Random DM nagging.

I actually keenly regret not learning Control Sound, and thought I had.

You can always retrain after the adventure.

If I us a twinned power, would that constitute casting one or two powers for the purposes of spell/power failure?

The Meanwhile at Aurora idea is awesome.

The Meanwhile at Aurora idea is awesome.

Bonus points if anyone can figure out what's going on.

I thought Gate answered this already. Baleruk was opening a slaad-run casino.

Amusing but incorrect.

Someone is trying to figure out what Aurora is and they reachout with Diplomacy. Morniel meets them and has a diplomatic endeavor with them.

Then there's something else that happens with someone trying to be uppity at which point Morniel has to put them in their place and then there's a feeble attempt at diplomacy where Morniel basically says "well okay fine, but these are our terms" and then there's someone who basically wants to do something else (maybe this is related to the first guy?)

That's what I think, anyway.

Asmoedus is trying to send statue-Muirfinn back as an apology for his son being such a failure but his packages keep getting returned.

You're close enough, Neph. Choose one in game subject.

I'm going to be boring and say Venya.

10 facts about Venya

1. The Glass Tarn (MoP 135) has multiple locations and instances, and in fact may be able to be whereever it wishes on Venya. Few know of this, as Erathaol has taken steps to hide this from all but the wisest. The comprehension of this fact and discerning why it is so is an important lesson for Erathaol's greatest servants. They are expected to discern this on their own through independent study.

2. Venya is the coldest layer of Mount Celestia. In spite of the cold, crops grow as if was warm. It can be below freezing and tropical plants will prosper. Even blizzards, ice and snowfall will not negatively impact crop growth there.

3. The Prophecy Keepers are a group who reside in Venya and oppose the efforts of chaos (primarily slaad) to render prophecies null and void. They have a grand fortress carved into the mountainside; however, it can only be found by those prophesied to do so.

4. Venya is Celestia's breadbasket. The majority of its food comes from Venya. While archons and angels do not need to eat, mortals and other visitors do. The remainder is sold or given away to aid others. Were Aurora not fully independent for food, they'd probably rely on free donations from Venya. Gold generated by the sale of foods is used to good ends, such as the Bringers of Hope and other diplomatic groups.

5. Bahamut's Palace moves between all four of Celestia's lower layers, but prefers Venya. This is due to Bahamut having the cold domain and a preference to such weather. The majority of Venya's snowfall can be traced back to acts of Bahamut, who enjoys doing so.

6. The streams of Venya run warm despite the cold weather. These streams feed directly into the River Oceanus. Lunian salmon are noted for swimming upstream to Venya to lay eggs, these eggs are both a delicacy and useful in making potions of water breathing.

7. Every once in a great while, a soul destined for Celestia will appear in Venya instead of Lunia. These souls become lantern archons that have Intelligence, Wisdom and Charisma scores of 21. They become unique outsiders in time, though they retain the general traits of a lantern archon.

8. Attempting to summon or call an evil creature within Venya will result in an equivalent creature(s) of good appearing instead. They will be hostile to the caster and free of any bonds to restrain them. They seek to subdue the caster and bring them to justice and judgment. This fact is obscure solely because precious few are foolish enough to cast an evil summoning spell in a Heaven, let alone one overseen by one of the greatest summoners in Creation. It is not widely known that this is an active intervention rather than a passive effect, after all, if one was fated to cast such a spell, others must be in position to ensure it does not happen as planned.

9. It is whispered that there is a great reserve on Venya where Erathaol breeds the mighty creatures he summons. The nature and power of these creatures is likely why it is unverified.

10. Natives of Venya are always literate, even if they only have levels in classes that would normally enforce illiteracy, such as barbarian. Most natives grow up around a library of some sort or otherwise are exposed to books at a young age.
