GameLog 8-3-07 Xring and Ibid=NPCs)
- Fought off four space zombies (XP for two, others killed by Xring and Ibid as NPCs), Lemmy gets inflicted with the blight.
- Find a door on the opposite side 0f the room from the one they entered. Door is covered with what Lemmy recognizes as imagery about the outer planes, SIGIL, and the factions. After a period of study he realizes the faction crests are in the same order as the old lullaby16 Secrets. When he recites the poem a portal to SIGIL’s rainy landscape opens.
- Coming out in the Hive they beat feet for the market ward. When a lone psion is killed by the backlash of trying to read Casimir’s mind the riffraff give them a wide berth.
- Violetta is intrigued by the fiend touched around them in the streets, Casimir continues to rant about “where’s my ship?!?”
- In a Market Ward bar, The Bawdy Celestial, they drill Lemmy for info. He introduces them to the Mimir and tells them a bit about SIGIL. He also reveals his faction allegiances to the Sons of Mercy
- Deciding that the Guild of Doorsnoops would probably have a correct portal key they go though the bazaar until they find a guildsman. While he does not have any portal maps or keys to the Prime he does advise seeing Ursula’sInformation and Transportation, just around the corner. The group passes a fiendish restaurant where living sentients are on the menu and the stink fills the street.
- Ursula does have maps and keys to the prime, but the closest recognizable one would get them to the Rock of Bral in Spiralspace, 6 weeks travel to Dragon Rock in Realmspace. They agree and cough up the 400gp
- Ibid is far less than thrilled to find out the portal is controlled on both ends by the Temple of Celestian, his church’s arch rivals. He finally agrees to go, but grumbles continuously throughout.
- The Celestians really enjoy getting a priest of Ptah to come to them for help and harass the dwarf extensively. The party make their way through the portal (after another 200gp in fees which Lemmy offers up without even negotiating, much to Casimir’s chagrin) The amusement of the Celestians on the other side is as great as in SIGIL. Casimir not only manages to bluff his way into room and board for the night, but also talks the livid Ibib
into staying the night “at your rival’s expense. Never know what you might hear.” - That evening they hear shrieking from the main chamber, going to investigate they find many of the priests pacing and chanting, led by a hadozee priestess with a wild look in her eyes. They return to bed.
- The next morning Lemmy is deathly ill and can barely get out of bed. Violetta coughs up the 400gp needed to get the priests to cast Cure Disease on him. Ibid fumes as they perform magic beyond his ken.
- On rising they make their way to the docks to investigate possible passage. Casimir fumes about his ship continuously. They manage to book working passage on a Sindiath Line trading ship, The Swift Star.
- Having a full day before departure they decide to do some investigating, just in case. casimir pulls out his little portrait of Vanthus and they inquire of the Seekers. No Luck.
- They then head to the Rockrat where they talk and drink and lay in supplies of several bottles of OTP and Olde Peculiar.
