[ Five doesn't want to elaborate, and he doesn't right away as he takes in that next bit of information. It's kind of a big revelation that their superstitions actually served a purpose. Although that might be giving them too much credit. Their beliefs don't line up perfectly with what Wrath was able to find out.

They're lucky Wrath was the one to find the mirror. It probably taken the rest of them longer to piece that together. ...Never mind that Five is looking to stop the sacrifices to fix his own curse. That's only a little awkward after hearing this. ]

There was an incident while you were gone. Although we never really traced it back to the Beastmaster, the timing was suspicious to when he arrived. [ How to say this while not saying this. ] It wasn't exactly like Taravast, but some people were caught up in a hunt.

[ Definitely not Five. He hasn't apologized for that yet, so technically he's supposed to be pretending it didn't happen.

But back to this... ]

You think if they keep making sacrifices, it will buy them time?
