Chiming shimmering wall…?
o Came out in a big, open plain on grass.
Stars spinning quite fast.
o No constellations recognized. . .
Saint is wearing Krieg’s bear totem
Shapes moving around at the bases.
o Leads to ‘civilization’.
Saint would be more bajiggity if something were wrong
o Bajiggity is a good word~
o Going to a place where there was no more racial strife, and could be loved
o But chose us over that.
§ That.. is difficult, I [blot] can’t help but be touched~
o Said she couldn’t just leave us here, we’d get lost without her~
§ But she really seems to like us~
I tell them the choice I was given.
o Lafi says that she’s glad they were a better choice than omnipotence.
o Also that they apparently didn’t know me very well~
o “Actual, permanent death.”
o Not really looking at us.
Saint seems to know where we’re going.
o Lafi seems certain that Saint knows this place.
Stars moving very quickly.
o City above blotting out the sky
o Looks like we are in a ring
o People coming out and going in.
People look … incredibly varied.
o Some look like they’re going to certain portals
o Handing off papers to guards
o Portals the size of twin mansion doors
o Guards have giant weapons
Portals are incredibly magical
o Spells aren’t.. completely complicated, but very obviously a teleportation spell
o Combined with healing spells?
o Damaging spells? (A fireball in one of them?)
o Very different property.
o “You no get into city. You not from here.”
o Ren is waving him down.
o Following this blonde human
§ Says we can look at his butt.
o Looks somewhat like a human
o Dark skin, short, portly, crystals growing at his head, dirt
o Dressed decadent, eccentric, extravagant
o “You look like I could make friends with you, hello hello hello.”
o Never seen ‘your kind’ (myself, Ren) before
o Claims to have a way with the animals, and Saint backs away
New interesting people coming through
“The Cops would not be pleased if you brought anything in that was damaging.”
o “Magical artifacts that are unidentified perhaps, The Lady does not like those sort of things getting into the city without proper appraisal.”
o “If the artifacts are deemed Unknown, and a little too dangerous, they must be confiscated.”
o “Or you could pay me in ‘chuts’. 50 per?”
o Doesn’t seem to like blood or dicksucks.
o ‘don’t want to cross The Lady’
o Don’t want to attract them.
o Seems nervous about the attention from the Cops
o Offers to show us around.
o “Stories are good currency here.”
The blonde man seems much more… amieable.
o “Then we’ll both be Mazed, and I don’t think we want that, do we?”
o Drumthen goes to this tavern fairly often
§ Is offended by ‘everything sounds like vomit.’
We go with the blonde man.
City is spiraling up around a ring
o There is so many strange people and things and the city is going up the wall itself~
o For the most part, just don’t go slinging it around.
o But treat it like brandishing a weapon
o Dark clothes, pale skin, spikes in all directions, giant cleavers over their shoulders
o “Wouldn’t call them evil, just very.. very intense?”
o Everything resumes once they pass
Tall lizard men with wings
Angelic people, glowing, also wings
[there’s an abrupt scribble]
o Thinks I can’t catch it
o Looks like a sea urchin on land
o ‘doesn’t know what I’m talking about’ after stating what I was talking about.
o Some look familiar, but others look odd~
o Hasn’t seen our sort us for a long time.
o “So you’re an actual human and not just some kind of creature in disguise, right?”
o “It’s not the same.” – when Ren notes that Bran is half-human.
o Sylvan, Minotaurs, Draconic, Primordial, Common
o Tavern (we were looking for)
An entity with tentacles for a face~
o Bran says that they eat brains.
I note that portal travel is… relatively Unknown~
o Doesn’t drink brains, drinks beer
o Seems surprised that we don’t know much about portals
o Thinks that portals summoning demons was odd.
o How unfortunate! We were missing out. (on portal knowledge, not demons)
o Don’t really exist in Sigil either
o Come from the Abyssal plane
o More planes than we can count
§ Thousands, hundreds of thousands, possibly more
o Stars in the sky = worlds
§ Is the place where all planes connect
§ Like a hub of all the planes in existence
“An odd feeling, isn’t it? You think that you’re small, and then you realize how small you really are.”
Conclave of half elves in the city
The Lich would have to disguise himself
o May have gone in someone else’s body
o “flying around would have attracted the attention of The Lady.”
o A lich is like a flea to the Lady of Pain
o One of the Rulers of this city.
o Law enforcer, keeps sigil safe and orderly
o Bran has never seen her.
o The other rulers don’t come out much
o Heard tales of her showing up to deal with interlopers personally and it’s not pretty
If the portal was closed off there might have been a reason
o Doubts it will just ‘work’ again
Lafi upset about coming here illegaly
One of the other rulers The Master of Planes
o Sort of ‘shows up and does it.’
Bran doesn’t think we can speak to the rulers of the city.
o They’ll speak to you if they want to.
Very pale androgynous entity asks what to get us.
o ‘will retrieve the nottin’
o Sigil is the best place you could be in for it.
o Jobs where you go to other worlds to do a thing! How exciting~
§ [blot] I can’t help but wonder; might I have actually come from another world then? Might I have come over, or been pulled over, might I have been summoned and then forced into a body? Did I come from that ‘place in the stars’ that What is Not showed? Or was I to go there? Is that here? I need a better vantage, perhaps I will inquire, perhaps I will see if Not or that rod might show me again.
