TONIGHT on the HTML Wanderpus: Returning to the Dragon Lawyers to ask for aid with the Librarian, the crew uncover an unsettling mystery!


In dragon place

Officer Jaoquin patagon, krieg and akhana juris, set up a meeting with the council for the crew When the delegation will show up, btw how was the wedding, Joa fun, greatful for our dleegation
you wound me dear juris Jur- since I respented you previously, absurdly unethincal for me to, had to recuse myslef days ago, Im here to watch the fireworks, but of course, try to ease on the literal fireworks Those roman candles are expresely forbidden, someone

busy bustinling town, same maps as last time, as you walk, get nods, pass criags --/ Kriegs at market square, get the falafells, tons of money at the flagship location, Juris - even someone of my stature has to make reservations Criag is in the academy now, aiming to become crew member, - inter, recruit, rookie, ensign, cadet, pass the museum, it starts... 1. Akhana.. you feel something in the back of your head pulling you towards the museum, but also notice new guards, no longer little frog dudes, you and ella knocked them out violenetly, but now full armor, really tough and mean.. Juris, has no idea why the musuem robbery guard - you guys talking about the reedi wedding? you see the halfing spreading falafells, omg youre the lizard that wanted to fuck the dragon! *and I did! wink! Council Members Gaius , Quintus, Jennifer, Titus We do agree the Librarian is problems that face the liminal plane are not the same problems that face us, if anything happens to your word tree, everything is fine, it has no writing of us Gaius: main question - eyes turn to juris, would you mind showing we only have two chairs, joauquin and one other in this meeting and showing the other two around the city as you have to recuse youseself, Juri - Ofcourse, I know one is deeply invested in market square, Jo - one moment please, team huddle, me personally, really like akhana and someone else to recon and gather something they'd be suited for, we're not looking to blackmail or put under durress, but we want leverage and pressure for our case.
Akhana, idk if I can find that info here, Jo - stategy of the dept, with the absense of the information of connected word trees, I will argue that their anynimty and viel of secrecy is not somehting the librarian can't penetrate, especially if the neighboring realm is drawn into void and choas. Patag - yea lets find an angle and common ground, i do have the quill i was attacked with, idk if its the physical eveidence for our case.. also I just started walking around... (Ohhh that's right, Patagon got injected with the Librarian's ink. I'm sure that'll be fine) Use case librarian will not be satisifed with the stories of liminal, it will find the area and attack them too This hinter realm, they rely on us for secrecy, nonwithsstanding interconnected impact of our absence. Learn about their defenses, do some pen testing, white hat work, Penetration Testing - pen testing
jennifer all neck dragon, 99% neck, leans close to patagon, hello little friends, need any refreshments Juris before you leave, some water, bordeaoux for joauquin, yes I'll see if there's some in the back,
gaius and quinn snickering at how juris is being ordered around for menial work, clear hazing,
akhana notices as a spy, Jennifer hates Titus, HATES them, - tells joaquin omg look at that sideeye shit, whole shade tree over there


Split up, Juris takes krieg and akhana to kriegs at market square akhana starts a murmuring campaign that the owner is here the line doubles, people from yoke, fast! more worpletingers, this place is gonna go banas very quickly! understaffed suddenly!! Krieg offers jobs to suppor the rush
Patagon in his ear just hearing KREIGS AT MARKET SQUARE LUL sniksnak gets out of line, HELLO!!! I'll be your chef today! high fives everywhere!! flamingoes behind him,

akhana's aura is clearly in a contract debate with someone, Juris has that type of law privelege, Juris - is everything alright? Yea OKay... have you taken any odd jobs recently? signed papers? a very large cool scythe ended up in my lap, trying to convince me to do things, how can you even tell? shrinkwrap contract issue? whaat I'd notice if there was plastic wrap on me take something means accept contract even if the terms are after any idea who? hahah no, no clue, some spooky when I'm streesed out, know anything about the infitinity tree? Juris knows - most precious relic (don't know it was stolen, is a branch of th einfitiny tree and the city has a golden pen, that will write things into law.. *pinches nose, A - did I do something wrong, I needed the scythe to get out J - may not be something wrong yet, emphasis on yet.

