 Chaos Soup: Offices
    The door you just past trough lead to the all purpose office of the "Chaos Soup". The walls are colored with a multitude of meaningless paintings, except for a board where numerous notes, adds and warrants are pinned. In the middle of it all is a wooden table surrounded by used chairs. There is a specific one for every member and a lot of others for visitors, who are always welcomed. A rocking chair stands next to a bookshelf, fulled of books, and a small table, all of them same soft wood. In the far left corner, a door blocks the way to the second floor, where the members rests. On the far right, another black door stands with the word 'Meeting Room' on it. Between the two doors is a bar, incrusted in the wall.
  Skimbleshanks says, "Hi Trinity."
  Skimbleshanks says, "So Trinity, what has become of Neven and Heregul?"
  Trinity smiles innocently, "Why, whatever do you meen, you know Heregul always flees from me on sight...."
  Skimbleshanks says, "I heared from a reliable source you saw him and Neven do some junk together."
  You say, "There was one insident the other day, but I only caught the end of it"
  Skimbleshanks says, "Did Neven die?"
  You say, "No, from my understanding much worse"
  Skimbleshanks says, "Oooh, what?"
  You say, "It seems that Heregul used a truename spell on him, binding him in some way"
  Skimbleshanks says, "Bah, thats useless. The only good Yugoloth is a dead one."
  Trinity giggles
  You say, "I was rather upset myself"
  Skimbleshanks says, "Did he just make him serve him or turn him to all that sweetness and light
  You say, "Turned him to all that light and sweetness stuff"
  Trinity looks ready to vomit
  You say, "Even Neven deserved better then that...."
  Skimbleshanks says, "Etch, I know. Just kill the godsdamn bastard. Even I woulden't want a Yugoloth netting butterflies all day—though that the idea of an Ultroloth doing so is pretty funny."
  You say, "I'm still anoyed, Neven agreed to pay me for Shikina's capture, but interfered, so I never recieved my payment for attacking the little wench...."
  Skimbleshanks says, "Thats an Ultroloth, he probably woulden't even have paid you if he remained the same."
  You say, "And, to top it of, he wound up killing her, and Gul now rambles on how it is MY fault!"
  Skimbleshanks says, "Thats a Guardinal for you, he probably woud have blamed you for something else if you didn't anyway."
  You say, "What do you expect from those proclaiming themselves the ultimate good?"
  Skimbleshanks says, "I expect them to eventually die out due to stupidity."
  Trinity giggles
  You say, "We couldn't be so lucky....."
  You say, "Ah, I have good news, I spoke with Nexus earlier, and I told him how I wouldn't mind you as a Soup member, so he will want to speak with you as soon as posible about it"
  Skimbleshanks says, "Good, I have to see him soon."
  Skimbleshanks says, "Ancient Spirits of Evil, summon the Yugoscope!"
  Trinity blinks
  Purple lightning crackles and an obsidian orb appears in front of Skim.
  Skimbleshanks says, "This is my Yugoscope."
  Skimbleshanks says, "Its an artifact I got from Huggrek's church last night,"
  You say, "What does it do?"
  Skimbleshanks says, "Watch!"
  Trinity grins mischeviuosly
  Skimbleshanks says, "Ancient Spirits of Evil, show me the Oionoloth!"
  Trinity half chokes and half giggles at those words
  Lightning shoots out of the orb and strikes the far wall. The wall shimmers to show an Ultroloth with a regal dressing siting upon a throne discussing Blood War strategy with some Arcanoloths.
  Skimbleshanks says, "I can view and listen to any Yugoloth and his immedieate surroundings."
  Skimbleshanks says, "And if I collect all of the Scopes, I can divine their True names!"
  You say, "Um, ouch.... how many scopes are there?"
  Skimbleshanks says, "One for every type of Celestial, Fiend, and Cordant."
  You say, "That is quite a few...."
  Skimbleshanks says, "So, thats 13"
  You say, "And this is the only one you have obtained?"
  Skimbleshanks says, "Yes, but I am close to finding the next one. And hopefully the Great Fatso will give me the Gehrehscope."
  You say, "That would be conveinent...."
  Trinity smiles
  Skimbleshanks says, "Ancient Spirits of Evil, end this transmition and return the orb to Carceri!"
  The ord flashes and is gone.
  Skimbleshanks says, "This is quite delightfull, but don't breathe a word of this to anyone who is a goody twoshoes, especially Heregul because he will try and stop me from taking the Guardiscope."
  Skimbleshanks says, "The hardest to get will be the Guardiscope."
  You say, "I could imagine, are you aware of where it is located?"
  Skimbleshanks says, "Yes, the Tower of the Holy See in Amoria, besides we Gehreleths, the Guardinals aret he only ones in possesion of their scope."
