>>6076404He does what you saw him do the other day, using the HMMally to make a circle around the Pit light up for about a half minute, then the center of the rubble hill <span class="mu-b">FASH</span> intensely for a few seconds.
The pegglegg Humie (Stumpy, you decide) is back too, holding Towser on a leash. The mutt monster keeps ranging his head about, sniffing for you, but his boss is focused on the rubble hill like every one else.
You see Sordyfagg give a nod to Stumpy, and they both set off to opposite sides of Plague Town.
You don't trail Sissy Sordfaggit; Plague Town's waking up too. People getting on with the business of living. It's a biggie risk, and you're almost out of pep yourself.
You keep a half doze in the long grass, watching for when Sordfag comes back.
Quite quickly: before full sun-up. He waits at the entrance of Ͳ until Stumpy shows. Stumpy waves at Sordfag, signals thumbup; gets a nod and a thumbup back, wave. Then Stumpy slopes off with Towser down Main, towards Mart Street.
Sordfag goes in Ͳ, and a little bit after you see his silhouette cross the frosted green-and-white panes of the parrish setter, disappearing into the dow.
He's done for the night, and so are you. You've trailed him on a good night, you feel: just when he needed to get in the cubby and sort his bizniz.
You're going to go back, show Seafood your rags with the chalk scrubb of the Telly Pop-up tiles, get a well deserved nappy.
You're feeling good about tonight!

"...so, Sweetfoods, 'ats how I gots, at great risk to me skid meats, this piccy of da Telly Pop-up," you finish. Seafood looks at your first chalk scrubb, then at your painstakingly (shittily) drawn overlay of de glowy bits.
You have done...something. He can't smack you for getting good and sensitive information, a hidden arrow to aim at the bowels of your enemies. But even a genius of Mystic, Alchemic and Martial arts as he is hard-pressed to make the pre-school dropout-tier drawrens you present him.
"You should have used coal," he says finally. "Or crayon. It is too bad to make a key from...but, with one or two adjustments, I can spoil the actual engram and prevent this...<span class="mu-b">Righteous Hero</span> from visiting his <span class="mu-r">sinful Love</span>. Perhaps he will be grateful to us for preserving his...<span class="mu-i">purity</span>. Hmhmhmhm...
You don't know what Seafood means exactly, but you know you agree 100%.

>Dfité Pieté, Palatine Squire, suffers -12 circumstantial penalty to Attack and Dodge rolls when you next (first) fight him; -4 thereafter.>On your next successful search of Ͳ, with Seafood's contribution, you may elect to rig the Telly Pop-up with a trap or entry denial to the lvl 2.5 cubby. You can't get in, but neither can almost anyone else apart from the Wizze wat made it.
