Hopefully the Emergency Meeting to be had at the Abraham City Courthouse will settle the confusion The Flash had made and allow us to respond to the emergency.

——————

Dhav steps out of the changing room in an outfit she herself finds nice. A black, long sleeve sweater with a tan knee high skirt, black flat bottom shoes, and something the Americans call ‘’+Leggings+’’, a kind of thin and stretchy undergarment for the legs made from a exotic fabric. Red helped by adding a small silver triangular style necklace with a blue crystal set into it to the outfit that she won from a card game back at the fort. What she had put in the pot- The Wizard knows better than to ask.

‘’The necklace really draws it all together’’ Dhav says as Rowan walks out after a moment. Herself adorn in a long short sleeve yellow dress with flower embroidery along the bottom and a wide brim white Sun hat.

‘’Not bad not b-‘’ the Paladin started

‘’O YEA!’’ a Dragonborn burst out of a changing room in a bright red suit and a pair of tinted glasses, ‘Sunglasses’ she claimed they were called, Holding her lute in imitation of a photograph of an American bard she seen in one of the ‘magazines’ in the store. Dhav knows that she was going for a dress-like suit until she saw the image of the bard troop. ‘’Might as well dress the part- right girls?’’

‘’definitely far to flashy for my tastes’’ Red says as she steps out in one of those ‘suit dresses’, this one going down to her ankles and a dark black and gray stripe pattern and a brown Ivy Cap. The black leather gloves she worn being the one from her previous outfit. ‘’then again- it suits you’’ earning a silent raspberry from the bard.

‘’You had choices’’ Dula says as she walk out in a knee high tan dress with short sleeves, the only thing that would fit the large mussel bound woman in the store that the Admiral would accept.

‘’Your tall even for our people’’ Rowan stated ‘’taller than any Americans I seen, and it seems like the men and woman of these people are… different.’’

‘’Like one has tits?’’ Olitic jest

‘’other than that.’’ The holy warrior deadpans ‘’I haven’t noticed at the time- but the men and women are noticeably different in hight and build compared to our peoples.’’ Rowan clarify as she look at the shop keeper as she organize a rack of cloths. ‘’It’s more noticeable when they are in groups together- the women tend to be shorter on average, seemly less built and weaker looking.’’ She explains as she flex her arm. ‘’I think I failed to notice because they all together don’t stand out in such regard.’’

‘’Might be cultural?’’ Red muse ‘’they seem to not let women fight.’’

‘’not for the official organizations’’ Rowan corrected ‘’the yellow militia had female members, and there were armed women civilians walking around.’’

‘’The drawing of the historical American army only had men in it’’ Dhav recall as she look over her new outfit in the mirror.

‘’You good?’’ Mr Simmons ask the party, getting nods from the other adventurers. ‘’We go to +City Hall+’’

———

On the way to the ‘city hall’ Dhav notice a growing number of Americans are gathering. Civilians- most without any identifiable markings of allegiance, many with their families. Soldiers stand guard at select stores while others are being protected by their own owners and keepers, the general mood seems to be peaceful if tense.

‘’Hey- there’s some Yellow Militia over there’’ Rowan says pointing at a group of young men and women, identifiable by the yellow armbands on their arms. Dhav notice that they seem to be talking to a few police officers by what looks like a recently vandalized storefront on the other side of a small empty lot.

‘’I think I see someone tied up among them’’ Elidi says- trying to get a look.

A group of people move allowing Dhav to see a tied up individual sitting on the ground. It look like

‘’I bet somebody thought they could-‘’

SMASH

Red was interrupted when a glass bottle smashed into the side of the greyhound where she was sitting. Olitic, Dula, and the soldiers both quickly go around and close the open windows as the other party members wordlessly begin to be on the watch for trouble as the vessel slows, trying to avoid hitting anyone.

The driver yell something and slap her wheel, causing it to bellow a noise. This seems to cause a crowd of people to get out of the way.

‘’+I don’t like this+’’ Dhav can hear the Admral says as he survey the seen ‘’+there’s more people than expected+’’

The general volume, destiny, and activity of the crowd began to rise, focussed on a mildly ornate building three stories high, the central wing topped with a bronze dome. The American flag fly proudly at the top of the dome while the walls are made of a white brick. On the top of the flat roof are some soldiers armed with larger and longer rifles, seemly patrolling. On the ground the police officers maintain order in the front yard by forming up lines between several groups of Americans. Tho the groups seem to be identifiable by various iconography and dress, with the white clad ‘Clan’ being immediately identifiable. In general it dose not seem to be a protest or riot… yet… but how close and volatile it is, the party would need a moment to look at the situation to make sense of it as the greyhound comes to the stop where the crowd been cleared, tho under orders of the Admiral the driver is hesitant to open the doors for a moment.

Looking over the crowd, Dhav estimates that this gathering easily numbered more than ten thousand people. Men, women, and children looking for answers and in anticipation of what is happening. Some are shouting slogans or demands while others seem to be connecting to people they know or being actively recruited by the various groups.

For now- the groups seem to be keeping their distance from other groups, their members working to ring in those who would try to incite conflict among the other groups with various amount of willingness.

The smallest of these are represent by what looks like less than a hundred people, of those unmasked seem to be mostly young adults and older teens, using red to signify their allegiance to each other, of the picket signs they have sometimes contained the iconography consisting of a hammer and sickle laid on each-other like a English ‘X’. They seem to be among the most boisterous for their size, mainly against the white robed group on the other side of the clear walkway and most seem to be masked.

‘’+Mr Simmons?+’’ Rowan asks the English teacher/interpreter. ‘’Who are the red guys?’’

The man sighs ‘’+communists+’’ he says ‘’most kids from my +collage+ and others. Good hearts, not good heads’’

On the other side of the clear off walkway is the white robed men surrounded by what look like supporters, in total seem to number a few hundred, perhaps three hundred. Dhav noticed glances of some of them being armed, weapons concealed under jackets. The group makeup seen to favor male tho the robes can make that seem ambiguous to the wizard. Tho the ‘Communist’ seem to be a mixture of the various kinds of Americans, these white robes men are-

‘’They are all white’’ Rowan observed.

