<br>**[03:20] Lurie**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;It's awfully unsettling in here, isn't it?<br>**[03:24] Iris**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I can always fly you guys out<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;if it comes to that.<br>**[03:28] Matt**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Your wings are still healing, remember?<br>**[03:30] Iris**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Oh, I forgot.<br>**[03:34] Alma**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I'm beat!<br>**[03:36] Matt**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Strange that we're not seeing<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;many monsters, though.<br>**[03:40] Lurie**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I prefer that to the alternative.<br>**[03:44] Iris**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;But I'm so hungry!<br>**[03:46] Lurie**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I'm sure you are.<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Let's have lunch!<br>**[03:48] Alma**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Great idea!<br>**[03:50] Alma**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Let's pull some rations<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;from our storage spe—<br>**[03:53] Matt**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;No. Let's find our food here.<br>**[03:56] Matt**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I'll hunt us up something.<br>**[04:05] Matt**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Countless monsters' magic signatures,<br>**[04:08] Matt**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;but they're moving<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;in a conspicuously orderly fashion.<br>**[04:11] Matt**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Someone's commanding them.<br>**[04:13] Matt**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;There's one intentionally restrained<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;magic signature among them.<br>**[04:18] Matt**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;That must be<br>**[04:20] Matt**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;the smart monster!<br>**[04:26] Alma**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I-Is that...<br>**[04:27] Lurie**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;C-Can it be...<br>**[04:29] Iris**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I'm hungry!<br>**[04:36] Matt**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I was disappointed, to be frank.<br>**[04:39] Iris**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;It doesn't look very yummy.<br>**[04:42] Lurie**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;It's a Wism Monkey!<br>**[04:44] Lurie**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;It's a famously smart monster.<br>**[04:47] Alma**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Then the monster everyone's talking about...<br>**[04:50] Matt**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;It's probably this, yeah.<br>**[04:52] Matt**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;But forget about that.<br>**[04:54] Matt**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;More importantly...<br>**[04:56] Matt**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Oh, step back!<br>**[05:02] Matt**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Well, Iris?<br>**[05:03] Matt**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;This one looks better, right?<br>**[05:05] Iris**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Yes!<br>**[05:06] Alma**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Hang on!<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Are we gonna eat that?!<br>**[05:08] Lurie**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Is it even possible to eat monsters?<br>**[05:11] Matt**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Not all of them, of course,<br>**[05:14] Matt**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;but this one's just fine.<br>**[05:15] Matt**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;It's kind of a delicacy, really.<br>**[05:17] Lurie**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If you say so...<br>**[05:19] Alma**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Really? Are you being serious?!<br>**[05:22] Matt**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Now, let's get it cooked up!<br>**[05:24] Lurie**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Of course. Let me start...<br>**[05:29] Matt**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I see.<br>**[05:30] Matt**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Refining iron from the ground<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;to make a pot.<br>**[05:33] Lurie**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Yes! We'll forage for our tools as well!<br>**[05:36] Iris**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I'm gonna forage, too!<br>**[05:38] Iris**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I'll prepare the firewood!<br>**[05:41] Alma**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Then I'll gather up some local plants<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;to make a soup!<br>**[05:45] Matt**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I think that's enough, Iris.<br>**[05:49] Iris**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;You think?<br>**[05:54] Matt**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;What did you just do?!<br>**[05:57] Alma**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I don't usually have trouble with fire spells,<br>**[06:02] Alma**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;but for some reason,<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;having the ingredients nearby makes it blow up.<br>**[06:08] Alma**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I can still handle the cooking part!<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I can!<br>**[06:10] Alma**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;You don't believe me?<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;But I really can!<br>**[06:13] Alma**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Say something, Lurie!<br>**[06:18] Alma**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I-It looks tasty enough...<br>**[06:20] Lurie**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;It's quite ample...<br>**[06:32] Alma & Lurie**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;So good!<br>**[06:38] Alma**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Alma's special soup!<br>**[06:40] Alma**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;It might be a little<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;on the strong side, of course!<br>**[06:43] Lurie**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I've never seen you cook before!<br>**[06:46] Alma**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I was banned from the kitchen back home!<br>**[06:50] Iris**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I'm not picky!<br>**[06:59] Matt**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Not even a darkness dragon can tolerate it?<br>**[07:02] Lurie**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Alma, what in the world<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;did you put in there?