Day 121 Start
Okay, it’s time for Act 2 BOOK THREE. I’m pretty sure y’all are on book six, so including this one, I still have three and a bit before I catch up.
Last time we learned that the book Selnikov had was from the future. Looking back over it, it seems future Agatha hid some sort of time machine in the Corbettite crypts. It looks like it was built by Van Rijn, the same person who built the muses, to “free the storm king from a castle where the sun never set”, which is pretty obviously about Tarvek and Mechanicsburg. We really need to get that guy out of there.
If it was correct that Van Rijn made the time machine, then why haven’t we heard of him in the present? Maybe they’re the time professor we’re looking for? Maybe they don’t even exist and Van Rijn is just a time-travelling Agatha trying to make sure events happened the way they happened.
If Van Rijn, whoever they are, wanted to free Mechanicsburg, why haven’t they done so already? Maybe they decided it was worth it to leave their beloved storm king trapped if it meant we also got to get rid of Othar for awhile.
Too bad he just got free.
Let’s do it!

As much as I am all for someone one-upping Martellus, waking the beast even the train guys are scared off seems like a bad idea.
I don’t think it was ever actually stated anywhere that the beast was what Lady Selnikov was aiming for. We knew that she was headed for the vaults, and that the beast was a thing to be found down there, but they could be unrelated.
This whole train is just a red herring.
