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.
"I think they'd probably be enough to launch him to godhood, if he stole enough, but a new evil god - it'd make a lot of people very miserable but wouldn't upset the balance. We have more creative and powerful evil gods."
"...I'm used to whole-ass deities being a bigger deal, but that's just where I'm from."
"We have thousands of people who would claim to be gods-- but there's 20-30-ish actual gods, depending on who you ask and how you count."
"Most major pantheons have ten or twelve, and there's dozens of major pantheons, and then a massive assortment of minor gods."
"...yeah that's more. And maybe one evil extra one won't do anything too bad, but it'd still be best to avoid that."
She taps her foot impatiently. "Here's hoping that Ras' comes to a decision quickly, so we don't sit around while Lichy has a chance to prepare."
She hums.
(They do, soon enough, receive a runner. Ras will not be joining them, but he will hand over his cube.)
"Sounds good, unless there's anything else you need to do beforehand."
...and here's hoping there's no attempted sibling-murder.
There's no murder but a lot of tenseness!
Still, Liliane determines they have all the cubes they need. "Let's move out," she says.
"Sounds good. The sooner we're on the correct plane, the better."
She goes over to talk quietly with Liliane. "Did things go okay on your end?"
"We ended up with more allies than we expected, so I'm counting that as a win."
And, between their entire fairly massive group, they can find both the tomb - which contains an obelisk with rather ominous warnings on the outside - and ferret out all the secret entrances in favor of the real one.
The puzzle door is rather simple - the puzzle cubes representing gods who are enemies go across from each other, with the neutral god in the middle.
It slides open, and their next adventure begins.
