🦊 Планета Флерантор, осколки человечества 🦊

Damn, now I'm really curious about that moment with the balloon. But I'm too lazy to read a whole expansion for it.

It's nothing special. A group went to an island to complete a quest to save the local ruler from revolutionaries, and then their little boat suddenly sank. So they had to return via some "hot air balloon" kindly hidden by the local ruler. But the thing is, the balloon was designed for a certain number of some "units," which I hadn't seen mentioned 500 pages before that moment, nor 500 pages after. In other words, they came out of nowhere, just like Aristarkh's diarrhea. Based on the principle of "oh, this would be cool, hee-hee." 
Well, basically, a decision had to be made... First, unnecessary junk was tossed out, then NPCs, but there still wasn't enough room. In the end, Menta's character was left to die on that island, and Astral's character flew away with everyone else, after which he immediately slit his own wrists.
So yeah, a "cool story, hee-hee." As for me, screw these kinds of "quests"...
