(look up! In the previous posts! It's a man! It's a bird? Is it a butterfly? I don't know what the heck it is...)

Pretty wild... Isn't that from Venture Brothers?

Sadly, I haven't heard from the Baroness since she found me out in the cantina... The Baroness told me she thinks I'm somebody (special?)!
She was supposed to meet me in the morning (for my own modesty, I insisted on sleeping alone... in a separate hotel... prefereble in a separate city -- I am still mad about the fountain incident). Seeing as I DID wake up (and with my wallet in original condition, too!), and didn't hear from her, she may have found an alternate mode. Or maybe she's pissed that she didn't get her hands on me (I know... "and my wallet" -- sheesh).
I have my own spies (well, as much as you can call janitors and desk clerks "spies") who tell me that she really needed a beard for a scam she was going to pull on some plenipotentiary who it seems collects art and antiques.
By "collects", I mean, he probably paid up front, whereas the baroness usually gets her stuff for free, and gets paid when it's fenced. But anyway -- She's after the Sulemon Collar or Suleman Plate. Pretty cool for 12th century bling.
Now, I know some of it's history, and I know that more than one drop of blood has been shed in it's travels. As in, somebody killed somebody who killed somebody else who killed somebody else who killed ... you can see the general theme. I just want to make sure I'm not just another somebody. I'm funny that way.
Besides, I went to all the trouble of liberating THIS zepplin, and I better get some use out of it as soon as I can, because after I see her again, I may not have it. She's funny that way.

I am seriously amazed that anyone got the clues and answered them (mostly) correctly. I can tell by your answers that you are a henchman.

Be careful, you'll get a hernia that way. We do not have major medical (although I am sure you can work a deal with pshrynk for a share of any gold...)
I don't know that we will need any henchmen, as I don't consider us "bad guys", but you can come along. I am getting a little worried about our laden weight. (African sparrows not withstanding) I had planned to bring a couple cows along -- milk and butter on the trip out, and steak on the trip back. I don't know if that's on everybody's menu. Plus, I don't know when I'd have time for the ... er, processing. There are certain things that shouldn't be pushed off on other members, and usually the chores involving soulful cow eyes and stew pots are something I feel the weight of. Now, killing the bad guys is a fun chore, and everybody can join in on that. If we see any... I haven't really gotten that far!
