[HQ Ignorance] Scene 122: The Tower of the General

[Damien Bosman]

Rikku confers with his comrades, "Although it is dangerous, being made out
of wood and all, I could see if it is possible to create fire (Fire Sight
2W) in this place to use as a distraction. Unless someone has a better
idea?"

Rikku gives a quiet sigh. "I'm really getting sick of these wooden limbs.
Let's be quick about getting out of here. I have a certain vengeance related
agenda I must get back to."
