  • Hollywood has no soul

    Recap

    The Red Pill Incells are summoned from the Shadowfell to a circle lead by Alustriel Silverhand, Mordenkainen, and Tasha. They are attempting to thwart Vecna whose cult is collecting secrets from around the multiverse. The surmise that our responding to their spell indicates we may be the answer they need. They send us to the Web Edge–the demon domain of Lloth. A suicide mission, of course–which places our souls at risk. Of course, we are from Hollywood, we do not have souls!

    Summary

    Time has passed since the characters’ experience in Neverdeath Graveyard. That ordeal might seem firmly in the past, but the characters receiving Vecna’s Link is the harbinger of events none could predict. In this chapter, the characters become involved in three powerful wizards’ desperate bid to stop the remaking of existence at the hands of the lich-god Vecna. The characters are soon led to believe that retrieving and reconstructing a legendary artifact is the only way to avoid a bleak future for the entire multiverse.
