Twisted Dimensions

Paul and Darius were back to work looking for the next dimension to make their fortune. With the help of Steve, who had taken up a role in security, and his wife, Brandy, who had taken up mapping and mineral scanning, they found themselves in a hopeful location. Paul and Steve ventured out to find out what the people of this dimension are like and what kind of threat they posed while Darius and Brandy learned about how hard it's going to be to collect the gold that they had found. Paul and Steve were discovered while they were on their scouting mission, but with some quick thinking, they were able to discover more about the people of the area along with finding a way to be able to get into the city without a problem. Paul and Steve made their way back to the city after collecting some gold to trade but became prisoners who were treated like guests when the lord of the city figured out that they were in the city. Darius had gotten a bad feeling while Paul and Steve were in the city, so since they had mined quite a bit while they were still at the ship, Darius and Brandy sealed off the mine and watched what happened while in the city. Paul and Steve found that the lords were able to spy on them in their rooms, which meant that they were holding back technology. To fight being overheard, Paul and Steve used sign language, which drove the lords a little crazy, but after the first couple of meetings, they only had to deal with the lord of the city they were in, and with that, they were able to broker a deal, which allowed them to mine the gold in the area with ease after they were able to show the lords a way to defend themselves without a sword. When Paul and Steve went back to the ship, they found that they were followed by the servant girl that was assigned to them. She was sent to spy on them but used the opportunity to escape. It wasn't long till the servant girl Cordelia became part of the crew. Paul and Steve went back to the city to work on making it better for the people of the city and were able to make a deal with the local lord so that he agreed to share the knowledge that he has horded for centuries. After their meeting, Paul and Steve got to work on their plan to help the city defend themselves from hostile lords from other areas and to help make sure that the knowledge would be given to the people. There was a little bit of time before they expected the other lords to react. After a small amount of time, there was a large festival where it was announced that all the people would start to learn everything, and that was when the lord and the crew learned that the other lords were attacking. Steve was able to train the city guards on how to defend their city with new weapons that Paul and Steve had been able to develop. The other lords attacked a little sooner than expected, but with the new advantages, they were able to save the city and create allies with a couple of the other lords. Once the battle was over, there was a celebration in the city followed by the crew leaving with promises to return and heading off to take a vacation before heading home to trade the gold they had worked for.
