| ~36 | Ch13 | **Saturday** | Saturday morning: guild HQ, Compact regulatory letter (Section 14c), Ledger's note backing client. Cassius Rykhard encounter outside guild — 25 gold bribe offered and refused. Tenth bell: planning library, Mere and Devod first proximity, mine expedition planned. Saturday afternoon: Carter's shop, supplies assembled, focusing ring revealed and purchased (12 silvers). Walk home. Mine expedition set: tomorrow (Sunday), fifth bell. |
| ~37 | Ch14 | **Sunday** | Fifth bell departure from Drenwick, three hours SE by cart. Devod drives. Arrive Velken's Drift ~eighth bell. Mine entry: Flaw Sight overwhelmed by ambient residue (useless, not degraded). Bracelet filters worst but can't eliminate. Descent through galleries — Devod navigates by memory. Residue pocket encounter (3 seconds sensory overload). **Fight 1: four mine dogs** (mutated by residue). Ring first combat use: 12ft clean kill (amplified by residue), second shot dampened (melee required), ring vibration at threshold. Devod's walking stick deflects flanking dog from Mere — protective instinct, not the equipment. Mere catalogs the data point. Post-fight: ~30% reserves spent (vs. Barrows: 100% for 5 crawlers). Ring efficiency confirmed. **Ghostveil moss located:** east branch, second gallery, flooded sublevel. Old stock, high concentration. Mere estimates ~1 hour to harvest. **End hook:** human voices from deeper in the mine. Not empty. |
| ~37 | Ch15 | **Sunday** (cont.) | Moss harvest (~40 min, Mere). **Fight 2: five bandits** from south passage via Fenwick bottoms shortcut. Ring combat: five fire workings + defensive screen at double residue cost (~70% → ~25-26%). Bracelet wellspring discovered (reservoir reverses flow, pushes reserves to ~32-34%). Bandits secured. Patrol documents + Greenvale Provisions receipt recovered. Devod identifies ghost vendor. Ceiling structural failure — Devod's wheel jack fix. **Saturated magical ore** discovered in old carts, ~30-35 pieces loaded. Cart ride home (~3 hours), arrive Drenwick late afternoon/evening. |
| ~38 | Ch16 | **Monday** | Morning: Phelan visits Leon at chandler's shop rooms, asks him to guild planning room. Second bell (afternoon): guild planning room, 14 Greystone Lane. Bracelet revealed to Leon. Leon/Phelan riff refines Layer 2 (stabilizer weaponized). Mere cracks conspiracy (curse-breaker procedures don't test for nested workings — "Who wrote the procedure?"). Sniff parallel named. **Devod solves Layer 3** — "move the lock" analogy (idea #7). Dual moss use crystallized. Execution order locked: L3→L2→L1. Hyperfocus spiral takes over — chapter ends mid-thought. Reserves ~70-80% entering session, draining from sustained hyperfocus. |
| ~38–39 | Ch17 | **Monday–Tuesday** | Monday afternoon: hyperfocus spiral continues, bracelet goes hot (focusing matrix past physical limit), crash. ~14 hours unconscious on guild planning room floor. Leon transcribes execution architecture. Mere stays after others leave (hand-holding, blanket-tucking). Compact moves overnight: transfer motion (blocked by guild), qualification inquiry (filed), Calla approached directly (shaken but holding). Carter drops off supplies, sees bracelet. Tuesday morning: Phelan wakes. Thornwell root (Mere's quarter-grain prep). Leon reports Compact intel. Devod arrives with supplies and Carter's bracelet note. Mere arrives with moss preparations — standard complete, altered at 70%. Ledger visits Calla to steady her. Planning: tomorrow (Wednesday) morning bedside observation for resonance data, then Mere completes altered prep, then cure. Reserves ~30%, bracelet recovering (warming toward amber). |
