Gaping Maw of Sound #13

The fight began between the Gaping Maw and the muscle sent by Lord Marquis Duke Baron King to retrieve Kit

The group was able to defeat the formidable duo of Hee-Ay and Nahesa, keeping Hee-Ay alive

• After interrogation, the group discovered the Lord Marquis was after a small box Kit had stolen from his treasury in Topside, but also wanted to see Kit dead for the crime of stealing from him

• Kit came clean about his past, telling everyone that he wasn't actually from Trine and had been on the run from the Lord Marquis for quite some time, even though he didn't know what was actually in the box he stole, as it was magically sealed

The group ended up finishing off Hee-Ay, and Neya turned on Kit, blaming the fire genasi for the deaths of the goblins at the hands of the henchmen sent by Lord Marquis

• A spirited and near-violent discussion between the two caused Jackal to step in and scold Neya for threatening Kit, claiming friends forgive each other

• Upset when Neya continued her accusations, Jackal ran off and was consoled by Mr. Smith, who sang him a song of about the Lord Marquis Duke Baron King

The group agreed to disagree for the time being on who was at fault for everything, but vowed to settle things in Topside when they got to the Arrowhead Isles, after finding Jackal's sisters.

They headed off west, towards Wayward.
