ANECDOTE

Monster Fight Reveals Dangerous Relics

  • The party fights meat monsters, recovers a mysterious dowsing-compass and finds a monocle that offers to make illusions real.
  • Taako resists the monocle's thrall and secures it in his bag while the umbrella-staff devours Jenkins's wand.
INSIGHT

Locks And Constraints Force Creative Solutions

  • The engineers' controls are locked to the engineer's handprint, blocking a simple brake solution.
  • The team quickly realizes ordinary methods won't stop the runaway train and must improvise creative magical fixes.
ADVICE

Redirect Momentum With Portals

  • Use portals to redirect catastrophic momentum into safe spaces rather than trying to brute-force a stop.
  • Taako casts the port wand to turn the Neverwinter gate into Jenkins's greenhouse and diverts the train into the glass garden.
