Tying up loose ends and unraveling others

Noon: These guys sure do know a lot of important people. First they went to gloat at the Pythagoreans. They tried to get some information out of them, but they just got a lot of stupid aphorisms. Very little cliché chance here.

They have a lich that they are able to just convince to do whatever they like. They traded him for some weirdo and gave him ‘spell shape’ in case he needed it. In exchange he told them to look for some kinksters in India called Hindra. There was a general agreement to try not to kill one another in future encounters. I guess they like that kind of thing, so I can probably let my guard down.

I took a tour of their city, a pretty weird place. I ate some food that clearly this stomach is not equipped to handle—ugh. What is wrong with Diogenes?

They talked to some guy named Lao who asked them to protect a thing. In exchange he told them that Bishamon was not Bishamon, but V. I mean, they extrapolated that last bit. Zombres, for all his street stupids is kind of smart in a conspiracy theoretical sort of way.

Anyway, Vee had some sword that could kill gods—kirs of King Angrok. I’d LOVE to get Diogenes’ hands on that thing.

After some unpleasantries they talk to some god who sings them a stupid riddle. They should have taken that sword from Vee. I’ll bet the gods give you a lot more helpful riddles when you have a thing like that in your hands

Finally, they permitted me the honor of smashing a gem with an ape-berzerk-demon-thing trapped inside. He almost killed me when we got out, but I guess he had some information about the location of continents that Zombres wanted.
