On that note will someone remind me, have we met the "actual" Amygdala yet or only lessers?

"Lord" Amygdala is in the Nightmare Frontier, we haven't been there yet. (It's a different nightmare realm from the one we're in right now.)

Who needs to go to the dream when there's beasts to kill and new allies to find.

It's been too long since Anderson got to really let loose. I want to kill some things.
Hope everyone back there is ok on they're own.

This may be a bit off track, but I just had a thought. Is the Orphan going to be hostile towards Anderson?

Probably. But hey, Anderson's good with children, and he ran an orphanage. I imagine he's dealt with kids who lost their parents recently and are angry and scared.
I say that because it would have a reason to be pissed off at people touched by Great One blood, like hunters, because Byrgenworth scholars more or less desecrated the nearby town (who immediately proceeded to pray for Byrgenworth to be cursed) and maybe its mothers corpse. But Anderson doesn't have any of that.
Shit, never mind; not firing on all cylinders at the moment. I'll bang out an update tomorrow afternoon when I'm fresh. Updates might be more sporadic for the next few weeks due to holidays/family engagements/general lack of self-care.
I'll come up with some kind of omake to make up for it.

Language Barrier
Your many, many violent instincts demand that you immediately take this opportunity to cut loose after your recent brushes with moral ambiguity, but you tamp them back down. There will be time for wanton destruction once you've got a better grasp on your current surroundings.
"I'm gonna go see if I can still reach the Dream from here. You guys mind waitin' a moment?"
In an impressive display of synchronicity, the Kegs look into the distance, look back at the chapel, and then look at you.
"Do you see a lantern?" says Djura.
"What d'ye mean? It's right there. Ye can't see it?"
They shake their heads, continuing to do so even as you walk over and give the thing a few kicks to confirm its solidity.
"Must be something to do with renouncing the contract," Steffon muses.
"Aye, that'd make sense. Hang on, I've got an idea." You place one foot on top of the lantern, which holds steady despite its reedy appearance, and balance atop it. "Does it look like I'm levitatin'?"
"Yes."
"Kickass."
"Might do a bit of scouting while you're gone, depending on how long it takes," says Djura. "See you in a moment."
Thankfully, your trip to the dream has none of the unpleasant jankiness of your last voyage, and you wake on the cobbled path without incident. Hope is splayed out awkwardly on her ledge, open Bible and passed-out Messengers on her chest. "One more chapter" is a killer, it seems.
A few nearby little ones, apparently made of sterner stuff than their comrades, point towards the workshop, where another small group are waving and beckoning you to approach. You tiptoe over to them and, with great delicacy, they hand you a cracked, bloodstained bell. Making sure to hold the clapper, you scrutinize it closely before putting it with your myriad other knickknacks.
"Don't suppose this one comes with instructions?" you whisper
After a brief huddle, three Messengers take their positions, two facing each other and a third waiting a distance away. The former begin a pantomimed scuffle, swatting at each other until one is knocked away and the other "roars" in triumph. The fallen warrior then rings a "bell," at which point the third one enters the fray and, together, they overcome the foul beast.
"So I ring this and someone helps me fight?"
They nod excitedly, and two of them high-five each other in recognition of a job well done.
"Who exactly shows up?"
This seems to stump them. They collectively ponder for a moment, after which one of them raises a finger. It stoops forward and pulls itself along as though with a walking stick, then turns to you to see if you understand.
"Old people?"
The little one turns its hand back and forth in the traditional "sort of" sign. Emboldened, it disappears into the earth before reappearing with a small hat and one of the weapons they offered you when you first arrived, trying desperately not to drop it as it repeats the stoop-walk.
"Old...Hunters?"
The Messengers raise their tiny fists in triumph, then sink back into the stone. One arm reappears for a moment to point at the grave at which you once found Hope praying. You can see a gaggle of them in front of it, wobbling aimlessly.
Guess that's your ticket home.

Don't want to go back, to discover they've tried to find out what the roots are made of, by using explosives.
Mainly because I want us to be there when it happens.

Do we even have enough for a single upgrade?
Not to mention Anderson's previous (IC) reluctance to use the stuff.
SaltyWaffles
I am dissapoint, son
- Pronouns
- He/Him
Yeah, we should. First upgrade only needs 3, IIRC. And we picked up a few of them, at least.
As for his reluctance--he's wielding a weapon that's literally made out of the remains of an unholy abomination. Applying some "ore" to the business end of said weapon (with a process that's tried and true) is hardly going to matter at that point.
EDIT: And his reluctance was back when he had little idea what the hell was going on in this world. He's a lot more sure of things now.
