[i]He texts back, “The only bar anyone here goes to: Blaze’s.”[/i]
-
I text back "fair enough" and head to the bar
-
[i]You find him sitting at the bar with a shade that looks like him patting him on the back. He is drinking the bars cheapest beer and crying.[/i]
-
I sit next to him "what seems to be the issue?"
-
[i]He cries something indecipherable and goes back to drowning his sorrows. “The shade looks at you and says,[/i] “His lead general and best friend just took over his army and declared him a traitor.” [i]He says with a sad expression.[/i]
-
"That doesn't sound like a very friendly thing to do" I say as I order a glass of beer "what army?"
-
“He runs a army called the Wolves in three systems. I believe the last piece of news about them was a victory against the pirate planet of Araini. Big thing.”
-
I receive my drink and take a sip "well what are we gonna do?"
-
[i]He suddenly sobers up and says, “We have to ask [u]him[/u].” He says drunkenly.[/i]
-
I down my drink then pay for it "let's get going, though slowly so as to let the alcohol ware off"
-
[i]He opens a portal, then trips and falls through. “Yeesh.” The shade says.[/i]
-
[spoiler]is he drunk or is the shade drunk?[/spoiler] I step through
-
[spoiler]Him. The shade is his servant.[/spoiler] [i]You emerge into a room modeled after a Victorian living room. A man in era clothing is sipping tea in a large backed chair. The Wolfkeeper seems to have sobered up immediately simply by being in his presence. You too, feel no effects of your drinks, and also feel like talking in a British accent.[/i]
-
"Hello"
-
“Wolfkeeper, Araxinus. Other.” [i]The man says in what is most likely the silkiest British accent you will ever hear.[/i] “Let me guess. You’re here about the Wolves? Well, unfortunately, I can’t help you with that. You’re just going to have to take care of Star Gazer yourself. Oh, also, hello there, I’m the Dealer.” [i]He politely nods.[/i]
-
I look over at wolf keeper "so, whats the plan?"
-
“I operate by, ‘if I can’t have it, no one can.’ So, the plan is blow all of my former stuff up. Destroy them.” [i]He says maliciously.[/i]
-
"A bit blunt but eh I get the feeling this friend of yours deserves it"
-
“I prefer bluntness. Hurts more. And my ‘friend’? I’m going to make him a slave like Araxinus.” “Hhm, I like it.” [i]The Dealer says.[/i]

-
“I was thinking we destroy a Wolf mining ship hovering around a abandoned moon. They’re planning to eat it. Mortal Engines style. So, let’s blow it up!”
-
"Se we are gonna blow up a moon?"
-
“No! The ship! And I know just how to do it.”
-
"How?"
-
[i]He makes a blueprint of the ship appear.[/i] “This is the main mining room.” [i]He points to a large room towards the front.[/i] “They have massive grinders that mine up the planet, but they’re all connected. If one jams up or breaks, they all stop. So, we simply break one of the grinders by throwing a very large proverbial wrench in, and the ship is useless.”
