Unaka Visits Truffenyi's Altar

[Temple Grounds, Cobblestone Path]
The astonishing sight of the grand temple lies to the north, atop a massive stairway. Three towers flank the sides of the structure, a complex network of walkways stretching between them and the temple's top levels. A smooth cobblestone path runs east and west here, curving around to the grounds areas on either side of the temple. You also see an iron-bound oak door next to the base of the stairway.

Delg settles into a comfortable position and closes his eyes.

You continue your journey up the massive stairway.
On your journey up a massive stairway you reach...
[Temple Grounds, Grand Stairway]
Below to either side, paths curve around in between the main temple and the east and west towers. The monoliths stretch upwards and lean slightly toward the temple itself, as if grasping out toward the beacon area atop the structure, above the Eyes of The Thirteen. Smoothly cut granite steps lead upward to the north, climbing toward the massive temple.

Jopler arrives from further down the massive stairway.
Saragos arrives from further down the massive stairway.

[Temple Grounds, Grand Stairway]
The grand stairway continues its ascent to the north, approaching the looming orb of the temple. Ornate silverwillow banisters curve down from the entrance, polished to a lustrous sheen and carved to resemble flowing streams, trickling serenely to the bottom of the stairs.

[Grand Stairway, Temple Entrance]
The stairs descend to the south providing a spectacular view of the meandering Segoltha river. The grand orb-like temple yawns open directly to the north, its massive double doors sure to ward off any foolish invaders who may besiege this religious fortress. Two massive bronze sconces protrude above the entryway, each shaped like an outstretched feline's paw clutching an eternal flame -- surely a blessing from the goddess of civilization who aided in the reconstruction of this monument. You also see a young acolyte.

Unaka arrives from further down the massive stairway.
Truffenyi's Prophet Unaka's group went through two massive double doors.
[The Crossing Temple, Entrance Hall]
Light flows like a stream from beyond a large archway, enveloping the entire entrance hall with radiance. Beautifully carved pillars stand on either side of the arch, greeting visitors and monks that make their way towards the center of the globe. Curving along the outer wall of the Temple, long plaster hallways with polished mahogany floors lead worshippers clockwise and widdershins around the sphere. You also see a large archway and the massive double ironwood doors leading out of the temple.

Unaka's group moves widdershins down the hallway.
[The Crossing Temple, Hallway] )
A fresh breeze wafts along the passage, bringing with it the gentle but fragrant scents of the garden. Along the outside wall, a long curving planter filled with rich soil provides a tiny sanctuary for young saplings to grow. Standing protectively in front of them, a mahogany pedestal rises like a monument to its living brethren.

Ciles calmly exclaims in a Gorbesh accent, "Forward march!"

Unaka's group moves widdershins down the hallway.
[The Crossing Temple, Hallway]
Curiously elusive, a faint musty smell intrudes upon an otherwise elegant hallway. An antique crystal chandelier emits a warm golden glow that caresses everything from the central wooden pedestal to the narrow wooden staircase that ascends the outside wall.

Unaka's group moves widdershins down the hallway.
[The Crossing Temple, Hallway]
Flickering torches secured in iron sconces illuminate a sprawling mural upon the walls. Panoramic images depict a gathering of diverse figures joined in concentric circles about a large white boulder resting at the center of a forest clearing. The pristine surface of the monolithic stone is scorched with a totemic simulacrum of a great horned owl in flight. You also see a mahogany pedestal with a flickering crystalline orb on it.

Unaka's group moves widdershins down the hallway.
[The Crossing Temple, Hallway]
Twin plaster columns rise on either side of a descending stairway, supporting the spheriform walls. Along the inner curve of the hallway, an arched mahogany entrance leads to a white marble walkway that spans the distance between the circular rim and the High Altar at the center of the Temple.

Unaka's group moves clockwise down the hallway.

You follow Unaka onto a staircase...
On your journey up a staircase you reach...
[Eyes of the Thirteen, Hallway]
The hallway continues its curved passage leading to each of the Eyes of the Thirteen. A narrow wooden staircase, recessed into one wall, is visible as it curves gently downward toward the lower portions of the temple. To the northwest within the curving passage, sprinkles of some kind of shimmering purple dust are visible on the floor, adding a remarkable contrast of color against the white plaster walls.

[Eyes of the Thirteen, Hallway]
Matte black marble rises in a graceful arch leading to the entrance to a shrine. Steel dagger hilts, their blades buried in the stone, radiate outwards along the curve of the arch, while the keystone is carved with the image of a snarling amber-eyed panther.

Unaka's group moves clockwise down the hallway.
[Eyes of the Thirteen, Hallway]
Finely carved mahogany borders hug the curves of the archway which serves as entrance to the shrine. A faint corona of ruddy light flows through the arch, bathing the pale paster with a pale reddish tint.

Unaka's group moves clockwise down the hallway.
[Eyes of the Thirteen, Hallway]
The pale walls of the hallway curve to each side, reflecting on floors of polished marble tile. Set into the tiles before the entrance to the Shrine of Mortals is an intricate mosaic crafted from multicolored glass. Diffused blue light pours through the silver-inlaid mahogany archway, setting the glittering mosaic afire with color.

Truffenyi's Prophet Unaka's group went through a silver-inlaid mahogany archway.
[Eyes of the Thirteen, Truffenyi's Shrine]
A silvery blue dome erupts from the wall above, creating a hemisphere to enclose the shrine in hues that mimic the summer sky. Sunlight filtering through the crystal from the chamber beyond fills the room with a steady glow that sparkles where it touches silver specks in the dark granite platform beneath you. Sitting near the archway, an obsidian stand is tipped slightly beneath the paws of an impish agate weasel, leaving a silver magpie on top to backwing as its perch is pushed out from under it. You also see a small altar fashioned from a section of lightning-blasted mistwood and a rich blue marble altar set with a mosaic of jewels.

Truffenyi's Prophet Unaka's group went across a granite platform.
[Eyes of the Thirteen, Eye of Truffenyi]
The granite platform sparkles slightly where touched by the diffused light shed by the silvery blue dome. Silver feathers inlaid in the crystal dapple the surface of a polished granite altar with tiny shadows that almost blend into the stone's already mottled surface. Rising from the altar's center is an ornately carved triptych statue crafted so seamlessly as to appear an extension of the same stone of the altar. You also see a tall silver candlestick.

Zynell hugs Leilanie, who wraps her arms around Zynell with a warm smile.

Ruea hugs Ezerak, who wraps his arms around Ruea with a warm smile.

Rhainn says, "I haven't."

Zynell says to Leilanie, "Blame soth."

Perune says in an Ilithic accent, "If you call a gaping black core looking reaching out to devour my soul before Firulf wisks it away, then yes."

Illiya looks with concern at Unaka.

Unaka says, "It's something I wanted to do before this battle. I thought it would be terrifying, but it has left me surprisingly calm."

Leilanie smiles.

Leilanie smiles at Unaka.

Leilanie shifts her weight.

[General] Your mind hears Dantia thinking, "The Northern Watch will be gathering at the Watch Tower before moving to the Crossing Temple at the appointed time."

Zynell bows her head and mutters a short prayer in a hushed voice. Raising her head, she glances to the shadows with a knowing smile.

Ciles ponders.

Avrenka says, "Well if the Immortals lose, that's likely the case for all of us."

Sheearyn nods to Avrenka.

Ectheleon exclaims, "Fire and Friendship!"

Unaka asks, "Does anyone have any last questions or thoughts to share with me?"

Jaelia says, "We may not. But all we have is the present. The future is a nebulous term or idea that is always ahead, and certainly not known or promised. Outside of the promises with our Immortals do we have a promise of what the future holds."

Allye nods to Avrenka.

Saragos says to Illiya in a rustic accent, "When you get called on by the Immortals to do something that you know you won't stop until it's done... you never know if you'll get used up in the process."

Unaka says to Avrenka, "I appreciate hearing your words. It has been my honor to share what I have learned with you all."

Zynell accepts Valthen's oil.

Unaka says, "Did anyone have final questions about the visions, because I may not be back again."

Kethrai says to Unaka, "Sometimes fighting is inevitable because one side or another refuses to pursue any other course. When everyone refuses it, well... twice inevitable is still inevitable, I guess."

Illiya lays her hand on Rozalynde's arm.

Casari says, "At least you may finally have a chance to put your lust for violence to use."

Unaka says, "For what it's worth, I don't know if the Immortals refused it. My impression is that they feel forced into this position."

Allye's tail undulates lazily through the air.

Avrenka asks Unaka, "Well this is quite the nonsequetor but ... any more insight about the Bulwark? Are we inside the box to keep things out? Or outside the box to keep things in?"

Sothios begins to carefully examine some demonscale assassin's leathers reinforced with gold-tinged purple glaes.

Unaka says, "Maybe if I'd had more time, I could have figured out how to communicate with Truffenyi better."

Saragos says to Kethrai in a rustic accent, "Yeah, it would have been nice, wouldn't it, if the Heralds would have deigned to speak with us and work something out."

Betlind grins at Avrenka, her dimples flashing into view.

