Ahead lies...?

[Nephrite]

"We'll have to let Seira know about this, too." Moore says.

Onwards!

Another d100, dread pixie.

As you go, you notice something. Sulfur yellow-green clouds are starting to form above, rather rapidly. The air is growing heavier, the skies darker.

[Nephrite]

Take 10 for 107 on whatever the appropriate Knowledge check is to identify how bad this probably is.

[Anastasia]

Really bad. Fire plus acid 'rain' plus steam plus a huge storm and thunder and yeah, not a good time be within about 20 miles or so.

It's a hurricane level storm caused by Water's constant intrusions into this region of Fire. The liquid that comprises the rain is pure poisonous acid, which kicks up the steam and laces it with poison, fire erupts everywhere, volcanic activity kicks up and lightning rains freely.

"We need to get out of here, now. In fact, we need to get out of here so much that we'll just chance wherever we end up." Moore says.

He's using his helm of teleportation to just go 40 miles... I dunno, let's say east.

Of course, everyone else should be coming along for this.

"Is it that bad?" Kaja asks.

To this Xandra peers up. "Worse." is all she says.

Moments later you are elsewhere - and on the horizon you see the stormclouds, far away from them but distantly visible on the horizon.

[Nephrite]

Moore lets out a huff as he watches the storm and turns to look down below to see if anything happens to jump out at him as being noteworthy.

"So try to imagine fire and acid colliding along with wind and lightning." Moore explains. "I guess it's common thing that happens here... no wonder it's so dangerous."

[Anastasia]

"That storm's a helpful clue," Jetina muses, "And also shows how desperate those efreet were." A pause as she looks up at the sky. "No building short of a great enchantment would survive in a region with storms like that. I think that narrows it down to being buried somewhere in all this."

"Which means we need to find some way of narrowing our search, or spend centuries hoping to get lucky," Kaja growls.

[Nephrite]

Moore nods. "Perhaps there's somewhere where the storm tends to not strike? I think you're right about it being below, perhaps in a cave or something... I don't know of much way we can narrow the search based on what we know right now, but perhaps as we spend more time here we'll see other things that will help us with that. Let's see if there's anywhere we can find where the steam is less problematic?" He ventures.

[Anastasia]

"Any residents would be useful, too," Kaja agrees, looking down at the steamy mess below. "This wheel had better be worth it if this is just one part of it."

[Nephrite]

Moore nods. "Let's just keep looking around for now. I wonder if there are any residents besides elementals..."

[Anastasia]

Give me a new Perception check, would you?

[Nephrite]

Take 10 for 92! :)
