Bixby rushes up to a gate and in front of the gate is a fountain that seems to carry two buckets. The fountain is not running. There is a dark hole at the center of the statue that stands inside the fountain, but it seems to be plugged by something, and there are black smears in a small pit underneath the hole. The statue looks to be a figure with a hood over its visage, blocking the appearance of its face. It cannot be determined if the figure is supposed to be male or female. The arms that hold the buckets do not seem to be part of the same marble as the rest of the statue. At the front end of the fountain, along the wall that contains a shallow amount of filty water, are two figurines affixed into a placement, and a third missing, with its placement hole exposed, revealing a rectangular recess in the pocket where a figure could sit. But where is the third figure? *Tim analyzes everything mentioned up there.* Tim: It appears there might be something plugging the flow of water. We should try to unplug that somehow, but we got to get over the gate. Can someone help me over? Albert, you're a tall lad. Give me a hand? |

*Oliver was already done peeing when he was struck by a rock and he laughs at Bixby's tiny body looking at the large fence.*

*Albert with the cut on his finger walks over to the buckets takes the rocks out and instead fills both with some of his blood* The droplets start to turn the gross algea and pee colored water to a darker yellow. Tim: We got to get over the gate. Can someone help me over? Albert, you're a tall lad. Give me a hand? *With Alberts now bloody hand walks over to Tim and lifts him as high as he can* Tim is now at the top of the gate, but unfortunately for him, the gate is attached to a brick wall that extends far to high for any hero to reach. Even if all of our heroes stood on each other's shoulders, they still would not be high enough. The gate itself is a semi-circle that rounds into the brick for a bit of classy old-fashioned architecture. *Tim analyzes everything mentioned up there.* Tim: It appears there might be something plugging the flow of water. We should try to unplug that somehow. bixby looks for a way to turn the fountain on. bixby also looked to see if the fountain can be unclogged Bixby and Tim investigate the fountain. They look inside the fountain to see if there is a drain, and there is a tiny hole, but even after digging their fingers they determine it is some sort of drain that allows the water to be pushed up and through the fountain. They investigate the statue. There is a dark hole at the center of the statue that stands inside the fountain but it seems to be plugged by something and there are black smears in a small pit underneatht he hole. Tim sticks his fingers in the smear and steps back confused. He licks it to confirm his suspicion. "It's ash," he says. Bixby tugs at the buckets again, and again the gate clicks. "Gate definitely opens by these buckets I reckon," he said. At the front end of the fountain are two figurines affixed into a placement, and a third missing, with its placement hole exposed, revealing a rectangular recess in the pocket where a figure could sit. But where is the third figure? "These are strange," Oliver said while zipping up his pants and doing all that he could to concentrate to not zip up his genitals. "They look like chubby baby angels." "Cherubs," Milkmire said and then went back to staring at his documents and putting them in his pocket and then taking them out and smiling at his documents and putting them back into his pocket. |

*Albert attempts to locate the missing figure* Albert sees the group successfully solving the puzzle, and it doesn't seem to involve urine. DM: Ability Triggered Milkmire touches the statue and sees the original construction of the fountain. Underneath the structure is a series of gears and pipes that link from the fountain to the gate. He sees a man overseeing the construction wearing a top hat with long hair. He sees that same man take out a flask and drink from it, and a purple chemical drop from his lips down his chin. He wipes it away. There seems to be more details, but it's all in a matter of how Milkmire can use his ability to see based on what he touches. Bixby grabs some twigs and places it in the small ashy pit. Bixby starts rubbing sticks together to create fire. and then places the fire inside the pit to burn the twigs. Success! After a half hour of working on it, Bixby is exhausted by a miniature fire has been started. The fire emits smoke out the sides, and the flames burn up into the statue. The statues eyes glow, shooting light into a crystal that holds inside the eye-socket of the statue. The curvature of the hood aligns the light and casts it into the bush, where an abnormal looking log stands with a carving of wings on it. |

Milkmire: There is something about gears and mechanisms that I find particularly enjoyable. I think I enjoy when things run like smooth, well-oiled machinery. Nothing more fabulous than clockwork. Well-designed, well-crafted clockwork. (Milkmire looks off dreamily in the distance, as the thought of clockwork takes him to a happy place of sorts)

*Oliver puts some weight on his legs. He moves around slightly, testing his ability to walk, hoping to increase his recovery.*

Milkmire, to Oliver: Careful you don't overdo it on that leg, my friend. It's okay to take it easy until we get back to my place. I have a physician on hand who can take a look at your leg and ensure it heals healthy and clean. No need to over do it. There will be plenty of time for that later (laughs to himself).