‘’they the Klu Klux Klan , or the +KKK+’’ The same American Professor says, giving the group a name ‘’bad people, no like blacks. few before Flash in Lincoln, few in Abraham’’

‘’And apparently don’t like ‘wonderlanders’ eaither’ Elidi added.

‘’Also most of their boots- they are not from this city’’ Red states ‘’worn and simplistically distinctive…. If I have to guess the bulk of those guys are from somewhere more rural.’’ The rouge added. ‘’Some rich farmers would order boots made for their work. Tho plenty of other Americans not with them also look like they could be such wealthy farmers’’ the rouge continued while the Admiral seems to be relaying orders using a radio.

The next group is the ‘’Yellow Militia’’ Rowan encountered yesterday, they seem to be more spread out and lean heavy with what the Paladin had described as ‘asian’. The wizard now recognizes it as a similar human expression as those from the far eastern contents but she seen ‘black’ and ‘white’ mixed in as well as a mix of men and women, all identifiable by yellow bandannas. They seem to be actively keeping an eye on the Klan not so much on the Communists. They are probably numbered in a few hundred but it’s hard to tell with so many around storefronts. A group of them even set up a table for recruitment on a wood and metal wagon pulled by an American car.

Olitic snorts in amusement at the recruitment table ‘’Aww the old ‘Wagon loophole’. Seen plenty use that to get around rules on selling stands’’

‘’+Active Community Watch+ or +ACW+’’ Simmons label them ‘’new, acted during the Flash Panic against riots but caused issue with soldiers.’’

‘’There’s some of the thin stripes- the Mob’’ Rowan says, pointing at a American car with some of the Mobs leaning on it, one of them can be seen carrying some kind of instrument case. ‘’They have control of some of the port, but I’m surprised I don’t see more of them’’

‘’The +Italian+ Mob are- umm, +criminals+, not legal, bad’’ the interpreter added.

‘’They have bards?’’ Olitic asks ‘’I wonder what American battle music sounds like?’’

‘’That maybe hold +Tommygun+’’ the man says pointing at the case.

‘’Sounds to me like the Mob is a Thieves Guild’’ Red added

‘’Great- I may have pissed off the local equivalent to the Thieves Guild’’

Everyone else seems largely unaffiliated with the groups. Rich and poor, gathered in equal measure concern about what is going to change, what is going to happen, and to give voice to their concerns and anxieties. Many of them are holding up signs- of the few English words Dhav recognize she seen their word for ‘God’ pop up fairly often, a word these strange people use when talking about their only god.

‘’If things get violent, there will not be enough police’’ Dula states plainly. ‘’It feels like it can turn into a riot on a drop of a hat…’’

‘’+alright+’’ the Admiral says ‘’+We need to get inside quickly.+’’

>>6310648
3/4

Dhav quickly grab her sack containing her robes and line up with the others, the doors open and everyone other than the driver speed walk down the path cleared of people. All of the Americans look at Dhav and her companions, tho Elidi look human- Red and Olitic clearly standout as something other than human, several Americans hold strange devices that flash lights at the adventures. There’s shouts and gasps, slogans mixing in with some yelling that Dhav recognize as insults even without the language barrier, the cacophony making it hard to pick out even singular English words from the crowd.

‘’+Hello Ladies~+’’ the Dragonborn says flirtatiously to a trio of American women who immediately recoiled.

‘Not to loud to hear someone get shot down’ the Wizard muse to herself.

‘’Forgot to mention’’ Rowan piped up ‘’Americans don’t like gay stuff’’

‘’Prudes’’ the bard in defeat before she smirks ‘’well- the red head definitely prefers scabbards with how she looked at you Dhav.’’ Earning her a roll of Dhav’s eyes.

After just a minute the group is inside, passing by a group of soldiers protecting the redwood doors.

The small lobby opens into hallways that run the length of the building with several doors leading to a number of rooms, the first thing the party notice is what look like a display for various artifacts. Hanging on a wall and behind some glass is several rusted tools, various different rifles, maps, drawings, cloths, books and even a metal canteen. Above the display is a oil painting depicting a floating American woman in flowing white cloth, carrying a book and a spool of string leading a large group of Americans who seem to be preparing the land for settlement, leaving behind them what looks like a American city. The rest of the walls of the lobby have other paintings, some of American warships or military triumphs, others of what look like imagery from religious texts or portraits of people.

>>6310649

‘’that’s… concerning.’’ Elidi asks as Dhav notice the darker left side of the painting, wild animals who seem to be being chased off, namely an entire herd of buffalo. But most striking is a small group of humans of reddish-brown skin dressed differently from the Americans. Them being placed among the wild beasts sit- wrong with the Wizard.

‘’+Alright+’’ the Admiral say as he organizes some papers ‘’+The Meeting will be in a half a hour. Thank you for agreeing to this.-+’’ before he go into a sentence Dhav and the others couldn’t understand.

Apon seeing the confusion Mr Simmons translates. ‘’He is sorry about many people and their words. We expected half at most.. also he want to remind you that we are here to answer questions from the representatives and to show them some magic.’’ He say- seemly sorry himself as the Admiral go down one of the hallways. ‘’any questions?

While Dhav ponder for a moment she notices Rowan looking inquisitively at a particular painting depicting a man holding two stone slabs while preaching to a large group of people.

Dhav look back at the oil painting. ‘’Who are they?’’ She asks ‘’the people being driven away’’

The interpreter look at the painting and sighs. ‘’They are Indians, Native Americans.’’

‘’You driven out Americans?’’ Dhav asks while Rowan go up and down the halls, looking at the other paintings and lingering on the more religious ones.

