[the three of them are able to have a seat. the food is before them, and as they begin to eat it warms them and they feel some of the aches and pains subside just a little. the world outside is still falling apart, the occasional crash heard in the street but no one comes to bother them. nothing approaches them. they can enjoy one meal together in silence, a solemn solidarity they may or may not have wished to have.
as they eat the meal, they find their eyelids begin to droop. they feel a little too relaxed...sleepy, even. the adrenaline has worn off and exhaustion settles in their bones with their weapons, items, and injuries all in tact. their movements are slow, and it's the same feeling of suspended freefall despite sitting still.
peacefully, all three of them drift off to sleep...
...when they next awaken, they find themselves in the sorcerer's tower. the room looks to be about the same as they left it, except the world outside is nearly pitch black. the candles burn and flicker, the book on the table still wide open and the tower still empty as before. behind them, the chalkboard has a new message.]
Your hurting will be mended, when they return to end it.
[the tower is eerily silent. on the table next to the book sits a treasure chest.]