rhino guy in line - I recognize that uniform! you threw me in a river to die! pushes krieg out of the chair, trying to start a fight. Juris stands up and says Are you accusing my client of a crime? I'm accussing all of them of a crime! J - I'm sure you have evidence?! 23ds.39.01 - interested if you have jurisdiction D.S. is short for Draconic Statute, for the record. so Volume 23 of the Draconic Statute is probably the criminal code?] K - sounds like you've had a bad day
Jennifer -- darling, you haven't touched your water... to patagon P - sorry, there's a lot going n today..
not4ginv had item to change what is written and making it permanent, and that's what these dragons do - not being hunted by space cops tstarlight, ACAB, retconned htmlw on their radar, tweak of the nose at authority - titus gravelly truckloader of stones pouring into a quarry - and besides, if we werer to get in volved, what makes you think you could protect us from this librarian?? Jo - as I understand it, you understand the threat the Libraran pose Titus We understand great threat to this world, and we are not existing in this world, we can leave whenever -- and they can, the entire city are not actually connected to this world the way the rest is, they can bounce... ) I understand you've already lost two fights? one here that's been gravely wounded.. any insights how to fight them? patagon? P - we have learned valuable information on his tactics, pulls out quill, this here is what almost mortally wounded me in the previous battle, if you'd like to inspect it. Jennifer - elongates neck high, picks up rapier sized feather, librarin used it as a sword, this is a copy of his original but still potent. Jo - show of good faith, d20 for Quet's analysising the quill - 6 - tough choice, could have learned somehting bu thte way you did hurt, next time you - there will be a negative effect, but you'll be able to give the crew a good amount information -- or you didn't go far enough and learn about it... "sure," - problem in the future, appreciated! Card for additional evidence - This wquill, anything you write down doesn't write - but write backwards over it, it will erase anything written, can erase text with this and write down perfect copies, must erase something first... - promise more useful than it sounds... Jo - to the council, as a show of good faith, jennifer please maintain custody of this artifact, and whatever you can use it for your defenses, happy to allow you access to it.. the council clearly recognizes something about the quill... Jo - 11 - council glances, looks at a small box up top, deus ex captaina Gaius, and this is what wounded you Patagon? P - yes, quite painful, put me in a coma for quite some time.. G - I'm trying... Nat 20 - patagon -- info!! Patagon had vivid dreams in their coma.. In this room, being questioned by these interdimensional creatures - you've lived every single life that was in the library, every single one, you can't always remember them perfectly, but they'll give you a hand when you want, if you dont know A MENTAL SWITCHBOARD patch you through thousands of personalities! That's a confident penguin! In planes, many lives, only have one in my descriptions, playing through time and space and other worlds, he draing hundreds of other worlds, their stories are in you!! Twylark : [ Who better to operate their own Mental Switchboard!!! UUUUGHGHHGHGHGHGG!! ] Septarius : [ Yeahhhhhhh *puts on sunglasses ] not everyday you see a mental pen that's also a sword Jo - again the relic is yours, feel free to examine at your leisure. Juris -

pretty positive they poisoned me and then pushed me off a bridge onto krieg - customer service voice Castle doctrine, snik snak hits rhinos with frying pan "You insult Snik Snak's cooking!? I make rhino steaks!" Juris - I'll start a formal settlement offering later, but That'd sounds like admitting wrong-doing lets handle that other legal issue i spotted, the mystery contract..

KRieg, 1 - body guards, feels so good, all your money is nonfungible, can't touch it! We know krieg is losing a lot of money to involving cryptobro, I never aw a rhino get assualted at Craig's at Market Square... IRL bankruptcy specialty!

