| Garland | How do we split them up then? |
| Drizz'l | Simple. I get the Earth Orb because of the whole elven thing. Bikke gets the Water Orb. And you two get the orbs that're so thematically appropriate to each of you that I don't need to specify which they are. |
| Garland | Uh...so, I get... Fire? Because I'm such a hothead? |
| Drizz'l | Yeah, sure, why not. |
| Vilbert | Air? What am I going to do with the Air Orb? I don't actually breathe! In character. |
| Drizz'l | These things are tied to metaphorical applications as well. |
| Drizz'l | You've probably got influence over knowledge or communication there. Maybe travel? |
| Bikke | Now, I be thinking travel be under the purview of the Orb what be of Water, |
| Drizz'l | I'll grant you trade and commerce, so travels for those purposes would qualify as well. |
| Drizz'l | But not traveling as a whole. |
| Bikke | Well, we be seein' what The Claw has to say 'bout that! |
| Drizz'l | Nothing! It's a prop and it's stupid! |
| Bikke | Ye didn't have to yell! |
| Garland | And you said we wouldn't need his tote. |
