## Summary

* At the potion shop/field hospital in Newhaven, Bovil tells the squad about the Great War and the creation of the demigods. He believes that now there's a new war, those demigods are dying.
	+ He thinks by reuniting the meteorite piece to the asteroid, he can become the new demigod of Hybdall.
	+ The squad wants to confirm the existence of the time loop outside of just what Bovil's saying, as well as help the targeted Shadowend cadets since they seem linked to the journal.
* Zelf attempts to feed his eleflute some pasta before giving up and putting grapes in a bowl. The eleflute sucks the grapes in through its snoot and makes a little pop sound.
* Prince Erling shows up to the field hospital with Bantaro Valentine as his escort.
	+ Janni hears that things are not going well for the other squads. One of the Gnome Council was killed, as well as Shadowend cadet Elm. Glorihan's squad was sent in to defuse the situation, but Harvel revealed his identity to the Errosian Winterguard and they are now all on the run from Mage Captain Kihu.
	+ Prince Erling asks Patty and Astra to find Gamwir, one of Newhaven's democratic council, to convince him to join the Triad Nations. Gamwir is hiding somewhere on a rooftop garden.
* The squad plans to gather more intel and heads to the southern docks, where Church Bodacious and the Winterguard ships are.
	+ Astra disguises herself as an old fortune teller while Patty sneaks in through the back. Astra reads the fortune of a Winterguard soldier and gets the guards to leave.
* Demtup, one of the gnomes from Church Bodacious, goes to the docks pretending to give blessings to the Winterguard soldiers, in hopes of passing a message to any disguised Shadowend cadets there.
* The squad watches as a large construct with a claw walks off of the Winterguard ship.
* Demtup returns with a message: "Baby Angel."

## Trivia
