An Odious Occurrence in Oda is the twelfth episode of season 26, Cloudward, Ho!.
Recap[]
Last we left off, our intrepid heroes were on their adventure in the fabled land of Zood, having discovered the Ectic Research Station of their former benefactor and captain, Professor Comfrey MacLeod. Seeing her research into the nature of the Temple of Katur, her studies of the Eyeless Hand, and a strange beast that may in fact have a name, though its name must never be spoken. Our crew dealt with some hard truths about the nature of the professor and the past that they all share. Dump her, dump her! However, the mission did not tarry for long in the Ectic Research Station. Indeed, the crew quickly took off for the city of Oda, there to discover hopefully some means of acquiring a submersible. The coordinates to the underwater temple of Katur, where perhaps methane and krill may be found in some amount or other dangers await, along with the plans of the Eyeless Hand dedicated to releasing the nameless god that dwells beneath. Oh no! Shit is getting bad. Oh no.
Synopsis[]
The crew explores the bright festivities in Oda! They begin by talking to two knights from Gath. However, they are unable to speak to them without a crystal and the crew realizes that there is something in the timeline that doesn't line up.
As they keep exploring, we discover the joys of nut pugs, egg hunts, and the history of this city. They decide to split up, Max and Daisuke get invited to be in a friendship ritual. Max runs to help Marya and Van on the ship instead. Monty and Olethra go off to follow Mordecestershire's trail.
Olethra joins Monty to track down Archie the pterosaur. As they notice Mordecestershire, Monty asks Olethra if she wants to give chase or bring backup, and Olethra chooses the former. However, they both fall victim to Mordecestershire’s sensory attack. Olethra immediately falls unconscious. The memory of the nameless god’s name (Tazgw'agwa) shoots to the front of her mind as Mordecestershire takes it from her. As Monty escapes with her, she regains consciousness and uses Monty’s gun to shoot Mordecestershire.
The crew comes back together and shares all the information they have. The people of Oda learn about the eyeless hand and promise to help. They investigate Mordecestershire’s Apartment and discover a invisible tenticle. Monty spends the night in the apartment to get in the mind of Mordecestershire.
The Zephyr leaves Oda with the two knights, Dame Zaporano & Dame Diamante, and the submersible. Daisuke, Van, Maxwell, Marya, Kočka, Montgomery, Olethra and Torse all go into the Swirling Sea Depths. As they get close to the Sunken Temple of Katur, they find a giant statue of Comfrey MacLeod.
