed, it became clear. Despite know a little magic himself, he was still amazed by what it could do in the hands of someone much more skilled at it than he.

	Osric sat by the fire to keep warm from the cold night and the ice blocked merchant. He looked up as Carmen began to speak. They were close to their next destination, but there was a problem. Just as Osric suspected, the red stripes were probably occupying the town of Katwiz. Osric sat on the ground, his elbows resting on his knee. He watched the shadow of the fire flicker among the rocks that surrounded it.

	“The red stripes are probably still licking their wounds. I doubt they would be able to get anyone into town any sooner than we to arrive. We’d have to be vigilant, but I doubt they would have the time or energy to prepare any sort of bounty or even properly inform any authorities that could challenge us effectively. If we go and leave swiftly, gather what we need as quickly as possible, I don’t think we’d face much trouble.” said Osric.
