“Master Ashton had me grab some healing supplies and run to Mayor Royston when those things attacked town. He didn't make it behind the barricade.
But if he's alive--and he's just crazy enough he might be--he's probably holed up in his cottage. With caustic compounds. And explosives.
Look, why don't you go check out his basement and I'll stay out of the blast radi- I mean I'll go see if the garden can be salvaged.
Try not to look flammable.”
