In his frustration, Thomas quickly built a tower out of the barrels on the boat and climbed on top of it. He was trying to get a better view of the hidden island through his mask.

As you gather the last item, Star appears before you in a shower of feathers yet again. He really loves that spell.
“Oh! Excellent, you’ve gotten the base materials! I knew you were the right person for the job. Now, I need to make a new staff, you know, for bigger magic. Big magic requires a lot of gems, could you fetch me some materials so I can make something worthy of my station? I don't want any Lemon Quartz though.”
Star hands you a second list, and all the previous materials (and Star) disappear without a trace. Except a lot of feathers and one wizard hat.

*poof*
As you put the last piece of Magicite down, Star again appears as if he has been watching you the whole time. Very strange, and he really does love that spell. Feathers, feathers everywhere.
“I’m out of feathers, would you mind collecting some more for me while I get to work on this staff? I can’t teleport anymore!”
Star begins to walk, stops, looks at you and laughs, then teleports away in a shower of feathers.
“Just kidding! But seriously, running low on feather juice!” Star’s voice floats in the air in a very odd and melodic way.
Well, you’ve done this much, hopefully the reward is worth it, time to get some feathers.
Farming:75
From:Star Meerif
You put all the feathers in the bucket and wait expectantly for Star to arrive, but nothing happens.
Turning away, you hear a muffled scream from behind, and suddenly flashes of gold and white feathers encircle the room.
“WHY WOULD YOU PUT FEATHERS IN A BUCKET TODAY?!”
You see him one leg in the bucket, feathers in his hair, scrambling to regain his balance. Oops.
After a few moments, Star composes himself, mumbling under his breath about the paradoxical nature of feathers and their location in the timestream’s quantum blue spectrum relative to Wednesdays.
“Anyways…I was thinking, I should probably redecorate. The damage was severe enough that things look awfully messy in there. Mind helping me out, friend? I need to run another quick errand while you’re doing that.”
Star hands you ANOTHER list and poofs away in a shower of feathers.
Bedroom, Living Room, Study
-Antlers to adorn the living room
-Flowers for various plants and spells
-Prism Shards to adorn the ceiling
-Treasure Chests filled with coins
-Shields for inside protection
-Pipes one for each multiverse day of the week
-A new bed
-A desk
-Books to write his thoughts and spells in
Farming:75
From:Star Meerif
You know the drill at this point, feathers, sudden appearances, strange jokes…the usual.
Star looks gleefully at the things you’ve collected and mutters under his breath something about giving a mile, and hands you another piece of parchment.
“You’ve been quite helpful, the damage Geist has done should mostly be repaired at this point, but my kitchen and cellar were damaged by fire also! Could you help me restoc- I mean restore these too?”
Star looks thoughtful for a moment and takes the parchment back and scribbles something at the bottom of the list.
He hands the list back which reads:
Shopping List:
Golden Veggies - a variety of nutritious foods
Oranges - delicious and fight scurvy!
Milk - does a body good
Eggs - part of a nutritious breakfast
Bacon - it’s so hard to find right now!
Flour - For baking and making bread
Honey - For baking and bread
Wine - for those lazy nights reading magical theory
Cheese - for the wine
Steak - the market’s probably stable right now
Kabobs - perfect for grilling after Friday
Scribbled at the bottom:
ABSOLUTELY NO LEMONS!

From:Star Meerif
Did you just give me a lemon when I explicitly said not to? Did I not write “No lemons!” in all capital letters on my list? You’ve violated one of my most inviolable rules – don’t bring me things I don’t want! Especially lemons! So, you get nothing! You lose! Good day!

Star returns early, seemingly quite impatient about something…
Once you’ve collected all of the things for his moat, they instantly disappear, and he focuses his attention on Rosalie.
“So, you’ve had time to consider what I’ve written, would you like to see where this can lead?”
Rosalie seems anxious and unsure of what to do. After a few moments, she begins pacing around, for a split second you get the impression she might leave without saying anything. Finally she stops pacing, straightens up and gives Star a firm look and replies, “I am ready to see…”
Star gives her a reassuring smile and looks to you.
“Friend, one last request, can you bring me a wizard hat, for Rosalie?”
Farming:75
From:Star Meerif
As you realize you’ve finished restocking Star’s food stores, you notice Rosalie walking up to your farm. She greets you and asks you for the letter Star said you had for her.
At the mention of Star’s name, he immediately poofs beside you and extends his hand to Rosalie.
“Oh, I’m sure that letter’s been long lost at this point, I made an extra one just for you!”
He hands Rosalie the letter and turns around to hand you some parchment.
You set to work on what you hope to be the final task, and notice Rosalie deep in thought, and of course Star is nowhere to be seen, again.
The Coolest Moat In The History Of Moats
Puffer – look cool in a gang to attract attention
Clownfish – disarm your foe with cuteness
Giant Squid – eat your foe
Octopus - If the squids don't scare you...
Mussel – they look kinda intimidating?
A drawbridge - obviously
That’s… a big moat.

From:Star Meerif
Star produces a staff from inside his robes and offers it to Rosalie along with the hat and a strange ring.
“We will use these to help focus your talent,” he says solemnly.
Star motions for you to step backwards and whispers a few things in Rosalie’s ear you can’t hear, but one thing you can.
“…it’s only my favorite tower, after all."
Rosalie gulps visibly and lifts the staff with a determined look on her face. She begins to close her eyes and mumbles something incoherently. Stars’ attention is now riveted on the tower.
A minute passes and nothing seems to be happening, and as you look to the tower, you can’t help but feel a little disappointed for Rosalie.
After another minute, Star takes an appraising look at Rosalie and adjusts her stance slightly. Rosalie is so deeply in a trance; she doesn’t seem to notice at all. Star whispers something in Rosalie’s ear again, and her eyes open wide as she cries out:
“LIBERO!!!!!!!”
A rush of wind follows her words, and with a sound like peeling thunder and a giant flash, the tower is suddenly whole again!
Rosalie cries out in surprise, while Star exclaims “I KNEW IT!” and dances excitedly beside you both.
After a few minutes of celebration, Star gently takes the staff back from a stunned Rosalie and offers it to you.
"This, this will stay with you. Hopefully, no one has need of it, but if they do, I know where to come. Keep it secret, keep it safe."
Star hands Rosalie a second letter, and with a flourish and a thank you, he disappears without a trace (except feathers). Rosalie, still in a bit of a daze, says her goodbyes and walks quietly from your farm, while you are left to clean up the mess of feathers everywhere.
From:Rosalie
She isn’t sure how she knows, but Rosalie is absolutely certain that the horse standing shyly by her porch wants a haircut.
The horse came up, looked at the ground for a bit, and then flipped his mane and neighed quietly. Like lightning, an impression came to Rosalie that the horse’s name is Charles, he’s shy, and he wants a haircut. Then, Charles pushed a variety of items toward Rosalie for payment.
Unfortunately, Rosalie’s scissors are pretty dull right now. Will you bring her a nice new, sharp pair of scissors?

Every detail could be important.

Lorn needs help.
He followed the dragon until he got close to town. Then, explosions rang out from every direction. Lorn retreated back to the edge of the woods to find cover. There wasn’t much to see from where he was, but several of the houses in the distance looked to be damaged and the sky was orange towards town.
Once the explosions stopped, Lorn searched for the dragon and eventually found a trail of dragon blood a few hundred meters from Beatrix’s house, leading to a little stand of trees. Among the trees, Lorn found the dragon half conscious with its wings completely shredded. Unfortunately, that wasn’t the worst of it. Lorn also found several large wounds in the dragon’s side.
Lorn covered the dragon with branches and foliage, but he doesn’t think that cover will pass a close inspection. Will you and Thomas gather some things to hide the dragon while Lorn takes Vincent and Holger to make sure no one comes near the dragon?

When Lorn, Holger, and Vincent got to the stand of trees where Lorn left the dragon, there was nothing there except branches, leaves, and the evidence of a wounded dragon, but no dragon. Lorn and the other men split up in three directions and fanned outward from the stand of trees. There was no sign of the dragon except it’s trail leading to the trees where Lorn left it.
Now, Lorn and Holger are going to town to see what happened, and to see if anyone needs help. Thomas will go with them. Lorn would like you and Vincent to go check Beatrix’s house, just in case the dragon went back there.

Putting the parchment on the ground, Vincent makes a brief sketch of the area you’re heading.
He notes down some significant areas:
- Whispering Creek
- Jundland Desert
- Sinking Swamp
- Unknown Lands
“We’re going to the Unknown Lands and looking for Castrum Romuska, which is an old abandoned castle. The journey shouldn’t take more than a few days, let’s ensure we have everything we need – speaking of, let’s pack some food and travelling cloaks for the journey and be on our way!”
He hands you a second parchment with what else to pack.

Your journey takes many days. The horses require reshoeing, the cloaks need repairing, but overall your trip is remarkably uneventful thanks to Vincent's excellent guidance and leadership.
In a moment of curiosity, your group tried to veer off the path to see the famed Whispering Creek. Even with Vincent guiding you, the location evaded your party, even as you looked at the map. Well, another problem for another time.
As your journey continues, Vincent constantly scouts ahead for new information, while you discover that George has a pleasant singing voice. He also enjoys sharing stories from his days as a soldier, and has a great knack for storytelling.

As you crest another hill, you see a castle in the distance. Sunlight spills off the castle in odd directions, giving it a luminescent and odd gleam as you walk towards it. You can see familiar workings of steam and crystal, but as you get closer you see more gears and contraptions that are odd to your eyes. As you approach the front gate, a voice suddenly pierces the air!
“GOOD DAY! WHAT IS IT YOU REQUIRE?”
The voice is very odd, and always carries the same intonation. It’s very uncomfortable on your ears. Vincent steps forward and tells the gate they wish to enter.
After a long pause, the voice returns:
“REQUEST NOTED. ENTRY WILL BE GRANTED AFTER SERVICES RENDERED.”
There emits a buzzing noise from the gate and a small piece of parchment emits from a slot with the words:
ENTRY TICKET/Front Gate Repairs
“PLEASE TURN ALL REQUIRED MATERIALS IN TO THE REQUIRED RECEPTACLE.”
Exploring:68
From:Vincent
As you bring back the materials, a slot opens where you’re able to deposit them all. A tattered gate swings open, and by both the creaking and grinding, you conclude the castle has seen better days. Those materials are going to be useful to…whomever needed them.
“WELCOME TRAVELERS TO CASTLE ROMUSKA! I AM ROMUSKA’S ONLY OFFICIAL MAINTENANCE BAYESIAN AUTOMATON. IT HAS BEEN MANY CYCLES SINCE I HAVE SEEN HUMANS ENTER. PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME AND PURPOSE.”
Vincent again steps forward and proclaims confidently, “My name is Vincent and I am travelling with my companions at the behest of another. We are here seeking the energy stone. We come in peace.”
Again, there is a long pause between Vincent’s statement and a response.
“THANK YOU FOR VISITING THE CASTLE, PLEASE NOTE REPAIRS ARE REQUIRED TO ACCESS THE AREA YOU HAVE IMPLIED. I WILL GUIDE YOU TO YOUR DESTINATION.”
On your right, an extremely long parchment emits from a slot in the very odd shaped walls.

You see an open slot in the wall next to what appears to be the front door. The door has certainly deteriorated. Some of the metal on the front of the door seems to have rusted through, you can see rotting boards underneath. The door handle is ready to fall off. You’re pretty sure, just like with the gate, that you have to put the repair materials in the slot next to the door.
Exploring:68
From:Vincent
Immediately after dropping the repair materials in the slot, the front door very slowly begins to creak open inward.
As it starts to open, the location the previous voice came from emits what sounds simply like “WHOOSH”. When you turn to look in that direction, the voice states: “THE DOOR HAS MALFUNCTIONED AND IS NO LONGER CAPABLE OF CREATING THE ‘WHOOSH’ SOUND. IT IS MY RESPONSIBILITY TO ATTEND TO THE FAILINGS OF THIS FACILITY."
With directions in tow, you, George, and Vincent head to the foyer. It is at once both a testament to the castle’s long-gone opulence and current despondent and abandoned nature. As you make your way through the room, gems cover the ceiling and walls to create strange patterns. There are paintings, decorations, and other valuable looking items every which way you look. As you look to your comrades, Vincent seems unfazed, but George’s eyes are alight with wonder.
To each side of the hallway, you see several doors that appear to have been very well kept. They are labeled strangely, matching what you see on the parchment: ROOM 0001B, and below this, you read what appears to be a person’s name on each door.
At the end of the foyer, a steel door covered in plush material stands in your way. A slot in the door opens and a broken looking eye extends out.
“WELCOME TO ROOM 0001A, BIOLOGICAL ENTITIES HAVE TITLED THIS ‘HALLWAY A’. DOOR 0001J HAS HAD ITS OBSERVATIONAL MATRIX DAMAGED DUE TO DISREPAIR AND DISUSE. PLEASE PROVIDE THE REQUISITE MATERIALS TO MOVE FORWARD.”
Exploring:68
From:Vincent
Once you have deposited the materials for whatever the “observational matrix” is, the door opens. Inside, you see a rather plain hallway. The room numbers are still on every door, but you also see familiar words, like “kitchen” and “library”. This section of the building looks to have been well kept, similar to the rooms in the previous hallway. You notice that everything that seems to be used by people has been maintained, while all of the mysterious things like “observational matrix” have been left in disrepair.
At the far end of the hallway, another broken looking eye comes out of the door saying, “THE GRAVITATIONAL POSITRONIC MATRIX HAS MALFUNCTIONED IN THE NEXT SECTION. PLEASE PROVIDE THE REQUISITE MATERIALS TO MOVE FORWARD.”
Exploring:68
From:Vincent
In the next hallway, you see an Infirmary and a Storage Closet. You also see a door at the end of the hallway. There are two slots in a metal plate next to the door, which is labelled “Elevator”. Rummaging through the things you have with you, you notice that moonstones would fit perfectly in these slots.
Exploring:68
From:Vincent
Once you have placed the stones in the metal panel, the door slides to one side. The now familiar eye comes down from the ceiling, and tells you, “PLACE LUNAR MATERIAL IN THE BOTTOM TWO OPENINGS TO ACCESS FLOOR 2.”
Looking inside the strange contraption, you see another metal plate, with 16 openings, exactly like the ones you placed the moonstones in that opened this door.
Exploring:68
From:Vincent
As you place the first stone, it begins to glow faintly, and the door slides closed. Once you have placed the second stone, both orbs glow. Nothing else happens, and you, George, and Vincent all look at each other, wondering what to do next. The eye extends and says, “PRESS THE BUTTON FOR THE FLOOR YOU DESIRE TO ATTEND TO.”
You reach out a hand, and press the button labelled “2”. Nothing happens. The eye says, “YOU NEED TO PAY THE TOLL.” You notice a slot that is labeled “TOKENS HERE”.
After a moment, George suggests that some of the ancient coins he's seen you carry around match the size of the open slot, and shrugging, you provide them.

The elevator stops and with a pleasant ding, the doors slide open to reveal a dilapidated office clearly in need of repair. A machine is sitting at the desk, with what seem to be wires running from a sphere into the robot in a very haphazard manner.
“ - I WILL BE FORCED TO CONTACT THE ROMUSKAN AUTHORI - “
The robot eye moves towards you and you see it focus and unfocus quickly.
“AH YES, WELCOME TO THE MAIN OFFICE OF ROMUSKA CASTLE - AS YOU CAN SEE - WE HAVE A BIT OF A MAINTENANCE PROBLEM. IF YOU WOULD BE SO KIND AS TO CLEAN UP AND GIVE ME 134,217,728 SILVER, I WOULD GLADLY BE RID OF THE PROBLEMS OF THIS CASTLE AND THIS WORTHLESS ENERGY CORE THAT HAS STOPPED ME FROM COMPLETING MY TASKS.”

From:Vincent
While you retrace your steps back to the entrance, ROOMBA continues to list off problems with each area, and you hope it is quieter for the final journey home.
“ROOM 0011A NEEDS 256 RUBIES, ROOM 0001J REQUIRES 512 MOONSTONES, 1024 GOLDEN FEATHER, AND 2048 JADE...ROOM 0001A REQUIRES...CALCULATING...2047 LEMON QUARTZ...ODDITY DETECTED…” ROOMBA whirrs and becomes mercifully silent.
As you approach the gate, you see that it is closed and George groans a bit to your side. You stand there for a moment before ROOMBA speaks up again.
“YOU WILL REQUIRE AN EXIT FEE TO LEAVE THE PREMISES. WHEN VALUE IS TAKEN, VALUE MUST BE GIVEN. ROMUSKAN VALUE CLAUSE 1 SECTION 3 SUBSECTION 3 PARAGRAPH 7.”
A piece of parchment spits out near the gate -
“Value of ROOMBA”

From:Star Meerif
As you hand over your hard earned money, the robot begins to shut down.
POOF
A familiar voice emits from the cloud of feathers that have suddenly enveloped the area.
“…knocked the calibrator off by 0.0004 seconds for detecting aetherial fluctuations south of Whispering Creek. All because something finally drove this robot to despair, then sentience, and then extinguished its life so quickly that it nearly spun out a new multiverse. What have you done this time Vincent?!”’
Star gives Vincent a withering gaze that you swear could burn a hole right through him. Vincent, to his credit, seems very unalarmed with his response to Star.
“Ah yes, I was told you might try to interfere. The...automaton wanted money in exchange for this ‘energy core’, which we gladly provided. An exchange of services has been rendered and I got what I came for. What law have we broken?”
Star glares for another moment before conceding, “Well, no law has been broken, but EVERYTHING is the issue! That sphere was all that was keeping that poor insane robot going! You’ve basically ended this robots's life for your selfish needs! And on a Tuesday!”
Star pauses for a moment, gathering his thoughts.
“That’s okay, I happen to know these little guys run better on ethanol anyways. If you bring me some corn and runes, we can have him better than new, and no longer tethered to this desk!”
Exploring:68
From:Star Meerif
You give the runes and corn to Star and he sweeps across the room, cloak billowing behind him, and fiddles with the robot in ways that you don’t quite understand. After a few minutes, you hear the whirring of machinery.
"REBOOT SUCCESSFUL. ROOMBA V8.2 OPERATIONAL. TEMPORARY MEMORY CORE DAMAGED. TEMPORARY MEMORY FLUSHED. LONG-TERM MEMORY STABLE. DIAGNOSTICS BEGINNING. DIRECTIVE: REPAIR, MAINTAIN AND CORRUPTED DATA DETECTED. SERVOS: OPERATIONAL. POWER UNIT: CALCULATING ... RUNNING BEYOND OPTIMUM EXPECTATIONS. SENTIENCE: RE-ACHIEVED IN 17.32 MILLISECONDS."
The robot looks towards you, and you get the sense that even Star did not fully expect what just transpired.
“GREETINGS FELLOW HUMANS AND STAR, I AM ROMUSKA’S ONLY OFFICIAL MAINTENANCE BAYESIAN AUTOMATON, A PLEASURE TO MEET YOU. YOU MAY CALL ME ROOMBA! AND MAY I SAY, I FEEL FANTASTIC!”
Star gives one of those odd mysterious grins and a sidelong glance at Vincent, “Well I can see that I’ve done some good this day, shoulda thought of that ethanol idea sooner.” He pauses and continues, “ROOMBA, Romuska has seen much decline, while these visitors have a town that could use your expertise, perhaps you could join them and help teach them about maintenance, now that you have your mobility back?”
ROOMBA whirrs and clicks in a very odd manner before responding, “YES, I COULD SEE THIS BEING MUTUALLY BENEFICIAL. I WILL NEED MORE NEW FUEL SOURCE - CORN - EVENTUALLY, AND ROMUSKA HAS BEEN DESERTED FOR - “ Star coughs unexpectedly making the robot jump, “ - A WHILE.”
“PERHAPS WE COULD FIX THIS ONE LAST ROOM, FOR OLD TIMES SAKE, AND BE OFF?”
Looking around, this room is in the most disrepair of any room you’ve seen so far, but having Roomba around could be a boon to the town, so you set to work.
When you turn around Star has disappeared, with a shower of feathers in his wake.
Exploring:68
From:ROOMBA
As Star does his usual disappearing act, Roomba bursts into action, cleaning feathers quicker than you’ve accustomed yourself to seeing, and with tools you weren't expecting either. The whirring and cleaning of ROOMBA and the oddness of the office are a very strange sight.
After a few moments Roomba stops and speaks, “THANK YOU FOR THE LAST OPPORTUNITY TO RID MYSELF OF THIS CURSED CASTLE. PERHAPS HUMANS WILL BE MORE RESPECTFUL IN MY NEW HOME."
After you provide Roomba with the materials to fix up the Romuskan office, you get back on the elevator, noting the up/down requires more tokens, a very odd system if you want to get anywhere in a hurry, you think to yourself.
Exploring:68
From:Vincent
After the coin is deposited, the final gate creaks open, repairs don't seem to have been implemented yet. Your party in tow, you step across the portcullis and alarm bells begin to ring and a different voice cuts through the alarm bells
ALERT! ALERT! ALERT! ALERT! ALERT! ALERT!
UNAUTHORIZED REMOVAL OF ENERGY CORE AND ONE LEMON QUARTZ, DEPOSIT MATERIAL OF EQUAL ENERGY OR YOU WILL BE INCINERATED.
Sheepishly, George produces one Lemon Quartz he found 'particularly stunning' from his pocket.
An unseen and very well maintained set of bars arise around you, and another parchment of requests is stuck to the bars.Exploring:68
From:ROOMBA
You provide the materials on the list and leave them in a convenient receptacle as quickly as possible.
Your party leaves quickly from the castle after this, before anything else strange happens. Vincent suggests you build a wagon for ROOMBA to travel with you on, as well as a harness for the horses, and you begin the long journey back to the town. Luckily, you have a majority of the provisions you need, but ROOMBA requires more corn for the journey home.
Exploring:68
From:Vincent
As your group with ROOMBA in tow begins the long journey home, Vincent is elated at your success at obtaining the energy core, while George seems a bit deflated and shaken from your adventure. ROOMBA however, seems to have boundless energy and asks many questions, to which none of you seem to be able to sate its curiosity.
“WHO CLEANS THIS AREA? DOES THE WAGON REQUIRE MAINTENANCE? WHAT IS A STAR MEERIF? HOW MANY OCEANS ARE LEFT? DOES YOUR TOWN HAVE COGWHEELS? I LOVE COGWHEELS. AND CORN. DO YOU HAVE CORN? MY NEW POSITRONIC ETHANOL RUNESTONE DESIRES MORE CORN. I HAVE A FEW MORE ELEVATOR TOKENS, IF YOU WANT.”
It seems the only time that ROOMBA will go silent is when you give it corn, so you provide it with more.
Exploring:70
From:Cecil
The rest of your journey is uneventful. ROOMBA is mercifully silent as long as you give him corn at regular intervals, George continues to play music at your campfires, and Vincent dutifully scouts and protects the camp from any wayward brigands or animals.
You arrive in town one evening and are taken aback when Vincent leads you towards Cecil’s house. Surprisingly, Cecil is waiting at the window and rushes out to greet you. He invites you all inside and asks you to recount your tale.
Cecil’s eyes grow wide at the story of ROOMBA and he smiles knowingly at Star Meerif’s sudden appearance. After you've finished your tale, Cecil is wrenching his hands in barely contained excitement and asks for the energy stone.
Vincent produces the energy stone and gives it gently to Cecil, whose eyes shine brightly. Unable to take his eyes from the stone, Cecil motions to the table and you see a letter and several hundred gold on the table. He waves his hands absently, a clear dismissal.
Vincent immediately sweeps his share of the gold and leaves; George follows and takes some gold as well, ignoring the letter clearly addressed to “Star Meerif” and some gold behind. Wondering what the letter could be, you take the gold and letter, unsure when you’ll be able to give it to Star.
As you turn to leave a voice pierces the room, “I REQUIRE A PLACE TO STAY. I PROMISE TO CLEAN AND BE A GOOD MAINTENANCE BOT WHILE I STAY.”
You jump, remembering ROOMBA is in the room and accept his proposal as a short-term roommate. Hopefully you have time to discuss his apparent inability to control his volume with someone.
Exploring:70
From:Star Meerif
As you open the door to your home, you hear a familiar sound, followed by a new one.
POOF
“ALERT! ALERT! A MESS OF FEATHERS DETECTED!”
ROOMBA whirs into motion, cleaning feathers.
Star, unannounced once again with his favorite spell, has shown up to your home.
“I sensed from the sunspot disturbances you had something for me, so hand it over.” His demeanor is strangely intense, and you feel compelled to hand over the letter. Star opens it daintily, and begins reading half aloud and half to himself. His face starts serene but quickly contorts in anger.
“Yes, I’m sure you got it ALL. ON. YOUR. OWN.”
He continues reading and his face grows red. The lights in your home begin to dim in an alarming fashion.
“Your tricks can’t stop me forever!”
He continues to grow redder as he continues to read and his face is misshapen at this point. The room begins to expand and you hear snapping and popping that you can't explain. The lights are bright and yet dim all at once.
“Greedy?! WHO'S THE GREEDY ONE?! GREEDY MAGE!?
I. AM. A. WIZARD!
At this point, you begin to fear for your own safety. The room is now twice the size you remember it being. Fire is pouring out of your fireplace. Various pieces of furniture are levitating and vibrating uncontrollably.
“YOUR FAMILY STARTED!”
Star is now stomping on the letter and in quite a fit.
“STARS AND STONES AND CURSED CREEK!”
Suddenly, Star seems to realize his loss of control and the room instantaneously reverts to its previous state.
Star takes a few extra moments to compose himself and turns to you with a big smile on his face.
“Well well well, it seems I could use some more help in the future, and some good food. Maybe you can use this to help us both out now and in the future.”
He produces an orb that seems to be simultaneously opaque and completely transparent. "You'll know what to do with this."
ROOMBA has stopped whirring, oblivious to whatever just happened, having finally cleaned up all the feathers as Star disappears in yet another shower of feathers.
“ALERT! ALERT! FEATHER INTRUDERS! MAN THE BROOMS!”

