Also the healing potion, so she can slip it to someone if they get captured.

Vex gets the spyglass and marble mine.

Eiko gets the ring to awaken her magical girl powers, hopefully.

The items are as distributed:

Vex: Spyglass & Marble Mine
Eiko: Unidentified Magic Ring & Gun (1)
Violet: Healing Potion & Guns (2)

When the time comes, you'll signal to Eiko to start a distraction by lighting or dousing one of your smokes. Hopefully, it'll work as a visual or olfactory cue and won't be a noticeable effect for the Bites to pick up on. For Violet, you'll uncork an essential oil vial of mint that Eiko had lying around.

With the plan all set, Violet goes to get changed into some spare clothes that Eiko let her borrow. As she does, you gesture to Eiko for you both to talk outside and see where this is going to go. You're itching for a smoke. And from the visible tension in Eiko's frame, it looks like she needs it too. She moves to follow after pocketing the ring, reluctant to find out what it does just yet.

Not wanting to be spotted, you both lamely sit down on the floor of her balcony. If there's an autumn chill, you don't feel it under your big coat. You rest your elbows on your knees as you pull the smokes out, gesturing at her in offering.

Eiko sits across from you, not particularly caring for her dress getting dirty as she does, her legs tucking in and disappearing under the mass of fabric.

She appraises your offer, "I've never smoked before..." Eiko's lips scrunch as she thinks then shrugs, "Fuck it."

You snort. "Don't go too wild kid."

You light both cigs with your knife. She eyes the novelty of it as the thermal function pulsates. A fancy parlor trick. You offer an easy grin as you take a puff and hand her the smoke. She seems to mime you, watching the way you move before trying it herself. Eiko hacks on the first breath and smacks her chest.

You open your mouth and she hisses through watery eyes, "Don't say anything."

You change course, relaxing into this, "So what's it gonna be? Path of no return or what's always been?"

"Can you really do it?"

"For?"

"Don't play dumb. What do you want for helping me? There's something you want, right? I don't buy that you're doing this just out of the goodness of your heart. Or for my brother. You're the kind of person that's done worse for more."

Bobbie doesn't know what to do next.

Great job everyone! We’re almost done, just one more step!

Bobbie, Remember the construct? The one we made friends with during the trip here, the same one Kenku and Shadow Taker threatened and mistreated? The same one Kenku offered us to own after this meeting to have as an ally? The one that hugged you? It’s still there chilling under that tree. I’m sure it can help us now. I command it to cut the invisible thread that is tied between Gram and the cat!

Look at how they swing. Should key you in as to the thing linking the two. Shoot it with an arrow.

>>1111206
This

>>1111206
Its that or start climbing up the tree yourself. Nothing you can do down here on the ground.

I'm gonna be selfish and pick A just because I am genuinely interested in seeing how that conversation goes.
The fact Enid was even capable of doing what she did says alot, and her response to being asked about it will say more.

A because enid lost family, probably had a breakdown, got therapy, then came along and did a murder and seems... more uh blank then Clive was in a different way.

Checking on her is PROBABLY a good idea just for that alone, also she showed she cared about you, care about her back a little, jerk.

we can do B later, that information isn't going anywhere anytime soon, and can be discussed in the next group meeting, unless Bec and Albert get captured/killed anytime soon.

A, but what to say? As an introvert Clive never really been interested in conversation, but his actions have spoken loudest here, and in the past.

Maybe just hug Enid? I think that one action will tell them everything without having to say anything:
A hug to apologize to them for what happened
to comfort her after what she did
to thank her for saving you
to show a side of you Roger wouldn't expect

if there are some things to talk about, we could ask Roger some concerns he should think about for later, like, how will we get back without anybody seeing or explain about your injury, and the blood on Enid especially at the orphanage?

He's the leader, so he can come up with a solution. you could keep that concern in Roger's mind to think over. I guess the best shot would be going to Franklin's place. You've done enough thinking

Casey's Mana-form/Binding, which can corral Augus while we do... whatever we are going to do, and fling the Aegis to our buddies
Kol's Lich-fire, which can drain mana. Probably to weaken Augus AFTER we get the belt off. [Use lingering smell to plant tracker]
Gabe's portals, which can exploit the spatial shenanigans. Probably to make the Moon closer than the distortion already does.
Clio(?) Different portals, which we haven't seen interacting with the distortion yet. Wild Card
Nemo's Invisibility, both literal and ability to get lost in crowds. Probably the one to physically get the Aegis out.
Herald of the Storm, The Iron Claw, Vampire Lord Dion, Madame Moot, Highwayman.

