A Momentum chit has been played by the GM on behalf of the players.
Rat appears to be in better shape than it has in quite some time.
Volmalric: That rat is going to go places
Rat gives Slumbara cute wet nose cuddles.
Volmalric is busy shielding the top of the brew, stirring it and protecting it from further interlopers
Meltam appears to have successfully removed the splinter from his eye. He does hop around for a couple seconds before managing to clamp down with his teeth on a large fly while flailing his arms around like he is trying to fly. But it passes quickly, and meh, sorcerors do weird things, so who is going to judge?
Meltam: Well, at least we haven't been attacked by monsters yet.
Volmalric estimates that the concoction will be done in about fifteen minutes, based on the "Rachel Ray's Guide to Defeating Creautres from the Outer Dark" Cookbook he is following.
Slumbara: The day is young
Slumbara is not sure where the Cookbook or the "Kiss the Cook" apron came from.
Slumbara has some theories based on containers in Slumbara's inventory
Meltam Waits patiently and attentively, scouring the area with accute frontiersman senses.

Kazemi (Volmalric): INCREASE EFFICIENCY
Slumbara: You had better hurry up, we should leave before Meltam summons an even worse demon
Rat stands on back legs and begins gesticulating wildly to get Slumbara's attention.
Slumbara kneels down to the rat
Rat runs over to a spot under the table and begins stamping foot on the ground.

Meltam: Otherwise, I think the lovely folks who destroyed this village are set to 'repeat' and are on their way
Meltam: Perhaps Slumbara is strong enough to break an infinite loop?
Volmalric tells you he thinks he needs another five minutes or so.
Slumbara: Keep an eye out, Slumbara has to crawl down this dark, scary hole
Meltam: ....to do what exactly?
Slumbara crawls through a hole in the floor
Slumbara rolls an Observation test:

Slumbara climbs back up.
Slumbara: It's too dark, the rats were either telling Slumbara about an escape tunnel, or asking Slumbara to open the door for them so they could eat everything in the cellar
Meltam: Okay, Praire Dog Hell it is
Meltam rolls a Thievery test:
Target: 10 Focus: 1 Difficulty: 1 Complications: 0 Successes: 1 Momentum: 0 [1d20.12+1d20.5 = 17]

GM adds a Doom chit.
GM adds a Doom chit.
Volmalric: What was down there, Slumbara?
Volmalric continues to engage in the shenanigans of stirring the pot
Slumbara: There may be a secret escape tunnel. Or the rats were just hungry
Slumbara: It was too dark to see
Meltam: What did the rats say it was?
Slumbara: squeek squeek squeeeeek
Volmalric: Hmmm. Might be worth following that later
Meltam: I think we should get ready to leave this place.
Slumbara breaks the leg off a chair, wraps it in the table linen and lights it on fire
Volmalric: It turns out that my future self was here in the past and made a deal with that rats
Meltam: As soon as we are done with that weapon
Slumbara: Slumbara will be right back
Rat nods knowingly at Slumbara's excellent understanding of rat-speak.
Slumbara rolls an Observation test:
Target: 9 Focus: 1 Difficulty: 1 Complications: 0 Successes: 1 Momentum: 0 [1d20.15+1d20.8 = 23]

Kazemi (Volmalric): Reminds me of Ron Perlman, who starred a French movie by memorizing the lines syllable for syllable
Volmalric: Please do not bring a fight back here if you can help it
Volmalric: We've got like two minutes left on the clock before this should be done
Meltam: Okay, so it's all up to Slumbara.
Volmalric: I'm hoping it does something obvious when it does so
Volmalric: How's your eye feeling, Meltam?
Meltam: Eh, could be worse
Volmalric: You sure?
Meltam: Yeah it's all part of the job. Why, there's not a day on the frontier when there's not a barricade to build or an arrow to fletch
Volmalric glances at Meltam
Volmalric rolls a Healing test:
Target: 13 Focus: 3 Difficulty: 1 Complications: 0 Successes: 3 Momentum: 2 [1d20.3+1d20.9 = 12]

