Cultural cuisine.

Burk loves food almost as much as he loves muscles.

"It's a trap!"

The perfect romantic interest for Burk: a very, very buff chef.

Am I the only one sensing a trap?

I want a plot twist. The good old plot twist !

- It is a under disguise assasin from Heroland, to take revenge.
- A rival diplomat. He wants to make under the table amends with Piper.
- A group of ghouls. Our heroes are the dinner themselves.

Anyone has other ideas ?

Shit, I may be right

rather convenient, eh? ten times a trap and five times a clever one.

@oskarloko The perfect plot twist would be a really nice dinner without any problems ;)

@oskarloko

They won't let the party go through unless they solve some kind of local problem only a ragtag group of talents like them can solve

Waaaaaaaaay too good to be true.

I don't think, that it is a trap.
I think, the diplomats want to have a conversation with Pablo to convince him, to 'forget', what he saw or found out.

As Chaser Said(https://www.neorice.com/hoh_burk_3960) Heroland paid well to make sure his report will fall in deaf ears.

You're invited to dinner at the local guard house. Don't worry if the table is in a jail cell, that's just that it was the only room with enough space. Nothing suspicious at all. I swear the diplomat is real.

46328: Gobo - Sunday, March 16 2025 - 9:14 AM

Theory: Pablo isn't actually well-respected in his homeland, so his guard is immediately up that this is a trap.

46329: Gils - Sunday, March 16 2025 - 9:44 AM

Burk is a man of culture after all.

46330: Saiko - Sunday, March 16 2025 - 10:15 AM

All except Burk are sensing a trap. And Burk probably doesn't care.

46331: Straightbackward - Sunday, March 16 2025 - 10:37 AM

AFAICT Pablo left Livarall alone, so the fact that the invitation goes for everyone accompanying him as well indicates that the info regarding him and his team comes from Heroland (who knows he's in a team) rather than his homeland.

Unless I'm missing a huge element here, Pablo is savvy enough to suspect about it.

46332: Some guy - Sunday, March 16 2025 - 11:14 AM

@Lord_Incaros
Based on Pablo's expression, i'm going to say no.

46333: Mox - Sunday, March 16 2025 - 11:49 AM

Your theory doesn't work
The invite is from an Alvarian, Pablo's a Livarian

46334: mayhemeffect - Sunday, March 16 2025 - 12:18 PM

ever notice while everyone else needs to worry about a disguise to a certain extent, the only concern for burk is pants?

46336: Gray - Sunday, March 16 2025 - 10:40 PM

Everything aside, I hope there are two other nations that use Card suits asnational symbols.
(Hearts for Liverall,
Spades for Alverall so far.)

@oskarloko The biggest twist possible is this entire dinner is exclusively on the up-and-up.
