Finding Afame's fame (Afina)

[Anastasia]

You want to investigate improving Afame further, Afina? A fair call. How do you mean to go about it? Did I give you anything specific or was it vaguer?

[Ebiris]

You were pretty vague, I originally figured it'd just passively grow along with Afina and you mentioned there could be quests to improve it.

edit: for ideas of my own, since killing badass stuff with it doesn't do much maybe exposing it to places of elemental potency? Maybe on the quasi/para-elemental planes rather than the big four to fit with the prismatic theme?

[Anastasia]

Certainly, you could try that. What planes are you interested for in particular?

[Ebiris]

Lets start with the para-elemental plane of Smoke?

[Anastasia]

Make an K:P check then.

There are several notable places.

The Hidden City. A hidden refuge, perhaps a demiplane, said to exist somewhere in Smoke. It's said you can find virtually anything there, even water and clean air.

Gasping Tomb. The place where smoke para-elementals go to die, or so it is said. Stories say they lie down and somehow choke to death at this point, which is whispered to be an intensely powerful point of elemental power within Smoke.

The Choking Palace: The Prince of Smoke is known as Ehkahk. He is neither evil nor good, and attempts to strike a balance between the various forces interested in Smoke, such as other archomentals and the genies. He is a powerful individualist who has a massive palace that eternally burns incense that clouds the eyes of all but his servants and worshipers. The palace of an archomental is surely vastly powerful.

[Ebiris]

The Gasping Tomb sounds good! She'll go see if she can drag Simmer out of the lava baths to go on a trip there to get away from all this water.

[Anastasia]

You find Simmer up to her neck in runny, watery lava. She takes one glance at you as you enter, "Are you coming in here for sanity or to try and talk me out of here?" she asks right away, huddling into the lava.

[Ebiris]

"Talk you out of here," Afina says, going to kneel at the edge beside the pyrodryad and dipping a hand into the lava beside her. "Don't worry, it's to someplace dry. How do you feel about taking a trip to the para-elemental plane of Smoke?"

[Anastasia]

"Don't wanna," Simmer shakes her head, sinking further in, up to her chin. She then looks over to you, "Though Smoke would be nicer than Water. Why are you going and where in it are you going? Well, maybe, if it's better than Water. Almost anything is."

[Ebiris]

"I'm trying to find sources of elemental power to infuse into Afame," Afina pats the hilt on the left behind her back. "And I'm going to a place called the Gasping Tomb. It's where para-elementals go to die and is supposed to hold intense elemental power."

[Anastasia]

"Die? Elementals don't die unless you kill them." Simmer half rises out of the lava, "That doesn't make sense. You're not making sense."

[Ebiris]

"I'm just going by the stories," Afina shrugs. "They go there to die and then they choke to death. Hopefully we won't choke to death if we go there, now that I think of it..."

[Anastasia]

"Yeah, that's a problem. We need something to stop that. I like living," Simmer scowls, getting out of the pool. "Fine, fine. I'll go, but you'd best have a way out in case we start choking and dying."
