77. Convincing their DM that a random legend they once heard about ruins in the jungle is totally connected to the quest at hand. That sounded much better than the thing I had in mind.
Did anyone end up using The Perpetual City in the jungles of Elfaivar in any way or form? I get "Made in Abyss" vibes from the description, although I'm half-sure the adventure was created way before that story was written/aired. My campaign just got... weird, as my half-random descriptions of the legends surrounding Perpetual City made the party conclude that it holds the keys to controlling ancient Tarrasques-like creature in the heart of Ushanti. We're on the way to the place literally called "megadungeon" and I have no idea yet how it is tied to Thuuga-el-Shembul the Worldshaper, Kasvarina Varal, her attempts to make a god out of Born, Etherkai Tempestborn, ongoing peace talks at Yerasol Archipelago being consumed by [REDACTED] or the fact that party casually ignited the civil war in Ber and is likely to do so in Crisillyir. Oh, I almost forgot Vicemi Terio partially usurping the control of Obscurati. So I definitely don't want to introduce any more plot-threads...
