Yulya rests to restore her mp after filling the focus and gladly eats Cats snake stew. She stores the bandit brooches with the other loot in a barrel and gives the badger ring to Alice.
I think you are the only one immune to its side effects!



So now let us depart to a lower level! I do not even want to think about what awaits us there!

Yulya gives the badger ring to Alice.
I think you are the only one immune to its side effects!

Alice takes the ring and looks at it for a moment.
I take your word for it!

Alice tosses the ring into her mouth like a piece of canddy and stores it in the lolibank, handing Yulya 1gp in exchange.

You settle in and within minutes of resting you get an unexpected visitor.
From the glowing non-corporeal vestments, this appears to be a former wizard, the bones animate and creek in a unsettling way. He carries a scepter with a brilliant crystal of the same color and shape as those clusters that were growing in the chamber with the Myconids.

Alice is cheerfully impressed by the strange being she characterizes as yet another curiosity on par with, no - topping even the Myconids
Oh cool! He's floating! I've never seen anything like that!
The same pretty glow as the shrooms! Are you their master?

Spotting the scepter, even the magic-blind alien can reach some conclusions.
Ah! You're the one who made these beam-holes and obliterated the bandits, right? Impressive! But please don't make holes in us! We are on your side ok? We hunt down the bandits who broke in here and defiled your vault! But I don't know about the Forge of Spells. Do you, Yulya?

Having nothing to add, Alice reaches in her mouth and shows the Jade Frog to the strange being like a child presenting her teddy bear.
