tl;dr edit edit source

Erin wakes up on their travels to a nearby Fraerling city feeling better than ever for some reason.
Reaching Lemoste-Under-Cliffs they see that the city has been attack learning it to have been from magical ants exiting the Dyed Lands en-masse.
While the fighters of the group leave with the Tallguard of Lemoste to battle against the ant hives Erin, Ulvama and Matha walk throughout the city doing what they can to help out the citizens.
Feeling the negative emotions coming from Ulvama and the citizens of Lemoste, Erin gathers up a few things plus Bowom to begin singing to the onlooking crowd.
Finished with her hours long performance, Erin and Ulvama felt happy enough for now not worrying about the goings of the greater world.

Ulvama wakes up in a neutral state in order not to awaken Erin with her emotions jumping off the Corumdon Beetle meeting with the other early risers discussing about how close they are to their destination of Lemoste-Under-Cliffs and Erin's deteriorating health. They then suddenly feel Erin's presence as she wakes up, meeting with the [Innkeeper] she expresses feeling better and does her morning fights with the Brawling Duo using the galas muscle in her legs, after getting thoroughly beaten Erin sits down to eat what for breakfast wondering what's the cause for her newfound health.

Reaching Lemoste, the group comes to see that the secretive village has become exposed after an attack of some sort with its stone walls being utterly wrecked, a Tallguard from Lemoste approach the group demanding to see their eyes as they are transferred to a scanning area. Leafin tells them that they won't be able to send help if their village was overrun and that they need fighters above level 40 to fight against the ant. Speaking with Tiregal they learn that the magical ants have exited en-masse from the Dyed Lands with a massive hive that zoned in onto the city, the fighters of the group are sent out while Erin and the other non-combatants stay behind but they are then detained by a group of Tallguard for Erin's level 50 status and Bowom's criminal history.

Erin is restless while touring Lemoste while they see the shock or determined visage on the Fraerlings, not being able to help much with the [Healers] taking care of those problems they try to think about ways that they can help the citizens there like a [Witch] or [Shaman] would. Erin, Ulvama and Matha go on to give food and the charms they've made to a family of [Carpenters] and Eitine who points them to where they can donate their mana to the city. After a few more visits and a poor incident with a frightened child, the three think on how else they should help but Ulvama doesn't feel like going out anymore going to sleep leaving the other two to go out on their own.

Walking through the city Erin feels something like a connection to others feeling their emotions unsure of what is happening to her, they approach a tired group of Tallguard giving them some sandwiches and Erin notices that she is doing something that is able to affect the taste of the food. With an idea coming to mind, she tells Matha of her plan and gathers Bowom, musical instruments, and some magical tools to play music for the crowd of onlookers. Ulvama was trying to doze off when she hears music from above, hearing it get louder and the welling of positive emotions she runs outside towards the amphitheater almost about to toss a shoe at Erin until she witnesses the [Innkeeper] singing and the other two playing their instruments, the [Shaman] watches on pulling on the threads of the crowd towards her magic. The Fraerlings the others sent out to fight return back in a sour mood with Mera complain about what Erin is doing but it told to shut as it does good for the city, Erin finished with her performance returns her boon skill back to Nerry and meets with Ulvama with the Goblin getting it out of the [Innkeeper] that she pulled that stunt for her. The two leave to walk through the city happy enough for now.
