Secretly A Society Summons You VII
As quickly as you can, you return with refreshments for a “crew” and the tools necessary to start cleaning up the damaged common area. Your curiosity fuels your speedy return.
What is this place? Is Buddy a secret king or the leader of some revolutionary movement? Why were there so many unexploded explosives? What happened to set some of the explosives off last night?
Buddy greets you at the entrance to the common area and interrupts your train of thought to thank you for all the help, and, as if he heard your pondered questions aloud, promises to explain everything very soon. For now, he asks you if you are ready to meet the crew. With your assent, Buddy whisks you into the common area and a waiting crowd.
Before Buddy begins to introduce you to the crew, he steps on top of a wooden crate on the floor. “Friends! This is my very dear friend, {player}!” Buddy pauses for the crowd to all voice a greeting, and then continues. “{player} helped extinguish the fire from last night’s special activity preparations, and then helped me dispose of the other explosives this morning. Now, my dear friend brought us refreshments and tools to begin the great work that lies ahead of us. Please extend your gratitude and a hand of friendship to my friend and a friend to our...organization.”
Barely a breath after finishing his address, Buddy hops off the crate and shepherds you to the waiting crowd. As he introduces you to each member, including many you already know, Buddy distributes the refreshments you brought. Even though the crowd is fairly large, around a hundred people at least, Buddy moves you through the entire group in a matter of minutes. Then, Buddy sits down on the burnt and scarred floor for a quick bite himself. He motions for you to join him as he begins eating.
Buddy pauses between bites and seems to think for a few moments before continuing. Despite his pauses, Buddy finishes eating before you and everyone else. As you continue to enjoy the refreshments, Buddy begins to speak.
“I know I’ve asked a lot of you already, but would you be willing to help us out with restoring the common area to its pre-explosion greatness? While the rest of us are removing all the debris and cleaning everything up, we could really use your help to replace the damaged furniture and some of the artifacts. I promise that after we have finished this project, I will answer all of your questions.”
Buddy gives you a moment to consider, and then flourishes a list as soon as you agree.
