Gold City - Kolem's Pad
In stark contrast to all the gold overlay outside, this room's floor
appears to be made of incredibly vibrant oak and mahogant wood, and
it's covered with a plush, soft carpet. There's a cabinet with drawers in
the far corner, inlaid with wood that's been stylized to resemble vines with
a Pirahna Plant motif--there are even thorns on the top corners.
There's a high bed in the opposite corner, with blankets that drape all the
way down to the floor, and an ornate lantern overhead.

(] Exits: [east] [)
A purple wooden bureau is standing in one corner.
Tidily made up here is king-sized and plush, perhaps even pudgy, bed.
A key to someone's home has been dropped here, still on the keyring.
(Charmed) an adorable Skitty is sitting here.
(Charmed) Winky the Frog is sleeping on a limited edition Maou Mudo king-size bed.
Kolem is here.
Dusk is here.
Armandine is here.

Imbibobot is splayed out on the floor at an awkward angle.

Kolem crawls up from the basement, and sighs, looking around.

Dusk closes his notepad and evilly chuckles softly, "No one will ever know..."

Armandine hops out from the comfy bed.

Armandine says 'So! What's for breakfast?'

Kolem says 'What's for breakfast is'

Kolem says '...are those tire tracks on my bed.'

Kolem says '... Let's all get on our way, shall we?'

Dusk nods.

Armandine pouts.

Armandine says 'fine fine'

Kolem goes to pull at the drunken robot-that-is-mostly-dead, and hauls him up to his shell, cringing. "Up you go, fella."

Armandine eats a piece of jerky.

Dusk says 'We must find a way to bring the life of alcohol to our friend once more!'

Kolem drinks water from the kitchen sink.

Imbibobot is successfully hoisted.

Kolem gets a brass keyring with a Gold City key.

Kolem unlocks the door.
Kolem opens the door.

Kolem says 'C'mon. We have a boat to catch'

Kolem leaves east.

Gold City - Diamond Plaza
The shimmering sea of diamonds that comprises the Diamond Walk splits
into an upside-down Y shape here. The southeast and southwest forks are
forced apart by the diamond-shaped building occupying the center of the
plaza, its back facing north. Two sheets of water cascade down the
building's sides in an impressively engineered natural luxury. Sparkles
playing off the crystal-clear water reflect onto the diamonds and golden
bricks in a dazzling array of light.

(] Exits: [north] west ne se [)

Kolem says '...assuming... I don't collapse.'

Kolem leaves ne.

Gold City - Silver Street
A white banner overarching the shop doorway to the north boldly announces
THE ORIGINAL MR. MOTI'S, commanding the immediate attention of anyone
passing by. It would have to, for this section of town is scattered with
all kinds of merchant stalls, peddlers and storefronts. Silver trees and
flowers protrude from the gold bricking of the pavement at intervals.

(] Exits: [north] west se [)

Kolem opens the door.
Kolem says 'I'll warn you all now, this guy...'

Kolem leaves north.

Gold City - Original Moti Market
Several tasselled curtains overhang the entrance to this exotic shop.
Four white pillars support the ceiling from each corner, and wooden poles
are jammed between them. From these poles hang a variety of merchandise
ranging from various candies to dry herbs. An elaborate tasselled rug is on
the floor, as well as various woven baskets. There is a sign on the
wall.

(] Exits: south [)
A man wearing a turban is dancing about, behind the counter.

Kolem says 'Gouges like mad'

Armandine cartwheels into the room.

Kolem buys a Gold City ferry ticket to Shrike.

Armandine says 'Oh, thanks!'

Kolem says 'Three people and one peice of cargo.'

Mr. Moti Sr chuckles politely.

Mr. Moti Sr says 'I made SO much money just now. You have no idea.'

Kolem says 'Yes, Mr. Moti.'

Kolem says 'I'm sure you did, Mr. Moti.'

Kolem turns away, and rolls his eyes, stumbling toward the door.

Mr. Moti Sr says 'Oh my goodness. Did I say that or think that?'

Mr. Moti Sr returns to dancing.

Kolem says 'Say it. Perhaps you should see a doctor...'

Kolem leaves south.

Dusk says 'He seemed like an alright guy.'

Armandine says 'At least he's honest! Kupo'

Kolem says 'Never trust a man who macarenas in his sleep.'

Kolem leaves se.

