A table with some large sheets of paper and a few pieces of metal work on it, and a few chairs around. A chirop is at the table, going over some of the papers.

"Hello, Bayfri. We have done exactly as you asked - power and communications took a huge blow in Magusalto. But I must report something else that may be of interest to the Spiral.
The spirited Chaos weapon Lucida has escaped containment by the Second and currently poses a threat to the region - barring negotiation, transfer of its spirit, recapture or destruction, it may create problems for us. A group of friends of mine, powerful mages and fighters, are working to deal with it.
I was wondering if you could release myself and Tabi for some time to join them, gain intelligence and smooth out the operational area of the Spiral by defusing or redirecting Lucida's destructive potential."

Roll 223
The world as the players know it:
1. Kyeltziv 2. Kleigg, Vandolf 3. P’orihc, Ki’stha, John ~~~
Notes:
1. Get Spirit expertise from the Lupus (Kyeltziv) 2. Get Construct expertise from a Construct Master in a Chirop jail (John, P’orihc, Ki’stha) 3. Don't talk to strangers (Kleigg) 4. Help Kleigg with his mission (Vandolf)

"This... Tch. ♥♥♥♥." > Head back out, out of earshot of the guards. "Change of plans, Linna. This Emiel rabbit hole goes deep. They've got him wrapped up in some big state project, and whatever it is warrants this-" > Wave one of the blacked out sheets for effect. "So they're gonna hold on to him and this project tight. And getting answers ourselves, well... going there ourselves and snooping around would probably fall under espionage. Possibly sabotage, even. Legality aside, it's probably locked up even tighter than the containment facility here. Ugh, heaven and earth I despise politics. ... Alright. Linna, we need to return to Vranhal to report back, possibly get reinforcements. Should talk to Emiel first though. I doubt he can tell us much if anything about this, but it's worth a shot. Got a few questions about Constructs I'd like to ask too before we leave. P’orihc and Ki'stha we'll have go scope it out. P’orihc's a telepath and they're both chirop, he's got the best chance of being unseen and they've the best excuse if caught. Thoughts?"
Linna: "Sounds like a mess. Talking to Emiel would help since he's involved, right? I can't imagine why he'd hold anything back if it means helping him get his freedom, unless if he's afraid of a death threat."
"Well, freedom would be nice, but with what we know now, Emiel would have to go through a hell of a lot of hassle to get released, and he doesn't seem too upset about the treatment he's receiving. But more than that, I don't buy it for a second that we actually have true privacy in that room, talking to Emiel. Especially if he's on the level of knowing state secrets.

Linna thinks for a moment.
Linna: "Going back to Vranhal seems like the best option. Lord Elizabeth would figure something out - probably better than us trying something ourselves and making a bigger mess."
You and Linna head back into the Containment Facility again, and ask the receptionist to speak to Emiel. A meeting is quickly arranged, and you find yourself sitting in the room with Emiel again, this time with Linna at the table.

"Hello, Bayfri. We have done exactly as you asked - power and communications took a huge blow in Magusalto. But I must report something else that may be of interest to the Spiral.
The spirited Chaos weapon Lucida has escaped containment by the Second and currently poses a threat to the region - barring negotiation, transfer of its spirit, recapture or destruction, it may create problems for us.

I was wondering if you could release myself and Tabi for some time to join them, gain intelligence and smooth out the operational area of the Spiral by defusing or redirecting Lucida's destructive potential."
Bayfri glances at Tabi, who nods her head.
Bayfri: ”Very well. I will release you and Tabi for this operation, and inform the branch leader of the situation later so we may send reinforcements. Do you have a gauntlet yet?”
You show him the one you picked up down in the sewers.
Bayfri: ”Ah, one used by our more stealthy members. It can form a compressed air barrier around you that protects you and renders you invisible. Let me show you how to use it...”
The way the gauntlets function is simply enough - you direct mana into different nodes on the gauntlet to switch and activate its abilities. A metal plate is shifted when you bend your wrist upwards to confirm a selection, a sort of safety mechanism.
Bayfri: ”You should be set to go, now. Best of luck, Kleigg and Tabi.” ____________________

I wonder if he’s looking for the Dandelion Bryant figurine. We only got a handful in the last shipment and they sold out in a few hours, don’t understand why the company doesn’t just make more. They’re just molded clay models and painted, how hard could it be to make ‘em?
Wonder who his friend is. I wonder if he swings the other way, he never seems interested in girls. That’s a shame, two fewer guys to go around. Homosexuality is gonna make us extinct. ____________________

