She sets up camp with her magic and places a spell for any attack that may come. You see that she works a sweat with all this magic and says "Well i'm pooped darlin. It's time to hit the hay" She yawns snapping her fingers magically turning her leafs into comfortable looking pajamas that are oversized and baggy for her. With that perception check you just feel she may be just tired or something, but the scent of the perfume has gotten weaker. Maybe due to a hards day work. You guys spend the night. I am gonna throw a cruve ball at ya. What do you think sully would be thinking/dreaming of as he closes his eyes and sleeps for the night.

The bird swipes the 7 Jewels and says "skraa thank you for your capitalist patronage skraa. The bar you look for is called 'Gold Mine' and its on a corner of Town Square. Look for the smallest most dingy bar and thats the one skraa. Now leave I'm missing my sweet jams for this skra." He places his headphones on immeadiately turning his phone to its highest volume and starts banging his head. you can make out some lyrics from the song from the loud volume (imagine these lyrics being sung screamo style) "...When you have wings but you cant fly SKRAA! There are other ways to get high!..." The voice in the song sounds weirdly familiar.

OOC: Yes there are firearms in this universe. anything that exists within the world of disney animation exists in this world. So like lazer guns from Treasure Planet definitely would be found in this world. Especially were you are. This is also a chance to come up with a weapon as well if you like. These gnomes are highly proficient in what they do so they could make pretty much anything within the realm of reason of course. Even if it is a crude version of it.

They pull a lever, which activates a shoe on a stick making it kick a hen, that then produces an egg which runs down a track falling into a hot pan (breaking it's shell in the process), when the egg is done cooking a time goes off flipping the pan maling the egg fly across the room landing in a non sentient monkey's mouth which then grabs the items tossing them over his back. Half of them don't make it to the counter, but appearantly this has happened before because there is a little trampoline built on the floor which bounces the products that didn't make it all the way to the counter. As your sensors watch this every part of the process comes up in red on your visor and in your head you hear repeatedly "Inefficient. Inefficient". Pop says here you are son! How much of each ya want?" There is a bunch of rope, pitons weapons and a couple lengths of chain as well. Now which kinda weapon suits ya buddy?" You see a wide variety of weapons. There are different types of guns that have had some modifications done (if you want a different type that is not a revolver thats okay as well), there are big swords that seem to have had technological modifications as well and and a couple other things like daggers and such. All the weapons are futuristic in one sense or the other so they would not have outdated stuff like bows and arrows or crossbows either.

You work yourself to calm down. Make an arcana check to see if you can get your magic under control, cause the ice is still growing and it almost looks like a piece of armor? The bartender looks with a big question mark on his face "I haven't heard of such a place love. I'm sorry to be of now help... there is... one or two people I know that would know where to point you if what you look for is not widely known... There is a bar down the road that some shady people reside in that know all types of hidden knowledge. You could always go to the Archive down the road and just look it up on the internet" He says that last word as if it was the name of a God.

OOC: You most certainly can! I love the idea actually. Speaking of magic and stuff, do you think Cheshire would try to hide the Bill Cypher tattoo once he leaves the forrest or no?

As you start singing the others do as well, the Hatters eyes start to corss by themselves and his tongue sticks out of his mout as he starts to clap along " And you are a good kit kitty kat-kat! I could bring your form bang right now if only I had my special tea cup. But I lent it to a borrower who borrowed my lent tea cup without returning what was borrowed the lent item has been gone for so long now " He gets a bit sad remembering his precious teacup, but immediately smiles at you " Thats where you come in my furry feline friend. I am not allowed to leave this forrest unfortunately. And I need someone who can i.e.o.U! Go retrieve my teacup from the Barkeep  in the tavern called Gold mine in the Wild distric where wild things are tame and tame things are wilder than wild things are tame."

As may be evident books are not a super fan of flames so the book you cast your firebolt on goes up in smoke and only one books remains. The book that is left flapst its pages faster and attacks you once more.

Attack:20 Damage: 4

Luke heads back to the town square and looks around for a building labeled "Gold Mine" checking each corner of town square for a small dingy bar. He berates himself for going down that alley in the first place and not just assuming a Dwarves' bar would be named something like that. He can't help but chuckle at the bird's "sweet jams", wondering if the bird was in fact, listening to himself.