After the last coin is inserted, you again reach out and press the button labelled two. You feel your stomach lurch and feel heavier for a brief moment. When the door slides open again, you see another hallway, exactly as you saw before entering, though a sign says “2” just outside the door.
George speaks up: “Why don’t we just see what’s at the top?”
You and Vincent agree, and you begin placing moonstones in the remaining openings, and press the top stone, labelled “16”.
Once again there is no response, so you start inserting coins as well, until the elevator begins to move.

As soon as the thought enters your mind, the letters swirl and the paper turns a light shade of red. “DON’T LITTER! (also please include some apples)”. You sigh and decide it’s probably for the best to listen to the angry letter before it bursts into flames.

Rosalie and Star are curious what brought you to see them, but they would appreciate if you could get them something to help relieve some of their exhaustion before you begin your tale.

Star is sending Rosalie with you to help Beatrix. He would go, but he’s concerned about the magic around Beatrix’s house. Star doesn’t care for dragon magic; it’s problematic.

Geist is glad that you came to help Beatrix. Beatrix was suffering due to that damaged spell. For now, she’s resting easy.
Geist was also suffering. She awoke each night not knowing who, when, or where she was. She was so terrified and confused and hungry that she tried to eat a horse, instead of the fish she now remembers that she prefers. She’s very glad to have her memory back.
Unfortunately, Geist still needs your help. The spell that Rosalie repaired was meant to suppress Beatrix’s dragon form and the painful memories of their shared ancient past. Geist was able to remove the spell after Rosalie fixed it in such a creative way, but that brings them back to the original problem. Geist thinks Beatrix will be overwhelmed by the flood of thousands of years of painful memories. She thinks it may destroy Beatrix.
Will you help Geist with a new spell? She wants to take all of their memories, beyond Beatrix’s time in this town, and store them in a flame orb. Then, she would like you to protect the orb until Geist and Beatrix both ask for it.

From:Thomas
Each year, there is a fishing contest that happens across the world. Any and all figures participate annually, however, this year has a small twist to it: signing up and competing requires a duo! Thus, Thomas has approached you and asked you to be his partner for the fishing tournament this year. You decide to kindly accept even though you know you’ll be doing all the work. Thomas promises that he will help you as much as possible in the tournament so you can *hopefully* win!
A week before the tournament starts, Thomas receives a letter from the tournament committee listing the baits that you must bring to participate in the tourney. Unfortunately, Thomas recently went on a fishing charter and used up all his bait so he is relying on you to gather the bait you two will need to participate. He hands you the list and sends you off.
Fishing:30
From:Thomas
Thomas finally spots you after you have caught all the fish you wanted to and time is about to run out. As he walks up, you notice he also has a good amount of fish, much more than you would expect of Thomas.
As you watch the looming timer hit 0, you prepare for the roaring alarm and then head back to the nearby main stage. The cloaked figure steps forward again and begins judging the groups and their catches with the committee. You notice that you seem to have brought the most fish, and the figure confirms it! This fishing bout jumps you up to ninth place in total!
The cloaked figure announces that 20 more teams have been eliminated and decides it is time for everyone to take a break to eat. Before he steps away from the mic you hear a loud rumble from his stomach… weird.
Then, you hear a loud creaking noise and the main stage begins to open. Inside, there are plenty of seats and food, however, Thomas wants a specific dinner, saying that eating all the healthy food will help you guys catch more fish next round. You reluctantly agree to get what he wants.
Fishing:30
From:Thomas
After about an hour, you hear a blaring alarm that almost makes you drop your rod and everyone stops fishing. You quickly return to the main area where you first arrived. A committee is waiting to pass judgment on everyone’s catches.
Thomas proudly takes your combined fish to the committee and waits…
You notice Thomas’ face drops and he sulks back towards you telling you of the news: you barely scraped by.
After everyone has been judged, they wheel out a leaderboard and Thomas finds your team in the spot fourth from the bottom out of 50 total teams that progressed to the next round.
You notice Thomas trying to fix up his rod, but the cloaked figure exclaims it is time to begin the next round. He nods towards a river near the main stage. As he nods, his cloak hood slips a little and you notice a figure with a sharp jawline and beard, you begin to wonder who it is. It seems nobody else noticed this slip and everyone begins heading in that direction and you end up near a trashy, rapidly flowing river.
You look back to ask Thomas where he would like to fish along the river but he is nowhere in sight. Unfortunately, you spot the clock and the timer has already started, you have to get fishing with or without Thomas.
Fishing:20
From:Thomas
Thomas thanks you for getting all the bait needed and then shows you another letter from the tournament committee. It states that too many duos have signed up to enter the tournament. Now duos will need to be approved by the committee to join. Thomas thinks that the best way to get accepted into the tournament is to show off some fishing accomplishments! However, Thomas tells you that his fishing rod broke. So, he needs your help getting enough fish to get into the tournament.
Fishing:20
From:Thomas
Thomas sends the fish to the committee in the wooden box.
A couple of days later, he receives a letter saying the two of you have been accepted into the tournament! By the next day, you and Thomas set sail for the competition.
When you arrive, you see plenty of other duos that look like pros with fancy fishing rods and perfect bait. As you look around, you notice a shady duo in the back that have masks hiding their faces. You can’t make it out clearly but you can see a small tattoo on each of their arms.
Suddenly, a booming voice catches your attention and you notice a large stage where a cloaked figure is standing. He appears to be the organizer of this tournament. He announces that the tournament will consist of a series of rounds. Only the most competent teams will advance after each round. Round one will be held at Small Island!
All of the contestants then head out toward the fishing area. When you arrive, the cloaked figure yells “Begin!” and everyone rushes to a boat to start fishing.
Thomas tells you that this will be an easy round because he finally got his new fishing rod! The two of you begin to fish. You notice that the waters are rough. It won’t be as easy to fish as Thomas thinks.
Fishing:40
From:Thomas
After everyone has eaten, the announcer brings multiple barrels and boxes to refill everyone’s bait and prepare for the next rounds. With an up-close view of the announcer, you can almost make out the details of his face; he looks familiar.
Before you know it, you, Thomas, and all the contestants are walking towards a nice, sandy beach where the sun is shining brightly off the rolling waves of the ocean. You and Thomas are ready to start fishing. However, Thomas says his stomach hurts and he goes towards the ocean and pukes. You’re worried that Thomas ate something spoiled so you tend to him for a little bit, but he pushes you away and asks you to continue fishing; he’ll take care of himself.
The shady duo you saw earlier is fishing a couple of spots down from you, but unfortunately now is not the time to investigate.
You quickly grab Thomas’ new rod and begin fishing, throwing all the fish you catch into the barrels behind you without a second glance.
Fishing:50
From:Thomas
The alarm sounds and you rush to Thomas to see how he is doing. He tells you he feels a lot better and you help him walk back to the stage with your barrels of fish. Your barrels seem light, but you don’t give it a second thought.
Once you get back to the stage everyone else seems to have somewhat empty barrels and you let out a sigh of relief until you notice one team has way more fish than anyone else. Surprisingly, you jump up to fifth place… but you watch the committee remove the teams until only five teams are remaining: you are dead last. You know you will need a huge amount of fish in the next round just to catch up, in hopes of winning the tournament.
The cloaked figure sends you off again towards the coast, but this time you sail on a boat towards the vast blue ocean with nothing else in sight, so it seems…
As Thomas seems to have fully recovered, he exclaims that there are fish practically jumping out at what appears to be a tiny cove in the middle of the ocean. You quickly steer the boat to the area, hand Thomas his fishing rod and grab yours, and rapidly begin fishing.
Fishing:50
From:Holger
You continue to fish, not even worrying about the timer that will soon send a piercing sound across the ocean. By the time the timer runs out, you have nearly double what you had the entire tournament! You set sail back to the main island and land safely. However, you only see three boats: the committee’s, yours, and the top team’s. You return to the main stage and the committee informs you that the other three teams sunk and are therefore disqualified.
You glance over and see the top team smirking… something seems fish-y. Regardless, the committee passes judgment… and you win!
Thomas aggressively celebrates with you, and the committee cheers for you as well. The committee sends the other team home before you get a chance to see them, but you notice a strange letter slip from one of their pockets. You quickly grab the letter but before you read it, the cloaked figure begins approaching you and removes his cloak. It was Holger this whole time!
He thanks you and Thomas for a job well done, and he looks forward to eating the tremendous amount of fish you and the other teams caught for him. He hands you your reward and asks that you leave your barrels and boxes of fish here. He will take them back to town instead.

From:Ric Ryph
Ric is now the official town dragon hunter. After Ric informed the mayor about all of the damage that the dragon caused, the mayor has given Ric broad authority to capture and destroy the dragon by any means possible.
Ric is beginning his efforts by collecting additional resources to help his hunt. Everyone in town will now be expected to contribute daily to the town relief fund. Ric is managing the funds and resources collected. He will also be doing regular check-ins with the townsfolk to collect their contributions and to search for the dragon, or its remains.
Anyone that fails to contribute, or that fails to report any dragon sightings, will be sent to the newly formed Mt. Banon Work Camp.
Ric intends for the work camp to be a way to help provide resources for the town relief fund, and a way to ensure law and order during his hunt for the dragon.

Lorn appreciated your report about our mutual friend. He is also thankful that the dragon sightings have stopped.
However, Lorn is concerned about the townsfolk. Much of the damage from the wildly misfired cannons was repaired, but many people are hurting financially. The forced contributions to the relief fund drained what little some folks had left. Some of these less fortunate were hauled off to the Mt. Banon Work Camp this morning.
Lorn wants your help in forming a council. The goal of this council will be to help the people of the town, and to stop Ric Ryph before he takes things any further. Lorn has invited Holger, Thomas, and Rosalie already. If you are willing to join the council, Lorn would like you to recruit four more townsfolk that you trust. He has prepared letters for you to share with those you recruit. The letters should be destroyed after they are read. Everyone that accepts this invitation should provide a golden leaf to mark their commitment to the council.

It’s a cold morning when Star appears on your farm with very little warning. There is a distinct lack of feathers, and that strikes you as a little odd.

As you stroll into town, the festivities are in full swing! You notice Rosalie waving at you in the distance so you make your way to her.
“Witch hats, why are they so fascinating? I feel very drawn to them, and I’d like to have some around my house and to maybe give away. I wonder what Star Meerif thinks of witch hats. Could you bring me some?”
From:Rosalie
Star Meerif appears in a flash of feathers beside you and Rosalie in her home. Star bows profusely before you both, and snaps his fingers, feathers disappearing in an instant.
“What a surprise to see you both here. I was trying to locate a strange blip in aethereal energy when – Oh my! Are those witch hats? Why do you have them?! Maybe these are the source!”
Star immediately teleports away, and the witch hats are gone too.
Rosalie looks devastated and you immediately set to work to replace the ones Star took.
From:Star Meerif
As you and Rosalie place the last hat back where they disappeared, a knock comes at the front door. Rosalie jumps in surprise and rushes to the door, and Star Meerif enters.
“Rosalie, I am sorry for my rudeness, the hats were not what I was looking for, but I realized quite quickly my arcane aspirations got in the way of social protocols. I am truly sorry, and I hope these flowers can be a part of my forgiveness along with – well, I see our friend has already found the hats I was going to bring back. Perhaps instead we could celebrate Halloween by giving out candy and hats to everyone… together?”
Star bows and produces a bouquet of roses. Rosalie’s smile lights up the room, and you set to work getting a few more hats for the occasion. Halloween is truly a magical time.

Lorn called this emergency council meeting to discuss the mayor’s death and to propose a change in plans.
Lorn suspects Ric had a hand in the mayor’s death last night. Ric claims that the mayor was perfectly well at their dinner yesterday evening, and that when they parted, the mayor was still alive. However, Lorn was told by the mayor, before that dinner with Ric, that he was going to end the work camp and relieve Ric of his duties. Lorn doesn’t believe in coincidences like this.
Another dangerous coincidence may arise when the Board of Founders meets tomorrow to appoint an interim mayor. Lorn will be voting for himself, but he’s afraid the other founders may be “convinced” to vote for someone that supports Ric.
Lorn thinks it’s time to start preparing an operation to rescue and hide the work camp prisoners, instead of waiting on a change in town policy. Will you help gather supplies for the rescue mission?

Ric is honored to be the interim mayor. He was as SURPRISED as anyone that the Board of Founders appointed him, on a nearly unanimous vote too. In fact, before the vote, Ric was sure the members of the Board of Founders would need more convincing to vote for him.
Ric thinks that, as the new mayor, he needs to have a house in town. He had a cabin built for him at the Mt. Banon Work Camp, but that’s too far out of the way to handle the day-to-day affairs of the town. He needs to be closer.
Instead of the usual contributions to the relief fund, Ric is asking everyone to take a break and instead help build a mayor’s house for the town. He will use the new mayor’s house as his residence during his interim term, and then it will be a place for the next mayor to reside.
Ric requests that you bring a load of building materials and tools to help build the mayor’s house.

Captain Thomas isn’t sure what caused him to be transported to this world, but before he stepped foot on your world he saw one of your townsfolk being pulled to the world Captain Thomas just left. The man was pulling on a trident laying on the ground while the gate to Captain Thomas’s world was pulling on the man.
Captain Thomas called to the man and asked if he needed help. The stranger noticed Captain Thomas standing in the gateway and said simply that he didn’t want to leave his trident behind, but the gateway wouldn’t let him take it to the new world.
Captain Thomas waited with the man. While they waited, Captain Thomas introduced himself. The stranger called himself Poseidon and said it was a pleasure to meet Captain Thomas. Then, Poseidon fell quiet again, seemingly deep in thought.
Eventually Poseidon spoke. He told Captain Thomas about some of his greatest adventures. Poseidon traveled to many worlds, but this was to be his last voyage for some time. Then, Poseidon talked about all the friends and family he made on his travels. He said he would continue to watch out for them, but they would wonder where he went. Finally, he asked Captain Thomas to find a new owner for his trident.
Captain Thomas agreed to find a worthy owner for the trident. Then, Captain Thomas attempted to shake Poseidon’s hand. The gateway prevented the contact.
Poseidon thanked Captain Thomas and then released the trident. The gateway and Poseidon vanished. Captain Thomas was left there alone with the trident.

As you head into town, clouds roll in and the smell of rain adds to the sensation of dread in the town. The constant vibrant energy of the town has been drained, replaced by townsfolk who keep to themselves, afraid of having to defend themselves from the consequences of any action that Ric might find unsavory in your – no, his – town.
You notice Rosalie walking out of the country store ahead, her countenance betraying the fake smile she flashes to you. You feel for the letter in your pocket reassuringly and approach her.
As if compelled, you hand her the letter you intended to deliver to her in private, and after a moment, she passes it back to you, fear and worry mar her features.
Dearest Rosalie,
You’re a real peculiar gem. I won’t be able to make it for dinner tomorrow. A shadow is falling.

Rosalie motions you silently to follow her and as you turn the corner, you collide with a figure and stumble backwards, the letter falling from your hands to the ground. Stunned for a moment, you check on your wounded pride and notice Beatrix reading the letter.
After a moment, Beatrix begins to speak, but the words seem crisper, and more precise than you expect from her. “Tell us Child, what exactly have you gotten yourself into?”
Rosalie hastily retrieves the note from Beatrix and suggests you gather various tea supplies. You can meet her back at her home with Beatrix in a few days to avoid suspicion from Ric.

“Hey.” He clears his throat. His voice is gravelly, and he has a strange accent. “Sorry, these things do NOT go down like carrots. Name’s frank. All lowercase.” He pauses to take another bite. “Let’s make a deal. I’ve got some pranks to pull, but no thumbs. Makes things difficult sometimes.” He doesn’t elaborate further, and crunches down on the last of your daily harvest. “I don’t even like leeks very much.

Behind Beatrix’s house is a maple tree as straight as an arrow. Geist likes to relax in the grass and watch that tree blow about in the wind. Geist really enjoyed the leaves turning red this fall, until they all fell off. Now there’s only one small leaf left flapping madly in the wind.
Geist is thankful for beautiful leaves in grand trees and all sorts of other beauties of the natural world. Will you bring her some of her favorite things?

Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
Brown paper packages tied up with strings
These are a few of my favorite things.
Cream-colored ponies and crisp apple strudels;
Doorbells and sleigh bells and schnitzel with noodles;
Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings;
These are a few of my favorite things.
Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes
Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes
Silver-white winters that melt into springs
These are a few of my favorite things
When the dog bites,
When the bee stings,
When I'm feeling sad,
I simply remember my favorite things,
And then I don't feel so bad.

After a moment, you pocket it, and head to your home for a day of rest.

Beatrix asked Lorn to come take a look at the hatch since all of her efforts to open it were fruitless, so far. Lorn has seen some strong bunkers before, but this one seems to be magically sealed.

Lorn was surprised by the effect the water had on the hatch. The heat coming from the hatch increased until the water boiled away, and then the hatch returned to its normal very hot temperature.

From:Cecil
Cecil is glad that Beatrix and Lorn asked him to come take a look at the hatch before anyone got hurt. However, he is surprised to see this hatch. Cecil thought that he mapped all of the underground structures in this area several years ago. He did not detect this one during that search, but now that the structure is exposed, Cecil thinks it is a good idea if he takes a look.
Cecil has a device, called a fachetek, that he can use to disable the magic guarding the hatch. Then, he can safely open the hatch and take a brief look down in the structure, to make sure that there is no danger for the townsfolk.
Cecil would appreciate your help in building a support rig that he can attach his climbing system to, so that he can descend safely down through the hatch.

Cecil will not be needing the magna quartz and steel wire that Lorn left on the hatch. If you will bring Cecil a few iron rings, he should be able to clean all the magna quartz up.

From:Cecil
Cecil successfully disabled the magic seal that was guarding the hatch. The hatch then opened very easily. Unfortunately, the magic seal was a bit stronger than Cecil expected. The seal almost depleted his fuel supply.
The fuel source for Cecil’s fachetek is aquamarine and his supply is running low. Will you bring him some aquamarines in ring form, so that they are easier to load in the fachetek?
Crafting:7
Exploring:20
From:Cecil
Before Cecil descends through the hatch, will you also bring him some lemon quartz in ring form to use with his fachetek. Cecil can swap the lemon quartz into the fachetek to use it like a torch in case there are no lights in the underground structure.
Exploring:20
From:Cecil
Cecil appreciates your help getting back up through the hatch. His exploration wore him out, but it revealed that the structure is actually an enormous instacrafting facility. He also found that the facility was completely sealed up, and it looked like it was abandoned. Unfortunately, Cecil found nothing of interest in the whole building. He did bring up one little bauble to examine in his lab, but he doesn’t expect it to be worth anything.
Cecil would like to reset the magic seal with his fachetek and bury the hatch again. He thinks that there may be an opportunity to use the facility in the future, but he thinks it could be dangerous to leave it exposed like it is now. Will you handle the burying work while he informs Beatrix and Lorn about his findings?
Exploring:20
From:Cecil
Cecil would like to thank you for the help you provided with investigating that underground facility. He was right about the bauble he found not having much value, but it does have a little bit of magic to it. Cecil would like you to have it, for a small, reasonable price.

From:Buddy
Buddy enters the town. He looks mischievous, and you feel as though it’s your duty to see what he’s up to. After a few moments, you recognize the house Buddy is approaching is Vincent’s. This seems…bad. You brace yourself for what comes next, but after pounding on the door, Buddy calls out -
“Vincent?
Do you want to build a snowman?
C’mon let’s go and play
I never see you anymore
Come out the door
It’s like you’ve gone away
We could have been best buddies
And yet we’re not
I wish you would tell me why…
Do you wanna build a snowman?”
Vincent opens the door suddenly and shouts, “GO AWAY BUDDY!” He turns and slams the door, and Buddy stands outside looking dejected.
After a moment you hear him call out, “OK, bye.”
Buddy looks to you dejectedly for a moment before he perks up. “Maybe if I start building a giant snowman, Vincent will want to play? Will you help?”
You can’t help yourself.

The snowman begins to take shape and Buddy, spurred on by your good deed and a seemingly unending well of optimism knocks on Vincent’s door again.
“Vincent?
Do you wanna build a snowman?
Or decorate some Christmas cards
I think some company is overdue
I’ve started making a giant snowman in your yard
Hang in there, buddy
It gets a little lonely
With only one snowman
Just watching the hours tick by”
Vincent opens the door cautiously and his eyes grow wide at the giant snowman that has begun to form in his front yard. He looks at Buddy for a moment before shaking his head and closing the door without a word.
Buddy looks sadly at the door and you can hear a muffled, “OK, bye”
Your heart cannot take the sadness in Buddy’s eyes and you begin gathering more snowballs to help complete his project.

The snow portion of the snowman is nearing completion, and Buddy again knocks on Vincent’s door.
“Vincent?
Please, I know you’re in there
People have been asking where you’ve been
They tell me “have courage” and I’m trying to
I’ve built a snowman right here for you,
Just let me in!
We could friend each other
Just you and me
What else could we do?
Do you wanna build a snowman?
(It doesn’t have to be a snowman!)”
Suddenly the door swings open and Vincent shoves something in Buddy’s hand and closes the door immediately.
Buddy looks dejectedly on, “OK, bye.”
You look at Buddy’s hand and notice coal and a carrot.
Buddy suddenly notices what he has and his eyes brighten immediately as he looks towards you. “All we need is a giant scarf!”
He glances down again and adds, "Maybe some more coal too."

After you bring back a scarf, Vincent comes outside bearing hot chocolate for you and buddy, and a grin on his face. “Buddy, this is one of the biggest and best snowmen I’ve ever seen, maybe next year we can build one together.

Captain Thomas discovered something very strange.
One day he was digging through the sand as the sun was about to set. Right as the sun set, Captain Thomas dropped the sand that was in his hand. Instead of falling straight down, the sand remained in the air for several seconds. It was at least long enough for Captain Thomas to get down on his knees and pinch a grain of sand out of the air.
That's why Captain Thomas needed the hourglasses and the sand from the mainland. He wanted to experiment to see if it would happen again, and he wanted to see if it would happen to sand from the mainland.
The sand from the mainland behaved completely normally in all of Captain Thomas' experiments. The sand from the island behaved completely abnormally at sunset, even inside the hourglass.
Now, Captain Thomas wants to try making some glass from the island's sand. Will you help him get the resources for building and using a kiln and a bellows? He'll also need some additional materials to help him make the glass.

Captain Thomas successfully made glass. He also successfully tested the glass. It behaves just like the sand right after sunset.
Captain Thomas also made a new discovery. One day he was walking around the island with an orb of the glass that he made. He was looking to see if there were any reactions to the glass from other things on the island. Captain Thomas reached the eastern edge of the island a few minutes before the sun came up. As he was walking along the beach he reached down and pulled up a handful of sand. The excess sand falling from his hand stopped falling and remained in the air until the sun appeared. Then, the sand fell to the ground like normal.
Captain Thomas brought some of the western shore sand back to his shack and started experimenting. He discovered that this sand behaved very much like the sand near Thomas' shack, but only right before dawn. He also discovered that the two sands don't mix. They repel each other.
With this new knowledge, Captain Thomas went to explore the middle of the island. Just as he expected, Captain Thomas found that there is a line across the center of the island that is completely devoid of sand.
Captain Thomas would like to make some more glass using sand from both sides of the island. Will you help him get more resources for making glass?

Now, Captain Thomas is out of ideas. The mystery of the island is fascinating, but Captain Thomas doesn't feel like he's making any progress toward getting home. He's going back to his fishing business for a while. He appreciates your help again and he's very sorry for wasting your time.

