Notes: 
Carlisle's Head redo for Dalton. Bernard says to trust Strike for the fight. Smoke thing took Gently's armor off, there's an eye symbol on his armor. Smoke monster turns into Lord Desmond's image who says he possessed Strike to engineer business decisions. He disappears and makes other smoke monsters that we fight. We learn that Bernard has the slam ability. Wahoo, we win the fight. 
We go to the hospital wing to find the goblin bodies, Champ gets a loud slinky from the third floor and the teleportation circle is discussed. Champ also gets an armless lizard plushy and Strike gets a locket that opens to a different picture each time. As we're walking, the robots have question marks on their screens rather than faces and they don't attack. They wave back. The hospital room is bigger on the inside with goblins magically sleeping in rows of beds. Champ goes to kiss on and nothing happens. Bea asks a robot goblin in the hallway where the machine went and they said it was signed off and taken away. Bea sends Dircc, Champ, and Strike to the admin office to look for a paper trail, Bea takes Gen with her to her bedroom and office to look for anything else. 
Champ immediately pickpockets Strike and takes everything he has, and Dircc readies an action to punch Block if he notices. Champ throws out the Werthers candies he takes, but keeps everything else - the helm and lantern of revealing. Champ bribes Block with one of the Werthers. They find HR forms about the robotification procedure, turning goblin essence into robots. Dircc takes takes forms from Block, gives them to Champ and tells him to run. Strike casts grease but it doesn't work and Champ gets away. 
"Do you want to guess if I like elves or not?" Dircc is racist towards Strike, then Strike is racist right back at him. Rock tells Dircc to cool it, says he can punch him once, Dircc punches Strike while holding Rock but misses. Gently tries to bribe Dircc/buy his friendship but realizes he's been robbed. 
Champ gets a message from Greg; he's trapped in a room but where's Gork? Greg went to talk to friends of Beholders and cult, they were going to give him information on Beholders. Champ starts running out of the factory towards the gates to find his dad. Gen hears and follows the child. Bea continues searching her room/office and finds ledgers showing Wumpus funds signed out to random accounts by DR (Dol Rhevtield) in Emon, Zadash, and Vasselheim. She also reads her last journal entry from five years ago saying she was traveling to Tal Dorei, but no further information. 
Strike Gently slips on his own grease. 
Bea gets into another fight with Strike who refuses to sign her contract, so she Dimension Doors to the front gate to catch Champ. "I don't want to be left alone with you" Strike says to Dircc. Dircc glares back. Strike ends up sitting on the bed with Dircc drinking whiskey together. Dircc says he grew up in a community tribe and Strike tells him about Ayn Rand. He tries to drive a wedge between the group but Dircc simply does not understand what is happening. They rejoin the group outside the factory. 
Bea punches Strike for "killing Champ's dad" and Dircc catches Champ and DISGUISES HIMSELF AS GREG TO TALK TO CHAMP. Gently steals his helm back. Champ believes Dircc. Bea casts sending to Greg with no response. We remember where Greg said he was going (Jorns & Jackson) and Dircc sends Roverrandom (who is a wolf) there to find Greg. Greg had called in a favor with Jorns & Jackson and they were about to hand him papers before two cloaked figures walked in and started burning the place down. Gork is with Greg locked in the back room, and the vision ends. 
We tell Champ we have a lead on the cult, but before we leave, Bea gives Bernard the papers and blueprints and tells him to sort through and report back. He suggests a 50/50 custody split with Strike until the situation can be resolved, and Bernard will keep the peace. Whatever. Bea gives Strike the option to fuck off or join in town, he fucks off. "You do have legal rights to this place, but it is her vampiric lair" - Marina. 
Once at Jorns & Jackson, Dircc throws his body through a window and enters the burning building. He sees a burning body (not Greg) and essentially sees the quest track with his Witcher sense. Gen sees conjuration magic all over the place and follows it down an alley to a the remnants of a Dimension Door. Bea casts Dimension Door on Dircc straight up so he can get a bird's eye view of the town. Strike shows up, I guess he got bored or something. Bea casts featherfall on Dircc which allows him to slow down enough to see a teleportation circle outside of city walls - the culprits. 
Gen gets a message from her mom. "Papa is worse, it won't be long now."