  Skimbleshanks says, "It will be prettey hard to find a portal from Othrys to Amoria. Luckily the scope is only Guarded by 4 Ursinals and a 3 or 4 Cervidals."
  You say, "Does Yggdrasil touch that layer?"
  Skimbleshanks says, "It might, we had best end this conversation."
  Sefer wanders in, looking somewhat confused.
  You say, "Yes, I recal now, Yggdrasil does touch Elysium...."
  You say, "Sefer is alright"
  Sefer looks up as he enters. "Am I interupting something private?"
  You say, "He may even provide assistance"
  Skimbleshanks says, "It is not that important anyway."
  Sefer says, "What is it that you need help with?"
  Skimbleshanks says, "Well... do you know of a reliable way to get to Amoria in secret."
  Sefer says, "Amoria? I don't even know where that is... but I can find out."
  Skimbleshanks says, "Err, never mind, it is the first layer of that cursed plane of stupidity, Elysium."
  Skimbleshanks says, "Almost as bad as Bytopia."
  You say, "Worse"
  Sefer says, "Hmm... That shouldn't be hard."
  You say, "That god forsaken path one must follow to get anywhere"
  Skimbleshanks says, "Hmm, do you guys want to spy on some Yugoloths, or go see if my informant has any information yet?"
  You say, "What sort of information?"
  Skimbleshanks says, "On the Slaadiscope. It is here in Sigil, as the tablets in the Crisco Ruins have told me, but I do not know exactly where."
  You say, "Sefer?"
  Sefer says, "Interesting... what do you plan to do when you have collected all the scopes?"
  Sefer says, "Trin?"
  You say, "You wish to get that information, or view a few lolths first?"
  Skimbleshanks says, "That is something of a secret. Once I have collected and safely stored all the scopes I will reveal the truth to my allies."
  Sefer says, "I want to view 'loths... can we look at Neven?"
  Skimbleshanks says, "Of course."
  Skimbleshanks says, "Ancient Spirits of Evil, summon the Yugoscope!"
  Purple lightning crackles and an obsidian orb appears in front of Skimbleshanks.
  Skimbleshanks says, "Ancient Spirits of Evil, show us Neven!"
  Purple lightning emits from the orb to strike the far wall. An image of an Ultroloth arranging flowers in a vase while humming "On the good ship lolly pop" appears.
  Trinity giggles
  Skimbleshanks laughs like Jabba the Hutt.
  Sefer says, "That has got to be one of the most disgusting things I have ever seen..."
  Trinity giggles more
  Skimbleshanks says, "It is pretty funny too."
  Skimbleshanks says, "Ancient Spirits of Evil, end your transmition."
  Skimbleshanks says, "Ooo, how about the General of Gehenna?"
  Sefer says, "Please do!"
  Trinity sighs
  Skimbleshanks says, "Something wrong Trin?"
  You say, "Oh, nothing, proceed"
  Sefer looks at Trin, concerned.
  Skimbleshanks says, "Ancient Spirits of evil, show us the General of Gehenna."
  The lightning hits the far wall and a picture of an Ultroloth wearing a royal warriors regalia. The Heart of Darkness can be seen as a brooch on hih collar. He is practicing with a Katana on some unhappy looking Arcanoloths.
  Skimbleshanks says, "Hmm, must be rivals."
  Skimbleshanks says, "Anceint Spirits of Evil, end this picture."
  The picture fades from the wall.
  Skimbleshanks says, "Should we check on the Slaadiscope."
  Sefer says, "Sure."
  You say, "Sounds good to me"
  Skimbleshanks says, "Follow me."

 The Mortuary: Funeral Hall


    The great domed room that is the Funeral Hall is held up by huge gothic pillars, and intricately carved flying buttresses run the length of the room. Long pews lead up to a great altar which priests practice prayer services from. The faces of the first thirteen factols of each represented faction are carved in a circular pattern on the altar. In the center of the circle is a huge visage of the Lady, her serene gaze fixed on the great oak coffin that sits in the center aisle. Incense burns, filling the air with sweet smoke, and the somber tones of a gigantic harpsichord fill the air.
  The Funeral Hall is strangeley devoid of dustmen.
  Skimbleshanks walks up to the Altar. "Akc ghrom allas ghestro amin ach oval."
  A Shadow Fiend emerges from the shadows behind the altar.
  Shadow Fiend says, "Achoo ghema sevat homn novstal"
  Skimbleshanks says, "Allgoriga Apomps veristu nmi angonstica?"
  Shadow Fiend says, "Netich"
  Skimbleshanks says, "Amvormav, logstica."
  "Neflogstica."
  The Shadow Fiend remerges with the shadows.
