### YouTube VOD

***Pipe Dreamers* Session 2** was streamed on BrettUltimus’ Twitch channel on March 10, 2022, and premiered on the World of Io - Ioverse Youtube Channel on March 13, 2022. After sneaking through the city to avoid detection from the KPF, the party arrives in an old factory where Zugg was building an airship out of scrap. To get an old FTL Drive and a power supply for the ship, the party performs a favor for a security guard to deal with a bear with magnesis powers.

## Summary

Armed with the knowledge that the Prots are executing survivors of the Old Kobold bombing, the party moves through Klaybury, following Zugg’s lead. Under the veil of darkness, he hopes to lead them to safety within the Waste Yards which is on the other side of the city. They first cut through the Fish Factory where Beau steals and The Bomb consumes food from a food vendor there. Careful of being spotted by Prots, they go through further Refineries and Factories to avoid the streets. During this time, a very tired and bloated Beau has the idea to ride inside The Bomb. However, his paw immediately starts to burn from the acidic body of The Bomb. The party arrives near the Void Yards where D’rask hears a bear in the direction of the Void Yards. He informs Zugg about this, but the green Orc prioritizes the party’s safety first. Eventually, their destination is reached, an abandoned factory. Zugg activates a loading dock door, taking everyone inside.

Now safe from the Prots, Felsic voices her concerns of their situation and suggests that they should go to another country. Meanwhile, Zugg tells Beau to stop playing on a large pile of junk, and D’rask feeds The Bomb some of the alcohol, playing with the idea of creating a living bomb. Felsic thinks that they ought to go underground, and Zugg points out that there’s a shovel in the corner. The Bomb consumed all of the alcohol to the dismay of D’rask and Zugg. D’rask believes that the trade was a setup. Zugg doesn’t think anyone set them up considering that The Bomb came out of Talon, but Zugg does mention that he knows of another person who is selling parts in the same area of the propulsion shard. The Bomb attempts to think if he can recall anything, but they instead pops and slime alcohol flows out of them. D’rask tastes the substance and ends up taking physical damage from sampling it. Beau asks about the pile of junk, and after D’rask tells Zugg that they need to tell them eventually, Zugg reveals that he is building an airship. With everyone’s help, the party can quickly assemble the airship and can leave the watchful eye of the city. Everyone decides to retire for the night.

Everyone wakes up to a news shardcast. The news reporter informs everyone that the Old Kobold was destroyed and gives the spotlight to the CEO of Zeon Corporation, Cray Voldman. Cray shares his sentiments of the bombing while critizing the Qethosian government for neglecting Klaybury. He expresses Zeon Corp’s plan to improve the city by purchasing the land and building up the infrastructure. Cray then informs the audience that the Zeon Corp Security has documented that two Orcs, one Raccling, and one Human are responsible for the Old Kobold Destruction, but their exact identities are unknown. The corporation is offering 5000 Credits for the capture of these criminals.

Zugg decides that they ought to visit his part dealer, Gravin Kivv. Gravin is at his post as a security guard of the Void Yards, and he tells Zugg that he has an old power supply and an old FTL Drive. However instead of trading goods, Gravin wants a favor. The security guard tells everyone about an ursine creature that wields magnesis powers which was used to decapitate another guard. After a bit of bartering, Zugg will take care of the bear and provide 100 Credits in exchange for the power supply and the FTL Drive. However, Gravin can only let them into the Yard during the evening. To kill time, the party worked on the ship and grab a meal.

The party returns to the Void Yards and meet up with Gravin. He leads them to where the bear then sneaks away. As everyone prepares themselves to engage the bear, the druidic side of Beau informs him that he can learn a property of the bear for his own personal use once he learns how to Wild Shape. With everyone ready to fight, Zugg takes out an arm cannon and Catapult scrap into the bear’s head. The Magnesis Bear gives out a loud roar and uses its powers to form metallic armor on top of its thick hide.
