You now have the Pendant of Yesterday's Blurred Sight. It gives +1 on Fright Checks and weighs thirty pounds.

"The choice is yours," he says.

He crosses his arms behind his back. "I will send you instructions from time to time. Your first task is to free the captured servants of Life. This should be easy for one of your skills."

Scurra jumped around a little and wondered why the lights weren't picking up.

The trumpets in the background change to a slow drone. You hear a female voice say: "All of our operators are busy. Your life is important to us. Please continue to hold. Your life will be restored in the order it was received." Then the voice loops back around.

Erion takes the pendant. "Thank you."

Erion steps into the portal.

She grinned in appreciation of the type-o based anachronistic pun, than rebounded off the fourth wall in order to dodge a 200 foot long baby demon tail.

The world around you seems to bend and you fall through it. You sees many different worlds pass as you zip by.

The sky changes to a deep orange and your descent slows. You land on your back and take a deep breath. You are again one with your body. You feel something soft pressing onto you. It's a body.

"Thank you for waiting," a female voice says in an accent you have trouble understanding. "This is Vanessa." She can hardly pronounce her name. "For quality assurance purposes, we record all calls," she says mindlessly. You hear a clicking. "I see that you are returning to your mortal body. Would you like to purchase our guaranteed landing warranty?" More clicking. "Oh, I see that you've been approved for a free upgrade to first class. Enjoy your flight."

The white light surrounds you and the trumpets crescendo. The becomes incredibly bright. So much so that you have to close your eyes, then cover them with your arm. And still you feel as though their being seared from their sockets.

When the light fades, you feel something moving underneath you.

Erion tries to shove the body off of him while looking around at his surroundings.

He spreads his arms in a bewildering manner and shrugs.
The heavenly voice waits a few moments, then speaks again. "There seems to have been an error somewhere. You did not actually die! That arrow was nowhere near you. Even better, we're going to be able to correct this error by returning you to your body, which will be restored to its living condition. Unfortunately..." There is a looong pause. "We haven't been able to get you cleared on your spatial location. Once you're in Hell, it's not so easy to bring you back. We are aware of this issue and are working on it. Senator Zahrip has just proposed a bill be taken up in the next--well, it's complicated, but we are working on it! In the meantime, you are being given this special opportunity to partake in a reconnaissance mission into the deepest pits of Hell. Your parents have already agreed to act as liaisons between you and higher members of the faith. They will remain in constant contact with you through your journey into Hell, and they will pass along word to you on the progress we make in returning you to the living world."

The body begins squirming. As you try to push it away, you get white paint smeared on your hands.


Scurra feels something underneath her grabbing at her. She feels the sun on her body and realizes she is naked. Then she looks up and realizes there is no sun at all. It's just hot everywhere.
