LOBBYQUEST - PARTY 2

Once you enter the door, you find yourself passing through, uh -

This front yard? It seems you've found yourself in some sort of dolphin mansion.

[ wh

that was more than intended. ]

This house is... really odd?

[ She steps nimbly aside from the shattering statuette, but. Hm. ]

Very odd.
I don't know what that was, but it was... was it something?

(( tracking: dog commands and adoration ))

Ah, that statue shattering didn't hurt you, did it...?

...honestly there's so many of them in here I'm not sure how it took that long to break one.

Not at all.

Perhaps we should head back, though. This place seems to dead end, and I recall there was another room attached to the entry hall.

Mm... I think that's probably a good idea. Lead the way, Madam Amaranth.

[ enleadens—

Can we in fact go straight to the bar? ]

every day I worry all day

bout what's waitin' in the bushes for us

[ dog commands, adoration ]

It seems like a normal noble's estate, really...I wonder where their maids are, though.

Or for that matter, where the owner is...

It seems like they were making some kind of... elixir? So perhaps we should be on the lookout for a workshop or laboratory.

[ glancing at the tub ]

...unless that's it.

...Do people keep elixirs in dirty bathtubs?

I have no idea.

This house doesn't seem very, er—

...like it does anything in a usual way, though.

Oh, I'm almost certain there was a knight with a sound-based defense system in their home! It seems like such an obvious gimmick I can't imagine it's not been done several times over!

[ 🤝 ]

Too much strangeness hidden in bathtubs and iceboxes for my liking, or to really call it "normal." As I said to Eirene earlier—some of this reminds me of legends from my world, about what lies outside the world.

People where you come from have explored that far?

Well, they live all across Creation, even its borders, and they pass along enough tales that I suppose it's one of those things... most everyone knows, at least a little.

Do you not have any seas?

Yes, of course we do. The Western sea reaches all the way to the border of the Wyld, it is said.

There weren't any here when we entered - but it's strange to imagine that there wouldn't be any to greet guests in the foyer, isn't it? Do you think that they could be missing?

It's possible...if they were sealed away with their lord, maybe they didn't survive?

[ dog commands, scorpions ]

Well - it's true that the decorations are strange, but it's still only normal, isn't it?

Do you see anything else that we should try to collect? You're always so observant, aren't you, Eirene?

[ as she takes pictures and more notes, gently brushing away... something? ]

Ah, am I...?

Er—the only thing here I can really think of that might be significant are the dolphin statues, but those seem kind of big to carry around. Unless whatever's in the bathtub is something we can take a sample of.

Mm, aren't you?

[ which just comes out sounding vaguely accusatory for some reason ]

Well, I'll go to check.

[ and heading to the tub ]

Inside the bathtub is...!

A

lot of fur. It's an absolute mess of fur. But besides that, it's also some sort of mouthwateringly fruity smelling turquoise liquid? It smells so delicious it's almost haunting.

There was a bar of soap here. It's gone now.

[ gatherin samples

reaching to pick up a bit of fur first, just a good tuft or so to wrap it in a bit of paper and set it in her bag ]

CONGRATULATIONS! GET EQUIPPED WITH:

Wet Fur
