Sheol Brick

sheol rock · sheol rocks · the burning stones

Perpetually-burning infernal stones from Fire Brandy's fire — coveted by Mordecai, gathered by the hundreds for the descent.

Story so far

Sheol rocks are the perpetually-burning infernal stones that fuel Fire Brandy's sheol fire aboard the Nightmare, keeping her fiery young alive. Carl shows one to Mordecai, who is so excited he 'practically jizzed himself' and orders Carl to retrieve as many as possible. Brandy, now melancholy but generous, gives Carl several hundred still-burning pieces plus a few dozen unlit ones — keeping just enough to feed her own fire.

A valuable alchemical/crafting resource banked for whatever Mordecai has planned on the floors below.

Appearance

Glowing, burning brick-like stones; some already alight with sheol fire, others dormant and unlit.

Role

A coveted burning infernal crafting resource, harvested from Fire Brandy for the party's descent.

Relationships

fire-brandyBk 2 — Whose fire they fuel and who gives Carl hundreds of them.

Carl — Who collects hundreds of them for the descent.