In hallway to museum, akhana has been here before, walkin in like you own it, cuz you robbed it, there's no traps now, this is during normal operating hours..
all familiar our artwork but dragon-esque, abstracts feel like they talk to you, no one can agree what color they are, what kind of paint? Juris - good question, you guess is as good as mine, never got into art law
akhahna spyglasses - 13, picture moves a lot, little owl guy staring back at you, you feel him staring at you.. it sees you and you see him, The harbinger - Alan's strange creatures - seem to be the Fae of the universe, peopl strike details with them, (so polarizing,
everyone sees the owl creature step out of the portrait, the dragon lawyers do not associate with the harbingers very often, K - anyone else.... J - yes wasn't just me H 0 sweeps everyone with his eyes, Hello, You weren't supposed to look that closely, A - this dude may be connected to scythe i was talking about, J - respectful bow, good evening, just have to check, who I'll be negotiating with you or your associates? I'm here on a contractural matter. The harbinger - I'm not connected to that scythe, you struck a deal with the wrong tree, not you, you struck deals with everyone and its all gonna blow up in your face terribly! J - You wish to negotiate with a tree?! A - if there's a contract it could be negotiated! What Fine, sold, I'll open the door Name - W'ere the harbingers! J - oooohh, right...
A - slap a tracker on the H, fuck aroudn and find out, covert obviously, 3! Akhana dissappears and now standing in front of infinity tree, feel its pressure so hard, in split second relive your entire life and then again and again and again and again, J - I'm sorry, I thought I'd be allowed into the negotiations, and ---- suddenly akhana is in front of you... dont remember what you were just saying A - oh don't worry, he opened the door, it's this way down the hall K - that's not akhana's voice! ...
around akhana, you feel the tension here too, the tension of like spring about to snap back, near rifts, you keep feeling the recurring things, see some branches pulled to the ground, looks like thrown at the ground, and hit the ground like metoer , looks like souls escaping into the aether, all creatures, moths, octo, centaurs, everything floats out these branches, you hear again, "SUBMIT, DO MY BIDDING, I WONT ASK NICELY AGAIN." The scythe appears in Akhana's hand.
100% not akhana's body language, everyonce in a awhil looks like she has a third leg..
council chambers
Gaius - I don't really want to leave the liminal plane, what'd make me stay here - if my villa was a little warmer in the winter, can't keep a fire going permanently, get the sun to hit my building in the right spot. Titus - I don't even want to be in politics 0 eating cereal Reedi's Puffs natural, my passion, can i show you something?.. lil wooden widdled soldier, not bad, just not refined, if I had time, I'd be a scupltor, if i could get my hands on superb wood, I think I could do something great, I'd quit this altogether! P - that's great! really have a talent right there! you think so? P Absolutely! So great to hear
PerCurios Titus cereal Jennifer - she wants titus off the council, if you get him off, she'll vote however you want to P -on comms - we have a side quest for some wood K - huh, akhana just dropped some off
Lunch - business lunch Jo - either hummus or charcutes of hummus Pata - gyro, but not kriegs, heard there was an assault there - Sharkuterie, but not so smelly would be nice.

crew mostly in line, very secret mission and sub and airship not allowed in unmaed dragon lawyer city - DLC if you will.. Adjourn for an hour, come back from -
Joa needs good wood, hear people complaingin about K at MS, "it's really gone under" Jo - what in the blazes has happened here? Seems to be centered on that Krieg of MS? Down with Krieg! KRIEG AT MARKET SQUARE, P - normally protestation Justice for Bridge, Justice #BridgeGate #moat


