STATIC 41: New Carydam Contract Work
General Summary
Wherein the Blinkertons solve one problem and attend to another
From the Swallows to the City
From the shadows, The Interdimensional Blinkerton Detective Agency unleashed their ambush on the Bloodwallow Boys, taking these would be Swallows poachers by surprise. Despite that, the Boys proved to be formidable opponents as battle was joined. Eventually, though, our gumshoes prevailed and dispatched these Boys, collecting proof of their demise in the form of a ring and collected notebooks about their "hunts." So armed, they returned to New Carydam, No Future, and a grateful Froggi, who rewarded them with 3000 gold for their efforts. Soon after, Messelum came calling. He informed them that Rare Zoramar and New Carydam have decided that The Concern cannot be allowed to murder our brave Blinkertons, not when they are solving The Displacement. To aid in protection efforts, they've contracted a security firm known as The Night Watch to provide support to ensure that the Blinkertons can focus their attention on the task of ending this phenomenon. Panopticon will work with Scruzz to make sure No Future operates in safety. Or in as much safety as is currently possible, given the state of the city. On that note, Messelum mentioned that he had a job for them. He needs them to seek out Auntie Effie Snaildangler. Apparently, the curator of Glass Gardens is also at work on the Displacement mystery, but she hasn't reported back to Messelum in a while and is refusing to see him. He would like our detectives to figure out what's going on and will pay them 1000 gold for their efforts. Our heroes readily agreed. He mentioned that Auntie Effie likes tea, and it might be wise to bring a gift from Abahzarib’s Teashop in Tronksburg. On the way to do just that, the Blinkies were set upon by a rogue Plasma Golem, seemingly from the future. Whatever its provenance, it was dispatched and our heroes took an opportunity to catch their breath before undertaking more travel in this chaotic city.And That's Where We Left It
