How to Save a Life
With time and options running, the Guardians seek to bring Diego back to chase down any more leads from Duvall’s Journal. The first step was to speak with Vaughn and learn more about the Cabal ascension, like-minded individuals whose purpose is to “survive the cycle” or the Wyrms Eternal and ascend. Vaughn reveals a limited knowledge of the ascension because Altisha is much older than him, and this “cycle” is not entirely familiar to him. Regarding reaching the Divine Gate, Vaughn presents the only available options of astral projection and plane shifting, both with their complications. Powerful Astral Dreadnaughts can sever the projection tethers and kill the Guardians. Physically going to the Astral Sea would require a vessel and a means to survive the environment. With that said, the Guardians are gifted with a tuning fork through Blood’s window, and they set off to speak with Nathee about a possible vessel.
Nathee informs the Guardians of a tinkerer named Corstock, who may have the means to rebuild a dominion ship to traverse the Astral Sea. Adventurers currently use another active ship, but seeking them out would be extremely challenging. The Guardians also contacted Mira about possibly meeting to help, but she is currently researching the Faewild and cannot meet; she informs the group that the cube she possessed was lost when killed and may still be in the Woodberry rubble from the Master’s old tower. Question after question leads the Guardians down to a difficult choice. The path to Diego will not be conventional, so Wulf chooses to summon the Withered One.
The Withered One appears with answers but not without a cost for each question (FP per level per question).
