"Why have you come back?" Winters asked with a smile, "Isn't there a lot to handle down in Iron Peak County?"
Old friend, just seeing you makes me so happy, Winters thought to himself.
"Winter has come, so there's not much to do." Bard had grown a bit thinner: "Have you thought about how to deal with the Heretic Priest?"
"Did you come back just to discuss this with me? Couldn't you just write a letter?"
Bard answered earnestly: "This matter can be big or small, we must take it seriously."
"I don't have any good solution. Caman has asked me to buy him some time; he seems to have his own plan."
"And what's your plan?"
"I only have a backup plan. I wrote to General Serviati, asking him to get in touch with the Alliance Magic Combat Bureau. But the time it takes to go back and forth is probably more than Caman needs."
Bard nodded: "How do you plan to buy time?"