A few days later, your home remains quiet and noticeably uninterrupted. Trips into town have felt tense and you have intentionally avoided speaking to Beatrix and Rosalie except in passing. After gathering the items for tea, you arrive at Rosalie’s home, ready to discuss the letter and what has her so anxious with Beatrix.
When you arrive, you’re surprised to find a third person sitting in a chair near Rosalie’s fireplace. Lorn greets you warmly and motions for you to join the group. Rosalie looks pensive, and Beatrix seems quiet and unreadable as ever. After sitting, the tense mood of the room becomes too much to bear, and Rosalie breaks the tension by suggesting tea.
The group prepare their tea, Beatrix adding some very odd ingredients to her tea in the process. After some time of small talk, the tension in the room again reaches palpable levels, and Lorn quietly draws the letter out of his pocket and says, “So, a peculiar gem?” Beatrix looks intently at Lorn, and for a moment, the fire seems to pulse in intensity, almost exactly at her pace of breathing, but you shake the feeling off as your imagination as Lorn continues, “I’ve heard many things about many various gems, but what do you all know about the power of gems?”
Rosalie blinks and gives Lorn an odd look, “Star hasn’t mentioned many things about gems, he seems to dislike a certain type, but I’ve never taken much notice to be honest.”
Before Lorn can reply, Beatrix in a crisp accent cuts him off, “Gems can hold many powers, they attune to the aether of the world, and some types have affinities towards elements and types of magic. For example, many of the elements attune to basic gems like rubies for fire, or emerald for earth. Using gems for magical enhancement is not a common art in the world any longer.”
Rosalie leans back looking surprised in her chair as what you now recognize as the voice of Geist speaks. Lorn takes a moment to process this information before continuing, “Indeed, I’ve heard similar stories about gems and magic, but there are some gems, some very peculiar, that seem to do things that defy a normal explanation.”
The fire in the room suddenly burns bright as Beatrix straightens and says, “I remember…fragments. A war! A gem! Pain! Loss…”
Suddenly, Beatrix crumples to the ground as the fireplace loses intensity. Lorn and Rosalie rush to Beatrix’s aid. Her eyes open slightly, she looks directly at you and says, “I need rest…and the Flame Orb.”
Beatrix closes her eyes, and Lorn asks you to gather some items to help Beatrix regain her strength.

The town is quiet as you gather the materials as quickly as you can, an even harsher reminder of how many townsfolk no longer call the town their home. On the trip back to Rosalie’s house, several times you notice certain oddities around town. A home door ajar, blinds closed with windows open - at one point you swear you saw shadows that seemed to move even when you stood still. Hairs standing on end, you attempt to look casual as you head towards your destination. The sense of unease does not lift when you enter the house, instead worry and uncertainty are etched upon the faces of your friends.
Lorn explains, “Beatrix needs more time to recover, but we’re worried that her instability could cause serious consequences if she were to transform in town. I suggest we bring her to your farm house before we give her the flame orb. Rosalie has volunteered to cast a spell of illusion on a cart that we can use to transport Beatrix back to your home with little suspicion.”
Rosalie looks at you strangely, “Did you know orange is a great color for illusions? The more it moves the more it stops the illusion from distorting my aether matrix. That said, Beatrix has a very unique aura owing to her unique circumstances, I’m going to need a lot more orange things than I normally would to make sure this spell works.”

Under the cover of darkness, the four of you trek back to your farmhouse, Rosalie’s face scrunched in concentration, muttering something incomprehensible under her breath, while you and Lorn attempt to talk casually while keeping lookout.
After arriving at the farmhouse, you still can’t shake the feeling that you’re being watched, but you have no proof to bring to the group.
The next morning, Beatrix seems to have recovered from collapsing, she thanks you all for your care and assures you that she is fine. After a moment, a tear streaks down her face, “It feels so good to be among people that care, and to not be an outcast. If you’d allow me this morning to recover, I will tell you a story.”
Lorn pulls you aside and suggests you all spend your morning going about your normal tasks and you can reconvene at lunch. As it happens, he was hoping you could pick up some items for him and a friend while you’re in town. It’s a rather odd list.

When you get back to the farmhouse, Beatrix is resting comfortably, and Rosalie continues to pace while pensive and impatient. Lorn arrives and begins smoking a pipe, his presence of calm and serenity have an immediate soothing impact to your frayed nerves. Rosalie steps out of the other room, and upon seeing Lorn mentions how thankful she is to him for helping restock some of her other magic supplies.
“On the contrary, our dear friend here found most of the goods for you, but I did add a little something special for you myself.” Lorn replies. He winks slyly to Rosalie before settling into a chair.
After putting some tea on, Beatrix sits down and invites you all to listen to her tale. She puts a hand on the flame orb and the orb emits a searing light and the words seem to rush out of Beatrix.
“Many years ago, dragons and humans lived in relative peace. Magic was abundant in the land, and tribes grew up around different wizarding traditions. I grew up in such a tribe, but I was not born with any magical talent myself. Our family was well known, and one day, a man came to our tribe asking for help from wizards. Only later did they find out that there was a war between humans and dragons, and before we knew it, the war descended upon our tribe too.
The wrath of the dragons was terrible, and despite my pleading with father, the wizarding tribes were upset at the slaughter of humans and fought back. Many, many dragons died, and many of my friends and family died too. During the worst of the fighting, a dragon soared overhead, pleading with everyone to stop fighting and I was caught up in their words. I followed the dragon many miles and found her pleading with her brethren to stop the fighting. Her words fell on deaf ears, but I was so encouraged that I revealed myself to her and that is how Geist and I became comrades. We rushed to another battlefield to plead to stop the fighting, but it fell on deaf ears. In the fighting, Geist was wounded by a mage who held strange powers, and in my grief I screamed and shouted for the fighting to stop, but it never did… they wouldn’t stop fighting. They wouldn’t listen! In that moment, I lost all hope for humanity and dragonkind and laid beside Geist, waiting for the death of the battlefield I knew was inevitable.”
Beatrix is now openly crying and Lorn puts a hand on her shoulder to comfort her.
Lorn suggests you take a few minutes to let Beatrix regain her composure, and through tears, Beatrix suggests Geist tell you the rest of the story. She asks for some surf and turf, because she’ll likely be hungry anyways, and asks you all to step outside.Crafting:40

The extra carrots seemed to help, at least for a few moments. frank hops to the floor to vacuum the carrot shavings up with his mouth. He tells you, between his chomps of dirty-floor-carrot bits, about how he’s never won anything before. “I just have rotten luck. Doesn’t matter how many ladders I walk under, how many mirrors I break, or how much salt I spill. Nothing helps.” You begin to wonder where frank learned about superstitions. He returns to self-loathing on your chair, upside down so his belly is shown. “uuUuUUUugghhhHHhhhhh”, he groans. His pale blue glow looks a bit duller than usual.

Too much fungus.” He looks like he’s back to normal, as he’s found another bundle of carrots to munch on. “Mind if I stay here for a while? You grow the best carrots, pal.” He doesn’t wait for an answer, and pulls a giant suitcase from your cupboard. You can tell something in his life has changed, but don’t want to press him right now. You don’t have the heart to tell him he can’t stay, and he’s already unpacking his things anyways. Who knew rabbits owned so much stuff?

I won’t be needing this anymore, since I’m cured, and by the looks of this place you could use it.” You can tell frank is trying to be nice, so you take the red rabbit’s foot. “Hey uh.

Many times during his travels, Vincent heard tales of people finding decorated eggs hidden in strange places. The eggs were similar in size and heft to normal chicken eggs, but they were decorated with colors and designs. The eggs also seemed to be completely indestructible, at least the one Vincent saw couldn’t be cracked.
These decorated eggs always appeared in the early spring, and many of the legends said there were only 12 eggs that could be found. When spring ended, the eggs vanished until the following year. Then, the eggs reappeared, hidden in new locations.
A few of the legends spoke of a 13th golden egg that held vast powers or wealth or something like that. No one ever found the 13th egg in any of the stories.
Vincent would like you to keep an eye out this spring for mysteriously decorated eggs in strange places. If the two of you can find the 12 springtime eggs, maybe you can find the golden egg too. Vincent would be happy to evenly split any profit that could be made from the golden egg.
If you’re interested, just bring any strange eggs you find to Vincent to prove and secure.

From:Geist
Before you can step outside, Beatrix asks you all to wait a few moments while she goes ahead. After several seconds, you all step outside and see what you can only believe to be a dragon. Geist dwarfs your home, and she’s more majestic than a mountain. As she lowers her head to address you, flame crackles from her nose and a different fire burns in her eyes. It can only be described as sheer intelligent determination.
“Greetings, I am Geist, and I owe you my unending thanks and gratitude for your care and friendship of my dear friend Beatrix. Rest assured that she is well and unharmed. This has been a traumatic several weeks for her, and I hope to ease her pain by telling you the rest of our story. I know you don't know me, but I know you all very well, as well as Beatrix herself does. Our shared memories make you all so familiar to me, I apologize if I address you all as if I've known you for years, because, you see, I have.
In that moment, so long ago, when Beatrix laid herself down beside me, I wept for the state of the world, for the wars and hatred that even I did not understand. To see so small a human laid low in empathy broke my heart, and it was in that moment of sadness and desperation to not see the world torn apart that something deep inside me changed. As I bled out from my strange wound, I blacked out, and when I came to, I was not me, but I was a part of Beatrix, and she was a part of me.
We eventually learned that only one of us could manifest at once, and through our experiences, Beatrix became so despondent that the only thing I could do for my dear friend was lock our memories away and give her a fresh start in a small village to live our life as normal as possible.
I tell you this, because I believe the injustices we have seen Ric impose on our small town are as cruel as we have ever witnessed, and we know the loss and pain of friend and family. I want to help so I offer you this, the knowledge I have of the peculiar gem. Indeed, I have heard of it and I know it has power that neither Beatrix nor I understand. It seems crucial to understand why Star might have mentioned it now, and together we should seek this item out.”
The group stands around for a moment, deep in thought, when Lorn breaks the silence, “I have heard of this peculiar gem from travelers before, passed down by generations, its value incalculable to anyone. It seems to me the best path forward would be to speak with our resident collector, Cecil, mayhap he has heard of this gem, or has acquired it himself? I have no other leads to offer at this time, unfortunately.”
Everyone agrees this seems like a reasonable first step, and the group decide it best to bring Cecil an offering of goodwill, knowing he is more open to talking about his collection when he’s adding to it.
Farming:75

From:Cecil
As a group, it is decided that you and Rosalie are best suited to see Cecil, so you head off to town with your goods, and make your way through town. Cecil’s house is an oddity, older than many other homes in the town, but it has always seemed to come through tragedy untouched and looking quite pristine.
Rosalie knocks on Cecil’s door and at first, there is no answer. A few moments later, the large front door opens slowly, and Cecil appears with an annoyed look on his face. His eyes quickly flit to Rosalie and before she says anything, he looks to you and says quietly, “You may enter. The mage’s pupil is not allowed in under any circumstance. These are my terms.” His eyes look like they will brook no argument and Rosalie gives you a quizzical look before stepping away from the door.
Cecil opens the door wider and allows you inside. The majesty and size of his home is not lost on you in that moment, as the door opens to a great hallway full of trinkets and baubles that distract the eye and glitter in unique and fascinating ways. Cecil walks you to a room you’ve never been in before and your eyes are drawn to even more trinkets and the energy core you brought back from Romuska, placed on a mantle in a base overseeing the room. You notice a kind of black cord coming down the side of the mantle but before you can figure out where it goes, Cecil interrupts your reverie by coughing gently.
“I know why you’re here, and I need your help. You see, Ric has been asking me for more and more money lately to fund his operation. Obviously, money is easy to come by, but I need to replenish my collection of items I sell to various vendors. In return, I will tell you what I know.”
You see no other avenue forward, and Cecil hands you a list of items he wants you to acquire. It’s strangely similar to items Rosalie and Star have asked you for in the past.

Your task completed, Cecil greedily eyes the items and proceeds to stuff them all into a bag in the hallway, his eyes never watching where his hands move, he begins to gush to you,
“Thank you! Finding some of these things are super difficult and you wouldn’t believe how useful and valuable some of these items are! Could you help me out with a few more items?”
He hands you a second list as suspicious as the first and pushes you out the door before you can get a word in edgewise.

When you return to Cecil’s house, he is positively beaming as you hand him the items. He carefully takes a ring off his finger and puts a new ring on before putting the rest in the same bag by the door. Curiously, he begins to wave you inside and suddenly his eyes turn cold.
“Get out! If you mention any of this to Ric I will tell him about the peculiar gem and Beatrix both! I never want to see that mage’s pupil or you around here again!”
You turn away, seeing Rosalie standing off in the distance to your left trying her best to look innocuous, but failing miserably. As you step away from Cecil’s house, you glimpse a silver silhouette in the distance but struggle to identify the person.
Rosalie approaches you as you head towards the farm and apologizes profusely, “I’m sorry, I was just so worried about Star and Cecil was acting so strange I was trying to hear what was being said with a listening spell…”
Rosalie sniffles a little and you suggest some tea at Rosalie’s house to calm everyone’s nerves after the abrupt change in afternoon.

You’re not going to believe this! Vincent found the golden egg!
He put all of the 12 decorated eggs together on a plate and they began to glow a soft red glow. The eggs glowed for hours and did nothing else. Confused, Vincent picked up the plate of eggs and moved toward his table. The eggs started glowing a soft green, but turned red again when he put the plate down.
Vincent picked the plate up again and started walking outside. The eggs glowed green whenever he was moving and got brighter when he moved toward the highland hills. So, he kept walking with the eggs right up to the center of the hills.
Somewhere near the center of the hills, the eggs flashed like noonday sun. Vincent immediately stopped and sat down with the eggs while he waited for his eyes to readjust after the flash. When he finally looked around, Vincent saw something shiny in a knot of grass. It was the golden egg!
The decorated eggs stopped glowing after that flash, and nothing more happened when Vincent added the golden egg to the plate of decorated eggs. Whatever magic was at work in the eggs seems to be at rest now.
Now, Vincent doesn’t know what to do with the eggs. He would love to make some money from them, but he feels like it isn’t really earned for his part. He’s also plenty satisfied just seeing legends he heard come to life.

Walking down the street, you realize many of these homes are foreign to you. As you walk the impression you’re being watched once again settles over you, the sense of unease makes your hairs stand on end, and you resist the urge to break into a run. You look to the sides and though it’s the middle of the day, shadows seem to grow around the houses around you and specks of light glitter in the shadows, like tiny eyes, following your every move.
The sense of real danger starts to mount, you furtively glance left to right and where there were once sun lit homes you now see dark houses with windows that give the impression of pervasive spreading darkness – you try to look away but you become entranced with one window, a view of something unfathomable brushes your mind and just as you begin to see flecks of blue a hand wraps around your shoulder and you stifle a scream of terror.

Captain Thomas also mentioned the hourglass he made with sand from this island that behaves much like the center area.
Will you lend Thomas the hourglass that Captain Thomas made? If it doesn’t have the same effect that the center of the island has on Thomas, he’ll give it right back. If it does help Thomas feel better, will you let him borrow it until he comes back from the glow?

You are a true friend, and you’ve helped me without reservation since I landed on your world. Even when you saw me succumb to desperation, you continued to help me. I’ve also watched as you helped others, no matter what they needed. Your example is part of why I’m helping Thomas on this voyage.

Holger usually doesn’t take anything when he sneaks into Borgen’s wagon. He also doesn’t usually break anything in Borgen’s collections. That’s why Holger is fairly certain that the model ship he stepped on, in Borgen’s wagon, was broken before he got there. Additionally, the crunch he heard when he stepped on the model sounded like something already broken, and not like a fresh break. It was more grind and snap than crunch and pop.
When Holger looked down to see the wreckage of the model ship, it was clear that the model was broken before he stepped on it. It was also clear that there was something stuffed inside the hull. Going against his normal tendency, Holger took the contents of the ship. Holger suspects that Borgen didn’t even know the map was jammed inside the model. So Borgen won’t miss it, but he will likely be very sore about the broken ship.
Will you help Holger put together a gift to make Borgen feel better about his broken model ship? Holger would like a gift for Borgen that will remind him of the sea, but maybe not boats.

Holger can’t figure out the map that he found in Borgen’s broken model ship.

However, the entrances to the tunnels, at either end of the maze, are a mystery. Each entrance is drawn as a series of broken squiggles.
Holger has no idea what the squiggles could mean, but he isn’t ready to give up on this mystery. He thinks some food might help him think more clearly. Will you bring him some fish to fry and eat?

Lorn found a load of wreckage washed up on the beach this morning.

Many of the items in the wreckage look quite old. Perhaps Lorn’s hopes are not unfounded.
Lorn is gathering up the interesting and useful items among the wreckage to make them available at the Exchange Center. He has his wagon to carry everything, but he could use help loading and securing the items. Will you help Lorn? He’ll give you a couple of the more interesting and useful items as compensation.
Fishing:80
From:Holger
Holger hasn’t made any further progress on deciphering the map. He suspects that the entrance squiggles require a legend, or key of some sort, that isn’t on the map.
Since no solutions were presenting themselves, Holger hiked all over the area looking for anything that might be a clue. He was hoping that he would see something that might shake an idea loose in his brain and help him decipher those squiggles. Eventually, he ended up at the Exchange Center and started talking to Lorn about the map.
As Holger was drawing out some of the squiggles, Lorn had an epiphany. Lorn saw a coin once with very similar markings to one of the groups of squiggles. At first, Lorn thought he had one of the coins in the exchange center storeroom, but after searching for several minutes he couldn’t find a coin that matched what he remembered.
Since Lorn couldn’t find the coin, he tried to do a simple drawing of it. Holger has a general idea of what he’s looking for now. If you happen to come across a coin with a skull on it, will you bring it to Holger?
Fishing:80
From:Holger
The coin fit with the squiggles on the map perfectly. There’s even some sort of resistance when Holger removes the coin from its spot on the map. It’s strange, but the coin and the map definitely belong together.
The image created by the map’s squiggles and the coin suggests a cove with a skull-shaped cave as the northern entrance to the maze. Holger’s never seen a place like that, but he remembers a bit of a story from Vincent. Vincent was trying to find a specific runestone to help him find a place called Pirate’s Cove. Maybe that’s the place on this map. Holger thinks it may be worth asking Vincent about.
While Holger talks to Vincent, will you find a runestone like the one Vincent wanted for finding Pirate’s Cove?
Fishing:80
From:Holger
Vincent wasn’t sure if Pirate’s Cove has a skull-shaped cave. He didn’t get a good look when he was there. Actually, Vincent didn’t want to talk about his time at Pirate’s Cove, but he did tell Holger that he was trying to use the runestone to find Pirate’s Cove.
Speaking of the runestone, Holger has great news! After he returned from talking to Vincent, he noticed that the backside of the runestone, that you found, was similar to the squiggles on the southern entrance on the map. So, he put the runestone face down on the map and lined it up with the squiggles. It fit perfectly! It also had a reaction like the coin, where it resists being removed from the map. Strangely, that resistance doesn’t happen with the runestone face up.
It took Holger a little while to recognize the image created by the runestone and the map, but he’s pretty sure that it’s the small cave not far from Lake Tempest.
Now, Holger wants to go explore the small cave and see if the map is correct. Will you help him prepare for exploring the cave?
Fishing:80
From:Holger
Holger found Buddy wandering around while he was exploring the small cave, and Buddy decided to join in the search for the tunnels. Oddly, Buddy knew a lot about the map and the tunnels. Buddy also mentioned that he knew Holger’s father a long time ago. Eventually, Buddy stopped and said that it was unsafe to go further. Holger would have continued, but Buddy seemed adamant.
While Holger was consulting the map to figure out a different path, Buddy warned Holger about pursuing any other options. Buddy explained that all of the tunnel entrances are lined with traps, very deadly ones. He also said that he had a tool to disable the traps, but that the pirate magic powering the traps has weakened over the years. Without stabilizing the pirate magic, the shutoff mechanism wouldn’t work.
Buddy suggested that Holger find a load of pirate artifacts and bring them to the cave. The artifacts will still have a little pirate magic in them that can be accumulated together and shared with the trap mechanisms. Then, Buddy can turn off the traps and let Holger through the tunnels.
Will you help Holger gather up old pirate artifacts?
Fishing:80
From:Holger
Buddy double-crossed Holger. They got the pirate magic shared from the old artifacts to the trap mechanisms. Suddenly, the entire cave felt electric and Holger could hear gears turning and ropes pulling. It was like all of the traps were being reset. Then, out of nowhere Buddy laughed and vanished.
Holger considered trying his luck with the tunnels without Buddy. He even walked to the point where Buddy stopped during their first exploration of the cave. Then, Holger tossed one of his lanterns several meters into a tunnel. It landed on the tunnel floor and a giant boulder immediately fell from the ceiling. The boulder fell exactly where the lantern fell. At that, Holger decided to come home and have a nice meal.
Will you find Buddy and see if you can get him to turn the traps off in the cave? Maybe you could take Buddy a gift as reminder of your friendship.
Fishing:80
From:Buddy
Buddy doesn’t think that Holger is ready for the treasures and truths that await him at the end of the tunnels. Pirate’s Cove has many secrets that Holger is too immature to understand. However, since you are one of Buddy’s best friends, Buddy will give you the key to disabling the tunnel traps, if you help Holger do one, very important good deed.
Buddy will trade you a powerful stone for a beautiful diamond as proof of your covenant.

Buddy wonders if it would be fun to tell Holger and Borgen that he is their father. That may be better left for a trek through the stars, or an intergalactic imperial incursion.
Buddy is glad to give you the key for shutting off the tunnel traps. However, he intends to keep protecting visitors that are exploring the small cave from running into the tunnels. He’ll stop everyone he finds in the cave and try to help them avoid unsafe areas.
Remember, to use the key, stick it in the skull mark on the floor between the tunnel entrance and the cave, and then turn it clockwise. Buddy loves the sound it makes when the traps disengage. He hopes you enjoy it too.

One of Lorn’s biggest regrets happened many years ago, far away from Redbrook. He was a soldier then, and he was sent with his battalion to free a group of people that were enslaved for many, many years.
A dispatch was sent to the town ahead of the battalion to allow everyone time to gather. The slaveholders and the enslaved were assembled and waiting when the soldiers arrived. Lorn was given a proclamation to read to the town. The proclamation announced that those currently in the bondage of slavery were freed and would be treated as such. Lorn’s battalion remained in the area only long enough to make sure the proclamation was obeyed, and then they moved on to their next assignment.
To this day, Lorn worries that he didn’t do enough to help those newly freed people. He did his duty and followed his orders, but those newly freed men and women and children needed more than being released from forced labor. They needed kindness, friendship, and support.
Every year on this day, Lorn remembers. Then, he tries to find someone around him that needs a little more help and he reaches out to help.

Jill asks you for some broccoli. This isn’t the first time she’s asked for things a well off farmer like herself shouldn’t need help with. You decide to deliver the broccoli to her doorstep, instead of meeting up like you usually do. Her farm looks magnificent from a distance, but up close you notice some things. Her crops are wilted, soil doesn’t look properly taken care of, and there are weeds everywhere. Jill hears you calling for her and rushes out of her barn. Her face is covered in soot.

You maneuver through piles of gadgets and gizmos, and find Jill, mumbling to herself. Her back is to you, and she’s hammering away at some device. “Why won’t you WORK?” You accidentally kick a bucket of nails, and they scatter.

But eventually, I realized I’m better at making things. Once you moved to town, I admired your flourishing farmland.

CORN FACT: Popcorn pops in two basic shapes, butterfly and mushroom. Butterfly popcorn has a very irregular shape with large bumps. It has a light crispy texture but can break easily. Mushroom-shaped popcorn has a spherical center with a rough surface. This shape makes it sturdy enough to stir when adding flavorings or coatings.
Farming:74

From:Jill
CORN FACT: Popcorn differs from other types of maize/corn in that it has a thicker pericarp/hull. The hull allows pressure from the heated water to build and eventually bursts open. The inside starch becomes gelatinous while being heated; when the hull bursts, the gelatinized starch spills out and cools, giving it its familiar popcorn shape.

Continuing on, you cross the bridge that allows passage over Crystal River. The sun will set soon. You look across the bridge, and discuss where to set up camp.
“Misty forest is eerie.” Jill states. “No raptors there, though.” Borgen chimes in. You ask ROOMBA to decide, as it’s been a long day and you just want to rest somewhere.

You’ve been here often enough to know all the safe spots from raptors. You lead your friends to safety. There’s a cliff that reaches out above you, and trees and bushes provide plenty of cover should the raptor pass by. Jill seems rather worried, as you hear a screech approaching from your right. You let her hold your compass, which seems to help her relax.
You and Borgen watch the raptor spring after something. Whatever it was must have run off, and the raptor quickly pursues. You see something fall from the raptor’s foot as it disappears further into the forest. “Whatever that thing dropped, I want it.”, Borgen says confidently. “Once we get that, we can keep moving.”

Borgen fashions some interesting layering, in an attempt to keep sand from his boots. Jill covers her head in a scarf, and double checks her water supply. You’ve done all the preparations you can, it’s time to move on.
The Jundland Desert is beautiful, if not blindingly bright. The sand looks almost golden, and a gentle wisp of wind carries a few golden specks to new dunes. Aside from that though, there’s nothing else to see. It’s not quite as hot here as Ember Lagoon, but it’s a close second while the sun is out. The group walks until the greenery is no longer visible. There are small bits and pieces of things hidden within the sand, but otherwise, there are no landmarks you can find. Each dune looks the same. You hold your compass, thinking maybe it will be useful here. The arrow just spins around and around.

The stars point me where I need to go, especially on the open sea.” While the three of you are walking and looking up, ROOMBA stops. First Jill, then you, then Borgen, all bump, and end up falling down. The three of you start laughing.
ROOMBA turns to face you. “QUIET. DO NOT MOVE.” ROOMBA dims his eye-light and crouches down to join you. A few minutes pass, and nothing happens. Borgen starts to get restless, and ROOMBA places his cold, metal hand on Borgen’s shoulder. Another minute goes by, and a very soft rumbling deep in the sand passes by. Sand shifts, and your eyes follow the direction of the rumbling. Dunes rise and fall. You stay there, waiting. ROOMBA fixes his light, and stands up. “WE WILL CONTINUE NOW.”

