[Anastasia]

'Generally, yes.'

[Nephrite]

'Where is one place we find a Ring of Air Elemental command that is guarded by forces of evil that we would generally see as a challenge?'

Trying to be very specific with this question! It also may turn up bupkis due to the specifics.

[Anastasia]

'Unknown.'

[Nephrite]

Too specific. Figures. Maybe a little less specific...

'Where is one place we find a Ring of Air Elemental Command that is held by evil?'

[Anastasia]

'The Jangling Hiter, in particular the Flensed Tower and in the possession of Morsoel.'

[Nephrite]

Moore will search for a few more locations, just to be safe!

Handwaving him asking more questions about the same subject in case we find this particular one not to our liking. You don't have to list any, just have them potentially available.

Take 10 on whatever relevant Knowledges for 120 for where the Jangling Hiter, Flensed Tower are and who Morsoel is.

[Anastasia]

The Jangling Hiter is on Minauros, the third layer of Hell. It is a city of chains above a rotting, all consuming swamp. It is considered the main base of chain devils in Baator.

The Flensed Tower was built from the broken chains of chain devils that failed to live up to Baator's expectations. It is a prestigious location owned by various rich devils over the years, and is currently owned by Morsoel, a fallen tulani who has a great fondness for chain devils.

Speaking of, Morsoel is a tulani who fell perhaps 10,000 years ago. The details aren't clear, but he slew his sister and fled Arborea and the Court of Stars. However, you know in truth that they fell together, and the previous is a lie Morsoel and his sister, the Chained Tulani, have propagated. Both somehow became sadists and monsters of the highest degree, and chose to defect completely to Baator.

Some also suggest they've taken a page out of Belial and Fierna's book and mated to produce unspeakable horrors, though this is unsubstantiated and may be another intentionally spread lie.

Regardless, while powerful, they keep a low profile outside of Baator so are relatively little known.

[Nephrite]

Interesting...

They can't go waltzing in there, unfortunately, but... Though, perhaps they could? Surely there's some way around that... It may bear a bit of investigation and work, though.

With the Wheel they could probably do it...

"Well,  one of the places we would need to go is Minauros." Moore says. "I don't think we could just bust in there, unfortunately, but I have an alternative idea. Did you hear about the Deep Stacks? There are still a few matters there I'd like to investigate, and I have a feeling it should be a suitable challenge for us now."

[Anastasia]

"Something to beat up's good here or there or anywhere," Kaja agrees sourly.

[Nephrite]

"Great." Moore says. "Let me see if Sylvie wants to go. She has a right to, after... everything that happened there." Moore says.

Obviously anyone else is welcome, but I figured we could keep this to three for simplicity's sake.

[Anastasia]

I'm inclined to agree. Any prep?

[Nephrite]

Hit the Blessing Stone for the basics, then head on over. The last time we were here we weren't deities so I doubt it'll be any trouble to get to the Deep Stacks like it was before, and Mystra did give us permission to go there.

[Anastasia]

When you arrive at Dweomerheart, a solar awaits you. "Mystra requests your presences," he says, in a tone that suggests it's not a request at all.

[Nephrite]

"Of course." Moore says.

He wouldn't deny her request regardless!

[Anastasia]

The three of you find Mystra sitting on a throne in a darkened room. A darkness that resists even your sight, the only light Mystra and the dark throne she sits on. Her gaze is faraway as you enter, but slowly turns on the three of you once you walk in.

"Moore," she greets.
