In Torch, Shaw goes through the team's junk drawer and discovers they've got grenades next to lamps and tons of unsold jewels and shit. She takes to cataloguing everything. The team stocks up on armor, weapons, and accessories while Shaw begins to catalogue this. Alcyone gives Sanvil her ring of counterspell with a cone of cold loaded in it because she realizes she's been wearing too many rings and carrying too much armor.

Shaw also opts to buy some horses and carriages, and everyone is surprised to hear how much money they've been carrying around. Everyone gets a horse of their own.

Alcyone gets Cricket, the 16.1hh silver seal brown varnish roan appaloosa stallion. He is an aggressive 9 year old with a faint star marking on his face, and his four leg markings consist of nothing on his right front leg, a heel on his left front leg, nothing on his right hind leg, and nothing on his left hind leg. He would be best suited for endurance.

Aziza gets Triggerbolt, the 18.1hh bay mare. She is a hot-headed 4 year old with a snip marking on her face, and her four leg markings consist of nothing on her right front leg, a sock on her left front leg, nothing on her right hind leg, and nothing on her left hind leg. She would be best suited for eventing.

Aa'ida gets Amelie, the 15.1hh bay stallion. He is a nervous weanling with a faint star marking on his face, and his four leg markings consist of a coronet on his right front leg, nothing on his left front leg, a sock on his right hind leg, and nothing on his left hind leg. He would be best suited for sidesaddle.

Shaw gets Taffee, the 18.0hh liver chestnut stallion. He is a sweet 5 year old with a star and snip marking on his face, and his four leg markings consist of a pastern on his right front leg, a half pastern on his left front leg, nothing on his right hind leg, and nothing on his left hind leg. He would be best suited for sidesaddle.

Kaya gets Copper, the 17.3hh palomino stallion. He is an experienced 2 year old with a bald face marking on his face, and his four leg markings consist of nothing on his right front leg, nothing on his left front leg, nothing on his right hind leg, and nothing on his left hind leg. He would be best suited for foxhunting.

Silka gets Mugsy, the 15.2hh liver chestnut gelding. He is a mean 2 year old with a star and stripe marking on his face, and his four leg markings consist of a half pastern on his right front leg, a heel on his left front leg, nothing on his right hind leg, and a pastern on his left hind leg. He would be best suited for show jumping.

And Sanvil gets Striker, the 14.0hh bay gelding. He is a bomb-proof 8 year old with a star and snip marking on his face, and his four leg markings consist of a coronet on his right front leg, a sock on his left front leg, nothing on his right hind leg, and a half pastern on his left hind leg. He would be best suited for english pleasure.

The gang rides their horses and carriages through a familiar wood and comes upon a spiky kangaroo creature, which Alcyone tries to adopt to Sanvil's chagrin, and Shaw disables before they move on.

On the second day of travel, Aa'ida, Alcyone, and Sanvil spot some giants up ahead. Sanvil, Alcy, and Aziza creep through the bushes poorly to spy on them — ash giants playing dodgeball with giant stones. They come back and brief the team on ash giants, and hatch a plan for Shaw to head-hop possessing the giants until they attack one another. Instead, as Shaw begins this plan, the giants ultimately give up and leave because they aren't having fun anymore. That's fine.

Somehow this involves into a conversation about androids and whether they're people. Alcyone tries to pivot the conversation to being horny about Sanvil, whereupon everyone learns that (1) Kaya discovered she doesn't feel pain or anything at all via mistakes with masturbation while she was trapped alone on the ship; (2) the first thing Sanvil did with his new body was take his dick for a test-drive, I guess. ~Knowledge is power.~ So androids do, in fact, fuck. (But they can't procreate.)

They arrive in Starfall the next day, and just outside the city, Silka and Shaw disguise the androids effectively (Silka manhandles Sanvil while she does this). The robot guards at the gate demand they declare all their technology. They threaten Alcyone with a rocket launcher because she forgot about her zero rifle. After a poor lie on the part of her and Shaw, she concedes to selling it, and they enter Starfall. They sell the listed items at a high price because Shaw and Aa'ida are skilled negotiators.

Sanvil warns the group that looking like adventurers here might hike all the prices as much as 10x, so they should try not to stand out too much.