OOC: I laughed out lout with that hahah! 
It's actually even more funny however that what you just said triggers another very important roll give me an insight or history check with advantage since Calhoun is actually gonna give you the help action here which is not something she ever does. Jim and Calhoun take the cigarretes and they are lit using Calhoun's blade. They take a deep drag and as they do the bartender knocks his plastic fists 3 times on the bartop which makes an elemental appear that brings and ashtray to the table.  "Keep the tables clean for once will ya!" he shouts from the bar.
Calhoun lays back on the chair and says " So... Redek. What would you say to a challenge. If you complete it I will personally place you in the Royal Guard and train you along with young Jim here". Jim perks up and says " You mean I get to whoop this old mans ass daily? Sweet!" Calhoun just stares at him coldly without responding to that stupi question. Her looks gaze back to you. You can't help, but admire her fierce cold blue eyes that show her beauty from before she had the scar on her face. "So what do you say to the Major Redek? I recommended you and I seem to have done a good job. You canjust go back to your day job and live your life as a townsguard there is no shame on that. And if you are worried about being old, old man... there are plenty of worriers that are plenty older than you that are way tougher than you can imagine."

She gives a big grin showing a couple gold teeth that you can only assume are replacements from ones lost in battle and says "Finally! I knew I had a feeling about you Junior! Good I have an interview with another candidate that my underling has brought to my attention. I want you to come so I don't have to waste any time explaining myself twice. If there is one thing you should never make me do is repeat myself... are we clear Junior?" She waits for your answer and then says " Meet us at the bar next door around 7pm and pack everything. You wont be going back to the stables love." She writes a 'letter' with her knife on a piece of wood (it burns the letters in) and gives it to you "Hand this to your commander." the 'letter' says "Hathi Jr. is to be treated as dead and will be under my care. An order from Major Calhoun".
She calls your attention before you leave "Before you leave... what kind of weapon do you fancy love?"

Give me a survival check with advantage as you would know more or less the way to go. Also you can make a animal handling check with advantage since you will actively be trying to make the horse healthier.

((OOC: I know you said no live action movies come into play, trying to keep it on the animated variants. What about an animated weapon FROM a live-action movie? Specifically the toon gun (revolver) with the toon bullets from Who Framed Roger Rabbit?))

"The rope. 100 feet. Pitons. 10. Basic smithing tools. And that weapon. What is the cost?" Externally Tik-tok had produced absolutely no reaction to the obscure and overcomplicated method the gnomes had for calling inventory. After the various items landed on the counter, or thereabouts, he simply pointed to them and listed those he wanted. He did so in the same nonchalant manner, as he would, had the gnomes simply carried the items over to him without any theatrics whatsoever.

Regardless of the price, Tik-tok then runs an analysis for relying on a weapon that expends its usefulness. "The ammunition for the weapon; is it difficult to manufacture?"

Managing to stay out of the way of another attack by the remaining animated book, Zagga concentrates, traces his rod through the air and fires another bolt of flame at the book.

Hit:18

Damage: 3

Insight at advantage: 18

"Redek does not move for a long moment. His desire to become a Royal Guard is mixed with trepidation.

Some see the royal guard as more royalty and less guardian. 

Some see them as the keepers of all the realms secrets. 

Others still see them as the best of the best. 

The truth is always in the middle......

This motionless moment passes and Redek flicks the tip of the cigarette into the bucket. "Alright, I accept your offer. but on one condition." He takes another drag. "We train in the field. not in some boot camp filled with pimple faced boys and girls. I've already seen the worst of the worst. Now lets see your best."

"Understood. I will be there." As Hathi hears this last question, a slow smile spreads across his face, "I'm partial to a greataxe, ma'am."

(I'm assuming that he's dismissed?) Hathi salutes, goes back to his quarters, packs up all his things, which is not much, and tidies up what is left. While he is doing this, he tries to keep his mind clear of thought. It does no good to speculate, better to simply obey orders. For the most part, he's successful at this attempt, but as has become his normal, flashes of terror cross his mind as he is unable to quell the trauma of "the situation" as the major had put it. After every flash, Hathi can feel his heart pounding, the blood pumping with ferocity and thudding in his ears and eyes. He pauses, closes his eyes, and counts to 5, trying to slow his heart down and clear his mind again. "Save that for later," Hathi mumbles to himself. 

After his sleeping area is tidied to his meticulous satisfaction and his gear is packed up, Hathi goes to find Commander Wallace to deliver the note.

You stay awake as long as you can keeping a watch on her peacfully sleep, even letting out small snores during the night. As the night becomes dawn your eyes begin to close even for a little. You fall to sleep for a couple hours and have a dream. You are running toward the great door of the Doorman and no matter how fats or how long you run it just gets further and further and further. You suddenly are transported to a grassy field where you can smell a very familiar perfume, you see Trixie with her back to you with her curly blond hair blowing in the wind. You approach her with a sense of safety and happiness, but as soon as you call her attention she turns and her face is gone. A single eye opens in the middle of her face and a floating top hat appears on her head and in a voice you never heard before starts to sing mockingly " Sulky and Trixie sitting in a tree D-Y-I-I-N-G." and laugh lets out while the grassy field begins to catch fire. You awake sweaty from the nightmare. Trixie brings you some food she has cooked saying "Good mornin sleepy head" with a warm smile. Make another perception check on her.

