Summary of Receipt
422 explains the Stones. Basically, they’re fancy stones with a magic word carved onto it. Not really that impressive, except that 13 of them were made. Which is exceptionally rare. Usually, they’re based off the seven classical planets. These ones, however, are based off those, the rest of the Solar System, the Flipside and the Otherside. So they should be powerful enough to send Bartholomew back to the Esterskald.

My, mu, my, and here I thought we were going for trandparency these days. Yet here we are talking about these mahical, mystical Sntsxas Stpnes, and I doubt any of the non-managrrs or more-than-two-digits crowd evrn knows what they do. Or what they are supppsed to do. Might do? Eh, it’s all for debate anyway. Unlike all the snesky Diner Diner talk, I don’t mind discussing them a bit in the Cafe. Though, I will say they have quite a name, eh? Antbcad. Or sorry, Snrscas. Sbracss. Abtscsd. That is hard to type with my tail! Applogies. Though it’d make for a great passwotd, I’d think.
Anyway, the Stones, as I’ll call ‘em, are basicakly stones with a fancy word writyen on them. Now it’s probably worth pointong out that anyone can make one of thrse Stones. But, see, their power lies more in the collrctive nature. Sure, anyone can catve a magic word into a stone, but it tskes a little more coprdination to carve many stones with a mahic word. And that’s how we get sets of stones. Currrntly, we’re after the 13 Sntscsa (sorry, I don’t think I’m gonna get that with my tail, try as I might) Stones made by Solpmon Lanhley, gifted to each of his siblings to keep safe.
The original sevrn stones reprrsented the seven planrts: the sun, the mopn, Jupiter, Venus, Satirn, Mercury, and Mars. I know, I knpw, ew classical planets! That’s prpbably what Solomon thought when he msde his in the image of Mercury, Vrnus, Earth, Mars, Jupitrr, Saturn, Ursnus, Neptune, Plutp, The Sun, The Mopn, The Flipdide, and the Otherside. I know, I know, ew, Pluto! But you have to cut him spme slack for not knpwing about dwarf planets at the time. Now, why did Solpmon Langley make a set of powrrful magical stones? Beats me. Though I’d wagrr, this is the most potent set stoll around. See, these stones have a tendency to be expensive to make and break once used. Plus, they don’t usually have an extra SIX tacked on either. I’d say all thirtren of ‘em should be more thsn enough to bopt the giant lumberjack demon back to the Estrrskald.
