Episode 228 - Traps and Treasures

With Nareev steadily falling to the warm and inviting location we like to call ‘The Ground” the gang has to frantically solve their current gravity issues. The lives of tens of thousands of innocent people and thousands of more-or-less innocent goo people rest in the hands of our heroes.

## **Story**

In the book, Toby reads instructions on how to unlock the Globe of Navigation, and there is a whole section on bringing Soloni back. His spirit seems to be residing in another dimension right now, and they could somehow open a portal to bring his spirit back. Toby makes an image of himself appear at his parents house to warn them to leave their home, or Glaine altogether, and they only have 40 minutes, and to tell everyone else to leave as well. This is Toby 3. Toby can look through Toby 3's eyes, but he has to not be looking through his own to do it, so Jaela carries him. She really wants to kill Jett Razor.

Eleanor knows where the next item they need to get is, Soloni's helmet: in the armory. Toby comes to, and says that the Tidtowne Terrors are down there helping everyone! Toby 3 is being carried by Shank and Bone! They get down to the basement, where the armory is, but the door is locked. Toby Misty Steps his way into the armory. Toby unlocks the door. Eleanor leads them to the helmet, and Toby "Abu"s things by grabbing a scroll and suddenly, swords come flying off the walls at them. But it's not that big a deal, because the Ätlän-tã Fælcons destroy them all.
