Legacy of Death Part VII: Little Granny knows Hades

Or we can just stay in the small room if we feel we can rest here. Regardless, we need to rest.

 

[TerraDave]

Not here (which is like 20 feet from where you just where, and in the same "area", but without all the nice cushions and stuff).

And so, again, I ask, right or left?

 

[Jin Abackis]

The right one.

 

[TerraDave]

You return to the chamber with the dark cross, in which the planes of the cosmos can be seen. You are at the "south" of the cross.

With some time, those that have not done so benefit from a short rest.

Sim (and maybe Nar) realizes that this area is not really as open to the rest of the cosmos as one might hope. It will deposit you somewhere in the Astral, though not necessarily somewhere you want to go.

 

[Jin Abackis]

From his travels around the cosmos, Simorai tries to recall if there is a useful place in the Astral that has accessible/controllable portals we can use, e.g., Sigil or a pocket plane (History - 28). Simorai also tries to figure out if there is any way to control the portal to allow them to travel to a specific location in the Astral (Arcana - 31).

 

[TerraDave]

Sigil--interesting that you would mention that city. In the City of Brass, there was an endless gushing of propaganda on how Sigil was a prison, a trap, a cesspit, “the cage”, a myth. And had very high prices.

If the “true” stories are true, Sigil is a central place in the cosmos that allows access to anywhere, and finding out about (almost) anywhere. But you can’t just fly there on an astral ship. You have to find a door (a portal) and then get through it.

In terms of controlling this particular cosmic opening. You are not sure. You know you can try to stabilize it so you all go to the same place. You are not sure you can pick that place even if you had some way of identifying it. And you don’t know if you could do that either (say, with a sigil sequence).

 

[Jin Abackis]

Simorai looks at the great and powerful Nar, do you have a ritual that can determine the sequence for Sigil?

 

[Jin Abackis]

If the lich is somewhere in Hades, Sigil may be a possible location to help us gather information on determining his location. [Does the Ruinblade convey to Simorai any disagreement with this plan?] Nevertheless, until we can get the sequence for Sigil, we should move on. Unless there is an objection, we will let Pathar guide us. Simorai randomly selects a door/path not already tried: this way is as good as any other.

 

[ecayford]

Forge's head swims with all this arcane talk and he mutters to himself about mysterious bs.

 

[TerraDave]

I will give the wizard...and ranger (if he wants)...a chance to chime in.