Gilded Paradise, Gold City - On the Docks
The vast, sparkling blue sea stretches out in all directions from this
vantage point. This is the end of the short dock that curls around the base
of the island on which Gold City rests. It is quite crowded with small
ships and yachts, despite being so small; the rich and affluent keep their
seafaring vessels here. A floating platform has been attached to the north
for airship landings.

(] Exits: north east [)

The ticket taker is here, standing patiently at the end of the pier.

Kolem says 'Hey, is the boat to Shrike still here?'

Kolem gives a Gold City ferry ticket to Shrike to the ticket taker.
The ticket taker allows Kolem to board the ferry to Shrike.

The ferry shoves off northwestward and gradually fades into the horizon.

Gold City Ferry to Shrike
This ferry is little more than a long, flat cargo barge, hastily
converted into something more suitable for transporting people. A rail has
been erected around the edge, with a gate for boarding and departing when
the ferry is at a dock. The sea stretches out in all directions.

(] Exits: none [)
A Human wearing a bright yellow raincoat stands on deck.
A vending machine stands against the wall, offering vendables.

Armandine buys a piece of candy.

Armandine gives a piece of candy to an adorable Skitty.

Kolem says 'May as well set--'

Imbibobot is successfully stowed away like any ordinary cargo.

Armandine buys a piece of candy.

Kolem flops over.

Kolem says '--ttle and relax. It's another ride.'

The ferry turns westward as it passes by two large landmasses to the north and south.

Armandine says 'Breakfast is on me!'

Armandine buys a piece of candy[10].
Armandine gives a piece of candy to Kolem.
Armandine gives a piece of candy to Dusk.

Kolem says '... no way this is healty.'

Kolem divides a piece of candy into two smaller portions.

Kolem eats half of a piece of candy.
Kolem's hit points are restored.

Kolem eats half of a piece of candy.
Kolem's hit points are restored.

Armandine eats a piece of candy.
Armandine's hit points are restored.

Dusk looks at a piece of candy in his inventory.

Dusk thinks, 'Hmmmm.'

Armandine says 'It has 18 essensial sugars!'

Kolem says 'So, who knows anybody in Shrike?'

In the distance, a small island with a massive city comes into view, and the ferry slowly approaches its southern dock.

Dusk says 'I have been there a few times, but..'

The ferry pulls up next to the docks.

The ferry captain says 'We've arrived at Shrike! Everybody off the boat!'

The ferry captain walks over to the gate and opens it.

You are escorted off the ferry onto the docks.

Shrike - Loading Dock
On the south end of Shrike, a metal and wood dock has been constructed
for the loading and unloading of goods. Barges loaded with food and other
necessities arrive from time to time, and leave with medicines, mechanical
goods, and other products of the city.

(] Exits: north [)
A woman at the end of the dock loads people onto the ferry.

The ferry immediately turns around, not allowing anyone else to board it as it returns to sea.

Kolem says 'Hmm.'

Dusk says '..butthat aside! The Legendary Guild of Engineers is housed here.'

Kolem says '...That sounds promising...'

Dusk says 'Perhaps one of them would be willing to assist us?'

Kolem says 'Do you know the way?'

Dusk nods.
Dusk leaves north.

Shrike - Former Construction Site
A brand new building is standing here where there once was a lengthy
construction site. It resembles a squat clock tower, but the clock's hands
spin crazily in opposite directions. Metal doors are set in the bottom to
access the western tower, while another path runs north-south through the
area. An odd platform has been built across the way, to the east.

(] Exits: north east south [west] [)
A sturdy woodcutting axe has been left lying around for some reason.

Dusk thinks, 'Hmmmm.'

Dusk opens the door.
Dusk leaves west.

Shrike Engineer Guild - Foyer
This area is mostly the inner workings of the clock tower. Mechanical
noises are coming from above where most of the gears and workings are.
Several discarded tools are lying here in general disarray, along with an
assortment of nuts and bolts. One could pass between the support beams to
the west, or exit to the eastern alley.

(] Exits: east west up [)
In the foyer here is a lovely young lady with her hair in pigtails.

Dusk says 'Aha! My memory has served me well.'

Dusk looks at Welch.

Armandine looks at Welch.

Kolem says '...Hey there.'

Kolem sets a clearly-horrible-condition robot down with a resounding THUMP.

Welch says 'Good morning! Welcome to the Engineer's Guild.'

Armandine says 'Any robot doctors in the house?'

Dusk says 'Excuse me, miss. The light of alcoholism has guided us here on a holy quest.'

Kolem says '...'

Kolem says 'Pardon me, I'll translate into 'sane'.'

