Events:
--- The Fated LARP
- The party are in Fortress-City Fate and it's much like old times, except that the brass-and-clockwork city is now full of clay-based maybe-demon people downloaded from the data stacks in the city's core. Other than that it seems normal...
- They ask the guards about what's going on in the city, major factions, that sort of thing. The current Fated Queen is Madame Black who won the throne after the previous incumbent was found to be having an out-of-character affair. She's part of the Masquerade faction, one of three "serious roleplaying" courtly drama types along with the Council of Viziers and the King's Men who are all in factional conflict.
- Other factions are having a bit more fun with it, like the deeply non-serious superhero LARP over at All-Prayer or the kinda-roleplaying-kinda-not Maintenance Crew who are doing a plotline and trying to work out why the data stacks are breaking down in the deep city.

--- Superhero Time
- The team take the train to All-Prayer to check out the superheroes. They're in luck! As soon as they arrive they see The Conductor, an electric supervillain, capturing POWERMAN in a magnet cage! Another hero called Devilman shows up too!
- Jojo decides her superhero name is Future Girl and she can see the future!
- Future Girl fights The Conductor and wins, getting him in a headlock! Guards turn up in an anachronistic Guber and take the villain away. POWERMAN and Devil Man invite the party to a party later - up on the walls is where people hang out when they're out of character.

--- What's In This Drink?
- They head up to the party and it's pretty cool! You can look down over the city from above, and they serve a bunch of drinks which are variants of the same thing - some kind of pale liquid clay.
- Dorian, being a demon made of clay himself, tries some of the stuff...
- It's basically watered down clay plus Alterket - the ketamine analogue - and it fucks him right up!
- The clay, it transpires, is from the body of the enormous demon that exploded into the city all those years ago, raining demon obols down on the place and splatting right down onto the former farm sector of the city!
- Dorian is mostly blob by this point, and happily follows the others along burbling away.

- They take the outer circle line to Verdance and its many stairs.
--- Demon Goop
- Dorian blobs down the stairs going wheeeeeeee.
- It transpires that the demon clay is what the people of the city are formed from now. If killed, they just chuck your kara back into the mud, upload your mind from a backup, and there you are! Low stakes all round for the people here.
- They borrow a barrel and bloop Dorian into it. He's pretty happy in there.

- Parabolus is pleased to discover that while there are farms, they're all set dressing and don't actually grow anything. Wheatlands monopoly continues!
- They decide to head back into the city via boat, then change over to the deep city line and check out what's going on with these data stacks. It's probably the only "real" adventuring to be had in the city, since everything else is a larp.
--- Enter the Dungeon
- The reach the deep city and head down towards the gatehouse, then on into the Brasshell dungeon beneath. According to the guard at the gatehouse, the first floor of the dungeon is for dungeon LARPers, then it gets progressively more dangerous and real the deeper you go.
- They check out a room that just has a spooky speaker playing canned evil laughter, then check behind a door that sounds like a ringtone. Parabolus keeps yelling out that they're real and not playing the game.
- Behind the ringtone door there's a wheel of fortune! Jojo spins the wheel, gets a sad face result, and gets hit by a minor curse that makes her worse at rolling! Dorian tries it, gets a happy face, and earns a free reroll in the dungeon! Parabolus spins it, gets a sad face, and gets hit in the neck by several thin darts.
- Another room is explored, there's a statue of the OG Fated King in a dry fountain. Jojo fixes it, and finds that it could have been set to spew noxious fumes! Instead she sets it to water, which begins flowing.

--- Kobolds
- At a crossroads they see a whole bunch of people dressed up as dog-like kobolds! Between Jojo's incendiary bolt and an alarmingly successful gambit combo from Dorian and Parabolus, it doesn't go well for the kobolds.
- The "kobolds" morale breaks and they decide to call it a day. Jojo fist-bumps the strongest looking kobold and Charms him. He says his name is Shishlak aka Brad, and he tries not to break character.

- Shishlak leads the team to the kobold market that they've got down here! Everything is mostly made from shaped clay, but there are fried snakes which are at least real food.
- Parabolus does a ventriloquist show to make a bit of cash, and then also borrows money off of Jojo to buy some weapons and armour.

- They also meet a mysterious stranger in the bar... they call him Trundler. His real name is Snorri Broadshoulders, and if the party can bring him 47 Dwarven Artifacts he can play a human as his next class. He can pay in premium currency!
- Seeing as it's relatively safe here, and Dorian is still feeling some of the after-effects of the ketamine clay, they decide to stay here for now and plan for the deeper levels tomorrow. Strike the earth!
