Wow. Thanks Sep - that was as mind-blowing as ever!

Can anyone explain the cubic gate/ portable hole/ small key/ bracelet thing, or is that not supposed to be obvious yet?

I THINK they are hoping to find Pheramnes(sp) urn, but that is just a guess.

I'm thinking maybe they're going to trade something for Graz'zt? Or rather try to make some sort of trade amongst themselves for the various things.

Edit: Never mind, re-read it. I believe it's as simple as this: they've killed Graz'zt- now they get to take his stuff.

This was insanely cool, and they had some presents for christmas as well it seems .

Holy smokes that's some insane loot from those holes I bet haha! Nevermind his amulet and the key is going to be very interesting I bet!

His sanctum key perhaps?

No, but if I were to venture a guess, I'd say it meant Heavenly City, or something to that effect. The citizens of Morne seem to have undergone a pretty radical transformation; I wonder what game effect, if any, was applied to them. Was it something as simple as investing them with the half-celestial template, or something similar? Or is there something more intricate at work there?

Wow, Mostin finally did it. How long has he (and his player) been waiting to use that spell?

I thought that they were going to do a variation of the bag of holding / portable hole trick. That would make sure Graz'zt would be lost for practically forever. But, I think Jackylhunter has the right of it.

Which, by the by, will frustrate Rimilin to no end.

Graz'zt and his retainers had most of the portable wealth/magic items or Azzagrat with them, along with who knows what else. And perhaps the Urn.

That's what I thought first, except I'd never heard of it being done that way. Beat him and take his stuff sounds right though.

I'm also wondering where the gates go, and what sorts of raids they could pull off...

I presume most of them will lead to planar strongholds of grazzts vasals. If people could clear them out there might be some interesting realestate up for grabs.

Thanks Rackhir: I'd completely forgotten about that episode (or, perhaps never read it!).

Over in another thread, I speculated that: "I think the SH and the campaign is moving into an "End Times" mode, however, but even then, I'm not at all sure that it'll be "done" even if the whole of the world of Wyre is abolished in Wyrish Armageddon. However, the major plot arc involving Graz'zt is basically closed now, so that's likely as much resolution as we're likely to see, I think."

Any thoughts on the imminence of the Wyrish escaton?

I'd like to know exactly what was the source of Mostin's inspiration about Sonellion's betrayal.

Web of Motes? Her chtonic state makes her unpredictable even for someone using the web though. Maybe he could identify with her (and knew what he would do or would not do), since the two of them are problably the most alien characters in the SH (excepting of course some who we know but by name).

Personally? I think it was a subtle nudge from the Adversary.

But then, I've been reading Screwtape Letters recently.
