# Into the thick of it …

Valentine, who we previously helped with elemental problem / jelly issues. Serving out breakfast.

The brothers show up at the bakery – where we are staying …

Cal Brightseem (bat) and his brother Royce show up.

Mizzle - We know why there are earthquakes.  
Tools.  
Also looking for bluestone sources. One client just bought some. But another source: available for a steal! (Well, we’re acting on behalf of Central.)

Info on the caverns where the cables are?  
Royce - Interesting wreckage in caves above Dolvain’s Pass. Only issue: there’s a lot of Red Sashes there. Tommy? He’s just a bruiser for them, not their leader. So can point to the ruins, or if you have another idea …

Backstory for Red Sashes – rumors that they were a city gang run out of town … or maybe they were from a large estate in the country that was destroyed by a quake but now rely on banditry to support them.

The TBs can pick out and adjust the tools we buy and how to use them … mostly.

Mizzle asks them to contact Central by post to negotiate about the blue stone. Hey, maybe the first of the trade!  
Valentine packs us a meal with a hot chocolate (10 HP and resist Ice for the scene) and mintberry pie (10 HP and gain Resistance to Fire)

TBs buy some IP.

# _CUT SCENE_

Quiet Knight … with a sign …

 ![image](https://forum-menagerie-team-assets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com/original/2X/0/07ec5b4e9beece90feb1bb71ce8b4d7ee7753a1e.png)  
… pair of Red Sash bandits walk up … scoff at the sign … try to open the door … a shadow … a murder of crows flutters into the sky, cawing …

+1 FP

# We Travel

We make a discovery! We’re more intelligently passing through the terrain … and come across a large object, overgrown with foliage. Looks like a chassis of a large machine. Motorized carriage!

This may be something used by the Archmagus’ forces.  
TBs want to try and get the engine workling.  
Terrestrial Vehicle: would need work to get working. 600z project, so only 300z.

We go riding off!  
We find a danger!  
Make it through the pass … and then hear a loud … bleating.

A young wind-drake trapped under a tree that has fallen on it.

Sara tries to calm it down. It works. Sara continues to talk with it.  
_TBs have an idea!_

- Sara will help (tree branches)
- Mizzle will help (with healing) (and FP reroll)
- The TBs use the Vehicle to pull.

Booyah! Opportunity: Favor from the Drake Mother.  
Larger drake comes and takes the troublesome little one away.

And for the TBs, Inferiority changes to Admiration.

# The Quiet Knight and the Mysterious Door

[We have met the Quiet Knight previously.](https://forum.menagerie.team/t/fabu-session-12-wandering-monsters/1343#:~:text=Arcana%20of%20the%20Grimoire%20%E2%80%A6%20INS%20D12%20%E2%80%A6%20so%20Mizzle%20will%20study%20the%20%E2%80%9Carmor.%E2%80%9D%0AUndead%20Abomination!%20Ensorceled%20to%20something%E2%80%99s%20service!)

Mizzle found out all about him back then:

Mizzle gives Sara something: Lixana’s Journal – immune to Weak.

They are undead, so no Poisoning, but Healing harms.  
Damage up.

Mizzle tries to sway him – not his own master, but groans a bit.

DEFEATED!

Put his sword inside the dungeon.

# Into the Dungeon

Similar to bunker outside of quarry. More spartan, though: large illuminated conduit - 2 ft diameter - running through back wall (about half imbedded).

Hearing sickening snaps of its reassembly.

TBs check out the conduit for doors and … the clank lights up in brilliant glow and disappear!

Transposition!

Mizzle repeats the experiment. As does Sara (with the sword).

Where?

We’ll find out next time!

# Next time!

- We find out.
- No XP this time.
- Sara gets the Sword as a Reward.
