Level 10: Solar Observatory
The Solar Observatory is a single, large, round room, with a very high domed ceiling. It contains a massive telescope... not a Galileo spyglass style thing, but a very modern looking massive steel cylinder that's about 10 feet across and four stories tall.
There's also a computer terminal next to it.
And a familiar looking, grayed-out ornate mirror. A long SCSI cable connects the computer to the mirror.
And Abbey.
The room is brilliant with sunlight, as the dome is open. Golden rays stream in and reflect off the rather shiny walls.
...
Abbey is a young half-elven lady, somewhere in her teens, with massive scarring all around her neck. She's not wearing the old gown Mike gave her, she's just wearing normal clothing.
For those of you not familiar with the details of Abbey's life, please check the campaign summary page linked on the sidebar.
Dave FoO asks some questions.
"Fight? Each other? I doubt it. I'll remind you that I brought most of you back to life, and as such, you're incapable of harming me. New people, hello, my name is Abagail Vrill. I'm..."
ZOM-G:
> HI
> U GOT PIX?
> TITS OR GTFO
Abbey pauses, looks at the party and Zom, then continues: "As for the..."
> TITS OR GTFO!
Abbey Forcecages ZOM-G to shut him up. You see the little guy take his chainsaw, tap the walls testing them, then just stand around.
"Wow," says Abbey. "So is this your new entry for Worst NPC?" She shakes her head and looks at Zom. "Well, I guess with my father and Gregolas Half-Elven, the competition is pretty steep."
"Anyway, speaking of friends, your pal Mike, no, he's no more. He's likely in Hello or The Abyss- you might be able to visit him there."
"You want to leave the Castle. To get the shield to go down, you'll have to kill my father... he's the last remaining member of the group who built it. I'm here to facilitate that process. Just go through the mirror and find him. You've been in there before, so you know what to expect."
Abbey types some stuff into the computer and the mirror shimmers, opening a gateway.
"To make your job easier, here. Here are a couple things to take."
Abbey gives you a scroll, of Anti-Magic shell- three rounds protection from magic in a 10' unmovable radius. You cast within the shell, just not across it.
She also gives you a rune-covered skull, and explains that this will allow priests (of Zelba) to rememorize spells in the other dimension. She reminds you, Brogg and Dave FoO, that you're still technically priests of Zelba.
"I suppose it's customary to say 'good luck' or some such phrase. So... 'good luck'."
...
Abbey drops the forceshield, and crosses her arms. Zom heads over to the mirror and looks at it quzzically.
