After beating skeleton, got a warning from my wristwatch about excessive abyssal energy
the ambient magic has gotten much higher; who knows what that means
Found another room with a powerful magic seal; balthazar disabled it; door led to a library
There was a display case inside; tried to catapult it, got attacked by books instead
Rapp fought a bed; lost?
Vic fucking died by lightning bolt; I fucking died by magic missile
We both made it out ok; bookcase was holding a tome of knowledge with 3 questions left
Retrieved the spear and gave it back to the sphinx; Vic has developed a strange interest in my bag of holding
Got TP'd back to our reality; Divon got caught for some fucking reason; need to bail him out
Turns out we were gone for ONLY AN HOUR
Vic rifled through my bag and stole the crown + book
will figure out repercussions later
Returned to the sphinx's lair and went down the staircase to a large domed room containing a ornate stone building
Flanked by a metric shit-ton of statues; easily a couple thousand
central building carved with reliefs of battle; one section features curved horn humanoids similar to ones found on Bellum
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Went deeper into the structure and found Jericho just chilling on a throne
Went to Bellum and wiped out another race because they tried to invade ours; gives me sus vibes
Jericho revealed that Monomon is a shard of the god Colene
Bombshell- turns out when the gods last left the world, Hugon (god of humans) and Goba (god o' goblins) avatar's went on PTO
Hugon decided to build an empire and Goba apparently fucked off
So I guess we're heralds of a new age now , as well as fatebound, nobodies, war heroes, convicted criminals, marked as a whole... yeah
Learned the sphinx's name is Zarek and he's also Jericho's butler
Question: how does Hugon tie into the Giff?
Gods aren't limited by shape; take preferred forms; Hugon may be patronizing the Giff in order to unite the continent in the Giff empire
Question: how do we kill a god?
It is possible to kill an avatar and trap a god in the upper planes
So Jericho just pulled his entire sanctum from below ground into the air and reawakened all his warforged soldiers
2 options before us:
Fixing magical entropy by repairing the generators regulating magic around the world
Awakening the avatars of other gods to stop Hugon's advancement and help Jericho