Unaka says to Avrenka, "Good question. I can give you my guess, as long as you know it is just a guess."

Avrenka quietly says, "Might as well pursue knowledge to the end."

Avrenka nods to Unaka.

Anuril says to Saragos, "There are too many who would never give up sorcery, it is too convenient for them."

Unaka says, "I think probably the better way is to think of it as being inside the box, keeping things out. Again, just my guess."

Avrenka says, "Makes sense."

Saragos says to Anuril in a rustic accent, "Deflection. Always deflection about this. The point remains, they would not speak to us. They only thing they ever offered were flat demands with hostages in hand."

Avrenka says, "I'm gonna keep asking questions until someone stops me."

Avrenka ducks his head.

Anuril says, "They spoke quite a bit over the millenia."

Unaka says, "It's true, they wouldn't."

Unaka says to Avrenka, "Go ahead."

Avrenka says to Unaka, "Is the Paladin Code something objectively real, or is it subjectively made by social agreement."

Unaka says, "Curiosity is a good trait. We always need those with curiosity."

Anuril says, "It's not their fault you refuse to give up a convenience to spare their lives."

Unaka chuckles at Avrenka.

Ciles grins at Avrenka.

Illiya smiles at Unaka, revealing the dimples in her cheeks.

Lupdels removes a moonsilver zuceira depicting a warm outdoor scene beneath a sungold disc from his belt.

Lupdels gets a black chamois cloth from inside his green backpack.

Unaka says to Avrenka, "I may be a Paladin, but my focus is on Truffenyi, his visions, and the conflict with the Heralds."

Lupdels puts his cloth in his green backpack.

Avrenka says, "So you stay out of politics, got it."

Perune says in an Ilithic accent, "Oh."

Casari says, "It's probable that the Immortals orchestrated all of this from the beginning. Unfortunately, their side is probably the only one we can choose and still retain ourselves, at this point."

Saragos says to Anuril in a rustic accent, "I'm sorry, if that was what was at stake, perhaps they could have moved themselves to have a discussion instead of engaging in terror tactics."

Ectheleon asks, "Are Paladins vessels of darkness keeping it from contaminating the world or are they vessels of light purging the darkness around them?"

Ectheleon ponders.

Rozalynde nods at Saragos, obviously agreeing with his views.

Saragos says in a rustic accent, "As it is, we're going to make them pay, and pay for their crimes. It's coming soon."

Ciles grins at Ectheleon.

Betlind says to Ectheleon, "Yes."

Ruea leans on Ayrell.

Ectheleon grins at Betlind.

Ciles nods to Betlind.

Anuril says to Saragos, "An eye for an eye, tomorrow the whole world will be blind."

Perune asks Unaka in an Ilithic accent, "Out of my blessed curiosity, have you happened to ever had any vision that revealed the true physical form of a Herald?"

Ayrell smiles at Ruea.

Saragos grins at Anuril.

Betlind rubs her nose.

Rozalynde says, "At least there will be a world for tomorrow."

Zynell bows her head and mutters a short prayer in a hushed voice. Raising her head, she glances to the shadows with a knowing smile.

Lupdels says to Ectheleon, "You make Paladins sound like zebras, are they white knights with black stripes or black knights with white stripes."

Rozalynde sighs.

Unaka says, "If you want my personal and probably very biased opinion, I think that the Code is something that was written to mirror what we feel in our souls, combined with a morality that people felt right about at the time it was written."

Jaelia nods.

Avrenka nods.

Zynell playfully tilts her ears toward Sothios.

Shaylynne declares her sudden desire to take a hike as she blends into her surroundings.

Avrenka says, "Makes sense."

Betlind nods to Unaka.

Unaka says to Perune, "I have seen the Heralds in visions of Truffenyi, but I don't think I would call their appearance the same as their literal physical appearance."

Perune nods to Unaka.

Jaelia says, "General code is a good way to start, and can be a good way to live if that individual is unable to move beyond those tennets, they can be great tennets. Ideally the Immortals will call to all of us differently, and paths and codes and charges and demands will change and grow and evolve. Personalize."

Perune says in an Ilithic accent, "I think that is probably the same as anyone who had visions of them."

Avrenka asks Unaka, "Do you think the Heralds are native to our Plane, or foreigners from another plane?"

Ciles calmly says in a Gorbesh accent, "This wouldn't happen in Albaria."

Ciles makes a grunting noise.

Kethrai observes Ciles with fascination.

Ciles folds her arms across her chest.

Unaka says, "Everything in visions from Truffenyi is... it's hard to describe. It's not like any language that we have. Best to think of it as trying to see a two-thousand sided cube from only one side. It's all metaphor, in a way."

Kethrai laughs!

Amabalis giggles.

Kethrai coughs.

Ciles winks at Kethrai.

Avrenka ponders.

Kethrai quietly says, "Sorry."

Avrenka says, "Very interesting analogy."

Shaylynne fades into view, high-spirited from her time spent with nature.

Shaylynne joins Unaka's group.

Unaka says to Avrenka, "I don't know. Truffenyi wasn't here when they got here, I think."

Perune reaches with his fist toward the ground.

Unaka says, "I've never seen anything to indicate they arrived from elsewhere. But maybe."

Avrenka says, "I guess we're delving into the very creation of the Plane at this point."

Casari says, "If the memories echoing in their lairs are to be believed, then they cut their way into this world from elsewhere, at the cost of a star."

Unaka stands up.

Avrenka looks thoughtfully at Casari.

Maraisel says, "Asildu confirmed that as well, for what it's worth."

Avrenka gazes thoughtfully at Casari.

Jaelia stands up.

Ciles calmly says in a Gorbesh accent, "The Hour of Doom is nearly upon us."

Kethrai angles his ears forward, gazing curiously at Casari.

Shaylynne taps her gyre.

Perune says in an Ilithic accent, "To be fair, that view of a vision is in some ways how our very existence is day to day. Our understanding is limited and flawed."

Unaka says, "I wish I could stay for longer, but I should go prepare."

Avrenka says, "Or the Hour of our Truimph."

Betlind bows to Unaka.

Sheearyn nods to Avrenka.

Ciles throws back her shoulders, snapping to attention and with a sharp click of her heels, renders Unaka a crisp salute.

Allye nods to Unaka.

Jade Lotus Illiahanna came across Truffenyi's shrine.

Ectheleon exclaims, "Be well, Unaka. And thank you for all you have done!"

Unaka says, "Everything I showed you all was real, and as I saw it. All the visions... they all exist at the same time. Remember that."

Avrenka says to Ciles, "On the contrary. I believe this will be our finest hour."

Unaka says, "Most importantly, it has been an honor to serve you all, and you, Truffenyi."

Illiahanna hugs Zynell, getting a smile in return.

Avrenka bows to Unaka.

Rhainn places her hands on her thighs and bows deeply at the waist towards Unaka, holding the position for a moment before returning upright.

Leilanie frowns.

Unaka says, "Fight well, fight hard, fight for our Plane and our civilization."

Avrenka says to Unaka, "Stars guide you."

Lexxa bows to Unaka.

Ciles left the group.

Sheearyn says to Unaka, "Thank you so much for your work and dedication. I hope we can follow your example and leadership."

Unaka designates Illiya as the new leader of the group.

Unaka left the group.

Unaka smiles.

Unaka nods.

Ciles calmly exclaims to Unaka in a Gorbesh accent, "Good luck!"

Sheearyn nods to Ciles.

Truffenyi's Prophet Unaka strides up.

Saragos nods.

Exsanguinator Jopler lopes up.

* Unaka returns home from a hard day of adventuring.

Casari cracks her knuckles.

Ciles calmly asks in a Gorbesh accent, "Should we be outside?"

Firehawk Casari goes up.

Leilanie gives a slight nod.

Leilanie says, "I think so."

Illiya says, "I guess we should go back outside."

Commander Lexxa strides up.

Jade Lotus Illiahanna goes up.

Ectheleon says, "Am sad."

Leilanie nods to Ectheleon.

Phalanx Ciles troops up.

Ectheleon hugs Leilanie, who wraps her arms around Ectheleon with a warm smile.

Sheearyn nods to Ectheleon.

Shield of Starlight Betlind goes up.

Leilanie pulls Ectheleon to her in a tight hug.

Voodoo Priestess Hiidie's group came across Truffenyi's shrine.

Saragos says in a rustic accent, "Ok. Heading out if anyone wants to group up."

Ectheleon wanders up.

Rhainn joins Illiya's group.

Illiya designates Saragos as the new leader of the group.

Rozalynde joins Saragos's group.

Hiidie joins Leilanie's group.

Leilanie reaches over and holds hands with Ariefyre.

Saragos grins at Illiya.

Healer Leilanie walks up, leading her group.

Avrenka joins Saragos's group.

Lupdels joins Saragos's group.

Maraisel joins Saragos's group.

Ruea joins Saragos's group.

Avrenka whispers to your group, "Ok who we focusing first?"

Avrenka chortles softly at some secret joke.

Sheearyn laughs at Avrenka.

Zynell stands up.

