Sara leaves the store to look for some form of map. Hopefully there will be a label for a police station, game shop, a dungeon, or at least a Roman numeral with a circle around it.

Joe Joseph and Donny DiBorgo
Donny asks the guy behind the counter about a Dungeon Queen.
"No idea man. Some kind of a riddle, maybe?"

Ted Thompson and Lily LaBlanc
Ted flips his phone open to check the map. Map's still there, but there aren't any markers or anything to help.
Lily decides to ask the person behind the counter, but they just shrug and give a quizzical expression.

Ross Roosevelt and Dylan Daehler
Ross inquires about the Reapers.
"Doesn't ring a bell, bro. Sorry. Sounds like a wicked band name, though."
Dylan can't find find anything within their current budget.

Roésse Radde and Sara Sarowski
Roésse and Sara head out of the shop, and notice a strange, glowing sigil floating in the air, not too far from them. They get the eerie feeling that more monsters are nearby.
They look around for some kind of map, but there aren't any immediately in eyes' view. There's a map app on their phones that list the different sections of downtown, but none of them are labelled.

"I honestly have no clue, I don't know the area so It isn't like I can tell what it means if it refers to a location. Why don't we just head toward the place we headed to before, and see what happens."

Head to the northern heights if Ted is okay with that

"Okay, shit uh... well do you know where this thing called "the dungeon queen" is?"

(1) You start forward with determination and certainty. You carry this determination with you right into the gaping crater that opens under your feet. You fall into a pit. The sounds of combat above dim, along with the light from the suns. In the quiet below, you hear some other noises instead.

"Figured...

Dungeon... Is there a subway station anywhere nearby? Maybe that's the "dungeon" the text is referring to?"


EDIT:

((Forgot action))
Try to use phone to look for anything like that

"The Dungeon Queen might be at a card or game shop. You know of any?"

Check if anything outside down the street stands out, and if my phone has any useful apps to help. If not, head to Zone 4 with Lily and look towards Northern Heights to see if anything catches my attention.

Roésse had a small idea. She knew that, whatever this distorted dungeon naturally was, or whoever owned it, it probably was currently a dungeon. So she opened her map app and said "Dungeon". Nothing happened, but then again, she was expecting it, anyway. Their goal was to fight the queen, not to steal her crown or anything.
Then, she had a legitimate idea; she'd type up Dungeon in her phone's map app, hit search, then Queen as a separate term, search again, then Dungeon Queen, and one more search. Chances are, the place may have one of those words in it's name.

Work on a potential forum game for my return to Bay12. Figure out parts that puzzled me before. Find more things to figure out that I can't. Work on another game instead of solving them. Get distracted and stop working. Remember it a week or two later. Remember I'm still on hiatus. Illogically, Be too ashamed to return yet. Repeat ad nauseam.

Finally have a game completely ready. Wait a week before posting it out of laziness.

Joe Joseph and Donny DiBorgo
Joe takes out his phone and opens the map app, putting "subway" into the search engine.
There's a West Subway Station in section XI, and East Subway Station in section VII. The East side would be a good 10 minute jog away.

Ted Thompson and Lily LaBlanc
Ted and Lily leave the coffee shop, and notice a floating sigil in the air that sends chills down their spines.
Ted looks around the immediate area, but this is the only building with a marking here. Everything else just carries on. His map isn't helping at all.
They keep their distance from the odd sigil and head to the main boulevard, but a blue forcefield erupts before, blocking their path. Can't go that way right now, it seems.

Ross Roosevelt and Dylan Daehler
Ross asks about the Dungeon Queen.
"You must know some really underground bands, bro. I've never heard of that."

Roésse Radde and Sara Sarowski
Roésse uses the search function on the map app.
Dungeon: nothing.
Queen: nothing.
Dungeon Queen: still nothing.
Not that blatant, apparently.

The sigil nearby starts to float slowly towards the pair.

"Hmm. Maybe the city is the dungeon and the Queen is at the end."

Try to go to Zone XI.

"Eh, that sigil has to mean SOMETHING, right? Might be hostile, might be a clue, might be an upgrade." Try a Sweeper on the sigil. If I can't do a Sweeper yet, do it as soon as those noisy things pop out of it, if they do.

Joe Joseph and Donny DiBorgo
Joe and Donny book it out of the cafe. The see a bizarre, floating sigil in the air that seems to watch them as they run.
They head east, and pass by some store with a tag on it called "Sound Bytes". Who named the shit in this town, anyway?
There's another sigil here, too. Not much farther to the station.

Ted Thompson and Lily LaBlanc
Ted and Lily scratch their heads at the wall, and head the other way.
They leave the coffee house behind and head up the street. They're passing the Westside Subway Station now.
There's another floating sigil here, too. Maybe they're just everywhere?

Ross Roosevelt and Dylan Daehler
Ross and Dylan listen to the chill store music. It's pretty dope.

Roésse Radde and Sara Sarowski
Roésse observes the sigil as it flashes brightly, and a pair of silver wolves pour out!

[3]She quickly clasps her hands together, and the wolves fall into the imminent vortex.

[Sara can still act before the Noise can]

Noise:
Wolf 1: Unharmed
Wolf 2: Unharmed
