Just outside of Plorpa we encounter a friendly traveler who seems very happy to have encountered other travelers on his journey. Jeremiah was creeping on him a little and it appears to have made him uncomfortable with probing questions. I offer him some supply's which he politely refuses before going on his way. Jeremiah is adamant that he was one of the concepts, Chaos aka The Traveler.
We arrive at Plorpa and are greeted by a massive ravine where the city is supposed to be, its so deep we cant see the bottom of it and a pushed rock and a torch make never seem to hit the bottom when thrown in. We see the temple of Death sitting atop the canyon that runs alongside the ravine.
The journey up was arduous but shorter than we were expecting, at the summit we are greeted by a priest and welcomed to the temple as pilgrims. We explain to him the purpose of our journey and he takes us to the great clock which can tell the amount of time a person has left, and the people that disappeared when Plorpa fell into the ravine must still be alive because their time is still counting down. In exchange for assistance with the descent we agree to tell them what we find down there, if we make it back.
We rest for the night and prepare to head down in the morning. The trip down only seemed to take us about an hour, it seems like time works differently here. After discussing our plan for the decent we start making our way down into the ravine. The journey is slow but we were making good pace.. until a shadow crossed above us severing our lines and sending us hurtling into the pit.
We are being attacked by a Wyvern looking for a meal. Kadien grew to prestigious size and managed to halt our descent and allowed us to defeat the Wyvern. Our decent continued for what felt like days until we woke up in an unfamiliar place crafted from starlight. Jeremiah informs us that this looks like Plorpa and we head towards it to investigate, all around us is an infinite expanse of starlight with Plorpa being the only visible thing around. In the city we find its still populated but like the city they to have been turned to starlight, we try to communicate but they pass straight through us. I try carving a message into what would be a door but the tip of my dagger begins to be infected with the starlight slowly creeping across its surface. We start trying magic and manage to make some headway and soon make contact and we are directed to the library to find out what happened here. There we find out about a device that should be able to take us back but its guarded by a guardian to prevent any of the star-cursed from leaving and potentially destroying the world. We make a copy of the book and head to where we suspect the device is. We find a giant mirror on a dais which seems to reflect the courtyard of the temple of death. We are engaged by the guardian which seeks to prevent our exit and after managing to distract it we make our way through the mirror and fall into the courtyard.
We fill in the priests on what we found and humbly requested that we could stay here a while to rest and recuperate before our journey home, the monks gladly accept.