Zynell carefully gathers up the delicate folds of a night-black starlight velvet prayer tapestry stitched with loimic and fey-bone.

Zynell puts her tapestry in her encompassing shadows.

Perune whispers to your group, "Issendar."

Zynell joins Saragos's group.

Sothios joins Saragos's group.

Zynell looks at Sothios and sighs.

Saragos says in a rustic accent, "Leaving in 10."

A Call to Arms (Act 1)

Moon Mage Only Vision:
* Your vision fades. A starless sky overtakes your vision, with only lingering traces of familiar geometry -- as each portent of Fate is sequentially removed as if it never existed. Where you expect twisting and interconnected pathways toward infinite futures, you cannot even sense the familiar pathways of ill-fated ends -- instead, you simply perceive nothingness, culled and rent from futures that you can no longer see. Your vision returns to normal.

Cleric Only Vision:
* Your vision fades. A dim light flickers across a hewn stone floor, revealing the silhouette of two cloaked figures, each pounding a white-hot blade. You hear an echoing of metal clanking against metal -- of a forge. Hushed words between two artisans discuss the urgency of their craft. A stern voice -- that, presumably, of one smith -- urges haste. "We cannot let them go to battle without these weapons." The second, cold and calculated, replies. "And yet if these weapons are not correct, they will be of no use. Focus on the task at hand -- think of Elide, Issendar, and Kirmhara. Focus on the purpose of ending them." The first pauses, pulling His hood back to reveal raven-black hair, grunts in response -- "Then Tallis best buy us time." The hammer strikes resume a rapid cadence. Your vision returns to normal.

Avrenka says, "A vision."

Saragos says in a rustic accent, "Moving."

You follow Saragos up.
[Eyes of the Thirteen, Truffenyi's Shrine]
A silvery blue dome erupts from the wall above, creating a hemisphere to enclose the shrine in hues that mimic the summer sky. Sunlight filtering through the crystal from the chamber beyond fills the room with a steady glow that sparkles where it touches silver specks in the dark granite platform beneath you. Sitting near the archway, an obsidian stand is tipped slightly beneath the paws of an impish agate weasel, leaving a silver magpie on top to backwing as its perch is pushed out from under it. You also see a small altar fashioned from a section of lightning-blasted mistwood and a rich blue marble altar set with a mosaic of jewels.

Defier of the Heralds Saragos's group went through a silver-inlaid mahogany archway.
[Eyes of the Thirteen, Hallway]
The pale walls of the hallway curve to each side, reflecting on floors of polished marble tile. Set into the tiles before the entrance to the Shrine of Mortals is an intricate mosaic crafted from multicolored glass. Diffused blue light pours through the silver-inlaid mahogany archway, setting the glittering mosaic afire with color.

Saragos's group moves widdershins down the hallway.
[Eyes of the Thirteen, Hallway]
Finely carved mahogany borders hug the curves of the archway which serves as entrance to the shrine. A faint corona of ruddy light flows through the arch, bathing the pale paster with a pale reddish tint.

Saragos's group moves widdershins down the hallway.
[Eyes of the Thirteen, Hallway]
Matte black marble rises in a graceful arch leading to the entrance to a shrine. Steel dagger hilts, their blades buried in the stone, radiate outwards along the curve of the arch, while the keystone is carved with the image of a snarling amber-eyed panther.

Saragos's group moves widdershins down the hallway.
[Eyes of the Thirteen, Hallway]
The hallway continues its curved passage leading to each of the Eyes of the Thirteen. A narrow wooden staircase, recessed into one wall, is visible as it curves gently downward toward the lower portions of the temple. To the northwest within the curving passage, sprinkles of some kind of shimmering purple dust are visible on the floor, adding a remarkable contrast of color against the white plaster walls.

You follow Saragos onto a staircase...
On your journey down a staircase you reach...
[The Crossing Temple, Hallway]
Curiously elusive, a faint musty smell intrudes upon an otherwise elegant hallway. An antique crystal chandelier emits a warm golden glow that caresses everything from the central wooden pedestal to the narrow wooden staircase that ascends the outside wall. Obvious paths: clockwise, widdershins.

Saragos's group moves clockwise down the hallway.
[The Crossing Temple, Hallway]
A fresh breeze wafts along the passage, bringing with it the gentle but fragrant scents of the garden. Along the outside wall, a long curving planter filled with rich soil provides a tiny sanctuary for young saplings to grow. Standing protectively in front of them, a mahogany pedestal rises like a monument to its living brethren.

Saragos's group moves clockwise down the hallway.
[The Crossing Temple, Entrance Hall]
Light flows like a stream from beyond a large archway, enveloping the entire entrance hall with radiance. Beautifully carved pillars stand on either side of the arch, greeting visitors and monks that make their way towards the center of the globe. Curving along the outer wall of the Temple, long plaster hallways with polished mahogany floors lead worshippers clockwise and widdershins around the sphere. You also see a large archway and the massive double ironwood doors leading out of the temple.

Defier of the Heralds Saragos's group went through the massive double ironwood doors leading out of the temple.
[Grand Stairway, Temple Entrance]
The stairs descend to the south providing a spectacular view of the meandering Segoltha river. The grand orb-like temple yawns open directly to the north, its massive double doors sure to ward off any foolish invaders who may besiege this religious fortress. Two massive bronze sconces protrude above the entryway, each shaped like an outstretched feline's paw clutching an eternal flame -- surely a blessing from the goddess of civilization who aided in the reconstruction of this monument. You also see a young acolyte.

[Temple Grounds, Grand Stairway]
The grand stairway continues its ascent to the north, approaching the looming orb of the temple. Ornate silverwillow banisters curve down from the entrance, polished to a lustrous sheen and carved to resemble flowing streams, trickling serenely to the bottom of the stairs.

You continue walking down the massive stairway.

Everyone:
* You hear Kssarh's loud thoughts in your head saying, "Adventurer -- Asildu has informed us that Elide, Issendar, and Kirmhara have prepared a final assault and intend to draw the Immortals into battle. They intend to eradicate the Gods, and us. To buy us time, Tallis will be activating the Temple defenses at the Eyes of the Thirteen in the Crossing. Proceed to Ve Aevan Gaenan -- keep the defenses charged, so that the Immortals can focus on preparing a counterattack."

You make your way further down the massive stairway...
You continue your journey down the massive stairway.
On your journey down a massive stairway you reach...
[Temple Grounds, Grand Stairway]
Below to either side, paths curve around in between the main temple and the east and west towers. The monoliths stretch upwards and lean slightly toward the temple itself, as if grasping out toward the beacon area atop the structure, above the Eyes of The Thirteen. Smoothly cut granite steps lead upward to the north, climbing toward the massive temple.

You follow Saragos down a massive stairway...
You continue walking down the massive stairway.
You make your way further down the massive stairway...
You continue your journey down the massive stairway.
On your journey down a massive stairway you reach...
[Temple Grounds, Cobblestone Path]
The astonishing sight of the grand temple lies to the north, atop a massive stairway. Three towers flank the sides of the structure, a complex network of walkways stretching between them and the temple's top levels. A smooth cobblestone path runs east and west here, curving around to the grounds areas on either side of the temple. You also see a smokey grey leopard with hypnotic crimson eyes and flecks of ashes on her fur that is sitting, a swaying plant dancing to a melody only heard by the vela'tohr, a white leopard that is sitting, a floating vessel of flaring crimson light, Brother Fargis that appears rather calm and an iron-bound oak door next to the base of the stairway.

Defier of the Heralds Saragos's group went into an iron-bound oak door next to the base of the stairway.
[Resurrection Creche, Li Stil rae Kwego ia Kweld]
Fragrant smoke drifts from censers to carry periodic ripples of sound from the rooms beyond, bringing the silvery chime of bells and rhythmic cadence of chant to rise and fall in the air like the heartbeat of the Temple itself. An ivory rug cloaks the floor, surrounding an altar of translucent obsidian swirled with fiery highlights. Stained-glass gaethzen orbs circle the altar with a misty nimbus of violet light shading to crimson and then to amber and gold -- the colors of dawn and of life renewed. You also see a tall vela'tohr bush casting a wraithlike shadow with gnarled hands and an iron-bound oak door set in the far wall.

Citizen Miraeven's group came out of an iron-bound oak door set in the far wall.

Avrenka whispers to your group, "whisp group A starless sky overtakes your vision, with only lingering traces of familiar geometry -- as each portent of Fate is sequentially removed as if it never existed. Where you expect twisting and interconnected pathways toward infinite futures, you cannot even sense the familiar pathways of ill-fated ends -- instead, you simply perceive nothingness, culled and rent from futures that you can no longer see.

Citizen Miraeven went into an iron-bound oak door set in the far wall.

Avrenka says, "The web of Fate is ... empty."

Ramtar went into an iron-bound oak door set in the far wall.

Saragos nods.

Everyone: (Seen from outside the Temple grounds)
* The bustling streets pause for a moment, as Kssarh's words resonate among every individual as far as you can see simultaneously. In moments, mass panic sets in. Where people had been going about their business, you watch as they abandon tasks -- some, dropping objects in the street, while others sprint away, presumably searching for loved ones. In moments, you hear the bustle of the Town Guard suddenly forcing their way through the streets, preparing to repel invaders at the gates.

