The Oddestsey II: Return to Odd

So the Sucker is missing, presumed dead, because people are too concerned with cutlery to go looking for a giant fish? :proud:

I guess three of us can take a fishing rod each and see if we can catch the catfish? :proud:

Dirge doesnt need much so he goes to pick up the sea star and bring it to the house. Maybe the sea star can get some water there.

Baron Update:

- Investigate the vehicle in the external shed.
- Find out what frequency the radio functions on and look at programming that wave length into my PDA, someone else can have the radio then.

Brutus suggests sending someone with wings to see if they can see fish boy as he stuffs another trout in his gob.

Frank agrees to go out and find the fish seeing as his electric can drive back the shadow thingies. As he leaves, he mutters something about having to do everything around here.

The Baron goes out to the shed and finds it not as expected. The shed is rather hi-tech and brightly lit and from waist height to the top of the wall is lined with tiny polycarbonate vials, thousands of them.

There are a number of different labels on the different vials (and there are five of each) but the most notable of the thousands present ones are

Five person ice-vehicle
Hot air balloon (three persons)
Emergency rations
Defensive items
Yaught
Scout drone

There are also numerous ones labelled with names similar to the different trees mentioned in the ledgers.

At the other side of the room there are three small satchels which all contain two bottles of liquid (one labelled reducer, one labelled restorer) and a tiny durable plastic storage system which could hold 30 pea sized items each.

The bags are have the words Hank Ps Ultimate storage stitched onto the lid. A small piece of paper in the bag states will not work on animals, do not use in enclosed spaces, do not mix solutions

Frank flies over the woods, the fact it is still dark makes it difficult to see in general, but he simply follows the trail in the snow back through the night, wary to remain above ground level - the whispering keeping its distance from the glowing electricity form.

After tracing it back a while he finds the point where the Sucker vanished - all the other jumped over one of the ledges but somehow the Sucker never came down. The ledge seems to extend right round this side of the mountain, and looks like it represents the river level in the distant past. However, there is no sign of a struggle, and the only thing strange is that above a small part of the ground he suddenly feels violently sick, nothing physical but just everything seems more claustrophobic with an intense feeling of wrongness. There is no sign as to the fate of the fish.

Tip
If I drop in a pop culture reference it generally will potentially have some significance, although you dont have to follow it up.

First things first, the Prof will investigate the stuffed echidna head and gloat over it a little. :proud:

Im still a little overwhelmed by everything, so I guess Ill just take the binoclulars, the biros, the nuts and bolts and washers etc and check out the tools left behind. Maybe the Prof can aid Baron Oxide with some tinkering in the shed. Those vials sound most interesting.

Tarein will peek into the shed and see whats going on.

Interested in the defensive items, rather. Ask the Prof. (nicely) for advice.

Baron Update:

- Im guessing the reducer and restorer are effectively a shrinking chemical and a un-shrinking chemical, which would make it rather handy to carry around a 5 person ice vehicle in ones pocket. Id like to collect these chemicals, possibly study them to see if it is possible to synthesis them, could be a handy item to have, and know how to make. Ill also collect the 6 stated vials.
-Would like to request the Prof joins me in this tech shed, he might find it as enticing as I do.
