'Unknown.'

Meanwhile as they all listen, "Narrow it," Sylvie suggests, "It's hitting on someone's protections now I suspect."

[Nephrite]

'What is one question I can ask that is known that will add the best chance of success to our current information?'

[Anastasia]

'Where can you find Guhl.'

[Nephrite]

Well, he may as well ask since he has the spell available.

'Where can I find Guhl?'

[Anastasia]

'The Lost Fortress of Amanar.'

[Nephrite]

'Is there anything I need to know about that place that I wouldn't otherwise uncover in a cursory investigation of it before we try and go there?'

13/18

[Anastasia]

'It is not as lost as the name suggests.'

[Nephrite]

He's pretty sure Medi answers these questions sometimes.

"Anything else we want to know?" Moore's avatars asks the others.

[Anastasia]

"At the moment, I think we're sufficiently informed," Sylvie decides, "We have enough to work on."

[Nephrite]

Moore dismisses the spell!

Take 10 on K:P for 119 for Guhl as well as The Lost Fortress of Amanar.

[Nephrite]

I'll figure this out later but it looks like the actual right number is 115 and not 119.

[Anastasia]

Guhl is said to be an escaped, unique demon from the Abyss. A vagabond said to be wise and apathetic to most things, but he knows things. In reality you know he's a grandchild of a demon lord, sometimes claimed to be Graz'zt (generally considered false by the wise), Malcanthet (possible), Pazuzu (unlikely but not impossible) or Zuggtmoy (highly improbable but persistent). Regardless of the truth, he's not divine but he is powerful.

The Lost Fortress was found ages ago. It's now a part of the Crawling City, or it was until an unknown circumstance blasted it into the Astral. Fortunately for it they came on the githyanki, who so helpfully evicted most of the daemons and took it for themselves. It's a fortress on the Astral now, home to a few groups of githyankis.

[Nephrite]

"So, what are our options for talking to this Guhl person?" Moore asks. "Should we just go directly to Vlaakith on this, or try something more subtle? I mean... she'll know regardless if we try and be subtle."

[Anastasia]

"Cut the middle man out and contact him," Kaja says immediately, "We can do that with a bare effort of will now. Why involve the gith if we don't have to?"

"If it's that easy," Xandra notes, "I do not foresee this being that simple."

[Nephrite]

"I always assume things will be harder than we want them to be." Moore says.

Regardless...

'Guhl. My name is Moore, are you able to speak with me like this?'
