Tal vez… ah, maybe I could borrow another Ohio Wrestling Organization wrestler’s finisher! That’ll work. Maybe they won’t hear about me using it? Oh, who am I fooling? Of course they’ll hear about it! I’ll have made an enemy FOR LIFE!

The laughter gets louder and I’m suddenly crying really hard and I realize I’m not wearing pants and wait, don’t I wear a leotard anyway?

POOF

I jolt wide awake in a motel bedroom. It was all a dream! I promise myself to NEVER have another nightmare fake-out happen again. ¡Lo juro!

Rose, Trisha and I are sharing the motel room to save money. Trisha gave Rose and me the bed because we have a match tonight. She’s the best. I want to do something nice for her, too.

Maybe the fact that Rose is sleeping right next to me is why I had the nightmare? Even though Rose and I are on good terms, she still has to test me in the ring to see if I’m capable of climbing the ladder in our promotion. It’s a little scary since she’s so experienced at wrestling, but she’s rarely faced off against someone with as deep a bag of high-flying tricks as me! At least, I hope not.

She’d never laugh at me for forgetting my moves in real life. Would she? No! I can’t think like that. It’s my duty as a Luchadora to give her everything I’ve got, even if I don’t have a real signature finisher of my own.

It’s the crack of dawn. There’s no getting back to sleep now. I think I’ll go get Rose and Trish some breakfast. They’ll like that! I hop out of bed and get showered up, staying 100% clean and 100% masked using secret Luchadora techniques. Then I freshen up and throw on my boots, leotard, sweatpants and a heavy jacket. It’s cold out!

It’s cold, but not too cold for one guy atop a grassy hill alongside the road. He’s not even wearing a shirt! Who is he?

I peer closer and my heart skips a beat. It’s THE CHAMP!

Brett “The Threat” is training so early in the morning? Oh no- what if he sees me? We haven’t been introduced, and it’s so obvious I’m not worthy to even look him in the eye yet. How can I measure up? I’ve got a long way to go to reach his level if he’s capable of withstanding this intense cold and being so dedicated to his rigorous training.

But… everyone likes Brett. Well, everyone who likes justice and fair play, at least. Maybe he has some advice for me and how to help fit in in America?

I decide to:

A. Sneak down the road from THE CHAMP to go get Trisha and Rose some breakfast in time to have it ready before they wake up. Rose and Trisha will thank me for it!
B. Humbly wait for THE CHAMP to finish his training and as for advice on how I can fit in in America
C. Ask THE CHAMP if I can join in on his training (Can I really do it? I’m nervous…)
D. Other

D. Suddenly, a barrage of fans show up wanting his autograph, pushing you towards Brett, right up in front of him, whether you liked it or not. You're too nervous to say hi properly.
(Really, a champ working out in public like this is bound to attract attention.)

Otherwise. A. Does your jacket have a hood? If so, duck your head under the hood, and whistle an innocent tune as you walk by.

Sneak down the road from THE CHAMP to go get Trisha and Rose some breakfast in time to have it ready before they wake up. Rose and Trisha will thank me for it!

Gawking at the champ is great, but so is surprise breakfast. Honor your friends!

My vote is C, he could use a sparing partner for wrestling and both of you can train to the MAX.

Maybe we can relax and watch for a little bit before we decide if we're up for it. Give them a cliff notes version but try not to kill the mood.

What does Three Horns think? Seems good if Three Horns is up to it!

>>1055185
Can't imagine how it wouldn't kill the mood. I would imagine that everybody could use a bit of something something to relieve the tension, though. As long as we don't take too long.

Investigations can wait, robo-sex beckons~

We're about to drop some heavy stuff on them. Let them have some fun first.

>>1054933
I assumed she'd fall prone on the floor, because the new stimulation surprised her.

If this our last turn of the match, win or lose, that should have it end on a sweet action pose or (accidental) submissive gesture.

Yeah we can't use the stairs. Shoot at his lower body, he's not covered there.

