As we search for the fortune of Monks of the Voiceless Order the team hits a snag in the direct passage through the caves which allows us time to discuss each person's dexterity. There's also an ostentatious Ossuary and maybe they find a fortune?

Glim doesn't want Sully to Die. Garira thinks with a Goblin's stomach. Yever grows before your eyes. Sully is a pathetic baby man. Moot goes doesn't get a present.

On their guided tour of Gross Town, Abyss... the team talks about their plans on how to get in front of Orcus. Some plans are desperate which is a good thing some of our adventurers are clear-er of mind.

Thia is willing to sacrifice Grancis. Vorunax reestablishes plan talks. Lipsinki has better plans for traversing watery expanses. Grancis forces a moment of clarity.

Team Abyss has made it to Orcus's home and they are met by a River Styx welcome committee... of one. It doesn't take long for the entire welcome wagon to come rolling through town as they are prone to smell fresh meat.

Nighthunter charges a bull... bison? Something gross. Sounds like Flint's Saturday. Lipsinki has a thought. Vorunax has the lay of the land. Grancis is allowed to monologue.

Having been dive-bombed by devil birds, Team Abyss finds some of their members in a bit of a predicament in the Plane of a Thousand Portals, Pazunia. It's up to the entire team to break them out so they can all make it, as unharmed as possible, to the Abyss.

Nighthunter is only somewhat concerned about breaking bones. Grancis is a reliable interpreter. Vorunax rushes in! Thia likes to get up close and personal. Lipsinki goes ham-ster.

Gathered around the fire, our adventurers reminisce of simpler times before their new bestie, Tiamat, bestows them with other worldly gifts and powers that COULD help them in their fight against Orcus.

Sully meets the prerequisites. Glim wrote an essay once. Agathe has been known to flail. Moot scores a sweet kitchen utensil. Flamikins just scores.

Bahamut must've had a plan, right? Because our adventurers are completely unprepared as they find themselves face to face with the Queen of the Chromatic Dragons. Destinies Children unpack a lot of things that they didn't expect

Sully has some explaining to do. Flamikins reevaluates her goals. Glim feels a little awkward about her position. Moot tries to be truthful. Agathe blames everything on gravity.
