|---|---|---|---|
| Check on the Zeppelin
Why is the Great Exodus not yet underway?
|
To the East? Or to the South?
It transpires that your help meant the Zeppelin was finished far earlier than expected, and the Wildweald Court has yet to decide where to go. Both factions are likely still arguing about it in the Silent Gallery... |

| Flight of the Soaring Glory
The Pentecost apes are ready to depart.
|
Dawn of a new Empire
You watch the launch preparations of the The Soaring Glory Of Emperor Crispin IV (Greatest Of His Name), surrounded by hundreds of excited monkeys. The Emperor is carried past the guards and up the ramp on a sedan chair. After him, in uniforms of gold and purple, walk the nobility. They are followed by the mandarins, led by the Exquisite Seneschal. Next to board are the lower-souled monkeys, who- The guards open fire with their rifles; holding back the crowd as the ramp is pulled up. A sea of betrayed faces can only stare in horror as the Soaring Glory rises into the sky and away to the East, taking with it their stockpiled food and the last of their hopes. The howl grows angrier with each new voice. |

| Destroy the Zeppelin
The Great Exodus cannot be allowed to happen. Luckily, you know a little something about hydrogen.

Failed event | ||
| Boom!
It is a slow, careful business, crawling around the island where The Soaring Glory is being prepared.Luckily, a Zeppelin makes for a big target, and soon enough you find somewhere the guards have overlooked. You take aim with your flare gun. Fire. The fireball catches a glancing blow on the cloth, but it's enough. As the monkeys wail and run helplessly for water, the flames work into the hydrogen below. When the explosion comes, it shakes the ground and rains down an apocalypse of shards and flame and broken dreams White pain floods behind your eyes and gut. The bloody shard in your flesh is jagged and twisted; bone-deep, snapped. The scream goes unnoticed, lost in the noise. | |||

When the explosion comes, it shakes the ground and rains down an apocalypse of shards and flame and broken dreams. The sound of burning, screaming monkeys will likely haunt the rest of your days, but you escape unharmed and undetected. | |||