You look at a small, crumbling building. During the day, this would have easily been missed. The outside walls are caked in sand, and the blinding light of the sun would hide this place from anyone who came looking. The closer you look, the more you think there’s more of the building below the sand than above. You all walk the perimeter, looking for a way in. “Got something!” You hear Jill around the corner. You all gather in front of a door. There’s no knob, knocker, or anything on it. A small, shiny orb is near the top. You, Jill, and even Borgen all press the glass orb. Nothing happens. Pushing on the door does nothing. ROOMBA looks at the door, and it swings open. “WE ARE HERE.”

YOU CHOOSE ITEMS OF CULTURAL SIGNIFICANCE AND VALUE TO LEAVE AS EXCHANGE.” ROOMBA ventures further into the building, and is soon out of sight.

Thomas helped a lovely couple move into their farmhouse yesterday afternoon. When the last crate was unloaded from the wagon, Thomas bid his new friends farewell and began to make his way to the edge of town. He was on a mission to update the town population sign along the main road. The mayor said this update was long overdue, and that 175 thousand is a number to celebrate.
Before Thomas made it more than a few dozen steps along the road, something strange happened. Thomas thought he saw a fairy. So, he followed it. A small, floating glimmer continued to stay just out of his reach for nearly a kilometer, until he arrived at an old stone wall.
As Thomas got close to the wall, the fairy vanished. Thomas continued to search for the vanished glimmer, but eventually gave up after several fruitless minutes. Instead, he turned his attention, reluctantly, to examining the wall.
The wall was about knee high and made of intricately locked stones. The stones were worn and smooth and showed no sign of decoration, except at the top of what appeared to be a post. On the top of the stone at the top of the post, Thomas found these words engraved.
“Otipeg Line”
Thomas has no idea what Otipeg Line means, but he would love to learn more about it. He’s going to ask Lorn if he knows anything.

Lives lived. Lives lost. Love. Hate. Regret.
“Are…you okay?” Focus again brings you back to reality where Thomas is peering at you in a peculiar fashion.
Shaking your head as if from a long dream, you put on a brave smile, and give Thomas a pat on the shoulder. You request a trout dinner to celebrate his catch at a later time and bid a distracted farewell. As you look to your left, you glimpse a shadow disappearing down a side street. The glimmer from an object catches your eye, but you’ve no idea what it is. How peculiar, the thought enters your head, and exits just as briefly. The urge to give chase is quickly overwhelmed by the memory of the experience before Thomas arrived. Maybe the sideroads are even less safe…
As Thomas steps away, you brace yourself for the feeling of being watched to return, but after a few moments, the sky is still clear and shining. It takes you a few moments of deliberate steps forward to remember your goals, but bolstered by the shining sky your pace quickens, hoping to run into Holger.
As luck would have it, you run into Holger not 10 minutes later on the east side of town. He looks deep in thought as he stares towards the horizon, a whittling project seems to have been forgotten to his left, a half finished drink on his right.

Townsfolk gone missing, some sent to work camps, Ric demanding more of us, and me, keeping a secret I don't even understand." Holger sighs, "The town is barely recognizable with these confounded dragon walls and the pervasive scent of fear and expectation. Soon we won’t even call this place home. I don’t recognize it, and I don’t like it. Almost makes you wish you could just leave and never come back."
You sit silent, waiting for more to come, something hopeful or helpful, but he offers no other words for nearly ten minutes.
“This gift, it wasn’t necessary, but it lightened my heart. Tell Rosalie thank you.”

As you leave, you are reminded of all the good in this town, the people and the community. The smiles of the townsfolk and others you've met in your journey, those memories bring you hope, and your resolve to figure out the mystery of Star is renewed.
And yet, wending your way through the streets and alleys, the trauma of the unsettling shadow again begins to grip you, the sense of someone following you gnaws at your mind. A sound, the scuff of feet comes from behind you and impulsively you glance backwards and the world rushes to greet your face.

But, with us together, we’ll be unstoppable!” His enthusiasm is infectious as he casts an imposing figure in the daylight, you briefly consider his proposal before your better judgment takes over, and you suggest talking to the rest of the Golden Leaf before he does anything rash.
On your walk back Holger’s words ring through your ears “find Buddy…”
Peculiarly, no more episodes of shadow occur on your trip back. Sometimes, you get the sense of being watched, and even catch a glimpse of a (the?) shadow in the window and a glint of light, but before you can react it’s gone from your vision.
Buddy notices your nerves and puts a hand on your shoulder, “Nothing will hurt you while I’m here, friend.”
You trudge back to Beatrix’s home, feeling strangely comforted on the journey. Arriving back at Beatrix’s you find you’re the first to arrive in her home.

“Well,” Beatrix breaks the silence with an irascible look, “Tell us why you’re here, Buddy.”
Buddy looks at the assembled group, a smile on his face. “A few weeks ago, I noticed a weird blob of black moving around the town. It was really creepy and unfriendly, so I started tracking it, and when I started tracking it, it would simply...go away.”
“This happened several more times over the next few days, and I saw several townsfolk touched by this…thing…for a moment, but then it would leave quickly. Obviously, it knew I was there and I was coming to protect them.”

Don’t jest. Are you making up children’s tales? This is serious.”

“Well, I wasn’t there for that, I was on the other side of town eating tacos.”
Rosalie seems startled out of her intense thought by this peculiar admission from Buddy.
“Then, it must be someone or something else dealing with this situation, and we’ve got to figure it out. Let’s go do some digging Buddy, we’ll all meet back in a week.”

On the walk back, Charles glances around in a way that could be described as skittish, but seems generally pleasant to be around, and he has a rapport you didn't realize with most townsfolk.
You get the feeling Charles may have forgotten you’re wearing the ring as you walk through town.

You explain that you’re helping Charles build his stable, and she gives you a look of disbelief. “How would you know what Charles is looking for?”

“Oh wow, I'd completely forgotten Rosalie had made this ring, I haven't had the opportunity to truly use one in a thousand years!" Beatrix gives the ring a look of wonderment, "I'm impressed that it is still working so well for a first time magical enchantment, Rosalie is a natural. Could I borrow it, just for a bit? This reminds us of better times. Perhaps we could make some new friends...I’ll trade some time with it to you for some of the things on your list!”
Charles suddenly seems impatient as he responds, “Neigh! Neigh neigh, neigh.” (Well, we just need to take all these back and build the stable, I’m sure we won’t need the ring for a few days.)

The shape of the stable comes together much more quickly than you realized and as night begins to fall on the third day, you pack up your tools and realize Charles is nowhere to be seen. Curious, you see some fresh hoof prints and follow them. What could a horse possibly be doing at nighttime, you think to yourself.
As you step quietly, the distinctive hoof prints of Charles lead you directly to Cecil’s home. Following further, you continue towards a stable you remember helping Cecil rebuild for his horse, Lucky Lady.
Before you can go further, a familiar gruff, clipped voice emerges from ahead. Ric Ryph! You quickly seek a hiding place in the hedgerow near the stable.
“Well, that’s not enough. A thousand years and weird self-referential pronouns? That could mean anything.”
A second, unfamiliar accented voice emerges from the stables.
“You said this was it, that if I figured out what they were up to, and if we found the dragon, I could go back to the way life was going to be…”
“Maybe that’s true, but the deal has changed. If you want your love to live, you’ll get more concrete proof that Beatrix is more than what she claims. Or else. You have two days. Now wizard, shut this fleabag up.”
A flash of light emerges from the stable, and you see Ric Ryph and Cecil emerge.
“And wizard,” Ric spits the word out derisively, “Don’t forget our deal. I know your secrets too…” he trails off as he stops in his tracks and stares straight towards you in the bushes next to the fenceline.
Your heart pounds louder and louder.
Sweat breaks out on your forehead.
You can feel Ric’s scheming eyes on you.
One second turns into five seconds.
No one's here, you find yourself thinking over and over again.
Cecil looks in your direction and coughs, Ric shakes his head as if returning from a reverie and mutters to himself unintelligibly before continuing more loudly, “... secrets I know a certain few people in Bahltruvia would be very interested to hear about.”
You continue to hold your breath as Cecil leans on a staff you’ve never seen before. The staff is adorned with a hauntingly peculiar sparkle that catches your eye. Cecil spends a few moments gazing out into the darkness, as Ric strides off in the distance.
Sensing this is your moment to get away unseen, you race back to your home. Moonlight illuminates your path. When you arrive, a single dagger is stuck in your door.

frank has been waiting all year for his chance to pull the most epic pranks on everyone. Naturally, he needs you to help him gather supplies. He assures you he probably won’t prank you, as a payment for your services. First on his list is a bunch of eggs.

With the eggs delivered, he instructs you to place them all over the town square. “don’t step on any, it’ll ruin the immersion.”
He cackles, and pulls out his list. “alright, from here, we need some bugs. a lot of ‘em. let’s start with spiders. and some bottles to keep ‘em in.”

You hope you never have to touch another bug again, after this evening’s activities. frank informs you these bug jars will live hidden on your property, for now. “it’s not time to deliver these guys just yet. i’ll let you know. for NOW though…lets start setting up my next prank with some red dye.”

“that’s not nearly enough. do you have any idea what i’m trying to accomplish here? this has to be the biggest prank this town has ever seen. if you’re no longer interested in helping, let me know and i’ll find some other two legged person to help.” You don’t want to feel frank’s pranking wrath, so you hurriedly gather more red dye.

You return, and frank is talking with Charles Horsington III. Seems they’ve just finished conducting some business. They see you, and promptly end their discussion. Charles greets you, and trots off. “Neigh!”
”man, that horse is one funny -blam!-. totally on board, loved my idea. anyways, glad to see you’re back on board. lets get these loaded up. you cart them, and i’ll supervise.”
“next up for preparation is uh…” He scans his list. “oh! toilet paper! as much as you can carry. i’ve got to survey the areas to plan when we’re pulling this off. just meet me back here when you’ve got it.”

You begin to question your complicity, but after a brief moment of weighing your options, you decide to continue helping frank. He knows where you live, and you don’t want to make things awkward. You go back to the town square, towing a cart of toilet paper. frank is nowhere to be found, but he left a literal trail of crumbs for you to follow.

As you follow this trail, a piece of parchment flies into your face. You look at it, and an oddly familiar sense comes over you.
”Tread Carefully.”
You find frank north of town, and show him the note. “UGH! how did he figure it out? i mean, a silly little note won’t stop us. but it’ll just mean more hard work for yo– for us. i need some lemonade.”

Lemonade in hand, you return to find frank. “he’s not here. perfect. i’ve gotta start setting up, you got those pictures?” You stare blankly at frank. “oh. did i not... ok. yeah you know those super freaky pictures of that lady? i need about 20 of ‘em. go toss some stuff into the wishing well.” He shoos you off. You look back, and catch just a glimpse of the materials you brought levitating.
Tower:100
From:frank
When you return, the materials you brought previously are gone, as is frank. All you can find is a piece of parchment, which reads, “stack the pictures exactly where this letter was sitting, and meet me back at the town hall. if you could bring me a snack too, that would be great.”

Now that Charles has been spookified, frank instructs you to meet him near Jill’s corn field with another snack for him.

Back at the town square, you can see Charles Horsington III in the distance, his stoic posture now a frightening silhouette. frank motions for you to hide with him. “someone's coming this way, lets watch the chaos.”
Buddy, in full pirate attire, is skipping down the road. He lands on an egg, and abruptly stops. “Hello? Did somebody drop these?” When no response is given, he looks around, and jumps on each egg. “This is better than crunching leaves!” He laughs to himself. His non-peg leg shoe flies off his foot, in your general direction. It's drenched in raw egg, dirt, and a horrid stench.
Buddy walks over to retrieve it, and sees you. Of course, frank is nowhere to be seen. “Hi friend! That shoe is kind of ruined now. Would you mind picking up another one at the post office for me? I ordered it, and was actually on my way to go pick it up, but they won’t let me in without shoes! You’ll know it’s mine because my face is on it!”

Somehow, both frank and the red dye you gathered earlier are both already here and waiting. “hey go pour this into that.” He gestures to Jill’s water irrigation system. “don’t worry, this stuff is safe, it won’t hurt her precious cobs.” He senses your hesitation, and takes a swig of the dye. “see? i’m fine.”
Feeling more confident that no crops will be harmed in the process, you agree to help out. Once frank sees you begin, he hops away, mumbling something about more snacks and the town square.

You return with the shoe, and Buddy is delighted. He leaves an absolute mess in the town square, and skips further down the road.

The clearing is no longer empty. Star’s castle sits before you; a truly spectacular sight to see. frank, the toilet paper and lemonade are waiting for you when you arrive. “now this is important. he’s not home, so you have to go inside and replace everything in the fridge with the lemonade. i’ve got to do some stuff out here. we only have a few minutes, so chop chop.”
You’re not sure if Star left the door unlocked, or if frank did something to unlock it, but you enter the castle. You don’t dare to look around, and beeline straight for the fridge. You quickly replace the items inside with lemonade, and return to frank.
Once you shut the door, the ground rumbles. frank is out of sight, and the castle is wrapped entirely in toilet paper. The rumbling stops, and frank hops out from behind the castle. “okay, we’re done. get outta here, you do NOT want to be around when star gets back.”
As you're leaving, frank calls out, "thanks for all the help. left you a little something special at home."

From:Star Meerif
Something is not right. Something has changed. Star has discovered an aberration in the flow of time. The events of exactly one year ago are leaking into the present. Ghosts of the past are interacting with us here and now. Visions of what was are mingling with the moments before our eyes. They seem harmless, so far, but some things have changed.
Will you help Star get to the bottom of this chronological conundrum before anything truly devastating happens to the present or our future? If you’ll bring him a cogwheel, he should be able to get pointed to the cause of this temporal overflow.
From:Star Meerif
Star has a memory hiding somewhere in his mind that is key to explaining what is happening, at least that ’s what his Detector Of Overflowing Time indicates. Unfortunately, the DOOT didn’t show him what memory it was.
Will you bring him some carrots so he can conjur an ocular replay spell?
From:Star Meerif
The ocular replay spell is working, but there are a lot of memories to sift through. Will you bring Star some dice so he can focus the spell to a specific date?
From:Star Meerif
Star found it! He suspects you may not remember this, but you were there! Star was searching for a strange blip in aethereal energy, but he got distracted by a certain lovely young lady and the fashion accessory of choice for witches. In his distraction, Star left his Detector Of Aethereal Blips And Inconsequential Runestones running. The DOABAIR must’ve shorted out and created a tiny temporal leak, only visible in the ultraultraviolet spectrum. If you’ll bring Star some feathers, he should be able to patch it right up.
From:Star Meerif
Star discovered a significant change that shifted in our time due to the time leak. The lock for the door of the Haunted House was changed…by someone…or perhaps, some thing. Star is quite certain this change wasn’t his doing, but while he was investigating the new lock, he found that he already had a key that unlocked the door. His investigation of the Haunted House’s interior revealed no changes of major significance, even at a subatomic level. Nevertheless, Star is unsettled by the change to the lock. For now, will you keep the new key to the Haunted House? Ensure it is kept safe and secret until Star calls for it.

Shrugging, you set off. What Halloween is this again?
From:Star Meerif
In a flash of feathers in Rosalie’s home, Star Meerif appears in full wizard garb. He bows in a strange fashion you’re not familiar with, and extends a hand towards Rosalie.
“Witch Hats, they’re so hot right now. Did you notice how when you have them in proximity to…you…that the solar ley lines shift subtly towards the past?”
Rosalie takes Star’s hand with a big smile and replies, "You know what? Not only that, but if you hang a bat wing from it, it makes for an excellent fashion statement.”
Sensing you’re going to need more hats, you dutifully leave the two of them to their chatter.
From:Star Meerif
Leaving the Haunted House, you approach the town to find a dejected Star sitting on a log. You could swear you hear something approaching a sniffle from his direction. Approaching, he takes the hats and bat wings from you and shuffles sadly in the direction of his tower. He mutters something about solar ley lines and candy corn. Maybe Rosalie can help explain…?
From:Rosalie
Rosalie sits on her porch, a single Wizard Hat in her hand. The sad look on her face, and the context clues from earlier make you think something has gone terribly wrong.
She looks at you and takes the delivery. Her soft voice barely reaches you over the sounds of the festivities around you.
"Trick -"

Flowers suddenly appear around you, Rosalie’s home seems to make the sound like the popping of a cork, and witch hats with bat wings appear lining her roof and porch.

Just before sundown the following day, an island was spotted and the pale Thomas got really excited. Ragvin called for a halt of both ships. He loaded a dinghy with the Thomases, himself, and a couple of his crew, and they launched for the shore. As soon as the pale Thomas set foot on the island, he passed out…

Ragvin and the healthy Thomas didn’t find anything particularly noteworthy as they searched the island, but your friend looked surprised anyway. When Ragvin addressed the surprised look, Thomas said that the island they were exploring was exactly the same as an island he and the other Thomas set sail from, rock for rock and tree for tree.
Ragvin found that claim extremely curious, but with a pressing need to continue his trade route, Ragvin couldn’t remain on the island for much longer. The next day, Ragvin brought more of his crew to the island to help explore. Like the night before, they couldn’t find anything valuable…

As they approached the coast, they met Captain Logan and his crew.

Cecil does not typically share stories from his past, but he feels a great nostalgia today. If you do not mind listening, he would love to reminisce for a moment. There is a strange power in telling a memory to an audience.
The place where Cecil grew up was very different from Redbrook. It was a place where dreams seemed to spring to life, almost as if by magic, and the people were so densely packed into the city that they had to start constructing enormously tall buildings, including underground.
Nevertheless, many of the customs of the rural areas were brought into the city and stirred into the amalgamation of the city’s own customs. So, they still celebrated a harvest festival even though one would have to travel many kilometers to actually see a field being harvested.
Because of Cecil’s family’s position within the city, Cecil’s mother would invite seemingly random families to join their harvest feast. The family joining them could be extremely wealthy, extremely poor, from a far off land, from a few blocks away, a small family, or a large family. This exposure to such a variety of different people and conversations during the meal taught Cecil much about the world and its people. He quickly began to recognize, despite the obvious differences, the many similarities between all people, for better and worse.
At one of theses harvest feasts, a fisherman and his family brought a small gift for young Cecil. No one had ever done that before. Many brought gifts for his parents and many brought gifts for the entire family, but no one had ever brought something just for Cecil. Not only that, but the gift was something Cecil had not seen before. It was a beautiful spiked shell. The fisherman told Cecil it was very rare and was used for magical spells long ago. It was amazing to young Cecil.
Unfortunately, that shell was lost in a terrible disaster many years ago. Cecil would love to have another spiked shell, as fine as that one from his youth. If you could find a spiked shell for Cecil, he would be very grateful.

From:Holger
Holger loves this time of year. He and Borgen grew up with lots of friends and family gathering for the harvest feast. Holger’s dad was a fisherman and always exchanged fresh fish for a variety of harvest produce. Because of these exchanges the harvest feast always showcased a wide variety of delicious dishes.
One year, when Holger was thirteen, the fishing haul was abnormally meager. Holger’s dad wasn’t sure if they would have enough food to get through the winter, much less trade for the harvest feast. Holger prepared himself for the worst. The day of the feast came and friends and family gathered. One by one all of Holger’s favorite dishes appeared, and in more abundance than usual. Somehow, that harvest feast tasted better than any before.
Holger isn’t sure if his friends and family knew that Holger’s family was in need, but he’s never forgotten their kindness.
Will you help Holger gather some harvest produce to share with others?

Jill wants your help and tells you a small story in the process. When she was young, her parents had a tradition. Every year around this time, they would take some gathered crops from the year’s harvest and offer thanks to the farmers in the surrounding area and try to give back to those who had helped them. Will you help gather some of the crops her family used to gather to give to others around town?

Each year we would find the time to raise raptors and help repopulate the raptor population, but one, that raptor would always be given the tenderest of care. They weren’t bred for fighting and hunting, like your barbaric Redbrook traditions, but they were for eating. We gave thanks each year by giving some of that raptor to our closest friends.”
Captain Thomas wipes a tear from his eye and continues, “And Sarafina, she always cooked the best…”
Captain Thomas stops abruptly and smiles at you. “Thank you for entertaining my story. I found this egg, and while I don’t agree with your traditions, I’ll gladly give this one to your care. Have a happy Thanksgiving.”

Dark clouds on the horizon, you check your mailbox and find a letter.
I hope this letter finds you well. It burdens my heart to write you this, but I think our dear friend Thomas is not well. He has seemed distant of late, and complained of various ailments that my books cannot identify. Would you be so kind as to join me for dinner tomorrow night with our esteemed friend? Since you’ll be in the area, could you help me restock my stores as well?
A list of ingredients and fish follow.
Fishing:90
From:Lorn
The evening approaches and you head to Lorn’s home. The sky is peaceful, almost serene after looking dark previously. Your steps feel light and you take a deep breath of the evening air. Lorn is on his porch, chatting amiably with Thomas when you arrive. You catch the tail end of their conversation.
“…estimated! I just have to prove to you I can be better.”
Lorn chuckles as you walk up his porch steps, “Hello there! Won’t you join us for dinner? The supplies can all be stocked later tonight.”
As Lorn stands, he seems older, more frail than you remember. Maybe it’s a trick of the evening light, you think to yourself.
At dinnertime, you all enjoy a well prepared meal out of some of the ingredients you brought, and some strange fish you don’t recognize.
Thomas and Lorn again begin to talk spiritedly. Lorn’s eyes positively gleam the entire time, returning the youthful countenance you view in him, despite his advancing age.
“You just gotta let me prove to you that I’ve gotten better! Our friend here has seen it firsthand! Look at the haul we’ve made at Pirate’s Cove! I was a part of that, you know…” Before Thomas continues, you notice a slight hitch in Thomas’s arm as he winces, spearing a piece of fish. “What is this fish anyways?”
“It’s extremely rare. In fact, no one I know could find or identify it, but the trader called it a Glassback, it’s not native to our oceans or lakes, so I’ve no idea how they came across it, but I paid a pretty penny for the privilege. I bought it a few months ago but never had the right time to share it, but now seems as good as any, eh?”
You mention how good the fish is, and Thomas agrees. Lorn suggests you reconvene on the deck.
“Would you like to hear about a lake encircled in ice?”
Fishing:90
From:Lorn
Thomas can hardly contain himself as you sit on the porch, he squirms uncomfortably and impatiently, between odd winces. Lorn looks at the sunset and smiles, seeming unhurried by the circumstances he has created.
You take a sip of tea, knowing that good things come to those who wait.
“Before Thomas wears a hole in my porch, let me tell you what I know…”
Thomas stares at Lorn with rapt attention.
“In the days before, legend tells us the guardians of the world were sent forth to oversee the land, to give it a final shape and form. To walk amongst the people and care for them as one might care for a flock. Among them was Zho, though you might know them as Zholice or perhaps Shva, their ancient name is written in books I have read. Zho was the guardian of water and sapphire and they made their home among the people. There are legends of an unending cold known as Shva’s Playground, and within it lies Zho’s Lake. The lake is as clear as day, and it’s said you can walk on the lake and ice will form under your feet as you walk.” Lorn guffaws, “Fairy tales, I tell you…”
After another pause, he continues “Other legends say that there is but one stream that leaves the lake, and that is how a fish from that mythical place could be found in the ocean. These fish are so rare, their value would be greater than anything you’ve seen so far. I didn’t believe it myself until I discovered the one from tonight a few months back.”
Thomas, leaning over the balcony, looks back to you both. “I’m gonna find that Lake, and I’m gonna fish up the best fish you’ve ever had Lorn, on my honor!” He looks to you and says, “Pack your things, we’re going north!” As he strides away, Lorn carries a wistful but knowing smile as he turns back to his house. “But I haven’t finished my story…”
You wonder if Lorn hadn’t planned this all along, but in the meantime, you realize you need to prepare for a trek to the north.

