Her team's traipsing through the jungles of Chult, chasing down their latest lead for the Shield Guardian's amulet (since the more they can bring to bear against Acererak, the better). Liliane is paying close attention to the geography, to help with returning to where they left the rowboats, when a giant snake with a mirror for a face appears in front of her. Her hand goes to her flail, but before she can otherwise react, it's on her. She flinches, and is elsewhere.
"It looks relatively stable, at least? I wouldn't worry too much about being stranded, especially if it's just a quick hop to check if it is your place."
They go there.
The whole in the Webway is some distance from the planet. It takes them an hour or so to get close enough to pick out individual details-- anything more specific than 'yep, that looks like the sort of world humans and tieflings could live on'. Close enough to see the broad shape of the continents, then close enough to see the green of tilled fields in contrasts to the green of forests and plains.
But when they get close enough--
It's Liliane's world. Definitely.
Deep breath, and "That's it. Chult's underground, unfortunately. That big continent under us, near the middle-bottom's Midgrave, through the giant sinkhole next to it's the entrance to Chult - I can direct us better near it."
"I suppose it depends on if we want reinforcements, but I do think moving quickly might outweigh that. As for stopping in Midgrave... I do have at least one ally there - I'm hesitant to involve her in this, but when the fate of the world is considered..."
"You know the most about this. Allies would be helpful, but it depends on how much time is of the essence, you know?"
"Exactly. But I think I'd err on the side of another fighter - I don't know exactly which caliber she's reached since I last saw her, I myself have been advancing so quickly..."
It's a booming town, though still small, attracting increasing amounts of trade. It's situated in the middle of fairly flat plains, and sticks out rather dramatically. They aren't the only airship, but the others look more rustic, in a way, and smaller.
There's some minor curiosity about them, which Liliane diffuses some of when she disembarks, and pays the docking fee from her own funds.
An hour later, she's back with a woman who looks about her age in tow. The woman has darker skin that Liliane by a few degrees, and black eyes and straight black hair, and wears dark clothes that gather at the wrists and ankles, but allow plenty of freedom of movement. Her expression's stern, but she nods to the crew.
"This is Rune d'Aigle," Liliane says as they get aboard. "My daughter, and a monk. She's increased in power recently, similar to how I have."
"Nice to meet you," Rune says, nodding slightly.
"Nice to meet you. I'm Zerri. Always good to have another strong arm around to help."
"Well, at least try our best.
...She helped us a lot. Only right to return the favour."
"Seems like it. Not that that's a bad thing; the galaxy can always use more helpful people."
"Yup." And, off-handedly, "As much as I'm good saving the world and all, I must admit I'm just glad to get away from that mess..."
"Look, okay, so, I was sitting in a tavern, flirting, and three of my exes walked in, and that was the high point. ...Ridiculously long story short we kind of ended up stealing this huge fortune to stop someone else from stealing it, and returned it, but it miiiight be a good idea for me to be elsewhere getting famous for a bit."
Chult's fairly easy to get to - navigating through the giant hole into the immense and possibly physics-defying underground cavern is the trickiest part.
The island itself spreads out towards the horizon. They're on the northern end; Liliane consults a map and identifies the place she vanished from as roughly midway down, in the middle west, and the place they're probably going as more southerly.
