In Cragdubh, Siobhan wants Morvan to bless the town. He climbs the hill with Arsis and Tachius and when he reaches the large tree he goes rigid and his tattoo starts glowing. He goes into a brief trance and has a feeling of something being missing. He senses things are weird here in Pictia. It feels like a corrupted version of what it should be. It's almost like the land is looking for something.

A breeze comes from inland. A vague noise coming from the darkness under the trees. The outline of an enormous bear comes out of the woods about 50 feet away about 5 feet at the shoulders. Walks slowly toward Morvan but he is in heavy meditation and cant see or hear anything. Stops and sits down directly behind Morvan, leans forward and puts a paw on his shoulder and pulls Movan into a big ol bear hug.

Morvan is transported into a cave with a large bear named Bjorn. "This is how you touch the wild. This is what was missing from you". Bear leaves and Morvan follows it into the darkness. A feminine form with large antlers greets him. Looks like one of the figures he met when he got his tattoo.

"Why are you here, you're not from here. The land is fine, it doesn't need your help. But you bear the marks of the way men used to see us. They gave names like Silvan, they called us 'the wild hunt'. "

The crew goes back and sleeps. Ebenezer captains a ship and they set sail. Mid afternoon the sky turns gray. Everyone throws up. Tachius pukes out a wild-magic fire elemental. Moira tries banishing it but failed due to how drugged she is.
