The group recovers what they can from the crash and begins to scheme on how to circumvent the assassination contract they find themselves the targets of.
As the ship continues to burn and crumble on the mountainside, Trix introduces Regi to the rest of their current group. In turn, Regi reveals that the mayor from Sparrow’s Landing has put out an open contract for their deaths. He tells them that while she doesn’t plan to go through with the contract now, they warn them that if he doesn’t do something the contract will remain open and will have to deal with worse foes down the road. Eight offers to give him their finger as “proof”, but the party decides they have some time to work out a plan as Regi will need to accompany them for a while before they can leave the desert.
The party, plus Regi, set up camp for the evening. Eight uses some magic to repair most of the damage to the cart before getting instructions on sleeping from Regi. Seeing their excitement to try it out, the rest of the group divides into pairs for watch. Trix and Regi take the first watch, and use the time to catch up on what they’ve been up to since they parted ways. While overall the conversation is pleasant, Trix brings up an uncomfortable and potentially problematic flaw in Eight’s plan to give up a finger.
