== Synopsis ==

== 📖 Synopsis of Chapter 8.35 ==
This chapter of ''The Wandering Inn'' focuses on multiple plotlines across the world:

* '''Fraerling Battle at Paeth:''' The city of Paeth is overwhelmed by refugees from the fallen city of Oierdressql, who are being relentlessly pursued by predators and a magical rat swarm. The Human, Luan, helps the Tallguard defend the Fraerlings. Paeth is forced to use its high-level defensive enchantments and Adamantium-armored '''Crelerbreakers''' to fight the attack, exposing their city to the world.
* '''Ryoka and Rhisveri:''' Ryoka, having been transported into the lair of Rhisveri Zessoprical, a powerful '''Wyrm''' in Ailendamus, attempts to negotiate for a valuable scroll. Rhisveri initially sees her as a thief sent by a rival Dragon/Wyrm and is enraged, especially because she is covered in the pheromones of another female Wyrm, '''Sikeri'''. Ryoka manages to shock him into listening by invoking the name of the Faerie King, '''Oberon'''.
* '''The Antinium Army:''' Olesm, the [Strategist] of Liscor, is leading a newly formed army (including Humans, Gnolls, Drakes, and Antinium [Crusaders]) into battle against Hectval's alliance. He discovers his Antinium [Crusaders] possess a terrifying Skill, '''[Combined Skill: Wrath of the Righteous]''', which causes their enemies to break and run before contact.
* '''The "Fellowship" Travels:''' The rag-tag group traveling with '''Bird''' and the diminutive '''Titan Niers Astoragon''' begins to organize. Niers, hidden in Bird's hat, secretly directs the group to use their classes effectively, prompting the [Soulbard] '''Numbtongue''' to play marching music and the [Shaman] '''Ulvama''' to apply her magical paints.
* '''Earthers and Goblins:''' At Goblinhome, the Earther '''Kevin''' is showing off his athleticism on a magic skateboard, becoming a local celebrity, while the Goblin Chieftain '''Rags''' and her lieutenants, like '''Poisonbite''', continue to prepare for war and learn about Earth from him.

== 💖 Romantic or Sexual Exchanges ==
The chapter contains one significant and non-consensual '''sexual/romantic context''' moment, primarily involving '''Ryoka and Rhisveri''':

* '''Sikeri's Mating Pheromones:''' Ryoka is unknowingly covered in '''mating pheromones''' from the female Wyrm, '''Sikeri''' (whom she met earlier in the story). This causes Rhisveri to react with intense anger and suspicion, believing she is a ploy by a rival.
* '''Non-consensual Stripping and Inspection:''' During their confrontation, Rhisveri '''strips Ryoka naked''' using magic to search for a hidden artifact or spell. He then rotates her for inspection, dismissively stating, "Relax, thing. There is absolutely nothing I could be interested in," indicating a lack of sexual interest in her species but demonstrating a deeply violating and aggressive act of dominance.
* '''Wyrm Rivalry:''' The Wyrm Rhisveri reveals that he smells Ryoka's pheromones and believes the '''"last female Wyrm died ''ages'' ago,"''' suggesting a deep-seated loneliness and complex relationship with his kin that colors his reaction to Ryoka.
