Three Sticks Lake II

Hamish and Azure decide to carouse with the villagers to celebrate rescuing the van Staal caravan and retrieving a Ka-battery to power the ferry. During the festivities Hamish asks Mathilda about a body that could be inhabited. Shortly before Hamish loses consciousness Mathilda mentions a machine human body hidden deep under the vicar’s beach.  When he wakes up from some commotion in the village he finds a metal tube he was sleeping on with a map inside showing the location of the Obsidian Knives, a place where rare weapons can be found.

A drinking duel at night

Azure and a villager called Burbur get into a drinking duel on the lake, that ends in a draw. Burbur drowns and Azure is thrown into the jail. Stressed out by her withdrawal from Golden Amber and the claustrophobic cell, she experiences the final stage of her mutation turning her body into that of a Bulgarian weightlifter on steroids. Enraged by the injustice of it all Azure breaks out of prison and goes on a rampage through Iron Pikes before she is confronted by the villagers. Hamish defuses the tension by shaming Broadgrin, the village leader, for his alleged bigotry. A ferry from the Jade Baobab arrives and they decide to cross the lake in order to reunite with the rest of the group.

Strange Sculptures on the beach

Meanwhile Naida and Saffron take a canoe to scout out the northern shore of the Three Sticks Lake. Between two tall cliffs lies a colorful beach with strange cement sculptures. High above the beach they spot a walker crawling over a road through the woods. On her way up the hill Naida passes the sculpture landscape where an auto vech bulldozer reshapes the cement constructions. She hails the walker and is greeted by a suspicious guard called Susu, who she convinces to invite them all into the walking village. They leave the canoes behind with Swiftstab, a villager from Iron Pike. Susu tells them that they had passed the wrecks of a Greenander caravan adorned with the Cogflower symbol a week ago at the Bolder Ford over the Teal River. The next morning the party is reunited when a guard announces the arrival of a ferry on the beach.
