Legacy of Death Part V: Dead-eye of the storm

[dyermaker001]

Nar will want to spend some time with the new book pages, maybe there will be some clues on how to leave this world, or how to track down Acererack. I don't know if there was anything else for us at this base.

This Tome of Shadows has now almost been restored to its full glory. Dozens of strange rituals are revealed, vast sections detailing the inner workings of the outer cosmos. If anything can get you out of here, this is probably it. But it could take some time.

You know of nothing else of that could be worth learning or finding at the base. Except how to get out of it.

 

[Buckthorn]

Buckthorn will scout the area looking for any exits or secret doors. Perception check. If he finds no likely exist other than they way they had come in, the Buckthorn will look at the metallic blue doors (the way we entered) to see if the way they had come from is still open.

 

[TerraDave]

You find nothing else in the area. Both the doors that opened to the the "pages" chamber and the blue metallic doors are open.

 

[Buckthorn]

Buckthorn suggests then the party attempt to retrace it's steps, back through the double doors to the room where the creatures spawned from the vents and beyond (Dungeoneering)

 

[TerraDave]

Buckthorn, facing no objection, creeps back to the cyber-zombies labyrinth. As he peeks in, he sees no activity.

 

[ecayford]

Nar, since the book appears to hold the key to our escape, do you think you can perform a ritual to transport us back?

 

[dyermaker001]

"I don't think I can complete the ritual that might work. I'll need more time to study and gain skill.​"

 

[dyermaker001]

"In the meantime there may be something else in the book that can aid us. I'll study as quickly as I can."

Nar will scour the book for clues on how to return, if there is a permanent portal somewhere, or where Acererak could be found. Maybe there is some way to track him, or discover his phylactery.

With the book you can now sense the shadow connections between this world and the wider cosmos.

You gain a better understanding of this strange world, and how it fits, or doesn't. Outside of something actually built by the demi-lich...who himself could travel without such a portal as a being of corrupt energy...its unlikely that the denizens of this world would build such a portal. Though there "technology" may have brought them close.

On the other hand, the massive desolation the natives inflicted on themselves would have created cosmic rifts, through which the great necrotic energy leaked into other worlds.

However you think the shielding of this place, which has kept you from being killed by radiation, may be interfering (or is it all the radiation outside?).

Robot1 seems to calculate what you are trying to do: "Beyond whatever you have found here, the members of the Brotherhood of Thought seemed to have gathered the only other relevant data we know of on the cosmic travel you may wish to undertake." "Of course, they have not actually helped you make the trip. At this time."

EDIT: This all takes some time, and Buckthorn and Forge start to get hungry.
