"We won't be using your ordinary planeshifting to get there." says Gasshoji with a grin "I am going to give two of you a ride at Red Death, formarly the best Astral Ship in Githyanki military. Of course, if you are not scared."

Looking forward to meeting a Githyanki, never meet one before. Temir looked back at the two women one looked calm and the other wore a black cloak the covered her head and hide most of her face.

"In some way, you have already met one" says Gasshoji "For I am partially Githyanki by heritage. Now look upward, for this is the sight few saw and lived long enough to tell the tale."
As Temir and his companions looked upward, thay saw gigantic blood red silhouette bove them. From bellow it, it was impossible to say what it was exactly. Then a beam of light shot from the silhouette, engulfing Gasshoji, Temir and two women before either of them could reacted. Temir and two women felt, as if they were pulled somewhere...

...In the next moment, Temir and two women found themselves in the round room, with something like crystaline windows all over. There were a dozen humanoid figures besides them and Gasshoji in the room - two standing near to doorway, and another ten siting in the chairs either in front of windows, or in front of strange looking devices. All the humanoids were about six feet tall, and had pale-grayish complexion. The two, who were standing, most likely the guards, were dressed in well-made breastplates and long black cloaks. Each of them had a hilt of something resembling greatsword behind his back. The others were dressed in simple brown lethers, and carried only daggers with them.

"Commence ascend!" ordered Gasshoji meanwhile "Now, commence shift!"

Temir and his companions saw, as the skyshape behind the windows instantly became a black void. There seemed to be no light in there, yet some kind of sixth sense told Temir, that he was acutally seeing 'something', not just blackness.

"Destination - The World of Oerth, in The Prime Material Plane" ordered Gasshoji meanwhile "Precise location - Rendezvous Point number one-tree-four, in Lortmil Mountains. Proceed to destination."

Temir watch the ship's operation with a light smile on his face. he turned to Gasshoji.You have a fine ship here. Temir turned to the two women. What we planned is someone to join this merry band of hero's. The problem is how will a evil person be able to join a bunch of bumbling hero's. Appeal to there sense of good.. Walking up to the woman in the black cloak.Remember you are Selinah. They do not know of her memory lost. when we tell you, attack this group to get their attention. Then find the insect and tell him of the memory lost and you thought they were someone else. Do that and you will be rewarded richly. We will handle the rest. Temir walked over to the other woman. When it is time, use this jeweled necklace to contact me. Hold the diamond and ruby at the same time. It will apprear to be a necklace of protection to hide it's true use.

Gasshoji looked at Temir and said "Though you know nothing about Red Death and its power, I appreciate you compliment. If you will live long enough, you will understand how things are being done within Demonic Wizard's ranks, and then you will probably grow as bold and confident, as you are powerful. However, I'd suggest you never to become stupid enough to cross Red Death Company's path. Even though you have seen nothing of our power, I consider you smart enough to realize that we are powerful indeed."

"Our trip may seem to be a long one for you." continued Gasshoji after a few minutes of pause "It happens to those not accustomed to Astral Travels. Yet, don't worry about that, as such thing as time has absolutely no meaning in the Astral Plane, and thus, our trip will last for less then a second. Of course, the time we spend in Toril will still matter, and you must know, that time runs different in the different worlds and plans, that's why we have absolutely no control over when we will appear in Oerth. On the other hand, your small army will be already assembled, by the time we will come to Oerth."

Temir and his companions didn't know, how long did they spent in Astral. Nither of them got tired, thirsy or hungry, but they didn't know, whether it meant something or not. From time to time, various objects and creatures could be visible in the 'windows' yet none of them approached close enough for Temir and his companions to see who or what it was. As about Gasshoji and the rest of Githyanki, they seem to pay these creatures and objects not attention at all.

"We are approaching the our destination" said finally one of Githyanki.
"Confirm it!" ordered Gasshoji.
"Confirming... fragment of Prime Material Plane number one zero eight nine nine six five zero three four nine seven seven one." replied the other Githyanki "The World of Oerth"
"Rip the portal!" ordered Gasshoji "We are going into the Prime Material!"
"Aye-aye, Capt'n!" answered the other two Githyanki, who sat at the boards, as they immediately started to press buttons in what seemed to be chaotic order for Temir and his companions.

Temir and his companions instantly felt, as if they dived somewhere along with the rest of the ship. And in the next moment, that saw a dusky evening sky, which replaced the endless void of Astral. They were in Prime Material Plane once again.

"That's where we must split our ways." says Gasshoji, turning to Temir and his companions once again "Your little army is awaiting for you, Temir, or should I call you General Temir now?" Gasshoji smirked "It may look pathetic to you, yet remember, everything will depand on youi from now on. Crush, kill and destroy our enemies to get more influence and power. Make alliances and hatch plots for the very same reasons. I'll offer you one last advice for now: I am sure, that you will soon have messengers from the Demonic Wizard's general, known as Leiton Ashwand. Don't listen to his promises, for his fate is already decided. He has been to slow in his cowardice, and now everybody want to see him removed out of the picture. His destruction will allow more worthy people, like you are, to show themselves and increase their power and influence in the service of Demonic Wizard. You might find interesting to make an alliance with old bag of bones and his frined, though they are pathectic, they are probably the most trustworthy among us. That's all I am going to say for now. Farewell, and may we meet again."

Before Temir or either of his companions could reply, they felt as they were pulled away once again. In the next moment, they have found ourselves standing upon the hard rocky ground. High above them, the blood red silhouette of Red Death disappeared through the black portal, which instantly closed behind it...
