[OoC: Sorry, my stay-cation got interrupted when I picked up some overtime. The sick staff that I was covering for returns Monday so my hours should return to normal. ]
Since Forge doesn't seem to follow up with any purchases, [I assume] the group decides to return to Simon's Lab...
It doesn't take more than 10 minutes to return to the Lab. Simon and the others all seem happy to see you all. Kee's cat jumps off the window sill and pads over to it's master and begins to meow at Kee.
"I was terribly worried about you," Piper exclaims while he and the kobold's twin run past everyone to hug Ningalu. Piper then looks over his shoulder at the rest of the group adding, "The rest of you too, of course."
The wolf-hound strolls over to the group, sits down on its hunches and begins to pant while not looking at anyone in particular. If someone pets him he gladly accepts the scratches behind the ears.
Simon then says to Betimi, "The first day went well. Your item should be completed by tomorrow."
To the rest of you he says, "I believe I know where you should travel to next. There are ruins that to my knowledge have never been explored. Or at least no one has returned from the ruins to tell anyone what lays within them. Unfortunately getting to the ruins are going to be extremely difficult. The land surrounding the ruins are a desolate wasteland called the Cacotopic Stain that was created by the unreliable magical energy known as Torque, created by Torque Bombs. Torque leads to strange mutations, altering both living creatures and the inanimate environment. There is no limits to the horror's that this energy can create. I've heard of a railway carriage and its three occupants who were transmogrified by the Torque into a blob of semi-solid matter containing three nuclei! Obviously we must try to get as close to the ruins as possible before attempting to enter the Cacotopic Stain. Because the longer you're immersed in the Torque energy, the more likely you will be mutated into some new thing."
"Since you are off-worlders I do not know what you're capable of. Do any of you have any suggestions for how we might pass through the Cacotopic Stain?"
