Extracting dietary patterns using machine learning.

But machines don't eat! What have they been teaching you?!

Sad and feeling rejected for reasons he couldn't quite place, Abu tried to distract himself. Hey, that sign looked fairly important.

Steal sign, then onward to the village.

Spoiler: Abu Hajaar (click to show/hide)

Name: Ventriloquist extraordinaire Abu Hajaar

Description: A scrawny enlistee of vaguely Middle Eastern descent. Permanently in over his head, slightly confused and wondering just how he got into this mess. Will reluctantly but reliably follow orders from his commanding officers and do his best however.

Somehow managed to end up far away from home in 'Nam to fight the commies. This left him confused. Then he got teleported to this world of mystery and magic. This did not help matters.

Roncal Roth _{^{Map Legend}}

This is no more a PvP game than Einsteinian Roulette, all player-on-player deaths have been accidental.  Anyway, let's follow the magical femur brick road.  Make sure not to stray off the path, I guess.

Spoiler: Corven Feathra (click to show/hide)

Gang: Roncal Roth
Health: Fine!
Tattoos: Eyes tattoo'd with 8-strength "Repair AffectUser"
Inventory:

• A slaver rifle, with lots of bullets
• A neato revolver
• A concealed knife.
• A Roncal Roth crow uniform, armored with metal plates and thick leather.  Provides fire resistance, acid resistance, and a passive +2 endurance vs. gasses and dusts.
• Some decently-sized pebbles he picked up somewhere, for throwing and enchanting.
• Rope, collapsible pole, first aid kit, climbing equipment, general adventurer gear.
• A pouch of firebombs.
• A heavy block of enchantable steel.
• Corpses of weird bird-things killed in the Unreal.  One of which Corven is wearing as a hat.

Description: An older man past his prime, Corven still carries himself with the intimidating aura you'd expect from a crime boss... except when he's dealing with his daughter, who he's completely incapable of saying "No" to.  That usually works out better than you'd expect, since he managed to get her the formal education he never had, though he still has wisdom on her.  Has something of an unhealthy obsession with birds, though not nearly as much so as his daughter.

• 12 rifles (4 given to members; 8 equipped on slaves who may or may not be alive)
• LOTS of nonmagical rifle rounds, most carried by slaves who may or may not be alive.
• A revolver for eveyone in the gang.
• Six knives, one for each member, Sarge, who gets two.
• Twelve bloodied slaver uniforms... left with the slaves, unless someone wants one for some reason.
• Six corvid themed gang uniforms, made of silk and armored with metal plates along with thick leather.  Four of the six outfits are distributed among the team members.  They include gas masks styled like plague doctor beaks, which grant a passive +2 to endurance die size vs airborne contaminants.  Additionally, they are highly fire-resistant, with acid-resistant coatings.
  
• Bandages and tourniquets, distributed among the gang members.
• Full adventurer kit (think ropes, climbing gear, collapsible poles, etc) for each gang member.
• A pouch of explosive firebombs for each gang member.
• Solid blocks of enchantable steel, one for each gang member.

You both walk over to the village. The village is only a few structures big, maybe a dozen little homes made from bones. They're rather macabre in material but their actual designs are quite simple and even a bit cute, with steep roofs, many small windows and rounded doors. All the little homes are gathered along the road, which ends just beyond them.  As you walk into the village you notice a skeleton sitting on top of one of the homes, kicking his legs and rocking back and forth as though to unheard music.  He notices you at the same time and waves.  He looks like a normal human skeleton, normal size, normal shape, totally normal except for the fact that he's a moving skeleton. You hear what sounds xylophone music and several more skeletons peek their heads out through doors and windows, scanning eye sockets around until they're aimed in your direction.  Their teeth chatter.

[piecewise]

Move up to the outside of the 3x2 room to the left of the lobby. peek through any windows I find. I am taking note both of the apparent strength of the window structures, and of the general situation inside - activity, state of repair, dust, lighting conditions, amount of clutter, life forms, the appearance of magic ...

You walk over to the nearest window left of the main entrance and shove the drape covering it to the side. You can see a small room inside; an office by the look of it. Wood paneled walls, mahogany desk, large chairs, shelf of books along one wall. Must have been for a high ranking member of the bank staff. Its unlit and clearly very dusty but seems to be in a good condition, as though it was abandoned a long while ago but never messed with. The door out of the room is closed.

