Day 1, Morning
You look around, trying to adjust to your new situation and lifestyle.
You are all standing in the arrival terminal of what appears to be an enormous airport. The place is packed, with all sorts of humanoids, all of whom look tired, bored, and mildly annoyed. Some bustle around, some slowly wander here and there, many others lounge or nap in somewhat uncomfortable vinyl chairs. A large sign announces your new home:

Welcome to Hello Airport
So there you are, sure enough.
Your heads are foggy, as though you just woke up. It takes a bit of effort to recollect your identities, your memories, and your lives. Looking around, you see your friends, restored to flesh as they were just before death: Dave, Fist of Odin, looking sharp in magic platemail. Brogg, half-breed champion of Grisbane. Cinder, cunning Blackwall Thief. Marivhon, warrior monk of the Grisbane temple. And Renwick, powerful magic-user. No Mike the zombie, though.
You do seem to have all your gear, minus the potions expended in the final battle vs. Lord Skullbones. Your spells are as they were before, that is, you're mostly out of spells. While the experience you gained from the final battle in D1 has been noted, and some of you surely leveled, you cannot train while in the underworld.
Dave FoO clues you in as to Abbey's words and deeds, as he's the only one who was aware of all that. You have one week. You get to work.
You begin by heading to an information desk. A zombie clerk- yes, there are many undead workers here- turns to address your questions. He nods and pages a few names on a crackling, noisy intercomm. Nothing immediately seems to happen.
Marivhon, nearby is a large map of terminal G, which is where you are now. Apparently there are terminals A..Z altogether, and various hallways run off the edge of the map to connect to the other terminals. Sure enough, there's a VIP lounge called 'Captain Charley's Cigar Bar'. There's no obvious internet cafe listed though, but you do see a cofee shop 'Carbunkle's Brew'. Dave FoO, you can't seem to find a wireless internet connection, so you can't IM Vrill.
Carbunkle's Brew has lattes, cappucinos, mochas, and chai lattes, but no internet terminals either. You see a minotaur clumsily typing away at a laptop that's way too small for his huge hands, and you think he's playing some online FPS, but it turns out it's just his screensaver. Huh.
You head to the cigar bar in search of Vrill. There are a couple pirates, a fighter, four elves playing euchre, and a vampire. Marivhon, you enquire about him... make a CHA check. If you want to buy a cigar, add a +1 bonus to your check for every 15 gp you spend on the cigar, maximum of +3.