But a few seconds are all the Onyx King needs, as the Flaûgnir rushes you as soon as he gets an opening. Grabbing the nerds behind, he rip him off you, making his knot loudly pop out of you, sending waves of pleasure through your whole body. Luckily, you were ready for it… unluckily; you weren’t ready for the head of the nerd’s dick to do the very same thing. As the large, multi-armed tip of his cock is forcibly pulled out, you can’t hold it in anymore. Arcing your back, you moan loudly as your orgasm bathe your body in a warm ecstasy, making all your muscles stiffed as your pussy tries to milk the member that’s no longer inside you. Only one thought fills your mind… you need to be bred! NOW!

The word ‘ELIMINATED’ flashes before your eyes in a bold, red font, followed by several stats and your point total, as well that you were eliminated by ‘Onyx King’ by climax. Your whole body shudder in bliss, as you lie back and enjoy the afterglow from your orgasm… though seeing how the Gargoyle in front of you just throw the nerd over his shoulder and is pumping his latex clad meat, your break won’t last long.

--------------------
And there we have it folks! The Onyx King is the last contender standing, by eliminating Outlaw Queen with a climax!

The large stone alien quickly throws off what little is left of his clothes before grabbing your legs and pulling you towards him. Letting his large, condom clad member slide across your still sensitive slit, it is quite clear what his intention is. ”Ah… ngg… a condom? Really?” you ask him in a sultry tone, but he doesn’t bite, ”I did promise to humiliate you last, remember? Which means I won’t give you what you want.” He continues to rub his dick against you, letting it glide between your quivery, wet lower lips, making you stutter as you try and convince him, ”Tsk, are you p-playing hard to get? Come on, don’t you w-want to plow my wet pussy bareback?” but he still refuses to play along, instead pulling away and repositioning himself, ”Nah… in fact, I might just plow your ass instead.” You feel his lower head prod against your asshole, making sure it’s ready for his coming pounding. ”…in the ass my ass! It’s pussy or bust!” you tell him while looking him right in the eyes, but he just answer with another prod of your posterior, ”That’s right, I’m going to bust all four nuts in your cute rump.” Squirming under him, you mumble, ”You’re an ass…” but he just smirks and say, ”An ass whose about to plow your ass.” before grabbing his dick and rubbing the tip of it against your cheeks a few times.

You want him to fill your womb… you need him to fill your womb! You must have him knock you up, dammit! Gah, you need to get that stupid condom of him… and make sure he plows your pussy and not your ass, but how?

Alright, let's bring out the big guns and the small words. She knows the area, she's friendly, she's big and tough... so maybe she can be of assistance in your quest as well!

>what are you
Am Talzoran - tallman. Was bigger. Came from far to find past of formicans - you, and smaller ones. Why vanish in past.

Became small, by machine, mistake. Found formicans, understand why vanish - why small and secret. Found danger... but also friends. Many discoveries, amazing, scary, funny, sad - have adventure. But want get big again. Want go home.

Somewhere here: make-big machine. Find, fix, use. Then, can go home.

Hm. Wonder if Bright Eyes is smarter than she appears - she's certainly curious enough. Maybe show her some of your stuff? If she's a scavenger, she might have input on some of it. Or give it to her in exchange for help... though she most seems interested in you.

Does she enjoy stories? Maybe you could tell her some basic ones of your people.

>bring out the big guns and small words
I explain that I am a Talzoran, not of this land. Bright Eyes nods. <Traveler… Why?>
<Came from far away to learn past. …How, um,> I look at Anet. “How do I ask if she understands what I’m saying well enough?” Anet repeats the question to Bright Eyes.
She nods back. <Juzt… speak zlow.>
“Okay, then… <Wanted to find Formicans, why gone. Became small, learned sad history.>”
Bright Eyes shrugs. <Hiztory not important. Live long, zee many things. Remember important things now, forget otherz. When no one alive who zee thing, who remember?>
<…That why we learn history, so we remember.>
Something clicks in her mind. <Ah…>
<How long do Beformicans live, anyway?> Anet asks. <Would she even have a way of tracking time?>
<...Sky voice count dayz.>
<Of course, the daily announcements,> says Pent. <The ‘sky voice’ says the date every day. Everyone would hear that.>
<Alwayz wanted to meet sky voice…>
The earliest date she can recall would put her at about 80 years old! I would have guessed her age around Anet’s, not past Elder Stone’s.

