<So the question would be how to catch their attention. With any luck they won't be intent on trying to kill anybody other than us. Though if they truly do target Forlirn's bloodline or whatnot... well, we might not even be able to do that. Either way, I think it'd probably be best if we try to avoid them all together.

The edge is steep, and you'd likely not be getting back up if you trip."

But what is important is this 'comet' is highly magical in nature and, if we've done our research correctly, should pass by Elune again as the night reaches its mid.

Now while we believe there's nothing to fear, we have noted that certain magical energies can cause reactions in certain people. Thus, the pendants we displayed earlier..."
The mage gestured toward several necklaces hanging from a display, all of which had a small, unremarkable stone attached. Evidently, the mages were attempting to sell these necklaces.
Of the group of mages, one individual in particular seemed to stick out. He was a young-looking man, dressed in jeans, tennis shoes, a hoodie, and glasses. He had a decidedly bored expression, apparently not incredibly interested in selling necklaces.