“I think we have everything we need in place. Operator, you think you could update ‘Augustine’ on our situation?” Casey says.

I will appraise her of the new information. You have not forgotten the tracker, I assume?

“Sounds like your target is eager to watch our match. We should be able to find her in the audience before the action. Are you guys ready?”

“Let’s fuckin do this!” Kol squares up, giving his best Caleb growl.

“Fu fu fu fu, let’s give them a show!” Gabe replies, taking a pose.

“Um, I’m ready too.” Nemo comments from nearby, having slipped out of sight some time ago.

The mice fall into formation and step through the gateway, deeper into Argus’s heartspace. Instantly after crossing the threshold, they’re assailed by a brilliant spot-lights, shining down from the unseen rafters.

“AND HERE COME OUR CHALLENGERS NOW!”
A voice booms out over the crowd, magically magnified, but recognizable as the wolf that greeted them on the path.

Startled, the mice rally their courage and each strike a pose, drawing more cheers from the assembled fey.

I wonder, who all will you be able to find in this here crowd?
You should also start thinking of cool things to say, either to the crowd or to our Host's stage persona.

The siren returns to the elves and tells them what she has heard and seen.

Turit winces in pain and hatred "Curse that Damien, of course his weak human blood would lead him to this greed fueled betrayal!"

Ushamerea is confident as a poet she can use a well spoken word to convince others of this threat "if other cities are in peril we must warn them, but can't reach them if we don't get out of the caves of memory."

Do the intruders stand between you and the exit or is there a way out in the other direction?

It should be possible to just drift by them in the water. Poralla can assist, pushing them by one at a time when close to the traitor's spot. In dim caves, slow movements with minimal noise should be enough to slip past.

>>1110382

Do you actually need to sneak past them? They're not looking for you, and they're probably about to leave themselves. If you can find a hiding place you could just wait.

Is this a catacomb? If so there are probably various niches you could hide in.

You could use a bath, I forgets the last time you got an opportunity. Hopefully the briefing doesn't need charts.

Let's investigate the metal sound.

automatic thought is nutcracker or some other automaton... could also be gears of some kind. was the person in the distance that sorrel mentioned the source of the metal sound? or is that separate? proceed with caution.

oh wait the directions are separate. was sorrel able to make out the shape of the metal sound?

The ventilation ducts are going to connect to each other, so if we go through the ductwork we'll be able to get back to the hole in the duct we were at earlier. The metal might also mess with the acoustics of our footsteps and screw up the ghoul bat's tracking. If we don't think we're likely to encounter another patrol inside there, we might be able to lose our pursuers that way. If Sorrel agrees with this line of reasoning, that would be my vote.

My first thought regarding the metallic sound is a winch or pulley. Maybe it's one of the mechanisms for raising and lowering the puppets. That would be an interesting and useful find. I would rather investigate while we're not being actively pursued, but that may be difficult to arrange down here. Do we think we have time to check out whatever it is and then get back to this hole before the bat's party catches up with us?

A metallic undefined sound. Well, gang, let's split up and look for clues.

Well, they beat the Phantom Curi. That's an impressive achievement.
> Queen's Resolve: The fragmented core of Curi, a sign of her unwavering dedication to her kingdom and her people. Give to the consort of your choice to endow them with royal might... or perhaps...

Basically, you can give the core to one of the princesses to power them up for the boss fight. You could also try absorbing it yourself, but who knows what whacky things that might do. When wielded as a talisman, it allows you to sway slimes loyal to Slimecrown.

>>1111188
>>1111187

Oh, right. It's been so long that I forgot about the Cinders of Ambition. The Queen's Resolve should absorb them. It will do the same with each daughter. Something like, Mirelle's Ambition, Rosa's Wisdom, and Sophie's Love together could make an excellent queen. For a Queen who for so long ruled alone with a broken heart, her children made her whole.

