## Session 13: Ruby Castles and Emerald Groves

### **Major Events:**

As soon as they enter the castle, Edamame Senpai sprints towards the central castle, with Aldo keeping up to make sure he doesn't get into trouble, the rest of the gang trying to keep up, and Chalamastia pretending she doesn't know anyone. When they arrive at the gate, Edamame tries to ask the guard through Aldo to open the gate, but when the guard refuses, Edamame becomes very snippy and rude. Chalamastia and Aldo attempt to reason with Edamame, when eventually Chalamastia tricks the guard into letting them in.

They all tromp in, handing their weapons to the guards before being led up to Ms Cal's lab. Uvo eats the upholstery. When they're led to the lab, Edamame instantly begins berating Raz for information, with Levi and Chalamastia then arguing over the best way to try to gain information. Uvo takes the time to take some drugs, which make him begin to float and trip out. Eventually, Edamame is able to convince Raz to show him the singular tree in the whole city, and when they get there, they see it's a giant oak tree growing pear like fruits.

Raz warns them that touching the tree will get them all killed, and Edamame, Uvo and Cricket instantly rush to touch the tree, with Aldo blocking their way. As Aldo holds them back, Chalamastia begins flirting with Raz, who then begins to flirt back. They all strike up a conversation about Raz's friends, a god and a dead gnome, when Edamame climbs the tree, and begins to explore it. He finds the fruit are edible, but their cores contain a hunk of Wakabayashi Steel Ore. Raz asks Edamame how he's able to eat it, as everyone who has tried before has died, to which he comments that only those with his blood can craft it without calamity, so he would assume the same would apply to the fruits. Cricket instantly starts trying to eat the fruit.

Edamame asks about the history of the town, and who planted the tree, but Raz either doesn't know or won't say, but does invite everyone present to join a tea party with her patron, which is set to start in seven hours. Chalamastia and Raz then go for a "house tour" where they will "start and finish" in the bedroom, Uvo goes to take drugs to then speak to his patron god, and Aldo and Edamame go to the library, where they research the founding and history of the town.
