The DUNKER nods approvingly.

Seems fitting. Anyhow, what're you doing by this sewer?

"I... So, you can just do all these things without effort? And, I don't mean to demean your work in any way, but isn't there a problem with that plan? What happens if they start casting spells again?"
Eta decided to keep her opinion to herself, given that the man could probably do the same to her... If he wasn't a crazy lier.

"Waiting for my best friend, you know. The usual."

"Not without effort, of course! If it was effortless, it wouldn't be so cool when it works. It's work that needs attention, skill and dedication, you know? It's a bit easier if I take people into myself first, of course, but still, it takes a bit of time to plan it out, gather information, ensure the exchange, explain the situation to the lucky old buggers who got out, make sure I didn't mess anything up along the way, rip out all the magic from their souls, that sort of thing. Each step isn't overly difficult, of course, but you have to make it all come together properly, you know?"

What's he doing?

"Spelunking's a good word for it, I think."

"Hey robot-thing, got a pen and paper I can borrow?"

The robot-thing looks at you for a moment.

"Yeah," it says sadly in a feminine voice, retrieving a silvery pen and a bit of technical-looking paper. "Here you go, sir."

Larry gives the thing a raised eyebrow before turning to the note.

Quote
Hey guy,

Sorry I couldn't stay for pancakes.  Can you give me a call?  I have an opportunity for you.

Thanks,
Larry

Larry wrote his cell phone number at the bottom, then handing the pen back to the robot.

"Thanks, bot."

He headed upstairs and stuck the note under the door.

"Yo, Menkau!" John yells towards the top of the manhole "There's just too much shit and too little space here. I'm coming back up, we need a new plan."

Climb back up. Ask Menkau if this is really the only way or if he has anything that could help me reach the leyline safely.

What for?

"Treasure, I believe!"

"Yo, Menkau!" John yells towards the top of the manhole "There's just too much shit and too little space here. I'm coming back up, we need a new plan."

Climb back up. Ask Menkau if this is really the only way or if he has anything that could help me reach the leyline safely.

You climb out, your left sleeve and pants stained quite a lot with disgusting sewage, and the first thing you see is that Menkau and James appear to have found new friends. Eight new friends, to be exact, from varying walks of life.

"Ah, John! The hunt isn't going very well, is it?"

You notice that Menkau is a tad... shrouded, to the degree that his nature is not at all immediately apparent to any onlookers.

John looks at the gathered people "Uh, good day to you all."

He turns to Menkau

"Yeah, I couldn't really get anywhere. It's pitch black, there's no room to manoevre and it's rather hard to breathe. You know, because it's a sewer. Do you have any suggestions? An alternate route, maybe?"

"Maybe try your magazine! It should eventually produce something useful for your endeavor, provided you stick with it, of course!"

"Good day!" Eta responds cheerfully.

"I could dig for it, if you could tell me where your treasure is. And if you don't mind a few blue skeletons. Hidden treasure in the middle of the city would make for a great story."

"Yeah, probably worth a shot"

"Good day!" Eta responds cheerfully.

"I could dig for it, if you could tell me where your treasure is. And if you don't mind a few blue skeletons. Hidden treasure in the middle of the city would make for a great story."
"I'm sorry, who are you again?"

Read magazine! Recieve wonderful new spells!
