Rita had impaled him with a sword. [He gestures to his chest.] It was not enough to kill him, obviously. Once Lambert recovered, he determined we could use the opportunity to obtain information from Ignatius.

So, I... used the Athenaeum's magic to make him speak, and Rita displayed it with her book. [He shifts slightly on his feet.] We learned a little more about how the Courts have been pursuing the carnival, for how long, and the Summer Court's stance on the Ringmaster.

[There's almost a moment to give Strange a chance to ask about that, but Syrlya decides quickly to just get through the story first.] Then Lambert decided to share him memories of the pain that some of the carnival members have experienced at the hands of the Fae using Rita's book. AFter that, the Ringmaster arrived and swallowed Ignatius and we returned to the carnival.