-A key that opens a hidden compartment on the music box. Inside, a crystal teardrop earring that heavily boosts your perception, speed and defense. Key aspects to defeating the monster under Slimecrown Citadel.
alternatively:
-Royal jelly. Eating it makes you a slime queen, even if you weren't a slime before. Could legitimize one of the princesses' claims to the throne. Could turn the first DM's ability to take massive amounts of slime into an even bigger buff.

You've made some distance from the campus, and the Alien Machine lands next to you, awaiting further commands.

You connect into what satellites you can and take a bird's eye view, it's just the juggernaut headed your way right now.

Kick up a lot of dust (or use smoke if you can) in order to have the alien mech burrow under the ground without the enemy noticing. Then pretend to run away, luring the juggernaut above the improvised landmine and take it out from below.

Some missiles would soften it up before seeing if the alien mech can punch through that armor.

The three of you continue along the path and, although nothing in particular happens, you can’t shake the feeling that something about what you’re doing is wrong. Perhaps unnatural would be a better way to describe it. Perhaps it's the tension between your allies, or perhaps the unfamiliar paramilitary force occupying an unknown location, or maybe that you aren’t sure when you’ll come across this ‘Engelkind’ that’s ‘downstairs’ or what that will mean, but something is distinctly off about this whole affair.

You don’t have too long to ponder this, as before long, you come to some happening.

The path stretches out before you. At the end (as far as you can see) there is a group of WOLAND soldiers with their backs turned to you. They all seem to have weapons drawn and ready.

About halfway between the soldiers’ formation and where you’re standing, there is an opening on the right. Your keen hearing tells you that some sort of machine is humming away there.

Closer towards you on the left, there is another opening. You can hear some murmurs coming through from whatever’s at the end of it. You can’t make out any words, but one of the voices is strangely recognisable. Not a voice you hear every day, but most certainly a voice you’ve heard before.

“Is that..?” Mary begins “No, no, nevermind.”

I think that there is a member of the Executive up ahead. I can sense their energy.

The soldiers up ahead are so focused that they probably won’t notice you sneaking up behind them until you’re in sniffing distance.

You raise a good point actually. What even is our name, anyhow? I feel like it couldn’t hurt to properly introduce ourselves. As for where to go… that familiar-but-not-TOO-familiar voice sticks out to me as something worth investigating.

>something wrong, unnatural
I mean, yeah, Erica sure looks weird, but maybe there's an explanation. Did this feeling start suddenly when Mary joined, or was it building gradually after pacifying Erica? Well, even if Erica is an impostor (which does not match her behavior unless it's a self-delusion) we're gonna need more than Mary's help taking it down. It's possible the creature's self-delusion will break if you bring up its weird appearance, so don't do that before we get extra help.

>crossroads
Hmm. Ask Mary how sure she is that Erica is an impostor. Erica's appearance is certainly abnormal but it could simply be advanced cybernetics, or body alteration caused by an anomaly. Has Mary met her before, or something? Explain that Erica was initially hostile, not stating that she was the Collector-General until she saw your badge. Would an impostor do that?

Come to think of it, if we bring up Erica's appearance now, and she becomes hostile, we can flee to WOLAND to get their help. (even though they're not really allies)
If Erica has a good explanation for why she looks like that, Mary accepts it, and the wrongness subsides, then... hmm, actually. I'm suspicious of the left path. What does Mary think it is? It sounds familiar to you, somewhat familiar to Mary, and feels like an Executive to Erica, but is it possible that it's a mimic that generates a feeling of familiarity to lure in victims? (if Erica is something similar then meeting another one of them would be very bad)
If the wrongness subsides *and* you can't agree on what the left path feels/sounds like, then we go right and investigate the machine.

Look, weather one or both of you are some kind of skinchanger isn't important right now. We're here to stop Woland from committing crimes.

Should investigate the semifamiliar voice

Something is definitely off. Many things, in fact.

Why is Mary so confrontative and potty mouthed, now?

AAnd where did that crazed WOLAND executive she was fighting go to? Shouldn't falling through that pit have gotten him hurt? Shouldn't Mary be hurt?

Andalso, if Erica is an impostor, why wait until *we* risked our necks offering a truce to work together?

Many things off, indeed!
