We ask someone about a town down to the right. It is named Quagmire Keep and is run by the Ironmane clan.
We talk to a person in town about the landmarks on our map. They mention that the oasis in the upper-left might be run by the fey.
After compiling information, we meet back at the inn. We are in one of our rooms. We ask Regi why the tracks are electrified if the train supplies its own energy. Regi is obviously lying to us. We then turn to Animus. Animus knows that Regi is lying. Animus lets us know that the train itself electrifies the tracks. We press him on this. He tells us that the train is going to explode. We need to figure out how to detect the train and defuse it.
Animus develops a formula. It is a "tempest positioning system (TPS)".
We spend some time exploring the nearby mountains. From doing that, we discover a road that leads around the mountains. We also discover the train tracks, which connect at the southern-most tip of the mountain range.
The planet is a sphere.
We also explore the site of the Lost orb of the lake. It seems drawn to Toshi and his staff. It gets more and more agitated as he gets closer. We get the sense that if we combined the two items, the orb would turn back into a lake.
Animus finishes building the TPS.
On our last 4 days, we try to make some more money at one of Toshi's shows.
We talk about maybe leaving some of our party behind. Franchesco Ironmane leaves willingly. Jerrex talks to Thrunk to see if he will leave. He asks if he can can have his dead friend's gun back. Jerrex offers him a small bullet instead. When he hears this, Thrunk punches Jerrex. Combat starts. Rather than killing Thrunk, Jerrex decides to hand over the rifle. Thrunk leaves.
Animus helps build a new gun for Jerrex. They transfer a run from a pistol to the new rifle.
The NPCs in our party are now:
We decide to go after the Train first. We follow the road. The TPS is directing us South-West. We eventually find the Tempest Drive Engine at the top of a mountain ridge. It's surrounded by Wyrmlings. It is regularly pulsing with energy.
Animus, Exia, and Regi go into the train to try and dismantle the core. It's a struggle, and Animus takes some damage. He eventually gets it out. There is an inscription on it:
Magni and Moonbeam
The wyrmlings make some noise. End of session.