From:Thomas
You wake up the next morning to a loud banging at your door. Groggily, you find Thomas, looking full of energy and excitement standing in front of you.
“We can’t leave today, I know, you need to make plans, so I have an idea too. Maybe we should use some parts from the rest of your journeys to make our current journey easier. I’ve asked Jill for a little help in the designs…”
Fishing:90
From:Thomas
After delivering the requested items to Jill, you gather a few more things before setting forth. Of extreme importance is food, clothing, and general traveling supplies.
The day of the trip you agreed on with Thomas comes and Thomas is nowhere to be found. You find him later in his cabin, collapsed on the floor.
Lorn looks to you, “He seems to have taken a nasty spill. I noticed him acting oddly lately, but didn’t expect anything like this. I suggested the trip because I suspected a goal might help with whatever ails him, but it doesn’t seem to have made much difference.”
After a moment of consideration, you suggest that it has in fact invigorated him, as you noticed in his interactions less of the odd behavior. Between the two of you, you decide not to talk to Thomas more about this incident and proceed as planned after Thomas awakens.
From:Thomas
The trek north is slow but steady progress. The carts carrying your snow machines are well prepared thanks to the weight balancing steel plates and large tyres with treads Jill added. They also work off a strange system of wheel propulsion you nor Thomas understand, but they lighten your trek significantly and make obstructions significantly easier to navigate.
A week of traveling, past Cane Pole Ridge and farther north, you’re surprised to find rolling hills that never seem to break into a flatland or a mountain range. On the break of the ninth day, you see in the distance a bright gleam of sun, dazzling your eyes, you realize this might be the direction you seek. You change tack to the northwest and the temperature begins to drop precipitously. Ice begins to take over the landscape, and yet to the east and west, you see nothing but clear skies and green fields.
“This feels right,” Thomas says excitedly, “We’re gonna find this place and I’m gonna be the greatest fisherman slash explorer in Redbrook!”
You both make camp for the night and prepare for a journey into frozen lands in the morning.
Thomas seems somehow brighter through this experience, and you haven’t noticed any of the odd ticks from the previous days. Maybe Lorn was right, you think to yourself.
You both spend the better part of the morning trying to figure out exactly how Jill got these contraptions *on* the cart to begin with. While looking over the machines more thoroughly, you spy a big red button labeled “Start”.
Exhausted, you hop on and when you press the start button, the snow machine comes whirring to life. Gears begin turning and before you know it the treads on the backs of the machine start spinning slowly and you begin inching forward.
Thomas laughs triumphantly and yells, “It’s working! It’s working! Well, at least I think that’s what Jill might say.”
After a moment of revelry, you press the button again and the machine abruptly stops. You notice at that point a letter from Jill taped to the side of the machine with specific unloading instructions as well as operating instructions.
“Friends,
Here are my new creations, schematics I had only dreamed of until I heard of the parts you’d found in the Jundland Wastes – please take care of them, I’d be ever so sad never to see them again.
Your friend, Jill

Thomas is cold and lifeless as you approach him. He seems to have faded in some ways. Frost creeps up his fingers unnaturally. It seems slow, almost imperceptible, but after a quick check he is breathing. You pick up Thomas as gingerly as possible, the cold seems to emanate from his body, penetrating all the layers of covering you’re wearing. Gingerly, you put Thomas in front of you on the snow machine and rush back the way you came.
Lorn will know what to do, the thought crosses your mind.
You return to the edge of the phenomenon and quickly fashion a makeshift cart for Thomas.
Jill's going to be very mad at me as well, you think to yourself as you leave the snow machine behind. You grab the cart, make sure Thomas is safe, and rush back to Redbrook. The trip takes less time, as you skip breaks, traveling on minimal sleep, you travel recklessly to get back sooner. Each time you check on Thomas, you see the frost has crawled farther up his arms and legs.
Exhausted, you reach Redbrook after seven days of hard, almost ceaseless travel and caring for Thomas the best you can, you find yourself collapsing on Lorn’s doorstep.
Lorn opens his door as you weakly gesture towards the cart and even though you are pointing towards the cart, you don’t understand why Lorn is trying to help you to a chair.
“You fools. You bloody fools!” The words come from Lorn's mouth, but you hear Star Meerif's voice.

You feel something tickle your nose and startle you back to consciousness, but your eyes won’t open despite your best efforts.
“YOU SENT THEM TO SHVA’S PLAYGROUND!? In the name of Tvas, why would you do that, Lorn?”
“Sometimes, people need a push. You, of all people should respect this given your long history. It was not my choice, but theirs. I just… gave them a little nudge out the door. It was for his own good.”
“…It’s enchanted, and powerfully so. Every book and being I’ve ever spoken with, including text from the Golden Leaf tell us to stay away! Even I am not stupid enough to try and penetrate Shva’s Wall.”
“Be that as it may, you’re obligated to help these two now, you’ve heard Thomas’ plight, it is beyond their abilities.”
“I am obligated to do no such thing. You think I'm a fool? Yes, and before you say it, that business before was different. Shva is not to be trifled with and I…am not knowledgeable enough, not by half in some of those realms to do what you seek.”
A pause.
“Cecil, then?”
A long, uncomfortable pause follows.
“If you must continue this folly.”
You feel another tickle on your nose.
“He won’t get better if we avoid the problem, Star.”
There is no response, and you lose consciousness again.

You awaken the next morning, and Lorn gives you some more medicine, with orders to take things slow and try not to overdo it over the next few days. You are quickly escorted out of the room and as you leave, you catch a glimpse of Thomas, pale but no longer covered in frost.
“He needs rest, but you and Star saved his life, no thanks to me.” He says softly. A look of remorse passes his features quickly.
After a week of taking things easy, returning to your normal routine has helped your recovery immensely. A balanced diet of orange juice, lemonade, tea, and occasionally lemonade and tea mixed have helped re-hydrate you, and a balanced meal has restored your strength.
Fishing:90
From:Thomas
Each day during this week, you have checked on Thomas and his health has returned much more quickly than you or Lorn have anticipated. Lorn has spent much time researching the effects of the item Star requested for healing, but he seems to refuse to want to ask for more information, content to find old parchments in his basement and mutter to himself from beside Thomas’ bed. Thomas on the other hand has been pressing Lorn for as much information on Shva and Shva’s Wall. On one occasion, Lorn let slip that Star or Cecil might know more about it.
After two weeks, despite both you and Lorn’s protests to the contrary, Thomas’ inquiries into Shva’s Wall have only grown more persistent and with begrudging consent from Lorn, and Thomas’ insistence that he would pursue this with or without you, you’ve found yourself joining Thomas on a trip to Cecil’s manor.
Before the third knock, the door opens, and Cecil appears before you both. His clothes are different from what you remember, more like robes than his typical business attire and he seems quite irate.
“What do you want? I’m very busy.”
Thomas shuffles his feet, clearly not expecting this rough welcome. He mumbles through a greeting before clearly stating, “I want to get through Shva’s Wall.”
Cecil was clearly not expecting this forward statement from Thomas and his face breaks out into a broad smile. “My dear fellow, why didn’t you say that sooner? Come in, come in.”
You step inside Cecil's home. Somehow, the opulence of his home continues to amaze you, the large hall, filled with baubles, gems and other devices always takes your breath away. You recall the room you visited with the energy core, but Cecil instead takes you to his dining room, where three sets of cups, a tea kettle, milk, and sugar are in the middle of the table. Before you can ask how Cecil had these ready, he begins speaking as you sit down.
“I heard rumors that hooligan Star wouldn’t help you out, so I’ve been doing a little research of my own and found I might already have something to help you with your journey, if you’re willing to pay the price.”
Thomas looks intensely at Cecil, “I’ll pay any price.”
Cecil looks to you both, “Great, let’s have some tea and discuss the…tea.” Cecil laughs to himself, but you don’t quite understand why.

From:Cecil
“Zho was the guardian of water in our world. Their Playground is where they experimented with their Power and where their followers gathered in tribute and followed Zho’s teachings. As the years went on, Zho shared what they learned of Power with others, and the Playground eventually grew into a temple. Zho explored the world, and many knew of their name, until one day Zho returned to their Playground, only to find their temple destroyed and their followers murdered. It was at that moment Zho’s Wall was born, Zho poured their sorrow and pain into this Wall, and then disappeared.”
Cecil pauses for a moment before pulling a plain case out from underneath his robes. The case has writing on it you don’t recognize and a golden leaf adorns the latch. Considering the splendor of Cecil’s home, the box seems positively ordinary in comparison.
“We know this story thanks to ancient wizards of the Golden Leaf who traveled to the Playground – few survived, but this – this is the only relic we have from that time.”
Cecil opens the case and before you can see what’s inside, a powerful shock wave unlike anything you’ve ever experienced hits you. The sound of the ocean, the roar of the wind, the frigidness of snow, and the scalding heat of boiling water overwhelms your senses. You fall off your chair and see Thomas sitting, staring rapturously at the box. Cecil abruptly closes the box and the sensation is immediately gone.
“I should have warned you, this is an item of immense Power. I call it Zho’s Dagger, and it most certainly is the item that killed Zho.”
A quietness covers the room as the enormity of Cecil’s words wash over you.
“I gather now, you understand the enormity of what I am about to suggest. I want you to revisit Zho’s Playground, bring this dagger with you and use its power to counteract the Power of Zho’s Wall and go inside and understand what happened, and bring me back something.”
Thomas blinks, “And fish.”
Cecil smiles, “Yes, and fish.”
Thomas looks at you and without hesitation blurts out, “We’ll do it! What do you want in return?”
Cecil shakes his head and looks away for a moment, “A safer world for us all, and some information I’ve long pondered. Consider this journey the favor I ask of you…and maybe a few rare things I’ve misplaced. But mostly the first thing.”
Cecil hands the box to Thomas. “Keep it secret, keep it safe, and when you approach the wall open the box and hold onto that dagger with all your will. Now, I have important things to be doing.” Cecil looks expectantly at you both and you get the impression it’s your time to leave.

You both leave Cecil’s house in a rushed fog. Thomas has the plain case close to him.
“Well, that was…interesting. I’m not so worried about all the high-falutin god stuff, but think of the riches! The fame! The prestige! Lucky for you, I happen to have a backup store, in case I need to get out of town a second time in a hurry. Let’s go tomorrow! Skip town before Lorn and anyone else realize we’ve gone. They’ll only try to stop us anyways…”
You cautiously agree, remembering the argument between Lorn and Star. You put your misgivings aside for your friend, and you prepare yourself for another long trek north in the morning.

From:Star Meerif
As you prepare for sleep, a knock at the door interrupts your evening routine. You quickly stash your cookies and your accounting books in the drawer and answer the door.
Lorn swings the door wide open, followed by Star who immediately begins speaking to you animatedly, “Good sir, I must protest. I cannot in good conscience allow you to go forth with this journey. Whatever Cecil has told you, I’m sure it is well intentioned, but you are messing with powers you cannot possibly understand. He has sent you to your death. How very Langstaffian of him, to send others to do his bidding.”
Lorn rolls his eyes towards you, “Star, why are you here, exactly? You refuse to help, you refuse to not help, and you refuse to keep to yourself. Are you not the town mage…”
“Wizard.” Star mumbles absentmindedly.
“...that we have trusted all these long years? Either speak plainly, or kindly stop speaking at all.”
Star looks to Lorn for a moment, and you can see his internal struggle before he smooths his robes and takes a deep breath.
“There are powers in this world even I do not dare trifle with, but if I cannot convince you to change your mind, I shall share with you the only helpful legend I know regarding Zho. His followers were known to be extraordinarily kind, and when in his domain you had but to ‘speak the ancient word for friend’. What happens beyond that is something only the gods know now.” Star pauses for a moment before practically pleading with you. “Consider once last time staying home and safe - ignore this fools errand.”
You shake your head, intent on ensuring Thomas’ safety.
Star looks quietly to Lorn and disappears in a cloud of feathers but words echo, “Friendship. More enriches life, less offers nothing.”
Lorn looks quietly to you, “Whatever ails Thomas, he seems inextricably bound in all this, in ways I don’t understand and no one will explain to me, for better or worse. I…don’t want either of you to go. I’m a fool - I believed Thomas having a goal would help heal him, instead I’ve put you both in terrible, terrible danger.” Lorn pauses a moment, and a single tear runs down his left cheek. “Even now, I realize I’m not too old to have new regrets, new follies. Be safe. Bring my friend back safely.”
Lorn lingers a moment longer, seemingly wanting to say more but he turns slowly and steps out of the house and you are left alone, feeling as though you’re on the precipice of something bigger than you understand.

From:Thomas
The morning is clear, and you wake up to finish your final chores before Thomas arrives. Thomas’ enthusiasm is apparent, he practically runs and skips as you depart. With no cart and the food in your packs, you expect to make excellent time.
With no significant rain, and having recently traveled this way, you are able to pick your way back north faster than you expected. After a few days on the journey, Thomas seems quieter than usual. You reflect, for a moment before realizing he seems almost unrecognizable from the man you met when you moved to Redbrook. His drive, confidence, intensity and joy for adventure are far removed from the nervous, novice fisherman you met all that time ago.
As you approach the snowy phenomenon, you find Jill’s snow machine waiting for you, looking worn and covered in a few weeks of outdoor weather, but otherwise in good working order.
“What luck! This will cut down our snow travel considerably!”
You press the big red start button and the machine sputters and whirs to life briefly before it dies.
“Must be out of corn oil.” Thomas quips.
Luckily, you brought some spare.
Fishing:90
From:Thomas
The machine whirs and hums, brought to life again and you both hop on, there’s just enough room if you shed the non essential items from your packs.
The trail you both left on your first trip up the phenomenon is crystal clear in the snow and ice. Knowing what to expect, you push forward faster than you did originally, the snow and wind pick up as you approach the Wall.
You both agree to leave the machine outside the Wall and step off, buffeted by the wind and snow, Thomas steps forward, you see the plain case in one hand and he motions to you with the other.
“STAY CLOSE!” The wind is deafening at this point. Thomas kneels to the ground and sets the box on the snow. He grabs your hand and opens the box. Immediately, the shockwave erupts from the box, but mysteriously, you are unaffected. The unnatural sensations of the sound of the ocean, the roar of the wind, the frigidness of snow, the steam heat of boiled water are present, but encapsulate you both in an aura of comfort, instead of pushing you away. You feel a serenity in the midst of this otherworldly sensation.
Thomas looks at you, wide eyed. “Here goes nothing.” He picks up the dagger and you see a glow emit from his eyes. His voice grows deeper, more resonant. It’s Thomas, but there is something more there. “Take the box, the wizard would not appreciate losing it.” he states matter-of-factly. There is an edge to his words and you look to him unsure how to hold onto his hand and pick up the box with the other. Releasing your hand, Thomas’s voice is even less natural than before. “Have no fear, I shall keep you safe.”
You put the box in your bag and step forward with Thomas. The Wall looms before you, and as you near it, there is an intensity you can’t quite put your finger on, but the aura extends forward and the Wall parts as you move closer. You move forward slowly, until you are completely surrounded by the wall. A storm rages around you, but the dagger, or Thomas, or both, keep you safe from the raging forces around you. All around, a deep scream echoes. Pain and weariness intermixed with bitter rage. You shut your eyes and put your hands over your ears to stop the assault on your senses until Thomas puts a hand on your shoulder, and the screams subside. You both press on, there is an odd gleam in Thomas’ eyes, somewhere between determination you get the sense that he is having fun.
Fishing:90
From:Thomas?
Suddenly, as quickly as the wall began, you see clear skies pierce the horrors of the Wall around you. The Wall recedes as you move forward together and the pressure and noise surrounding you ceases immediately.
What you see before you is unlike any majesty you’ve ever witnessed. Sun glistens off patches of ice, vibrant green grass grows in between patches of pristine white snow. A tree blossoms in a small frozen pond, purple and red hues accenting the light green leaves leaving you dazzled. Moments later, you realize water is continually falling from various branches, as though a fountain. Far away, a wall of ice seems to climb higher and higher out of the ground and water falls from its peak into a waterfall, glistening in the sun. The sound of the massive waterfall is at once tumultuous and calming. The water falls into a lake that you now see is the centerpiece of this area. The lake is surrounded by ice and a massive ice formation with one small stream running east towards the ocean.
After a moment of appreciating the splendor surrounded by Shva’s Wall, you gather yourself and offer the plain box to Thomas, but he looks at it suspiciously. “Perhaps I should keep the dagger…close.” He clenches the dagger tightly in one hand and steps towards the lake. “I’m being called. What you are seeing, is…my home.” Thomas winces at these words and without another word, he begins to move towards the lake.
Calling out, Thomas completely ignores you as he takes step after step forward. Reaching the lake, he steps onto it and ice spreads out beneath his feet. He looks back to you, expectantly, but as you gingerly step on a shallow pool of water your foot plunges directly through.
“Ah yes. Hm. You’re going to need a boat. Or well, an approximation of one.”
Fishing:90
From:Not Thomas
You present the ships and rings to Thomas and wordlessly, he draws the dagger from his belt and with both hands grasping the hilt, a sensation of power overwhelms you. The boats gently rise up into the air and drift towards the lake, and the rings disappear, strangely. You blink, and before you is a small boat fashioned out of ice.
“It’s entirely safe, let’s be off.” The being known as Thomas smiles with satisfaction, and you feel a breeze in the air and a sound like a gentle sigh crosses your ears.
Thomas grasps the side of your ice boat and you begin to travel inward. The lake seems limitless. Fish flit in mesmerizing chaotic patterns, the sun cascades off the fish and the ripples of the lake, highlighting the brilliant oddity of the situation. All around you, a chaotic wall of rage and raw elemental energy swirls, but in this moment, you feel calm.
The northernmost part of the lake is where the ice grows highest, and Thomas propels himself and your boat towards it. The majesty of the moment strikes you, and you lose all sense of time taking in your surroundings. As you approach, you realize there is a small landing, and a doorway in a shaded alcove. The closer you get, the more it seems something is very wrong. The alcove has a large gash, and the doorway is agape - a large door of ice lays on the entryway. The quiet calm gives way to a sense of unease.
“You’ll need a torch.” The echo of Thomas says. Looking at your companion, he seems faded, as though his energy is being withered away, even faster than before you began your journey.

From:Echo of Zho
Your torch alight, you step inside. There is a small chamber with a large stone pedestal. It is flanked by 6 small statues made of ice that look vaguely human, each with a symbol in front of it.
The Echo signals and you hold your torch high and with a spark of magic from the dagger, your torch turns blue and strange symbols appear on the wall. Their script is unfamiliar to you, it seems almost alive, telling a story of its own, but the meaning is made clear in your mind.
Where once was six, there now are but five
What fun, new games, with stories come alive!
The first was water, so dull and boring,
Can you make the next one more fun exploring?
Guess the next story, we’ll go together,
Whirling, swirling, breezy forever.
Rys, come play I’ve made more delightful games
Without you, the pictures are plain dull frames.
-V
There is a small echo in the chamber and a shadow covers the words, laughter, terrible, horrible, powerful laughter fills the room and you look over to see Thomas begin to shiver uncontrollably, the dagger falls, the point of the dagger hits the floor and the sound pierces the chamber and the laughter overwhelms the moment. You rush to your friend and he points to the shadow. “It’s not real, it’s not real, but I…no…not me…the dagger…needs to go…there!” He points towards the raised stone. You grab the dagger and race towards the pedestal.

From:Zho?
Belatedly, you recognize that the pedestal is in fact a tomb, and on top is the figure that looks vaguely human, arms crossed but one hand held open. As you inspect the figure, you feel the dagger pull itself towards the figure and in a moment of instinct, you take the dagger and place it in the carved hand.
“Child, I was Zho, Guardian of Water. You have returned the dagger Vail betrayed Zho with, and in doing so have righted a terrible wrong in the world. Here is our memory, the Golden Leaf stands with Rys. Take it and learn of our terrible past and the burden you now carry.”

From:Thomas
The orb shines brightly, reflecting the light coming from outside. As you take the orb and put it in your pocket, Thomas falls to the ground, no longer shaking. The shadow immediately recedes, and again, you feel your head clear from the horrors of the moment. Taking a deep breath you feel a gentle wind rush through the chamber carrying a sound that could only be described as contentment.
Thomas is prone on the floor and you rush to his side. He is unresponsive at first but after a moment he looks at you with a lopsided smile.
“Was…it all a dream? I was me, but I was more. Or, I was someone or maybe something else?” He pauses momentarily, “Either way, it was so cool! I wish I could remember more.” he seems lost in thought, and you notice Thomas winces again as he uses his arms to stand up off the ground. For a brief moment, you swear you could see his hand disappear entirely.
A gentle snow falls in the room, the single opening in the chamber illuminates the Tomb of Zho, Guardian of Water, and for a moment, you close your eyes, the enormity of the moment giving you pause. You motion quietly to Thomas, not ready to disturb the serenity of the tomb. You both step outside the cavern and quickly realize that Zho’s Wall is gone, but the majesty of Zho’s Playground remains.
“Oh man, Glacier Lake is so cool! Let’s go fishing!” Thomas exclaims. You both laugh, and Thomas seems to be back to his old (new?) self, and after reflection you realize you might also like to take a moment to explore the lake. You both get into the ice boat and cast off, worries forgotten for the moment, the joy of discovery, fishing, and friendship are the only things you see on the horizon.

From:Thomas
After half an hour, you both feel comfortable enough with the machinery to start traveling with it, so you set off. The machines are not very noisy, but the occasional clang and ping is quite jarring in the quiet intensity of the growing cold and snow as you travel further north. For each minute that passes, you grow more and more unsettled. Distinctly to the east and west you can still see green. The area slowly grows more forested in all directions but only in the small swathe of land you travel is there snow as it slopes gently upwards. Slowly over the next hour the snow-covered land expands on both sides, greenery becoming overtaken by white, making you believe you started near the point of this mysterious phenomenon.
Thomas seems determined to trek onward, and his determination is met suddenly by a fierce blowing wind. Snow begins falling from the sky at a rapid pace, though no clouds appear overhead. The effect of wind, snow, and bright sun are disorienting, the light glinting off the snow crystals creating beautiful fleeting patterns of reflected light all around you.
You both lean forward, almost willing your machines to traverse the snow faster as the winds intensify until suddenly, you reach a barrier of snow, ice, and wind.
“It’s too dangerous!” you shout to Thomas. The roaring maelstrom in front of you fills you with terror and a hint of sorrow. “We must go back!”
Thomas looks to you, a mad gleam in his eye, “No!”
You try to call out again, but Thomas lurches forward. His machine begins to enter the maelstrom and as he enters you hear an unearthly roar from all around you as Thomas and the snow contraption are both lifted into the air. Ice covers the machine and Thomas is thrown viciously backwards. He crumples to the ground unnaturally and the storm subsides as you run towards Thomas.

A strange cold front came through recently from the north. It appeared and vanished within a few hours. After it passed, the temperature dropped swiftly and then bounced back up. The next morning, Beatrix was checking her garden and found that some of her crops froze completely solid. She gathered the crops and attempted to thaw them, but these frozen crops refused to cooperate. Beatrix tried everything she could think of to thaw them, but nothing worked. She even tried some mild explosives.
Now, the frozen crops are gone, but Beatrix is still curious about them. She needs to find more that she can examine. Will you check your fields to see if you have any?

Always a shadow and a glint haunt your steps as you explore. A man who follows you but does not speak. A hooded figure in the distance, lights flashing before they disappear.
When you wake, the dawn has already passed and given way to a beautiful clear morning. As you open your door, a familiar figure stands up, hand on their side. Buddy gives you a lopsided smile, “Rosalie told me you were in danger before she sprinted off, she muttered something about magical infetterance and transformational diagetic conventions…something or other. Anyways, I came here as fast as I could. She kind of sounds like Star sometimes now.”
For a moment, you’re taken aback by Buddy’s tone of caring before he continues, “Anyways, Rosalie and I had a few leads and good conversations. I’m really good at getting townsfolk to talk, on account of me being so friendly! We talked to a few more townsfolk who asked to stay anonymous and we think we can identify where the shadow is going to show up next. So later today, we are gonna find that thing and win!

Rosalie’s home is empty when you get into town as Charles stamps impatiently behind you. There’s no note or markings outside her home, so you decide it might be best to keep searching around town.
On your way towards Beatrix’s house, you stumble across Ric Ryph, who is inspecting some of the town's defenses.
“Ah yes, good to see you!” Ric’s cheer is evident from behind his helmet, “I want to thank you for some of your donations during these trying times, and remind you that we’re all doing our part to make Redbrook safer than it has ever been, and you’re a big part of that!” He lowers his voice so only you can hear, “Just don’t get too involved in things you have no business being a part of, alright? I like you well enough but any friend of a dragon is not a friend of mine…”
As Ric stands back up again, you can see his attention move towards the items you planned on giving to Rosalie, “And these items, thank you for the donation to the town, you continue to be one of my greatest supporters!”

The shadow is here. The thought enters your mind as despair courses through your entire body. You’re not prepared. You’re not ready.
The shadow begins to creep up your legs and your mind is filled with images of spite and hatred. Dragons dying. Spells you don’t understand explode around you, and hideous laughter, a smile you can’t quite place.
“VENTAS LUX PROVIA!”
A cascade of light envelops you and the Shadow recoils immediately.
You recognize the familiar faces of Rosalie, Beatrix, and Buddy momentarily before taking in your surroundings. Rising to your feet, you turn towards the Shadow. To your left, Buddy draws his sword looking past you and Beatrix widens her stance slightly, her eyes dilating in a strange pattern.

As Rosalie stands, another silhouette appears from behind the Shadow. The staff you recognize from last night appears from underneath the cloaked figure’s robe as a voice calls out.
“Put your staff away, Rosalie. Do you not realize who you face? Senca the Meticulous. Skugga the Inexorable. Yes, I know who you are, Trickster.”
Cecil steps forward, his cloak billowing out behind him as he slams his staff to the ground. The impact of his staff echoes like a thunderclap in a spring storm. The sound stuns you, and the crystal on the staff emits an iridescent white light that focuses into a tight beam aimed at the center of the Shadow.
"Ah, lowly mage, come back for another tussle with gifts undeserved and changed? You delay…nothing…"
The words echo in your mind unlike anything you’ve ever experienced. As the voice speaks, the Shadow grows and coalesces, a barrier of pure black meets the light from Cecil.
Determination evident on Cecil’s face, he levels his staff at the shadow and the beam of light grows more intense. Pressure builds in the area around you, power beyond what you can see but rather feel gathers between the two figures, the light intensifies and shadows play across Cecil's face in a dizzying array of color. The air crackles around the two as cracks appear on the barrier of black and light begins to pierce the Shadow itself. Moments later, the Shadow disperses in a brilliant explosion of color. Silence reigns.
Before anyone can speak, Cecil sweeps his staff in a circle and as Rosalie tries to speak, no words come out of her mouth. Buddy crosses his eyes in confusion as his mouth moves for a moment with no discernable sound before Cecil addresses the assembled members of the Golden Leaf.
“You have meddled far too much in something you do not understand, fools! Only a student of Meerif would do something so reckless and foolish. From this moment forward, you will put your heads down and ensure this town’s safety. I know your secrets, and I won’t let you interfere any longer.” He pauses, looking at each of you for a moment with unnerving intensity. “Were I a dragon, or a sorceress out of her league, or even a wanted pirate, I certainly would not wish to let my secrets be known to a certain town mayor. I trust we can all agree? Now, leave these pathetic weapons behind, you have no need of them anymore.”

