Sagiro,
I've been a long-time reader of your story hour, and I'd like to add my applause to the general acclaim: Bravo!
One of the items in your campaign that fascinates me the most is the Crosser's Maze. I don't know if you've revealed all of it's powers to your PCs, but if you have the stats for that item, do you mind emailing them to me? My email is
shadowthorn69@hotmail.com. Thanks.
Shadowthorn, I'm afraid I cannot oblige; there
are no stats for the Crosser's Maze, and deliberately so. I have a general idea of the sorts of things you can do with it, but there are few hard and fast rules governing its use. By reading the Story Hour so far, you know about as much about it as I do! (If you follow the link at the start of this thread, and go to chapter 9 of StevenAC's compilation, you can find the best description I have of how it all works.)
To sum up what is known: it allows the possessor to:
1. Focus voluntarily-given life energy from nearby beings, in order to deconstruct, reconstruct or reinforce planar fabric.
2. View macroscopic features of the multiverse, as if one were looking at a huge 3-D atlas of everything with full pan and zoom
3. Explore the "Inner Maze," a parallel/reflected/illusionary/recreated/semi-real/who-the-heck-knows equivalent of the multiverse in which former Keepers have often built themselves lasting abodes.
Aravis also has used the Maze as a chisel to break apart the artificial tethers that were binding the Prime planes of Volpos and Abernia together. A variant on use #1 above, really.
