[He frowns.]

A fire? [What the fck. He doesn't ask if Cloud found the source because I feel like seemingly spontaneous fires were pretty common in the late-1800s tbh] How bad was the damage?

[residentmerc]

Not as bad as it could've been. [ everything here. is wood. ] Mostly some trees, but we found a hand in there.

[sixillusions]

[Oh. Hm. Don't like that.]

Just a hand?

[residentmerc]

No other body parts anywhere around. Signs of a fight, but that's not too surprising.

[sixillusions]

[Damn.]

Then they really are dead. [Either that or someone extremely unlucky is walking around VERY crispy and handless, but he doubts it.]

[residentmerc]

... Yeah, they are. Some of the others found the bodies, but they're gone now.

[sixillusions]

[He sighs.]

Damn it.

[residentmerc]

Yeah. Sounds like those cultists are more proactive than we thought.

[ yes, but also, no, ]

[sixillusions]

[YES BUT ALSO NO!!! But they don't know that. They also don't know that the hand will haunt us for fucking ever. Jesus.]

Have you seen those other three around?

[residentmerc]

No. If they're still alive, they'd be stupid to hang around too close. Probably we won't see them for a few days minimum.

[ wrong ]

[sixillusions]

If they've already got the bodies, we'll need to be prepared for a fight.

[The way this is true but not in the way he thinks but also somehow exactly in the way he thinks all at the same time]

[residentmerc]

You think so?

[sixillusions]

Well, they won't do anything good with them.