You head back into the city and look for a blacksmith - easy to find, with the loud, constant ringing of metal striking metal.
A painted sign with a hammer is over the opened door, and you take a peak inside.
A table with some large sheets of paper and a few pieces of metal work on it, and a few chairs around. A chirop is at the table, going over some of the papers.
Chirop: "Hmm? Can I help you?"
"Hey there, I'm after just a piece of scrap, about forearms length. Need it to conduct lightning. I don't need it sharp and I don't need it heavy."
Chirop: ”Lemme see what we have.”
She heads into the backroom, where it sounds like metalwork is going on, soon returning with a simple metal rod with one end that is a bit thicker
Chirop: ”Smith’s been working on rifles lately, got a bunch of these ramrods. They’re decently tough, we’ll give it to you for 8 coppers. We can cut it down to size for you if you’d like, no extra charge.” ____________________

You see Horoma give a slight nod of her head, and the two of you head downstairs.
The room that has both the exit/entrance and the stairs also serves as a dining room, it looks like, with a large table where Miimas, Tuhota, and the innkeepers are eating.
You and Horoma take a seat, and you start piling it up on your plate. Fried eggs, drake steak, mango slices, apples, and a clay cup of mineral water.
Miimas mostly has fruits on her plate, with a single sunny-side up egg that she takes small nibbles out of. Horoma doesn't seem to have much of an appetite, while Tuhota devours slabs of drake meat and plenty of eggs.
There are three innkeepers - an aged lupus male and female, and a younger female which you assume to be their daughter. While they appear to be eating normally, you can notice the subtle gazes towards Tuhota's ravenous eating and Horoma's clasped hands resting on the table, her ball-jointed wrists visible.
You glance at the innkeepers, offering a sheepish grin.
"Hungry Toh?"
She takes a few seconds to chew and swallow down a chunk of meat before replying.
Tuhota: ”Yeah, I haven’t been eating nearly enough lately.”
Glancing at Horoma -
Tuhota: ”You should eat too. Kids gotta eat t’grow, right?”
Horoma narrows her eyes at this, something between suspicion and a scowl, while Tuhota shrugs it off and continues chowing down.
Grant: Does she not realize Horoma is not a real human? Or is she joking?
The party finishes eating soon after, and Tuhota leaves a friendly tip for the innkeepers.
Miimas: ”Find that shaman from Ikkuma now? Where do we look?”
Innkeeper Daughter: ”Shamans and their followers from Ikkuma usually set up in a large grass lot on the western end of town - stalls that sell a few items, trade with people here, and occasionally a presentation.” ____________________

Linna and I are gonna head back to Vranhal, have the thinkers back there chew things over. God help us, we may need to set up a message train to Vranhal after all. Mostly just here to ask a few things about Constructs before I go. How do I make a construct that can regenerate mana, how do I make one that can use Power Flow properly, what's a heartstone, and what exactly do memory stones do?" > Give him a pointed look on that last part.
Emiel: "Constructs that regenerate mana is tricky. Lot of the old ones used ones regenerating mana stones that were taken from powerful beast cores - Kamilla's Disaster weapons have high grade regenerating dragon mana stones, her Chaos series supposedly use regenerating mana stones from witch queens, and her Ultima series use ancient leviathan stones. Not too long ago, it was discovered that a rare species of plant produced a small amount of mana. They were experimented with to grow bigger and produce more mana, but the systems to manage them aren't exactly portable, far from it. Teleiat and Magusalto use 'em for city-wide mana generation. I've experimented in other methods of mana generation myself. In the Field Theory of magic, mana is theorized to be a force that exists as a level of energy in the ethereal fabric. Since the fabric doesn't follow physical laws, it was proposed that it might be possible to bring it to a negative level to draw out more energy, and it would bring itself back to zero by sucking in ambient mana. That's the basic explanation, the actual implementation is extremely complicated and expensive.
To make a Power Flow construct work properly, you gotta get your construct to be able to work direct magic on the user, which is a trade secret among constructors. Sorry.
Heart stone? No idea what that is. Some primitive term for a beast core?
Memory stones store information or act as an anchor for spirits. A lot of older constructs used to be hardwired to perform tasks, that made 'em very specialized and hard to modify. Newer ones use memory stones for more versatile constructs that are also more compact."

You head to the west end of town, easily finding the grassy clearing where there are a few stalls set up to one side. In the middle of the field is a creature that resembles a lupus in shape, but looks strange in twisted, in a way. Stepping closer, it looks like a lupus entirely made of black, twisted roots. Its eyes creak open as you near, glimmering yellow orbs that look more like gems than organic sensory organs.
Faren-Wuust: Amazing, an actual Gate Walker!
Grant: A what?
It opens its mouth to speak, voice like a loud, deep croak.
???: "Greetings."
Faren-Wuust: They are gate shamans who have traveled to the otherworld and returned. It is a dangerous crossing, only done when a gate shaman is completely confident in their abilities. To fail is to be obliterated, to succeed is to become immortal.

"So best bet for regenerating mana is just hunting a stone down. Dang. No reasonable way to make a regenerating stone then? What makes a high class stone high class?
Probably just a core, yeah. Heard it from my construct teacher a while back, they didn't go into it.
So Memory Stones can be changed? Is that AM manipulation too?"
