Nia is sold on the idea of getting past these folks and trying to get out. She will voice the goal of taking what we've found and getting out of sight. Nia will cross the chasm (so that she is on the same side as the entrance we came into) and set a grapnel hook on the extreme far edge of the chasm. She will do her best to conceal the grapnel and tie a loop in the rope about 20 feet down. Her plan is to descend into the dark of the chasm and lurk there while the interlopers make their way across. "If this is to work as intended, we will need someone - who can use Far Step - to attract their attention and lure them across the chasm. Once they are well across, those luring House Magissa can use Far Step to bypass them, get across the chasm." Assuming that works, Nia will link up with them and we can make our escape. If House Magissa leaves people on the entrance side of the chasm, this could get interesting, but Nia's hope is that if there is a lone sentry, she will be able to erase their memories and get past them.

If we can't sneak past them, then Dax would like to go down - they will most likely go across the chasm and look for us there and that might be our best chance to sneak past them if the chasm has no other things to explore.
There are two unexplored areas that you could check out, the chasm and continuing on past where you discovered the automata and the eggs, though the latter path seemed like it was turning back on itself, and the nature of the door frames and archways suggested that what you'd probably lead to was another open chamber for the cathedral, rather than a distinct (or obviously good place to hide) area. The chasm is probably what to try if you're thinking of any form of hiding or letting them pass you and then ambushing them or escaping.
Gegren's idea regarding the library and trying to trick them into spending some time in there is definitely plausible as well.
Just bumping this as a reminder. -- bss (Brian S. Stephan) | https://bss.zone/ | GPG: 0x80895FCB _______________________________________________ Emerald Flame mailing list -- emerald-flame@lists.incorporeal.org To unsubscribe send an email to emerald-flame-leave@lists.incorporeal.org
