Prepotente's whispered pre-battle recitation of names, including Miriam and Bianca, ending on "Ragazzaccia."
Before the breach, Prepotente pulled two potion bottles and began jumping from one foot to the other, muttering under his breath. Carl realized it was a litany of names — he recognized Miriam and Bianca among them, plus several others he didn't catch.
The litany ended on "Ragazzaccia," a name or word Carl didn't recognize at all. Then Prepotente looked up and declared, "I am ready for battle, Carl."
