In this short scene, we learn that the party is on their way to Mildian, the birthplace of Master Malvolio. They're in a hurry to get there, and they're stopping at a nearby clearing to say goodbye. Everyone should board as soon as they can, since it's "a hurried farewell" , but everyone should take care of themselves, since "they're so mean" . They don't really know what's going on, since they haven't heard the news yet, but they do know that they've reached "maximum speed" and that the enemy is using magic to destroy them. They can't believe the enemy would use magic to kill them, since swords are so slow and fragile. They also learn that they can use their magic to link two points in space, which is forbidden for those who use time to protect it. They wonder why they havent done this before, since magic is supposed to protect time.
