Day 78, Terminal B: Oops
Okay, it's decided then. You guys hang out in Grito, special training. For Dave FoO, this takes a total of 10 weeks. You pay some money, learn some skills, etc.
You then venture down into the caves, but this requires some revisions. When you reach the bottom, again, it's still the silent, ruined temple of Zelba. But now: no Rupert, no gate. Huh.
So you shrug, venture back upstairs and head back to Grito.
Except now, the town is empty and silent. Thinking at first maybe it's just a holiday, you head into the Griffon's Claw for a drink, but no one's there. No one except for a man in red robes sitting at a table.
It's Shi Jukka, resting for a moment. He looks surprised to see you.
"What are you guys still doing down here? It's been like two, maybe three months. I thought you had a deadline of getting out of here?"
Shi goes on to explain that, in case you really couldn't figure it out by now- you're still in Hello Airport, in the infamous Terminal B. Shi says that he heard that Orcus had laid a trap for some adventurers he had a grudge against, that it was supposed to be this perfect little Prime Material Plane town, so Shi had to check it out next time he came down to Hello. Yup, all this town stuff was- or rather, is- fake.
You have a sinking feeling about the xp and training. That's right- you didn't really get 10000 xp, and you really didn't train, and you really didn't level. Please undo all changes to your character sheets. Let's make that clear for those of you just skimming these posts.
You're still in Hello.
You didn't train, you didn't level. You find all the gold you thought you spent still on the counter.
You're stuck here.
Shi shakes his head in sympathy. "Hey, look, I'm heading back to the real world soon. Anything you guys want from up there, or want me to do? I can't get you out of here, but if you have any ideas, you just let me know. Also, there's an interdimensional scrying pool in Terminal A if you need to contact me, or someone else, but it can be pricy. I'll be around here just for another day or so though. Need more memory tonic? Oh, most of you didn't drink it in the first place anyway. Well, I still appreciate you getting that book for me, regardless."
So, there we have it. The adventure's not over yet guys. Obviously the ball is in your court as to how to escape.
