Turn 20go find a graveyard
3+1 for apocalypse.Thanks to the enormous death toll caused by Thainos' actions, you find it very easy to locate a mass grave. After only a few minutes, you locate an open pit filled with dry skeletons.
Gunthar approaches the painting, reaching out to touch it with creaky fingers.
"The cow Auðumbla."
For once, there's no madness in his voice.
...
"...come, friends. Let us discover together where this pass may lead."
And turning, raising the incandescent Axe of Ginnungagap as a torch before him, Gunthar proceeds into the yawning tunnel.
Follow Gunthar and be prepared to use my flashlight in the case of the light source going out.
Follow Gunthar. While doing so, ask my host the following
What must one do for it to be Acceptable to be here?
26Gunthar, Joshua, and Rana wander deeper into the primordial caverns. Using their connected minds to take care of translation, Rana communicates with her host and asks it how to make oneself Acceptable. The creature is less than helpful.
"Be quiet. Be orderly. Stop being out of place. Serve our interests. We had so much planned for the silence. How are you here so early? It is not yet your eon, or even your cycle." After some time, the party comes across an underground pool. Its surface is utterly still and mirrored. Stalactites hang from the ceiling above. Oddly, their counterparts in the pool are perfectly smooth and free of the real stalactites’ imperfections.
Accept the deal and charge at the Okapi hordes.
4"Very good. I had hoped you would be a wise mortal. Serve me well, and great rewards shall be yours. To start, your chimera has been moved back to the gates. Feel free to keep him, I can always summon more."With that, the Dairy Queen returns to her throne room. One of her satyr guards stays behind, escorts you to your chimera, and provides you with a lance. You charge out from the gates alongside a wave of the Dairy Queen's mythical creatures and impale one of the okapi-human hybrids. Another leaps at you from the trees, but the goat head roasts it alive with a breath of flame.
"I guess the mace is long gone oh well, and man that medic thing looks sketchy as hell, there's bound to be another one in this place."
Go into the bunker under the capital building and search it for medical stuff that looks less broken.
3+1 for continued trying/I didn't intend this to be a big deal.You continue to search the Capitol and eventually locate a fully functional medical terminal. A few minutes later and the machine announces that your recent trauma has been cured, along with a malignant tumor you didn't even know about. You make sure to take a moment of silence to honor the tax dollars stolen from the People to create this machine before you move on.
Crap. Let just raid the smaller settlements first.
6-1You decide to take some time to conquer the surrounding area before you attempt raiding Genericville again. It goes astonishingly well. The villagers put up little effective resistance, and your Network rapidly swells with enough new recruits to make up for your previous losses. One town even had a collection of
technicals in storage, which should help in the battle to come.
Alright, look up at the quest gu-wait this is not my way! Wander around and fight until I discover the location where they were taken too.
2You decide to go dungeon crawl at random. Hopefully you can find the plot that way. You clear out a nest of sewer clowns, but it doesn't seem relevant to the story this time and their loot was just a bit of vendor trash.
"Hmm si, el leite seems to be made out of milk. Maybe we can use las propriedes subrenaturais of the milk to find the Infinity Dearies and maybe recreate la Luva Ilimitada? Just throwing it out there compadre."
Juainos attempts to "fix" the fabricators
5Ssarscel isn’t listening.
“I’ve done it! I’ve done it!”
In fact, he’s running down the halls, carefully-sealed milk bottle in hand.
“I made milk! It burnssss out fabricatorsss when made, but we can make more of thosssse! It’ssss proper fucking milk!”
"Good... we're going to need a lot more of it."
Use the Tardis scanner and our milk sample and my guitar's connection to the infinity daries to try and find more of them.
"By the way, how opposed are you to having us milk a chupacabra? Cause we're going to need it.
4+1Pilot the TARDIS like the NPC I secretly am.

"Good... we're going to need a lot more of it."Saying this, Adam turns to the TARDIS computers and searches for more information on the Infinity Dairies.
It looks like, while you've already got the Doom Milk, chupacabra milk is easier than usual to acquire in this world, and the Platonic Milk might be up for grabs, the other three Milks were unique and destroyed by Thainos. You'll need Delta's scans to recreate those. You'll also need new replicators, as Juainos is saddened to report that the TARDIS's food machines and replicators all suddenly broke for some mysterious reason.
Only one place to go for both replacement replicators and the scans. Shaun mutters "Stay a while, and listen!", takes the helm, and pilots the TARDIS to the broken wreck of the Moloko, still lying where it ultimately crashed on Thainos' unknown world. Skeletons from the final battle poke from the dust all around the ship. The swamp has died, and the dead trees reach for the sky. A few desiccated amphibians litter the Moloko's shadow as well, a silent testament to the potential sacrificed on this world and so many others to accomplish Thainos' balancing of the Universe.
OOC:Next turn will be delayed until the 24th.
