The party were on they way to Ignition to get some gems for some shoes they want to sell to the bard Guy, when they ran into a werewolf. Bouldara ends up restraining the werewolf.

**Combat: The Sisters vs Werewolf**
* Round 4: Pebble attacks the werewolf with unarmed strikes while holding silver coins and lands a hits. Lazuli uses vicious mockery. The bear from earlier charges out of the woods and joins the fight. There werewolf breaks free from Bouldara and starts to flee from the battle. Bouldara gives chase and dives at the werewolf's feet, again grappling him.
* Round 5: Pebble lands more hits with her silver coined-hands. Lazuli uses vicious mockery which makes fun of the werewolf thinking it is a person. The werebear turns into a person and looks at Lazuli annoyed by her hurtful remarks. There werewolf lashes out at the Bouldara but his attacks don't connect. Bouldara tries to convince the werewolf to stand down by sweet-talking them and respecting their strength. The werewolf seems to reciprocate but he doesn't stand down.
* Round 6: Pebble lands more hits with her silver coined-hands. Lazuli uses vicious mockery to back-peddle some of her anti-shapeshifter rhetoric. There werebear grabs there werewolf by the nap of their neck, and tells Bouldara they have it. Bouldara lets go of the werewolf. :**Combat Over**

The werebear throws the werewolf away into the woods. There Werewolf flees. There werebear explains they came this way to help because of advice from Nadinis, goddess of nature. The werebear was the bear that had been following the party before. There werebear introduces herself as Trea.

Trea will accompany the sisters to the end of the road to Ignition. She turns back into bear form and gives the wounded Bouldara a ride. As the party travel, Trea explains that there are very few werebears in this forest, just her clan. She and her spouse were created as 12 year olds when the world was created. She lives with her spouse and 3 children. The werewolves outnumber the werebears in the forest, but werebears are stronger than werewolves. Trea's den is someplace to the north. Werebears need clothes and such from civilization, but werebears tend not to live going into human settlements. The sisters offer to make Trea some shoes, and Pebble takes the time to carve a last of Trea's feet to make the shoes later.

### Buying Topaz in Ignition

The sisters arrive at Ignition and go their separate ways from Trea. The sisters came to Ignition to buy Topaz from Valence, Proton's half sister.

In the streets of the town the sisters make their schemes. Their play is to play into Valence's greed to get a good trade for the Topaz.

The sisters arrive at Valence's store, Valence's Shells & Gemstones. The sisters use the aliases Barry (Bouldara), Cherry (Pebble) and Larry (Lazuli). Lazuli acts haughty towards Valence while Bouldara is rude about the quality of Valence work. Valence gets mad at Bouldara who is forced to leave. Outside Bouldara vandalises the outside of the shop.

Lazuli lays out the bait regarding the goddess blessed giant crab shell. Lazuli then barters to lower the price with Valence. They negociate 2 Topaz and 1 Jade in exchange for the crab shell.

The sisters then go to a tavern to rest. In the evening Valence comes into the tavern as well with a human man. Bouldara goes to the buy and buys a drink as an apology to Valence. The human man with Valence intercepts Bouldara, upset they sent a drink to "his girl". Bouldara gives a beer to the human, and acts like she was trying to flirt with the human, who becomes confused. The human wants to kiss Bouldara but she turns it town. This really sets Valence off and goes to confront Bouldara. Bouldara calls Valence pretty, and Valence leaves, flustered.

The sisters sleep overnight.

### Returning to the First City

The sisters leave Ignition and travel back to The First City (Remix) without incident. The sisters think it is time to pay off their debt to the loanshark. The sisters arrange an appointment.

Before the appointment they go visit Proton and tell them of what occurred with Valence. Proton is worried that her family will find her, but the sisters assure Proton they used fake name while in Ignition. Proton warns that her mother knows magic, and wants Proton to be the next "Keeper of the Acorn". Lazuli says they should dye Proton's hair pink to change her appearance to help her hide.

The sisters want to give something to Proton for all of her help, and she asks for a pet cat. The sisters agree to find her a pet.