<Zzo… Where going?> She asks me.

Fascinating. They must've been gene therapied for longevity as well. She's that old, but clearly still spry and strong.

Ah, but a home is somewhere you'd want to return to. A place where you can be with the people you like and who like you in turn. Somewhere you could have a family. Ideally, at least.

>storytime
A simplified and modernized version of Gulliver's Travels might be a good fit. Or something else with a exploration theme or size shenanigans, just to make her understand what's going on with you.

>show item
The fire extinguisher maybe? Given its incredible recoil, she might be the only one here properly able to handle it and it's the sort of tool that can be used to ward off larger predators or even other big Beforemicans. Or actualy fires, you guess.

What else... uh, maybe not give her the serum accidentally! Who knows what an ancient experiment like that would do to, er, another experiment, essentially.

Wait. Where's it gooooohnoooodon'tdrinkthaaaat

I'm not sure she's really conceptualizing how big the world you're from is, but it might be hard to get that concept across.

As far as showing or trading her anything goes, we don't know very much about her just yet, so it might be more fruitful to just see what catches her eye and go from there.

>>1055171
Something akin to the first parts of Gulliver's Travels seems like a good idea if you know something like that, yeah.

>>1055168
I don't think she'll understand if you try to explain you used to be way bigger than her. It might be best best that you don't try to explain, since she might get frustrated and slap you from being unable to understand.

>show items
Don't let her or any of the other ladies drink the Serum Experiment X-0.X! It may be a failed prototype to kickstart fertility, but odds are that it'll still have some kind of effect on them and I'm pretty sure none of them would appreciate being forced into becoming fertile!

>>1055176
Exactly. Imaging all the cool techniques we could do underwater. Image, a new branch of underwater dancing!

On the one hand, folks being locked up and chained away forever don't feel so good and right. On the other, could this be a part of the void that was fooled into doing the goddess-killing? I'm sure this is the one letting out the 'ancient song of who you were' that the void king was talking about to the furious void above.

Their presence is leaking out into the surrounding area and must be affecting nearby voidkin.

Godrender did say their blood was 'furious and powerful'. Not to mention they were instantly hostile towards the goddess beacon - which we know is ancient-past Void behavior.

Take care, because we can be pretty sure whoever's locked up here is incredibly angry and might be really tough to deal with! Likely they're some kind of void figure of legend from way back when. Or a remnant of one?

We do know that the void were tricked by the trickster into attacking the goddess, so maybe there's a way to get through to this guy as well. Maybe the void king would know - they seem more and more to be a voice of reason. The affected voidkin called them 'a traitor', too. So this guy, whoever they are/were, is/was in opposition to the void king.

I wouldn't mess with the statue or bring any of the other voidpeople close to the statue. At best, some form of communication could be attempted, but it's likely it's going to be a 'deal with someone who is angry, upset and been locked up for ages' sort of conversation.

We've done one of those before to our benefit - hello Mirrow! - but this one feels like it might need a bit more prep.

wait she took a dip into the oil water? Like how in old stories, sirens led men to their death by singing and getting them to jump overboard?
Ask him about that, clearly something bad has happened here.

>Ask him who Maria is, what this ship is called, whose flag it flies, and where you should make for port.
>Maria jumped in the nasty-ass water?

Jack gives many answers to many questions, some helpful, some not.

"Maria was our sailmaker, but she also used to stitch us up from time to time before we onboarded a doctor. A couple of days back, she jumped clean off the bow and into the very sludge we're caught in now. Said something about 'joining the resplendent mother of the ocean' before she did it. Delirium, if you ask me. She'd been giving at least half her water ration to Kevin for several days now."

