Chapter 1, Part II: Memory Hunt
Written by Archivist Boris Mous (Roscoe)
After arriving at Moonshots, we took some time to assess our surroundings and partook in food and drink. The drink came with some, *interesting* side effects that lasted either an hour or until a remedy in the form of a mint. A performance by Chappell Gnome was enjoyed and joined by Lilith. Aine and Aer befriended a sentient dog statue who they fed some of the drink to which allowed him to levitate and join us.
After the revelry started to die down, we actually started to try and find Gericho; which we did. He then divulged the finer details about our task. We were to find and reclaim an orb from an orc named Tork. The orb contains the soul of his friend; Professor Ulysses Benson.
After leaving Moonshots, we were magically transported again back to the windowless mansion. After noticing the painting change to the scene of us discussing the task, we explored some more and found another painted glass image of us outside our next destination. We managed to find our way to the "barber shop" where we managed to gain entry to the underground club under the barber shop where with some clever misdirection and conversing, and a little magic/interesting beverage we managed to procure the orb. After doing so and leaving, we were once again brought back to the mansion without the orb.
After some further exploration, we came across the dog statue who let us know that our memories of the events between our task locations and the mansion were taken/clouded. We then went downstairs to the basement via a secret door. We happened upon Gericho, *presumably*, and the group run by Tork and Tork himself with the orb. Tension was high and after some attempts at conversation, combat begun.