Akahan - could submit, nah. 8 tought choice - force of will out of this, no APleft though, to not take it, the scythe will be cllutched in both your hands and burn your palms, 2 dmg, you'll stand up to the tree, but hurts you trying to do what it wants -- you feel a seering pain, fireflies come out - Akhana's right infront of you,
7 Juris, can you recognize the contract is glowing on the new akhana? but as soon as you recognize the 'game' is up, so you play along K - The real one is not here and that one is stronger than me J - do we need more info or end this farce now? K we need to get through the door, but where are we now?
Door - wood panel with tons of images, Juris had a 1 in art, but these are panels from many different word trees, not moving, not like catoris' tapestries embrodiers, they are scenes of worlds. fake Akahana, okay here it is. K - where's the door knob? FA - they knock on particular door panels in a pattern - could try to follow it, hallway between worlds opens up, "You might want to hurry, I think I'm in danger, and then falls apart, K - tries to offer a business card, card vanishes from the hand -- The captain is billed for everytihing J - i should have asked for a larger retainer... K you can keep up right? we can grab you and run faster! J 0 no I'm gonna try,

Krieg, Squishy, Juris, now also infront of the inifinity tree! Tough choice, go background or get entangled in root vines out of the ground?
Juris - like I said, I'm here to assist contract negotiations! so it's my understanding you've completed a shrink wrap contract with an officer with my client the tension feels different confused tree, juris continues Sir Tree for lack of phrase if not your preferreed language. you may not have been aware that akhana was already under contract! let's mediate out while we're all here.
Krieg would lick it Patagon hears all this, relays knowledge to joaquin to know what's going on, Jo - They're what? they're doing what? gimme a moment... P - good point, where... pffft,,, i knew musuem, not sure which hallways though... Jo - I don't know if that'd be productive, we need to be back in council within the hour... P - and we need lumber.. don't want to leave them hanging,
inifinity tree lumber would be primo tho, just saying, it'd grow back! the scythe is an invitation and patagon has a chainsaw

important tree - Word Trees Very special proto word treee in the swamp Guardian forest with trees in the worlple forest we all know abou ttastu tree growing in vatna's bathtub!
All good options, how long of a recess? Let's see if the crew can
Liminal Word Trees, Swamp Proto Tree, Worpletinger Forest, or Vatna's Wet Room
proto tree lamost, was for transportation for faieires to get in and out, get a trimming of it without causing additional problems, lol will you? pfffft def on a diff continent,