Open the second door from the side in case of traps.  If it doesn't blow up, move into the next room, into the southwest corner of the next room.  Keep my shotgun out, looking for anyone visible.  Have the tiger come with me.

All three of you press forward into the next room. Its much larger than the room before and filled with desks running in rows down the length of the room. The ceiling above is the inside of the bronze dome and is inscribed with intricate scenes from the Unspoken Word, the major religion around here. Its faceless angels draped in flowing cloth visit judgement upon the faithless and bounty on the faithful. A common scene. Its difficult to see because of how dark it is; the only light is from outside and even then its very dull; just what can make it past the drape.

The walls are painted a dark green with equally dark red pillars embedded half in the wall and half out of it. The place is dead quiet and very dusty, each step bringing up plumes of fine gray dust that hangs in the air, swirling very slowly, standing out in sharp contrast in the few sunrays that can filter in past the drape.  It smells of dust and cold and mortar and wood. There are three exits, not counting the door you came in through. Iron Brian saunters over to the one on the far side, a brass thing with decorative, deep square divots down its length. It has a recessed half moon that seems to function as the handle, but when he pulls on it, nothing happens.

Wave to the skeletons, and greet them in a friendly tone.  Announce that we're here in search of magic, or perhaps information about what's going on deeper inside the Unreal.  Have any skeletons seen a giant metal worm tunneling around nearby?

Be friendly, but stay cautious.  Don't let the skeletons touch any of us, and make sure everyone's still roped together.  Also, run fingers along one of the home's walls.  Maybe it'll give words or something.

You wave at the skeletons. They all wave back. In unison.  The ones in their homes start wandering out to greet you and the one on the roof jumps down. He hits the ground and scatters into pieces before reforming a moment later. You greet them and they nod, apparently mute. You tell them your intention and they offer you a few things. One grabs a bone from the road and instructs you, via miming, to snap it.  Another gestures at her head and makes a chopping motion. The third points to the woods and mimes combat.  As to whats going on deeper in the unreal and about a metal worm, they shrug.

You touch a building but find it sadly unmagical.

Catch up to the others. I think that will use up my new and improved movement stat.

You run...ahem..."run" into the room.  As soon as you enter it the front door slams shut with astounding force and finality, like a headsman's blade falling.


"uhhhhh..."

Open the drapes to introduce more light in here, and examine the other two doors.

The drapes are, oddly, outside the building. They were hung over the windows, apparently to protect them? In any case they're outside your reach now. With time your eyes are adjusting so while its still dim, it isn't pitch black in here.  You walk both left and right, examining the doors one at a time. Unlike the rather plain center door, these doors are engraved much like the ceiling with religious imagery. The one on the Left shows a male figure, massively muscled and covered in tattoos, with all manner of armor and arcane weapons hanging from him. He is huge, lantern jawed, and the prototypical vision of a hero. Behind him is an old man, hands clenched, his head hidden in a robe. Riches are flowing from the sleeves and from under the robe, as though he's carrying so much he can't contain it. Below it, an unfurling banner with the word "HASTE".

The other door holds the image of a young girl, early teens. She's wearing quite a strange outfit: an oddly short skirt, flowing hair and ribbons, some sort of exaggerated mix of childishness. There are armed men behind her, with crossbows, and a halo of disembodied organs floats around her head and shoulders. She is sitting on the ground, a sword laying across her legs, just above the knee. She is laying her hands upon an injured man who is lying in front of her. Light leaps from the place she touches. Under it is a banner with the phrase "SERENITY".

Both are mythic figures in the religion, though you don't know enough about the religion to know much about them. You've seen them on similar tableaus, but thats it.

Try shooting the door that won't open. Maybe I can force it to open.

You fire your bow at the door. The arrow doesn't pierce. It doesn't deflect. It doesn't deform and stop. It simply stops dead the moment it touches the door and drops to the ground. Yikes.

The concept that we may be stuck in a haunted bank with unmovable doors is rather worrisome.

Iron Brian will grab one of the desks and smash against the wall, to see if the furniture also has force cancelling capabilities.

Reflect on teh meanings of the religious imagery on the two doors. The Door on the left leads to the room I checked from the outside, correct? Correlate what I learned from outside with the imagery on that door, as well.

Also, avoid the chaos being attempted by my more energetic teammates
