and that is the end of that. we made it back to see toad hall, of course, entirely undamaged besides the damage toad was currently doing to it. he claims that "nobody" did give him a generous donation to fix it but im starting to think the whole "myths act in a specific way to their source material" thing might just mean that no matter what happens to toad hall it gets fixed. then again after our trip down the rabbit hole i guess anything is possible and sometimes the logical is illlogical.
Mr. Toad: Hellllo, my wonderful friends! What a splendorous day for a trip in a Martian tripod! Ah-ha! Ah, Whoops—!
[Mr. Toad accidentally fired a heat ray from one of the Tripod’s legs into the side of Toad Hall]
Mr. Toad: Well… that will buff right out, I am sure.
No. 422: Where the hell did you get that, Toady?
Mr. Toad: Southern side of Mag Argatnél, old boy! Wonderful place, wonderful place! Many fast and ferocious vehicles. Say, would you like a go at it?
No. 422: I’d love ssspin, but we’re actually on our way back. Besssides the lassser hole, your Hall is looking better than ever.
Mr. Toad: Ah, yes! Thank you! As you know, I received a generous donation from “Nobody!”
No. 422: Well, I believe thanksss are also in order for [No. 224] here. He’sss the one who really sssaved the day.
No. 224: But! But! We would not have gotten to the riddle content without [No. 161] taking charge of the chess game!
No. 161: And I wouldn’t have won without [No. 422]’s help.
Mr. Toad: Well then, it sounds like a proper thank you is in order for all three of you then and not just Nobody! Let me get down—
[Mr. Toad pressed a button which released a plume of Black Smoke from the Tripod]
Mr. Toad: Whoops again! Darn controls, hardly fit for an amphibian. Don’t breathe that in, friends! As I understand, it is quite deadly!
[Mr. Toad neutralized the Black Smoke with steam from the Tripod before lowering it to the ground.]
Mr. Toad: Ah, there we are. Now, how about a quick feast before you are on your way?
No. 161: Well…
No. 224: We simply have to go to the feast!!
No. 422: He wants the feast, [No. 161]. You can’t deny him the feassst.
No. 161: Aren’t we in a rush?
No. 422: Yesss and no. Yesss… but alssso no. We have time for a feassst, at the very leassst.
No. 161: Okay. One feast.
No. 224: Yipee!!!