‘’it- hard to explain.’’ The interpreter says he thinks for a moment. ‘’no have many words… Americans- was… European.. When Europeans met Indians- Europeans got Indians sick, Europeans had guns, Indians had rock weapons.’’ He says as he gestured to the displayed American gun, then to the displayed stone tool ‘’Most died from sick, then Europeans fought Indians. Most Indian that no die from sick died from fight. Indians lost most land, when Europeans became Americans- Americans no see Indians as American, many today no see Indians as American.’’

‘’Colonization and genocide’’ Elidi says in realization.

‘’Not- that unheard of in our world’’ Olitic admit. ‘’What happened to them?’’

‘’moved to ‘reservations’, treated bad here.’’ the man answered ‘’less today but done. Americans argue how Indians be… handled, Americans argue a lot.’’

‘’That… is evil….’’ Dhav can’t help but to say. To which the man nod, surprising the wizard a little.

‘’Americans argue on good and evil. Argue what good and evil-‘’ the man began clarify. ‘’I see it evil, many see it evil.’’

‘’Argue on what Jehovah wants. So you split, became Catholics, Baptists, and so on’’ Rowan says as the Paladin flip through the large book she gotten the day earlier.

The man nods ‘’We all want good. But we argue what is good’’

‘’That might explain a few things’’ Rowan says ‘’you all smell strange, like you keep flipping between good and evil.’’

Dhav grimace ‘will they treat my people like these Indians?’ She thinks ‘if we were going to get each other sick- surely we would have seen it by now, so that is not an issue’ she hoped. ‘’changing topics- who is going to be at the meeting?’’

‘’them who voting are the envoy of the towns and +counties+ of Lincoln as well as Senator Strong and a Indian Reservation envoy. The +General+ and +Admiral+ will be here but as military knowledge.’’ Mr Simmons explains ‘’them, ummm, trades leaders?’’ He try to find the words ‘’People who own stores who make things’’

‘’factory leaders?’’ Dhav says as much as she asks to wich the man nod.

‘’yes- factory leaders, Them help us know what we need to make what we need.’’ He explains ‘’what we can make for how long. Last are envoy of two groups, the ACW and an unnamed group of churches led by Pastor Smith. Who say he’s daughter speak Common-‘’

‘’Still?’’ Rowan interrupts ‘’the spell should have worn off sometime yesterday’’

‘’I guess it was permanent’’ Elidi mused ‘’that would be a very useful spell if it could be replicated.’’

Simmons think for a moment before answering. ‘’I can see if true, anyone else?’’

‘’I got a question’’ Rowan pipes up ‘’why do you guys have a painting of Ao?’’ She asks- gesturing to a painting with a bearded human man with two stone tablets and preaching to a large group of people.

‘’Who is Ao?’’ Simmons asks.

‘’The god of the gods, the God of Balance, The Hidden one’’ Rowan answers. ‘’It’s strange tho- he is a little known god, few if any worshipers as he only act in a manner that make big changes or to dictate to the gods. As is we only know of hem because works written by those who personally knew the gods.’’

‘’+Well+, that is not this Ao god’’ Mr Simmons answer ‘’That is Mosses, a holyman of Christianity and Judaism, He got the Jews out of land of Egypt, he’s story is in the book of Exodus in the Bible’’ he says before stopping to think ‘’he is known as the King of Kings and Lord of Lords.’’

‘’Judaism? Jews?’’ Red asks while Rowan flip to a different portion of the large book.’’

‘’Christians who don’t believe in Jesus’’ Rowan answers ‘’or Jehova worshipers before Christians- it is confusing.’’

‘’so who dose these ‘Catholics’ I heard of worship?’’ Elidi asks

‘’Jehova.’’ Rowan answers ‘’My understanding is that Christians, Jews and a absent third group disagree on ‘major’ matters of faith. Meanwhile Christian’s Catholics, Methodist, and others disagree on ‘minor’ matters but still big enough to split over’’ Rowan shakes her head ‘’I find the notion maddening.’’

‘’That is why I +Atheist+’’ Mr Simmons says with a chuckle. ‘’To much fight, to much lies- no insult’’ he says looking at Rowan who shrug it off.

‘’Atheist?’’ The rouge asked once more.

‘’I believe no god’’ Mr Simmons says.

‘’You don’t worship anyone?’’ Dhav asks.

‘’That is +Agnostic+, +Atheist+ believe god is fake.’’ The American answer.

The entire party look at Mr Simmons like he grown another head. Agnosticism is known, in fact most see two forms of it, those who are not actively worshipping anyone and those who believe the gods are not worth being worshiped. But to believe there is no gods-

‘’That, has to be, the craziest thing I heard you Americans say’’ Elidi says undiplomatically as Red take a step away from the interpreter, not wanting to be in the AOE should one of the gods decide to show hem what’s ‘fake’. Rowan is deep in thought about this before she holds up the book.

>>6311494

‘’could you give me a list of Jehova’s holy books?’’ The Paladin asks ‘’I noticed some other similarities to gods I know elsewhere with all the various iconography, but i am not sure if it’s just coincidence.’’

‘’I know name of Bible, Torah, and Quran’’ Mr Simmons answered ‘’there more but you would want to look in the library. Lots of religious books though but they are major one for Christians, Jews, and Muslim.’’ Before he slap he’s forehead ‘’wait, um- what party name?’’

‘’What we call ourselves?’’ Dhav asks ‘’umm- we actually haven’t given ourselves a name yet.’’

‘’do we need one?’’ Dula asks.

‘’Believe me- you want name’’ Mr Simmons warns ‘’if papers give you name- you no like it. And you want to start meeting by introducing yourself.’’

One of the doors open down the hall, The Admiral pokes he’s head out and do a stage whisper that echoes ‘’+five minutes, keep the magic to the flashy, not the attack magic+’’ before disappearing back into the room.

Dhav look at the Bard and give a diplomatic smile ‘’thank you for the offer but I believe this requires a… different approach.’’ She says as she takes out her robe ‘’a bit more diplomacy and a lot less spoon’’

‘’everyone’s a critic’’ the bard deadpans ‘’but alright.’’ She says with a shrug.