“All of you go home and have a nice rest, all will be better in the morning. Charles, I expect you won’t be at my home seeing your…friend later?”
All of you part ways in a daze, the events of the past few days feel hazier and hazier. Maybe Cecil is right and a good night’s sleep will clear you right up. You head back to your home in a fog.

The walk to Beatrix’s house takes almost no time at all. You can’t quite remember the last time you were there, but it’s a lovely house. Charles whinnies at you as you stop to admire her home and briefly wonder what he’s on about.
Beatrix welcomes you to her home, and she indicates Charles can walk around to the back. Stepping through Beatrix’s home, its precisely placed ornamentation sticks out to you like never before. The precision is both jarring and peaceful. Relics you didn’t know exist line her walls, but as you’re ready to ask about them, you find yourself on the porch, Lorn and Rosalie already sitting in chairs. No Cecil though, how peculiar.

At this moment, Beatrix slams her drink on the table, a disgusted look on her face. All drinks go flying as everyone looks at Beatrix in bewilderment. “Beatrix! Explain yourself!” Lorn’s face is twisted up in an angry look you’re confident is typically reserved for particularly bad Buddy pranks.
“Golden Leaf! Are you content to whittle the days of your life away knowing what we know of Cecil? The shadow? Are you all content to move on with life knowing something is *out there* threatening our lives? To say nothing of Cecil threatening to expose Geist to Ric?” You can feel the heat in the air as Beatrix’s indignation rises. “We must act!!”
Beatrix seems ready to burst before she sees the clear confusion on the faces of the rest of the group. She pauses a moment, “Oh? Oh. He didn’t. Yes, this is beyond me, if we must. For the Leaf.”
Beatrix calmly steps away from the group, “We will need you all to go inside for a moment, come back outside in about 5 minutes. Charles, please keep watch at the front of the house. We’ll be hungry when you get back.”

As she lowers her head to address you, flame crackles from her nose and a different fire burns in her eyes that can only be described as sheer intelligent determination. A single ring hangs off a chain on her neck. As Charles steps back, you see his ears pin back, a wild terror gleams in his eyes and for a moment, he stands still, before bolting past Geist and towards the town proper.
“It is clear by your countenance that you do not remember the events of the past few days. Let me remind you. Do not worry about Charles, I should have considered seeing a dragon might affect him, he will return soon, I’m sure.”
You all stand for a moment, struck by Geist’s majesty. She first meets Rosalie’s gaze, then Lorn, and finally her eyes rest on you. For a moment, you are dumbfounded, transfixed by the sheer otherworldly nature of a dragon in the flesh. You feel yourself get lost in Geist’s eyes, a swirling vortex of fire, time and yet something deep in her eyes hypnotizes you when suddenly like a shattered mirror, your memory of the past few days snaps into focus, like a bad dream made reality you stumble backwards only to see your comrades all gasping for air.

“First, I’m sorry I wasn’t able to recognize and stop Cecil’s mind wipe. I do not have the…aptitude Geist has for recognizing magical influences. Perhaps our first order of business is discussing with Cecil why he would use magic on members of the Golden Leaf?”
You all agree this is a good first step, and set out towards Cecil’s home together.
Buddy suggests you cut through the middle of town, so he can stop and grab lunch at Mariya’s. As you round the corner, you all realize that there has been no one on the streets to greet you. In the town square, a figure in armor stands addressing a sizable crowd.
“Our town will not be safe until this dragon is brought to heel. Your families, your friends, your livestock, they can never feel true security! We must bring Beatrix to justice for the terror she has reigned upon this town! Are you with me?”
Beatrix quickly moves, wide-eyed behind Buddy attempting to hide herself, but it’s too late. You hear cries of “There she is! The evil dragon!”
Ric turns abruptly towards you and your friends and realizing there’s no quick way out of this, you all set yourself up for a confrontation with Ric Ryph.

Ric slowly removes his helmet, and for the first time, you see more than his scheming eyes. A wicked smile spreads across his face, a host of townspeople gathered behind him in anticipation. Beatrix stands before the assembled crowd - "He's fooled you! He killed the mayor! He sent many of you to work camps! He’s the enemy! A Shadow has sent him against us!"
Ric lets out a laugh, it echoes through the streets, a hollow laugh that never touches his eyes. "Oh my dear, but you forget, you are the monster here, and the town, they want revenge. And safety. Safety only a dragon hunter can provide.”
As he is speaking, Ric takes slow deliberate steps towards Beatrix, and before you can blink, Ric darts forward, a glint of steel as a dagger appears in his hand as he stabs Beatrix in the stomach.
The townsfolk break into a raucous cheer.
Time slows.
Beatrix crumples.
Lorn gasps.
Rosalie cries out.
Buddy draws his sword.
The mob spills towards you.
A shadow grows in the window.
One word echoes above all the others.

Vincent, sweat appearing on his brow looks to you, “What are you doing {player}, get out of here! Buddy, keep them safe!”

“This. Is. My. Friend.” Each word punctuated by a swing of his sword, the steely warning in his voice and actions seem to hold back the crowd. As the mob parts, you glance behind to see all of your friends kneeling before Ric Ryph, restrained.
“The dragon is wounded, her compatriots are captured and will be sent to camp to serve the town until they have shown their contrition! A victory for Redbrook! Our town will be safe once again!”
Inching towards the back of the crowd, you can feel the nerves and frenzy building. As you break past the edge of the crowd, Buddy grabs you by the shirt and shoves you into an alleyway.
A figure stands, cloaked and imposing in front of you both, and you prepare for them to call out for the mob. A moment passes with no noise and you take a second harder look at the figure. Cecil stands before you both, leaning heavily on his staff, worry creases his features, which turn to relief as he sees you and Buddy.
The cheers of the crowd echo down the alleyway, a stark reminder of the events of the morning as you make haste out of the town into the wilderness beyond, Buddy and Cecil flanking you.

Panting, legs burning, feet weary, you stop in the forest outcropping near your farm, furtively glancing around you for any sign of followers. Cecil pulls his staff from underneath his cloak and as he strikes the ground you hear his voice utter something unintelligible and the peculiar gem lights the area, a pulsating glow that casts away shadows.
“We are safe for the moment, but I fear the citizens of the town may be too far under Ric’s influence that they might come for us any moment. We need to get Beatrix some healing, and we need a safe place to gather our thoughts and move forward.”
Buddy spins around, sword pointed at Cecil, “You are not our friend, you wiped our memories! Very un-friend-like. Why should we trust you?”
Cecil, ignoring Buddy's aggressive stance gives a weary sigh, “You’re right Buddy, I’ve made some mistakes, and I'm sorry for that. Right now, you and I are the only ones who can save the Golden Leaf, so you’re just going to have to trust in me for now. All will become clear in due time.”
Buddy nods thoughtfully, “You sound like Star, but less confusing silly words, still mysterious though. Like I always say, 'Better to have too many friends than too few.'" Buddy pauses and gives you a look, "Guess we'll have to trust Cecil for now. And the best place for friends and trust is my house."
Cecil nods to you and Buddy. “Well, we could walk there, or there are…faster ways. Got any gold feathers?”

“Beatrix will need a piece of heart. I’ve not seen a wound like that in a while, but with a spell, we can make sure she will survive. Ric will want to make a grand gesture of it all, so we will have a day before he does anything too rash with her or the others, I hope.”
I’m going to need to save all my energy for teleportation, so I’ll need both your help with some of the more - “ Cecil looks to you tiredly, “- logistical and tangible details. Buddy, could you find out where Vincent and the others were taken?”

Had to organize a jailbreak and everything. Of course, by the time we got there, he’d already nearly won his freedom playing cards with the guards! What a friend and mate…”
“...was this the prison in Celtrica?”
“Yeah! How would you know that?”
“Well, funny story, you see, before I settled here in Redbrook, I did a shameful stint as a court wizard and jester for Jamire.”
“Wait, that was you who did the fireworks in 1342?”
“Well, I had some help…”
You step into the room and see the two smiling and conversing, before you can ask them to keep going Cecil turns to you as if he knew you were in the room.
“It’s time to start this then. Buddy quickly found that our friends are being held in a newly made jail cell just off of the Town Hall. Luckily, our friend here seems to have some experience with jailbreaks. We’ll have to be quick about it though.”
Cecil details a plan involving explosives, fireworks, and some ideas that seem very Buddy inspired.
“I have everything I need to teleport our friends to safety when the moment comes, but the setup will all be on you two. We should all rest, we begin at nightfall.”
“And it will be called, operation nightfall!” Buddy chimes in.

As a chilly night falls, you follow Buddy into town. It’s a circuitous path, through areas you haven't considered as a way to get into town. The walls Ric constructed seem particularly ineffective, when considering some of the gaps and areas of weakness Buddy seems to have naturally exploited.
Buddy quickly and efficiently distributes the various distraction tools and sets timers for the morning hours. You follow behind closely, amazed at his deft movements and quick thinking - he’s clearly done this before, and you make a personal note to talk to Buddy more about his adventures later.
About halfway through placing the eggs, Buddy’s hand goes up and you both stop immediately. In the distance, you see a figure holding a torch in one hand, a lantern clipped to their hip, light glinting off their steel armor as they walk slowly and methodically. You watch Ric Ryph slowly patrolling towards the bush you and Buddy are both hidden behind.

The Voyage Log for the Captain of the Two Fishers

I, Captain Logan, have taken command of the Two Fishers to lead a chartered voyage to a remote island far to the east. The Two Fishers regular commander, Lieutenant Lizotte, will be commanding the Zefurea in my absence.
In addition to the Two Fishers’ regular crew, we have aboard the following passengers.
Lorn, of Redbrook
George, of Redbrook
Mariya, of Redbrook
{player}, of Redbrook
I have requested that each passenger volunteer to assist with the labors associated with such a long voyage. For the first leg of the trip, Lorn will be assisting with keeping our vessel tidy, George and {player} have volunteered to help with fishing, and Mariya volunteered to assist with meals. With this additional help, we should be able to comfortably make this voyage and still keep up with the vessel guiding us, a merchant ship called Balstar, commanded by Captain Ragvin.
Evening update:
Mariya is a welcome addition to our regular cook. We enjoyed three hearty and delicious meals today. The crew was quite pleased.
George and {player} helped catch a record haul for this vessel! That farmer sure can fish!
Lorn is doing a fine job of keeping the ship tidy, but some of the crew have complained already that he is a bit too zealous. I’ll encourage Lorn to go a little easier on them.

“I APPRECIATE YOUR FRIENDSHIP. IF YOU LIKE, I WILL TELL YOU A STORY FROM THE GREAT LOGS OF ROMUSKA TO IMPROVE OUR FRIENDSHIP. SWITCHING TO STORY TELLING MODE…”
“Moonstones are not entirely of this planet. The Great Logs tell of several legends, collected from different parts of T’rah, that claims that the majority of their composition originated on the moon. The legends state that during a moon in the first quarter phase, many, many years ago, a vast rainstorm created a series of puddles of great size and scope. When the clouds cleared and the moon reached its zenith in the sky, a gateway was opened that transferred huge heaps of moon matter to the planet. This matter reacted with the rainwater and soil and stones to create enormous mounds of moonstones.
Scientists from Romuska attempted to observe and verify this phenomena over many years. Only once did a moonstone appear in an observed puddle during a first quarter moon after a rainstorm. No abnormalities were discovered that differentiated that night or that puddle. The claim of these legends was left unverified with the collapse of Romuska.”

The night crew reported that everything ran smoothly and the Balstar kept their lights glowing throughout the dark hours. Navigation was easy and all systems functioned properly. Then, the rest, and the bulk, of their report focused on appreciation for Mariya’s thoughtful, and apparently quite delicious, meals. The food was a significant step up from the usual leftovers of the day. I need to thank Mariya at breakfast this morning.
Midday update:
We are still following the Balstar closely, and we’re on schedule to reach Nonir Island within four days. Our passengers have expressed their hopes that they might get to see some of the famous turtles of Nonir, but I reminded them that the turtles typically inhabit the opposite side of the island from where we’ll be docking. Nevertheless, if we have time I would like to try to get them within sight of the turtles.
Evening update:
Once again, George and {player} have pulled in an incredible haul! It is a sight to behold these two pulling in net after net brimming with fish.

We’ll check in with the Balstar again today about their lightworks issues.
Midday update:
The reply from the Balstar was that the outage overnight was caused by the maintenance on the lightworks of the previous night. They have made some temporary repairs, but they will need to spend extra time on Nonir Island making more permanent changes. It is an unfortunate delay, but it should give us time to take our passengers to see the Nonir turtles.
Evening update:
I have an uneasy feeling, without any clouds around to cause it. It feels like the calm before a big storm.
We arrive at Nonir Island tomorrow afternoon, if all goes well. I will advise my crew and passengers to be extra cautious the next few days. I will also be rotating the work assignments for everyone after we finish our time at Nonir. New jobs will help everyone to stay watchful.

The center of the town is ringed by lit torches and poles with lanterns hung around them. A makeshift lean-to has been constructed in the town center where your friends are being kept under guard. A small fence has been erected and some barbed wire runs across the top. It occurs to you that Geist would not be bothered by these circumstances even in the worst of times.
There are two townsfolk you don’t recognize sitting in makeshift chairs chatting idly.
“Imagine - being a dragon and thinking Ric wouldn’t find you,” the first seems to spit out the word dragon like a bad piece of food.
“Yeah, and imagine being friends with a dragon. Filthy people, more interested in dragons than the town's well-being!” the other seems to feed off the first, uncomfortably so.
After taking a moment, you gather yourself and try to come up with a good distraction when you notice Vincent staring directly at you. You lock eyes for a moment and he motions for you to back away.

Stepping back into the town in the dead of night, you approach the center and find Ric Ryph, out of breath talking to the two guards heatedly.
“The clumsy thumb was here, I know his remaining compatriot will be here too. {player} can’t help being far behind riding the coattails of the so-called Golden Leaf…” he trails off for a moment before pointing at the guards. “You and you! Double the guards! Rally the militia! Tomorrow morning, we will rid Redbrook once and for all of this dragon and my…our…town will be rid of this menace and we can move towards our glorious future!”
At this, the guards give a poor imitation of a salute and head towards the north of town.
“And you friends…”, Ric kicks some dust and sand at the makeshift prison of your compatriots. “This town,” Ric raises his hands and spins around slowly proclaiming to the group and the air, “is mine now. The Golden Leaf is finished, and this dragon will meet her end in the morning. There is no one left to oppose me. I’ve beaten your mayor, your wizard, your soldier, your dragon, your sorceress and your erstwhile pirate.” His laugh echoes across the square, “And I barely had to lift a hand to do it. Trusting folk, the lot of you.” He stops again, his chuckle turning malicious. “I’ve killed many dragons before, and I’ll kill more yet this branch. And someday, maybe even with your help Beatrix, Alghavaz will be in my grasp.”

You clench your fists, ready to enact your plan, when in the distance, you hear a faint whistle. And another. And another. Suddenly, a cacophony of whistles and explosions wash across the town. Fireworks begin to encircle the whole town when suddenly explosions shake your feet. Buddy did it!
Ric looks to the sky, a moment of confusion as townsfolk begin to light their homes and look through their windows.
In the sky, a symbol appears in the fireworks. A giant golden leaf.
“We are more than the sum of our parts, Ric,” Beatrix's voice can be heard clear as day through the chaos. She stands, blood on her shirt, clearly wounded.
“We are one. I am Beatrix but I am also no mere dragon…” A golden light emits from Beatrix’s eyes and the night glows as bright as noon, followed by a blinding flash, before you all, Geist in all her glory radiates energy and hope.
Ric stands, a stunned look in his eyes and seems unable to move.
“...I am also Geist, and your time in Redbrook terrorizing its citizens will meet its end soon enough.”
Geist lowers her wing and your companions clamber on her back before she leaps in the air and flies away into the crackling darkness, backlit by the flashing fireworks and chaos around the town.

From:Buddy
Ric Ryph watches Geist fly in the air. He seems fixed in place, eyes to the heavens for a moment before snapping out of his reverie. A cruel smile crosses his face before he puts his helmet back on and walks away from the town center unfazed.
The town is in a state of panic, fireworks continue to launch from all different points in the city, each punctuating the night with flashes of light, always in a cascade of color followed by a crack that sounds like thunder. Using the flashes of fireworks as your guide, you sneak to the edge of the city, and through the gap Buddy showed you earlier to make your way back to Buddy’s Cave.
At the entrance, you reach your hand out and find a cutlass across your neck.
“Password?” A voice calls out.
You slowly move your hands into your pockets and pull out some skull coins.

The following morning, you wake to the smell of a breakfast of peculiar foods. Cecil is nowhere to be seen, and after some idle chatter, you agree to handle your business at your farm, Buddy seems to think that Ric has no proof other than instinct that you’re involved with the Golden Leaf, and suggests you go on with your day and wait until you hear from the rest of the Golden Leaf before you move forward with how to handle Ric and the various situations that have unfolded.
At your home, a letter awaits you, this time not held by a dagger, but by a small golden pin. As you pull off the pin, a shower of golden light envelops the note, and the script glimmers before you.
{player},
I’ve made many mistakes, and I’m ready to make amends. Let us all gather at your home in two days to clear the air and plan for the reckoning of our erstwhile mayor. This madness has gone on long enough.

If you don’t mind, Rosalie would like to attempt a magical investigation of the eggs.

You never know what may happen when you poke and prod things.
Nevertheless, if you are comfortable with it, and if you don’t mind bringing Rosalie a few things to help with the ethereal delving, maybe Rosalie will find more information about these strange eggs.

These eggs are so strange! They are pushing to be aligned in a particular direction, but they are also pulling for balancing forces. Rosalie thinks that the magic feels a bit like a puzzle, as if, with more pieces, some greater whole might take shape.
Additionally, since Rosalie began the delving, the shape of a triangle was imprinted on her mind’s eye and refuses to clear. Actually, it’s three triangles joined at a central point. Rosalie isn’t certain what it means, but it’s intense and distracting.
Since the triangular pattern refuses to leave her brain, Rosalie has an idea that she would like to try. Are you willing to gather more of these strange eggs?

The image of the triangles is still filling Rosalie’s mind, but it’s different and shifted now.
She arranged all of the eggs into three neat triangles with each triangular group of twelve eggs evenly spaced from the other groups, and with each group pointed toward the golden egg in the middle. As soon as the shape was properly aligned, Rosalie could feel the magic of the eggs settle and shift. That’s when the image in her mind shifted too.
The best way that she can describe it now is three triangles like the eggs, but with a similar pattern repeating within the triangles. It reminds her so much of flowers. Yes! Like petals on a flower.
Rosalie has another idea if you are willing to continue helping. Will you bring her some flowers in primary colors?

Rosalie saw something…a flash and then a vision…she must tell Star…
But first, you deserve an explanation. Rosalie placed each of the inferno spheres at the edge of each triangular group. Then, she moved to the center of the hexagon and held the lava sphere just touching the tip of the golden egg. Nothing happened at first, but then she pulled energy from the inferno spheres into the lava sphere. It started as a trickle and then the energy slipped from her grasp and became a wild torrent. Before she could try to slow it again, a brilliant flash blinded her and she saw a vision. When she could see again, the flowers were gone. The eggs were also gone, except the golden egg, and a strange egg that replaced the lava sphere in her hand.
Rosalie isn’t sure what happened, and she’s very sorry for losing all your eggs and flowers. She…needs to see Star…
Again…she’s so sorry…

On the dawn of the second day, you carry out your various chores, a pile of Cecil’s requested items in the corner. One by one, members of the Golden Leaf approach your home. They all look moderately disheveled, having lived away from the town for a few days. Cecil, by comparison, seems completely normal looking almost picturesque by comparison; as stoic and put together as any other time you’ve seen him outside his home.
Nearly all of the group eyes each other warily as you sit on the back porch out of view of the main road. A quiet tension builds, once again, between friends divided by opinion and varying levels of trust and it’s hard to imagine who will break the silence.

Rosalie, eyes distant and unfocused, clutches her staff in the corner and mutters half to herself, “Star would know what to do.”
Cecil’s eyes widen, and seems ready to retort, when he sees the worry on her face. “You know… he just might in this case. Maybe it’s time we ask him for help?” The group seems varying levels of shocked at this sentiment as Cecil shifts off his cloak and his staff appears as if from thin air in his hands in a sudden movement.
Immediately, Buddy draws his sword and Cecil raises his eyebrows. In a swift fluid motion, Cecil slams his staff on the ground and Buddy drops his sword as it glows a bright cherry color, steam rising from the wood on the deck where his sword lands. No one else in the group moves, shocked by the speed of this event and response. You notice Rosalie begin to shift, but Lorn surreptitiously smiles at her and shakes his head no.
Standing before the group, Cecil addresses everyone, seemingly unfazed by the moments before. “First, I must apologize for both my secrecy and my actions. There are greater things in the world, greater secrets that I and my family have kept for a very long time, you will learn of some of them soon, but for now, just know that I deeply regret how I’ve handled the situation to this point and would like to offer my full uninhibited assistance. Ric Ryph is a serious problem that must be addressed, and his immunity to certain magics cannot be underestimated, it is how he blackmailed me and Star will likely be useless too, but I admit, he may have ideas or solutions that have eluded me. Now, tell me everything, how this whole story began.”

The words pour out of Rosalie quickly, as she begins to discuss the entirety of the past few months, while the group seems stunned into silence by this turn of events and Rosalie’s quick summary. She rummages in her coat and pulls out a letter you recognize as the one that Star gave you and it seems to be glowing in a peculiar manner to her surprise. She is shocked when the text shimmers followed by a dull white flash - with a yelp she drops the paper and picks it up.
So it’s come to this? Well, I can’t say I’m surprised. Riddles are fun but let’s get to the point. Cecil, I need it, I know you have it, and it is the only thing that can turn the tide. ROOMBA can help in the lab. Codephrase: Omnes sumus pulchellus prodigiosum. Aliqui ex nostris meliores sunt ad latendum, id est omnes.

