(Hey everyone! Just a quick note about the recording - something happened at 2:21:50, and unfortunately, about ten minutes of material was lost. The recording picks up again at 2:21:51, but during that time, here's what happened.  - Lux entered the inn and looked around for their brother, Nox, before finding him at the back. The two siblings shared a reunion and a hug, before Lux tried to tell him something. However, as the performance of Lute Destroyers was about to start, Nox said that they could talk after the show.  - Adriel entered the inn and sat down at a table. Patina, noticing the handsome young man, sent Cherry over to be cute, and Adriel was amused by the little bird.  - Gwen, searching through the crates, found the coffee bag she was looking for - as well as a strange moving bag. Confused, she opened it, and a two foot long, golden-furred, flying elephant came out. The elephant thanked Gwen for freeing her, before asking who was in charge of the city. A baffled Gwen said she didn't know, and the elephant replied that she needed to find this person - because something terrible was about to happen to the city.  - Finally, the proprietor of the inn, Kirog, introduced the Lute Destroyers, who came out and greeted the audience. And that's where the audio picks up once again.)
