We loot and take horses and seer of apes and monkeys which are Deng and Lumumba back to Ruins of Tower of Hurit. Loot all boring, armour and weapons and money and magical bow. Nothing Kwaku want. Jowca say to leave bodies and his friends take care of them. Jowca ask if we give seer to his friends and we have no problem.
Lumumba seem to want to throw poo at others so we lock him and Deng in cage til they not monkeys anymore.
Medhuil, daughter of Tecca says she can restore them and we wait for her to prepare magical ritual. Rod of Baryc not restore those it turn into monkeys. Kwaku wonder if Deng and Lumumba better as monkeys. They do good tricks and Kwaku nearer to Monkey Mage. But Near-Brother good to Kwaku so maybe he should be a siv again. Maybe Deng be made a siv too. Kwaku ask Medhuil when she cast spell!