Dhav slip the magic item over her Americanized outfit. ‘’And I think I got a good name for us; The Wonderlander 6’’

‘’I like it’’ Olitic says approving.

‘’It’ll work’’ Red added

The other girls other nods or shrug at the name choice as the six adventurers approach the door. A relatively plain wooden door. If such an entrance is fitting for a counsel of commoners or unbecoming for one of such power- the wizard cannot decide. After a moment the door is opened by what look like a young female assistant or worker for this American equivalent to a ‘city palace’. From what she knows so far probably working her first job since entering adulthood. The American woman look surprised but not overly so, like someone who heard roomers only to see them to be true.

‘’+right inside, the _____are ready+’’ the young aid says as a argument begins in the room.

‘’+WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU ____ HEM ___ TO NOT COME!!!!+’’

‘’+WE NEED NO _______ RED SKIN ______ _____ HERE! WE ARE HERE TO SERVE AMERICANS! NOT-+’’

The tirade is interrupted with the entrance of the Wizard, everyone turn their heads to look at the woman and her companions and the woman look back at the assembled men. Sitting around a large long table sit a dozen men and a dozen and one name plates. The one whose venom was cut short was a man sitting at the nameplate; ‘Carol Carson, Mayor of Thomas Landing’, sitting near the far end of the table at a corner. Across from the white American is the Admiral, General, and Senator, respectively looking livid, annoyed, and disappointed at the red face mayor. Infront of every spot is a collection of papers, photos, and other items of note, of the photos she can make out they seem to be pictures of the various islands or of various creatures, including intelligent ones like herself.

Looking around the modest room befitting of a minor merchant with a long history, not for a ‘kingdom’ of sixty thousands master craftsmen. Dhav notice a empty chair, one labeled ‘’Sam Pinecone, Representative of the Twin Arrow Tribe’’

‘’+I’m sorry Dhav, I just learned that someone _______ to make the ______ to not tell the representative of two (number, one of the bigger ones) people.’’ The Admiral sneer- the venom directed at the elected leader across from hem.

‘’+Should we allow (animal) to (something to do with their government)?+’’ the mayor retort then mumble something under he’s breath.

‘’+Gentlemen-Gentlemen+’’ one of the American holy men says as he stand up, Pastor Smith if Dhav recall right. As he suggests something Dhav activate her robe.

>>6313376

‘’+this is not the time for devison- I say we call the reservation and at least have someone to speak for them+’’

‘’+I’m guessing this ‘Smith Pinecone’ is the Native American representative?+’’ the wizard ask ‘’+dose this mean that we can’t continue?+’’

There’s some commotion in the hall until a man with reddish brown skin and distinctive cheek bones throw the door back open. ‘’+I’m here!+’’ the smartly dressed American says as he trudge to he’s chair, cursing every step along the way. ‘’+end of fucking world and people act like it’s the school yard+’

Rowan wispers to Dhav ‘’so- what did +fuck+ mean?’’

‘’Fuck’’ Dhav answers back causing the Paladin to chuckle before she clears her throat. ‘’+Ladies and gentlemen, I once more want to thank your people for your hospitality during these trying times+’’ the Wizard says to the crowd ‘’I am Dhav Sparks of the Wonderland Six, we are people of these islands around you, the Shining Isles. We were brought here to provide context to your situation and to answer questions.’’

‘’So- how did you learn English so fast?’’ The Mayor of Thomas Landing asks. Judging the green woman before looking at the others. ‘’Y’all learning or just Little Miss Green Giant?’’

Dhav once more clear her throat ‘’+we are learning English, but right now I’m using my robe+’’ getting a unamused look from the man and some confused looks from the others ‘’+actually that brings me to the first topic, our ability. A ability many of our people in these lands can do. We call this ability magic-‘’

On cue Dhav use mage hand to go from seat to seat and organize the papers and photos. Her hands miming the movements of the glowing blue Etherial hands, surprising those who have yet to experience the gift of the gods that is magic.

‘’+Magic is a force of power among my people. A force that seems to be taking root among your own people. It can heal, cast fireballs, charm people-+’’

‘’+Hold on+’’ the general added ‘’+your saying that you have mind control?+’’

‘’+there is magic that can do that+’’ the military men and Senitor seem to take it seriously, while the mayors look- skeptical. The Native American man look attentive at the claim. ‘’+but more commonly there’s magic that can influence people, and once the magic wears off the person, if knowing what to look for, can tell that they been influenced. If you don’t believe me- I could use a volunteer to prove it+’’

‘’+Dhav- what precisely is the… symptoms of the ability you’re going to use?+’’ The Admiral asks.

The wizard approach the man to whisper to hem ‘’+it’s a spell called ‘Charmed Person’+’’ the wizard says in a low tone ‘’+if the person fail to resist it the effect they’ll become friendly to the caster. Regardless of success the person will know who casted the spell+’’

>>6313377

The Admral thinks for a moment before asking. ‘’+is it temporary?+’’

‘’+yes- up to an hour+’’ she answers in a whisper. ‘’+the caster can cancel it any time+’’

‘’+I’ll allow it.+’’ the Admiral states.

‘’+go ahead and use your smoke and mirrors+’’ Mayor Carson says.

‘’Olitic, can you charm one of these people?’’ The Wizard asks.

Olitic unbuttoned her top button and began to swagger to one of the Americans-

‘’-The spell, not Bardic Spoonation’’ Dhav clarified hiding her amusement ‘’the ‘charismatic’ Mayor with a big mouth volunteered himself’’

Olitic walk around the table and up to the Mayor, her lute in hand and with a toothy smile that puts off some of the mayors and, well, the bard is apt at telling who’s trying to hide their ‘curiosity’, a curiosity that is missing from this admittedly bold man. ‘’+Hello darling, Nice greet you. I Olitic Dry’sa. Date later? Movie maybe Ballgame?+’’ she asks in her broken English.