<br>**[07:04] Alma**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I made it the normal way! Sheesh!<br>**[07:08] Iris**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I could stand to eat a lot more,<br>**[07:10] Iris**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;but I suppose this human body<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;is around 80% full.<br>**[07:13] Alma**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;After eating all that?<br>**[07:15] Lurie**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;You have quite an appetite!<br>**[07:17] Lurie**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Were you that desperate<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;to cancel out the taste of the soup?<br>**[07:21] Alma**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;That again? Really?<br>**[07:22] Matt**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Well, let's get going.<br>**[07:25] Matt**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I think the forest monsters<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;are too afraid of Iris to approach.<br>**[07:30] Lurie**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Dragon magic power! Is that why?<br>**[07:33] Alma**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Plus he beat the Wism Monkey,<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;which is probably an incentive to stay away.<br>**[07:37] Matt**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Yeah.<br>**[07:37] Matt**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We'll reach Melkia before sundown.<br>**[07:56] Matt**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We're here!<br>**[07:58] Matt**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;So this is dungeon city Melkia...<br>**[08:05] Matt**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;What is all this?<br>**[08:07] Alma**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I expected a little more life<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;in a dungeon city.<br>**[08:11] Lurie**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;But it seems far more bleak<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;than the capital.<br>**[08:19] Matt**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;What's that?<br>**[08:20] Alma**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A magic lamppost?<br>**[08:22] Lurie**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Yes, but there's something strange<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;about how the magic flows.<br>**[08:26] Matt**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;You typically power magic equipment<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;with magistones,<br>**[08:29] Matt**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;but this one seems directly tapped<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;into the dragon's vein.<br>**[08:32] Matt**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;And in a slapdash fashion, at that.<br>**[08:35] Matt**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If it's left like this—<br>**[08:36] Shopkeeper**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Hey!<br>**[08:37] Shopkeeper**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;It's not safe there!<br>**[08:39] Shopkeeper**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Those things explode sometimes.<br>**[08:41] Shopkeeper**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;At least ten people have died this year alone.<br>**[08:44] Matt**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Not good!<br>**[08:45] Matt**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Get away, all of you!<br>**[08:51] Lurie**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Why would you make something<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;so dangerous?!<br>**[08:54] Shopkeeper**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;H-Hang on! Calm down!<br>**[08:57] Shopkeeper**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We don't have a choice.<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;It's was on the lord's orders.<br>**[09:01] Shopkeeper**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We used to use magistones.<br>**[09:04] Shopkeeper**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;But our lord said that magistones<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;are our most precious export,<br>**[09:07] Shopkeeper**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;so he forbids us from using them.<br>**[09:10] Lurie**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;How awful!<br>**[09:11] Lurie**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;What could your new lord be thinking?<br>**[09:15] Alma**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Yeah!<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Setting up dangerous stuff like that...<br>**[09:19] Matt**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Is the lord also the reason<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;why you're so underpopulated?<br>**[09:23] Shopkeeper**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Yeah, apparently a powerful monster<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;has appeared<br>**[09:26] Shopkeeper**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;around the tenth floor<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;of the dungeon.<br>**[09:28] Shopkeeper**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Most of the adventurers were sent in<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;on the lord's orders.<br>**[09:33] Shopkeeper**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Veteran and greenhorn alike.<br>**[09:35] Matt**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I see. So that's the reason.<br>**[09:39] Matt**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Can I have one for each of us?<br>**[09:41] Shopkeeper**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;S-Sure...<br>**[09:45] Alma**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The local lord sounds like a creep!<br>**[09:46] Lurie**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I feel for the poor townspeople!<br>**[09:49] Matt**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;He appears quite incompetent.<br>**[09:51] Matt**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If you send a lot of inexperienced people<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;on a monster hunt,<br>**[09:54] Matt**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;they'll just trip each other up.<br>**[09:57] Matt**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The area's weapons seem to be<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;of poor quality as well.<br>**[10:00] Lurie**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;What will we do next?<br>**[10:03] Matt**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Let's head to the guild first.<br>**[10:06] Matt**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;"To enter the dungeon,<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;you need a guild-issued permit," it says.<br>**[10:12] Matt**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I want to enter the dungeon<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;and have a look for ourselves.<br>**[10:18] Matt**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Excuse me!