Session 118: A Very Special Session

The Lucky Seven awoke to another rainy day in Sigil, it has rained more often than not here in the conceptual center of the multiverse. Bucky was greeted in the morning by the small Sphinx like construct, Greg, and also found her skin slightly translucent. Both effects of her connection to The Infernal Machine. Her plans which would soon be interrupted were to spend the day copying a new spell into her Codex Drydalus.

Meanwhile, Rhys, Gram, Bip, and Something left to run some errands. After a heartfelt exchange between Rhys and Gram in which Gram confessed some shocking and dark truths about changes he was undergoing to Rhys, the group went out into the rain. Starting in the Clerks Ward, they purchased a map of the multiverse, and decided to take a tour by flying metal manta ray of Sigil.

Muffy had pretty simple plans: head to a farmer’s market, buy some dates, head back to the Inn and make some date balls to take along with the food from Zadara to wherever you went next. At the market however, in search of a unique delicacy, she was sent to a vendor selling water from Elesiyum. Purchasing one of the 100 gp bottles and asking what it does she was told it was the best water she would ever have, and that after, no water would compare. And back in the Inn with Bucky she found this true. She guzzled the bottle and when Bucky told her she was acting funny, Muffy jumped out of the second story window and started flying right back to the farmer’s market to get more. Bucky in hot pursuit on the carpet of flying caught up, however she was not able to stop Muffy’s thirst, and Muffy even overpowered Bucky, held her down on the carpet, and forced a drop of the water into Bucky’s mouth in the aim of exposing her friend to something wonderful! And it was! The best water Bucky had ever had as well. No other water could compare.

As this was happening, Rhys, Gram, and co. were flying on the metal manta ray, and spotted all of this. Rhys confused as to how to operate the manta ray was left alone as Gram took off towards Muffy and Bucky in his bird form. Despite their efforts, Gram and Bucky were unable to stop Muffy from buying 6 more bottles of this water (Muffy mark off 600 gold and 2 copper for the water & the dates).

After Bucky chained Muffy up in their Inn with her water, Muffy having gone through another 4 bottles, finally Rhys came to Muffy’s aid and with his power of Lathander and the Phoenix helped Muffy to gain some self control. He then immediately tried the water and agreed there would never be any water in his life that would ever compare.

Bucky getting back to work, the others went back out, the first stop The Brothel for Slacking Intellectual Lust where they met two of the strange former inhabitants of Mechanus, two Mordrons. These beings told their three clients that the portals to Mechanus were sequential, the next one would be in 54 days, appearing in the Market Ward in the form of a being known as a cortocelestial. With the port key in the proper configuration, they could enter the cortocelestials mouth and appear in Mechanus. However Mechanus being an infinite plane, it would then be necessary to find a way to Regulas, the capital city in the Mordron empire, where Primus would be and where The Heart of Mechanus would also be though they in no uncertain terms told the group that Primus would not let them take the heart.

With the time it would take for the portal to Mechanus to appear, rather than spending some much deserved down time in Sigil, the group decided to head out to the paraelemental plane of ooze. With a couple more stops that brought Rhys’ spending total for the day to well over 10,000 gold, Rhys made his biggest jink drops of the day, first on a new artificially grown, but functional for his purposes diamond, and also for a new magic set of armor, an incredibly finally crafted set of dwarven plate that even his already very nice plate armor could not compare to.

The group is now all assembled, making your way though the nicest part of Sigil, The Lady’s Ward, you made your way to the manor of the titan Zadara who had left you the various gifts and important notes for your trip (see e-mail). As you arrived, the various courtiers began murmuring about the arrival of the Arato Lux, and Zadara has decreed, let the feast begin!