Slumbara comes back up from the cellar
Volmalric: Short tunnel?
Slumbara: Many tunnels
Volmalric: Neat
Volmalric: Where do they all lead?
Slumbara: Somewhere else
Volmalric nods at Slumbara's wisdom
Meltam: I'm not sure this is a good idea
Rat: (1) Certain Death by Tentacles. (2) Certain Death by Snoo-Snoo (3) Certain Death by Sharp Pointy Teeth.
Rat: Just Kidding!
Meltam: Can I order a combo meal?
Slumbara: Snoo-snoo by tentacles?
Volmalric: With pointy teeth
Meltam: I dunno, you've had them all Slumbara, what's best?
Feneril (Slumbara): To get that you have to tunnel through the earth to Japan
Rat is not actually talking.
Slumbara: Obviously snoo-snoo
Meltam rolls an Observation test:
Target: 12 Focus: 3 Difficulty: 1 Complications: 0 Successes: 2 Momentum: 1 [1d20.14+1d20.3 = 17]
You succeeded and generated momentum!
Rat nods at Slumbara's continued wisdom.
Meltam: Okay. Well, do we want to escape by tunnels or escape by walking?
Meltam: That's sort of the question
Volmalric: Walking, unless there's something looming outside already
Volmalric: Or unless we make a very obvious exit
Meltam: Alternatively, there may be some horses in need of a vet, and we can make friends with someone.
Volmalric: One minute left
Volmalric: If this stuff explodes, we may want to go below rather than out
Meltam: Into the tunnels it is
Volmalric: Do you think it's going to explode?
Meltam: With you? It is certain.
Rat sticks fingers in ears and hums.
Meltam rolls a Persuade test:
Target: 10 Focus: 3 Difficulty: 1 Complications: 0 Successes: 2 Momentum: 1 [1d20.10+1d20.9 = 19]

Rat puts on some thick sunglasses, then resumes putting fingers in ears.
There is a "whomp" noise and a small greenish mushroom cloud erupts out of the cauldron. Everything is bathed in a really unhealthy looking neon green light for about 5 seconds. The liquid contents of the cauldron vanish as a sickening "slurp" noise echoes through the room, leaving behind a glowing green crocodile tooth in the bottom of an otherwise dry cauldron.
Rat takes off sunglasses.
Meltam: Well there we go
Volmalric: Excellent!
Meltam: Now let's get out of here.
Meltam: Fantastic job we aren't dead.
Slumbara grabs the tooth
Volmalric pokes at the stick with a bit of cloth from his apron
Kazemi (Volmalric): *tooth
Slumbara: Ok, let's go kill that snake monster, rescue Delia (if she's still alive) and get out of this Harold Ramis movie
Slumbara rolls an Observation test:
Target: 9 Focus: 1 Difficulty: 1 Complications: 0 Successes: 2 Momentum: 1 [1d20.3+1d20.7 = 10]
You succeeded and generated momentum!
Slumbara checks if the coast is clear as he heads outside
Meltam: get inside! they are coming!
Meltam: to the tunnels!
Volmalric: Down we go!
Volmalric: What's coming?
Slumbara relights his torch
Meltam: Bad news
Slumbara: What indeed
Slumbara: Did you do this?
Meltam: Nope
Volmalric: What sort of bad news
Meltam: Now isn't the time
Meltam: let's go
Slumbara leads the party down the hatch to the tunnels
Volmalric lets Slumbara lead the way down, since he doesn't have a light
Meltam rolls a Thievery test:

