Am I the only one who thinks RIGHTEOUS FURY is just the name of an actual physical weapon?

Am I the only one who thinks Saber, Decorative Lance, and Crossbow (0 bolts) are actually just metaphors?

Isn't "Saber" from one of your filthy animu things?

[Stirk]

Isn't "Saber" from one of your filthy animu things?

Of course. A particularly filthy animu thing at that.

[Maximum Spin]

Maybe ALL our chicken weapons are animu.

...be sure to make sure RIGHTEOUS FURY isn't an actual physical weapon before we try to sheath it in the cockles of our KNIGHTLY HEART.

[Yellow Pixel]

Carefully sequester our RIGHTEOUS FURY in the cockles of our KNIGHTLY HEART. It will be there when we need it!
The rest of our weaponry, the Greenscarves can hang onto for now.

...be sure to make sure RIGHTEOUS FURY isn't an actual physical weapon before we try to sheath it in the cockles of our KNIGHTLY HEART.

+1 We shall keep our RIGHTEOUS FURY till death do us part. But let's not kill ourselves with it! It would be an awkward end for the sane Chicken Knight we are.

"We ARE all Greenscarves here. We joined forces with the Innsmouth Greenscarves, and that makes us Greenscarves by proxy."
The Inksworth Greenscarves give you a dirty look. They evidently remember getting tied up in their own safehouse and having their hard-stolen belongings sold off. It's puzzling that they haven't just run off yet. Maybe it's more profitable to stay? Anyway, you deposit your saber, decorative lance, and crossbow in the crate while hiding your RIGHTEOUS FURY in the cockles of your KNIGHTLY HEART. There will be time to deal with greedy heathens later when you're not in their den, yes. There will  always be time to deal with greedy heathens! For now, you follow along to the other side of the divider where everyone seems to be going.

There on the other side of the room, an ape of some sort with reddish hands (Redhand?) is counting money at a round table along with a fancily dressed rat, goat, and wolf as a bored-looking rat footpad looks on. Two piles of coins and jewelry sits at the center of the table, and one of them is noticeably neater than the other. Goldteef is invited to sit at an unoccupied chair. Doodle-Crow is not offered the same courtesy, and he looks somewhat offended. As you all watch in silence, Goldteef catches up with the rat and wolf on the price of cabbages, latest catches, pocket measuring, and other thiefy things. This conversation is accompanied by the same rapid gesturing you saw with the bartender. After what feels like hours of this torment, the goat gestures wildly at the footpad, who runs off. Naturally, this is followed by more incomprehensible conversation between Goldteef and the Greenscarves at the table.

Some time passes, and two footpads bring in a crate of provisions to a mystified-looking Doodle-Crow. Rat Footpad Ratchel giddily tells you you've got free lodging in this Greenscarf base for a month with all supplies covered. You're not sure what to make of this given that this doesn't seem to have anything to do with getting medical supplies to Teford. What did Goldteef even negotiate with the thieves at the table? Regardless, the conversation at the table beginds winding down and sounding more comprehensible as Goldteef bids farewell to the thieves and crosses the dividers with the Inksworth crew in tow. Fido tells you he'll be in his quarters, and half of the Order is waiting on Bawk-Bawk-BAWK and Cluck-Squawk-Cluck as they collect all the rocks they put into the weapon crate. Would you like to stay around to investigate or would you like to leave and do something else? It isn't clear what time it is, but your hunger suggests that it's probably early evening.

I TRUST THESE GREENSCARVES SO MUCH SO MUCH SO THAT WE SHOULD TRAIN OUR CHICKEN SOLDIERS ON HOW TO GUARD AGAINST POSSIBLE BACKSTABBING THIEVES BY HAVING THEM DO A 2 CHICKEN WATCH AT ALL TIMES WHILE WE STAY HERE.  SO MUCH TRUST.

[Yellow Pixel]

THEY HAVE A GOAT WITH THEM!!!! THEY ARE CORRUPTED, MAYBE IT EVEN ATE THEIR SOULS!!!!

We must investigate the place without attracting attention and elaborate a plan to take control of the base! But we should beforehand have our dinner with Goldteef and find a way to talk to him privately, to make sure him and the other Footpads will collaborate to our forthcoming assault. We cannot let a rebellion happen now!

[VoidSlayer]

WaIt aRE gOatS aLLL CoRUpt?  iiiii thought WE saW tHEY Are wE MADE a MISTAKE before IN THEM BEING ATTACKED?

[Maximum Spin]

According to our earlier in-depth research, "goat" is a non-hereditary title which anyone could potentially possess, like "accountant". Therefore, we should not assume that this goat is evil until we have confirmed whether or not it will eat everything.

I also really don't care about these filthy scarf people and just want to add the relic-hunting guy we learned about to our Quest Log while moving on toward Teford.

Footchickens Bawk-Bawk-BAWK and Cluck-Squawk-Cluck manage to mine out all the rocks in the weapon crate after a few awkward minutes. It doesn't take long for you and the rest of your order to retrieve your weapons, and after calling Fido back, Bill leads you all back to the Dancing Celery for dinner. Greenscarves are seated everywhere, but you spot a few non-Greenscarves around including the escortees. A footpad seats the Order at a long table and gets the Order's order. After some time, the food arrives. Their biscuits, roasted insects, and summer stew probably aren't the finest in town, but they're leagues ahead of gruel and alleged bread. Of course, this raises further questions about what strings Goldteef may have (inadvertently?) attached, and you resolve to ask after the details with no one snooping in at the earliest opportunity. It looks like you probably won't get a chance today, because Goldteef soon leaves with a band of local and Order Greenscarves on a merry quest for extra money.

You stick around for some time but don't hear anything terribly interesting and elect to turn in. You call up the footchickens and head into the tunnels. After a harrowing walk through the dim, winding passages, a footpad guide finds your party and shows you to the Holy Order's leaders' quarters where you assign watches in case of Greenscarf activity. Doodle-Crow approves of your suspicion and agrees with your suggestion that two chickens be awake at any given time in case anything untoward happens. Tired after being relegated to scenery during the round table discussions, you get second watch and thus turn in right away.

You are rudely roused in the middle of the night by the first watch and begin your vigil with BAWK-Cluck. Goldteef has since returned from his excursions and is sound asleep (+KNIGHTLY CASH, -KNIGHTLY PIETY). You think you see and hear some movement just outside the door from the corridors, but you remain still so as not to draw attention to this room. After some boring time spent inventing explanations for the Teford clues that don't add up, you wake Cluck-Squawk-Cluck and go to bed.

The next morning, all of your belongings are still present and undisturbed. You try to get Goldteef alone so you can ask about what happened but never quite get a clean chance. After a nice nutritious breakfast, you get back on the road. The riding dogs make this leg of the trip much faster and more bearable than previous wilderness excursions. By evening, you can spot Teford in the distance upstream from the river you're following. What would you like to do?

(A) Approach cautiously (any specifics on group positioning?)
(B) Cash in now and head back
(C) Brazenly approach Teford and complete your quest
(D) GIve iN TO KNIGHTLY FURY aNd set thIngs right without a Care
(E) Something else
