USPS Session 26: It's All Fun & Games Until... Report

General Summary

After spending a bit of time in the Sokkeyja District during the Yalalt Celebration, we return to our heroes as they get on a humongous shopping spree!
During the session, the players with a bit of money to their names make good of the massive sale going on thanks to the celebration, and buy/sell quite a few things each (as broken down below):

• Diaga: Sells 6 +1 Gold weapons to obtain 3 Conditionless Enchantments (blinded/prone (?)/restrained) on their armor
• Harvoni: Sells a few weapons, a few extra arcsthetics, and a few materials (including a Raakatite) to purchase Railgun Rounds for a pistol, Altmat for her armor, buys/crafts serrating ammo, and upgrades their Arcsthetic Hand to an Arcsthetic Arm.  Additionally installs Integrated Potions and a Bio-Regulator, notably all of these arcsthetics were done using wood and stone parts enchanted by mystek and runic magic

Rumple finds himself at a comfy-yet-fancy brewery (the Flushed-Sipping Fire Salamander) headed by an Orcish bartender who offers him drinks from their menu, but more notably offers something referred to as their "Taste of the High Life Challenge!"
Hearing drinking and challenge, Rumple is absolutely down, as the man prepares a dish of 6 different specialty drinks and a few additives
Alongside this, the bartender puts out a list of rules which should be followed in-order to keep it all down, the ultimate goal of the challenge
Rumple goes in and just downs every single drink, only getting 4 in before he vomits it all back up
After Harvoni is done with a bit of shopping, she joins Rumple in the Flushed-Sipping Fire Salamander to join the challenge as well
Methodically planning everything out, the two of them drink the drinks in the exact correct order, though Rumple still struggles to keep it all down
As the two of them successfully complete the challenge, they are both awarded with an A.C.M.E. Special from the top shelf of the man's supply
After Harvoni leaves the bar to continue shopping, she plays a few rounds of P0K3R with some street urchins while Rumple tries his hand at a game called "Quickling, Catch!" where he is pitted up against one of the fastest creatures in all of Aekko: the Quickling
Trying his damndest against the speedy Fey, Rumple finds that he just can't secure the stupid little thing in this large arena, and the whole minute he has to catch it goes by with only getting its health down halfway
Attempting the event once more, Rumple starts off by lowering the Quickling's stats with his Amidrakh Dagger, and then is able to chase it halfway across the arena before Harvoni shows up to help out
Harvoni casts Grasping Vine which is able to slow the Fey down and allow Rumple to catch it!  Rumple earns 3 Gold pieces, of which he pays Harvoni 1 for helping
After all that is said and done, and the night winds down, Harvoni, Roger, and Rumple bump into Ondska who is walking with a distraught Willow 
Apparently, Willow was jumped by Raseri thugs who were about to rob her, before Ondska came in and scared them off with a very powerful spell called Dark Star
After him and Harvoni chat about whether Willow is crazy and hearing voices (to which Roger agrees), Ondska then discusses his job which he plans to task the USPS with
Ondska mentions that he has been meaning to get his hands on something called the "Fantasmal Dynamo", a device which can supposedly create a near infinite supply of energy from Fantasma Crystals.  Supposedly this can act as an engine for his proposed flying machine
The only problem is that the device lays deep in the basement of Leyndar Mining Company, a privately-owned mining company down near The Pit
Ondska mentions that the Dynamo is deep in the deepest portion of the Company HQ, though he knows plenty of ways of entry, including the sewers, the loading docks, and even the front door for an orientation taking place tomorrow
The group accept without asking really any questions, and look forward to that next sunrise...