Kolem says 'Our friend here is in a very bad way. Do you know anyone here who can help him?'

Dusk says 'Ah, thank you very much, Sir Kolem! Such a gentleman.'

Welch stops for a moment before figuring out who will be easier to listen to.

Dusk mumbles softly, "Soon we will all see just what 'sane' truly is! Hmhmhmhmhm...."

Welch listens to Kolem intently.

Armandine tilts his head. Kupo?

Welch thinks, 'Hmmmm.'

Kolem looks at an explorer's backpack in its inventory.

Kolem gets half of a redfin tuna from an explorer's backpack.
Kolem eats half of a redfin tuna.
Motes of light shimmer and settle around Kolem.

Welch says 'Your friend? I'm sorry, but there are no psychologists here.'

Welch says 'Oh! Your said robot friend. You mean that?'

Welch points at you accusingly.

Kolem says 'Yeah.'

Armandine says 'Yeah. We need to find someone who would know the opposite of tequilla.'

Armandine nods.

Welch says 'Oh, I, I'm sorry. I didn't notice at first. I thought that was some luggage.'

Welch walks over to Imbibobot.

Dusk says 'Ah, he was disguised very well! Well done, Sir Kolem.'

Kolem says 'Well, he's not exactly in tip-top shape, right now... ...and I can see how you'd get that impression...'

Kolem says '..he's sorta.. chunky and luggageish.'

Welch pokes Imbibobot a bit with her staff.

Armandine cocks an eyebrow at you and clears his throat.

Armandine says 'Ah I already tried poking.'

Welch says 'Oh! Thank you, then.'

Welch says 'I figure it's always worth trying!'

Kolem says '...'

Armandine agrees with Welch.

Dusk says 'Such wonderful advice! I will have to take notes.'

Kolem looks at Dusk. His hope has clearly decreased.

Welch says 'It doesn't look like a very modern robot. It can't possibly be very complicated.'

Welch says 'I bet our intern can handle it!'

Welch says 'His name's Willy. Go down the hall, and it's the first door on your left.'

Kolem says 'Er... ...thank you...'

Dusk says 'Thank you very much! The light of Alcholism shall surely persevere this day!'

Kolem leaves west.

Shrike Engineer Guild - Gadgetry
This back room is cluttered with junk. Greasy and rusted bolts, screws,
cogs, springs, pulleys and tools lie scattered about. Humanoid robots sit
in one corner with body parts missing or internal machinery spilling out
like steel guts. One long table has been set out, upon which multiple
blueprints and charts are spread. A door lies beyond the maze of parts, to
the south.

(] Exits: east [south] [)
A chocolate brown matango is here, fussing with the clutter.

Dusk has arrived from the east.

Kolem opens the door.

Kolem says '...'

Armandine says 'Sounds good to me!'

Armandine looks at Choclet.

Kolem says 'Is it me, or is this a terrifying idea?'

Kolem looks at Choclet.

Kolem talks to Choclet.
Choclet says 'Welcome to the engineering shop!'
A nearby machine emits some back smoke.
Choclet coughs loudly.
Choclet says 'Pay no mind to these toys o'mine! We sell everything you need!'

Kolem leaves south.

Shrike Engineer Guild - Gadgetry
This small room is a continuation of the junk room through the northern
door, with metal parts scraps piled up and organized in random shelving
units. A large table is spread out here, and a catalog is open on top
of it. A messy workstation lies behind it.

(] Exits: north [)
A catalog has been laid out on the table here.
A young man wearing a labcoat is hard at work with a wrench and pliers.

Armandine says 'It's just you.'

Kolem looks at Willy the intern.

Dusk looks at Willy the intern.

Kolem says '..Hi there, Willy.'

Kolem looks at Willy the intern.

Armandine looks at Willy the intern.

Willy the intern says 'Wow! All this attention! Hi.'

Armandine says 'Our pal here needs some attention too'

Dusk says 'Lo and behold, he who shall restore life to he who had it stolen from it! We are honered to be in your presence.'

Kolem says 'It's nice to meet you. We have a problem, and we're hoping you can help us.'

Armandine nudges you.

Kolem says '...help me get him on the counter, guys.'

Kolem says 'He's heavy.'

Armandine tilts his head at Kolem. Kupo?

Willy the intern says 'Oh, let me!'

Willy the intern runs over to Imbibobot's feet and grabs that end.

The shadow of an airship briefly passes over you.

