### Summary

The players met with Alazeem on the empty plot of land, surrounded by materials. Alazeem requested that the players do some simple tasks: Properly shop for snacks, and party favors Construct the costumes for gremlins and dragons, as well as make some sticks, toy bows, and rubber arrows Built the NPC huts, Gremlin Layer, and Tower with aesthetic volcano background Set up the festival fireworks, on-site cameras, and the special effects for the volcano The runners assisted in building the terrain, with Jean being the head of their team for construction! Alazeem, extremely impressed, requested that the team next get the drugs and food sorted. While they went over their approach, Khan and Brigade decided that they could look for water in the reclaimed zone. They stumbled across some pinkish-red water running in a small creek, and as they approached it Brigade felt the hairs in his nose burn, and her warned Khan not to touch the water. They provided the location to Alazeem, and left water procurement up to him. As they finished building the NPC Huts, and the Tower with the Volcano the sun began to set. (edited)

Most of the runners went home for the evening via Khan’s gyrocopter, but Brigade and Etle stayed with Alazeem at the compound. Brigade awoke to the sound of sawing, as he emerged from his tent he found a stranger sawing into the volcano foundation. Brigade snuck up on him, and struck his leg, breaking it. He then began to question this individual revealed to be Douglass, a member of Alazeem’s Elfline. Alazeem informed Brigade of the situation, and Brigade patched Douglass up and put a splint on his leg. They went to sleep after Douglass exchanged contact info with Brigade. The next morning the runners began working on the Gremlin Lair. They began talking to a drug dealer named Lilith who had pink horns and blue hair. She tried to hustle them for an extra 300eb for the party favors, which led to them hanging up on her and making the drugs themselves. Khan spoke with Continental Brands employees working in a warehouse about “Sacred Herb” Kibble, and they found one last crate for 1,000eb. Khan got them to reduce the price to 900eb, and flew out to receive the goods with Drake. Back at the compound, Etle had placed the explosives and completed the costumes with the assistance of Brigade. Jean made the fake weapons for the elves to attend, and Etle assisted in making the arrows work better, and the foam swords to hit harder. With the last tasks being the cameras and the volcano’s pyrotechnics, the runners decided a wooden volcano may not do well with fireworks. Just then, they were able to spot that Alazeem was holding an incendiary grenade amongst the flairs. They convinced Alazeem that the incendiary needed to be surrounded by some metal to keep the fire from setting the whole construct on fire. He agreed to allow some nomads that Brigade got in contact with into the party for free, as long as they wore costumes. A man with red horns and an Oni mask arrived by ground car. Khan recognized that he must be from Tartarus, and warned the runners that he could be trouble. They tested his intention with elf ears, which he adorned on his head and exclaimed that he was excited for the festival before leaving the scrap metal and driving off. The runners then worked on getting the last pyrotechnics set, and Etle sloppily set the incendiary grenade within the metal basin that will hold the flames from bathing across the volcano’s wooden foundation. Feeling the exhaustion of this prolonged gig, the runners poorly hung the cameras, with Jean following behind them to set the cameras as well as possible to at least appease Alazeem. Filled with joy, Alazeem stated that he would throw this LARPfest sooner than planned! He sent payment to each runner a few days later, as well as an official invitation to the Elflines Online LARPfest!
