Secretly A Society Summons You VI

You return with the lanterns, and Buddy has quickly and efficiently setup a containment area in the common room. As you bring more lighting in the room, the damage to the room seems to be immense. You're surprised the entire room hasn't collapsed where the explosion created a gaping hole that is covered in dirt and stone.

The room is lavishly decorated, more reminiscent of something out of a novel than anything you expected. Extremely fancy chairs, tables, and chests are arrayed across the common room, the walls are draped in fine purple silks and murals and paintings of various people you don't recognize, except one - a picture of Buddy is displayed prominently near the edge of the room, close to the cave in.

Before you can ask more questions, Buddy quickly begins shuffling small conical devices towards the container and wordlessly motions you towards the corridor as he sees you surveying the room.

The process takes an hour, but Buddy for all his bluster, seems very adept at this process. Each device goes in the box, followed by a sphere, and a small popping sound follows as the timer hits zero. A little smoke wafts out of the box, and he moves onto the next. The process is impressively efficient.

Buddy finally takes a seat on a chair after the process is over, sweat on his brow. It looks like he could use some refreshments. As you mention it Buddy gives you a big smile, "Yeah, the crew will need a lot to dig this mess back out, bring some extra!"

The crew?