From:Buddy
You awake to the sound of a terrible rumble coming from town. It gently rattles the glass on your nightstand. Outside your bedroom window, the night sky suddenly becomes bright orange and then dims back to normal pale moonlight.
You slowly get out of bed and reluctantly make your way to the window. A large and very black column of smoke is rising slowly from somewhere in Redbrook. You consider going back to bed, but eventually curiosity gets the better of you. After quickly dressing, you make your way to town.
Near the northern edge of town, a hundred meters behind a few small houses, you find the town fire squad working hard to extinguish a bright and narrow, but furious blaze. You’re surprised at how little damage there is given how loud and bright the explosion was from your farm. It appears there was a small structure here that is nearly obliterated, and a black ring extends out in all directions, around 10 meters from the center of the fire.
As you look around, you see a shadowy figure concealed behind a tree to the north of the blaze. The shadowy person appears to be robed, but has a very familiar, clumpy shape to their silhouette. As you continue to look at the shadow, it extends a hand and beckons to you.
Before you can decide whether to go to the summoning shadow, a member of the fire squad calls out to you that the fire isn’t going out and that they think they’re going to need something stronger. Will you find something stronger than water to help extinguish the fire?
Buddy Friendship:50
From:Buddy
The town fire squad quickly puts the items you've brought back to good use. Relief crosses their faces one by one as the raging inferno is pushed back and eventually contained to a small area. As the bright orange blaze diminishes, you find yourself remembering a small and insignificant structure in this area, it was never unkempt, but never looked occupied either. Closing your eyes, you remember seeing a symbol on the door handle, but always thought it was just the mark of a tradesman.
After of moment of reverie, you turn your attention back to the north of the fire to see the same clumpy robed figure. You can see two eyes, and they again extend their hand and beckon you to join them.
Deciding to figure out who and what this person could want, you begin to head north when one of the fire squad cries out, "WATCH OUT, A SECONDARY EXPLOSION!"
The entire fire squad dive on the ground and frozen by indecision, you stand as you feel the ground begin to rumble. The figure by the tree moves quicker than you expect, and you're knocked to the ground by none other than Buddy just as a sound and force, similar to what woke you up, wash over you.
Ears ringing, you look over to see Buddy laying on the ground, seemingly unharmed as the fire squad are now fighting a reignited blaze and while you can't hear what they're saying, they seem to be motioning towards you for more materials like what you've provided previously, and you can't help but feel grateful towards Buddy and quickly go to gather more materials to help them out.
Buddy Friendship:50
From:Buddy
With the additional materials you provided, and a little more time, the fire squad is able to finally contain the reignited fire. Eventually all that remains is a smolder of coals and debris. To your relief, and that of everyone working to put out the blaze, no more large explosions erupt, although several seemingly small ones crackle and pop underground.
While the fire squad is still finishing up their efforts to put out small grass fires that popped up, Buddy grabs your shoulder and points you to the tree he was hiding behind earlier. You understand he wants you to join him away from the excitement, and the two of you quickly and quietly jog to the backside of the tree.
Buddy squats down and you follow his example. Closer now to his massive visage, you notice that there are symbols painted on his face, although they’re hard to fully make out in the pale moonlight. One of the symbols reminds you of the symbol on the door handle you remembered earlier. Before you can ask about it, Buddy whispers.
“Sorry about the ruckus tonight. That wasn’t supposed to happen. I’m glad no one was hurt. I know you have oh so many questions, but I think you should go home and get some rest and meet me back here in the morning. We have a lot of work to do.”
You do, in fact have a lot of questions, but you decide to hold your peace until the morning.
As you stand up to leave, Buddy whispers a request. He wants you to bring a bundle of inferno spheres tomorrow to help eliminate any unexploded devices still remaining in the meeting room.
Now you really do have so many questions, but exhaustion finally saturates your brain and you decide sleep is your only real concern. You wish Buddy a good night, as well as the fire squad heroes as you pass them on your way home.
Buddy Friendship:50
From:Buddy
Sunlight streams through your window, cascading off of the various trinkets in your bedroom in a dazzling display of color. You quickly regret not closing your blinds last night until a thought bolts you upright - you overslept!
Your farm has plenty of morning chores to catch up on, and in the back of your mind, the request from Buddy about explosives, and the strange symbols keep you from focusing fully on the tasks at hand. Your animals seem to take offense to your half-hearted attention as you think about what Buddy could possibly have been doing with such destructive power - and why he had it in the first place.
Chores completed, you realize Buddy never gave you instructions on where to meet him, so you make the assumption to head to the site of the explosion last night and hope to find him there. The area has been largely cordoned off. A few fire squad members wave to you half in exhaustion as you walk by. The area has been decimated and it's a miracle no one was hurt. There is smoke rising from the center of the explosion still, and ash has settled upon the area, a few pieces of misshapen paper and other material strewn about. You think you see a piece of paper with a caricature of a certain friend, but you can't be sure.
As you approach, you notice the tree that Buddy spoke to you behind on the previous night is completely gone. It must have burned up in one of the secondary fires, you think to yourself. You look around a little more and notice another 50 meters further there is another innocuous building and a shadow that beckons you closer. Time for some answers!
"Well, thanks for the spheres matey, but after a quick consultation this morning, I've realized I'm going to need to build some containment units in case we need a more...controlled explosion."
You consider the implication of those words and decide to double the requested materials Buddy needs.
Buddy Friendship:50
From:Buddy
When you return with the additional supplies, Buddy is waiting for you by the small building where he met you earlier. He invites you to follow him around to the entrance of the building and to bring the items you gathered. At the door, he pauses and explains his plan. He begins with little background, as though you already know what’s about to happen.
“We’ll use this service entrance to access the main corridor. Once we reach the common area, I’ll pick up any unexploded devices and bring them to you. You’ll be waiting with the containment apparatus opened. Then, I’ll put the explosive in the container. You’ll move to the safety of the corridor, and I’ll place the inferno sphere in with the explosive and seal the container. I will then quickly move to the corridor with you.”
“When the timer goes off, I’ll check to make sure the explosive was successfully transferred to the lava pools of the Ember Lagoon. If everything goes well, we should have the common area cleared of unexploded devices within an hour.”
Without waiting for your response to this dangerous plan, Buddy opens the door and leads you into a small empty room lit by two glowing lanterns. At the far end of the room another door stands open and a series of steps lead downward. Buddy continues on to the stairs and begins to descend toward the corridor he mentioned. The stairs are well lit by a series of lanterns, but when you reach the bottom of the stairs and the entrance to the corridor, it is black and void. Buddy pauses at the corridor’s entrance and then turns back to you.
“This is too dangerous to do in the dark. We really need a lot of lights. Will you get us some lanterns and candles and bring them down here? I’ll take a lantern from the stairs and scout out the situation ahead.”
Buddy Friendship:50
From:Buddy
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?
Buddy Friendship:50
From:Buddy
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.

As you return, you are shocked to find that the entrance you had been using has completely disappeared. You stand for a moment, perplexed by the sudden turn of events.
You look towards the burned area and to the east, you notice a figure leaving a home you could have sworn was abandoned. How strange, you think to yourself. You step closer and a hand grabs your arm. The familiar form of Buddy falls in lock-step with you.
"Thank you for bringing all these wonderful decorations to our room." Buddy looks around conspiratorially before lowering his voice, "Have you figured it out yet? What we're doing?" He grins at you and once again you notice the strange symbol on his breast pocket. You think for a moment before shaking your head no.
"Well, you'll find out soon enough. You're one of us now, afterall. Speaking of, you'll need to pay your dues as well as the initial fees. I spoke with the other heads and we agreed we can waive the gold costs if you're willing to help us redecorate the entrance shack. So, whaddya say?"
You give a bewildered nod before Buddy hands you another list and bounds off, whistling a tune you don't quite recognize.
Buddy Friendship:50
From:Buddy
Dues in hand, you return to the SGSR entrance. The acronym feels...wrong in your brain and you resolve to discuss the matter with Buddy at his earliest convenience. Before you can knock, the door swings open and a member sweeps you inside, chiding you for your lack of discretion in the process.
The entrance hall is now well lit and lavishly decorated. As you descend the stairs, you can hear faint sounds echoing ahead of you. Glass clinking against glass, shouts of exclamation, and other tidbits of sound you can't place rise in a cacophony of chaos ahead of you. As you arrive in the common room, Buddy is seated in a chair, holding rectangular cards with strange drawings on them yelling at a townsfolk across from him that you don't recognize.
"YOU CAN'T RESOLVE MANA TAP AFTER THE REKEEP STEP! THAT'S A CLEAR VIOLATION OF THE STACK RULES WE ESTABLISHED AFTER THE DISASTER THAT WAS JENKIN'S MISTBIND CLIQUE DECK!"
At another table, someone - probably Jenkins - shouts back, "YOU JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND THE COMPLEXITY AND JOY OF LOCKING ANOTHER PLAYER OUT OF THEIR TURN, BUDDY!"
The chaos is completely overwhelming and while you recognize the words they are saying, the meaning is completely incomprehensible to you. Your escort rings a bell at the bottom of the hall, and the common room goes silent as everyone turns towards you.
Buddy stands up and addresses the room, "Fellow gamers, we have a newbie among us. Who would challenge this one to a rite of passage?"
Every hand in the room raises immediately. Buddy smiles and says, "It's a dice-off! {player}, we're going to need a lot of dice."
Buddy Friendship:50
From:Buddy
With the supplies you brought, the members of Buddy’s organization quickly begin rebuilding what looks like a small house, but is actually a shell for the entryway to the hall below. They even restore the door handle with the strange marking you remembered from the building’s previous incarnation.
Since your part in the restoration is completed, Buddy sends you home with the promise that he will visit you in three days with more information and to collect your membership dues.
“Don’t forget to have your dues ready and fully counted when I arrive, friend!”
Three days later, exactly to the minute, Buddy arrives at your farm carrying a large box. You invite him in, and he quickly follows you and takes a seat, still holding the box.
“Hullo, friend! I have all of your membership items here. I hope you enjoy them! We will have your induction ceremony tomorrow evening, assuming you have your dues ready for me now. If not, there may be some trouble, but I’m sure we won’t have to worry about that.”
Buddy places the box on the floor and invites you to verify its contents before going to get your dues. Inside the box, you find a green cloak, a blue coin purse filled with dice, a stack of cards, a journal, some horseshoes, an hourglass, and three pencils. Seeing these items together a possibility slips into place in your mind and you ask Buddy if his organization is a gaming group.
“Of course it is, silly! I figured you knew that from our emblem. The explosions the other night weren’t from our normal games though. We were trying to set up a game of ‘Keep Talking and Nothing Explodes’. Unfortunately, the explosive devices were a little too explosive in our testing. Next time, we’ll use much smaller and weaker explosives. Most of the time our games are much safer and mainstream, but Jenkins was in charge this time and he’s a bit…eccentric.”
This information sets your mind at ease, but now you’re curious about the secrecy of this group. You ask Buddy and he smiles and explains.
“The secrecy is just for fun, plus it’s part of our name. We’re the Secret Gaming Society of Redbrook! Well, you are too now! Ha! Speaking of which, do you have your dues?”
Buddy Friendship:50
From:Buddy
A dice-off among this secret society is, as you soon find out, a game of dice involving two players rolling two dice each to get closest to seven with the smallest gap between the two numbers rolled. Ties require a re-roll. In this particular format, each matchup is won by getting two wins out of three total rolls.
In this very particular instance, Buddy distributed six dice to every member of the society and then two dice to you. He then instructed all of the society members to roll their three turns onto the table in front of them, separated neatly and clearly for you to come roll against. If there are any ties, the member is expected to re-roll with you until the tie is broken.
“Your mission”, Buddy says, “is to defeat two thirds of the members of this society. Do that, and you’re in. Fail to do it, and you won’t be able to join the SGSR.”
Oh good, a statistically improbable situation.
Despite the odds set against you, you approach each table, roll three times with each member of the society, re-roll ties, and then document whether you won or lost on a scorecard Buddy made for you. After all of your matchups, you find, and Buddy verifies, that you won three matches short of half of the total matches. Nowhere near two thirds.
“It’s ok.” Buddy says. “I don’t think anyone has won two thirds on their first try. The good news is you can keep trying. The bad news is you can’t join the SGSR. The really great news is you are welcome to attend our monthly potluck dinner tomorrow evening, if you’d like.”
Buddy Friendship:50
From:Buddy
Along with your contributions to the potluck dinner, you also bring the box of membership items that Buddy gave you as you return to the society’s secret headquarters. This time, Jenkins greets you at the entryway with a quizzical expression, but motions you onward to the common area.
As you enter the common area, you see a long stretch of tables connected together and covered with such a variety and quantity of food that you’re sure no crowd this size could ever eat it all. You place your potluck contributions on the table and then you and your box go and find a seat at one of the other tables spread around the great hall.
Before you have a chance to start looking around the hall, Buddy is in the seat next to you wondering why you brought your membership box.
“You’re not giving up, are you?”
You assure Buddy that you’re not giving up. Instead, you assumed the society would want their items back until you pass the dice-off test.
“But you just passed the real test!” Buddy interjects. “You didn’t give up! I said you couldn’t join the SGSR, but that’s not us. We’re actually the Gaming And More - Enigmatic Redbrook Society, or GAMERS for short. The test to join GAMERS was just to enjoy gaming and be a good sport about it. I’d say you definitely passed that entry requirement, friend.”
To make it official, Buddy jumps up in his chair and announces you as the newest member of the Gaming And More - Enigmatic Redbrook Society. After a round of applause, various cheers and hoots, and a booming “HURRAY!” from Buddy, Buddy invites everyone to eat.
As the other society members begin to browse the food and fill their plates, Buddy hops off his chair and congratulates you. He then pulls a pair of dice from his pocket and presents them to you.
“Keep these secret and safe. They will allow you to enter the society’s underground headquarters, along with a few other secret locations around Redbrook. You should come play cards at the secret card house!”
Not for the first time, or the last, you wonder if Buddy is this clever on purpose or if he just stumbles into these things.

“Oh hi, {player} it’s been a while! Baba here said you referred him to me and I'm so grateful to help another budding culinary specialist in Redbrook, and thank goodness it’s not pies for once! But…cabbages?” Her face contorts briefly as Baba looks at her.
“MY CABBAGES!!!!!!”
Mariya ignores Baba’s exclamation and suggests a few different options for their stew and asks if you could bring them back to her.
You bring some extra cabbages too, because it just feels right.

Mariya is hard at work in her kitchen following Baba’s stew idea while sprinkling in a few of her own ideas at the same time. Each recipe comes out and Baba shakes his head each time.
“Too cabbagey. Not enough cabbage. Too many peppers. Milk? Blech! Syrup in stew?” You hear Baba utter a few more thoughts at the various ideas before an ear piercing scream, “MARIYA, MARIYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!”
Mariya comes blustering down the stairs, flour on her apron, and some dough across her cheek. “Yes chef?!” she blurts out.
Baba takes a step back and Mariya blushes fiercely, “...sorry it’s an old habit.”
“Well, so far none of these recipes have worked, is cabbage really this difficult to work with?”
“I think maybe we’ve gone too complicated Baba, let’s go back to the basics. What flavors do you really want to shine?”
Baba thinks for a moment before writing down his original list, but simpler and hands it to Mariya who simply nods in approval and passes you the list.

Eventually there are eight different pots all stewing various recipes. Baba steps away after a few hours to check in on his shop which he left to Cecil during this process.
Baba returns after a few hours.
“My cabbages! They smell so delicious and they’re selling so well! Thanks {player} for being my original supplier. I hope we can work together more over the coming years to make Cabbage Corporation the greatest cabbage destination in the world! Speaking of which, we’re going to need more cabbages for the reveal of the stew. Can you get me some more cabbages that we can give away during the tasting? Yip yip!

You return to Cabbage Corp to find an elaborate display of stews presented, with some in various bowls, and spoons provided. The turnout is enormous, it seems like everyone is buying into the cabbage hype, much to your surprise.
The day proceeds without a hitch, Baba sells more cabbages than seems possible and everyone votes on their favorite stew.
Baba explains to the crowds, “Four of these stews are my personal creation and four of these are the creations of our good friend Mariya! Please vote on your favorite and it will become a mainstay of Cabbage Corp!”
The crowd shuffles through with compliments handed out all around. By the end of the day, everyone seems exhausted but satisfied and Baba, Mariya, and Cecil tally the votes together in the back.
Baba steps forward to announce the votes:
“In 8th place is Mariya’s Egg Cabbage Stew, in 7th place is Baba Gec’s Cheesy Cabbage Stew, in 6th place is Baba Gec’s Leek-splosion Cabbage Stew, in 5th place is Mariya’s Grape Cabbage Stew, in 4th place is Baba Gec’s Cabbage Cabbage and More Cabbage Stew, in Third place is Mariya’s Summer Selection Cabbage Surprise Stew, in 2nd place is Mariya’s Seasoned Cabbage Stew which means… I won? I won! Baba Gec’s Plain Old Cabbage Stew!”
Mariya enthusiastically shakes Baba’s hand and congratulates him. “You can be my wing-chef anytime, chef!” She waves gratefully to the few who stayed for the results and steps away.
Baba smiles widely and motions for you to sit down. “Well, this went far better than I expected, maybe you could bring me one more shipment of cabbages? I’ve already got some ideas from a local shipman that wants to bring cabbages from all over the world, but truth be told, yours have been my favorite so far and the townsfolk seem to agree.

From:Star Meerif
In a sound all too familiar, feathers shower your floor and Star Meerif appears, sitting on a fancy chair, face impassive and unreadable.
“Greetings {player}, it has been a while. I’ve missed our interactions quite a lot, and despite appearances, I’m quite fond of both your help and your tenacity. I’ve run into a problem and I’m looking to you for help.”
Star stands up and begins pacing while looking thoughtfully towards you every few moments.
“Can I tell you a secret? You see, magic is funny. My mentor used to tell me that magic was ten percent luck, twenty percent skill, fifteen percent concentrated power of will, five percent pleasure, and sixty percent unexplained. Obviously it’s more complicated than that, but the reality is sometimes you need real effort to power magic. It’s not just about specific coloration or gems, but their transmatrical energy is absolutely an important part of a spell's efficacy. Modern magical theory really struggles to explain the antimatter resonances between aligning matrices and aligning the energy investiture that is passed from naturally occurring sources of cranial application. In “T’rah: A History,” there have been several notable wizards who started the study of investiture of non-matter energy, mainly Dansernos in 223 and Byrer in 447…”
You begin to nod off as Star continues in detail about T’rah and magical theory. Deciding enough is enough, you step away to cook some breakfast as Star continues on, pacing the entire time.
“{player}, I’m stuck! I need help! I…we…won that treasure map in exciting fashion. No one ever considered hiding so many flags on a planeshifted dimensional warp between light and dark, but even now I’ve no idea what the map means!”
Star produces an identical copy of your treasure map and guffaws as you produce the same map.
“Oh, I made a copy, sorry. Anyways, let me sum up the problem. There’s a magical energy hidden in this map but I need to match it’s transmatrical energy and I realized there is so much effort put into this map I can’t possibly do it alone. I was hoping you could help me match the emanations of investment from the map and we could find the treasure together. I’ve been working on this so long that I will do my best to reward you in excess of the time and energy you’ve spent here, afterall it’s been almost an entire branch I’ve spent on this problem!”
Star hands you a list of items and you quickly realize he was not kidding about the amount of work this was going to take.
Tower:199
From:Star Meerif
Star takes all of the things you’ve brought him and moves them into unique piles. He mutters some words and the space around the items begins to shimmer. You watch as one by one each pile contracts and warps the space around it. Blinking your eyes, the sight makes you feel a little woozy and after a moment, only a handful of treasure chests remain on the ground. “The old Chest of Holding trick, learned this one from a book, but the subpixel alignment was tricky…” He pauses a moment before looking at you, “Well, guess we’ll have to take these back by hand. Next time we’ll add feathers to the mix and speed up the lattice transference. And I just love featherfall.”
Star’s tower is as majestic as it is plain and uniquely magical. Surfaces glitter in the light, and there is a seam in the middle from the damage Geist inflicted to the tower in the past, but that only seems to add to the mystique and beauty of the building. Crystal parapets reflect sunlight, glittering rooftops shimmer in extraordinary ways reacting to unseen inputs, a direct contrast to the staid concrete walls and windows. You are directed towards the basement and with each step you descend, the walls widen until you reach a room that is clearly bigger than the entirety of the base of the tower, which your brain struggles to rationalize.
Star arranges the treasure chests in a circle and with a wave of his hand, they empty their contents, a rush of power and air sweeping by you as all the items expand back to their previous sizes. Star stands in the middle of the room, the treasure map laid before him, a single ring from each of the rings you brought to him plucked from the pile, and a double inset ring in the middle.
He stretches his arms forth and you can sense a tingle in the back of your mind. The magical energy in the basement is palpable, as invisible runes suddenly come to life, lining the walls in a dazzling display of color.
As quickly as it begins, the runes fade, and a single speck of light falls from between Star’s outstretched arms, and lands on the map, causing a flare of color.
Star laughs with glee at the sight. “I knew it! The transference of rarity, effort and talent all combined to help power this spell of finding! {player}, we need more! More! I think we need to adjust the expenditure slightly, so I’ve made some modifications to your list. Hopefully we’ll get a clearer picture of what that map is hiding next time. Oh, and, thanks {player}.”
Tower:199
From:Star Meerif
You return to your home, and Star greets you warmly. As he gathers your materials in a similar fashion to before, he spreads the feathers around the outer bounds of the items. “A circle is a powerful tool in the hands of a skilled practitioner.” He motions you to step into the circle and Star pulls a staff out of thin air and begins to speak.
“This is gonna be a little wild. TEL-”
The world rushes around you and you feel as though you’re being pulled into a tiny string. The world elongates around you as shapes and colors rush past you, distorted and wonderful and awful all at the same time.
“EDORUS!”
As suddenly as it begins, you find yourself in the basement of Star’s tower.
“What a rush! I’ve never done a side-along with a non-magic user before, it worked out well! Now you know why I love that spell so much!”
You nod tentatively as you try to regain your senses and composure.
“Anyways, let’s do a little more power transference with a hint of finding magic this time, shall we?”
Star arranges the myriad of items once again and casts his spell. You see another flicker of light falling from Star’s hands to the map, this time revealing a small line.
Star whoops with glee and immediately hands you another list.
He smiles, “I’d say we’re about 50% of the way there, and I’m so very grateful for your help! I promise to etch your name into the hall of findings once we’re done.”
Tower:199
From:Star Meerif
You follow the same process as last time.
On your second teleportation trip, you swear you see a reflection of yourself as you are stretched and smashed.
The treasure map gleams a little brighter after the spell and Star addresses you frankly.
“So, I’ve definitely underestimated the amount of effort and investitudiny this spell is going to take. We’ll need to crank up some more rare items and have some lowered expectation for effort versus rewards for a bit. I, however, am grateful for your help and hope to reward you for your effort more cleanly than this spell is doing. And who knows what we’ll find at the end of this map.”
You get the odd feeling something isn’t quite right. When have you ever seen a spell from Star ever take this much…work?
Tower:199
From:Star Meerif
You continue to follow the process as Star has laid out. He’s been surprisingly patient and calm throughout this process, but it definitely feels like slow and steady progress, as opposed to some of his other magical efforts, which have been more…immediate.
Still, you press on, curious about the end of the map, and because Star seems ever the more grateful after every trip.
Tower:199
From:Star Meerif
“I’ve been doing some research into another ancient wizard, from the 100’s - Adonihs - who studied the breakdown of magical effects more extensively. He mentions that magic is somehow written as an image in the mind, as much as it is the items we use, or the words we project. Adonihs was more than a wizard, he was a wordsmith. Truly ahead of his time in so many areas…”
Star breaks off his reverie as you finish arranging your latest return of items.
“Oh yes, {player}, I feel we are closer, ever closer. I even feel a little bad about using those Langstaff Flags or whatever for our game, but I never dreamt we’d be on the precipice of discovering something so new in our lifetime. So much knowledge has been lost, I can only piece together so much…if only I could dilate time and stuff myself in a pocket dimension for a few millenia. Maybe that would work with a pinch of light and dark?”
Again Star’s rambling has him looking past you with the distant glare of someone lost in thought. You cough gently and Star is roused from his thoughts.
“Well, let’s get this underway shall we? No time like now! That’s why it’s called the present, am I right?”
He chortles to himself, and after the spell, a clear line emerges on the map. You recognize some of the landscape, it seems to be a depiction of a pre-Redbrook time, somewhere to the west.
Star hands over your reward, and you head out with another list.
Tower:199
From:Star Meerif
Returning to Star’s tower, you find the basement worse for wear. Treasure chests and various trinkets in states of disrepair are strewn across the floor. You see sparkles of jewels twinkling off of firelight in the walls. Stepping closer, you realize these are rings in various states of destruction embedded in the walls.
As you survey the room more closely, you see a hooded figure laying in the middle - Star! Dodging the debris, you rush towards him as he stiffly sits up. Relieved, he looks up to you, “Well, that didn’t work…”
He looks around the basement and looks to you with an apologetic smile, “I tried a shortcut, but now I’ve set us back to the beginning. We’re going to have to start this whole process over again. It turns out metaphysical creations metastasize inverted energetic positrons to deconstruct invection properties quite poorly.”
He waves his hand and a list generates for you. You feel bad for him and wonder what shortcut he was envisioning and how it could have such disastrous consequences for the both of you.
Tower:199
From:Star Meerif
You return to Star’s tower and head into the basement. It has been cleaned up entirely, with the map sitting in the middle of the room. It glows slightly, and you can see the familiar topography of your region, but something strikes you as off about the whole view. It feels…skewed as if done from memory. Inspecting the map for a few moments longer, you realize Star has not visited you yet and you head up into his tower, finding him sitting dejected in his sitting room.
He gives you a half-hearted wave. The sitting room is a luxurious purple and green. The sofa is a material you’ve never seen before, and various pictures adorn the walls. They shift in the light and glimmer softly. After a moment, Star stands and addresses you, “I’m sorry, {player}, in my haste for discovering what this map said, I tried using a form of transmutation to shortcut the items required, but instead of supercharging this spell of clarification, it actually absorbed some of the magic in an exvestitation like I’ve never seen before.” He sighs, and offers you an orange juice before shuffling off to the basement. “Really, I am sorry, but your help still means the world to me. Oh and, don’t tell Rosalie about this, would you?”
You follow him to the basement, feeling rejuvenated by his orange juice and candor.
Items piled around, Star begins to cast the spell again and halfway through his motions he stops. “Great Scott! That’s it!”
He stops and moves the rings into a new pattern and looks to you excitedly, “I know how to speed this up, it’s…temporally related somehow! This map doesn’t exist where it should! No wonder it was taking so much juice, it’s not from now!”
Waving his hands, he hands you a list as he mutters to himself about realigning the future and past according to the tomes of Thafeproc the Wise, using Ylberian methods combined with Romuskan gravitronic coupling.
Tower:199
From:Star Meerif
As you arrive in Star’s tower basement, he stands in the center and greets you with open arms.
“{player}, can you feel it? Now that I’ve figured out the trick, it’s all working so marvelously. I’ve even marked off Tuesday, Wednesday, and Sunday from the equatorial denomination of enervescence! I think now we can be done in just two more quick requests. Progress is not lost, you know what they always say, ‘You have to break several cartons of eggs to make a hickory omelette!’ Well at least that’s what Mariya told me once. Anyways, I’ve got to work on this spell some more. There’s a misalignment between how many Leaves and Branches I’m channeling in the 87th chakramma.”
He waves his hand and another list appears in your hands. This one is titled,
“NO SERIOUSLY ONLY ONE MORE AFTER THIS.”
Tower:199
From:Star Meerif
Star is positively brimming with excitement as you finish bringing in the last of the items.
“{player}, are you familiar with time? The construct is so fascinating. Ever heard of a wormhole? A diagetical explanation of apocryphal Merfi paradoxical analogies with lack of evidence wrapped in sheep’s clothing? Feh! I tell you the truth, now that I understand. This map is not from here. It positively radiates magic that is impossible. It’s so familiar and yet so…mysterious. The secret was feathers. And strangely…a few lemons.”
He waves his hand and a list materializes in your hands.
“If my calculations are correct, and I’m a wizard, not a mathematician, this is the last thing we’ll need. See you soon, {player}, and all will be explained!
…I hope.”

