Strix tries to intimidate him and rolls a 27. Ketchup wants to play Diath in dragonchess. Paultin claims Diath can win blindfolded. Strix tears off a piece of her dress and makes sure that Diath can see through it.

Ketchup points out that of all of Rosie's children, Strix is the most powerful, and it would be likely that Strix could take Rosie's place if she wanted.
