DUNGEON LOG: KEYSTONE SHORE

[phantasmods]

The morning of the 9th, everyone will get a message sent to their communication devices -

Okay, guys! I think we have enough stabilizers to try and get the shoreline stable. If you want to help out, grab your supplies and come on up to the roof!

When characters arrive at the roof, they'll find Top - with a wheeling table full of many copies of the same odd-looking device - the two exploratory drones, and a ramp down off the roof to the ground. (The latter looks a little hastily constructed.)

"Okay," Top says, picking up one of the devices. "Here's the stabilizers. Stick them to walls and stuff - mostly out of the way places where they're not going to get knocked off - and then press the buttons along the side."

They demonstrate, unfolding the set of legs at one end of the device before showing the buttons to anyone who's close enough. "Go ahead and take a couple, especially if you've got one of those space-saving inventories going on, I know there's like four of you with those? Strange got some first aid kits together, too, if you want."

Sure enough, another table nearby has the med kits... As well as traditional paper bag lunches, courtesy of Bottom. Don't question it too much.

"We'll be staying back here to keep track of the stabilization progress and work the drones," Top says, "but don't hesitate to call if you get in trouble! We'll send one of these guys down to get you an evac if you need it."

And with that, you're free to go down the ramp... Or to make for the beach however else you might choose to go.

Eh, I figure shopkeeps will start showing up soon enough. The station's our Town, so the mechanics say merchants are an inevitability.

[rhododendronhoney]

[A raised eyebrow.] ...are you sure this place works by those mechanics though?

[have_hat_will_travel]

...

[Pidonus pauses, scratching the back of her head a little.]

Right.

Still. Future trade. That's still possibly a good idea, so.

[rhododendronhoney]

Yeah, and I guess there might be stuff other people grab that we don't have a chance to get ourselves. So there might still be some opportunities for trade. [Cori glances at the clams again.] ...so, if I had a fire, I could just let them clamp shut and then boil them open.

[have_hat_will_travel]

... That's a solution. Though... Hm. The important part's getting the shells and the meat...

[Pidonus starts walking towards one.]

It's not like they have an attack, near as I can tell...

[rhododendronhoney]

[Cori follows carefully.] Watch out they don't clamp down on your hand or something, though...

[phantasmods]

[What's that about them not having an attack?

ZZZZAP.]

[rhododendronhoney]

Pidonus! Are you alright? [Cori's further away, but now rushing forwards after seeing that burst of electricity.]

[have_hat_will_travel]

NGH!

[Pidonus tenses. Her electricity immunity, thankfully, kicks in to prevent any damage.]

Back! I'm fine! Electricity immunity. Don't get too close, unless you've got the same. Which would be surprising.

Urgh.

[rhododendronhoney]

[She hisses. That still looks like it hurt.] No, I don't...we need some way to drag it out of there without getting too close. Because that definitely sounded like it hurt you anyways!

[have_hat_will_travel]

It hurts. It didn't hurt me. There's a difference. I'll endure it, let's just... Get to the point!

[And she pulls her rapier out, waiting for the clam to open so she can stab it!]

[rhododendronhoney]

[Cori hisses anyways.] O-okay, if I remember right there's a bit of flesh connecting it to the inner shell and that's where you should stab it. It'll stop it from closing! [Hey, her culinary experience can come in handy sometimes.]

[have_hat_will_travel]

Right!

[And as it opens - a precise swing with Pidonus' rapier at the target!]
