Woods, Wendigo, Stertle, and Archfey. I am a slow human. You guys all posted.
I want to stop apologizing for not being online enough, but sorry anyways.
Is there anything that any of your characters wanted to do that required me?
And Dutch, I will get to the thieves today.

*We just wanted to explore the town. Do you want to give some guidelines about what we might find?*
*Yeah! Let's maybe have you guys make a check, whatever skill you think is appropriate, and I'll tell you what you find*
Investigation Check 7 + 1
We'll wait until Woodsgirl posts, but, you both start walking and exploring. *This is Flint, right?* Flint notices, while going down a narrow street, a shabby cobblestone building with a decently built grey tiled roof called Hair to Stay.

As soon as Flint lands at the bottom of the drain, he immediately looks more relaxed. No more squinting in the bright light or generally looking out of place. There are a few nets scattered about across the channel, to collect anything that he might be able to sell on. There are rats pretty much everywhere. 'The closest place to heaven you'll find in this world' Flint says.
'It really is. Ya wanna see the best bit?' Flint slides into the slimy water and swims towards a small opening into a pipe that leads downwards. 'Don't worry, it's perfectly safe. Unless you've got a constitution as weak as my muscles' He is then flushed down the pipe by the current.
The pipe dumps them out with a splash in a shadowy chamber. Across from them, there is a pipe spilling water that looks almost clean. 'Holy water. Contaminated, but still carries its blessing. Consecrating even the foulest filth down here' Next to the holy water pipe is a tattered mat for meditation, and a broken skeleton on the floor
"Ok, I like the confidence!" He motions for you to follow him to the kitchens.
*gtg for now, see ya!*
The imp follows him.
The kitchens are bustling with employees, everyone fairly busy, but not enough for it to be stressful. Delicious smells fill the air, mixing together pleasantly.
"Here we are!" James shows you all if the basics of the kitchens. It's not too complicated. "Do you know how to cook decently?"
"Yes. I, uh, had to cover for employees that didn't do their jobs right. You know how devils are: ever picky, never satisfied."
"Exactly! So, usually, when I hire new cooks, I let 'em make me something, anything, and I'll try it. If I like it enough, I'll even put it on our menu! I also do it just to see where you're at skill-wise. That sound good?"
The imp is working in the kitchen. He sure knows how to hustle.
The imp has prepared an odd-looking dish. It is clearly meant to be haute cuisine, but none of the ingredients are identifiable as what they originally were.
Wait, wait... there's some pasta, sort of... and that is almost certainly meat... and that may be a sliced root vegetable... are those bones?...
Its closest cousin in human cuisine would most likely be some hybrid of a croissant and a spring roll, but the relationship is very distant.
'You bet you are. The skeleton's called Bob, by the way. Sometimes I talk to him about the big questions in life. He's great for that. A good listener'
“Ooh. That sounds amazing.”

“That would be great! Another question, is it sunny here often?”
'Unfortunately, yes.' He prises open a grating in the street and slides down.

They look genuinely scared for a few moments before climbing down with them.

“It’s perfect.”
*I'm back for a little bit*
Hustle is at the karaoke bar again, singing his little black heart out.
Let him who is without sin cast the first stone.
Awake, impure, divine

They follow. They seem even more comfortable in the water.

“Wow, why is there a pipe with holy water in it?”
'It was an old holy spring from the Temple that got diverted down here. Where else would the water go? It's one of my favourite places'

“Interesting. I think I’m going to like it here.”
James scoots closer to the table in his chair, inspecting the dish curiously. He takes a tentative bite. *does he like it?*

“I’d imagine he doesn’t talk that much?”
'Nah, not really. But I imagine what he says. So in a way, I'm just talking to myself, not talking to a corpse, so I'm really completely sane'

“Makes sense.”
