The troupe members finally reach the Dusty Pengooinn near midnight. Things appear calm. The interior looks as much as the outside, except that the excitement has worn off. There are a few slouching Gnylls scattered among the tables. The attract routine of an old “Strike the Dromedary” machine filters through the background. The mud has solidified on the Slorgg racing table. Chipped mugs are being slowly washed and stacked behind the bar by an aged Hume and an robut. The ancient machine has been hijacked from some movie possibly seen in the distant past. Parts still retain their vacuum metalized sheen. One drier hose clad arm hangs limply at its side. “Hey, can I help you?” comes from a vibrating sheet of tin not unlike the low tones of a drawling pirate dipped in honey. Nameless liquor is produced, as dictated by the randomly generated custom.

Philton arranges for accommodations. Meep’s normal glow seems a bit off, so a full mercury piece is expended to procure two adjoining rooms. The Ankmite excuses itself and goes upstairs to crash. Philton and Cassius follow after they have learned the names of the two bartenders, Festus and I.C.U.P.P. As Cassius falls asleep he notices under the door a glow from Meep’s room. He decides to ignore it.

In the morning Philton knocks on Meep’s door, but there is no response. Opening the door they discover a giant golden pea pod resting on the bed. A voice comes from inside, one that sounds like Meep’s. Philton rips chunks off the pod to reveal a golden skinned Welf. A Welf which has an uncanny resemblance to Meep. Climbing out of the pod she introduces herself as Indus the Arcanist. After a short exchange the three walk downstairs to have breakfast. Philton attempts to explain the concept of child birth to her by explaining “I slid out of a very angry woman”.

While walking downstairs they encounter a moth-winged pillow hovering in the air. A tiny filigree cage rests on the pillow. As Indus moves closer she can see two tiny twins who are smiling and waving. “So good to see you, did you sleep well?” The hovering pillow follows them to breakfast. Once the tiny twins Emi and Yumi discover that today is Indus’s birthday they insist that breakfast is on the house. They splurge and have all three kinds of bacon.

Mid-breakfast, Boogah appears and makes himself comfortable at their table. “I have another job if you're interested. I need you to find a Life Crystal to help out some orphans I know.” He straightens a bit in his chair, no easy task for someone without a proper torso. “Yeah, for the orphans”. The bit about the Life Crystal feels made up on the spot. Cassius and Philton race right past the whole orphans thing and start haggling for what the job will pay. After several rounds they agree on 1,600 mercury, a laxative and two swag items of equal or greater value than the wand of house painting (two coats). As Boogah gets up he asks if they have extreme cold weather gear. If not, he can set up a meeting with his “guy” Marty. Halfway up the stairs he asks if they know how to summon an Oober Sleemay in which to travel.(Spell check did not like that one!)
Cassius flys off, perhaps to never be seen again.
