Mackay and I had an opportunity to explore some of the zones briefly after our little… escapade. Here is what we discovered:
All of the DORAs from MMO Land have moved into the Australian Embassy. Resources are now much tighter there as there are more people that need to be taken care of. Do not expect the same level of comfort there. The Clem's in that zone has been booby-trapped with nitroglycerin by them as they are afraid of who may appear. Tread extremely lightly when going there or else you will blow up.
The "normies" from MMO Land have apparently taken over and things are pretty rundown. We did not get a chance to visit, but this is what we were told. We were warned against going there.
Gotham is… Well, we don't think it exists any more/hasn't been reset properly, but Clem took us to some foresty area when we asked him to take us. New zone. We were met by some Ranger type people who seemed very surprised to see us appear (we did not appear inside of another Clem's). I fucked up and tried to use a tech item which caused their eyes to start flickering, so we had to bail before the agents arrived.
Cyberpunk Hong Kong is a fucking stinking pile of ass. The government appears to be changing to some… I don't even know. Some kind of dictatorial/authoritarian bullshit where the rich get richer and the strong get stronger, leaving the poorer people even poorer. Something about land costing a ridiculous amount and something about a shadow war starting up again. And some kinda Umbrella Movement or whatever. We took notes on it – check the embassy or ask Mackay for a better run down. I'm still pissed. Now we need to sort all that shit out before we can get a house/base set up.
Edit: almost forgot. The Firewall between our shadow and Amber seems to have disappeared. The Last Chance Saloon appears to have burnt down. No signs of Ghostwheel or Clem. We did not have an opportunity to investigate further as I nearly froze my tits off. In fact I probably did… I can't remember what happened. Wait. Am I dead?

We will figure this out people, I have faith that we will restore peace and unity in this world we visit. Some strange force bought us all together and we will get this shit done!!! P.s all Dwarves must die

The barbershop pole in Burlington has been taken by the Ice Torc Wearers. They openly confronted us (which ended badly for them) while we were there. The Clem's, as such, does not work in Burlington. Adding in another barbershop pole would be pointless as they'll just take it again.
Edit: The Firewall between our shadow and Amber is, in fact, no longer there. I attempted to use a Trump to get to Amber from our shadow which normally didn't work unless you were on the other side of the Firewall. Now it works.

If not I wonder where the cut off is for magic and perma death? Re the burnt down Last Chance Saloon, Aeolus forgot to mention the words "Be Seeing You" painted on one of the remaining standing walls in big red letters.

I didn't actually go to Amber. I just checked to see if the Trump worked, which it did. I ain't crazy enough to go there without some people who know more about it.
And yes, I forgot to mention the writing. I'm planning to (unless someone else does it, of course) go back and investigate more thoroughly with some warmer clothes.

Now that me ol' friend Jack has been brought here by the Mormons, we need to get him and Joshua together, smoke a little hashish, and compare notes.
Jack is part-Amberite and knows a thing or two about them blokes.
Me thinks Joshua could mine him for a lot of valuable information, fill in some gaps n all that.
Fair warning though, he can get a bit moody, so I'll leave a few Happy Pies in the Embassy safe, just in case.
If he starts glaring at you, get him a Pie.

Burlington Update: The Whirlpool Gate was closed by some ornately dressed hooded magic user with a glowing blue staff and glowing white cup/chalice/lamp in the other hand. Chanting in some unknown language, presumably casting a spell. He was floating over the whirlpool while doing this. He flipped off Burlington just as he left.
Somebody took out the missiles from the Russian submarine and then welded the silos shut. Anyone know anything about this?
Ice Tower/ITWs Update:
Spoke with Darius and got some information from him, though this is what he heard from others.
The tower has some sort of aerial defences. Guarded by ice elementals. They don’t seem to go past a certain distance, but this may have changed.
Unknown what happens if you destroy the tower. Will it release its power into the torcs? Will it stop working? Will they die?
The orb of power – anything that comes close to it or touches it freezes, including anything it’s attached to.
If an ITW dies, they get resurrected as an ice elemental guardian. Unknown what happens if you die in another zone or a zone with no magic.
Several people have died. There may be lots more elementals at the tower. There may also be lots more ITWs than there were a few months ago.

Burlington update:
Due to the whirlpool being closed and the never ending rain over in that area (anyone know what's up with that?) the town has started to flood/go underwater. It is roughly ankle-deep in water right now. We managed to secure The Library Painting and put it up in the second floor hallway of the Bed and Breakfast before it got ruined by the water while it was still in the truck.
How fix dis?

Re Burlington, have you tried using the phone to tell the MIBs?

Re Burlington, have you tried using the phone to tell the MIBs? Thought about it, but I'd rather get the painting out first. No telling what will happen to it if the agents arrive and reset the zone or do whatever it is they do to it. Do you know if them resetting the zone also resets Clem's? Should we put one of the spare barbershop poles in just in case?

Open the bomb shelter hatch? Might end up flooding Dino-land though.

Open the bomb shelter hatch? Might end up flooding Dino-land though. Thought about and discussed it. Came to the conclusion that this would be a bad idea as the water will likely freeze into ice, build up and then eventually block the hatch altogether, possibly continuing to freeze the water in Burlington (I have no idea how the cold works through a gate thing). Not to mention that even if it wasn't freezing, the amount of water building up would continue to build up, but at a slower rate. So it would just be a temporary solution to buy more time. I think calling the Agents might be our only option but we need to get the painting out first. Unless we decide we no longer want the painting…

Flowing water does not freeze. If the flow is stopped it could block the passage though.

True. I have no idea how the coldness from the other zone works/will interact with Burlington which is why I was hesitant on that idea. If you guys think it a good idea, we can give it a go and open the hatch for a while.
I have the means to get the painting out now via trumps. Shouldn't be too long until we get it safely out to the embassy.
