Tully says, "Me? Nothing although I guess you can help guide us out of this place. Thor wants you back working for him, I think, instead of suffering here. Anyway, you can talk that over with him once we get out of here. So, where is the nearest portal?"

"The nearest what?"

"So, how do we get out of here?"

"Huh?"

"Portal or way to get out of here..." Tully says expectantly.

Watney laughs.

"This is the Abyss, you fool! Didn't you bring a way out of here yourself? Spells or anything?"

Tully says, "Well, I have a space ship, but I am not sure it can fly us out of here. I wonder if we can contact Occa somehow...Vardui, can you?"

"Not me," says the elf.

"This is great," says Watney. "Well, I hear they're hiring over at Wally World. Maybe we should go over and apply."

Tully says, "Bugger that for a bunch of bananas. We are adventurers and that is what we will do. Time to explore the abyss. Do you happen to know what layer we are on?"

"I think it's the 912th."

Zanax scratches his head. "Hmmm...I might be able to contact Occa...or at least Kadlian. Do you still want to stay here and explore, or do you want to get out of here?"

"Why don't you see if you can contact them and then let's explore some."

Zanax concentrates.

Zanax shrugs, "No response, but I know I've contacted Kadlian before from other planes."

"Exploring and adventuring, eh?" says Watney. "I haven't done that for an eternity. Does anyone have some spare armour? Maybe a hammer?"

"Awright, what's goin' on here?" comes a voice from behind you. Turning, you see two pig-faced demons in black uniforms sidling towards you. They are eating donuts, and the badges on their chests read 'Rent-A-Cop'. "Can't you read the signs? No loitering! Move on!"


Next day...
