Poropo Poproporp
Poropo preferred peaceful jobs, but there were times when the curious monk felt the need for a temporary change of pace - the job this time around involved spying on a cult which is meant to be peaceful information gathering. However, if Poropo is found out then violence could ensue! The peace-loving monk sometimes felt like seeking thrills to break apart the normal day to day - spying on a cult also had a second benefit for Poropo which involved the Iron Deity, "If I can help disband this cult, then the Iron Deity is likely to be pleased."

With the help of the Magnolia authorities, Poropo was disguised as not himself in order to blend into the cult meeting - the monk was dressed is a cotton long-sleeve shirt, tattered linen pants, and regular undergarments. The final touch, due to Poropo's obvious guild relation, was a bandana - just as all of the monk's disguises, he looked like a pirate.

Poropo was assigned a partner for this spying mission - if one was caught then the other could help them or continue escaping. The disguised monk hoped nobody would be caught, so the monk clasped his hands in prayer, "Oh Iron Deity, please bless us with a smooth escape."

Poropo and his partner, Guard Captain Devon, moved through the streets of Magnolia in search of known cultists to follow into a meeting - Devon knew more about the cultists so he would do the talking while Poropo would gather information aurally. The duo were confident their pirate-like disguises would be enough to be accepted into the cult meeting - this cult was small and just starting so they wanted all the members they could get. A reckless endeavor for the cult, but there must be some benefit to having more members, thought Poropo.

After an hour of moving around, Devon spotted a known cultist doing grocery shopping at the farmer's market! A mundane task for a secretly impure person - Poropo was excited to start following. Poropo believed the Iron Deity would be pleased by the ending of an impure cult while Devon wanted to avoid chaos within Magnolia - the stakes were high for the pair of spies.

Devon lead the way and informed Poropo of a special passphrase used to get into meetings which is only attainable by being given the passphrase by another cultist, "I don't have the passphrase yet so not only do we need to follow this guy, but we need to listen to what he says at any given time."

Poropo and Devon followed the know cultist through the farmer's market and listened closely to everything being said - everything was normal conversation until the final stall! The conversation at the tomato stall went from talk about the weather to talk of philosophy. The listening monk wanted to join into this type of conversation but knew their cover might be blown if Poropo did any talking - the monk would likely talk about the Iron Deity which would cause problems among a group of cultists.

The conversation went on for a few minutes while Devon and Poropo pretended to be interested in cabbage and carrots. When the conversation ended, the known cultist and the tomato farmer both said a strange phrase, "I'll see you later - may chaos reign." Devon and Poropo took extra note of this phrase - oddly specific for a relatively normal conversation.

The known cultist moved on with Poropo and Devon following - a corner was turned, the cultist's home was visited quickly to drop off the groceries, and then the cultist left for somewhere else. Devon suspected the late time of day meant the start of a cult meeting - the perfect opportunity could be within sight of the monk and Guard Captain as long as they followed carefully.

The cultist took a long, leisurely stroll around the streets of Magnolia after dropping off his groceries - Devon and Poropo were getting impatient, but could only follow and try to listen for any clues. The only clue so far was the phrase "may chaos reign" which was used to end a conversation with another possible cultist. The impatient monk wanted to rest his legs at some point - perhaps the cultist knew he was being followed or was taking general precautions. Regardless, Devon was beginning to bore while Poropo's frail body was giving in.

"Oh Iron Deity, please bless my legs with the strength to continue following," mumbled Poropo to himself as he characteristically clasped his hands in prayer. Devon shushed the monk, but the cultist was too far away to hear anything - even in the dead of night the cultist was simply minding his own business. A suspiciously long walk around Magnolia, one Poropo and Devon hoped lead to something like a cult meeting.

Another hour of walking later, Poropo and Devon noticed the cultist finally stop in front of a door and knock three times followed by a pause and two more knocks! The cultist was going somewhere and was about to speak as Poropo and Devon listen with intent!

Devon and Poropo overheard the same phrase being used for the cultist to be allowed into the basement of a local tavern - "may chaos reign" was used again to indicate cult allegiance. Having this much information would be enough to enter the cult building any time the pair wished so Devon turned to Poropo while they had as much time as they wanted, "Alright, monk - now is the time to enter. I have no idea the frequency of these meetings. Even though we are tired we - gotta go inside tonight."

Poropo looked at Devon with sweat dripping down his exposed skin and into the folds of the pirate garb - all the monk could think about was stopping and sitting down yet he numbingly responded, "Ok." Devon was grateful as he helped the disguised monk towards basement door of the tavern - he knocked three times, waited a moment, and knocked twice more just as the cultist had. The details after were blurry - Devon nor Poropo knew if the cultist simply said "may chaos reign" or responded to a question or other phrase with "may chaos reign." The pair just heard the cultist at the door say the passphrase and enter - the moment of truth would come at hand as the duo waited a moment.

Devon decided to wait for the someone else to respond to the passphrase, but Poropo was too exhausted to wait around while standing in the dead of night - tired and barely able to stand, Poropo said, "may chaos reign" to the door without being prompted. Devon looked shocked but knew this was a coin-flip situation - the Guard Captain accepted the impatient monk's decision and waited with anticipation.

"Welcome, brothers. May chaos reign," said a voice on the other side of the door - the door creaked open as Devon and Poropo were lead inside. The voice belonged to the tomato farmer from earlier in the day who also prompted Poropo and Devon towards a room filled with robes - the pair were expected to wear brown robes to cover their bodies and drape a white veil over their heads. The look was strange and likely inexpensive - common robes and wedding-like veils to keep members mostly anonymous or similar-looking for some unknown reason.

Devon and Poropo put on their extra layer of cult attire and were lead further down the tavern's basement to a much more open area with several cultists in brown robes and white veils chatting with one another - the meeting was getting started soon.

Poropo Poproporp
The pair of spies, the monk and Guard Captain, successfully infiltrated the strange cult which seemed to worship something chaotic based on the passphrase "may chaos reign." The already disguised monk and guard put on a provided cultist outfit and were lead to the main room where many cultists were chatting about various, sometimes mundane things. The main topic seemed to be chaos and what constituted as chaos - this cult was definitely obsessed with chaos, hopefully in a peaceful sense. Starting a war is extremely chaotic whereas rolling dice for a board game is far more peaceful while still being a little chaotic - unfortunately, the cult meeting started with a clear indication the type of chaos the cult preferred.

"Brothers and sisters! As you can see before you on this pedestal - I have acquired a special book," spoke one of the many, similarly dressed cultists. Her feminine voice was traced to a cultist walking through the crowd and into the newly formed circle of cultists, pointing to a pedestal with a tattered looking book. She continued speaking, "As some of you may know, we have been trying to acquire this book for a few years now - meanwhile we have gained many new followers who's faces are just as blurred as the rest of us."

The woman pointed out her own veil covering her head and then pointed back at the book, "with this book in our possession, we can begin the process of summoning The Tower!" Upon mention of "The Tower" the room of cultists seemed to nod and grunt in agreement - they seemed excited by the prospect of summoning something, but Poropo and Devon did not know the scope to this summon. The woman finally said, "with The Tower summoned, matter will begin crumbling into chaos and be forever changed - starting with Magnolia, then Fiore, and finally THE WORLD!" The cultists nodded and grunted more loudly - Devon and Poropo felt they knew what they needed and slipped out of the crowd.

"Thanks for the help, monk - I'll need you again real soon and I'm sure you know why." Devon gave Poropo his hefty reward and they parted ways, for now.