With a horrendous crack of thunder, vast curtains of crackling white energy cascade downward from high above Immortals' Approach, engirdling the temple complex in a protective dome taller than its triple guard towers. The main orb-shaped edifice begins to gleam splendorously like a titanic jewel alit by the gods themselves.

From the apex of the temple's great orb, a beam of blinding silver light spears upward to the heavens, pulsating steadily as though a divine pharos.

A Human crier steps in and announces, "You heard Kssarh's words." The crier begins frantically organizing. "Guards, cease patrols and man the walls by order of Prince Belirendrick IV. Citizens, hide in the tunnels while we can keep them safe. Adventurers, charge the cambrinth orbs inside the Temple to maintain the barrier. Let's plan a triage in the Temple, to take advantage of the wards. We expect heavy casualties, but Zoluren -- we've been preparing for this. Do not engage drakes unless you are prepared for battle, take care of your neighbors, and group up." She then rushes off.

Announcement: ***OOC: The Wild Magic finale has begun. Please proceed to the Crossing Temple for the conclusion.***

Three towers flank the sides of the structure, a complex network of walkways stretching between them and the temple's top levels. A smooth cobblestone path runs east and west here, curving around to the grounds areas on either side of the temple.

Cleric Only Vision:
* Your vision fades. A celestial hum fills your senses, a low thrum that vibrates through your very bones. Before you, a tapestry of starlight begins to shimmer, coalescing into a door with four locks -- each, in a peculiar shape, as if unlocked not by a key, but by the presence of an item. Your vision returns to normal, leaving you with the distinct impression that the Gods will need you to prepare to make an offering.

Cleric Only Vision:
* Your vision fades. You see a sleek, obsidian panther, its muscles rippling with silent power. It moves through a perpetual twilight, its eyes twin points of starlight, reflecting unknown constellations. The panther pauses before an intricately locked mechanism, not a physical lock, but a knot of pure energy, shimmering and shifting. With an almost imperceptible movement, the panther extends a single, impossibly slender claw of solidified starlight, and it phases through the complex energies of the lock, twisting and turning with a silent precision that only a master could achieve. The lock shimmers, then dissolves, not breaking, but simply opening, revealing a path beyond. Your vision returns to normal.

Cleric Only Vision:
* Your vision fades. You stand on a windswept, desolate plain beneath a sky heavy with swirling mists. Before you, a jagged, grey runestone, ancient and weather-beaten, rises from the earth. Its surface is alive with glowing glyphs, pulsing with a faint, internal light. A magnificent wolf, its fur the color of moonlit snow, emerges from the mists. It approaches the runestone, its eyes burning with an otherworldly intelligence. The wolf places a paw upon the stone, and a low, resonant hum emanates from it, vibrations that echo deep within your chest. The glyphs on the stone flare brighter, and the air crackles with unseen energies, a sense of ancient knowledge awakening. Your vision returns to normal.

* Your vision fades. You see yourself standing in a verdant, enclosed garden, overflowing with lush, unfamiliar herbs. The air is thick with the scent of life and renewal. An alchemist's hands, gnarled but gentle, move with practiced grace among the plants, plucking glowing leaves and shimmering blossoms. You watch as these ingredients are placed into a crystal alembic, where they begin to dissolve into a swirling, opalescent liquid.

Nawain grows still in communion. After a while, she grips Ayrell's wrists and guides her to hold some grass aloft with both hands as an offering to some deity.

Like a window opening to a sunlit garden, a small rectangle of light expands in the air before Ayrell, filling the area with a multitude of invigorating floral scents.

A black, shadowsilk-like fabric drapes over Sothios's offering. After a few moments, the diaphanous folds lift and flutter away, leaving behind a glowing Damaris orb. Its surface stirs with a phantasmagoria of frightened children before turning glassy.

As you follow Ezerak through the oak door, you feel a tingle pass over your body. Just as quickly as it started, it stops.
[Resurrection Creche, Li Stil rae Kwego ia Kweld]
Fragrant smoke drifts from censers to carry periodic ripples of sound from the rooms beyond, bringing the silvery chime of bells and rhythmic cadence of chant to rise and fall in the air like the heartbeat of the Temple itself. An ivory rug cloaks the floor, surrounding an altar of translucent obsidian swirled with fiery highlights. Stained-glass gaethzen orbs circle the altar with a misty nimbus of violet light shading to crimson and then to amber and gold -- the colors of dawn and of life renewed. You also see a tall vela'tohr bush casting a wraithlike shadow with gnarled hands and an iron-bound oak door set in the far wall.

Lupdels just arrived.

Defier of the Heralds Saragos went into an iron-bound oak door set in the far wall.

[General] Your mind hears Dartwin thinking, "Get ready folks, I feel we are gonna feel the Wrath of the Immortals here soon."

Maraisel asks, "Does anyone know where to go from here?"

[General] Your mind hears Karthor thinking, "Methinks folks're still bein' thwarted by the doos fer the most part."

Necho shrugs.

Lupdels asks, "Was there a plan?"

Lupdels smiles.

Adelbrand came through an iron-bound oak door next to the base of the stairway.

Lupdels sighs.

[General] Your mind hears Mikeale thinking, "which is the safest path to the triage area?"

Necho says, "I only made it to the bank and got melted."

Maraisel says, "We're trying to get to where Tallis summoned us."

Ezerak's group moves widdershins down the hallway.
[Resurrection Creche, Dispensary]
A bustle of activity greets each fresh arrival of wounded. Long rows of narrow cots covered with immaculate white linen are reserved for recovering patients. Empaths move efficiently through the room, offering words of comfort as they check on the status of their charges. The smooth granite walls are adorned along the upper border with a brightly painted plaster frieze depicting long garlands of medicinal herbs interspersed with jadice flowers. You also see a large white cabinet.

(travel)

[General] Your mind hears Mikeale thinking, "I'm assuming stay to the west of town?"

[Ve Aevan Gaenan, The Pillar]
Thick and unyielding as an ancient oak, a steel-like pillar rises from deep within these granite steps, its surface skillfully etched with the nightingale of Phelim and the great wolf of Meraud. Constructed of the same material as the altar below, the formidable column is capped with a halved sphere of an opalescent mineral whose milky interior swirls with a lazy power. Seating areas rest on either side of this great marker, each perched in silent vigil high above the sacred altar. You also see a huge cambrinth orb.

Maraisel arrives from further up the granite stairway.
Ezerak arrives from further up the granite stairway.

Kolja pants.

Ezerak examines a huge cambrinth orb.

Kolja grumbles.

Inouvu nods to Kolja.

Adelbrand arrives from further down the granite stairway.

Miskton says, "If we can't even keep this orb from fully draining, I'm not sure trying to work on others is going to help."

Inouvu takes a sip of his draught.

Jaelia says, "Just charge the orb, any mana it will take it all. We have three spots we need to split into eventually."

Ayrell asks, "Is this the only orb? Or are there others?"

Inouvu takes a sip of his draught.

Inouvu takes a sip of his draught.

Jaelia says, "There are three total."

[General] Your mind hears Navesi thinking, "We have only three people charging the cambrinth orb within the Temple. From the high altar, go southwest, go to the stairs, and go up. You will need to be holding a favor orb to get through the gate to the Temple and the door."

Ezerak examines a huge cambrinth orb.

Uthaldur says in an ancestral accent, "West and eastish. South side doesn't have an orb if I remember correctly."

A dazzling golden light rises from the orb's depths, and hovering just upon its surface, outlines Ezerak's hand as he rubs it.

Adelbrand scans the sky, looking for portents and insight.

Jaelia says, "That is correct."

A dazzling golden light rises from the orb's depths, and hovering just upon its surface, outlines Uthaldur's hand as he rubs it.

[General] Your mind hears Karthor thinking, "I've arrived at the eastern sphere an' started chargin'. So far it's just me here."

Ezerak just touched a huge cambrinth orb.

Maraisel leaves her group and start down a granite stairway.
Maraisel steps onto a granite stairway, moving downwards.

[General] Your mind hears Casari thinking, "Can a moongate get around the defense?"

Inouvu says, "The orb is apparently being worked on. Not sure about the sphere yet."

Jaelia says, "I'm going to split to the west orb then."

Jaelia says, "Karthor is the only one at the east for now it seems."

Jaelia nods.

Inouvu says, "The other orb, I mean."

Jaelia raises her hand in a quick salute.

Jaelia steps onto a granite stairway, moving downwards.

Inouvu says, "Ah."

Adelbrand touches the cambrinth orb and closes his eyes slowly.

Kolja asks, "How much mana can these orbs absorb?"

Inouvu says, "I've put about 1000 in it so far."

Llayana arrives from further down the granite stairway.

[General] Your mind hears Saragos thinking, "Ok, everyone, here's the deal. You need a favor orb IN HAND to enter the Temple. From there, head to the cambrinth orb SW of the High Altar. We need to activate the Temple's defenses."

