Wow.

I had no idea Tara and Ash had so many uses.

They are remarkable materials.

I was wondering what is next to Malaysia.

Oh, yeah, I was wondering that too.

Well, you're at the right place to find out.

The Casa de Masa?

Oh, you know it.

This is our friend Jean's favorite place for lunch.

Oh, they make the best masa in Vermont.

What is masa?

Oh, you guys getting lunch here, too?

Oh.

Hey, Jean.

I was just telling Dave about how much you love this place.

Best tortillas in town.

Dave, you said I'm Jean.

Nice to meet you.

And this is Kai and Gwen.

Sup, Dave?

How do you do?

Lovely to meet you all.

So, Jean, you're a fellow fan of the masa?

No, I haven't tried their masa.

But their tortillas are so good.

Yeah, they're made with masa.

Oh, I thought they were made with corn for some reason.

They are?

Oh, I'm so sorry.

You're saying maize?

I thought you were saying masa.

I am saying masa.

Oh, okay.

I'm confused.

What's up with the buckets of ash and char?

Dave's a chargoyle.

A cchargoyle for true.

Guilty as charged.

What's a chargoyle?

Chargoyles are a very ancient and noble lineage, Jean said to predate even the Druids.

And I take it you're a conjurer then, Dave?

No, no, I'm just an archivist.

And a courier.

Of course.

Of course.

In that case, do you by chance curry information?

Well.

It depends.

What are you looking for?

The next harmonization spell next to spell one.

So shrouded in mystery that not even the Sorcerer's Compendium records it.

No.

No, no.

Nyx normalization is not a spell.

You lie.

I'm not permitted to.

Oh, that's right, the chargoyles by laws forbid lying okay.

Well, I'm sorry, but if Nyx summarization is not a spell, then it shouldn't have a spells name.

It doesn't.

It's a no.

word Derived from Nestlé, meaning ashes and family, which is basically unformed maisto.

But the warlocks miss categorized the term years ago during the big kerfuffle.

Oh, of course they did.

Oh, that big kerfuffle was such a mess, wasn't it?

I'll say less.

You know, I've actually got a petition going around to codify the etymology of Nyx stabilization across all the magical orders.

Oh, that be very helpful, right?

And I'd be happy to sign that petition.

Oh, thanks.

That'd be great.

I'm sorry.

What are we talking about?

Yeah.

And who's this Nick guy?

And why did you turn Nick into a mild crustacean?

Here we go.

Mild crustacean.

He thinks you said Nick's turned into a mild crustacean.

Oh.

That's weird.

No.

Nick, stop.

My ization is a process in which grains are cooked in an alkaline solution to alter their flavor and nutritional profile, resulting in improved bioavailability and taste.

And gene, the dough made from nixed, analyzed maize is called masa.

Oh, okay.

But who's Nick?

Hi.

What's up?

Stop talking.

Look, I have to deliver this ash so I can make it back to the giant on time.

And I gotta get some grub in my gut before I go.

If you want to see what Nick's summarization is, we can watch it being done here while we wait for our food.
