Slime Salad

Tokamak scowls daggers, but let's the topic drop.

"Fine. Anything else? Time's wasting."

Tokamak drops her foot off the table and leans forward.

"Hey! Don't you roll your eyes at me you patronizing slime! It's not my fault you explained it that way! You're the ones who screwed up so bad that you need OUR help cleaning up the mess."

She doesn't leave though.

The trading post is well-stocked with an eclectic mix of all sorts of stuff. There is a lot of fabric and clothing, but Hyne does spot a small selection of armor. There are multiple shelves of canned food. They seem to be marked with small colorful painted labels depicting the fruit of vegetable ins...

Catt looks at the heap of Renold's possessions that Slickens had dragged out. "Hey! There was a portal in there like the one that Wilstra got naked in! Maybe old Renny went through it?" "Somebody should go check the place where Wilstra ended up. See if he is standing there shivering i...

Arcadia "I don't know for sure", says Cassia, drying her eyes with the handkerchief. "But he has been talking about the Caravan depot, and he said he would be gone all night long. I don't know who he is mixed up with. That is a rough enough place in the day, but at night I think only...

The streets are dark, but not completely empty. Many wagonmasters and coach-drivers are brining horses out from wherever they were stabled for the night, and getting them hitched to wagons.

When he gets a clear view of the sky unobstructed by houses or trees, Hyne can see the horizon reddening. It will be morning soon.

It is entirely possible that some shops might be open this early.

"How much are we getting payed to go up against robots with military grade weapons?" Asks Tokamak cynically. She's desperate, but not suicidal.

Hyne hides himself in the shadows between two buildings and checks his pack. Nothing is missing.

Hyne can't tell for sure, but it is probably an hour or two before dawn.

Down the stairs, Hyne finds the man with the curly moustache standing alertly at his desk inspire of the early hour. He is holding a book. Behind him in a chair is a little old woman with a hunched back and a face like a dried up apple. She is knitting furiously. Some kind of small homunculus is sit...

"What's this little side building here" Tokamak asks, pointing to the smaller detached building that she hopes is a garage.
