Journey Into Limbo

**Journey Into Limbo** was a two shot DMed by Shane. A group of adventurers attempted to find God and became mortal enemies of the githyanki.

## Synopsis

The Adventurers' League called together a meeting of all of the greatest adventurers in Anthologos, as well as some other assorted weirdos, to discuss how to defeat Vecna. After Pauline and Aera failed to reconcile over the events of Gilderain Fashion Week, Horne Hornblower began a presentation. He explained how his adventuring party, Manticore Rights Watch, had defeated Vecna before, but had all except him been killed in the process. He had recovered Vecna's phylactery- a featureless metal rod- but had been unable to destroy it. He was worried that that rod was somehow binding Vecna to the material plane, and they'd have to deal with it if they wanted to defeat him.

During the presentation, Luric Miraran, Angel Salvatore, and Brygg'id asked a number of questions, which caught the attention of the cleric Aleat. Aleat approached the trio and explained that his god- Limbo, the manifestation of cosmic chaos- was largely responsible for the seemingly random nature of life in Anthologos, but that Aleat had not been able to contact him since the appearance of Vecna. Both worried for his god and suspecting that the two events may be connected, Aleat asked the adventurers to journey with him to the plane of Limbo and try to locate the deity. The group set off for a portal located to the north of the headquarters, just as Yougo Tchabhess was initiating an orgy.

The party rode north until they reached the portal. Upon their arrival they found a githyanki raiding ship preparing to go through the portal also. Reasoning an airship would make travel through Limbo a lot easier, the party snuck on board and began driving the githyanki from the ship. After a tough fight, they successfully removed all of the githyanki from the ship save for the captain, Yallag. As this was happening, Aleat piloted the ship through the portal.

Yallag surrendered, and Luric took her silver sword. She requested to be held in her quarters, however Brygg'id searched her quarters first. She found a sending stone, which she immediately used. On the other end was the Lich Queen Vlaakith. After an exchange much like every other interaction Brygg'id tended to have with people, Vlaakith swore to destroy the elf.

Angel then took Yallag down to the brig, where she found Sheena Spearbreaker. Sheena agreed to accompany the party in finding Limbo just as Brygg'id spotted an approaching githzerai ship. Brygg'id flew over to the githzerai ship and told their leader, Unzath, how they had come to possess the githyanki ship. Eventually the party agreed to hand Yallag and the githyanki weapons over to Unzath, in exchange for some healing potions and a good knife.

Aleat continued to sail until the party reached a floating plateau, where he said he sensed Limbo. The party found a talking badger under a rock. The badger, who changed into a bat, denied being Limbo, but advised them to look under the other rock on the plateau. Under that rock, Angel found a chaos beast, who attempted to kill the party. After an anarchic fight involving shrinking, cannons, skeletons, a satyr, some gemstones, and Sheena's new pet chaos snake Nicki, Luric finally killed the beast with a bellows.

The party then confronted the shapeshifting critter again. It admitted to being Limbo, and informed them that he had in fact let Vecna into Anthologos as he had been bored. It had not been his intention for Vecna to bind himself to the material plane though, and so he had been hiding in embarassment ever since. At Sheena's suggestion he agreed to help take down Vecna- if they could get Vecna onto the plane of Limbo, he could could send him back out into the multiversal void. His powers were however limited outside his plane, so they would need the help of a planar expert- Limbo recommended Ortis Gottler.

Limbo then returned the party with their ship to the Adventurers' League Headquarters. After loudly interrupting a strategy meeting, the party introduced Limbo the the Adventurers' League and recounted what happened. Cressida informed them that they believed Gottler was in Gilderain, but the city was currently in the midst of a revolution which might prove problematic. Yougo Tchabhess attempted to flirt with Limbo, eventually resulting in Yougo and Xander Gander being sent by Limbo to his plane. Finally, Michael arrived, and expressed interest in the god of chaos.
