>>5880376The gate of Crypt looms in front of your autowagon, dwarfing it in comparison. And yet, it too pales in comparison to the Grand Sarcophagus - the coffinlike megastructure that the necropolis of Crypt was built on.
Lightning Ling, your chartered driver, is currently being halted by a gatekeeper of sorts. Knowing Crypt, he's probably also a gravekeeper.
"Hold. What business do you have in Crypt? You do not look like mourners, nor are you dead."
The long-shovel he has is looking quite authoritarian.
Ling replies professionally.
"Well, we were supposed to meet up with two friends of ours to journey together - a mouse, and a horse."
The gatekeeper sighs.
"Mouse and horse? Haven't seen 'em yet on my shift. You're welcome to wait inside, as long as you stay respectful to the dead. Maybe ask the other gravekeeps, who knows?"
With that, he unwields the shovel and opens the gate.
Ling thanks the gatekeeper and the autowagon strolls in.
"Well boss, here we are - I think I can see a parking spot by the gravekeep quarters."
"Yeah, that's good, Ling. We'll wait and look around, while we're here."
Your mind whirls with several objectives, as the rest of the crew disembarks.
First, is the rendezvous with Millie and Clyde. We don't know if they're already here, or if they're on the way.
Second, try and track down that flying thief, someone here must've seen something.
"Interesting, so this is Crypt? I hear they have a chapel here."
Valencio stretched his arms and legs.
"Who knows, maybe the delightful duo could be waiting there already."
"On the off chance they haven't arrived yet, we could stay in the gravekeep quarters - it's close to the gate."
Nemo weighs in.
"Rosa, I thought I saw a goblin grove - maybe we could visit Nanna's tree?"
Craig chimes in. Good call, and there's also a chance that the flying machine man could be hiding in the grove. You can also reach the ceiling there, you think.
So, where do you go first?
