[QUOTE="gideonpepys, post: 7493980, member: 79141"] [b]Session 65, Part Two - What have Leon, Rumdoom and Uriel been up to?[/b] [B]Uriel [/B]had devoted himself to astronomical researches. He had identified, and discovered the basic nature of, four of the new planes: Fourmyle – the new plane of space, with an Empowerment aspect that enabled the new teleportation phenomenon (that would soon become widely known as Fourmyle Jaunting); Baden – a small, spectral moon around Fourmyle with a Flight aspect; Ratios – an earth plane with a Logic aspect, leading people to use reason in their arguments; and Ostea – a bloody plane of water with a Healing aspect, that was pertinent to Quratulain’s case. Uriel explained that all but the most grievous wounds would now heal themselves over time. Only a truly fatal blow – a beheading, or something similar – would cause death. This was a great relief to the rest of the unit. Uriel added, in a sombre tone, that one side-effect of the changes he had discovered was that deva (such as he) would no longer reincarnate. “Death is death,” he said. Uru clapped his hands and rubbed them together in glee: he had a long list of deva he wanted to kill, he said. The others looked at him, askance.

Uru reminded them of the nihilistic deva of Methia who wanted to die. “But they helped us,” somebody said. “So I’m going to help them,” Uru replied. [B]Leon [/B]had been side-tracked while seeking passage to Slate.
