Okay, so I'm experiencing a personal first: My house in this session is underground. That's not the problem, the problem is that my Denizen covered the surface with clouds that rain some kind of caustic acid, driving all my consorts underground. I'm almost certain this has something to do with my planet being the Land of Tunnels and Caves.
The problem is, I can't stop the rain until my Denizen is dead, and I can't kill the fucker without finishing all of its quests, and as one might expect from this game, all the ones left require me to go to the surface. Not only are the consorts being zero help, they actually plugged up all the surface routes with bedrock, which seems to be one of the few things that resists the acid. Don't ask me how they did it, they won't tell me. Matter of fact, they actually destroyed their records of how they did it because they were worried that someone tampering with the plugs might flood the tunnels by accident.
I really hope you guys can help me with this, because I am stumped.

((this is not LC from the current IRC plot, this is her from about a week ago, etc. etc.))
How far along are you on dreamself quests? If you can get the dreamself to [Earn Your Wings], you will be able to fly it off the planet. Your dreamself is mostly invisible to other game abstractions, but the Denizen will be able to see it, and that can be used for bargaining purposes.

Something blocking your way? And you're a Rage aspect?
Have you tried, say, shouting at it? 
Seriously, if your consorts are stopping you from confronting your denizen, then order them to let you pass. If you're angry enough, you might be able to order their barricades out of the way too.
If you're worried about the rain, then try to find out (or have a co-player find out) what sort of acid it actually is. Unless it's something absolutely horrendous like Chlorine Trifluoride we should be able to help you come up with a defence. (If it IS Chlorine Trifluoride then I'd recommend just digging a tunnel into the Denizen's lair. That stuff is nasty.)

I don't think Rage powers work on bedrock, eD. He'd be better off trying to dig his own tunnel by screaming the dirt out of the way, which is to say, it's not feasible at all.
Assuming the acid is something dangerous, using the dreamself may not be safe either--you can alchemize yourself acid-resistance gear but you'd have to meet up with your dreamself in person to give it over. It might work if you first make a pitstop on someone else's land which you can reach--assuming your gates aren't stuck aboveground.
The consorts sound suspiciously prescient if they destroyed their records of how to do something that they suspected a Rage player would later want.
Perhaps you can just invite your space player to teleport you to the desired location while kitted out with acid-resistant gear? Probably want someone to scry on it first though.

Actually, with sufficient Yelling, and assuming it's a small block that's not anchored to a larger mass, you can move it with Rage. Can't put a scratch on it or damage it in any way, but you can move it a bit.
Mind you, there might have been other factors at work that one time. I wasn't exactly in a state to recall things clearly. |

I found out why the records were destroyed. Turns out my session's Time player forced my consorts to do it after an offshoot me accidentally flooded the tunnels and somehow doomed everybody.
Yelling at the rocks seems too active for my liking--Page is supposed to be passive, right? So what I'm thinking is that since the consorts plugged up the tunnels once, they should be the best ones to undo it. Probably going to have to break some heads to get 'em motivated. What do you guys think?

Maybe you shouldn't? If your time player is concerned about the tunnels flooding when you open them then I would try not to do that. I'm not suggesting you just sit underground and do nothing but it seems like kind of a rash course of action to take if you know it could doom everybody.

Page is active, Knight is passive. Figure out a way to avoid flooding the underground - talk to the consorts, perhaps, get them to help you go confront the Denizen; point out to them that you can't deal with the Beast if you can't get to it.
