Leif manages to look back and glare at Jeremy while being pulled out of the room.

Quote from: FlashFlireLeif rolls his eyes. "So our job's just to go talk with some boring science-types? Great."
"Oh, hush," Lydia replies. "Come on, let's go get some supplies," she says, dragging Leif out of the room, and going towards the shop.
Quote from: \//"I'm not sure I need anything, but I suppose looking around wouldn't hurt."
Quote from: FishmaelJeremy and Eirmede head to the store as well. "So Eirmede," says Jeremy, hoping no one notices him flipping through a pocket thesaurus. "If she gave you the bag of money, does that make you a... burning bursar?"
"That's... that's not even a joke," Eirmede says. "It was literally just alliteration."
"What about a... pyro-purser?"
Quote from: Joyous ThetaThe Shield follows silently.
The group heads across the road to the shop and enters. Immediately, the strong smell of pasta and tomatoes hits the group.

Claire: Hi! Chef Pedro is in the back. Anyways, what can I get for you? We also accept gold coins in place of any currency.

(2 silver coins) Pasta: Uncooked pasta. Restores 10 BP to a single target.
(2 ruby nuggets) bread: Plain bread. Restores 5 BP to the party.

Items purchased. Per the discussion on Discord, this costs 9 silver, 15 rubies, and 6 gold.

Claire: Enjoy the products! can I get you anything else? Or do you want Chef Pedro to cook some of your stuff for you? It's free if you purchase the gourmet pass.

"I think we're fine for now, thanks," Lydia replies.
"...as long as you're not going to make me cook all of this," Leif mutters, going back to the office.

Eirmede and Jeremy follow. Eirmede is visibly annoyed at Jeremy, who has decided to taste the hot sauce by putting a drop on his finger and licking it.
"It's kind of weak..." Jeremy says, disappointed.
"Stop. Tasting. The. Battle. Supplies," Eirmede says, taking the bottle away from him.

The group heads back to the office and to Professor Norf's study. Paige and Professor Norf are there.

Professor Norf: Hey guys. I made some helpful potions for you. Just a head's up, don't cook either of these. It's not pretty.

You get:
5x Vigor bottle: A potion packed with energy. Restores 5 MP to a target.
1x Rest bottle: Just looking at it makes you drowsy. Restores 2 MP to the party, but inflicts sleepy.

Professor Norf: I can make more, but the ingredients are expensive. It's 75 of any currency for a vigor bottle and 50 of any currency for a rest bottle.

Paige: So, are you ready?

Paige: So as I said before, you need to speak with the researchers. I have prepared a set of papers explaining what we know. Here. make sure they get to the researchers. Here.

Paige hands Lydia a folder with papers in it.

Professor Norf: Do be careful. Some of the others were mentioning rising crime rates earlier.

"All right, thanks. Guess we should get going now," Leif replies.


Lydia takes a look at the contents of the folder in case any of it is actually intelligible.

Paige: "Alright. Remember, it's in the south district. The address is 84 Tungsten Street."

Lydia inspects the document, finding a lot of incomprehensible graphs.

Chapter 1: When things go wrong

You recall that the south district is due south of the central district, where Paige's office is located. It is about two hours away by walking and Paige has recommended avoiding faster methods of transport due to the possibility of a rift opening.

"I don't quite get why we need to walk, but Paige definitely knows about this stuff more than me," Lydia says, following Leif south.

"I don't see why we're avoiding rifts in the first place," Eirmede says. "At least they'd keep things interesting."
"I'll have you know that I find long walks through town to be very interesting," Jeremy says, following the group and in doing so forcing Eirmede to keep up, lest she be left more than 30 feet behind, severing the bonds in the least interesting fashion possible. "It gives me an opportunity to people watch."

The group walks along the sidewalk for a little bit. They are nearing the outskirts of the central district, when they hear a lady scream. At the same time, Jeremy, paying attention to the people, notices a group of three shady men staring at the group. One of the three is writing in a notepad.

Lady: Help! Thief! My purse!

A man carrying a purse runs past the group, roughly shoving Charles out of the way when he passes them. As he shoves Charles, a spray of water comes out of his hand, soaking Charles and getting Leif and Jeremy lightly wet.

"Oi! Stop!"
Lydia chases after him, taking out her wand and trying to knock him over with a gust of wind. Leif follows.
