[Kuai has been here for over half a year and has never made a network post. The fact that this technophobe is using his tablet for something other than Sudoku is already pretty alarming. And then...]

Rosinante, General Hughes, and I went searching for the downtown area some had seen in their dreams, following the map that was created. We found it, but we found something else as well.

[Faint in the background is music, it sounds like they might be being pursued by a marching band. There's also hooting, hollering and sounds of general shenanigans in the distance.]

There is a group of forest spirits in some sort of a parade. They are heading towards town. We are trying to get back ahead of them, but if we do not, something is wrong about this. There's a sense of ... wanting to follow them.

Stay wary.

What about ripping its mechanical heart out? Does that usually mean it's defeated?

I prefer spines, but I appreciate the thoroughness.

It sounds like you're well on your way to being able to fight gods as is. What makes you think you're unprepared?

[He's level 5, Kuai.]

I got killed trying to save my friends from a bunch of slavers.

[What he doesn't say: I knocked myself out and then got myself killed trying to save my friends from a bunch of slavers.] I'm a very confident person, but that was a bit of a blow. And I'm not too proud to admit I'm a bit squishy.

[Everyone starts somewhere. The smallest stone can change the course of a river and other such uplifting aphorisms. He's full of them!]

You don't need to be on the frontlines to be effective.

But I see your point. Unfortunately there's no real training to be done to fight a god when we don't yet know its power nor its fighting strategy.

[Other than eating all the light.]

Might need to interrogate Robin about that at some point. She seems like she's the expert.

[paletteswap]

Assuming she tells us the truth.

It's also hard to interrogate someone via phone calls.

[mollymocked]

It's not like we have any other options.

[paletteswap]

A valid point.

In any case, should we learn more on the way back to town I'll be sure to share that information. The more we know the better we can work together.