  Skimbleshanks walks down from the Altar.
  You say, "Skim?"
  Skimbleshanks says, "He had the information. There is a possibility a guvner Astral Deva has it."
  Trinity sighs, "Stupid devas....
  Skimbleshanks says, "I agree. I suggest we go to his kip on Dunde Bulevard."
  Sefer says, "Are we breaking and entering?"
  Skimbleshanks says, "Do you have a problem with that?"
  Trinity grins, and takes out the Nullstone, "Yes, a visit may be nice...."
  Sefer says, "Not per se, I just try to avoid breaking the law when I can be identified..."
  Skimbleshanks says, "Hmm, I have just the thing."
  Sefer polymorphs into a nondescript human.
  Sefer says, "This'll work"
  Alice has arrived.
  Skimbleshanks says, "Alice, could you cast an illusion spell on us so we look like humans and trin looks like a Marilith?"
  Alice nods
  You say, "I can cover myself"
  Sefer says, "Modrons can use illusion?"
  Alice waves her hands and Skim looks like a fat Merkhant.
  Alice says, "Yes, only wild magic is barred from us."
  Skimbleshanks says, "You can go now Alice."
  Alice has left.
  Trinity takes what appears to be sometype of hood from her pouch, placing it over her head.
  Trinity's form then shimers and where she once stood there is now a Marilith
  Skimbleshanks says, "Ok, fake names. I'm Pasta Fazoul."
  Trinity hisses, "Heee will nevvverr know my naaamee...
  Sefer says, "Call me Eyce."
  Skimbleshanks says, "Just in case, it will be good to make a new one. How about an easy one like "Hiss""
You say, "Perhapss nott...."
(<OOC> Pennino'bo giggles)
  Skimbleshanks says, "Ok then, sally forth!"
  Pennino'bo slithers forth

 Lady's Ward: Duende Boulevard


    One of the more castle-like homes here seems to have an enchantment on its gates, singing one of the most incredible tunes you've ever heard. It's as if the devas themselves decided to entertain mortals through the power of their voices. The aria makes you feel good to be alive.
  Pasta says, "Ok, do you see that mansion over there, thats his house."
  Eyce tugs pitifully at the mansion gate.
  You say, "fall behind troopsss"
  Pasta gets behind Pennino'bo
  Pennino'bo slithesrs up to the puny gate
  Eyce gets behind
  With her two lower arms, in one quick blow, Penn easily smashes the gates open
  Pasta hurries in and around the building to look for a kitchen door
  You say, "Let usss, enter now...."
  Eyce follows Pennino'bo
  Pennino'bo slithers deeper into the house grounds
  Pasta stops before a wall covered with Razorvine.
  Pasta whispers, "I think there is a secret door here."
  Pasta says, "Does anyone know any fire spells to burn away this Razorvine?"
  Pennino'bo grins
  Pasta says, "Ooops, well forgot about you Eyce."
  Eyce grins, points at the vines, and shoots a stream of flame
  You say, "Eyce! Too Work now!"
  Eyce says, "My specialty..."
  Eyce, noting Penny's displeasure, shoots flames full force out of both hands...
  Pennino'bo grins, "Very good...."
  The fire burns the small patch of razorvines to dust. Luckily, the house is made of granite so nothing else burns.
  Pasta presses the secret door open.
  Pennino'bo grins more, "I like such enthusssiasum...."
  Pasta enters.
  Pennino'bo slithers inward
  Eyce grins up at Penny... something odd for him... before following her in.
  The inside is a broad spiriling staircase, with granite walls, there are no windows and a small puppy sleeps on the 5th step,
  Pennino'bo grins wickedly
  The puppy is very cute, and all wrinkly like a Shar Pei.
  Pennino'bo slithers up the steps with a soft hiss, instantly lowering herself grasping the unsuspecting puppy with her upper arms, sinking her hangs in and ripping the just waking puppy to shreds
  Pasta says, "Hohohoho. To bad I didn't get to do that to Shikina."
  The puppy screams horribly as it is devoured.
  Pennino'bo grins wickedly as she wipes the remaining blood from her face, "Shall we proceed?"
  Pasta says, "Yes, let us."
  Pasta begins to blubber up the steps.
  Pennino'bo slithers further upwards
  Eyce says, "Watch it, though... we should see some resistance soon."
  Pasta comes to trap door in at the end leading up into the attick.
  Pasta cracks it open so everyone can look out.
  Eyce peers outward.
  The attic has been converted to a study. It is done completley in oak wood and there are many "beautiful" tapestries of children on the wall. There are comfortable leather couches and a book case. There is a small desk with a Maridan reading and writing notes in a journal.
  Pasta says, "What should we do about the miniature genei?"
