Book IV 9 - 10 - 11 - 12
Chapter 9 - A Job Well Done
Some folks say we went too far in the last chapter. Some folks
say we didn't go far enough. Neither group seems overly keen on
sending me any money for my efforts, though. So frankly, who
cares what they have to say.
Chapter 10 - The Path to Adventure
A chapter in which nothing actually happens, so I just sort of made

Action Figures™, complete with pull string vocals, 127 points of
articulation, and patented Bone Crushing Grip of Death™, then my
recommendation: stop by Troy the Toy Man's Toy Store and tell them
‘Ruby sent me,' for 10% off your purchase. Just saying.
Chapter 12 - Gelato
The Lady Ruby visits a toy museum, eats some chocolate chip mint ice
cream, while Grt opts for something closer to Tutti-Fruity, and the
next thing you know she's completed the terms of her quest and the story
is over. Trust the Lady Ruby, Consort to The Dragon, to be able
to manage all that at a tourist trap sightseeing destination far off
the beaten path while eating an ice cream sundae, no less.
Rumors abound that it is here (in Chapter 12) that Celli starts
drinking the infamous Chocolate Malts. And so, by the time the
appendix rolled around, he was already, quite 'Frosty',