KRIEG licks the roots that hold him tight!!! HOW GO BROKE OR HOW DIE Krieg you see yourself back to floor, shirt ripped ope, someone going through your pockets, reaching grabbinb lil stuff, see your gem in their hand, lil feathery mitt, they stare through - thanks boss, nice working for ya! then barrel of a gun to the tempole of your forehead, and "Thanks boss, was nice working for ya" tastes like regret, and blooad sausage and kale
akhana also see's Krieg's death QUACKERS!!! The duck you got arrested! "Do you want to watch more of your friends suffer? just listen to me... Juris - hears the voice, you've enetered THE ARBIRTRATION! AGAIN!! these contracts are binding, I don't see why you don't see someone else's contracts are just as binding.. (2) (18) Akhana, echoes in her mind versions of "I only take orders from the captain, only do the captains Krieg and juris are let go the contract is written in the scythe, Juris reads it super fast, language loopholes, akhana give spyglasses to read
Juris Nat 20, knows exactly how to get her out of the contract!! squishy helps too nudges Juris, all you must do is abodaon this scythe - abondaon the halft of the scythe, just pop the blade off! Juris - alrught, perhaps the solution here is to take Half a Loaf, Akhnan, you need the blade, and that should suffice here! (Drop the handle, take the blade!) make sure the contract is no longer biding, don't accept the HOLD of the shrinkwrpa, then null and void.
CHEW IT! tongue and teeth! cut of the blade of it, but didn't bring Patagon with his chainsaw underneath his cape lol, you can make attacks on it, but yea tree is not gonna be happy
Akhana, new legendary, you know you can do it! Akhana can slice reality and step through, reach out and borrow chainsaw, Patagonjust holds out his chainsaw for a second, portal and akhanas hand through, P - okay, treat her well! no seeds here,
would krieg touch the wood again, you felt your death, you'll have to live through that again, so he pisses on it, we'll leave it so squishy between us all, and know how Tea is not in this game right now, but she is seeing some shit!!seeing your
Help is on the Way! played -- WHO?!?!!? vatna jumped in.... peeing on the tree, portals appear in water, when you anger something at the Banish... Juris been in the aether before? prolly not! Weird day for you! Juris got us out, and you just put him into somewhere else!
Patagon - has a lock on their location, but in the middle of space, the four of you bouncing in a hallway, everytime you touch the side, it burns the shit out of you cuz you don't have the suits on! hurts like hell Patagon relays info to Vatna, Not sure how Messing with secrets again Can't charge hazard pay, long term
hilt left behind at the infiinty tree crew going to worlple tinger forest
A - scapels through hallways with blade of scythe V - I heard you speaking of secrets, I had to see what they were, K - i dont think the inifity tree like that I piss ed on it J 0 this is all privieleged all privelegeed K - leans in closer "tastes like regret!"
Crew - 20 AsparaGus - guardian, huge worlpletingers the scythe's hilt was left ot the foot of the infity tree (not word tree) both HAHA hello friends! Tsoki and Midnight and Caram, expleian they find a tree that has been repurposed, all the trees moved here, trees carved with viking runes all the way to the top, grabs a branch glowing silver, like light that tsoki has, Gus Is this fine? Beautiful log, but gus consider a stick
Juris's homeworld -- Take a right there, and a slight left, and make sure to keep under that thing, and that looks like it's it.. Vatna following Juris's orders while sewing up his robes, Do you know the best tailor, introducing profwinter to prof winter, while prof *referring to Marcus Burnhardt


before popping back into the council Kreig - bridge building, chance for deus ex machin for 6ap to not lose all my money.... well protected shell company, single asset real estate, and bobert loses more face than he already ahd all the peope that were down with krieg, justice for bridge, now blaming the flamingo waiters, when they see them, they think bobert casino and spa, oh no bobert is tryingt destroy kriegs at MS, and then yelling GET HIM, so the flamingoes are being chased out of the scity snisk snak on charges for assault def vibe of rquick mob mentality throughout, in the 'they're the only flamingoes here' way .... ..
Closing arguments Jo - we reiterate, the existwential threat to all the realms, willingness to kidnap transform maniacle pursuit, ollective lives, worlds, narratives to be archived by this person, must I understand the 2:47:50 (take a clip the spot before this, puts into context they will penetrate your clouds...
FANTASTIC CLOSING! Titus clutches - I will recuse myself as well, but I aske the council to please stay and help the liminal play, A speech beautiful B, Jennifer, this is your last? let this be my first vote I ever side with Titus,
J enn - it is time we stop fleeing from world to world, and this may well be the homefor us, with such pride of Joaquin, such brave in danger patagon, faced down interdimensional creature on his own. and won trust in our dear friend Juris, then I say we also vote to stay, IT GETS PAST!!! Juris sign it into law?! motion to the golden pen! Ju - only appropriate, I'm gad you reached this decision, if I may make a sugggestion, given this and existential threat, probably need someone to have regular contact to the crew and captain, perhaps I could act as the council's eyes and ears in a different manner, a closer relationship with the captain, with billable hours as needed of course, to be proper.
Most cettainly, Direct contact between us and HTML crew! The DLC shall be hendceforth shall be on the Liminal Plane, and we will do whatever in our power to
krieg convinced the council that it was the flamingoes, that's how retirement party for titus

Patagon's new "Ability" During "Tongue and Teeth"
Had a flashback to his coma where he realized that he can reach into the vast lives and worlds that the Librarian erased. And can be aware/assume of the persona/personallities.
Can't fully control this to do this at will but in certain situations he can become aware of it.
Will stay fully in control of his own mind.