"This boat's called the Celebrant, and it flies no flag at all. Right now, I reckon we're somewhere in the Southern Atlantic, 'cause we were meant to be heading to the New World. If we get free, I'll turn us right around and set a course for Portugal. We can't be too far from there, and there are plenty of rations in the hold last I checked.

>where is the Captain, and what have you been doing since the last thing you remember?

"The Captain has been missing for a while now. I'd go looking for her, but that's a bit difficult for me at the moment. Last I heard, she'd locked herself in her room. As the quartermaster, I used to have the only spare key there, but ever since I got chained here, my key's been in the hands of the doctor."

"To tell the truth, I'm not sure how much of my memories are true at this point. I've been slipping in and out of consciousness for ages now. I'd say the most recent thing I can definitely remember happening is Kevin being punished."

>>1055172
Hm. And what did they both do to be punished?

wait, is there any other crew left other than you two guys? You make it sound like as if everyone either jumped off or they disappeared. Also "resplendent mother of the ocean"? The hell is that? Did someone make that shit up and everyone else began to follow it out of despair?

Do you dare ask about the meat we saw earlier? I mean, everyone else has disappeared...

Just having weird psychedelic dreams about like a weird unreality thing like being being not even born and opening my eyes waking up to a horrific dark reality with my skull strapped to some helmet my horns removed my eyelids forced opem by hooks as i scream for help to get out of it wires trailing from me as some creature holds me fingers digging into my flesh something like a tongue slobbering infront of me but i cant see the rest of it only my own crying face? Sooo sort of the usual but really strange but the psychedelic part has really stuck with me guess hippis where onto something as it calms me down

Maybe not... quite so much detail? Something like: Oh, you know. This or that. I've been having weird psychedelic dreams. They've been making me contemplative about the nature of reality. You know -- the allegory of the cave and the like. Also the simulation hypothesis -- both the real science theory one about ancestor simulations and the more varied pop culture one like you see in the Matrix that it was inspired by.

Maybe it is true. Maybe he is didn't consider the quitting that bad experience.

At any case, being sincere and relatable will get him to warm up to seeing you again, if he hasn't already.
Tell him how you have been having a writters block this past couple weeks, and having bad dreams and bad sleep hasn't helped, but you hope meeting your friends will help you pull idas together.
And thank him for helping you in getting to talk to them, don't be so shy!

>>1055181
this would be best, no need to go too in-depth about the dreams yet

Modulate your response by whatever went down between you when you quit. If he doesn't treat the events of that day as something bad to acknowledge or discuss, then... great? I suppose you could admit things haven't been going too swell, but be firm on that you'll sink or swim by your own power, you're in a rut, not desperate. You really did just drop by for some social contact and inspiration for your own projects.

As a side thing, you don't have to make this all about you - and elevator talk is by definition brief. You could distract by picking up a different topic to speak about.

For one, Nico's whole aura - and the 'soldier' comment to Lars and his muscular build - does seem to speak 'armed forces'. If you haven't got around to ask about it before - out of curiosity, did he ever serve before he got into the movie biz, and if so where and as what?

Or... you could throw him a literal elevator pitch for a project - you can even joke it off 'just as practice'. Granted, that's kind of hard to do that when you don't have any good scripts on hand and some history to begin with.

Dont forget to eat them for nourishment. Patience is rewarded.

You shouldn't. Expect that our opposition to Lung's forces won't be enough, and have a plan for if that comes to be. You would be foolish not to plan for failure where success cannot be guaranteed.

At the very least however, the enemy forces will be slowed by our retaliation, and the stronger a defense we put up the more time is allotted for you and others to fortify stronger points. The difference between having the information you can provide and not, even in the worst case scenario, could be the difference of a few extra soldiers taken down, a few minutes of preparation time, and a potentially higher number of our rank getting away, keeping them available to defend another point. If we're lucky, it could even be the difference between the cathedral standing in the end or not.

