## Episode Summary

* After reviewing the plan, Kallas and Dagna enter the Teardal Inn in the Rainbow Wastes. Tinker is inside, alive and well, and seemingly with no idea he had been reported dead. He says he's made an unsavory deal for wealth, and now he needs help with a small adventure. He has a key to a door he is likely not "pure" enough to open himself. He offers the group thousands of gold for their help. Dagna senses that something's off, and upon further questioning, Tinker reveals he's been enslaved as part of a deal, and that he needs a lamp that contains a being his master wants to square his debt. The rest of the group is called to join them, Tinker buys them a room, and Cam sets up his cabin in the room. They go over the proposition again, and Tinker adds that they need to find the diamond in the rough, speak a password, and enter without looking and then touch nothing but the lamp once inside, or they will die. Kallas notices a black mark on Tinker's palm. Tinker leaves, and the party speculates on his supposed death and the mission.
* Dagna goes down to the tavern with Boone and performs, earning 78 gold and a silver flute pin, allowing her to perform anytime. Cyrus attempts caricatures at the bar, but all he can paint is the skyline of Jildos.
* Kallas finds Tinker and they discuss the black mark, the price of Tinker's deal. They both promise to protect each other if they can.

## Memorable Quotes

Cam: Oh. We settled on screaming and fire. Got it.

Sean: You would ballpark it somewhere in the range of 1000-4000 gold pieces.
Kyle: That is a hell of a range, okay. Um, okay. Well, who...... I'm just like, eyeballing the bag real quick - (Cam's voice) Who are we killing?

## Trivia

* Kyle got inspiration for pulling out the magic carpet for use in the Aladdin adventure.
* The silver flute pin is a reference to The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss.
* Cyrus rolled a matt 1 for painting caricatures.
