Hunters attack a Tier 1 pinnacle blazard—thick-skinned—because its fire gland is the prize and red lotuses can remake rootbones. One volunteer shouts, "I'm bait, you go for the throat!" and draws the beast while the other moves in to take the gland. During the assault feedback surges and a team member suddenly gains fire power, upending their plan. They regroup amid uncertainty; the immediate threat isn't fully resolved, and they head back promising Wendy a return gift, but whether the gland was secured and what the new power will mean remains unknown.
