=== Part 1 === | ===Part 1=== | ||
Following the [[Sezuan invasion of Tanto|invasion of Tanto]], things have changed little at the [[Traveller's Rest Inn]] in the capital, [[Tantillion]]. The barmaid, [[Kitty (The Broken World)|Kitty]], is still abusing customers and starting fights, and the regulars are still selflessly preventing the collapse of the bar. However, when [[Second Minister of Chance|a cloaked stranger]] arrives, apparently unaware of the invasion, Kitty's curiosity is piqued. Meanwhile at his new lodgings in the castle, Ambassador Durian receives an unwelcome visitor of his own. | Following the [[Sezuan invasion of Tanto|invasion of Tanto]], things have changed little at the [[Traveller's Rest Inn]] in the capital, [[Tantillion]].

[[Durian]] makes Professor Cantha an offer she can't refuse. The Minister creates a miraculous doorway in the forest, and passes through it onto the Frost Bridge between worlds. He tells Kitty to go home, which she of course does immediately with a skip and a polite farewell. On Tanto, a [[Sezuan|Sezian]] patrol interrogating villagers comes up against a new enemy, one that does not go on foot... | [[Durian]] makes Professor Cantha an offer she can't refuse.

Porcher heads to bed, and Kitty tells him that she is going to bed as well, but secretly heads out into the forest to meet with Cantha, a scientist who has escaped into the forest. She tells Kitty that it is too dangerous to be meeting her, and that Kitty should not risk her life for her. Just then, the mysterious stranger from earlier enters. | Porcher heads to bed, and Kitty tells him that she is going to bed as well, but secretly heads out into the forest to meet with Cantha, a scientist who has escaped into the forest.

The stranger says that he is not dangerous, and asks Cantha to grind him a [[looking glass]] urgently. He says that the Sezians could have followed Kitty, but believes that they did not. Cantha and Kitty work out that he needs the mirror to make a [[spyglass]], and deduce that as looking around with it all he would see would be trees, he needs it to look up into the sky. As Cantha makes the mirror, and Kitty keeps watch, the stranger agrees to explain why he needs it. | The stranger says that he is not dangerous, and asks Cantha to grind him a [[looking glass]] urgently.