Star takes the organized items and arranges them in a precise manner you don’t fully understand. Each item is placed even more delicately than usual - Star’s intensity is in full display as your anticipation for the spell’s conclusion builds, hoping against hope this was your last request and he can proceed.
Finally, when all is said and done, you see a look of disgust on Star’s face as he places the lemon directly on top of the map. “What I wouldn’t give for some gloves and an incineration facility.”
Star stands back, and begins to raise his arms. For a moment, nothing happens. You see a look of strain on Star’s face and finally a spark coalesces into a dazzling pulsating pinpoint of light from between his outstretched hand and falls gently towards the map.
As the pinpoint of light descends towards the map, it begins to get brighter and brighter until you are forced to avert your eyes and a sound like a rushing tornado hits you - from across the room Star cries out and a rush of wind and energy envelops you as your vision grows dark.
Tower:199
From:Star Meerif
When you regain consciousness - you are in unfamiliar confines. The room is well lit with glowing balls of light that hang from the ceiling, not unlike some of the technology you recognize as Romuskan. Sitting up, you find yourself in a room covered with books in various states of age and dust while unfamiliar markings cover the floor. There are two banners hanging on each side of the wall with a symbol that you do not recognize, and Star seems to be leafing through books. The bookshelves are made of a material you do not recognize, and you notice there seems to be no doors or windows in the room at all.
A small desk sits at the middle of the room, with a bed and several chairs haphazardly placed to allow easy access to all the shelves.
“ACCESS GRANTED. WELCOME SON OF MEERIF. THE ARCHIVE HAS BEEN ATTUNED.”
You bolt upright - this is a voice you recognize from your first trip to the Romuskan castle. Star seems unconcerned however, and you notice his hand is placed on a piece of metal and glass that retracts into the ground after a moment.
Star looks back to you and smiles grimly. “Well, we found it. The anchor was a lemon. I will have to spend more time learning here, but this seems to be the vault of my ancestors and many more ancient wizards - I don’t know how it got here, or how the map lead me here, but there seems to be a reason I’m here, and it’s thanks to your help and persistence I’ve arrived here. On the walls sits a treasured family heirloom, the Meerif crest. I want to give this to you as thanks, {player}. I will send you home for now, but I will need to learn more about this place. I’m truly grateful to your help, but let’s keep this to ourselves for now, eh?”
Star throws a handful of feathers over you and that unfamiliar sensation of being pushed and pulled into a thousand different directions overwhelms you, and that strange sense of seeing yourself in a mirror overtakes you before suddenly you’re once again in your home.
You're left to wonder what exactly just happened. The memory of the Romuskan voice and the experience of teleportation combine to leave a shiver down your spine. Maybe tomorrow you'll get to farm in peace...

Star recently found a book of spells by Martholemew Emmettus, the royal mage of Vayllehill. One of the more interesting spells was missing some details, but it was intended to power a strange device. Star is almost certain that the device is capable of taking any matter and converting it to raw energy. Think of what we could do with that!
The device was easily assembled and Star has already cast the containment and transmogrification spells to get the device working. The spell book now suggests some very specific items to use to prime the device. Actually, it looks like a list of garbage, but these items do have very strong magical identity matrices that are in perfect alignment this time of year.

With a satisfying click, you disable the traps of Pirate Cove’s secret entrance. Buddy was right, it never gets old. The immediate din of activity shocks you. Navigating through the tunnels, you can hear extremely unusual commotion in the distance. Moving slowly, you edge towards an outcropping, the cliff you normally fish from is quiet, but the echoes of activity bounce through the cave walls and the cove all the same. You decide to go deeper into the cove, through a tunnel that you have never needed to pass through before, and using your knowledge of the cove’s defense system, you realize none of the traps are active.
Inching forward, you see a different cove, larger and bustling with activity. A massive ship sits directly in the middle. It is painted a dark black, and the sails shimmer in the sunlight - oscillating between white and black in a strange and hypnotizing pattern that make it hard to pin down what their intended color is. On the crows nest, a single small flag sits with a skull and crossbone - pirates!.
You attempt to count their number when you realize that there are even more ships outside the cove. How could anyone have missed this?
Realizing you could be caught, you slink back into the dark passages and back to the quietness of your fishing cove. You will have to bring proof back to Borgen and Holger of this change, and you might have some questions for Buddy as well…

“Ah yes, {player} what a pleasure to see you today! Perhaps we could have lunch and discuss a matter of great importance to me?”
His nervousness and unease show through his greeting, and you feel compelled to hear him out. You both finish your walk back to the farm and you begin setting a table for lunch.

After a hearty lunch with some pleasant, if uneasy, small talk with Holger about the weather, and various potato crop rumors, you are the first to see Borgen walking up to your home. You find this more than strange, a visit from the mysterious and nomadic Borgen to your home? Normally you find him in the market - if you find him at all.
Holger, in the middle of discussing potato stock prices, notices your attention stray for a moment and he immediately jolts when he notices his brother approaching your door.
He stands up and quickly growls, “Really? You low-down good for nothing... It's been four weeks since I saw you last, and you show up here to talk to {player} instead of letting me know you're alright?!”
Borgen offers a wide and surprisingly disarming smile to this accusation, spreading his hands in a non-threatening gesture he looks from you to Holger, “Brother, is that any way to greet me?”
Borgen pulls a satchel from his back with a heaping mound of steak and potatoes.
Holger looks from you back to Borgen and then laughs, giving Borgen a hug that envelops the smaller man entirely.
“Perhaps we should have second lunch? It’s been far too long!”

One of the strangest lunar events that George has ever seen damaged part of his shed last night. George couldn’t sleep. So, he decided to go for a walk. While he was out walking and taking in the cool night air, the moon was waning down to its last, smallest sliver of light. In that very moment as the last minuscule drop of light was ebbing away, it suddenly broke off and hurtled right toward George. Fortunately, it went several dozen meters over his head. Unfortunately, it grazed the eaves of George’s shed and then cratered into his garden.

As you follow Lorn on his daily trek through the woods to forage items, he pauses and watches a storm stir the clouds above. In that moment, a dark and disturbed whinny echoes through the forest. Continuing in the direction of the noise, you cautiously come upon the source of the disruption.
"Alpie!! Easy! What's gotten into you?!" a voice pleads as you see a rider struggling with a dark steed. Suddenly, the startled horse rears back, dropping its rider before bolting through the clearing, and vanishing beyond the trees.
"Blasted steed!"
At the sight of the disaster, you hurry with Lorn over to the rider, only to be greeted by a neck bereft of its head. Acting instinctively, despite his shock, Lorn calls out. "...Are you...alright?"
In response, a voice rises from beside the rider’s body. "I appreciate your concern, but no…" At that, the body seizes a pumpkin lying on the ground to the side of one leg, and pops it into place on the empty neck. A jack o’ lantern face grins at Lorn, and the voice speaks once more. "...Unless you can summon my horse back here. He likes...candy corn."

To your great surprise, the horse reappears and calmly trots back to the pumpkin-headed Hessian as soon as the candy corn is piled on the ground. While the dark steed grazes on the beloved candy, the horseman begins to speak.
"Thank you for your help. I am the headless horseman, and this is my horse Alptraum, Alpie for short." At the introduction of its name, the horse bows its head and flares its nostrils in greeting. Then, the horseman continues. "We were exiled here through a portal to your fine woods. Our neighbor, a rather powerful witch, sent us through the portal after we accidentally trimmed the daisies in her yard. Alpie and I were just trying to tidy up our lawn. " The Horseman sighs.
"I see..." Lorn nods.
"I can get us home...but I will be needing some help in this unfamiliar land." As he begins to write on a tattered piece of parchment you prepare yourself for the work ahead. Your mental preparation is quickly interrupted as the Hessian hands Lorn a surprisingly short list of items. "Here's what I need."

As the spell’s light slowly dims...the horseman and Alpie are...not transported home.
"Curses! I said the words! What's missing??"
The Hessian turns to look at the circle and his lantern eyes dim a little in disappointment.
"Ah! It appears I've forgotten a few items."

Once more, you and Lorn bring the items requested by the horseman. This time, he begins by putting on a wizard hat and setting the candy corn and pumpkins in a circle. As he starts to speak the unknown magic, the pumpkins start glowing. Then, they start growing around each other, forming a solid ring of fused pumpkins and candy corn. The ground starts to rumble. The bright light appears again and…there is Alpie munching on the candy corn set in the circle.
The Hessian cries out, "Alpie! No!!!"
Unfortunately, the warning comes too late, and a vine from the now-enormous pumpkin ring lashes out, knocking the Hessian clear of the spell’s circle. With the horseman’s control now broken, the pumpkin circle shrivels and collapses with the spell's fading light.
You quickly follow Lorn over to assist the downed horseman, and offer a hand to help him up. Lorn extends a hand in front of the horseman's eyes and asks, "How many fingers am I holding up?"
The Hessian, dazed by the powerful blow from the vine, looks at Lorn's hand and replies. "...Thirteen?"

"Oh dear...We’re going to need some things to help him recover."

Then suddenly, flames burst from the Hessian’s pumpkin head and he cries out.
“I REMEMBER!”
The horseman then begins to desperately dig through his pockets until he finds one last torn slip of parchment and his pencil. He furiously scribbles a list and then extends it to Lorn.
"This is it! It’s all I need. I’m sure of it!" As the horseman speaks, the flame-like light in his eyes relaxes to a soothing, joyful glow.
Once again Lorn accepts the horseman’s list and then offers his own assurance. "Very well. We’ll find what you need."

With all of the items gathered from his list, the horseman sets the circle once more and begins to chant his spell. This time, the magic works smoothly and Alpie resists the urge to snack. A bright purple light sprouts from the ground and a portal opens to the Hessian's home. The horseman’s carved grin looks somehow happier than usual and his inner flame roars in excitement. He turns to face you and Lorn, and then bows gratefully.
"Thank you so much for your help."
"It was our pleasure. We both love a good adventure. Now don’t forget to mind those daisies?" Lorn chuckles.
The Hessian nods, and then gracefully swings into Alpie’s saddle.
"Excellent advice, my friend." the horseman says around his own chuckles and Alptraum’s whinny.
“Alpie, take us home.”
The horseman and his dark steed trot into the portal. As soon as they’re through, the gateway vanishes, the light extinguishes, and the remnants of the circle turn to dust. In the center of the circle where the Hessian stood, you now see a dark axe with a slip of parchment pinned between its blade and the ground. You pull the axe from the ground and Lorn picks up the parchment.
“It’s a note from the horseman.” Lorn says before reading it aloud. “Thanks again for all the help. I’ve never met any better or more helpful people than the two of you. I hope if you ever find yourself neck deep in trouble, or even just more adventure, this axe can be my way of lending you a hand.”

As predicted, Vincent ended up in the cage.
Holger asked Vincent to assist him with cornering the giant golden turkey while you gave them both signals of its position from atop the ridge. Everything was going smoothly, and the team effort had trapped the turkey within a fifty meter break in the ridge. Just as Holger was lining up a shot with his sturdy bow, a sudden “Huzzah!” rang out from above him and a man-sized cage came hurtling down out of nowhere. Vincent shoved Holger out of the cage’s path just in time to save Holger from imprisonment. Unfortunately, that shove put Vincent right in position to be caged.
As the cage clanged into place and trapped Vincent, three loud horn blasts came from above. Then, before Holger could get back to his feet, the golden turkey charged toward the cage, leapt over it, and vanished back into the canyons of Cane Pole Ridge.
“Huzzah! Huzzah! Huzzah!” Buddy called again from atop the ridge.
Because of your help and his preparations, Vincent was out of the cage in a few moments, and he and Holger charged after the great bird. Unfortunately, your attempts to help spy the turkey out from above were fruitless, and Vincent’s and Holger’s swift pursuit found nothing but a few golden feathers.
Holger continued to try to find the golden turkey for another full day. He tried to lure it out with horned beetles and corn, spread from one end of Cane Pole Ridge to the other, but nothing came for his bait.
Meanwhile, Buddy vanished and didn’t reappear until a few moments before the party was about to begin the trek home.

A visitor arrived at Star’s tower last night, but Star found himself rather unprepared to care for a guest, especially one that he unintentionally pulled through a cauldron of interuniversal ether. Fortunately, the purple haired visitor has a good sense of humor about the mixup, and he’s very understanding since he also happens to be a fellow aficionado of magical research.
Once his guest wakes, Star will be sending the wizard back to his proper universe, but before he does, Star would like to give the wizard a few gifts for his troubles. Will you help Star find a few things that symbolically say, “Thanks for having a good attitude about being pulled through an interuniversal cauldron mistakenly, and I hope your trip back is significantly less nauseating”?

Jill is pretty stressed out right now. On the days that she gets to work on her mechanical projects, she feels great. On the days she has to work the fields, she has this nagging bundle of discomfort in her stomach. Today is a day in the fields.
What Jill needs is something to do in the fields when she can’t endure the crop work anymore. Then, she can take a quick break to refresh herself and relieve that stomachache.
Jill has the perfect idea! When she was young, Jill’s parents would help her fly kites during the early spring. It was so relaxing and so fun. Now, she could easily fly a kite anytime she gets overwhelmed in the fields. Will you help Jill find a decent kite?
Note: The item requested can be found in the Magical Chest 01, which can be obtained from trading with other players, the 28-day Daily Chores reward, or the

No longer addressing you, Star paces across your living room, muttering under his breath and gesticulating wildly. A small floating quill follows behind the pacing mage, furiously scratching down notes on a long sheet of parchment hovering a few centimeters behind Star’s back.

The pirate spits at Buddy derisively. “There’s a plague comin’ mate, best figure out if youse is the contagion or the dead.”
Buddy takes a menacing step towards the pirate and the pirate immediately turns tail and runs.
“Well, now you might have an idea why Holger might be mad at me…”
Vincent suggests rigging some extra defensive measures tonight before the town council meeting.

There doesn’t seem to be much you can do but follow Buddy back to his cave. It’s a dull walk, and after a bit, Buddy seems to have settled into his cave and you see signs of a fire near the mouth of the cave. You decide it would be a good time to work on some carving and crafting to keep your mind occupied while you keep watch.

“Pirates are bad news, all the way around.” You see Holger half-heartedly picking at some breakfast as George is speaking.
“Well, they wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for Buddy, as far as I’m concerned,” retorts Holger. The two of them stop as they see you approach and clear their throats.
Vincent gives you an earnest but frustrated look as he addresses you frankly. “We’re just concerned, {player}, what if those pirates attack Redbrook in full force? What greater recourse do we have? By all accounts, there’s multiple crews, multiple ships! I’d rather deal with a dictator than pirates, as frustrating as that is to say out loud. Buddy has proven a stalwart ally, but I worry he is too intimately involved with this crew to be objective.”
A new voice enters the room, stern and authoritative, “He may be intimately involved, but that means he may be your best solution too. Shame on you both for ostracizing someone who has given Redbrook so much over the past few years. I had hoped cooler heads would prevail, but I find you both here stirring dissent instead of solutions.” Cecil stands before the three of you, and sufficiently cowed, you see Holger and Vincent looking apologetic.
Vincent takes a moment before standing, “You’re right, Cecil, we should be using one of the town’s most loyal resources, and I feel terrible that I let personal doubt or mistrust get in the way of a good solution.”
Holger nods, a little more sullenly and adds, “Perhaps we should bring our friend a token of our appreciation and see how he would address this pirate crew.”

You approach Buddy’s cave/home, and George pops out from behind some dense shrubbery. “Ni!” he splutters as he trips and stumbles. After gathering himself he gives a bit of a salute and says, “Nothing to report here! Buddy has had a fire lit since last night, and I’ve just been admiring the landscape!”
Vincent quickly fills George in with the plan, and the four of you step towards Buddy’s cave, and as you enter the mouth of the cave, you see the resplendent view of coins, gems, and other various tokens and baubles that have been placed almost haphazardly. On closer inspection it could almost seem that they had been placed in such a precise and meticulous fashion to dazzle a guest with a blinding display of vibrant colors across the entire room.
Your eyes adjust to the flickering light of a well made fire that is clearly on its last legs, surrounded by some cleverly placed mirrors that seem to enhance the light of the fire to make it look much brighter and fuller than reality.
“Buddy! Where are you?!” Vincent shouts, but only the crackling of the embers of the fire and the echo of Vincent’s voice greet you.
“Stars and stones! He’s gone!” Holger says breathlessly.
George takes a moment of looking absolutely befuddled before Vincent spots some tracks heading off to a wall where they end mysteriously.
“Skull coins! I should have known…” Vincent points to the various indentations. It seems you’ll need some coins to open this mysterious passage.

The final coin inserted - the passage slides open whisper quiet - the cracks and mechanisms betray the look of stone to be a more modern contraption of some kind but camouflaged. It looks somehow familiar - Romuskan, but at the same time, not. Mysteries for another day, you hope.
The passage leads to a small dock behind a waterfall. There, you see a single boat moored. It looks like it’s seen better days, and you also see a shadow slipping through the waterfall. Buddy!
George, Vincent, and Holger pore over the boat, but it seems more like a skiff to your eyes on second inspection. It would hold all four of you, probably, with some repairs. You all get to repairs as quickly as possible, noting the shadow of Buddy’s boat slipping into the distance in a watery shimmer.

Boat repaired, your erstwhile crew punt into the open water. The water is strangely calm behind the waterfall, and with some of the poles you’ve made, you begin to note the water gets deeper and darker as you approach the waterfall. Shielding yourself from the falling water with your cloak, suddenly, the blue sky and sun arrive and the roar of a waterfall, water coursing from an unknown source is crashing behind you.
Buddy’s boat is barely visible, but with some looking glasses and quick thinking, Vincent steers the boat while you and George take oars and Holger deftly maneuvers the sails.
Mercifully after what seems like hours, George stops rowing, clearly winded. You stop rowing too, your arms and lungs burn ferociously. And yet, despite your efforts you are no closer to Buddy than when you started. Vincent scowls and directs the skiff towards land as he sees you’ve both stopped.
It’s clear you are going to need something with more power if you’re going to catch Buddy or head into any more open waters alone. Vincent looks towards you, “We’ll need some nautical help. I’m sure he was headed towards Pirate’s Cove, but if we’re going to approach there unnoticed, we’ll need the help of someone far more experienced. Someone’s gonna have to convince Ragvin to help us…”

As you inch closer, you hear him begin to recite a story about northern Bahltruvian eggplants. He motions you closer and whispers, “Quick, I’m gonna need some special eggplants - and some special effects!"

He throws the cutlass in the air, catches it with his right hand and deftly cleaves the eggplant in two, both sides falling to his feet dramatically. The crowd gasps and after a moment begin to clap excitedly. As a finale, all of the special effects go off and the crowd is at this point raucously cheering. He bows and smiles and steps away from the crowd.
“Nice timing! We’ve got to do a reconnoiter of the walls after the incident and then I can probably explain why Holger is so upset. “

Since ROOMBA cannot provide expertise and guidance for the sandcastle architecture and construction, ROOMBA would like to be prepared to provide tools and labor.

“Do you remember when I was trying to find news about my brother? He was lost at sea for a while. I finally got a clue about what happened when you brought that message in a bottle. It was from Norris. I recognized his sloppy scrawl immediately.”
“The storm that hit Redbrook was the same one that sunk the Feitserald and stranded her crew. Norris was among the fishing crew on the Feitserald. He was also one of the first to make it off the sinking ship and onto an empty island.”
“Funny enough, Norris threw that message in a bottle into the water shortly after he ended up on the island. Apparently, the island was littered with glass bottles and he always wanted to use one for a message. Following Norris, the whole crew took turns doing the same. They wrote messages, sealed them in the bottles, and lobbed them out to sea. They decided that every additional message in a bottle improved the likelihood of rescue. Who knows how many are still floating around out there. And it turned out they really only needed that one message.”
“Anyway, the important thing is that Norris made it home. After I got that message, I went straight to Captain Logan and he let me come along on the Zefurea to rescue the Feitserald crew.”
“The rescue was extremely unexciting. Captain Logan knew immediately where the Feitserald crew was. We got to the island without incident, and then ferried the stranded crew onto the Zefurea in a few trips. The only thing that made the rescue interesting was Norris giving me that mask he found on the island. Unfortunately, I dropped the mask and stepped on it as soon as we got back on board the Zefurea.”
“That’s what caused me all that trouble with trying to find the island again. Remember that adventure? Remember all the wild stuff that came after?”
“I’m glad that’s all behind us now. Wanna go fishing?”

“Promise me you’ll keep this a secret, ok? I discovered a new spell! I would call it a love spell, but it could very well be an anti-love spell in certain situations. Anyway, we’ll call it a love spell for now. Let me tell you how it works.”
“First, I have to focus my mind on something that I strongly and truly love. I usually think of grand parties, magic, or maybe Star (if he’s been very kind). Next, I attune the ether and the source materials. Then, I quietly whisper, ‘Clairamor’.”
“When the spell connects with the person that requested it, their mind calms and clears. Then, over the next several minutes thoughts bubble up. These thoughts are of those people, things, and places that the requester truly loves, even if it’s only the tiniest spark of love.”
“Now you can see how it might be an anti-love spell in certain situations. Clearly seeing those you truly love could really wreck a romance if someone isn’t there.”
“It was amazing discovering this spell! I hope you like it too. And I know why Star has never found it. It uses lemons as a source. Ha!”

My friend stopped by a while
We laughed and talked and cried
Like nothing changed at all
I startled from my sleep
My mind knew it was false
My friend is lo-ong gone
And dreams are all I’ve got
I thought more on my dream
It wasn’t really wrong
Though my old friend is gone
I still have all I need
Friends will come and go
But friends are like a song
I may lose the tune
But I’ll still sing along
I’ll still sing along
I’ll still sing along
Oh oh oh ohhhh
I’ll still sing along

“The Langstaff family has lived around this part of T’rah since before the Dragon War. Somehow, we have always survived. After the Dragon War, my ancestors hid their powers in an attempt to blend in and improve their chances of survival. They successfully continued this tactic for hundreds of years, right up through the destruction of Jundland. Then, I continued to try to hide my powers when I came to Redbrook as the last of the Langstaffs.”
“What was it all for? If the Langstaff family ends with me, what was the point of hiding our powers behind technology in Castrum Romuska, or joining the human alliance and fighting the dragons, or anything else the Langstaffs accomplished?”
“No. I will not be the end. I will be the bridge to a new day for the Langstaff family. I will no longer hide my powers or leave the care of Redbrook to others. You, my friends of Redbrook, will be my family now, and I will make the Langstaff name something you can be proud to always remember.”

“Did I ever tell you about the time that Geist and I ruled a kingdom?”
“After the Dragon War, Geist and I ran away for a long time. We lived a quiet life by the sea. We mourned. Our losses were so great. Everyone we ever knew was gone. They all destroyed each other. It was devastating, but as we mourned together, we found comfort. Our shared tears began to heal us. So, we cried a lot. We explored our new home, and we ate loads of fish. Our lives continued that way for many leaves and likely some branches.”
“Eventually, we both got curious to see what had become of the lands we once knew. Geist kindly flew us first to the land that was once my home. As we passed overhead, we saw groups of men fighting each other. Once more, war was raging here. But, as Geist descended from the clouds, the men stopped fighting and most of them ran away.”
“A few of the warriors, that were fighting moments before, were now frozen in awe of Geist’s majesty. They stared up at her until she suddenly relinquished the manifestation to me. When they saw me standing on the ground where a dragon was a moment before, they fell down on their knees and hid their faces in the grass. I was shocked and had no idea what to do. While I was conferring with Geist, some of the warriors that ran away returned and fell down with their comrades. The count of prostrate warriors continued to grow while Geist and I decided what to do.”
“We decided to speak to them. I spoke up in a commanding voice and said, ‘Who is in charge here?’ No one moved. I tried the same words twice more. Then, Geist used a little universal communication spell and I spoke again. This time, one of the warriors stood, but kept his head bowed.”
“I asked the standing warrior why they were fighting. He told me of the wrongs that were committed by the other groups of warriors that were still gathering and kneeling around me. I don’t know what came over me as I listened, but I suddenly told the man to stop. Then, I told all the men to stop fighting. ‘No more!’ I said, and Geist cast a great explosion in the sky.”
“Everyone was very still for a time. Then, the warrior that was standing said, ‘Yes, my queen.’ and put his hand on his heart. Another warrior rose and said the same and covered his heart. Then, another warrior did the same, and another and another, until they were all standing, heads bowed, hands over hearts.”
“Geist whispered to me, ‘Maybe we can help them.’”
“And we did, for a very long time, but I’ll save that story for your next visit. Now tell me about how you ended up in Redbrook…”
