The sound of that awful cackling noise sent chills down Daniel's back "Where did that laugh come from?". "Honestly," Kyler replies shaking, "I think that was the Sorceress.". Kiersten's eyes widen with fear "Is this, like, a game to her?". "I'm hungry!" Everyone turns to stare at the source of this random outburst, which comes from a very annoyed Mary Lieb. An awkward silence fills the room. Until Kiersten and Bryan burst out laughing and others giggle at her remark. "Ain't that the truth." Nyadhol shakes her head and crossing her arms. Although, Rita steers the conversation elsewhere "You guys, she said 'at midnight' is when something's gonna happen.". "But midnight is so soon!" Sophia complains. Brynn, meanwhile, has turned her attention back to the gem map "What is this?" she wonders aloud. Cole and Shangag come by her side and examine the symbol that's above the spot where the fourth gem is to be placed. Shangag takes a better look and realizes what it is "Oh! Y'all it's an axe and a gun.". "Well shit, hang on now Mr.Mystery Incorporated" Octavia comments as the rest of the group joins near the gem map. "So somebody's gonna have to fight." Tamaya clarifies for the group. "I think Amarie should be the one fighting..." mumbles Olivia in which Amarie raises an eyebrow. "Excuse me, what was that?" she asks, Olivia sighs "You're still the reason we're here Amarie. Three friends are dead now, can you imagine who else has to go?". "You guys voted for those people as well, so don't come for it Olivia." Amarie purses her lips "Just like you guys came for me though." Olivia protests. Before anyone can continue saying anything Thomas interrupts with saying "I found this on the doorstep at the beginning of the night," as he brings in yet another clue.
Bryan This time, it's a scroll, that's tied with a simple red ribbon,
Thomas immediately hands to Josh.
Brynn If you have all these things, then why aren't you giving it to us right away!
Josh opens the scroll and notice it's a propaganda flyer, bolded with black and red letters.

The whole thing is a bunch of gibberish to Shaadira, but Kai is quick to find the hidden message within its thick print "Wait let's read the red," he suggests. "Yeah," Nancy agrees "Read just the red.".
Key to helm of obedience behind terrifying face.
"Her face!" shouts Mary, pointing. "Hey." Brynn, who thinks that Mary is referring to her face, scowls "My face is not terrifying!". Mary giggles, hugging Brynn "No, no! Not you baby.".
