There are a number of details, loose ends and such that I believe we should attempt to address before departing Gwynneth for Snowdown or elsewhere:
-attempt to determine the risk of placing two or more stones in close proximity, both shielded and unshielded if possible
-obtain more quartz boxes if the above experiment is inconclusive or worse
-find a secure location to keep the stones. Carrying them about on our persons seems highly risky especially given the recent ambush; it may be high time to approach the Queen herself to ask about this and other matters.
-a handful of Cursed ones still remain in Macsheean