Meltam hides traces of the group's existence. No one will suspect the large flash of green light.
Volmalric: Does the tooth hurt when you touch it, Slumbara?
Slumbara: No, it is nice and cool
Volmalric: Weird, that water should've been pretty hot
Rat heads down with the group, runs around the area at the edge of the light.
Volmalric: Here, wrap it up in this
Slumbara: Perhaps Slumbara is so mighty that he does not feel the pain
Volmalric hands Slumbara the apron
Slumbara: Here, you touch it too
Slumbara holds out the fang
Volmalric: Please don't stab me! D:
Idiot Millennial runs up, grabs rat, and starts licking it while doing a live broadcast of the "Rat Lick Challenge" (TM) on Tiktok.
Volmalric catches the fang in his apron and wraps it up to ensure nobody gets cut accidentally
Volmalric: We'll want to craft a spear when we get above ground again
Rat viciously bites Idiot Millennial.
Slumbara wraps the tooth in the cloth offered by Volmalric, then puts it back in his belt
Tack (Meltam): is this before eating alchemy pods and snorting pigskins?
Kazemi (Volmalric): Which begs the question: Tentacles, snoo snoo, or teeth?
Idiot Millennial screams and runs off, feeling more snowflake than before.
Volmalric: Which path should we take?
Slumbara attempts to mime to the rats
Meltam looks to the big strong guy with a torch
Slumbara rolls an Animal Handling test:
Target: 12 Focus: 4 Difficulty: 1 Complications: 0 Successes: 1 Momentum: 0 [1d20.11+1d20.16 = 27]
You did succeed!
Rat pantomimes an answer to Slumbara's question that seems to be easily interpreted as, "Get captured."
Slumbara: I don't think you will like their answer
Tack (Meltam): contemplates how useful changing into a mole or landshark would be
Slumbara: But last time we saw that servitor, it was south of here
Slumbara: so we should go that way
Slumbara points

Volmalric rolls a Survival test:
Target: 10 Focus: 1 Difficulty: 1 Complications: 0 Successes: 1 Momentum: 0 [1d20.15+1d20.5 = 20]
You did succeed!
Volmalric: East, not South
Volmalric: We want to go this way
GM: Shapeshift into a badger, but only gain the abilities and not the physical appearance, then watch as Meltam is horrified while you tear through dirt easily with your bare hands.
Slumbara: Ok, lead the way
Meltam follow Volmalric
Volmalric leads the way bravely!
Volmalric doesn't lead the way beyond the light from Slumbara's torch, though
Volmalric: What did you see outside, Meltam?
Meltam: Riders
Volmalric: Any banner?
Meltam: Nothing stood out when I saw them just over the horizon. About 10 of them
Volmalric: Mmm, they could have been from the town to begin with
Slumbara: What sort of horses were they riding?
Volmalric walks for about 20 feet or so, and stops when the torchlight reveals mucusy white globules fall from the ceiling from what looks like putrescent veins snaking through the dirt.
Volmalric: We go back
GM: "falling from the ceiling"
Meltam: Eh? What's this?
Volmalric: Very gross
Meltam: Yes but certainly it has some explanation?
Volmalric: It very well might, but we have not the resources to explore it without risking the riders finding us
Slumbara: Slumbara has long since given up on explanations here
Volmalric: I say we try another tunnel
Rat nods at the profound wisdom Slumbara has developed.
Meltam rolls a Lore test:

Slumbara: Don't be baby
Slumbara: it's fine
Slumbara: It doens't even smell that bad
Slumbara: If you think this is bad, you should try cutting a colt out of a dying mare
Volmalric: We have two more tunnels that we can use, both of which are equally likely to lead to the surface and less likely to be covered in mucous. We can come back here if you'd like after we've checked those two out
Volmalric rolls a Persuade test:
Target: 12 Focus: 2 Difficulty: 1 Complications: 0 Successes: 1 Momentum: 0 [1d20.10+1d20.15 = 25]

Volmalric: I'm pretty sure whatever it is, it's alive, and better to just not deal with
Slumbara: What makes you think the other tunnels won't be covered in mucus?
Slumbara: Or worse
Volmalric: I don't know if they will or not, but if we try the other tunnels it's got a potential to be better
Slumbara: Or worse

