In Which Zero is Cremated Alive

Description:

A note was later added that this next entry was six months after the last. The intervening entries have not been found, but reports show Zero was active in Sigil during this time, repeatedly dying and returning to life in spectacular and mostly magical ways.

Here, she has awakened on an autopsy table, and is greeted by a skull and, one would guess, an awful miasma of smells. She learns that people are dying and then waking up, and this is making people angry. A flying cat returns her red marble to her, fantastical you say? She was often seen in the company of one Cordon the merchant who had such a flying cat he called Chroma.

It appears that next, she and others she awoke with, for surely at least Cordon was there, and given records of the time, probably an entire group of characters who had been gallivanting around the city together, decided to sneak through the darkened mortuary. If you thought the cat a delusion, she next appears to have witness skeletons and ghosts having a puppet show. I only report what I see in her drawings, you should see her paintings.

It appears they may have next encountered a Duskman and a flesh golem in another room. He, very likely, objected to their attempts to leave and looks to have called a couple minotaur skeletons to help dissuade them. Though it looks like they found a doorway out, and a zombie manning at least one side of the hallway. It looks, however, as though Zero may have perished once again in a horrific fire. Perhaps an incinerator, instead of getting out of the Mortuary that time.
