Doc has created a summary of Zacharius's story and sketches of the helm, then sent one of Brock's irregulars to deliver the "be on the lookout" message to the Rat King.

Doc has put on his best clothing and looks the very picture of a down-on-his-luck wererat apothecary. His revolver is loaded with spell components and his bandoleer is stocked with 2 shapechange potions and a quick combat drink(good berry) just in case things get rough. He has also brewed up some indigestion cures to serve Brock's kids (the irregulars) .
People tend to overindulge at the pork festival and sometimes cause trouble in the Gay Turnip or harass the downtrodden so Doc is going to patrol the tavern, back alleys, and the more public storm drains and catacombs looking for those in need of help. He will also consult (typically at the Gay Turnip) with his former apprentice Calypso as she provides apothecary services to those who can afford to pay.
*should we intro our companion NPCs as well?*

Let him who is without sin cast the first stone.
May each word that I speak be backed by each of my teeth.
Zacharius and his kid are watching a show fight. Zacharius is explaining the combatants' tactics to Lin, and telling him how, if he were the opponent, he would exploit certain weaknesses in order to win.
Calypso Aegon is a slim shadow elf, slightly below average in height. Her dress is pragmatic, white lab coat over a plain but expensive dress. Her raven black hair is long but bound up on her head with silver combs, and a pair of apothecary goggles is pushed up onto her forehead, with the various magnifying and colored lenses neatly locked back. At her side is a new leather doctors bag slung on a sturdy leather strap.
She is plying her trade at the town’s sole remaining apothecary shop as the junior partner who does most of the work. She will make several ‘house calls’ during the festivities, mostly to deliver simple indigestion or hangover cures. After work she will make her way to the Gay Turnip to discuss any interesting or challenging cases with her mentor Doc O’Hara and drowning the cares of the day with spiced rum tea.
Even when drinking her wit is quick and as sharp as her tongue. Her silver eyes are constantly scanning the room and the other patrons looking for anything interesting or challenging in this boring little town of Vermios.

She can hear an altercation between Lin and some other kids, who are calling him 'Peter Porker' and throwing things at him. He is protesting that he is not fat, he is just well-fed thanks to Zacharius
"Oi, Street Rats! Stop that ruckus or I'll sic the Doc on you! Don't want to be on his bad side, do ye?" Calypso yells, her tone piercing through the noise of the teasing.

*Does anyone actually want to continue this, or is everyone just here out of percieved obligation at this point? Cause only you two have shown up. We don't have enough players to do what I was planning, and no one seems to be responding to my "hey, wanna come play Vermios?" PMs, so I'm kinda stuck. I can make it work if you guys are genuinely interested, but otherwise I may have to shut this down.*
*This will be like my 5th failed pbp at this point, but I'm willing to accept the loss if no one is having fun.*

*I think the gap between character selection and gameplay is to blame. I'm still interested but I understand not wanting to run a game for 2-3 players.
Proposed: start a new version of the campaign and start immediately after character selection, with Doc, Auburn , and Zacharius getting an automatic selection.*

*Okay, I'm gonna try this again at some point in the near future, but for now, this thread is closed. I love you all, but I need more players and more time to prep.*
