Criminal Activity

The gang, minus Pusish, embarked on the treacherous path of even and odd tiles. Along the way, they encountered a barrage of magical effects and unpredictable abilities. Acid rain poured here, and vexing disturbances disrupted their progress there. Despite the challenges, Alfie managed to navigate his way to the central podium. Meanwhile, Pusish returned and joined the group, witnessing the chaos unfolding before him. Intrigued and undeterred, he walked straight onto the tiles, only to suddenly transform into a potted plant, much like his companions before him. Finally breaking free from his petrified state, Arnie led the way for the rest of the party towards the center. Just as he was about to formulate a plan, he was abruptly struck by a disturbing vision. This dark glimpse depicted Arneus in a sinister place, committing unspeakable acts. Shaking off the haunting vision, Aero regained his eyesight, a welcome relief for the group. Drawing closer to the center, a swirling vortex of red and black materialized around the rectangular podium, where Alfie was trapped. Imprisoned within, Alfie was forced to listen to the voice of Malum, who tempted him with the destructive power of his unbridled rage, seeking his allegiance. Engaging in a tense exchange, Alfie and Malum sparred verbally while Arneus desperately tried to breach the impenetrable vortex to no avail. Before departing, Malum left Alfie with a parting gift—a belt adorned with intricate carvings and made of white fur.   Almost tempted to leave, the party was convinced otherwise by Alfie and Arnie, recognizing that the missing children must be somewhere within the vicinity. Strapping the enigmatic belt around his waist, Alfie returned to the central podium and shattered it, revealing a concealed twisting mechanism. Through careful observation and teamwork, the group deciphered that all five mechanisms needed to be twisted simultaneously and in specific ways to open a massive stone door.   With Alfie taking the lead, they descended into a basement-like section hidden beneath the tiles, where they discovered the remaining missing children. The surge of rage coursed through Alfie, but this time, he was struck by a vision of galloping through expansive fields as a powerful beast. In a display of astonishing strength, he effortlessly tore the chains and shackles from the walls as if they were mere fabric. The group swiftly gathered the children, regaining their composure, and made their way back to the hospital. Outside the medical facility, numerous groups of anxious parents eagerly awaited the return of their beloved missing children, their faces etched with hope and relief.
