Can we tell anything about how close we are in the real world? Or what part of the country we're in?

I'd suggest Umbral travel, if possible. Twister is a powerful ally for us if any trouble should pop up, and he may be able to help us traverse difficult sections of the Umbra to get home.

You'd have to guess you're in Mexico... somewhere.

Yeah, let's stay in the umbra for the time being. Probably a lot faster and safer than travel in the other world. Besides, if something comes up we can just jump back into the normal world.

For now, the webs are mostly traversable--there are numerous visible holes in them that the pattern spiders are busily attempting to fix.
After nearly three days, you arrive on familiar ground. You see many more streaks in the sky--many that are clearly visible by day. One in particular catches your attention on the night before your arrival. Solace mutters something about a flaming death spear under her breath as it passes. You're about a half hour from the caern.

Ulric moves over closer to Solace as they walk. "Hey Solace, what're you muttering about over here? I just heard something about flaming death bear. Is that a new metal band?" he says with a joking smile.

"Spear. Like in the prophecy."

"Ah, right, the Prophecy of the Phoenix... That puts us solidly somewhere between the 5th and 6th part I think. Cause we've got the falling flames, and the sun ate the moon... sorta. Luckily things don't look too bad yet. I think we've still got some time to save mother earth."

"Yeah..." James trails off. "So, which part of the prophesy are we planning on stepping in and stopping?"

"Bro, that's like Get heresy right there." He shakes his head and stops to think for a second. "Normally the Get just talk about it coming down to the final battle and us making sure our side wins... I don't know if it's possible to stop any of the steps before it gets there. I mean, fuck, the last thing was the moon shattering to pieces in an attempt to stop a giant asteroid from ramming the earth... I mean, we were able to step in, but us stepping in caused that part of the prophecy to come true rather than stopping it. Of course... the options there were end of the world, or sign of the end of the world..."

"At least we're still alive," Twister says with a smirk.

"That's kinda my point." James says. "I don't like being a wet blanket, but what exactly do we do to stop the end of the world? I see it one of two ways, we wait it out and step in on that last fight, rested up and fresh, or we try to stop one of the signs first, and make it one of those 'false-start' apocalypses."