Kolja nods.

Ezerak scans the area briefly.

Miskton says, "The defenses are also constantly draining it."

Inouvu takes a sip of his draught.

[General] Your mind hears Saragos thinking, "Break off from fighting the drakes, get a favor orb, and get inside the Temple. I can escort people to the Orb."

[General] Your mind hears Dartwin thinking, "Good work, and advice."

Uthaldur asks in an ancestral accent, "Hopefully they're not being pressed too hard, or is it the mere activation that causes the drain?"

Uthaldur gazes at a huge cambrinth orb.

Jaelia just touched a huge cambrinth orb.

Adelbrand touches the cambrinth orb and closes his eyes slowly.

Jaelia flails her arms about.

Jaelia steps onto a granite stairway, moving downwards.

Kolja touches the cambrinth orb and closes her eyes slowly.

Inouvu says, "No idea."

Adelbrand says, "It doesn't seem to be holding much energy..."

Miskton touches the cambrinth orb and closes his eyes slowly.

[General] Your mind hears Navesi thinking, "There is also a cambrinth sphere to the southeast of the high altar that needs to be charged. Southeast, climb the stairway, go up."

Llayana just touched a huge cambrinth orb.

Inouvu just touched a huge cambrinth orb.

[General] Your mind hears Kivian thinking, "does the Favor idol work as a Favor Orb?"

Inouvu touches the cambrinth orb and closes his eyes slowly.

[General] Your mind hears Rabenna thinking, "how do you get a favor orb if the temple is blocked?"

Adelbrand just touched a huge cambrinth orb.

Miskton says to Adelbrand, "What we put in is constantly being drained to power the temple defenses."

Adelbrand nods to Miskton.

Miskton says, "We'll have to outpace that drain to see anything building up."

Jasmania arrives from further down the granite stairway.

[General] Your mind hears Navesi thinking, "Bards, Blessing of the Fae would be especially useful at the orb and sphere, for replenishing mana."

Uthaldur steps onto a granite stairway, moving downwards.

[General] Your mind hears Perune thinking, "By travelling to another altar with an offering."

[General] Your mind hears Saragos thinking, "You can run through the Siergelde ruins for a favor orb, if nothing else, and you can also go to another altar with an offering."

Jasmania joins Inouvu's group.

[General] Your mind hears Navesi thinking, "I went to the Saemaus altar in Arthe Dale with a tart. They are easy to find."

[General] Your mind hears Osiac thinking, "what does charging the orb do?"

[General] Your mind hears Nawain thinking, "A cleric can grant you a favor orb with truffenyi's commune"

Miskton touches the cambrinth orb and closes his eyes slowly.

[General] Your mind hears Navesi thinking, "Charging the orb and sphere activates and powers the Temple's defenses."

[General] Your mind hears Leayne thinking, "where are the orbs and spheres in the temple"

Adelbrand touches the cambrinth orb and closes his eyes slowly.

[General] Your mind hears Unaka thinking, "I bring news. Truffenyi has given a final vision. The Heralds will be making their move soon. Kertigen and Hav'roth are partnering to make weapons to fight the threat, but need time."

Inouvu asks, "Seems to be building up maybe?"

Miskton touches the cambrinth orb and closes his eyes slowly.

Adelbrand says, "A little bit, it would seem."

[General] Your mind hears Unaka thinking, "Aid Tallis in the Temple -- charge the Temple orbs, and shepherd the citizens of Zoluren. Favor orbs from the Sierglade will get you inside while the defenses are active."

Miskton says, "Yes, looks like we might be pulling ahead."

[General] Your mind hears Casari thinking, "Tell Tallis to open the Temple, then."

Adelbrand touches the cambrinth orb and closes his eyes slowly.

[General] Your mind hears Illiya thinking, "We could use more help charging orbs in the temple, if anyone needs a guide let me know"

Adelbrand scans the sky, looking for portents and insight.

[General] Your mind hears Rabenna thinking, "Anyone still able to give out orbs?"

[General] Your mind hears Jaelia thinking, "the Temple is intended to allow access only to the faithful while its defenses are up. If you are capable of receiving favor from the Immortals, you are a friend and may enter."

Ezerak asks Miskton, "Don't suppose you left a moonbeam in the courtyard?"

Miskton nods to Ezerak.

Adelbrand says, "I did, but I tried to cast a gate earlier and sensed interference."

Jasmania just touched a huge cambrinth orb.

Miskton says, "Teleportation is blocked in here."

Ezerak asks Miskton, "Can you open a gate from here?"

Ezerak nods.

Ezerak says, "Of course it is."

Ezerak chuckles.

Miskton says, "Which is probably for the best, considering the defenses."

Ezerak softly says to Ayrell, "Casari is going have to stop being stubborn."

Ayrell nods at Ezerak, obviously agreeing with his views.

Ayrell softly says to Ezerak, "It will never happen."

Miskton touches the cambrinth orb and closes his eyes slowly.

Miskton says, "The orb is filling even more."

Adelbrand asks, "Are there already teams at the other orbs?"

[General] Your mind hears Eyst thinking, "And if you are one of the huddled masses not regarded favors, there yet remains room in the tunnel system. The mood among the citizenry there is fearful, but it's safe for the moment."

Ayrell nods to Adelbrand.

[General] Your mind hears Elizzibiana thinking, "or die and use the inner walkways to get around"

Ezerak says to Adelbrand, "At at least one of them, for sure."

Adelbrand nods to Ayrell.

[General] Your mind hears Elizzibiana thinking, "once you've departed to the resurrection altar"

Llayana exclaims, "I just wandered over here, not exactly part of a team. But I'll do my best!"

Adelbrand says, "I don't think Fargis is taking all of this excitement very well."

Inouvu says, "We're all a team."

Ezerak praises Llayana.

[General] Your mind hears Harsh thinking, "many drakes by the bank"

Ezerak says to Llayana, "Just charge it as fast as your attunement will allow, that's all we can ask."

[General] Your mind hears Casari thinking, "If you want to protect people from the drakes, find Betlind. I'm keeping most of the drakes calmed while they are handled."

Inouvu asks, "Anyone have any clue what's going on out there?"

Inouvu chuckles.

Ezerak says to Inouvu, "Drakes."

Ezerak nods.

Miskton says, "Lots of drakes."

Miskton nods to Ezerak.

Adelbrand says, "No, my beam is inside."

Jaelia arrives from further down the granite stairway.

Adelbrand taps a gwethdesuan that he is wearing.

Inouvu asks, "Yeah, I figured that but I mean... the status of the invasion?"

Navesi arrives from further down the granite stairway.

Llayana says, "Well, I only got into the temple when a drake shot me full of lightning."

Adelbrand takes off a gwethdesuan.

Adelbrand attaches a gwethdesuan around his head.

[General] Your mind hears Terlockin thinking, "I'm trying to keep moongates open from the Empath guild. I'm not much help in the fights"

Llayana says, "Since it wasn't a pleasant trip I'll just do what I can until something inevitably happens in here."

[General] Your mind hears Ectheleon thinking, "Keep up primary triage, things are moving well there."

Adelbrand touches the cambrinth orb and closes his eyes slowly.

Inouvu touches the cambrinth orb and closes his eyes slowly.

* The commanding voice of the High Priestess Tallis echoes through the Temple. "Keep the orb charged. The integrity of the wards is more difficult now to maintain, with the interference of the Heralds -- but it is able to be maintained, all the same. Man the orbs, keep the drakes outside, bring the weak and injured in through the tunnels -- and prepare to move to help the Gods when needed."

Inouvu whistles a merry tune.

Adelbrand says, "Halfway full."

[General] Your mind hears Navesi thinking, "There are 16 people at the southwest Temple orb, 9 people at the north Temple orb, and 5 people at the southeast Temple sphere. Be focusing on your orb and see how much it is charged, and move accordingly."

[General] Your mind hears Roxxana thinking, "Thank you Terlockin"

Vaddon arrives from further down the granite stairway.

[General] Your mind hears Mewawl thinking, "domeof enrgy over the temple lifted whie a beamof silver light speared uoward but then surceased"

[General] Your mind hears Terlockin thinking, "Just let me know where else I need them"

Inouvu nods to Vaddon.

Vaddon nods.

Vaddon asks, "How can I help?"

Jasmania touches the cambrinth orb and closes her eyes slowly.

Vaddon casually observes the area.

Jasmania touches the cambrinth orb and closes her eyes slowly.

[General] Your mind hears Taenara thinking, "Where do we take th eorbs once inside the temple?"

Miskton touches the cambrinth orb and closes his eyes slowly.

Inouvu asks, "Keep the orb charged?"

Jaelia says, "Charge the cambrinth orb with mana keep repeating."

Navesi quietly says in a refined accent, "Charge the orb."

Jaelia nods.

Miskton says, "We're at about half capacity."

* As if a direct response to Tallis' words, a thunderous cacophony echoes through the temple. The blinding light that fills the Temple flickers as the ward integrity is challenged, revealing dozens of tiny cracks in the curtain of light from the impact. The barrier reconstitutes itself, at the expense of much of the stored mana. "Keep the wards charged! I do not know how long they will last!"