OOC: I am aware it's not through logic, but its the only check that made sense to me for getting her powers under control. Since arcana (to me at least) isn't necessairly about logic, but about magic as a whole. However I could be tripping haha so let me know what check you believe it should be I definitely am flexible and will trust a more experienced person's (such as you) opinion. And we can re-roll the check or we can keep it as is. Completely up to you.

You find a bar with gold lettering on top that says "Gold Mine" on one of the farthest corners of the Square. When the bird said it was dingy he was not kidding, this place looks almost run to the ground, the "M" from "Gold Mine" is basically hanging from a threat almost falling from the sign, this bar looks like it could hold maybe 12 customers at most. It says "open" and there is only one person inside... behind the bar.

You see he whistles as you leave and a pair of doves fly down and turn into a pair of white gloves that fit you perfectly. "It seems that fits fitted fight fat fought you Cheshire. Now good luck and I will be here waiting. And make sure to tell the Barkeep that I expect a visit from him soon after this" he goes back to singing and eating his unbirthday cake. Unless you want to do something else here make a survival check with advantage since he told you exactly where to go.

OOC: That is definetly something we can do. They wouldn't something that specific but I'm gonna say that they do have something similar where each bullet has a different property if you like. If you wanted to get that specific gun you could search for it in the world because it definitely exists. If this is your weapon let me know cause then I will homebrew the item and send you the specs of each bullet. And let me know if there is a specific stat you would like one or two of the bullets to have so I can catter to your need.

 The Gnomes happily pack everything up besides the gun and say "Well this all would be 5 Jewels but since you are here and you are family we will give to you for 3." Pop looks at the gun you look at and seems confused that its even there. "Well hmm son. You sure you want that one? This here gun can eb a little unruly sometimes especially the bullets it takes."

The book catches flame and is destroyed by your magic. You catch a glimpse of both covers and you see the titles "Cryo Magic and its utilities" By Dr. Árnadalr and " Critter Control Magic" by Billy Bob Jimmy Bob. Archimedes is still unconscious and he seems worse than he was at first. Make a medicine check and a insight(or arcana) check please.

You get a sudden realisation with what you said that this world seems like it was made for children. You are right. And you remember growing up that there were no beat up bars, no poverty (you are literally in a city called The Slums), and especially no violence. You guess that it started so slowly and gradually that you just accepted it as a reality and forgot the olden days of innocence. Something has changed in the long years. The world at large has not been what it was supposed to be for quite sometime.And with your high insight you also see a moment of saddness and agreement on Calhouns face with your statement.

Calhoun lets out a laugh that silences the whole bar "I like your spunk Redek. Challenging me at such an early stage is very amusing indeed. Unfortunately you do have to complete a little task for me before we get to the training. I need you to prove yourself,  and complete a simple task. Go to the Wild District and find the bar named Gold Mine, it is run by a dwarf named Barkeep. We will get you a horse or any other transport you like. I need some info and that there man knows a lot of this world... even more than I do love. Will you do that for me? Also I have a partner for you to take with you if you don't mind. I know he will be of good service. Because I chose him myself."

She gives a big smile at your answer and says "Before you go I will give you a token of my faith love. But if you break it its gonna be your head mounted on the wall are we clear?!" and she goes to the wall and grabs a special greataxe covered with pipes on the handle and runes on the blade "This axe here was made in the future district. It uses its technology and magic to keep its blade forever sharp and if you activate it the results are quite... shocking to whomever is in the receiving end." (OOC:I will send you a PM with the axes stats when In get a chance).

You sleep a dreamless night which for you is unusual, you head out and find Commander Wallace and give him his letter. He softens for a moment and says "Rest in peace Hathi." (he has never called you by your name before) and he salutes you off. Is Hathi going to do anything before going to the bar or is he going straight there? 

Redek thinks back for a moment about some of his previous partners. most of them move on quickly for one reason or another: fired for laziness or doing stupid shit on the clock, political infighting, the occasional promotion, getting killed. 

 It's always something. 

Redek crushes the butt of his roll into the ash tray. "Oh yeah? Whose that?"

He glances around for anyone who might be "the guy."

