Episode 11a: The Road Not Takes (Part 1)[]
Summary[]
They are still in the Nine Lives Guild tower. On the 6th floor there’s a clockwork creature named Hands Gruber, brother of the Madam. He recognizes Freya and has deep hate for her. They fight, subdue him. They get a gem out of his walking stick and Kaa’Riin swallows it for safety. They also find a piece of twine in a secret compartment. There's mint-smelling perfume bottles all over the room. Minty Bitch and two Nine Lives assassins show up, high jinks ensue. Our heroes get two additional masks so they can proceed incognito.
Flashbacks and Asides[]
Sword's memory - after Freya stole the sword, her and Jorda were chased by the sausage-fingered clockwork man. Freya was stabbed, and fell to the ground. A woman said they hated Freya’s smell, insinuating the woman might be Minty Bitch. Freya was condemned to death when she refused to hand over the sword to the Madam.
Freya's memory of Thine, her godfather. He told her that using the wind of the Orchestral Sands to play a pan flute at the end of the canyons would make Freya’s home appear. It's called the Song of One. He also told her that their home was built on love of their leader, Alasaway, and her Kalashtari husband, Edril. She watched him die, then gave up her own life to hide the Fortress and their people from their enemies.
