The odds are against you, that much is certain. Sure, drifting around a potion bath with a host of spicy ladies eases the pain a little bit, but the proof is still in the proverbial pudding: four ancient beings are chomping at the bit to take over the world, a fifth player seeks to take advantage of the chaos, and your prospects of finding a way back home grow bleaker by the day!
Oh, not to mention you’re still suffering from selective memory loss and inadvertently sold your soul to a literal devil.
No amount of spa treatments could change that. Still, as you bob aimlessly like an apple in the sweet-scented spa, your mind drifts towards the events of the last few days you’ve spent in Zoral:
You’ve fought monsters, mages, and massive mechs. You’ve snuck through dens of debauchery and devious intent. You’ve wooed and wowed people who had every reason to doubt you. All of these accomplishments might’ve seemed impossible to you once, but that was only until you <span class="mu-i">succeeded</span>!
Rising from the water like a vampire from his coffin, you don a confident smile as you address your clothing-free colleagues!
It seems impossible, you begin as all eyes fall on you, but if no one else is gonna step up, you will!
“Step up to what, pray tell?” Asks Rezzie with a bemused look on her face!
You’re not too sure how to stop a war, you begin-
“Has your world had a lotta wars?” Volka inquires like a kid in a classroom! Errr, definitely more than five, you nod, but that’s not the point! What matters is that you focus on what you can deal with right now… and it sounds like you’ve got all the ingredients to whip up a catering-sized serving of ‘<span class="mu-s">Cultist Ass-Whoopin’ Casserole!</span>’
“Yea… yea!” Nods Tzah-Tzie, her eyes lighting up like stars at your sudden burst of enthusiasm! “We know what they’re planning… and we know where to find ‘em!”
“The only hitch is getting outta’ town…” Frowns Volka as her tail splashes the water in frustration. “Ain’t gonna be easy, Rook.”
You were able to impersonate an official Inspector <span class="mu-i">AND</span> a cult member today, you retort–if you can’t find a way out then you’ll find someone who can!
“I’d start in the <span class="mu-b">DOCKS</span> or <span class="mu-b">GOLD TOWN</span>, myself…” Suggests the Spinner. “If anyone can get anyone outta’ town, we’ll find ‘em there.”
“Ma might have an idea or two as well!” Volka adds! “Hey, we already have a few ideas!”
Yep, you nod, once we’ve secured a way out it’s just a matter of finding a way to those falls…
“Those Cultists won’t know what hit ‘em…” Concludes Rezalith with a grim laugh! “Maybe it’s the bath, Antwerp, but you’re sounding smarter than usual!” Her eyes narrow. “Only a little, though~”
