The unmistakable sound of people arguing drifted in from outside, immediately drawing their attention.

Emerging into view was the party of Marrowin. Walking just behind Marrowin were Lilitha and Evangela, completely absorbed in a fierce, high-volume debate about the history of the Machine Ruin City.