The look of disgust on the man melts away as he smiles ‘’+I’m flattered ma’am, but i’m happily married, tho my son is looking for a nice gir-+’’ is cut off when Olitic plucked a few strings of her instrument, the calm face rising to that of rage ‘’THE HELL DID YOU-‘’ as he rose in he’s seat only to find a blue hand between the two individuals.

‘’+that was the spell charm person, what you felt Lord Carson is what anyone who been charmed would feel after the effects worn off.’’ Dhav explained. ‘’it used what we refer to as a ‘slot’ of level one magic, Olitic can only do two slots of level one per day, while cantrips, like my own ‘Mage Hand’ you see here, can be done as often as one want per day so long as they can do cantrips and know the spell’’

‘’How high level do spell go?’’ The mayor of New Oslo asks, a relatively young American leader.

‘’+Epic Magic+’’ Dhav answers ‘’+the magic associated with the gods themselves. For reference the spell Wish is a ninth level spell and is a spell that allow for you to summon just about anything you can imagine including any spell level 8 or lower+’’ she explains.

‘’+so- why don’t you wish for- endless food or something+’’ one of the advisers asks, a young man in a suit and covered in bandages.

‘’That’s Mr Burns’’ Rowan inform Dhav ‘’the man I saved yesterday’’

‘’+because Mr Burns, before the crisis there’s probably only a one or two thousand people in the Shining Isles that can do level five and six spells’’ Dhav explains ‘’and magic items who can do level eight or nine spells are the kind of boons you get form the gods themselves. For instance My robe is a level one spell of Comprehend Language’’

>>6313379

‘’+also the military gained procession of a magically enhanced item+’’ the General added ‘’+it looks like a Magic wand and is able to emit a ball of fire akin to a incendiary grenade five times per twenty four hours-+‘’

‘’+-per day+’’ Dhave Corrected ‘’+it resets at midnight on items and when you get about eight hours of sleep with casters.+’’

‘’+really? That is actually even more useful. Anyways it was traded for emergency repairs on a sea vessel carrying a VIP of unknown nature. A deal enabled due to help of one of these people, Rowan if the reports is accurate+’’ the general explain in a cold precise manner while the Paladin wave at the mention of her name.

‘’+and we had a report of a police officer reviving another officer+’’ a decorated police officer added

‘’+no true- Officer Bradly did+ lay on hand, not revive. +Old cop was alive.+’’ Rowan corrected.

‘’+wait- you were the crazy armor lady running around yesterday?+’’ the mayor of Abraham asks the holy warrior

Before Rowan could answer Dhav does ‘’+Crazy and Paladin are synonymous Lord Gribble.+’’ the half orc half jest. ‘’But she is right, unless the person is missing 50 gold worth of diamonds he was carrying and this ‘Officer Bradly’ had that spell and unintentionally used it, it was a lesser spell used, Lay On Hands. So congratulations Police Chief, You are leading at least one Paladin of the Law.+’’

The experienced looking lawman shake he’s hear ‘’+if a half dozen witnesses weren’t there- I would have sent those two to the insane asylum+’’ the leader of the police says ‘’+and if Bradly haven’t dragged me to the hospital this morning to show off he’s new skill, I would have still called it bullshit.+’’ he added ‘’+I saw a man with he’s own glowing hands completely healed a child with a broken back like he was god dam Jesus himself.+’’

‘’+and that is a spell innate to paladins+’’ Dhav explain as she picks up a pencil and cast light on it before handing it to the next guy who- is hesitant until a soldier test it with the ‘giger’ counting device and found it safe. ‘’+We have attack spells but we need permission to show you+’’

‘’+nothing that start fires or brake walls+’’ the Admral say ‘’+don’t use it on anyone, and do it one at the time.+’’

The other party members with support or utility cantrips and spells use them on the willing or just to display, from Rowan’s Heroism or Red’s Thaumaturgy. Elidi use Ray of Frost to freeze a cup of water she filled with her enchanted jug.

‘’+And all of us- are fresh, new adventurers, level one as we would say+’’ Dhav explains ‘’+with basic magical items. All the while there’s magic items on this island that was enchanted around the time of The Flash. You are powerful people who walked into a world of powers you do not understand, you can topple kingdoms and loot sealed items that are sealed for a reason, hired ‘experts’ unaware of their true nature.+’’ Dhav shake her head ‘’+entire cities have been dragged literally to hell under the nose of people who know what to look out for. But also part of me is looking forward to what could be done with what you have and what we know.+’’

All of the men look at each other- a mixture of excitement and fear as they talk to one another. Some, namely the Admiral, General, Sam Pinecone, Pastor Smith, and some of the mayors, seem to have taken the information seriously. The others only look- unsure.

‘’+Also I feel compelled to inform you people of some… differences I noticed between our societies.+’’ Dhav start

‘’+Other than the magic?+’’ The mayor of New Oslo ask rhetorically.

‘’+or the menagerie of…,+’’ Carson says with some distain ‘’+have we settled if creatures like Greenie and Red are animals or not?’’ He asks+’’

‘’+So far all of my officers been order to act as if all Wonderlanders are human+’’ the leader of the police added ‘’+legally, it is a gray area, At least for everyone other than the humans+’’ he says gesturing to the humans, and Elidi, of the party.

‘’+You guys don’t have human sacrifice or anything like that- right?+’’ The mayor of New Virginia asks with worried seriousness.

‘’+no, we do not. Such magic is dark, evil, and dangerous. If you notice what look like the sacrifice of people, human or otherwise, take it as a very bad sign.’’ Before taking a deep breath to collect herself. ‘’as you can see with your photos, we are not as technologically advanced. Tho we do have magical equivalent to some of your devices- they are much rarer and sometimes more limited. But there’s a few other- things that are more… cultural.+’’

‘’+I’m guessing you’re referring to your notions on… acceptable romance?+’’ the pastor says ‘’+Rowan was opened about her- preferences yesterday and explained it some+’’

‘’+that’s one of the things, what we refer to ‘bisexuality’ is assumed to be the default for people+’’ Dhav explains ‘’+to us, if your anything other than that then it’s just seems as your preference… no different than if you prefer a certain personality. Chances are any who come here or meet you all will eventually approach you with such in mind, if you don’t go that way- just turn down advances.+’’

The American leaders look at each other unsure until one of them once more spoke.

