Bruce looks at the Githzeria in mild confusion. "Uh... Rishad? You do realize the poeple go between the Planes all the time, right? It's called the astral."
"Anyway, a Spelljammer is similar to a naval vessal, but is contained in a pocket of air and has the ability to fly through the air, and through space."

"What is this "space" you speak of? Like the space in a bag of holding? Or like the space between my hands?" she holds her hands up parallel to each other.

"Or, space like this" The tiefling squishes her hands to her cheeks, making a fishy-kiss face. "Or like this?" She pulls down the corners of her plump-lipped mouth, showing all her slightly pointed teeth.

Looking outside the ship reveals only void.

'Oh, I only travel between a few of the planes, mostly urban ones. Right now I'm on my way to Kazzex, have you heard of it? It's called the Spinning City by some. No more to this ship than what you see, it doesn't require much to function.' He nods to Rishhad. 'You lot must be from far out. I'm a moshril. Name's Kulat.'

black? or silvery like the astral?

"kazzex? don't remember being there bofore, should be interesting. does it take a long time to travel between planes with this... 'ship'? the only method i know of traveling from one plane to another does not include staying 'in between' for more than a few seconds"

To Bruce"I know about the astral but even that is still a plane.This thing is actauley outside the planes we know that is the truly spectacular part."Rishhad looks about the platform."Kulat,this spinning city of yours tell me is it an entire plane or just a location on it?"

"I don't think that matters, Rishad." Bruce says. " I doubt we'll be around long enough to see it."

"...or like this?" The tiefling pulls up her nose and sticks out her pointed tounge. "Or like thiiiiiiiiiiiiiis?" She pulls on her fan-like ears, crosses her eyes and puffs out her cheeks.

Summitfinder decides that this is apparently some sort of competition, and starts pulling faces back at the tiefling, or anyone else who cares to watch. Not terribly well, because he hasn't as much practice, nor does he have slightly pointed teeth, etc. And, of coure, the rocky patches on his skin to tend to make parts of it somewhat inflexible. Still, he's trying.

"Space is..." he pauses. "Its a black, airless void that surrounds most prime worlds. Without protection, you freeze to death in moments, or suffocate. This void is contained within a crystal sphere, which protects it from a toxic, flammable gas that fills another void, the area between the spheres known as Wildspace."

The void is black, like space. It's more the absence of anything than any particular thing.

'Oh, yes, Kazzex is an entire plane,' Kulat says. 'We should get there in about fifteen more minutes, we're almost there.'

"Has anyone here, excluding our furry tiger-man, heard of a plane called Kazzex?" asks Charlotte.

Summitfinder stops pulling faces to answer Charlotte. "No, though it sounds a little like a type of goat where I come from, if that helps." If the tiefling hs also stopped pulling faces then Summitfinder also doesn't pull any more. If she's still going, then he'll promptly resume pulling faces. He's not going to be beaten by a mere slip of a girl.

groupity seem much more senseable now, and it seems that summit is taking her place as a loony "never heard of kazzex, but then again i have not heard of many planes"

Bruce looks at Rishad like he grew an extra head.
"I just told you. Wildspace is the gas-filled area between the crystal spheres. And someone with the name Rishhad shouldn't mention the odditiy of the names of others. Especially when we are univited guests on his vessel."

"I was not making fun of the the name Bruce."Rashhad snaps back.
"besides kazzex and our host's name do not sound like any language I've heard that was all I was saying."

The tiefling girl has stopped pulling faces, but she's now doing her best to explore the entire ship, knocking on doors, or just trying to open them without the courtesy.

Summitfinder pulls one last face, then stops. He's not telling onyone, but he's scored it as a draw. he's looking around the place, but he seems to have gathered that the current concensus is 'wait and see', so he's waiting to see if something interesting happens.

"Great!" Charlotte says sarcastically with a great "hmmp!" at the end just to make a point, "No one here besides tiger-man has heard of Kazzex. I guess we will just go along for the ride then and hope that we can breathe the "air" on Kazzex at the end of all of this...and wait, Tiger-man, how do you know our language?... there's some hope in that." she says the last overley excitedly.

"Ah, chaos overtaken I see. And now we have logic in its place. I belive Kulat can answer those questions, but I would't worry about it."

Charlotte's sister doesn't find any doors on the ship. It is, apparently, a big open stone platform.

'Well, you're speaking the common interplanar language. It must mean you're not from too far away,' Kulat said. 'Oh, look, we're almost there.'

Ahead in the distance, a faint motion can be seen, as though the blackness of the void were twisting and rotating around some point.

Rishhad looks at the obegect in the distance."It looks like the torus!"He looks at the tiger man."What do you mean that it's inter planar you must have been near our cosmology before then?"

Bruce turns toward the distant object. "I highly doubt that is Sigil up ahead, Rishhad. And the common language means nothing. You wouldn't believe how many prime worlds speka the same language, but never had a common cultural contact."
"I guess we shall just wait and see."

