She talks to a local child who reveals some interesting information.

It could be nice to meet them.

So the great journey begins.

two posts in and the koala is joining the local mafia (no doubt associated with the larger iron mining conglomerates that are currently destroying the great barrier reef thanks to decades of lax regulatory oversight at the hands the the liberal government).

and they say money doesn't grow on trees. . .

Chapter 4: The Case of The Lying Goblin

Smustu Sinfulexits? but I thought the goblin was called Dang...
Well anyway, it's too late to worry about all that we've reached Skinbathed where her son is supposed to live. His name is Udi Faithfulcalm.

In the morning Ases asks Dang a question.

We head to the local guildhall where Ases performs a lengthier interrogation.

But you serve me, right? Then we head into the centre of the hamlet.

A child! And if I take it, it will forever be in my debt.

No problem little guy. Now how can you serve me

It's a deal. Wait, a goblin in Skinbathed... I wonder if...


Guilty as charged. Her child might not be as smart. But Dang/Smunstu may be useful.

Chapter 5: In Which Smunstu Drowns in a River
We make our way even further north to another hamlet.

And then Ases goes to the river for a drink and then has a splash around. She swims about a bit and Smunstu follows. Ases then gets out and walks north. Smunstu does not follow.

Oh, dear. It appears Smunstu has drowned.

Udi is not happy.
Eventually, we head to the tavern.

More borin conversation.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Going to find that group too.
Ases turns in for the night and in the morning we consider our options.