A horrendous crack of thunder shakes the city.

A flash of silver light from somewhere outside brightens the room.

Miskton touches the cambrinth orb and closes his eyes slowly.

Miskton says, "Well, we were..."

Inouvu says, "And there it goes."

Vaddon touches the cambrinth orb and closes his eyes slowly.

Adelbrand touches the cambrinth orb and closes his eyes slowly.

[General] Your mind hears Mewawl thinking, "nice going folks, the temple is being covered and the spear of light speared upward."

Ayrell touches the cambrinth orb and closes her eyes slowly.

The cambrinth orb has been enchanted with an analogous pattern, which appears to filter any charge it comes into contact with into "neutral" spell energy. This will allow anyone to charge the orb without risk, but at a considerable loss of efficiency.
You are positive that the cambrinth orb contains essentially no energy.

Ezerak asks, "Did it break?"

Bertole arrives from further down the granite stairway.

Illiya arrives from further down the granite stairway.

* The commanding voice of the High Priestess Tallis echoes through the Temple. "Beloved children of the Gods. We have been through much together. I see in your eyes the fear that grips our hearts -- the terror that whispers of an end to all things. A shadow falls upon Elanthia, deeper and colder than any night. It is not born of mortal strife, nor the squabbles of empires. This is an ancient dread, an abyss that hopes to end existence itself. They have made Their demands, and now Their only desire is to unmake us all, to erase the very song of life from the cosmos."

[General] Your mind hears Navesi thinking, "Tallis charges us with keeping the orbs charged. The integrity of the wards is more difficult to maintain with the Heralds' interference. Man the orbs, keep the drakes outside, bring the weak and injured inside. And prepare to move to help the gods when they need it."

Illiya touches the cambrinth orb and closes her eyes slowly.

Miskton says, "Seems like it held, but used up most of the power."

[General] Your mind hears Gwenddolyn thinking, "the favor orb was just to get you into the temple, go to one of the temple orbs to charge the temple. "

Bertole touches the cambrinth orb and closes his eyes slowly.

Adelbrand touches the cambrinth orb and closes his eyes slowly.

Illiya says, "It looks like the hit took up a lot of the energy in the orbs."

Bertole touches the cambrinth orb and closes his eyes slowly.

* As if a direct response to Tallis' words, a thunderous cacophony echoes through the temple. The blinding light that fills the Temple flickers as the ward integrity is challenged, revealing hundreds of tiny cracks in the curtain of light from the impact. The barrier reconstitutes itself, at the expense of much of the stored mana.

Inouvu touches the cambrinth orb and closes his eyes slowly.

* The commanding voice of the High Priestess Tallis echoes through the Temple. "For ages, we have walked beneath the watchful gaze of the Gods, Their light illuminating our paths, Their wisdom guiding our steps. They have blessed our harvests, calmed our storms, and defended us from countless perils. Their essence flows through the very fabric of our reality, giving breath to the winds, warmth to the sun, and life to every creature that walks upon this hallowed earth. Now, these beings turn Their terrible gaze upon our protectors, upon the very wellspring of our being. The Heralds seek to extinguish our divine spark, to unravel the tapestry of creation, leaving behind only an empty void."

Navesi arrives from further down the granite stairway.

Ayrell touches the cambrinth orb and closes her eyes slowly.

The cambrinth orb has been enchanted with an analogous pattern, which appears to filter any charge it comes into contact with into "neutral" spell energy. This will allow anyone to charge the orb without risk, but at a considerable loss of efficiency.

Maraisel arrives from further up the granite stairway.

* The commanding voice of the High Priestess Tallis echoes through the Temple. "We stand at the precipice, not merely of our own destruction, but of the annihilation of all that is sacred, all that is beautiful, all that is. The Gods, in Their infinite power, now call upon us, Their mortal children. Their strength is immense, but this foe is unlike any They have faced alone. This is not a battle of titans, but a desperate struggle for existence itself. They need our hands, our hearts, our unwavering resolve. They need the fire that burns within each of us, the spark of defiance that even the Heralds cannot extinguish."

[General] Your mind hears Nawain thinking, "More mana for the orbs would be good"

Adelbrand says, "Anyone that can do anything to help attunement, should."

A dazzling golden light rises from the orb's depths, and hovering just upon its surface, outlines Jiol's hand as he rubs it.

* As if a direct response to Tallis' words, a thunderous cacophony echoes through the Temple.

* The commanding voice of the High Priestess Tallis echoes through the Temple. "We do not face this threat as isolated adventurers, but as one people, bound by the love of our Gods and the sanctity of life. Look to your left -- look to your right. You see not just your neighbor, but a brother, a sister, a fellow warrior in this ultimate cosmic struggle. We fight for the sunrises we cherish, for the laughter of our children, for the whispers of our ancestors, for the very possibility of tomorrow. We fight for the Gods who have always fought for us."

Llayana winces.

Margeaux glances outside a moment.

Bertole calmly says, "I've dumped close to 400 mana into the orb, and it still says it has essentially no energy. I need a wearable version of this orb once this night is over."

Jasmania sprinkles some holy water on herself.

A pained expression crosses Ayrell’s face.

Adelbrand chuckles at Bertole.

Ezerak rubs Ayrell’s back.

Jasmania puts her vial in her deep indigo pack.

Adelbrand says, "It would be fantastic."

Margeaux touches the cambrinth orb and closes her eyes slowly.

Ezerak says to Bertole, "It's emptying as fast as it is charged."

The fragrant incense on the floor glows faintly as it burns down.

Bertole chuckles at Adelbrand.

Jasmania picks up a burning fragrant incense.

Jasmania waves some fragrant incense over herself.

A wisp of smoke settles around Jasmania, surrounding her with the scent of smoke.

Jaelia gets a tall silvery altar candle from inside her dragonar haversack.

Jaelia gets a small silver dragon from inside her dragonar haversack.

* As if a direct response to Tallis' words, a thunderous cacophony echoes through the Temple. The blinding light that fills the Temple flickers as the Ward integrity is challenged, revealing thousands of gaping cracks in the curtain of light from the impact. The barrier reconstitutes itself more slowly this time, at the expense of much of the stored mana. Tallis' voice echoes, "The Wards cannot take much more."

Jasmania takes a deep breath and then raises her hands, murmuring prayers under her breath. A strong white light fills her, exploding outward and blinding you momentarily. When the light fades Jasmania is lying on the ground, looking exhausted but happy.

Zalinyar touches the cambrinth orb and closes her eyes slowly.

* The commanding voice of the High Priestess Tallis echoes through the Temple. "Today, we cast aside our doubts. Today, we shed our fears. Today, we stand united, mortals and Gods, against the encroaching darkness. Today, I draw my own blade alongside Rutilor's, and I encourage each of you to do the same. Let our courage be the light that pierces the gloom. Let our unity be the shield that protects all creation. Let our will be the force that pushes back the End, saving not just our lives, but the very essence of existence. We go forth, not to die, but to live, to fight, and to emerge victorious. This is our moment. This is our destiny."

An altar candle on the floor burns with a comforting glow.

Jraaxon steps onto a granite stairway, moving downwards.

* A thunderous cacophony echoes through the Temple. The blinding light that fills the Temple flickers as the Ward integrity is challenged, revealing innumerable gaping cracks in the curtain of light from the impact. The barrier flickers, and fades, and the beacon to the stars is instantly quenched -- causing a massive roar to fill the sky. "I fear they are here," Tallis intones. "Get to the tunnels. Unaka, I hope you have a plan. Rutilor, I put my fate in your hands."

Jiol slips a steel scimitar out of his chest harness.

Heralds of the End (Act 2)

* You hear Tiv's loud thoughts in your head saying, "The Temple's wards are failing. If you can make it inside the gate, I can get you to safety, and we will join the Immortals in the fight together."

* A gaping rift of rippling crystal blue luminescence rips through the air in front of you, followed by a sudden blast of frigid wind. You are forcefully drawn through, leaving you in an unfamiliar location...

[Umbral Shadows, Steel-grey Alcove]
Massive blocks of metallic-hued stone rise in irregular courses and form the walls of this shadowy chamber. The variable size and shapes of the blocks add to the non-uniform character, which is enhanced by the wavering light shed by the few torches on the walls. Darkness lurks in the corners where the cyclopean walls meet the polished floor. Suspended from the ceiling is a dark brown pennant displaying a rampant boar in full charge.

[Umbral Shadows, Ashen Alcove]
Fitful light from flickering torches does nothing to beat back the lurking shadows that cling to the massive blocks of the stone walls. Although the corners are gloomy and dim, they are free of the dust and cobwebs that usually accompany sepulchral rooms such as this. Hanging from the overhead stone ceiling is a dark grey banner worked on both sides with a running wolf in lighter grey patchwork. You also see a rounded archway.

