The party moves through the third landing.

Synopsis[]

The party reach the third Landing: a labyrinth. Uther breaks up a fight between red-skinned people and the Conguine, a hippy collective of various races, over fir trees growing in the soil of the maze.

Juniper and Fenn talk about how the maze was inspired by Juniper's interest in Factorio's ribbon worlds: spaces to live in that are as confined as possible. Juniper talks about how he likes to bend a system as far as it'll go, almost to breaking point, and then slightly over to watch it break. Juniper admits he would like the story of a man trapped by narrative, and this infuriates Uther.

As they reach the capital city of the Conguine, Uther decides to avoid any roadblocks by flying over them, and the party enter Sable to travel with him. They come across buildings made of stone, and tunnels carved through the maze using void tools, which they obtained when Uther brought void crystals and Leyden jars in his second trip through. The tunnels drastically speed up the pace through the maze.

Notes[]

  • The Void Beast destroys the world in the A Cypress Waits timeline partially due to the continued void use by the maze-dwellers, using the void crystals Uther brought.
