Sigil: The City of Doors

Akh wasn't particularly scared of diseases, a perk of being dead, and Dead Pact would protect her against those on an approach or a climb, she assumed, but what about those with her?

[Question about Inspiration to extend Dead Pact to companions.]

The main thing you discover is it not only cold, but incredibly windy there to. There is a establishment still in this abandoned plane aptly titled The Fortress of Indifference, also known as Taclac Mirrimba. The tower's made of a black iron gridwork, with humans, demihumans, and other creatures woven into the metal itself. Diligent care has is made to keep some of the victims alive, but most are dead. Disease & flies are rampant in this Fortress due to the effects.

Akh was amused be the simplicity of the key, which seemed easy to acquire. So this at least paved the wave for the expedition to go through. Now, she needed to refocus on spellbooks, especially the ones that would let her memorise the incantations for mental and physical fortitude so that she could be more reliable in meeting the mounting challenges.

Once over the hurdle she started seeking something on powerful magical books doing what they wanted, or some details on the Layer of Indifference, whatever was more readily available.

Sure enough, this was the right shelf and the key itself, a glass bottle, is easily discovered for the portal.

All this time she had it in her, it just needed a push... to the right shelf.

They happily point you in the right direction so you can find the correct notes. ((Roll History again with advantage))

This was an acceptable fee. Akh wasn't too prideful to ask for a fellow scholar's help if she was failing. She explained what portal key details she was looking for.

It's not hard to find someone around to help you with it. And asking just for a small pittance of 20 gold, they will gladly point you in the direction of the portals and their keys.

Well, so the real question was whether their help would be within Akh's budget. She was determined to get this through though, so she started asking.

Fortunately, there were plenty of people around who you could ask for this precise information. Unfortunately, they're likely going to be Fated and it won't be free.