Rat hisses and gets on all fours with hackles raised.
Several dozen more rats appear at the edge of the torchlight, their red, beady, hate-filled eyes focused on Meltam. There is hungry chittering among them.
Volmalric: Oh no
Meltam closes his eyes and sniffs.
Volmalric: What did you do?
Meltam does not answer Volmalric, and appears to be wildily probing the air with his nose.
Slumbara: Is he about to turn into a rat?
Volmalric: Or at least gained their scent ability
Slumbara: So you're saying he smells like a rat
Meltam: I suggest we exit S.
Meltam: ...South Tunne;
Meltam: Tunnel even
Volmalric: South tunnel it is, 2 to 1 vote
Rats glare angrily at Meltam, but scamper back off into the darkness.
Slumbara: So what you're saying is, Slumbara was right the first time
Slumbara leads them back to the south tunnel
Meltam: Yes but....Always helps to have a second take eh?
As the group heads south, the Rat who has been scampering along with you waves "good-bye" and then runs off to the west.
Volmalric: Take care, little rat!
Volmalric: Good luck!
Meltam: Just follow your nose wouldn't be repeated so often if it wasn't correct, right?
Slumbara: Sure, keep telling yourself that
The group heads south about thirty feet and the tunnel turns sharply to the east. As soon as you turn the corner you spot a wavering blue light in the distance, it is hard to judge distance in the darkness, but you would guess it is more than fifty feet away and about the size of a human fist, it is approximately at "Slumbara Head Level".
It appears to be moving towards you.
Slumbara: Light is good
Slumbara: Or bad
Slumbara: hard to say here
Meltam: Onward!
Volmalric: Not many directions to go in
Slumbara continues towards the light
Volmalric: Looks like a person is carrying it
After a short walk, it becomes obvious a person holding the blue light is walking towards the group. Once your eyes adjust to it and you get a little closer, you spot a familiar looking person.
Delia: Oh good, you did figure out to come this way.
Meltam: Greetings Delia!
Volmalric: Delia? What are you doing here?
Delia: Hello, I see you are all still alive and whole. That is surprising news.
Slumbara: I thought we were rescuing you from the snake monster
Delia looks at Volmalric.
Delia: Looking for you, but you probably don't remember sending me to find you, since you look younger than I remember.
Delia: Oh, I was suitably rescued already, but thanks for the attempt.
Volmalric: Do tell
Meltam contemplates the crossed time sub-streams in this crazy world for a moment.
Meltam attempts not to go crazy from it.
Meltam rolls a Discipline test:
Target: 9 Focus: 0 Difficulty: 1 Complications: 1 Successes: 1 Momentum: 0 [1d20.20+1d20.9 = 29]
You did succeed!
GM: Okay, I'll add a point of, "Freaking Insane" to Meltam's personality chart.
Delia: Well, old you said you might eventually get the components and figure out how to make the spear. I was supposed to watch for tuba-shaped smoke coming from the volcano and if I saw it, head to the village tunnels and try to prevent you from getting killed.
Volmalric: Oh, lovely
Volmalric: I was hoping the dragon would have killed the tuba demon
Meltam: but....if you escaped, why do we need the spear?
Meltam: aren't we all set?
Volmalric: Also, will you be so kind as to explain how you escaped?
Delia: Because if I escaped from something, it means the Servitor is still here and we are still stuck in crazy-loop-land at the whims of Giant-King.
Delia: I escaped because you freed me in one of your cunning and amazing plans of bravery. Thanks again.
Volmalric: Giant-King being the one who sent us here?
Meltam: But we know there are fissures on this reality. I even remember the spot close to the Crocodile King's lair. We can leave whenever really?
Delia: Yes, the Scholar-King being the member of the Giant-Kings who sent us here.
Slumbara: If we don't need to rescue you, didn't Meltam find an exit?
Slumbara points to meltam
Slumbara: Yes, that
Meltam: Indeed.
Meltam: Let us sell this tooth to Scholar King for some promise of power or wealth.
Meltam: And let the gods sort it out.
Volmalric: What's making the blue light?
Delia: Well, where I'm from I'm used to you (points at Meltam) being a demonic bat creature that feeds on the blood of humans.
Delia: So you have no desire to leave under normal circumstances.
Meltam: Volmalric was instrumental in ending that version of me
Volmalric: You're welcome!
Slumbara: I remember Slumbara killing many, many Meltams
Volmalric used a Fortune point to add a Natural 1 to their dice pool