World Bran last came from
o Humans and elves and other strange creatures, potato people
o Just seemed like potatoes
Bran agrees with me, that this place is amazing~
Sal (or Lipcue, or Sastra..??)
o We’re gonna eat a weird thing~
Ren looked like she heard something
o What they said was that they commissioned something from Drumthen the Soul Smith
Can embue the souls of the dead into items
o Can fix the vessels that have been broken.
o Very well known as a powerful soul smith - Drumthen
Lafi seems worried about us accidentally making enemies
o Likely concerned Ren will be very… blunt and demanding about what she wants.
o I think we need to go ahead and see what he wants.
We get brought some weird greenish, gelatneous beef-smelling thing~
o Note: I imagine these notes will have absolutely no consistency to them and it’s amazing~
Ren drinks more at talk of her having died.
Lafi mentions the Prophesy.
Bran hasn’t heard of a Hua
o Perhaps he is from here..?
o Everyone seems to like him.
o I note that Fridiel could have known Saint, but all seem to wish it ignored.
o Outside of the Conclave not many half elves seen
Tore open the veil in an effort to take over the world
The Lady basically killed everybody
o But those who immediately bent the knee
o Either piss yourself or drop to one knee
15 feet tall, but can be tall as she needs to be
o Looks sort of like a lake
o There is something that will completely destroy you if you are foolish enough to jump in
o If you abide by the rules, she will leave you be
§ Better not hear the cops hear you say that
o Noted that I write a lot.
o Asked if I work for the Duchess of Knowledge
o One of the Rulers (Lady of Pain, Duchess of Knowledge, Master of Planes, Lord of Dominion)
o Keeper of all of the Knowledge that has been collected throughout the Planes
o If you have a question, her scholars can often give you the answer.
o “If they don’t know, nobody does.”
§ Note: Would it not be intriguing to ask them all manner of things just to see what is left Unknown~ Perhaps I could ask one of them what I am~ Perhaps I could ask them all manner of Riddles~ I must say, I’m incredibly curious of their disposition.
o Note: I had the chance to surpass her~ Terrible~
o Note: I wonder if she is omnipotent, and thus, I could guess what her existence would be like then. How awful. In that case, would those scholars just be attempting to peel Knowledge from her while she merely is with no aim..? Though that would not be much of a Ruler, unless she is but a resource. . .
o Note: I also wonder if she would dislike me, considering my affiliations. The Unknown is ever more vast and powerful in the realm of sentience than Knowledge, for all comes from and returns to the Unknown; sentience cannot be so without it, but it can be without sentience. It’s just… far more boring. Yet, the Unknown does tend towards Knowledge seekers, for they must seek. But Knowledge. . . I do not know how Knowledge would feel about the Unknown. True, What is Not is the drive to find What Is, so perhaps that balance would be respected. I would hope so. And I certainly do not wish to get in the way of seeking Knowledge, for that is to be heedless of Unknowledge.
o He doesn’t seem to know where the Library is.
Settle down where you are and deal with it.
Tore open the veil, plane travel was originally theorized.
o One of the elders that did not die.
o See what they knew of the planes before ‘tearing open the veil’.
o Perhaps how they did it.
o 1mile and a half skyward, sharp right turn at the gargoyles will come upon Drawl’s people
Master Zed = Dragonborn elder
‘Way of the Sigilian to help out’.
Questions asked of jumping too high and the result being falling up or what~
o Only answer is it’d have to be /really/ high.
o … I was tempted to teleport to see~
Don’t want to fall off, there’s no getting you back~
o Asked what his story is.
Only city in all the planes that can fix anything you need fixed.
Asked of currency of our world.
o Chut is the one that all
o Gold exchange rate isn’t that great.
o Make children’s toys out of it.
o Lafi “I can taste infinity!” Though she says it tastes bad.
o She’s.. going on a journey~
o [There are some unintelligible … scribbles? Language? It’s uncertain what’s being written here.]
o It only happens the first time. Unfortunate.
o Lafi.. held onto me~ [blot] It was nice.
o Mercenary, typically works alone, but will hang out with us for a while.
o Thinks we are the most interesting thing he’s seen in Sigil for a long time~ How flattering~
o A Bard, looking for a good song
o Doesn’t know a bard named Jon
Note: Remember to speak to the others about The Choices.

§ Somewhat magical, not entirely.
o Down the chasm, there is just Nothingness below~
o There are stars all about, like looking up into the night.
o Lafi is worried about me jumping into it~
o Have to pay the toll (5 chuts each)
o Feels like standing on a wall, before things right~
o Lafi and Ren don’t like it.
The metal ring is the same as the one we’ve seen
o Around all the portals we’ve encountered
o It seems to be around a metal dome in the center of Sigil.
o The center ring of Sigil is where the Rulers are
o Hasn’t seen this metal ring anywhere else, only there.
§ Note: How odd. And yet it’s not only around a central city where we’re from, but also appeared around the portal we just came through, showed up or was present for the Lich’s portal, the portal opened near Krieg’s tribe. [blot] Are they connected? Is there some sort of connection between the Rulers of Sigil and where those demons were coming from?
§ There’s a warmth as I consider~