‘’+The town of Thomas Landing is not going to accept any Wonderlander refugees.+’’ the aforementioned mayor states flatly ‘’+we don’t need a world of pervs going after our children-+’’

‘’LETHANDER’S TWILIGHT!’’

Rowan slam a fist on the table. Dhav put a hand on her shoulder ‘’Rowan- relax, I’m sure it’s a mis-‘’

‘’+we are NOT those monsters. Lord Carson+’’ Rowan says to the mayor with venom

‘’+Little Green, you might want to get control of your firend before she find out what happen to idiot* lesbians* around here+’’ Carson says, jabbing a finger in the direction of the Paladin and angering the rest of the party. Dhav is pretty sure the words- tho translated- was a kind of slur of one form or another. ‘’+you must be this armored woman who was running around yesterday, why don’t you go back to your pagan temple and go after your own children.+’’

The tension in the room could be cut with a knife as a few of the American representatives get out from between the two individuals. Senator String stands up in he’s own fit of anger.

‘’+Carson!+’’ the Senator yelled ‘’+the fuck man, this is not the time for-+’’

‘’+I am not afraid to show a Idiot* their place+’’ the problem mayor says standing up. The man ball up he’s fist ready for a fist fight.

Elidi try to calm the Paladin ‘’Rowan, I don’t know what he said but calm down- we can’t be fighting these-‘’

‘’+If you brave, no magic, no weapons+’’ Rowan says standing up ‘’+You see what words buy in Shining. I no afraid to teach you.+’’

‘’General, Carson, and Oslo have concealed weapons’’ Red whispers to Dhav’s ear during the exchange between the two side. ‘’Gun, Gun, knife respectively, I still got a knife if things go south’’

Dhav;

>> let this play out
>> try to de-escalate (1D20, DC13 to calm the Paladin down, DC16 to clam Carson down )

‘Lord’ Carson approach the Paladin who herself gets into a fighting position.

‘’+Last time to stop.+’’ The Paladin says ‘’+Won’t hit first+’’

‘’+Carson, we are on live radio+’’ the General says gesturing to a device on the center of the table.

‘’+so- who should give the play by play+’’ Senator Strong sarcastically say. ‘’+My money is on Rowan+’’

‘’+five American paper on Rowan win+’’ Olitic say holding up a 5$ bill as a few others began to bet.

The American Admiral facepalms before slumping onto the table ‘’+Had The Flash made everyone mad?+’’ He grone before turning to Rowan ‘’+don’t knock hem out. We need to finish this meeting, today preferably.+’’

Carson swings on Rowan who herself dodges expertly and deliver a blow to he’s chest.

‘’+For the people listening over the radio+’’ Dhav stated ‘’+that was the sound of what pass for a American nobleman starting a fist fight with a trained Paladin of Lethander+’’

‘’kick he’s ass Rowan’’ Olitic yells ‘’I got 30 money on you’’

Carson swings again and hit the warrior in the shoulder, the next swing is grabbed by Rowan and he is forced up against the wall.

‘’+Do you yield?+’’ Rowan asks the American.

Carson flings he’s head back smashing Rowan in the nose. It force the woman to stumble back but rapidly she gets back into the fight to block a punch. ‘’Good fighter. Trained?’’

‘’+U.S. Marines and Boxing.+’’ Carson reply dodging a punch.

‘’+Lethander Temple, Granithelm.+’’ Rowan sweep her leg to trip the American, getting hem on the ground and holding he’s arm behind he’s back ‘’+Ummm- many fighting.+ Dhav?’’

‘’+Mix Martial Arts+’’ Dhav translated ‘’+with her fighting honorably. If this was a real fight it would already ended with a-+‘’

‘’+UNCLE! YOUR GONNA BRAKE IT! I YELD!+’’

Rowan get off of the man and offer a hand to hem.

‘’+And the lawful good Paladin offer a hand in sportsmanship and- ow the mad looser slap it away. Disgraceful+’’ the Wizard say in the direction of the device. The defeated Mayor gives a rude finger that seems to have the same meaning in English and in Common. The defeated man look around the room for sympathy and found none. He even looks at the police chief.

‘’+Look like a case of self defense+’’ the police chief says ‘’+you swung first and she let you walk away after.+’’

‘’+you challenge, lose, try cops?+’’ The Paladin shakes her head in disappointment. ‘’+No shame.+’’

‘’+Silver fork godless gold hungry+’’ Rowan added, trying to translate a common insult to English.

‘’+-I have no clue. But most capable ones are able to set such things aside when dealing with people with physical power.+’’ Dhav continued.

‘’+so speak softly and carry a big stick+’’ Senator Strong say. ‘’+it’s a familiar idea to us.+’’

‘’+let’s see. There’s dangers with magic- namely cults of the evil aligned gods, necromancers, magical evil creatures, the occasional magic item that drives one to evil+’’ Dhav explains

‘’+What do you mean by ‘evil aligned+’?’’ The mayor of New Oslo asks

Dhav thinks for a moment before settling on an explanation. ‘’+there’s 3 horizontal alignments, Lawful, Neutral, and Chaotic, and there’s 3 vertical alignments, Good, Neutral, and Evil. With our good and evil meaning more or less Selfless and Selfish respectively. All of our gods fall within this framework, a Lawful god would be associated with orderly things, while chaotic is typically associated with magic, freedom, anarchy or something else of that nature.+’’

‘’+ Lathander is Lawful Good+’’ Dhav added ‘’+I believe in Lathander- I go and help, I danger my life to save another.+’’ She added.