We should keep an eye on him at all times. Crazy people I can understand, and plan for to a degree. But I dont like the look of this one.

He's a member of a faction with a reputation for executing anyone who doesn't agree with their sense of justice. And he happens to be prone to nervous breakdowns at the drop of a hat. Whats to to like.

Exactly.

I say we just push him off the platform before he hurts someone. Its for the best.

Why am I not surprised?

Because I solve my problems with violence. Give him a few more hours, you'll wish you had.

"I know it can't be sigil but mabye it's an analog."Rishhad replies still staring at the distant shape."If it is an analog then mabye it can send us back."He whispers to himself.

The tiefling crosses her arms and gives a loud "HMPH." at the complete lack on interesting things on the ship. She flops down crosslegged and pulls out her rat again. "Buffle, shuffles, what are we to do?"

So... when you going to let me run this body?

Soon.

Come on! You promised.

And I will. But things are a little hectic right now and you have a habit of making things more complicated. Not less.

You say complicated, I say fun.

As the ship gets closer, the swirling blackness becomes more distinct against the void behind it. There's a faint breeze, and the ship passes through. Abruptly, you all find yourselves in the air above a great city. The entire city seems to be made of metal, and pieces of it are in constant motion, clanking and grinding being a common noise from the city. Overally, the city seems to be slowly rotating clockwise.

'Landings here are always a little difficult,' Kulat said. 'You might want to hold onto one of the poles.'

Bruce looks over the edge at the slowly spinning metal city below. "Huh. Kinda reminds me of Mechanus." He says.

He looked down at the city. "It looks like Sigil! This is starting to scare me..." He turns to Bruce. "Told you so!" He rushes to grab one of the poles.

Bruce looks down at the city, then at Rishhad, then at the city again.

What the hells is he talking about?

Well, he thinks this is some sort of Sigil replica that...

It was a rhetorical question.

Are you sure?

Yes. I said it becuase thats nothing like Sigil.

Well, I think he's crazier then the chaos chicks. But in a bad way. Hurry! Push him off the platform before we get too close to the ground. You'll wish you did.

We cant just kill people without good reason.

Why not? It's never stopped us before. The only differance between a band of heros and a group of mass murderers is the word 'quest.'

*Sirrus, convienatnly located next to one of the poles when the tiger Gaurdinial? states his warning, clasps one arm around the veritcal bar and stares intently at the landing strip.*

"Kulat, have you ever heard of a place called Elysium?"

'It doesn't sound particularly familiar.' Kulat sounds a little distracted, as the ship slowly lines up with a part of the city that seems designed for such ships to land on. 'But like I said, I only visit a few planes. If Elysium is one of the farther-out ones, I could easily never know it existed.'

Before the 'ship' passes through the portal, Rik takes care to untie the rope and place it back in his pack.

The 'ship' has passed into Kazzex.

Rik is still sitting in the middle of the platform looking through his book. Rik takes a deep breath and addresses Charlotte in a calm voice without taking his eyes off his book "You see? I told you there was nothing to worry about. And I am pretty sure most of the population here can understand Common too"

Hearing Bruce, Rishhad and Sirrus claiming this place looks like different planes Rik stands up and walks to the edge of the platform, taking care to hold tight one of the poles. Rik looks down with interest at the metal city and then says in a merry voice "To each his own I say." Rik has never been to Mechanus or Sigil but he has once been to Elysium and can't see any resemblance between it and Kazzex.

"Kulat what other planes do you visit I mean besides this void."Rishhad let's go of the pole and stands up."Bruce,I think this place is cross of our planes look at it it's like sigil and mechanus.I wonder if it has any strange properties like them."

OOC: Hey bob, is Kazzex even remotly torus shaped? I went back and checked, and all I found is that space was twisting around it, and that it was as if the city was built on gears. I just want to know if there is any base for Rishhads delusions.

OOC: I'm pretty sure that Bob created Kazzex. I just want to make sure that It isnt Sigil shaped before I, In character, break Rishhad's fragile, fragile mind. After all, I should be able to tell if its a toras by looking at it, and Bruce can see it.

Summitfinder grabs a nearby pole, though he's used to untrusty footing and not too bothered. He's listening to the discussion going on without really following any of it. He does thin, however, that the metallic city looks.... unfriendly. But then he's a ranger, and there seems little natural about what's in front of him.

OOC: BERK, be careful with Rishad's fragile, fragile mind. We might need it again later.... Smiling

The tiefling doesn't grab a pole, but she does flop down on the floor of the "ship" on her back, spreading her arms and legs as far as they'll go. It seems like she's hanging on...in a strange strange way.

As she walks past the gawking Bruce she taps him on the arss and EVERYONE else that she passes on the way to her sister.

Charlotte looks over at the look her sister is getting and quickly whipsers in her ear "I think that one like seeing your legs spread. Why don't you go and tell him what you think of that? Hmmm?" she says in a disapproving mothering tone.