<br>**[10:20] Matt**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I'd like a permit to enter the dungeon.<br>**[10:23] Receptionist**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A permit?<br>**[10:25] Receptionist**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I would advise against that.<br>**[10:26] Matt**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Why? What's wrong with it?<br>**[10:29] Receptionist**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The permits aren't issued by the guild,<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;but by the lord himself.<br>**[10:33] Receptionist**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;So as long as you stay in Melkia,<br>**[10:36] Receptionist**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;you have to participate<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;in any special requests the lord asks of you.<br>**[10:39] Matt**<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;So to get a permit,*<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;we have to serve as the lord's lapdogs.*<br>**[10:44] Matt**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Are those special requests<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;typically dangerous?<br>**[10:47] Receptionist**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;They come in many forms,<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;from dungeon exploration to monster hunting,<br>**[10:52] Receptionist**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;but they're uniformly absurd.<br>**[10:54] Receptionist**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;They come about once a month,<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;but every one results in casualties.<br>**[10:59] Receptionist**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Children like you could never—<br>**[11:01] Matt**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I should ask just in case.<br>**[11:02] Matt**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;What do you want to do?<br>**[11:04] Alma**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I'm totally in!<br>**[11:05] Lurie**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I'll follow you anywhere, Matty!<br>**[11:07] Iris**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Me, too!<br>**[11:10] Adventurer A**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Listen to these brats run their mouths!<br>**[11:11] Adventurer A**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;You see what that dungeon did<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;to adults like us?<br>**[11:15] Matt**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I'd like four permits, please.<br>**[11:17] Receptionist**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Very well.<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We can start the application process.<br>**[11:21] Guild worker**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We have a huge number of injuries<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;from a monster attack!<br>**[11:23] Guild worker**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;There are too many injured<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;for us to keep up!<br>**[11:26] Guild worker**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Does anyone know healing spells?<br>**[11:29] Adventurer A**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;All the real adventurers are in the dungeon!<br>**[11:33] Adventurer A**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;You really think—<br>**[11:34] Matt**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;There's one right here.<br>**[11:37] Lurie**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Matty...<br>**[11:39] Matt**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Take me where I need to go.<br>**[11:46] Nurse A**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We're out of bandages! Bring some new ones!<br>**[11:47] Matt**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;This is...<br>**[11:48] Nurse B**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I can't stop the bleeding!<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I need healing spells, fast!<br>**[11:53] Healer A**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I'm locked down here.<br>**[11:54] Healer A**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I need help!<br>**[11:56] Alma**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;This is awful...<br>**[11:57] Lurie**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Look at that.<br>**[11:58] Matt**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;They can't even manage a stopgap.<br>**[12:00] Matt**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In a dungeon city full of adventurers...<br>**[12:02] Matt**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Why do they have so few healers?<br>**[12:05] Guild worker**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We used to have a number on staff,<br>**[12:07] Guild worker**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;but they were all driven out by the lord.<br>**[12:09] Guild worker**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;He said they were a waste of money!<br>**[12:12] Matt**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;It's wrong to let people die<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;due to the orders of an incompetent lord.<br>**[12:17] Matt**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I will save them all!<br>**[12:20] Matt**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*I'll start with a Passive Detect.*<br>**[12:22] Matt**<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I'll feel out the patients' magic power*<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;to get a quick idea of their status.*<br>**[12:32] Matt**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;These numbers represent<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;their injuries' severity.<br>**[12:34] Matt**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I'll look at the worst off among them.<br>**[12:36] Matt**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The rest of you, cast healing spells<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;in descending order of urgency.<br>**[12:39] Lurie**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We will!<br>**[12:42] Healer A**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Hold it!<br>**[12:44] Healer A**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;You can't just barge in here like this!<br>**[12:45] Healer A**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;People's

Healer A**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Of course not!<br>**[12:55] Healer A**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I have to triage them<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;based on their condition<br>**[12:57] Healer A**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;to keep losses to a minimum!<br>**[12:59] Matt**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Then be quiet and watch.<br>**[13:03] Healer A**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Typical nonsense,<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;from a Crest of Failure!<br>**[13:05] Matt**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Actually, this kind of healing is the sort<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;that the Crest of
