"And he'll have a chess board, and challenge..." He goes silent. And a sneaky grin to Dagmar. "Not giving it away YET."

"Yeah, it'll be a good game."

"Dagmar, you want to Co-DM with me?" A glance at Vali. "I think we owe Mr. Gardner a quest."

"Me?"

His lips curl up in a grinchy way.

"He can start as level one."

"I think maybe give them to the DeBukes in exchange for goat cheese" Vali says

Vali smirks at the level one talk

"Actually, if I could have my last piece of the map?"

"Right! Can we see it all together? Can you tell us what's next?"

Nod!

"We figured out the Florida part..."

"Islands, yeah."

"It's more than that, but sure.. I can show you .. Follow me" He says and offers them a trip to his house

Connor shows up and "GOATS! Can I introduce them to Stormy?"

Star is dropped off at the Lodge!

"Sure!"

And will take Star back along with the two, which he promptly christens as "Nanny and Nonny."

So it goes, and so it shall be.

And .. the time for Vali's grand quest to be revealed has come!
