The group is huddled in a mountain lion cave while the unnatural storm bears down on them from the north. Alexis has just finished scrying on Mavon, and is worried about his friend.

While sitting in the protection of Raiden Alexis sits cross-legged with his book of notes in this lap. He looks over at Sally and Gustav, and waves a piece of dried meat for Sally to join him briefly.

After feeding Sally, Alexis starts a page of portraits. When he started with Gustav and Ethelred into Pulathi, he had never really tried to draw much. But as Alexis has encountered the weird and the unusual he has worked on his drawing. Nobody would say is portraits are good now, but he can consistently draw so someone knows the likeness.

He keeps the pictures small so he can squeeze a lot of them on this page. Mavon is already on the page. He starts with the Spider of the Dark Hand next. He has a list in his mind; Ezrin, Varisimus, Ethelred, Alekeemo, Cheyeenee, Earyka, Leer, Yeegoth the Mighty, Tarkus Vell, Squire Perez, Ardor Skull-eyes … and the list goes on.

As he keeps drawing he narrates to Sally about the person behind each portrait, feeding her a little bit as he goes. “… Domdir who we found in the sewers of Sutheron, possibly from Mount Sutheron. Another mystery, really. And his companion Draego… “

The storm rages on, Alexis sits in the circle periodically feeding Sally, drawing in his book, and quietly narrating to Sally as he draws.
