Ragnorra Session 80

Start: 9 pm, Friday, Eleasis 20, 1396

The party questions the Shadow of the Void, a being known as Entfaerimas.

It reveals it was either called or created by Vane to stand as a sentry to this place it called the Stormway. After inspecting the area later, Ronja realized this place is the prison of the vestige, Zceryll, the Star Spawn. Vane increased the guard after an adventuring party from Mirabar made headway into whatever lies across the precipice of the Stormway.

Entfaerimas's knowledge of the place was woefully incomplete. It did not know how this place came about, other than it was possibly created by Vane via the voluntary sacrifice of a great artifact, an act of immense wrongness, or the death of a great and powerful being.

Furthermore, it reinforced that obeying the laws of the place would be to the party's advantage, due to the raging planar storm which envelops the area. If one were to leave the path, one would be brought back to the entrance, along with denizens of the far realm, plucked from their domain. This, it said, was the preferable outcome. If one were to be immune to the nature of the place and defy it, and attempt to plumb its depths, there is no telling where one could end up, or if one could even return. The far realm is a vast place with wildly varying laws loosely governing each pocket. It is the domain of alien chaos, and to attempt to fully understand it would be an exercise in futility.

Reasonably satisfied with the shade's answers, they slew him.

Moving on, the party backtracked through the places they viewed previously connected with this chamber. They collected deep crystal and decided to investigate this Stormway.

They noticed the living gate they had been carrying around now corresponded to a location on the prime.

Cassius investigated the nature of the path using his panes of force. The shade indeed appeared to have told the truth. Ivy and Ronja determined the path itself appeared to be quite vulnerable to disintegrate, as it was made of force. They kept this in mind for later, if they intended to cover their trail or make it difficult to follow them.

They made it across the gap and investigated the patch of void on the other side.

Cassius placed a torch through the opening. Halfway through, he attempted to pull it back. At first, this appeared possible, but the torch instead snapped when substantial pressure was applied.

Ivy investigated the void with her psychic abilities, and found it housed a small chamber containing a second portal. It bore strange similarities to the previous chamber, in the sense the previous chambers bore a similarity to a vascular system, and this area bore a similarity to a brain.

Collectively, they decided to revisit this site at a later time.

Vix and Ronja decamped to their demiplane, Cassius and Ivy to Cassius's alchemist.

The reagents Cassius had collected - the humor of the Genius Loci, an infected Phaerrim stinger, an Uvuudaum brain, the dust of a Phane, and the out-of-time static cloak of a phane, flesh made to stone, deep crystal, and a sample of the strange geometry of the far realm were given to him. Marveling at the bounty, the alchemist informs Cassius in one week, a capsule never before seen by man or gods will be prepared.