[Umbral Shadows, Argent Alcove]
Deep shadows permeate the area, appearing to ooze from the thick stone walls and coalesce along the polished grey stone floor. Although a few guttering torches are set into the dark iron holders, their flicking flames do little to beat back the encroaching shadows. Each block forming the walls and ceiling is so expertly fitted to its neighbor that not even a hair could be inserted into the mortarless joints. Centered in the middle of the floor is an intricate mosaic of a raven in flight, the tiny tesserae forming the feathers crafted from long slivers of jet and obsidian. You also see some orderly rows of stone sarcophagi lining the tunnel walls.
Also here: High Priestess Maraisel who is shrouded in ghostly flames and Mountain Lord Ezerak.

[Umbral Shadows, Fog-grey Alcove]
Despite the tomb-like atmosphere, the room remains remarkably pristine, free of the dust and cobwebs that often fill abandoned spaces. Occasionally, a faint breeze stirs, carrying a whisper of smoke and resin. Flickering torches cast an uneasy light, barely able to push back the shadows that cling persistently to the massive stone blocks of the walls. A white unicorn stands among grey rocks on the plush wool rug covering the stone floor. You also see a corbelled archway.
Also here: High Priestess Maraisel who is shrouded in ghostly flames and Mountain Lord Ezerak.
Obvious exits: east, southwest.

* Echoing through these ancient catacombs, you hear the voice of Unaka bellow: "Find a way through the doors, but keep the citizens safe as they trickle in. Get to the Axis of this place, and we will join the Gods in their assault."

Brutish Miscreant Mahe just arrived.

Allye is apparently wrestling with a corbelled archway.

* A group of unsavory characters emerge from a hidden tunnel behind a stack of crates. The man in the lead, grimy and smelling faintly of stale beer, pushes a small child forward from the dark opening. His face is a sour grimace as he mutters something under his breath. Other children, disheveled and clearly terrified, follow. An old blind beggar shuffles slowly, his unseeing eyes fixed on nothing, as an Elothean child guides his arm away from the hidden passage. His remaining hand clutches his tin cup, even in this emergency. A Halfling sailor lingers near the entrance, a faint cloud of sweet-scented blue smoke trailing from his cigar. He gestures with his thumb-ringed hand, calmly directing families through the narrow opening. Standing at the other side of the opening, a large grimy man spits to the side, narrowly missing the sailor's boot, before he claps a man roughly on the shoulder. He mumbles something unintelligible, scratching his armpit.

Allye ponders.

Brutish Miscreant Mahe strides east.

[Umbral Shadows, Stone-grey Alcove]
The chamber is bathed in deep shadows that seem to seep from the thick stone walls and gather on the rough stone floor. An occasional waft of smoke carries the scent of flames through the otherwise still air. A few sputtering torches, mounted in wrought iron sconces, cast feeble flames that barely hold back the encroaching darkness. A stalking panther covers the hanging banner suspended from the ceiling.
Also here: High Priestess Maraisel who is shrouded in ghostly flames, Mountain Lord Ezerak, Shaylynne who is encircled by ethereal phofe flowers and Dawn's Renewer Allye who is wreathed by ethereal gladiolus blossoms.<br? Obvious exits: northeast, southwest.

Brutish Miscreant Mahe just arrived.

* The earth trembles above. Dust sifts from the rough-hewn ceiling and flickers in the dim light. A soft luminescence pulses from a far wall -- the color of a summer sky at noon. You feel a warmth spread through you. The air smells faintly of ozone and fresh rain. A shimmering image forms in the glowing light -- a colossal hammer, wreathed in golden lightning hangs suspended for a moment, an omen of hope, before it fades.

Allye says, "Oh the vine and stuff..."

* From a nearby tunnel, a grizzled war veteran shuffles slowly backwards, clutching a broadsword in a defensive stance. The polished blade flashes in the light produced by the gouts of flame from an attacking drake. With a guttural cry, he tries to swing his superbly fashioned broadsword, its polished blade flashing in the dim light, but age has stiffened his movements. He weaves, his old joints aching, doing his best to dodge the drake's powerful strikes, His once robust body now trembles with effort, but the fire in his deep grey eyes still burns fiercely. Each parry is a visible strain, a testament to his fading strength, yet he refuses to yield. Emboldened by the faltering warrior, a pack of prismatic drakes follow, closing in on the veteran.

Mountain Lord Ezerak swaggers southeast, leading his group.

Jiol just arrived.

* In a silent acknowledgment of the veteran's need, a second warrior joins the melee, his steel-grey eyes locking onto the charging drakes. He moves with the speed of a man half his age, stepping directly into the beast's path. The veteran, caught unaware, stumbles backward as this second warrior's powerful hand shoves him clear. Without a moment's hesitation, the Barbarian's heavily calloused hands fly to the heavy bastard sword slung across his back. He draws it in a blur of motion, the worn chainmail vest on his broad shoulders rippling with the effort; his long grey hair settling across his shoulders, framing a silver neck chain hung with a snarling wolf. He plants his feet, a mountain of defiance against the scaly threat, ready to face the creatures head-on with nothing but his own strength and steel.

The thorned vine erupts into a writhing mass of grasping tendrils. It seizes Allye from all sides. The sickening crunch of bone and the wet tearing of flesh echo through the dungeon as Allye is ripped limb from limb in a shower of gore, leaving nothing left but mangled meat strewn across the stone floor.

* Allye is slain before your eyes!

You hear the ghostly voice of Allye say, "That hurt, ouch."

You hear the ghostly voice of Allye say, "Did not work."

A low thrum vibrates through the floor, echoing like distant thunder. A deep, resonant bell tolls, though no bell is present. The sound reverberates in your bones, the confident refrain of an inspired resoluteness. A faint, sweet scent of blooming jasmine fills the air, displacing the acrid smell of smoke. A light pressure resembling a gentle touch rests on your arm. A single, perfectly formed rose unfurls on the stone floor, its petals the colors of twilight, before dissolving into shimmering motes of light.

Kethrai touches Maraisel with a confident grace and heartfelt smile.

You follow Ezerak southeast.
[Umbral Shadows, Dove-grey Alcove]
Massive, pale grey stone blocks stacked in irregular patterns shape the walls of this dim chamber.

* An Elven woman, her ginger hair pulled back by a leather and wood band, surveys the chaotic scene with stormy grey eyes. She stands tall, a delicate mug of tea still clutched in her hand, even as the drakes advance menacingly close to the civilians. With a calm authority that belies the danger, she extends a hand. The ground near the attacking drakes begins to tremble and churn. A massive, shambling mound of intertwined roots, mud, and decaying vegetation slowly rises. With a decisive gesture, she directs the grotesque creature. The shambling mound lumbers forward, its vine-like tendrils lashing out, providing a hulking, natural barrier against the airborne threats. Her gaze remains steady, ensuring the monstrous ally protects the vulnerable. She makes a second gesture, and an innumerable swarm of tiny spiders crawl out of their hiding places and begin crawling over the drakes, holding them away from the civilians with a cocoon of sticky webbing.

Shaylynne nods.

The air around you crackles with energy, and you feel the faint taste of copper on your tongue. A fleeting vision of a vast, open plain under a starlit sky comes to your mind -- a lone figure standing tall at the center, holding a brilliant star aloft. The vision vanishes, leaving your attention lingering along subtle shifts in the shadows as they lengthen and deepen around you. A whisper brushes your ear -- a voice not unlike rustling leaves, leaving you with a phrase lasting in your mind -- "We will endure." A pure, clear note sounds, as if the product of a single crystal bell, resonating through the very stones. A profound serenity settles momentarily through the area.

* A Rakash woman joins the fray, her thick black braid swinging as she moves. Despite the kindness in her soft, dark eyes and the laugh-lines beside her mouth, a jagged scar along her jaw hints at past battles. She wears a fitted grey silk tunic and white trousers; her doeskin boots buckled with polished silver wolf heads. Without hesitation, she draws a fine longsword from its slender sheath at her side. She does not hold back -- the Paladin moves with a fierce determination; the silver shield engraved with a roaring lion's face rises as she advances to protect the innocent.

>l sarc Carved from a single massive block of grey granite this sarcophagus rests heavily upon the tunnel floor. Its surfaces are adorned with deeply incised carvings depicting robed figures in various states of ritual and mourning though the details have been softened by the passage of countless years.

Casari narrows her eyes.

Shaylynne asks, "Is anything we're doing working?"

A gentle ripple passes through the very air. You hear the faint sound of distant, breaking waves. The smell of salt water, fresh and clean, wafts through the shelter. A single, smooth, blue-green pebble rolls across the floor and stops at your feet.

The blue and white helix continues to swirl around Ezerak. Wounds and minute imperfections along his body begin to fade in a brilliant supernatural display!

Allye says, "Can't stay too close to the vine and stain."

Allye says, "I don't think the pushing was helping."

[Umbral Shadows, Dove-grey Alcove]
Massive, pale grey stone blocks stacked in irregular patterns shape the walls of this dim chamber. Their uneven sizes and forms create a chaotic, almost primal aesthetic, amplified by the flickering light of the few torches mounted on the walls. In the corners where the towering walls meet the polished floor, shadows linger, thick and impenetrable. Suspended from the ceiling is a long pennon decorated with a leaping dolphin.
Also here: High Priestess Maraisel who is shrouded in ghostly flames, Firehawk Casari and Mountain Lord Ezerak.

