The damage to weapons and armor might have been an oversight on Cain's part, but if the contestants were going to go all out like that, it would be great for business here in the valley. They only had a few weapons and armor vendors right now, but they could have a considerable amount of inventory sent over whenever they wanted from the other crafters' locations.
Cain sent for a replacement armor set for Morgan on his tab, and they headed back to the Manor, frequently stopping to talk to the various friendly people along the way.
Morgan was not interested in a trip to the spa, so instead, they sat in the garden and chatted about the recent changes on the east side of the Central Continent. At the same time, the Puppets brought them experimental recipes to sample. The Orcs were doing well, the Landis Kingdom not as much, but well enough that it was at least not in danger of failing right away.
