## Summary

The two groups meet up with Adrian Tanlaial holding a jar of silvers. Olwen Edgeworth praises Sybl Indrax's work at Gatless Hold-em'. They decide to go to the haunted house and the throwing events afterward with Adrian in particular looking to get some practise. They descend into the haunted house with a musky smell. Jojo gets another joke in to Hoshimi's dismay. Sybl pulls out his violin to add to the atmosphere.

As Hoshimi berates Flint and Jojo about the jokes, Olwen finds that the blood on the floor is real. Hoshimi smells the blood and realizes that more is coming from further in by the giant hole in the wall. A voice echoes from the hole that the people of Gatless Town have provided thier sacrifices. Bloody spiders crawl from the walls as Flint leaps into Seven's arms. Olwen goes into the hole only to find a girl coming out saying that she got better reactions yesturday. Adrian is relieved as the girl reveals herself to be a blood mage named Tatiyana. She presses for those who were scared to put a silver in the jar. Flint is forced to donate since he leapt into Seven's arms. A bunch of others donate as well along with giving some tips. The party also complement Seven on her bravery

They head to the axe and knife throwing. Sybl and Seven go to the axe throwing while Jojo watches and the others take the knives. Olwen goes first and completely misses her two shots so the guy helps her hit the target with her third. Adrian is up next and he hits the target. He gets closer with the second shot but misses the target with the third. Hoshimi and Flint miss the target on all but their last shots. Next up is axe throwing and Seven hits her target on the first toss but the axe bounces off the target on her second and third tosses. Sybl nails the target dead center on his first toss while he undershoots the second toss and gets close to Seven's toss on the third one.

Seven feels better about it and wants a hand-axe. The stall owner decides to sell her one for 4 silvers while giving the hand axe to Sybl for winning. Sybl also signs the target as Olwen gives Adrian's new clothes to him. Adrian tries on the cloak and sees a patch that's sewn in that resembles Directian, the dishonor brigade and the daggers of light. Adrian is overwhelmed with emotion and thanks Olwen for the detail. Olwen gives Flint a pair of gloves that read Flint on one hand and Fuse on the other. As Hoshimi whispers that it was a good time to hug Olwen, Flint hugs Olwen for the gift. Adrian hugs her after she mentions that she has gifts for everyone in the party at a later time.

Adrian races over to Lhark's tent after the hug and Hoshimi follows. Adrian wants her to restore the cemetary with the money. Hoshimi is surprised at how emotional Adrian is and he's just happy that he has a reminder on how great his father was. He confesses that he went to visit his father's grave when they arrived at Gatless and Hoshimi calls him lucky to be able to see his father as her parents are long gone. Adrian realizes something and walks away leaving Hoshimi and Lhark confused. Lhark asks Hoshimi to keep an eye on Adrian has he's been acting weird since he got back.