Tell her that even though that the Queen's ex-royal guards may have failed their mission to protect the Queen's dignity, they still managed to prevent Lord Lung from actually kidnapping the Queen, failing his mission as well. You can confirm that after you did some spying over Lord Lung overheard his complaints over his armies' failure to capture the Queen 10 minutes ago.

And not only that, they succeeded in taking down all of Lord Lung's soldiers after the incident, even the powerfule Falune.

With those in mind, you're sure that if your commandos can be better prepared this time if we're allowed access to the layout map of defenses and secure points, the crew will be able to succeed in comparison to when previously, they were caught off guard by the invasion.

Summoning tower. See if any shooters can shoot enemies from up there safely, and to where. Also, we gotta see if its possible to summon a spirit or monster to help us.

Look into the main gate. Will it keep out the unwashed masses? Or let them in with open arms and armor?

She draws me several more pictures, going into things that are completely irrelevant as they're just some long winded explanation to why she thinks I'm dumber than a box of rocks and how she's actually been saving my life over and over so the only assassination attempts I had to foil were the ones she was sure even a doofus like me could handle.

"So why are you showing yourself now?"

She was in the middle of explaining how I was about to die again yesterday and looks up. "Huh? Oh yeah. You should break into the hegemony armory tonight?"

"Why would I want to do that?"

"Cause there's a rifle in there. Rezan made, fed with Rezan ammunition."

"...and?"

"And it's going to be used to murder you during your speech. The Hegemony will think the locals are in open revolt and crack down, the war will escalate and lots of people are gonna die. Normally I don't care but see, the part I don't like is you dying. So...yeah you'll want to find that rifle."

Bon probably only looks like her to you right now, because of your connection or whatever. Or she's shielding her appearance from others, one of the two.

Also yeah thank her for her help. Not sure just how we're going to get out and to the rifle, but... maybe she can cause a distraction for you, so you can sneak away?

Okay, this is valuable intel you needed a week ago. I'm not certain we can trust Vidian's sources, but the premise of a turf war among various tribal cultists is more plausible and less of a hazard than a united front of shadows, especially since they're not afraid to die. As long as you can find some way to make them suicide bomb each other, we're good.

Start with the basics. You're a governor, a commander. So command the people you govern. Nunette might be out of the picture for now, but Anders has admin access, regardless of the accusations of dereliction of duty. Vidian can send a message while on patrol, they won't expect a grunt to have magical superpowers. Anders can handle the cult, she's got two halves of an extra brain watching out for her.

And here's another idea: Direct Vidian to Servina. I'm sure she'll be very intrigued at the cult's zombification practices. If she needs buttering up, have Vidian claim her influence was responsible for getting 'that bnnuy traitor' court-martialed and suspended by her own Hegemony.

Also, consider hiring Vidian an art instructor. I should note that this isn't an insult against her; I suck more at drawing. But it's clear that she has a passion for doodling, which is something you can channel into constructive behavior if you can get her to improve through mentoring.

Well, then, time to find ourselves andbairplane.

Oh. Yeah, I guess bad air isn't a thing you can sneak past.

>>1055147
This could work...assuming you'll survive the landing. It doesn't sound like you have super impact resistance or anything, though.

I guess keep asking questions, see if you can get any more suggestions out of Wally?

Quickly thank him for the advice and - oh, one more thing: Where can we go if we wanna travel by air? We're kinda new to the area.

Report the situation once you're on the move - I wager that you've learned yourself how to keep those short and to the point; interdimensional cell-data ain't cheap!

Don't bother moving the pegboard back, it'd take less time to just unpin what's on it and take it with you. (Plus, moving it would probably make noise in the panic you guys are in.)
If you're not confident about how many you can remove, just grab the important ones- Doctor, Franklin, and ESPECIALLY Mr. Sheppard.
From what I can understand right this moment, he's the "Legs" of this whole operation. I... don't know if that analogy makes much sense, but my point is that he could be just as important if not more important than the Doctor's role in this whole Graduation Conspiracy... assuming it's connected.
It's a small town. It probably is.

