Updated my journal.
=== 2016-01-13 - title ===
After Hikari joins them at the bakery for breakfast, the group then goes to Joran's office to collect the portal device and get started on the quest to return them to their home.
When they get to his office, they find that Larissa is already there, with an offer for Jaxson. If he can ensure that their clerics are allowed to wander his realm, the Church of Celestian will offer divination services that may assist in stabilizing the portal to Datha. Jaxson states honestly that he has no authority to make promises, but doesn't think it would be a problem.
The group then follows Larissa, with the portal device, to a portal in the Lady's Ward. Using the key of the feeling of wonderment about something greater than yourself, they enter the portal to the Wandering Temple of Celestian. They walk in this partially outdoor temple of perpetual night to a special building where Priestess Nahira awaits them.
She answers three questions for them using Divination:
# Jaxson asks broadly about finding the way home: Nahira tells him of a dark book imbued with evil, in the City of Doors under the stones that run with poverty.
# Grodd asks how he can find his family again: He is already on a path to return to his homeland, he could find them west of the empty vault of silver, being swept about the land as the wind itself sweeps the land.
# Marby asks how they can acquire the book mentioned in answer to Jaxson's question: With blood and crushed bone they will find the book.
Afterwards they wait out the portal device's scan of the plane and return to Sigil.
They go to the Hive (where the stones run with poverty) the next day and go to a bar called "The Ugly Maid" to see if there is any news that will help them find the book's location. Through various means they uncover that there has been a construction project (or deconstruction) and that there is an elf making an awful lot of noise about what might be going on inside of it.
They find the elf and the construction materials where the rumors said they would, and the elf tells Jaxson that it is actually the entrance to a crypt where his wife, dead for 300 years, lies interred. He warns that there are skeletons of the interred dead wandering the crypt now.
They gather their party to venture forth.
