The Last Few Games
Traveled through the counties, Dolvin’s pass, to Delmar-on-the-Water. A very large city, with copper rooftops.
Sara running into another Squirrel Person.
Melody invited us all to lunch at Valentine’s Patisserie … but once there, it seemed like something was amiss, as the building shook and a woman ran out, crying for the City Guard.
We step in to lend a hand!
Three giant desserts are rampaging! Whipped Cream! Funfetti! Rocky Road! Growing with each bite!
Initiative! Mizzle manages to beat their initiative.

After the Ice Cream Battle
Squeal of excitement from the owner.
Offers us free ice cream.
Melody comes in. Concern for Sara.
Bowls of Ice Cream! The TBs are very polite, as they guzzle ice cream between thank yous.
The Acorn Pixie loves ice cream, too.
We learn about Melody’s backstory.
M asks about her uncertainty. “My parents found me.”
Divination magic to find out more? Kinda scary.
Valentine’s grandmother’s recipe. Does Mizzle know about Etheric Cooking?
M pulls a Bond for Sara to show off.
Grandmother’s cookbook – missing 1st step, because “so obvious”. Documentation standards!
Opportunity to create living elemental as a defensive weapon. Or maybe as adverts.
Melody feels bad for taking up all our time.
But is convinced to invite Sara over to her parents’ house.
Mizzle has some Zs for the bandit bounty. Valentine has a guest room. We can be live-in defenders against cooking disasters.
A pleasant afternoon
S is with Melody.
M buys the Acorn Pixie a new hat from the Badger Tailors the TBs know – Harmon & Sons
Melody is worried about her parents worrying about S showing up.
Meet Melody’s brother. Who is gobsmacked.
The TBs are excited to be of help from people they know.
Small back door and dressing room area.
Sirus Harmon. Introduces them. A hat! Or … someting else!
The TBs know all about the place and chatter at length about it.
Getting the machine working again.
Investigates the problem. Tear in to the machine. Agile little hands.
Hmmmm. Have seen this sort of behavior with our clank. The magical engine that gets it up and running occasionally builds up gunk. Needs a magical air filter change – but damage has already been done. Can get it limping along, but to fix the cause, will need a new part. Could be crafted … but finding a spare part in a box might be faster, if I knew.
Sirius has had this equipment for many generations back from Delmar-on-the-Hill. Grandfather got it from a a man who found it in the mountains, in the pass. (Like, maybe in the cave at the pass …?)
Acorn Pixie has a nice sun hat and sun dress and she is squeaking (in lieu of talking) excitedly to the TBs. Grabs the TBs’ hand and drags toward the door to show off to Mizzle.
Head off to go to … the geologists to learn about any sources of blue stone.
Meanwhile, Sara and Melody … the parents! Glad to meet you.
Taking Melody away? Oh, no!
Business … meeting with the Count.
Dad knows the Count ..,. but in return … leave Melody alone.
Mom feels very uncomfortable about S being around Melody.
Does she know something? She denies it. Just … go.
(We are still invited to the Whitneys’ party.)
Next time …
Let’s talk to the geologists!
Also … maybe buy some IPs!
Are we enjoying the game?
