“Well… I don’t think cultists would use paint instead of blood. Perhaps someone else painted those symbols, as a warning to those who approach the hospital?”
“If such were the case, then… surely it is not an immediate threat?” Arius asks.

Drakor considered. “Very well. I will contact the militia tomorrow. Would you mind coming with me to describe what you found?”

“I don’t mind,” Arius says with a smile.

there must be some secret wizards or sorcerers or something hiding out in the hospital! or at least, if there are any other creatures that might naturally have that sort of power, they’re not coming to mind

Hi! To find out what I can do, say @discobot display help.
“Thank you,” Drakor nodded, returning to the table where Canary (and Zelsh? Not sure) sat. “Did you want to sit?”
She takes another sip of her wine.
“I certainly hope not. He is married, so perhaps the situation will resolve itself eventually.”
“Uh…” Arius finally notices the growling of his stomach. “Yes. That would be great.”
Arius joins the party for supper.

Canary seems to start to not mind her table manners, as after a good bit of time of her wordlessly sitting at the table with a conflicted look on her face, she stands up and walks back to her inn room.

(Merchant 2:) “More of the usual, I suppose. His Majesty added another duty on goods passing through Port Ice, this time on bridles and saddles.”
(Guard 2:) “It’s really awfully specific of him.”
(Guard 1:) “He’s hosting some Taldan nobility at court, and rumor has it he’s looking to arrange a marriage, but I don’t believe it. It’s not like they’re important Taldan nobles, and besides, who would want to marry a noble from Taldor ? They’d spend all his money on frivolous Taldan extravagancies.”
(Merchant 1:) “I don’t think he can afford to provoke the Great Houses like that, not unless he were marrying the Grand Princess herself.”
(Guard 2:) “Apart from that, the Basilisk games have started up again. I heard the king even paid for the team’s gear!”
(Guard 1:) “What do they need fancy gear for, anyway? When I was a kid, we just played with a ball, a blindfold, and some cups on a stick.”
She’s back to reading her wizard tradition book with a mostly incorrect section on sorcery, and a partly incorrect section on everything else.
She sighs to herself whilst looking at information on other bloodlines.

She mutters something about ‘family’.
Wanderer will stick in the conversation for a number of minutes, adding in commentary here and there. To live is to experience, and he does so.
Every conversation has its end. After a time, he’ll leave and learn about the sleeping arrangements he’s certainly missed out on the planning of.

There are an extremely large number of sorcerous bloodlines, and the author regretfully notes that they cannot promise they are giving a complete list. Some of the more obscure varietals they have heard of (though they are not confident whether they are actually true, and suspect that at least some are not) are “nature sorcerers” who can bless the fields with abundant harvests as often and as easily as if they were casting a cantrip, “location sorcerers” who draw their powers from a specific location, “leopard sorcerers” who bond with leopards and can give them a fraction of their power, “griffon sorcerers” (probably unrelated to leopard sorcerers) who supposedly manifest wings as soon as they develop their powers, sometimes even before they can cast a spell…
Some people claim to be “sorcerers”, and resemble them in some ways (such as casting spontaneously from the spells they know rather than having to prepare spells each day, and/or having powers that run in their family), except that their power increases with their own cunning or intellect, rather than their charm or force of personality. Whether these people are sorcerers at all are up for debate; the author comes down on the side of thinking that they should not be classified as sorcerers. One scholar has apparently suggested that these people should be considered wizards , and the author devotes an entire page to dissecting that scholar’s arguments and explaining why they disagree.
