We rested. As we slept, Nitro had a dream where she was walking around Absalom and came upon a parade of gaunt, lanky figures walking towards a raised platform at the end of a street. The figures were transporting prisoners towards the platform, the crowd was jeering the prisoners and throwing fruit etc.
Once the parade & prisoners reached the platform, a prisoner was beheaded by a figure in a crimson hood. After the beheading, the figure pointed to Nitro ominously.
We made our way over to the Grand Bazaar to do our hat shopping for the meeting with Margaret Aswold. Snax tried to identify anything magical about the shoes he got from Seamus, but was only able to determine that they are in fact shoes made of leaves. Very sturdy leaves. Nitro Davenport OHara tried to ID the cloth that she got from Hope, but was also unsuccessful.
This lead us to realize we needed to identify some the stuff we've collects, so we made our way to...
We dumped all of our equipment on Anasazi for identification. Nitro grilled him about Naralla. He had no info about her, but did point us towards the Puddle Jumpers as a possible point of contact for shady dealings in The Coins. Anasazi pointed us to a haberdasher across the street for hats. His favorite type of hat is the backwards red baseball hat. Off to...
Harold wears a "Slash" style top hat on his head. Eccentric! We bought our hats
There is a surprising amount of mercury in Harold's hats, should we be worried?
As we walked into Misery row, Otto went to find the ugliest guard he could, but found a slightly less than average looking person. To grill about Naralla. The guard had not seen Naralla, but did point us towards Pajeet as a person to follow up with about a missing person. Pajeet runs the puddle jumpers. The PuddleJumpers usually hang at Pilldapush's Chattel
The guards are paid to let the bloody butchers run their own situations etc.
Otto stumbled across two halflings playing dice in an alley:
After some careful Otto and Snax negotiations and threats, and Nitro winning a dice game we found out a few things:
Snax slipped a few demo tapes in their pockets as we all walked to towards the Chattel
Otto stumbled across an old woman with gills and cat eyes that was begging for help getting out of Misery Row
She refused to give us her name, but said her favorite color is orange, and her favorite food is Cheetos.
We're calling her Cheeto.
Cheeto had a sad story about being taken to the sanitarium and experimented on. We decided to bypass the puddle jumpers and the Chattel, and just go right to the source: The Mertlinger Sanitarium, over in Westgate.
We took Cheeto with us, dropped her off at the Saucy Wench suite we purchased, and ended the session standing outside of the sanitarium.
