Omeprazole is offended by anything that resembles a Celestian holy symbol

TskTsk: Omeprazole wraps up his discussion with us, informing us that he has a more powerful clutchmate to report to—Zirtek. As we move throughout the halls Omeprazole notices a Celestian holy symbol that Bo forgot he had and a fight nearly breaks out. With some fierce negotiating we calm things down and avoid a fight.

As we move to meet with Zirtek, we notice that only the Outer Planes have portals in this complex. None of the inner planes have portals here. I only know this because that's what Fuelwen and Omeprazole said.

Fuelwen: After a brief misunderstanding, the Inevitable takes us to see his superior. Essentially, they want us to help them defeat the Entropic Reaper in exchange for a boon. I still think he may be a menace out of our abilities, but with the aid of two Inevitables of great power, I think the field is more even.

It will be a challenge.

Our quarry stands in a puddle of goblins

TskTsk: After a short talk with Zirtek we hear screaming from nearby! We move quickly but tactically to engage, with our new companions casting buffs on us.

Fuelwen: It was not a challenge. The only challenge this creature provided was in his death- he cursed us all. I am now compelled to live for a year in Limbo, and I was briefly blind and insane- Bo helped relieve me of those conditions.

We take, as a portion of our boon, a cure for that condition.

Leonal tracker pounces out of a portal

Fuelwen: With the main threat in this temple dispatched, we go to find a place to sleep. Both Brilla and I are compelled to visit Limbo, so we settle on a room with a portal to Asgaard instead- while it's unlikely that we could activate the Limbo portal without the appropriate key (leant to the Inevitables for a few days), there's no reason to take chances.

That morning, a Leonal appeared in our chamber. He had been tracking a traitor, and warned us to kill it on sight. It's unlikely that both the Leonal and his quarry stumbled into our plane, so I suspect that he won't find what he seeks here. With no way to activate the Asgaard portal, he's stuck until he can find a better way to travel.