‘’+To that end we believe that slavery and murder to be evil, meanwhile self sacrifice and charity to be good+’’ Dhav continued. ‘’+And as such we have gods that land in those alignments. Evil gods, selfish gods are the kind of gods that demand human sacrifice and other evils and such activities have real world effects.+’’

‘’+oh gods are real+’’ Rowan added ‘’+all gods, Jehovah, Lathander, Ao, real. Say god fake- crazy, insane, asking for danger. Not from who believe, from the gods.+’’

The police chief thinks for a moment before speaking. ‘’+Is this why one of my men got glowing healing hands, what did you call it? Lay On Hands?+’’

‘’+He just need an oath he believes in, Rowan’s Oath is to her god, Lathander.+’’ Gesturing at the Paladin.

‘’+Pastor Smith Oath is the god Jehovah.+’’ Rowan says. ‘’+Officer Bradly Oath maybe law or help.+’’

‘’+Scuse me+’’ a man who been silent till now say- he is an older man perhaps in he’s 60’s with glasses and in an American suit that seems to be a lesser quality. ‘’+I am Professor Joe from at the local college, I teach Physics- the organized study of mater, energy, and their interactions with each other. this is starting to sound like mind over matter. as is your ‘magic’ earlier seemly violated know laws of physics.+’’ with air quotes around magic, something that would be hard to catch right for someone not as experienced with Comprehend Language as Dhav.

‘’Mind over Matter?’’ Dhav ask herself ‘’That would be one way to put it. As for law of physics… we were given permission from your military-‘’

‘’wait, if this magic is some unknown energy- how do we know it’s safe?’’ The Admiral asks. ‘’It might and probably is safe with these people- but tor us?’’

‘’considering that we been flooded with this energy- if that is what this ‘magic’ is.- that we already seen some symptoms among some of our people’’ The man say ‘’it’s to late to do anything other than to see what the effects will be… otherwise I’ll be running experiments to see if there’s a means to detect this magic.’’

‘’We do have magic to detect magic’’ Dhav says ‘’but I’m guessing you’re aiming at something akin to a Gigercounter.’’

‘’indeed. From what been shared so far between you and what the military shared- it sounds to me that magic have some rules. If we know those rules and can measure them- then we can use magic with our technology.’’ A smile forming on he’s face ‘’especially those ‘magic items’. As is we might be able to apply some pre-existing ones to manufacturing processes.’’

‘’Yea’’ Mr Burns say smiling ‘’mage hand alone can be quite useful. Tell me Dhav- what would happen if a mage hand is dip in acid or molten metal?’’

Dhav shrug ‘’I would feel it but in a mute manner. I would feel the pain without the sensation… I don’t think I can adequately explain other than akin to feeling your cloths on you that your use to wearing. You could shoot or stab them and i would know without feeling pain.’’

‘’Ok men, I think this is enough Q and A’’ Senator Strong say ‘’before we do anything, I hope we all agree that our priority is food and fuel. Thankfully among the mothball fleet is plenty of oilers and smaller cargo ships we believe we can utilize in quick order and economically. Without fuel we can’t use these vessels and we will run out of liquid fuel in about a month to month and a half, this will also hamper our food production. As for food- with rationing we will run out in five and a half months if we do nothing to expand production.’’

‘’That will put you in winter, nearly sowing time’’ Dhav added ‘’it does snow around here.’’

‘’And by the collage’s estimates’’ the physics professor added ‘’we are in a climate similar to Virginia or southern Washington with the added joys of hurricanes.’’

‘’I do not know what those areas are- but we do get hurricanes from time to time’’ Dhav commented.

‘’So- plan A, we send a ship laden with trade goods and with a delegation to this ‘GranitHold’ and barter for fuel. We got plenty of containers to fill it with, as well as whatever drilling devices we can put together on short notice or scrounged up. They do have slavery and their iconography is oddly… earth like, reminds me of Rome or of Mussolini’s Italy. But we believe that they are operating independently of Shining Imperial authority.’’ The Senitor says ‘’Plan B is to send a ship to WheatHold and barter for food. It looked undermanned defensively and we saw a number of ‘monsters’ stalking the farmland, either way we will be sending a few marines and other available armed personnel for protection.’’

‘’person portable weapons should be more than enough to deal with anything the locals could put together’’ the General states ‘’and if they are willing, we do have a local guide to aid us.’’

‘’I assume we mayors have a flat vote?’’ Carson asks.

‘’Each mayor and the reservation will have a vote’’ the Senator says ‘’let’s face it- we are in this boat together. Us Americans, any poor foreigner or tourist who was here when this happened. Even to a degree any Wonderlander who decides to help us. even if we want to repeat something like Japanese Interment or Trail of Tears- we have far to few people to pull it off without shooting off our own legs.’’

The Admiral sighs ‘’as soon as we decide, orders will be sent out to start the operation, if they would agree we also plan on sending some of the Wonderlander Six. Sooner we send them out- the more time we have to properly address the looming issues’’

The American decided;

>> Send a ship to GraniteHold
>> Send a ship to WheatHold.

Optional;

Dhav ask (you can ask up to two questions)

>> ‘’Do I want to know what ‘Japanese Interment’ is?’’
>> ‘’what sort of pay are you offering?’’
>> ‘’what details can you share about what is being sent?’’
>> write in

>>6315449
>> Send a ship to GraniteHold

>> "Do I want to know what ‘Japanese Interment’ is?"
>> ‘’what details can you share about what is being sent?’’

We still have five month's worth of food but only a month's worth of fuel.

Vote counted.

>>6316254
Amounts are Based on the Americans best estimates.

>>6316254
Different fuels could also have different amounts of. We could have big tanks of bunker oil for the ships, but you can't put that into a vehicle. Same for diesel, petroleum, avgas and so on.
There's also the question of refining capacity. If we manage to get hold of a supply of crude from somewhere, that's only going to be good for ship engines in a pinch without a refinery and they are expensive and complex facilities to make from scratch if there isn't one with us, not to mention additives and other inputs that go into refining. We may be better off substituting coal since every city will have a gasification plant and combustion engines can be modified to burn gas, as was done during the war and still is in places.

