Caoimhe shares the ultimatum she received from Aegir: Find out whether the recent earthquakes are tied to Castine, Living Metal. Which raises the question: How does one go about investigating a member of the Ennead while he is surrounded by his most loyal followers?  This week on Perpetua: A Roar Across Cenn 02 Perpetua Guide [In Progress v.05] NPCs & Monsters [PNMS] I\u2019ve been waiting to put these in until we had stats, but I guess we just aren\u2019t getting those during the early acts. Jimmy Cone & Johnny Cakes [NMJJC] Traits: Arrogant, Ambitious, Competitive, Playful Stats: ???  Attacks: Ace Killer, Back to the Fundamentals, Big Little Bro Backhand, Big Little Bro Beachminton Bash, Classic Comeback Shot, Desperate Dexterous Swing, Dexterous Hit, Final Shot, Jimjam Slam, NORMAL OL' HIT, Patty-Cake Patty-Cake Baker's Lob, Rapid Fire Double Down Super Shot, Slippy Slappy Overhand, Signature Dexterous Hit, Veteran's Return Spells: ??? In-Game Description: Brotherly heirs to the Cenn City dessert empire. Sigh. I don\u2019t really get it. Why do they share a character profile page when they clearly have different stats? Why aren\u2019t their stats visible even after you beat them in Beachminton. Is their whole concept some sort of reference I don\u2019t get? I think this game is pretty funny, but every comedian has some bad jokes.  Kley Kaina [NMKLA] Traits: Skeptical, Mysterious, Just, Vengeful Stats: ???  Attacks: ??? Spells: ??? In-Game Description: Caoimhe\u2019s childhood friend, a Poison Elf who has trained to be a doctor. Somewhere along the way, they developed strange allegiances. You know when you watch an anime and you go \u201cI hope that side character gets a whole episode?\u201d That\u2019s how I feel about Kley. What\u2019s their deal!? Why are they so pissed off about Caoimhe joining the Hexcloaks. And what \u201cstrange allegiances\u201d do they have?  Delani Kaina [NMDLK] Traits: Faithful, Brusque, Determined, Demanding Stats: ???  Attacks: ??? Spells: ??? In-Game Description: Kley Kaina\u2019s mother and a loyal follower of Castine. On a pilgrimage to Cenn. I wish she wasn\u2019t so mean to Kley, but I can\u2019t help but like her. It\u2019s funny that she has a big crush on Castine, it\u2019s sort of like being in love with a Greek God, but I guess that happened in myths too so why not in a game? Thereus Aegir [NMTHA] Traits: ??? Stats: ???  Attacks: ??? Spells: ??? In-Game Description: Leader of the Hexcloaks. \u201cLeader of the Hexcloaks.\u201d That\u2019s it!? You couldn\u2019t even say \u201cCruel leader of the Hexcloaks\u201d or \u201cMysterious leader of the Hexcloaks?\u201d Not saying more makes him even MORE mysterious. And why are his TRAITS hidden? It\u2019s not like he\u2019s hiding being a jackass, he just is one! Athon, Castine\u2019s High Cleric [NMATH] Traits: Devoted, Strict, Punctual, Knowledgeable Stats: ???  Attacks: ??? Spells: ??? In-Game Description: Castine\u2019s chief attendant, responsible for the affairs of his Temple. Athon is sort of a mirror. If you choose all the hostile dialog options, he\u2019s a real prick back to you. If you choose all the more quiet, humble ones, he\u2019ll reflect respect back to you. I\u2019m not sure it really matters if you piss this guy off or not, but if you don\u2019t want to get scolded, just be polite and patient. Castine, Living Metal [NMCLM] Traits: Curious, Mercurial, Empathetic, Caring Stats: ???  Attacks: ??? Spells: ??? In-Game Description: Second newest member of the Ennead. Connected to metal and physical damage.  I have some guesses about what \u201csecond newest\u201d member of the Ennead means, but that\u2019s it for now. Here\u2019s my big theory though: There\u2019s gotta be some connection between him and Scintero, since Scintero is \u201cLiving Bolt\u201d and Castine is \u201cLiving Metal,\u201d right?
