Alchemy's a subclass of artificer. [ So, close to it! Closer than anyone's ever tried to guess, so it isn't entirely disappointing in that resigned way he's become used to when people simply say no. ] But, uh, you said you saw something out here, right? You saw it? Or you felt it?

[ No, he thinks the guy said saw, but--he's checking, okay. Maybe the guy can sense something more than Gorgug can (other than the cold, and the creepy vibes being out this late kinda give...), but even if he's been quiet on the point, Gorgug hasn't totally forgotten it. ]

There was something bad hanging around last month. I'm bad at sensing things. I'm okay talking about artificing, but are you-- do you feel anything now? Are we keeping away from it?

[ Is the air still funny? Or is it just too cold? ]