Kolem takes his arms, and does his best to hoist...

Willy the intern says 'Ready? 1, 2...'

Kolem says 'Three!'

Imbibobot is successfully hoisted.

Imbibobot lands with a couple of dull thuds on the table.

Willy the intern gives Imbibobot a once-over.

Willy the intern lifts up one of Imbibobot's arms and lets it fall again.

Willy the intern says 'Wow! Where'd you find him?'

Armandine nods.

Armandine says 'He's not normally this lazy'

Kolem says '...He kinda found me, to be honest. In a bar.'

Dusk says 'He appeared one day to bring the message to the people!'

Cedeno rolls his eyes.

Dusk mumbles softly, "And to bring me..to God! Hehehehehe...."

Cedeno peers at Dusk quizzically.

Willy the intern says 'At a glance, he's an interesting design. I'd say built by a real craftsman.'

Willy the intern says 'Some of his work's really haphazard. There's some obvious welds on his body where misshappen pieces of metal were stuck together.'

Kolem says '..I think he did that himself. I don't knwo for sure.'

Willy the intern says 'Probably a budget job. But the joints, the articulation, that's all quite excellent!'

Cedeno looks at you.

Willy the intern says 'Alright, let's get to work.'

Willy the intern whips out a multimeter and a couple of alligator clips.

Kolem says 'Do you think you can get the little guy working again? I don't like seeing innocent things suffer, even nutso little bots... eep.'

Kolem scrambles out of the way.

Willy the intern snaps an alligator clip to each of Imbibobot's hands.

Cedeno says 'I dont think it's really suffering...'

Willy the intern starts adjusting some dials.

Dusk says 'Yet'

Dusk grins evilly.

Kolem says '...I would qualify it as 'injured'...'

Cedeno blinks at Dusk in confusion.

Armandine says 'I think he's just sleeping.'

Cedeno says 'What was that?'

Willy the intern says 'I don't know if he's sleeping, but he's powered.'

Cedeno says 'Then whats the problem?'

Willy the intern says 'Just very slightly. No more than 2 volts running through him. Wonder if there's a circuit problem?'

Willy the intern says 'I can check his internal circuit boards if I can open him up.'

Willy the intern says 'Does anyone know where his access panel is?'

Kolem inches away, slowly.

Kolem says '...no idea.'

Armandine tilts his head at Willy. Kupo?

Dusk thinks, 'Hmmmm.'

Cedeno peers at you quizzically.

Dusk looks at you.

Kolem looks at you.

Armandine says 'Should we get a privacy screen'

Willy the intern says 'It's usually a tightly bolted panel on the chest or back, but I don't see one here.'

Willy the intern thinks, 'Hmmmm.'

Willy the intern says 'Maybe we don't need to open him up. Maybe my clips are just attached badly.'

Dusk says 'Perhaps if we pour alcohol on him, its light shall show us the way!'

Armandine says 'yes! lets do that again!'

Willy the intern edges away from Dusk. Better make sure I'm on the opposite side of the room from that one.

Armandine eats a piece of jerky.

Kolem scoots next to Dusk. "That CAUSED the problem."

Willy the intern says 'I should know all the details. What happened?'

Armandine says 'doesn't mean it can't also be the solution'

Cedeno says 'Too much booze.'

Kolem says 'Well... He took a drink in the Viorar bar...'

Armandine says 'The cactus juice drink i think'

Kolem says '...after a ride in a bus...'

Kolem says 'Tequila, that was it.'

Cedeno says 'You mean the SWEET RIDE.'

Armandine agrees with Cedeno.

Armandine says 'Definitly a very nice van'

Dusk says 'It was more like a ride -on- a bus.'

Cedeno rears back and slaps Armandine cruelly for his stupidity, sending him sprawling to the floor.

Dusk says 'He rode on top!'

Willy the intern says 'That's peculiar. Robots don't actually metabolize alcohol.'

Cedeno says 'What?'

Kolem says '..they don't?'

Willy the intern says 'Don't get me wrong! They can use it as well as water just fine.'

Willy the intern says 'The high-end ones just have a synthetic drunkenness effect. They really can't get drunk.'

Cedeno says 'Robots sure are wierd.'

Willy the intern says 'Who put all this after-market junk on him anyway? A shot glass, really?'

Willy the intern looks at you.

Armandine looks innocently about himself.

Willy the intern says 'In fact, it's blocking the best attachment point for my alligator clip.'

Willy the intern says 'Let's get this junk off him.'

