They rested while waiting for Akraia to come visit. With the box and a soul grabber, she merged it together and the box didn't work, but they were able to figure out the box only worked if it was used by a person who's Soul had been put inside the Soul Grabber merged with the box. Akraia was very happy to discover it although she felt a bit stupid for never realising her box had stopped working when she placed her soul inside the soul grabber she placed on her cannon.
From there, they were able to reproduce a few more Soul Grabbers, but they also began to try different combinations of the many buttons that were available from that merged box.
By chance, Thorgred had managed to replicate a Shavarkh Fin, but was not able to reproduce it.
Snaker was lucky enough to replicate a Far Caress and was able to figure out how to replicate it indefinitely.
Of course, they didn't replicate too many things, assuming the box probably had a limited number of relic it could create, like all others.
They continued to hunt for the food they all needed and did so for another 10 days or so.
Nanouk also ate the Bosom meat to become resistant to magic, enough to actually become immune to it and also reflect it back to the caster. He thought it would help him cross the bridge Akrai had mentioned she was never able to cross.
They decided to go try to find out what was the secret at the end of that mysterious tunnel, which seamed to lead to another dimension.
Snaker was able to avoid most traps on the way so they didn't really know what those traps were, but one of those traps was poisoned darts shooting from all over the tunnel on about 60 feet of length. No one was significantly injured.
They crossed a large cave that required them to jump from one pillar to another while powerful wind draft would try and push them upwards, causing the curse to kick in, but with Nanouk and Thorgred's tentacles, and with the Creepzan Umbrella, they were able to cross without much harm.
Then they reached the famous bridge Akraia had told them about. Nanouk braved it alone, managing to dodge just about every blasts that came at him, and he did quite well, avoiding all but one of the 20 or so blasts. That single hit, almost killed him so he was very happy to reach the end without getting hit a second time.
The others waited for him to explore a little further, not ready to brave those blasts.
Nanouk entered a place where all his relics changed color and shape slightly, and all stopped working.
He saw a creature that was also in the soul world, while his friends weren't there anymore.
So he met Khanvee.
Turns out she was in a prison for the past 16,000 years or so. She said she was imprisoned for creating new races in this world after they fought off all the Demons that used to live in that world.
She said she used too much resources to create those things, which was some kind of a crime.
They asked if she could help them against the demons outside, since she had fought them in the past and she said she could, but they had to free her first. ALl that was required, was for one of them, she calls them Original Souls, to let her 'Possess' them and enter their body, so she could walk out physically.
Once on the other side, she's uncertain of what powers she would have and she can't promise anything, but she said she would try to find the entity of Abaxy and if she was able to reach it, she could control it and seemed confident, that from that point, she could definitely help them against the Demons.
They decided to leave a Soul Grabber on that side of the bridge, so they could return later to free her. They wanted to talk to Kromm before they'd go back to free her depending on what Kromm had to say about Abaxy and her, if he knew her.
So they teleported to the soul grabber Akraia had left near the Kromm Fortree and they walked to it.
A Balor Demon opened the door after they knocked on what seemed to be a door in the fortress wall.
They asked to see Kromm. The Balor noded and walked away. They followed him and walked for about an hour until he asked them to sit on the chairs in a room. Another hour later, Kromm showed up.
They talked with him and asked their questions carefully to avoid revealing too much.
They realized Kromm didn't know anything about Khanvee and he still hadn't find a way to safely come back from the 6th layer.
Snaker gave him a Soul grabber and showed him how to put his image in it. Then he said he wanted to go to the 6th layer and that he would tell him more about how the Soul Grabber works, if he could make it back by using it.
Kromm said the next time he could send someone was in 224 days, so they could stay here and wait, or they could go to a higher level and wait if they preferred. 224 days would mean 7 days in Ghateelock, 14 in Kounaxy, etc.
In all cases, 7 days would pass in Ghateelock, which would possibly bring the Demon army to the brink of breaking into Ghateelock.
