Chapter 6 Summary: “Osric Wishes to Murder a Child: Osric”
Osric goes to the Harmacy (the Fyren Order’s current makeshift stronghold, which is masquerading as a pharmacy). He meets with the Order’s second-in-command, Sacramore, and they flirt. When he is about to go meet Tristane, the Order’s chief, Sacramore warns him of her terrible mood. After Osric reports on his latest job and accepts a new one, Tristane remarks on his absence on Thursday night—the day he had been with Aurienne. She berates him, but only lightly, because she favors Osric. They discuss the fact that the Dreor Order has become all but extinct ever since the Fyrens’ latest war with them. They then speak of Noldo, a former Fyren whom Tristane plans to execute because he grew a conscience and refused to kill someone.
As Osric leaves, Osric encounters his colleagues, Lady Windermere and Brythe. (Brythe was the one who injured Osric’s spine.) Now, Osric watches the two drag away a captive for a session of interrogation and torture. Suddenly, Aurienne’s deofol then arrives to inform him that Aurienne has set their next healing location and time: the Rummy Thing waystone on the night of the Hara moon.