Armandine says 'Kupo. I have a bad feeling about this.'

Willy the intern says 'Anyone have a blowtorch?'

Cedeno says 'I have a crowbar somewhere...'

Dusk says 'I have a can of hairspray!'

Dusk says 'Or at least, I thought I did.'

Kolem says '...'

Willy the intern chuckles politely.

Kolem says 'I don't.. have any tools.'

Armandine looks at a crowbar in his inventory.

Dusk says 'I have a large magnifying glass! Shall we take him into the sun?'

Willy the intern says 'Oh, let's try the crowbar.'

Armandine looks at a Blowtorch in his inventory.

Cedeno says '... I left it in the bus when I lost it.'

Armandine says 'I got a crowbar'

Armandine drops a crowbar.
Willy the intern gets a crowbar.

Willy the intern says 'Alright. Here we go!'

Cedeno backs away slowly.

Willy the intern jumps up on the table with Imbibobot, and stands over him.

Willy the intern wedges the crowbar between Imbibobot's hand and his shot glass.

Kolem debates following instinct and curling into his shell.

Cedeno says 'This.... probably won't be good.'

Cedeno backs away some more.

Dusk says 'How exciting! The process of restoration in effect!'

Willy the intern hurls his whole weight behind the crowbar.

Cedeno glares at Dusk.

Sccchr--ding! The shot glass snaps off of Imbibobot and goes flying!

It ricochets off the ceiling and zooms towards Kolem!

Cedeno says 'JESUS CHRIST TAKE COVER!'

Dusk suddenly ducks. Avoiding something?

Armandine says 'Kupo, his name is pronounced 'Kolem''

Kolem blinks...

Kolem screams like a little girl and flops onto his back!

Armandine eats a piece of jerky.

Cedeno smacks his face down into his palms.

The ballistic shot glass zooms right past where Kolem used to be standing and ricochets off the floor!

Kolem shudders and curls up tight.

The shot glass zooms along the floor, flying at Armandine's feet!

Cedeno ducks under the table.

Armandine tries to catch it!

SWEET
CATCH

Cedeno emits an unrivaled cheer! Woo!

Armandine looks at a shotglass in his inventory.

Armandine inspects it for damage.

Willy the intern says 'Wow. That thing's sturdy for a little chunk of glass.'

Cedeno says 'Well. That was.... Exctiting.'

Willy the intern walks over to Armandine to inspect the shot glass.

Kolem is trembling. "What kind of glass bounces off cement..."

Cedeno says 'The kind of glass that ISNT ACTUALLY GLASS.'

Willy the intern says 'Huh. That's not glass at all.'

Armandine says 'Kupo! You got that right.'

Willy the intern says 'Precisely!'

Cedeno smiles happily.

Cedeno says 'What is it, then?'

Armandine puts the shotglass on the counter.

Kolem uncurls, sitting on his shell and rocking to his feet.

Cedeno comforts Kolem.

Willy the intern says 'Well, I suppose it's a sort of glass. I think it's lead glass.'

Kolem says 'Jeez...'

Cedeno says 'Lead glass?'

Willy the intern says 'Very sturdy. But what's that on the bottom?'

Willy the intern inspects the bottom of the shot glass.

Armandine stands up on his tippy toes and inspects the glass as well.

Kolem blinks, preferring to stay out of the way of any possible future shrapnel.

A blue "W" inscribed in a circle is drawn on the bottom of the shot glass.

Willy the intern says 'Oh. Hmm. Let's ignore that.'

Cedeno says '...'

Willy the intern says 'Look over here! The access panel was under that shot glass the whole time!'

Cedeno looks at Willy the intern.

Armandine nods in agreement to Willy the intern.

Willy the intern hurries back over to Imbibot and opens up the hand access panel.

Armandine says 'Kind of a weird spot for a panel I guess.'

Cedeno says 'Yeah.'

Willy the intern opens up the panel and attaches an alligator clip to a wire inside.

Cedeno says 'Whoever installed that glass didnt want us to find the panel...'

Dusk thinks, 'Hmmmm.'

Kolem says 'What a messed up situation...'

Dusk inspects the shot glass.

Dusk grins evilly.

Cedeno glares at Dusk.

Willy the intern fiddles with the multimeter a bit.

Armandine scratches his head in confusion.

Armandine says 'What's the news doc?! Will he ever drink again?!'

Armandine eats a piece of jerky.

Dusk takes his notepad and beings copying the symbol on the shot glass.

