What else is there to do but move forward and hope for the best? Njoki doubts that everyone here will believe that what she's brought will be of any use, but it won't hurt any of them to at least try it out.

"I think that it'd be a good idea to kit-up with what I've got before we head to Spatters so people can adjust and get used to it," she remarks before putting out a small jar with a waxy substance on a nearby table and a few anklets with little beads or flannel pouches attached to the braided leather. "The salve goes on your eyelids to help you spot wards, hexes and traps, and the speedwells on your ankle to keep you moving, give you luck, and hopefully stop you from getting tracked back when all is said and done."
