Professor Milo:" A solution to one problem presents itsel...but not to the problem we grapple with...pastie,Emeritus?"

Faasaam:"I...thank you. It looks delicious!"

Professor Milo:"They are! Star's restaurant has a high and well deserved reputation around here. Her pasties are a favorite of mine and she was kind enough to send over a few. A full belly may aid an empty imagination. "

Clara:" I only wish that I could serve these baked wonders on plates worthy of them,not my brother's lab equipment. Unfortunately, the lab is under a LockDown while an event of Chaotic magic is going on."

Professor Milo:" Yes. Although we have unlocked doors,they should stay closed for now."

Faasaam:"So we are imprisoned in your lab,then?"

Professor Milo:"Not imprisoned. We could leave any time we wished. But to do so would be...risky. Your journey from the bustle of the King's capital to these remote edges of the kingdom to reach my laboratory is a neccessary thing,sir. I research Chaotic magic and to do so often attracts the same magical influences. Many Beests roam these woods,and although most are harmless, some are most assuredly dangerous. And I have made...some enemies.

" We are cut off from the world when the lab doors are shut. Magical scrying and emanatiions cannot find their way in here or out,and that's a Good thing! I have provisions and space enough to keep us in rough comfort for a time,and I am afraid we will be stuck in here for some while...because I am afraid of whatever will show up for This!"
