Note
Combat-heavy

After returning from the sewers, Vadis introduces Inertia to the party and learns the Captain's ship is ready. Vadis, Fari, and Fenwick successfully audition for the theater manager by perfectly performing a bar scene with magical effects. Later, Inspector Ironclad joins them to stake out a Noble District storefront suspected of harboring the Golem Maker. Fari breaks down the reinforced door, and they engage the 'Meat Weaver' and his advanced Golems. The Maker completes a beautiful 'Sexbot 5000' golem, but Vadis rapidly decapitates it, ending the threat.