  You say, "Can we contain it, prevent it from warning othersss?"
  You say, "It musst not esscape...."
  Eyce says, "I don't trust that... a Maridan means a sha'ir, and a sha'ir will recognize my disguise... but cannot cast spells if we eliminate his pet.."
  You say, "Yesss"
  Pasta says, "Will it's sha'ir or whatever be warned of its death, or can we just contain it?"
  Eyce says, "And I doubt it can plane shift in sigil... so I think we can attack directly."
  Eyce jumps out from hiding and attempts to grab the Maridan before it can scamper away.
  Glances at the sound of someone opening the door, but instead is caught in Eyce's hold.
  Pennino'bo slithers up, asureing she is in the gen's path if it tries to flee
  Maridan says, "Aya, le'me go!"
  Pasta blubbers in.
  Eyce produces flame from his hands, burning the gen... hopefully to death.
  Pennino'bo slithers up to Eyce
  You say, "Hold"
  Eyce stops. "Why?"
  You say, "Allow me...."
  The gen screams as she is being killed by the flames.
  Pennino'bo reaches out with her top two arms
  Pennino'bo grabs the tiny creature, gripping it tightly, almost crushing it's small body
  You say, "Now sssmall one, where iss your masster....?"
  The Maridan screeches. "I's i'll neva tell ya!"
  Eyce mutters to Pennino'bo, "... master... his... much..."
  Eyce whispers "Hurry... the master is probably already on his way... kill his servant, and he will be much easier to kill..."
  You say, "Then I sshall dine"
  And with that, Pennino'bo sinks her fangs into the creatures throat, draining whatever life-fluids it has....
  Maridan says, "Oy, I's be hopin ye have a good bite then. G'by cruell world! I'll be missin ya."
  The Maridan melts into a puddle of water.
  You say, "Eyce, vaporize that plaessse...."
  Eyce burns the puddle to steam.
  Pasta says, "Hoho, let us continue."
  Pennino'bo slithers over and secures the journal the gen was reading, before proceeding onward
  Pasta says, "It is most likley the Slaadiscope is in an inner sanctum of some sort."
  Eyce says, "Now, the master and minion can communicate without words, so he is probably coming now, but weak..."
  Pasta blubbers to a spiral staircase that leads from the Attic to the second floor.
  Pennino'bo quickly slithers downward
  Eyce follows
  Pasta walks down the stairs.
  This is a long marble hallway with many rooms. In the center of the hall, you can see a spiral staircase curling down to floor number one.
  Between every room, you can see a picture of the Deva's aasimar children.
  Pasta says, "say I suppose we should only check rooms that are locked."
  Pasta begins to check the rooms, abandoning the ones that are unlocked.
  Eyce starts checking locked rooms.
  Eyce melts the locks off if he has to.
  The locked room is at the end of the hallway. The door is obsidian unlike the other marble doors.
  Pennino'bo starts ripping down pictures, shredding them in the process. Odly enough though, she only uses two arms at any given time....
  Eyce notes what Penny is up to, and starts burning the portraits as he passes them.
  Pasta asks Eyce to melt the lock on this door,
  Eyce goes up and melts the lock.
  Pasta opens the door quietly.
  Eyce as he walks past each portrait to get to the door, he burns it.
  Eyce peers through the door.
  Inside, there is a single pedestal with a glass orb on it. Inside the orb, there is the chaos stuff found in Limbo.
  Pasta says, "Ahha! The Slaadiscope."
  Pasta impulsivley grabs the orb off of the pedestal.
  Eyce waits to see what wards affect Pasta.
  As quick as a blink, two Marids appear in the air.
  Pennino'bo slithers to slightly outside the door, and peers in
  Marid says "Halt!"
  Marid2 says, "The Great Pasha has ordered that we guard Master Reenbu's treasure. Return it to us immedieatley and turn your selves in.!"
  Pennino'bo sighs
  Pasta says, "Oy! Like Bytopia I won't ye sodding leatherheads!"
  Eyce mutters something about idiotic Pashas...
  Marid extends a hand and blasts pasta with water burst.
  Pasta is thrown against a wall, and is knocked unconscious.
  Eyce suddenly bursts into a huge column of flames, which die down to reveal a huge efreeti.
  Sefer roars and releases a fireball at the pair.
  Marid2 says, "An Efreeti, look out!"
  Marid2 turns to Sefer and shoots him with a water blast.
  Sefer begins producing flames from himself, turning any water that hits him into steam
  Pennino'bo grabs Pasta and the orb....
  Pennino'bo then reaches into her pouch and removes a glistening black gemstone. Grasping Pasta's limp form and the orb, they then explodes with a bright flash of pure white light, splattering everything nearby with tiny droplets of warm, sticky red fluid.....