The more you leave on the board, the more they'll have to be able to piece together, and that's a risk you'll have to decide on your own.
If you leave the ripped obituary, it's likely they can find that article easily, and the house, grave and corpse are also self explanatory.

I don't want to gamble on the possibility Lemmy's Dad won't search thoroughly, so I'm voting on Escape.
While it was Lillian's idea, I think Lemmy should take the lead on it while she assists, since he's already succeeded in escaping his parents.

>>1054956
I feel like it's a bit early to mention that, but, yes. Also worth considering Temmie if this or something immediately happens is 'the sign'.

Actually, yeah, that's a better idea. just removing the pics and putting them in your pockets will be much faster. And don't worry about them getting wrinkled or damaged or anything, you all already saw what we needed to seen. It's more important that the adults don't see WHAT was discovered from the peg board. The Mr. Anderson stuff is the most important stuff to remove especially.

Okay, so I have a really stupid plan.

Lillian should escape with a bedsheet wrapped around her, making noise as she hops out the window, she can do it easy and distract them. Though you gotta trust that she can get away and lose her tail.

You and Lemmy take the important notes and then hide, if Lillian's distracting enough, then you'll be able to take the rest of the evidence, flip the board over, and leave with no one on your tail, and with no lingering evidence even if they find the stuff on the back of the board.

Getting caught would be a problem though.

I only think we should do this if others like my dumb plan


My less stupid plan is basically >>1054959
Go escape, grab stuff from the board but dont bother hiding it, have franklin flop out the window and lose some limbs your friends have to carry, yknow, the comedic exit!

I just thought of a some things regarding the peg board after doing a lot of thinking since we're removing pictures:

Call it a hunch, but what if we DON'T remove the pictures on the left side? (the section talking about Dr. Franklin Stein's wife)? From what it looks like, with him hiding his wife's grave with it being unmarked and in the corner of the yard behind a hedge, he doesn't seem to be only hiding her death just from you, Franklin, but from everyone.

I have a feeling if the adults need to see anything from the pegboard, it's gotta be that one. Jhonen knew the doctor was doing really sketchy things, and if the adults find out about his wife's death that he seems to be hiding from the world, something tells me he'll get justice served to him like Jhonen was hoping for, or at least some kind of punishment.

And as for the right side, if we can only remove a few things on the right side, definetly remove Temmie's picture. Something tells me they shouldn't see her on that peg board. She's been implying she is going to be in danger, and while it might be unavoidable, I would rather it not be worse than it is going to be.

So that said, I think as far what we should remove in order: definitely the middle section first, that should be the top priority out of everything here to remove (the stuff about Mr. Sheppard), then the right side talking about proof of you being a "zombie" (if you don't have time to remove everything from the right side, remove Temmie's picture, I don't think it will be a good idea to leave her picture there) and then leave the left side talking about Franklin Stein's wife alone.

Leave immediately as soon as Lemmy and Lilian finishes the escape route, no matter if you finish removing the pictures or not. Take what you can.

I vote ESCAPE. No need to conceal too much; the priority here is a clean getaway.

There’s nothing I can say here that hasn’t been said already, except…

Talk to the old homeless crow. Either coin or alcohol should loosen her tongue, get her talking about the history of the town and the manor.

The barkeep all but said that he runs the joint. Usually getting what he wants would explain his overt cockiness. You can't exactly be run out of town, either.

Absent the means or will to defend yourself, you could start getting friendly with the other locals, even the sanity or housing deficient, and hope they can get you out of a bind later. Surely the old bird has retained some ability to deliver medical assistance on request, right?

Overlook her dumpster diving for now. (Holding onto items to find a use for them later isn't the worst habit to have. It works in adventure games.)

Could you have been dreaming of the future, a prophesy as expressed through metaphor? "Witch burnt by a mob" isn't far off from "Strong independent woman bombed by the mob". You'd have to check with a fortune teller to be sure. Though, with your luck as of late, her crystal ball might explode or turn bloody red if she tried to read your fortune.

