A groan escaped Ein's lips as he tried to raise his head from the table.
"Ugh..." He looked around while holding his head, scanning the wide hall full of unmoving bodies. "... What?"
He felt his blood run cold upon seeing the disastrous scene. Checking the nearby corpse, the almost corpse-like sleeping dwarf, Drake. He was still breathing and had a pulse, making Ein sigh in relief.
"Hurk..." But as he moved, he felt a splitting headache and became nauseous.
Inside the hall, everyone was down for the count. Only Nayta and Melina, who retired early, the two aides Lilith and Michelle, and Althea were missing from the scene.
"... Water..."
Following his instincts, he tried scouring the table for something to drink but couldn't find anything. Exasperated, he tried reaching for his waist pouch, about to buy something to relieve him of the pain, but it wasn't there.
"What...?"