Luke walks into the bar and greets the bartender. "Hello." he says, taking a mental note of the barkeep. "A friend advised me to come here, suggested that I could learn something about certain recent events if I came."

Hathi thanks her for the greataxe, excitement breaking through his eyes.

If there's time, Hathi would probably go somewhere to test out the axe. If not, he'd go straight to the bar. He wouldn't have any friends or anyone to say goodbye to, he's kept everyone at a distance since the incident.

"Family?" Tik-tok was confused by the word choice, but produced the three jewels.

((OOC: That exact gun isn't necessary, just using it as a point of reference. Tik-tok would be more looking for it as a type of firearm, rather than it as a single specific weapon. More looking for something that could fire ammunition of differing properties.))

"Can a more reliable firearm of this make be produced?" Tik-tok asks, regarding the gun. "I desire a firearm that can be effective for different uses."

You notice that even after the long and uninterrupted rest, the perfume still smells fainter than it was when you first met her and you could swear her skin looked a bit grayish. She frowns and says "I'm fine honey you just need to eat so we can get a move on. If we hurry up a bit we will make it to the wild district before sundown and we can stay comfortably in an inn once there. And as for the nightmare you will be fine big guy... If the person... or people wanted you dead I believe that you would be."
She undoes her magic and starts to pack up the camp to get ready to go.

You leave the Hatter's tea party while humming the Unbirthday song and the path seems to be leading you back to the conglomerate, but you are able to keep yourself in the right direction. And eventually make it to the Wild District in like 2 and a half days when it really should have taken you much less time. You figure you need at least one more day to get to Town Square which is where the bar the Hatter spoke of. But you are now in the Wild District, You have definitely been here before and it still amazing how beautiful this place is. Where the Forrest of Madness is always kind of dark and nightmareish the Wild District is sunny and pleasant with tall trees and the sounds of animals partying and having a good time can be heard from all corners. Do you just go straight, to Town Square or is there something you would like to look for on the way.

She smiles looking at her wrist which has an old pac-man themed wristwatch on it (which besides it being beat up, it does not fit the rest of her look) and says "Oh he will be here soon I am sure of it. You ever work with anyone from the Wild District Redek? Well this 'person' is from there and lets just say their size and strength are not gonna let you down. And I believe your experience will help the young lad grow as well. Would you like one more Ale or anything else while we wait? Or shall we have a bit of a competition love" She smiles a deep almost evil grin and Jim chokes on his ale and says "Really Major? Are we gonna do this now?" and Calhoun stares at him saying "Aw you to scared to play little chicken?" this banter goes on entirely without you, so if there is anything you want to do or ask while you wait for this mysterious person this is the time.

The dwarf who was previously cleaning some glasses in a glum state perks up and gives you a warm welcome saying " Welcome. Welcome to the Gold Mine! The name is Barkeep! Take a seat lad! First ale is on me! And if ya be looking for information this old man knows a secret or two. And I be inclined to help if the cause be good." This dwarf is rosey cheeked with a bald head and a braided white beard. His shirt is too small for his body revealyng his round bely and just where the shirt is you see the end of a scar going up vertically. 

OOC: Im cool with CHA checks and mingling some arcana as well since sorcerers are CHA casters that makes sense to me as well. :)

The ice keeps forming around your body forming a full body armor (with the actual shape of an armor) that leaves you a little slugish and the only place not covered by ice is a slot for your eyes so you are able to see. The barteender speaks up and says "Look hun I don't exactly know whats goin on 'ere, but I'm gonna have to ask you to leave at least for now dear. I hope ya understand I just don't want me customers being afraid you know? A lot has been happening in this District and you can't blame people for being a bit jumpy." With that you notice that all eyes in this bar are focused on you.

You can definitely go and test your new toy (I put it in your character sheet, so make sure you can see it). There is a spot near by with trees and stuff of the sorts that the military occasionally uses for training or you could go for a patrol and see if you find some trouble-makers. You know that The Slums which is where the bar you are gonna meet Major Calhoun is located has a lot of crime and you could probably find some trouble if you looked for it.

OOC:Perfect I can definitely homebrew ammo with different properties for ya. Any specific properties you will like to have?

They smile and say " Well of course bud. You have been mighty nice to these here gnomes so you are already family to us. Do you not have a family pal? Where did your creater go?". They pause looking at the gun and say well " If ya want a gun that can use all kinds of ammo with different attributes this is your gun. And we even got a manual that instructs you on how to make the different type of bullets. Is that something you want bud? And who knows if ya practice a bunch you might even be able to creat bullets with attributes that no one has ever thought of. I'd deffinitely love to see that bud."