Hell if you know what that dream actually meant, be it a vision from the future or the past. Hopefully it was just that, a dream and nothing else.
>You'd have to check with a fortune teller to be sure.
And where are you supposed to find one of those? Wait, didn’t Chris mention some interesting shops in the northern part of town?

>The barkeep all but said that he runs the joint. Usually getting what he wants would explain his overt cockiness.
Well, he does own the pub… or did you mean the whole town? That seems a bit… much? Though, there is something about him that doesn’t sit right… something about how he looks at your husband…
>You could start getting friendly with the other locals, even the sanity or housing deficient, and hope they can get you out of a bind later.
…you guess you’re going to live here from now on, so getting to known the locals is a must. Still, a hobo digging through the trash? …though Perry did say she was a doctor once, didn’t he?



>Talk to the old homeless crow. Either coin or alcohol should loosen her tongue.
You step around the corner and approach the pitiful creature there, covered in filthy tatters and reeking of booze and urine. She might have been a successful and healthy woman once, but alcohol and mental illness have dragged her down irretrievably into degenerate squalor. The old bum is muttering something about crawling worms, seemingly oblivious to your approach.

Maybe. Or she's referring to something terrible that's happening here, something she's managed to hide from but doesn't quite understand...
She said something about a bear? We haven't met any bears yet. Ask her about that. And also... how to detect the "worms". Can you see them? When do they come out, only at night? Is it possible to fight them? Run? Hide?

Don't bring up the brother she's avoiding talking about, it'll drive her off no doubt.

At least she's lucid enough to give sound advice. Remember to pickup some medicine for the headache from the store later, or from a specialty shop if that's better. Don't stay out after dark, to avoid what you will assume to be gang violence. As for why they stay away from the mansion, don't think about it.

Good thing fitting things to a schedule is, like, half your job. You should be able tour the shops up north, drop by the realtor's, and still have time to spare to get home before dark. Maybe you'll bump into Father Elijah sometime. I'm surprised he wasn't at the pub.

They might even have a sports store here. Encourage your hubby to join the local football or baseball club as a way to keep himself in healthy physical shape. Perhaps you could buy a nice sturdy baseball bat for him, perfect for whacking stuff. Ok, admit you didn't like the look the wolf gave him, you're worried the wolf would fight him over you, and this is your way of getting him ready for it or at least making him look tough. As a professional bookworm, he needs the exercise anyway.

Maybe a Burn Heal for our next visit to the volcano.

Here's my guess. She's going to load the area with shrapnel, thermite, neurotoxins, and anything she can rub on the sides of a wall with her bare
And then all she needs to do is cast cyclone() on the pre-seasoned killing boards. Additionally, since she's in control of the wind rather than an automated teleporting fan, she can redirect the winds so she's effectively immune to her own powder traps.

We don't know much about her combat style, but we know this: she's willing to take a grenade to the chest if she thinks it's worth it.

Oh, and she posted something just now. Hm. But that seems like a fallacy. Certainly, her world is dead and gone and everything it once stood for has rotted due to the proof-of-concept of a self-destructive nuclear war, but there's survivors in the nexus -

The wiki page has been updated with current gadget tags. If you need a better impression of what gadgets provide as a sub-slot, please check it out!

STRATEGY:

I agree with Argine, I think this is a match where we really want to take an early lead. Don't be too reckless, but press your advantage wherever you can. You don't want to get caught on the backfoot early, but you're up against someone with a lot of experience. Your gadgets need to provide good burst options to overwhelm, while still being consistent tools you can make use of throughout the battle.

Depending on how effective your ranged weaponry holds up to her wind, don't be afraid to use melee.

GADGETS:

Beam Unit - Gives us a projectile attack that can deal decent damage, and which she can't easily redirect or nullify with her Parasignia. Our best burst option, and a nice way to get through any cover she may have with the attachment I'm recommending.
-Blade Printer (Mainly for "Cutting" tag, as it would help out beam carve through any cover Mnemosyne tries to put between it and herself)
-ALTERNATIVELY: We could stick the Explosive Discs here if the Blade Printer wouldn't work the way I think it might. Give the beam an explosive impact that locks this down as our strongest tool.