Cedeno looks at Dusk.

Cedeno thinks, 'Hmmmm.'

Willy the intern says 'Yes, yes, plenty of drinking in the future. He's perfectly fine.'

Cedeno says 'Then why is he out cold?'

Willy the intern says 'Uh...'

Cedeno says 'Dammit, I think we deserve some answers!'

Willy the intern says 'Right. Why is he out cold? There's a simple answer for that. And that simple answer is that he's been drinking too much.'

Cedeno says '...'

Willy the intern says 'So of course, he went and blacked out!'

Cedeno smacks his face down into his palms.

Kolem says '...Flat-out drunk. Just like I thought.'

Armandine tilts his head. Kupo?

Armandine says 'It's kind of been an entire day now though'

Willy the intern says 'Yes. Exactly. He just got too drunk.'

An Immortal says 'Now I think that's enough inspecting. I'm sure he'll be fine.'

Cedeno says 'Wow, being synthetic drunk is way worse than normal drunk. Who would of thought?'

Willy the intern says 'And I think it's time for all of you to leave. Now.'

Armandine says 'But we just got here!'

Armandine says 'You seem kind of tense. You should come out drinking with us! Kupo'

Willy the intern says 'Synthetic drunk? What? There's no such thing as synthetic drunk. I made that up!'

The wind kicks up as the airship pulls into the station.

Willy the intern says 'And that's a nice offer but you see I'm very busy here.'

Cedeno says '... Well.'

Dusk puts his notepad away.

Cedeno glares at Dusk.

Armandine pouts at the way he is being treated by Willy the intern.

Willy the intern says 'Where's that shot glass? I'll take that off your hands.'

Cedeno says 'Why?'

Armandine says 'I think drinkmath is going to want that when he wakes up. Sorry'

Dusk says 'I believe this shot glass holds the answers we seek..the answers -I- seek.'

Willy the intern says 'No, he shouldn't have it. He's an alcoholic! You're enabling him.'

Cedeno says '...'

Cedeno glares at Dusk.

Armandine tilts his head at Willy. Kupo?

Dusk says 'Enabling him is what will enable the truth. Someday you'll understand.'

Dusk grins evilly.

Cedeno says 'I'm watching you, Dusk.'

Willy the intern says 'Well, that's not all! I told you it's made of lead. Lead is toxic. I'll take it off your hands.'

Armandine says 'Pfft that is an old wives tale!'

Armandine says 'Anyway you look pretty busy here so we'll just get out of your hair.'

Cedeno says 'Yeah thats just what they said about lava.'

Armandine pushes you, maybe trying to act aggressive?

Dusk says 'You have served us well, Willy.'

Imbibobot topples off the table.

Armandine says 'Hrf. Well, see ya later!. Nrf.'

Armandine pulls on you, maybe trying to get your attention?

Dusk says 'Come, Drinkman. It's time we shared the light to those who have not seen it.'

Imbibobot is yanked back up by Armandine before smacking onto the floor.

Armandine opens the door.

Willy the intern says 'I want that glass!'

Armandine waves happily.

Willy the intern screams loudly!

Cedeno says '...'

Dusk helps Imbibobot up.

Armandine leaves north.

A chocolate brown matango is here, fussing with the clutter.

Armandine says 'Phew'

Cedeno says 'Hold on im gonna go back and punch him in the face.'

Dusk says 'I suggest we leave him at Sir Kolem's place.'

Cedeno says 'Yeah that works.'

Kolem says 'Wait, wait, what--'

Forte grats 'TikTalik!'

Armandine looks at Imbibobot's shot glass in his inventory.

Kolem groans.

Kolem says 'My place?'

Kolem says '...'

Armandine eats a piece of jerky.

Cedeno nods in agreement to Kolem.

Cedeno says 'I think were done here.'

Dusk says 'While we speak the truth to those who have not drank unto God.'

Armandine wonders what is so special about this shot glass anyway.

Armandine looks at Imbibobot's shot glass in his inventory.

Kolem says '..I guess none of you have any place to crash, huh?'

Armandine looks like he's about to go up, but suddenly stops short and looks confused.

Kolem cradles Imbib to his back, then blinks.

Kolem says '...He feels a little lighter. How heavy was that drink?'

Cedeno says 'Well isnt there an inn near by or something?'

Cedeno shrugs helplessly.

Dusk says 'Let us not forget his words:'

Dusk says ''To lend him a Buck when He's Broke, and to let Him Sleep on your couch.''
