Whelp, looks like calling for the local officials won't work. That is of course there aren't any nearby phones within a safe distance.

You know, I'm surprised Jyrras didn't see that coming. Drakes aren't known for their... social skills.

Well, that didn't work out too well.  "The 'Cubi is our bodyguard!" or "one of our staff" might have helped.

On the other hand, it's just possible that this report will now be forwarded to Cale or whoever else is investigating the 'Cubi murders.

Well calling the authorities didn't help out. They seemed just a little disinterested to listen right there.

Hope that doesn't mean that the adventurer guild might be giving orders to kill cubi to the less intelligent adventurers groups.

Unresponsive operator doesn't sound to creature friendly. Could the local area relations have changed without the cast noticing at the Inn?

Well that would depend if the official is a casual racist. Cubi don't seem to be very popular among beings, so it may not have helped even if he said that "the 'Cubi is our bodyguard!" or "one of our staff". Of course it would be bending the truth to suggest that the reputation Cubi have is entirely undeserved. But casual racism still sucks.

Actually, ending the call abnormally and making it impossible for them to call back is probably one of the best things Pip could do to make it look like an emergency.

Of course! It seems soo obvious now that someone else has explained it to :P

Still, Jyrrus should get his legal team (aka his mum) to sue the operator! No mercy!

Heh, I'm thinking that he should call the hospital next. Or his home.

If by calling his home you mean calling his mother, then that could prove benifical. His mother has some powerful creature clients who might be willing to help.

Nah. Call up Macy. I'm sure she'd be over there in a flash, if it gave her half a chance of riding in the Gryphon chassis...

As awesome as that would be, I'm not sure Mace is needed for this. Abel seemed to be at least putting pressure on... can't remember their names, and Wildy should be more than a match for Genesis.

Given the name of the chapter, they'll probably just go '... Forget about it' and well, forget about it.

I'd at least put some jam or something on that phone first, before eating it.......... :erk

Hmmmmmmm....I wonder where that call was going out too though.

From where what's hinted on location, The inn is located somewhere in between at least Zinvth and possibly several other settlements.

So which one is this call going too?

well there ARE other customers, within walking or riding distance, which implies its near at least a village if not a city. also keep in mind sherrifs for the outskirts, and if magic exists in a setting like this police style enforcement likely has a rapid speed/teleport/flying spell system to launch them to places in a hurry. on the other hand they may have no idea of knowing who is calling as not every technology level can trace calls

FYI- from someone who actually is in the criminal justice field, the 'keep them on the line so i can trace the call' deal is bull. you either know exactly where it is in the first second or theres nowhere to pinpoint. this is also facilitated by maps and regestries.

Then again if anything happens and there's an investigation the phone records might ensure that heads would roll, literally

Lost Lake.  The inn is named after the town.

Fi went to SAIA with Dan didn't he? well that means he wouldn't be able to help (which would actually be the second-best scenario) i'm expecting Mab to make a plot-convienient return and magic the BOB away or something. lighthearted, amusing, and succinct. it fits what Amber would do perfectly.

I was thinking along similar lines. It is alos Pip's of telling Jyrras he is wasting his time.

Wow, I never thought I'd get angry at one of Amber's comics. Then again I always look into the subject matter too much, so I'll just leave it at that and say it was at least equally as funny with Pip's snackage of yet another item (I would have preferred a chocolatey topping on the phone, myself).

Jyrras should probably find some weapons and be ready to defend himself in case the battle zone expands.

Maybe the caller is a casual racist in the other direction?
