Sigil has shattered in the Milling
No one could foresee what happened next…
Episode XX
A New Twilight
Back in BRUX, the party regroups to consider their options while other former-prisoners of the SPECTRUM have managed to gain some new information. While some things have returned to the way they were, others have been altered.
In this vast realm of thought from among the dead gods, ALYXIAN calls out seeking aid from his plight. The ASTRAL ELVES gather power from across the multiverse. Forges able to break PLANAR MANACLES burn brightly in the PIT OF ARODEN.
Without SIGIL maintaining balance, forces are rallying beings from across the planes to respond to the conflicting calls of LAW and CHAOS, GOOD and EVIL, RESTORATION and DESTRUCTION.
Regrouping on the shore, the party determines to return to the “easy score” and collect the goods. Aimo notices Irvan has an injury on his arm through the manacle return and says he would like to share his secret when they get a chance.
They take a quick stopover at Brux for Dinner, where Aimo convinces the heist crew to back off the job and then together with 44 they get information about the new job from Deltara who tells them they can find out more at the Lock & Key at the Pit of Aroden.
Aimo purchases some gold star stickers from Dok-Oldar that may be more than they appear to be.
Back on board, Aimo shares his secret with Irvan, and they exchange burdens (trinkets). (Irvan’s Trinket: Dancing Lights/Heroism/Counterspell)
At the Nautiloid, another ship is currently raiding the ship. The Spectrum hides among the astroids and they move off. Once the coast is clear the party boards the ship and discovers some of the cargo.
The episode ends with the party mid combat with the neh-thelaggu they fought before, as 44 suffers a flashback to the previous brain slurping.
