	Inside we can see a 750' long room, maybe 80' high. In the middle is a cage with Death & His Love in a frozen bubble of time, sharing a kiss. From insects outside the cage we can tell that this bubble extends outside the cage. At the far end is a 60' tall giant (Titan, Gargantuan? Giant seems too small a word) armed with a 30' club, and the hag. Zanak gets a message from L'Roy telling us about a secret staircase, and suggests we come free him as he can take the plane over without it ending, while the hag wants the plane to end then she will take over. We decide to go for the staircase, leaving a few decoys in our wake, and use willpower to block the staircase behind us, proceeding up. At the top of the dimension trapped staircase is a warded door that will send people who touch it to the 666 plane of hell. We briefly debate using it to escape, then manage to empathy the bound spirits in the walls around it and communicate with them for the password. Between three options we get it right the first time avoiding an Eyreines spawning on us, and enter the room beyond.<br>		Inside we can see a 750' long room, maybe 80' high.

	What appears to be a unique Cerberus type creature in the room beyond is chained to the floor, the chain having 4 distinct rune aura's (Forcing of a shape, Obedience, Sleep & Misdirection of magic), and a bubble trap that may be keyed to the hags death. However we can't trust these answers are correct. We try using the book to fake the Hags death so any magic keyed to her will end. This seems to remove the bubble, but we can't see L'Roy still, so take a guess he may actually be the beast but shape changed. There are also unknown effects in the other room probably with the Hags fake death. <br>		What appears to be a unique Cerberus type creature in the room beyond is chained to the floor, the chain having 4 distinct rune aura's (Forcing of a shape, Obedience, Sleep & Misdirection of magic), and a bubble trap that may be keyed to the hags death.

There are also unknown effects in the other room probably with the Hags fake death. <br>
			We shatter the chain, and the room then fades to mist, with the Dog turning into a Horror, so we engage the horror, taking spec grevs around those of us who attack it before we down it in less than a pulse. It's spirit lingers offering all of us massive bribes if we will help it become the new death, so while a few party members briefly ponder the incredibly lucrative offer, Zanak & Sooty dissipate the lingering spirit.<br>
			We then find ourselves in what appears at the time to be a repeating trap as we keep appearing in idealic situations, sometimes with L'Roy, sometimes without, with no way to be sure if we are seeing anything real, including L'Roy.<br>
			We try a few things to break loose from the trap, such as trying to not play the good & evil game that they seem to want us to play, going to the opposite of life instead of trying to find death, and finally deciding to try and shatter the idealistic moment that we seem to be caught in.<br>
			When we attempt the last we find ourselves expelled back to the Rune Portal in Seagate, and find out that L'Roy has become the new DEATH however the planes died with only powerful entities and their followers possibly escaping. Hindsight and a little explanation from L'Roy explain that Death was testing us to see if we trusted L'Roy, however he failed to take into account Adventurers reactions when you place them into environments where they can't know what is real & what isn't.<br>
			L'Roy appears with 6 steaming Goblets for the party, and people do various things with their individual Goblets. We then retire to the Guild for debrief, Divination and the split of what treasure we did manage to acquire along the way. As well as a licking of wounds after entertaining Death so much.<br>
