Welcome back to Dark Nexus.
Tonight, it's Act 4, Chapter 184.
We're back in the mudroom, antechamber to the soul, in the hush following the storm.
Y'all reached the heart of the Mysterium, and you found only ruin and devastation.
you perhaps wisely decided that discretion was the better part of valor and opted to not attempt to take the corrupted keeper down, but just narrowly managed to survive avoiding it long enough to grab this alien object, this Migo Ring Gate, and escape.
And then Pandora learned what she could from it.
She saw Lolz steal a pair of these from Archimedes back in Casimir, And then she saw Lowell's bring this one into the soul on the day everything happened and use it to yoink the Necronomicon out of this inescapable prison.
One cannot teleport in or out of any level of the Mysterium.

But you do know that gates work since that's how all the levels are connected.
And Lowell's managed to find a portable gate that he could smuggle in.
He shrunk himself down, dropped through the ring you're currently holding, and came out in its matched partner back on his ship.

And then the Outer Gods had a great big party, essentially, and sent all sorts of pals through the cracks.

Let's talk through them.
