CHAPTER XXXII
in which Glad gets knocked out by everyone ...
Interview With a Dragon II
Krom, Elias, Prixus, and Ra'jira fall asleep and enter the dreaming where they wake upon a boat floating in the sky. They enter a cabin and find themselves in a tailor shop where they meet the Weaver. He and the Protector takes order for whatever weapons they need. Then they exit back onto the deck of the ship where they direct the captain to sail skywards in order to meet Xisben. They continue like this for a while, not getting much closer to their presumed destination. They try speeding up to no avail. After wandering fruitlessly for a while, they return to the tailor shop where Weaver helps to put them in touch with Xisben. Ra'jira sits on his head, amusing the dragon. Then he gets down and takes on Xisben's appearance. Xisben likewise makes himself look like a cat. Krom finds it hard to take this whole thing seriously. They end up getting the same endowment the rest of the group got and then wake from the dream.
Violent Waves
Upon waking, the group notes that Haas has gone missing. Glad assumes she's dead. They also slowly realize an unusual calm and an incoming wave in the distance. Most of the group races to cover. Glad unconcernedly hovers in safety and laughs at his teammates. As they race, a kinetic force pulls Krom back toward the shore. Glad slows the descent with his own kinetic force and then revokes the remaining kinetic force on Krom. While the rest of the group continues to safety, Glad decides to experiment. Revocation doesn't quite work on the tidal wave which is surely being powered by kinetic energy. So he tries staging revocation. This revokes his flight ring's enchantment and he plummets to the earth. Glad slows himself kinetically and is caught by Krom's evoke earth magic. He shrugs off any injuries with Regen 2 potion.
Determined to track down the source of the staged quasith leak, he begins staging kinetic again and feels the tug. Not really knowing what he's doing, he tugs back and ends up reaping energy from the source of the leak. He shows off by lightning the general area of the leak and in retaliation, the leak zaps the Silver Foxes, all of whom besides Glad take aggravated damage. The group scurries from the attack but Ra'jira sticks around to knockout Glad with Haas provided potion. It works and the Elias carries him back to their base camp. The incoming wave destroys Wharf 3. None of the conscious Silver Foxes realize that they should stick around to receive the weapons promised them by the Weaver. Upon waking, Glad tries to trip Ra'jira in revenge but the furball has perfect balance. Krom and Ra'jira then tease Glad by taking off on Doug without him. Glad refuses to chase behind and uses his kinetic to fuck with the groups ride. This continues for an awkward amount of time.
Eventually the group make their way back to Brenthia where Gormie tells them they fucked up by not staying to get the weapons.