1/3

Dhav look at the Admiral. ‘’+Two questions- one, do I want to know what ‘Japanese Interment’ is, and what can you share about what is being sent over.+’’

The admiral look uncomfortable once more but explain clinically ‘’+Japan was a nation that attacked us during a great conflict we call ‘World War Two’. In the previous decades a large number of their citizens left Japan to move to America to… well, become Americans. But when we were attacked we made the controversial decision to gather about eighty thousand of them from their communities and put them in camps to contain and only released them after the war was over.+’’

‘’+How long ago was this World War Two?+’’ Dhav ask with hesitation.

‘’+It ended in 1945, currently by our calendar its 1949+’’ the man stated. ‘’+Please understand, It was a war that saw tens of millions dead around our planet. A entire content leveled by fighting armies all armed with variants of the weapons you seen at the base. It only ended at the use of the most awesome and terrifying weapon we have ever actually deployed in war and led my men who was already drawing up plans to defend from a third world war+’’

‘’+They were treated well+’’ Carson stated flatly. ‘’+At least better than those Japs treated our boys in the Philippines-+‘’

The Admiral lift a hand to stop the argument. ‘’+please, after we are done, as is Dhav have a time limit on her ability. Now as for what we are going to bring to trade. Mainly textiles, tools, some machinery namely older farming equipment we can replicate.+’’

the general read a list on he’s desk. ‘’+Alcohol, a diversity of legal narcotics both medical and recreational, Some examples of medical tools, gems, precious metals, industrial metals, basically a load of trade goods and a cross section of what we can make and can teach them.+’’

‘’+plus a unit of soldiers for security armed with everything from rifles and pistols to flame throwers, mortars, rocket propelled grenades, granade lunchers, and a collection of elephant guns.+’’ The Admiral added ‘’+we are taking your mention of ‘monsters with magical abilities’ very seriously Dhav. If we bump into Cthulhu out there- we want our boys to at minimum to be able to preform a fighting retreat.+’’

‘’+are we still strapping depth charges to the ship?+’’ The General ask the Admiral to which the Admiral nod smile

‘’+Captain Nemo wished he have half the stuff we are packing for this.+’’ The head of the American navy seems to jest ‘’+Is it overkill? Yes, but we also have zero data for the effectiveness of our technology against magically aided forces and creatures. I much prefer to learn sooner rather than later that bullets do nothing against man eating harpies and unicorns or whatever is out there+.’’

>>6316935

‘’+Not to mention a collection of experts+’’ Mr Burns added. ‘’+we have a shopping list longer than I am tall and some of the stuff we can’t just describe and hope for the best. Things like ores, minerals, or exsodic plants with recognizable effects that we could use+’’

‘’+wait wouldn’t the crude oil only be good for the ships?+’’ One of the mayors ask

‘’+We could probably build a kerosene distillery pretty quickly+’’ the reservation rep suggested ‘’+it’s a hundred year old tech and would get us gasoline for the smaller engines and cars, butane for welding, and a mixture of other fuels, and was simple enough that there use to be a ton of small distillery companies+’’

‘’+We only shut down the coal gasification plant last month+’’ the Mayor of Abraham added ‘’+we should be able to get it restored in short order+.’’

‘’+we are already going over The mothball fleet for ships we can sacrifice+’’ the Admral stated ‘’the biggest threat out there we identified are wooden sailing ships, but we do plan on keeping at least some destroyers in case someone use magic to industrialize faster than expected.’’

‘’So- I say we vote. Who here vote to go to Granithold?’’ The mayor of Abraham say

10 hands go up

‘’and WheatHold?’’

2 hands go up.

‘’oil it is.’’

‘’ok Dhav I believe that is all’’ the Admral say to the Wizard ‘’in a few minutes I’ll have someone get you to the ship being prepared. Your’ll be issued back your equipment on the ship.’’

‘’+Thank you Admiral+’’ the Wizard nodded ‘’come on girls- we got another job’’

‘’What is it?’’ Red asks the Wizard

‘’We are taking a ship to Granithold with some of their people. They want to buy ground oil so they can grow food’’ Dhav answers. ‘’Oh- and once more- I am convinced these people are crazy.’’

The party is led to a different room of this city hall. A series of scribe offices currently being used to store the Wonderlander six as they wait for transport.

Rowan seem to be trying to read two American books at once.

‘’What are you reading?’’ Olitic ask.

‘’Bible, the holy book of these Christian’s’’ Rowan answered ‘’there was a note here for where specific stories are in this book.’’

‘’So- anything interesting?’’ Red asks

‘’if Jehovah ever ask us to sacrifice someone for whatever reason, keep a eye out for a alternative sacrifice’’ Rowan says ‘’This ‘monotheism’ thing is sure stra-‘’

‘’ROWAN!’’

A little American girl run up and hug the paladin.

‘’hey Marry- still speaking Common?’’ The paladin greet the little girl. ‘’Did your dad do the spell again?’’

‘’Nope’’ the girl answered. ‘’It was just like yesterday. Even got to talk to some… Colbolts over the radio. They sound funny’’

>>6316936
‘’I didn’t, the Coast Guard did.’’ Marry say ‘’umm- some ships got close to us. I helped convince a ship full of grain to go here to trade’’

Red chuckle ‘’budding little negotiator.’’

The girl look at Red in awe ‘’cool’’ then look at the other nonhumans ‘’it’s like I am around…. Umm- Room Foreigners?’’ She ask- seemly not sure of the phrase then look at Olitic ‘’are you a dragon?’’

‘’Close- I’m a Dragonborn’’ the bard say with a smile.

‘’stay away from her’’ Red jest ‘’she’s a bad influence.’’

‘’sward calling the dagger sharp’’ the bard retort.

‘’Not denying that’’ Red offered in defeat.

While awaiting for transport, Dhav;

>> use her comprehend language to read a American text (available; 1984 <Rowan>, Uncle Toms Cabin <Olitic>, History of Guns <Red>, A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court <Elidi>)
>> ask Marry a question (write in, can ask one or ask two if you forgo skimming one of the books)
