But, we convinced him to let us make this trip with a whole load of "  Something says I need to go to the Grasslands specifically."So if we don't come back with something relevant from there, even if we return with other things like the Magistone Sample platter from that rear end in a top hat mirage city, he's going to put 2 and 2 together and realize we just got lucky but still deliberately misled him.

I. Try to remove a metal sheet from the frame around it. Reasoning: it might fit in the tube indentation if it didn’t have the protective cover like a sheath for a knife.

If we fail he has an excuse to ground us like he secretly wants to. If we succeed he'll be pleasantly surprised. Either way he gets Enkidel's wanderlust out of the way for a few decades of being stuck at home defending Kavodel.

Mr. Nemo posted:Diog, we have explored this building at the best of our abilities, have we found anything that resembled that most mythical of rooms... You find what you suspect may, may, may be rooms intended for the disposing of bodily waste near the housing chambers intended for normal sized men. The word "may" three times because you found what you are sure are baths near some of them, but the things you think were intended to dispose of waste look weird to you, a kind of stone seat with clean water in the bottom. There was something on the side of the seat which when you pressed it caused a sound which at once caused Uriah to level his spear at the thing, but the sound was only the moving of water. A second indentation on the chair seemed to send water shooting out of the hole in the chair, upwards? You did not find a bucket with a cloth or leaves in it for the purpose of wiping away poo poo. Despite the places in the tower you suspect to be living quarters having plenty of places to bathe, indeed, more than you would think anyone would need(they even have a river floor for the purpose it looks like? These people sure loved a bath...) you found no such rooms with similar devices which seemed like they would be large enough for a figure capable of using the enormous furniture you found.

Even if it is on the other side of the world, you have relatives in Baitel via marriage and if you can get the goods out of Carine unseen, you like your odds of hiding something in the smaller settlements beyond Baitel much more. If you can buy a place in Carine in SECRET that might work, do you trust any local you hire to not take a peak, then either rob you or tell someone in authority they have a store house full of wonders and marvels?

Ok, I WAS coming in here to check what's up and post that "we are never going to make it to the grasslands" but gently caress it. Tear out one of the toilets and take it back to Zepath/Kavodel, tell Tudiya we are positive this will save our people.

Room full of statues of what seems to be major powers and such from waaaay back when. Some chill as hell zones full of kick-rear end nature scenes.  The vacuum tubes have indentations to allow for the transport of data discs so long as you plug up the bottom. Perhaps the plugs or capsules are hidden somewhere? Diogines posted:You consider this and are uncertain. You spend an hour looking through plates to see if there is anything to it. Some of the plates have too many dots and some have too few, well all have too few actually, but after an hour of searching you find two sets of dots which you think match up with the arrangements of prominent constellations. Even on the most hole-filled metal sheet there is nothing even close to how many stars there actually are in any section of the sky, but you recognize two constellations between a series of plates and think you may recognize the arrangements of some other stars in others.

Question for Diogines: how high on the scale of punishment for vilest heresy does the Orb temple depicting and naming El directly count? On a scale of light admonishment to Sodom and Gomorrah? Is this a thing that anywhere else we would expect Heroes to be sent to rid the world off, or is it more the realm of the local sanitation office? Question for Diogines: With our stupendous memory for faces and features, would you say one of the 26 busts looks about how we could have expected Amos to look like several thousand years ago? Or what Ishamal would look like if he shaved?
