"Everything is possible, but Kossuth's loss would be a more direct threat to the others, if only because it means the Crimson Firebrand can use his allies to invade Water in total war and see from there."

"He might not stop with Fire," Kascha agrees, "What would happen if he conquered the Elemental Planes? He may well be one of the greatest powers in Creation then, such as the High One or Queen Morwel."

"If things get that dire we'll just have to install Sanzha as the ultimate ruler of the Inner Planes," Seira decides. "Right then, lead on, Kascha?"
<Steph> I might have made a terrible mistake

Anastasia

Kascha wills you all ahead, but nothing happens.

"Eh?" Kascha murmurs, "Something's blocking teleportation around Bwimb's palace. That's strange. She wants people to come there, not keep people away. She's lonely."

"Contact her directly, please, and ask her if she needs assistance. If so, I'll try to break through with my authority."
<Steph> I might have made a terrible mistake

Anastasia

Kascha does so and then, "I'm not getting an answer," She says in a small voice. "Something's really wrong, Seira."

That's ridiculous, there's no way someone knew what she was going to do and heading to Ooze is such an off the wall choice a coincidence can't really happen. So what does that leave, an unrelated local problem or information security issues? On Kossuth's side, at that?

Gathering her power, Seira intends to transport the four of them over to Bwimb's residence.

DvR?

Ah.

You appear in stretched, broken space. Everything goes too far and too short at once. Everything is spread apart. Here is there and ahead is upside down. Kascha is both below you and twisted to be behind you while looking around in front of you. Space is incoherent and strange, features so mashed together that it may as well be nothing and everything at once.

Something's wrong with space here. What happened?

Kascha gasps - and it comes from every direction in different modularities, volumes and pitches. It's like a scream, a whisper, a strong voice, a man's voice, a woman's voice and far more at once.

Don't even bother with spoken words. Something's gone gravely wrong here. Space and reality is twisted all about. This has to be Bwimb's work, or someone's destroyed her and is both playing with her realm and able to keep it intact.

She has to be alive! Don't even say that!

More likely she's indisposed by whatever's happened here. If so, we find Bwimb and we can solve this.

Since Bwimb is not responding to divine speech from a friend, and space in her realm is messed up, we are proceeding on the assumption that this is not her doing or wish, Seira tells the others. On my mark, we will expand the effortts of Sanzha and I to reconfigure this space into a more conventional form. Channel your efforts through me.

After a pause, Seira begins a short countdown, whereupon she uses her divine power!

With a loud SNAP space immediately around you regains some measure of sanity. It's a small room, perhaps for storage or something similar. There is no ooze here, only walls of refuge, stone and slime.  A single door leads out, intact here at least.

Seira gives it a cursory check for traps and magic before opening it to lead the way out.
<Steph> I might have made a terrible mistake

Anastasia

No traps, but opening it shows distortion ahead.

"So we made a little safe area," Kascha comments aloud, peering ahead at the madness.

Seira nods in response, studying the magic.

I assume it's not chronomancy, but do I have an idea of just how space is broken? And do I think spamming divine will as I go on is possible?
