I need to find out if theres some way to increase my power reserves, changing form is really taxing. So much so that I could have really used it. It would have been handy to change into something big and unbelievable. I guess I should explain.
When we gathered back together, Alanna and I had gathered material for going underground (I can't tell you how tired I am of going down into dark holes in the earth) and we were faced with a crowd of scared and confused mortals. The girls (Well, Moira and Alanna) insisted I tell a big fat lie to lull everyone into a sense of false security. Ugh, just because I'm the Lie-Smith's daughter doesn't mean I enjoy misleading people.
Anyway, I told a fair approximation of the truth. I told the crowd who we were, what happened, and what we needed to do... with no divine influence on my words. Proof was needed, so I started ice skate across the pavement. That helped. Then Alanna took over, giving orders, while Moira and I divided up the gathered people. Alanna also grabbed a few that stepped forward to lead and gave them instructions.
With the townsfolk doing what they needed to last a few days in this Terra Incognita, we went back to the dome and headed undergound. We encountered some giant, but cute, ferrets. The led us to their master, a Scion of Hatchiman, that had been imprisoned. We let Tetsuko talk to him. I don't think we learned much that was useful, he'd ended up trapped there in a similar manner as us.
Fortunately, we learned that the two tengu we killed were the only guards, so we should have free-run of the base we're now in. Hopefully we can find this "Stormy Key" that my vision spoke of. Then, maybe, we can find a way home.
