 The train reached a red-rock, enormous sprawl within a huge cavern, with ruined stone towns and castles visible in between the dust-churning packs of tens of Abyssduer vehicles. Foreglord led them to one ruined castle, but one of the myriad crawling machines saw the party then scuttled away, ensuring that they would eventually come to Vale's attention. Inside the ruined keep they found Masamune, a towering and tubby stone elemental with golden skin and golden manacles, enslaved by Vale, happily tinkering on a regular-sized sword to occupy his mind. He greeted them gladly, and offered to make their Vandire-slaying weapon if given enough brass (Tachy had thoughtfully brought the tram with them, but it was unlikely to be enough). While trapping him was an option, permanently killing an immortal elemental would weigh heavily on them, as it weighed on Black Opal. While the party couldn't decide with entombing or inhuming was preferable (with Percival advocating for a final end), a tentative plan was outlined to steal the power of the storm from Vale and create a scalpel to excise Vandire's unholy power.

+Interested in the shackles, Vadaenlar and Orion threw their heads into the smoking abyss, witnessing a vision of Yeenoghu destroying Leurut and claiming such a fate was preordained. It shook the two deeply: Percival immediately clocked what was happening, and was able to quell Orion's faithlessness, but not Vadaenlar's. At that moment, Crescent ran in, warning of an incoming fleet of Abyssduer. Percival led the party to the top of a ledge overlooking the castle, and observed an enormous host of eighty vehicles bringing scrap into Masamune's workshop, and emerging with an enormous armoured gorget. They watched as the Dwarves loaded their vehicles and left, led by a presumed lieutenant of Vale's named Drebenan, electing not to do anything against the overwhelmingly larger force.
+Masamune told them that Vale had made him create many disparate pieces: their larger purpose was unknown to him, but Sylvie began to fear that Vale was constructing something utterly fearsome. Still, the party intended to free him, and while his golden chains resisted flat attempts to break them even from Tachy's mountain-destroying drill, Vadaenlar theorised that a key or other magic escape lay with or near Vale. The party departed the forge, aiming to track the rapid fleet with Sylvie's attuned senses.
