I really was hoping to have Gregor become the quiet sidekick sort of guy, but Trolldrien put that plan to rest

Grifen listened carefully to Leo's story, fascinated by the visuals he described (even if she probably got them wrong in her head).
: "Wow...preacher, yer even further from home than I am. Yer home sounds way more exciting too."
: "So, why do you wanna go back? Are ya missing yer family, or do you wanna heal sick folk, or what?"

Where the heck is scapheap? If she doesn't want Sakura to be useless next map she needs to start hunting for some Dark times >:/

What's a spinal laser?

A laser (or railgun, particle cannon, etc. later in development) that is aligned with the center-line of a ship, the ship's "spine", rather than being mounted elsewhere. Basically, it's the sort of weapon that runs through the core of a ship instead of an external or near-external mount. Typically they're larger weapons than an equivalent surface-mount, but are obviously limited to only being aimed at a single point directly ahead of the ship, instead of being turreted or having a limited angle of traverse.

Isn't that basically how non-turreted weapons work now, with their tracking speed being limited to move speed? I always got the impression that railguns and the like were spinal mounted.

@ Shopkeep

Exact same amount I wanted to borrow from Eleanor...oops. Well, I'm sure someone else could use extra gold.

: "You got a deal!" She handed over her old Slim Bow and the amount of gold needed to make up the rest of the cost. Once the Iron Crossbow was in her possession, she returned to Leo, Sheila, and Candy.

Grifen winced at the sound of Candy's singing but remained otherwise focused.

: "We'll just hope for the best on that front, right?" she asked, shaking Leo's hand with one hand and clapping him on the shoulder with the other in the traditional way of concluding business.

: "Well its been nice chattin' with y'all, but I wanna try to get a little shopping done before bosslady calls us all back. Later!"

Grifen goes to the crossbow store, sells the Slim Bow, and buys an Iron Crossbow.

: "Preacher, I'm more worried about you. Y'ain't even seen how bad I am with healing staffs yet. I'm liable to concuss bystanders!"

: "But don't worry, I'll get yer feet working properly. I don't care how many mashed toes I get, just so long as ya don't step on my arm. Deal?" She held out a hand to shake.