Amp Rings - The extra strength will be helpful in general for mobility, melee attacks, and moving larger elements of the terrain. With the right attachments, it can also serve some defensive/utility purposes.
-Barrier Generator (If we need to use our strength to rush in, adding a protective element to ourselves will make it less risky. The "Reflective" part will also punish Mnemosyne for trying to interrupt us while we're using them.)
-ALTERNATIVELY: The Blink Capacitor could let us close the distance to get in close for our enhanced attacks, or possibly displace our strength elsewhere? Perhaps we could send a

>Strategy
Seems legit. Also, looking at Storyteller cards you haven't used yet, you can consider using Breezecycle to swap out for a different gadget combo if it becomes obvious you'll need a different sort of edge. Frozeneye also seems handy, as you could use one for situational analysis, mitigating your lack of intel on her gadgetry and the map.

Let's also remember that your gadget combinations in previous fights may have been observed and taken into account, so switching up your combos from previous ones might be a good idea.

Amp Rings go on - that's a given. Unless you can get within arm's reach or use it for throwing (which is debatable useful against a wind user) its use will be largely defensive - you can use the strength boost to resist getting buffeted by strong winds and to move faster. Let's leave its secondary gadgetless (for now).

Pitch Prefect w/Blink Capacitor - We all know and love the Prefect, and since you want poking capacity I can think of nothing more likely to take Mnemosyne off-guard than a weapon that will resist her winds - one that would normally be trivial for someone with her powers to deal with. Make your pitch intangible and unaffectable before it hits! Or as the other Syke said - remove the travel time. If she gets covered in the sticky stuff she'll also have a hard time putting wind portals on her own body, which might be a trick she pulls to avoid attacks.

Barrier Generator w/Blade Printer - This one's straight defensive - but could have an offensive mobility aspect. A barrier that is more aerodynamic thanks to the Blade Printer might let you cut through winds and let you move about at speeds Mnemonsyne won't expect - or at least help you avoid the worst of being buffeted around. Plus it'll be handy against the usual 'I'll just shoot her' moves. We are dealin

Garrin has to take control of the situation, but he can't leave Reefa's side 'That hoofer is an assassin! SEIZE HER!' He shouts. a few tougher looking patron get up to go after her

Garrin then points to the globalan sailors on the upper level 'You lot, cut her off from the roof!' he pauses for a moment then adds 'there's gold to be had.' at the mention of gold the sailors start to scramble.

Tirzaea and her pursuers take the action to the streets and Garrin is left in a more silent tavern.

Who does Garrin speak to and what does he say?

Probably ask the drunken adventurer how she knew/how she did that/ if she would assist in projecting the princess or also assist in giving chase to the assassin. More gold to be had and what not.

Honestly, we should talk with Reefa, and get her someplace quiet and safe. Let's talk with Flops, and see if any of the local ichthians he knows are trustworthy. Reefa's calm and comfort are top priority, she has to be on her A game for engaging with the populace.

Maybe Flops know the drunkard, and if she has a reputation. The more they know, the better.

To Reefa: "I knew she was up to something, but I truly hoped she didn't intend to go so far. My apologies for being unable to warn you sooner."

Let's keep our cool and act like we knew what we were doing. Heavily suspecting that equine of dubious intent, we tried to recruit her so that we could keep a close eye over her. Force her out of the shadows and keep her under our scrutiny until we could get away.

If Reefa takes this poorly, then show some humility and apologize for your methods. She might get upset that you tried to stick a would-be assassin next to her, that's reasonable. Assure her that you would have given her adequate warning as the first chance you had, and apologize anyways for the fact that she was exposed to a dangerous person.

Concentrate on the mercenary. See if you can get her to sign on as one of Reefa's temporary bodyguards. Then let Kalez reel her in with magics.