[Umbral Shadows, Cloud-grey Alcove])
Shadows drape the chamber like a living presence, seeming to seep from the thick stone walls and gather on the smooth stone floor. The stone blocks of the walls and ceiling are so perfectly joined that not a single hair could find its way into the seamless, mortarless joints. Several torches set in dark iron sconces cast flickering light, their light feeble against the encroaching darkness. A thick wool carpet worked with a design of a seated cat covers the center of the chamber. You also see a stone archway.
Also here: Firehawk Casari, High Priestess Maraisel who is shrouded in ghostly flames and Mountain Lord Ezerak.
Obvious exits: southeast, northwest.

* Joining the fray, a third figure advances on the drakes, his massive frame radiating raw power, fixes his dark, mysterious eyes on the approaching pack of drakes. He grips his broadsword tightly, its presence a stark contrast to the arcane energy now thrumming around him. With a powerful, guttural command, the very earth at his feet begins to churn and rise. A churning pool of molten lava erupts from the ground and geysers into the swarm of drakes, suddenly solidifying and chilling with jagged spears of ice. His eyes, mirroring the intensity of a hunting hawk, narrow further. With a final, forceful gesture, the stone and ice explodes and reforms, creating a temporary barrier against the relentless assault.

Ayrell takes a deep breath.

Ezerak says, "Nothing we do to them seems to help."

[Umbral Shadows, Slate-grey Alcove]
Flickering torches cast a restless light, barely pushing back the shadows that cling stubbornly to the massive stone blocks of the walls. Despite the tomb-like atmosphere, the room is surprisingly pristine, devoid of the dust and cobwebs normally expected deserted chambers such as this. Only rarely does a bare hint of a breeze pass through, carrying the faintest scent of smoke and resin. Hanging on one wall is a wool tapestry of a maned lion standing on an upthrust rock. You also see the heraldic unit.
Also here: High Priestess Maraisel who is shrouded in ghostly flames, Firehawk Casari, Mountain Lord Ezerak, Unicorn Enthusiast Chanepheous, Healer Leilanie, Warrior Poet Ticrit, Scarred Savior Penderrin, the body of Uthaldur who is lying down and the body of Exorcist Taysin who is lying down.

>l vine
A single black vine, a whole hand thick, pushes its way out of a fissure in the dungeon wall. It is covered in wicked-looking thorns that curve and twist. The vine is dry and appears lifeless, its surface cracked and peeling. A faint coppery smell hangs in the air around it.

A feeling of lightness washes over you. A faint, joyful melody, like laughter carried on the wind, seems to emanate from the walls. The oppressive weight of the siege lifts, if only for a moment. You see a single, vibrant green vine sprout from a crack in the ceiling, bearing a small, perfect berry.

* An Elven woman with fiery red hair and gentle eyes moves swiftly but calmly through the panicked crowd. She guides the children and families with a soft touch, her calloused hands, stained faintly with ink, ushering them from the hidden passage. A small smile serves as a beacon of reassurance amidst the fear. Families follow her directions, drawn by the quiet authority in her demeanor. As they enter the safety of the area, she begins to sing. Her voice, clear and resonant, weaves a melody that seems to shimmer in the air, a magical calm settling over everyone who hears it. The song wraps around them, a soft, invisible shield against the terror outside, instilling a profound sense of peace and security. From her song, you feel a balming warmth surround you.

* A Human woman with her long raven-wing hair and disturbing violet eyes moves among the wounded. Despite the personal anguish those eyes hold, a humor dances within them, and a light smile often touches her lips, deepening the lines in her face. She wears robes of tasteful pearl-grey silk, and her hands, reaching out to those in pain, move with purpose. These hands, despite their delicate appearance, are the tools of her craft.

* As she places them gently on a wounded combatant's broken arm, a faint, soothing light emanates from her golden earring displaying glowing hands clasping a small night-blue sapphire. His grimace softens, and his ragged breaths ease. She moves to another, then another, drawing the pain into herself and letting a calming presence radiate outward. Though a wave of sadness occasionally crosses her face, her eyes growing distant as if searching for something lost, she continues her tireless work, her touch bringing a profound sense of relief to each person she helps.

[Umbral Shadows, Cloud-grey Alcove]
Shadows drape the chamber like a living presence, seeming to seep from the thick stone walls and gather on the smooth stone floor.

* A man dressed in elegant, pleated trousers and a matching dress coat, immaculate from head to toe, leads a caravan of food and supplies through a hidden tunnel. An elderly Human with thinning grey hair and milky blue eyes follows closely, wearing a long blue robe embroidered with silver snowflakes. He nervously fingers a large ruby ring as he helps direct people past the laden carts. Behind them, a working-class merchant with a cheerful expression and crystal blue eyes that twinkle with sincerity, moves among the supplies. Two black-hilted daggers prominently feature at his waist, but his disarming smile eases any concern. He meticulously organizes goods for distribution, ensuring everything is accessible. Finally, a tall Kaldaran Trader with a square-jawed face and stormy grey eyes invites the crowd over to the caravan, and begins handing out food to the refugees.

Ruea saunters northeast.

Ezerak says, "Shove the sarcophagi open."

A loud grating sound echoes in the tunnel as Casari strains to push a sarcophagus lid to open it.

A surge of unwavering courage fills you. You feel a deep, steady strength in your limbs. The air grows still and clear. You see a brilliant, shimmering sword briefly appear, suspended in the air, its blade reflecting a pure, blinding light, before it vanishes.

Malkien gives the sarcophagus lid a mighty push.

Ayrell gives the sarcophagus lid a mighty push.

You give the lid of the sarcophagus a mighty push. The stone scrapes slightly as it gives some purchase.

* Marshaling a Zoluren company to fight back the drakes, a Human noble leads the charge, his angular face set with grim determination. His viridian eyes, sharp and commanding, scan the chaotic battlefield as he draws a gleaming weapon from his polished leather belt. Dressed in a frost-white jacquard long coat, he points forward with authority, his voice cutting through the din of battle, urging the regiment onward.

Ayrell shoves hard against a sarcophagus, dislodging the lid. Nothing of value is contained within, but perhaps something may be notable inside another.

You put your shoulder into the effort and push. Dust trickles from the seam of the sarcophagus lid, and it lifts, before sliding out of place, revealing nothing but bone fragments and scraps of cloth within.

Lelly just arrived.

Lelly goes southeast.

* To his side, an aging Human with long russet hair and a scarred face raises his heavy steel heraldic shield. His hazel eyes, unwavering, take in the approaching drakes. The burnished steel plate he wears gleams, reflecting the harsh light from the breath of the advancing creatures. He moves with a powerful grace, a beacon of resolute strength for the soldiers following his lead. Together, these two men, one regal and commanding, the other a scarred veteran, drive their regiment forward, a formidable front that holds back much of the Heraldic regiment.

Kethrai asks, "Who was that?"

Perune just arrived.

A profound sense of interconnection with the natural world fills you. You feel the pulse of life all around, even in this confined space. A tiny, green shoot pushes its way up through a crack in the concrete floor, unfurling a single perfect leaf.

Kethrai quirks one ear sideways in confusion.

Maraisel grabs your arm and drags you southeast with her . . .
[Umbral Shadows, Dove-grey Alcove]
Massive, pale grey stone blocks stacked in irregular patterns shape the walls of this dim chamber. Their uneven sizes and forms create a chaotic, almost primal aesthetic, amplified by the flickering light of the few torches mounted on the walls. In the corners where the towering walls meet the polished floor, shadows linger, thick and impenetrable. Suspended from the ceiling is a long pennon decorated with a leaping dolphin. <br? Also here: High Priestess Maraisel who is shrouded in ghostly flames.

Maraisel joins Ayrell's group.

You go southeast, leading your group.
[Umbral Shadows, Cloud-grey Alcove]
Shadows drape the chamber like a living presence, seeming to seep from the thick stone walls and gather on the smooth stone floor. The stone blocks of the walls and ceiling are so perfectly joined that not a single hair could find its way into the seamless, mortarless joints. Several torches set in dark iron sconces cast flickering light, their light feeble against the encroaching darkness. A thick wool carpet worked with a design of a seated cat covers the center of the chamber. You also see a stone archway.
Also here: High Priestess Maraisel who is shrouded in ghostly flames, Healer Leilanie and Transient Thires who is surrounded by a colorful cloud of glitter.

You go southeast, leading your group.
[Umbral Shadows, Slate-grey Alcove]
Flickering torches cast a restless light, barely pushing back the shadows that cling stubbornly to the massive stone blocks of the walls. Despite the tomb-like atmosphere, the room is surprisingly pristine, devoid of the dust and cobwebs normally expected deserted chambers such as this. Only rarely does a bare hint of a breeze pass through, carrying the faintest scent of smoke and resin. Hanging on one wall is a wool tapestry of a maned lion standing on an upthrust rock. You also see the heraldic unit, a grey leopard with red-speckled fur redolent of embers fading into the night that is sitting, an immaculate drake which appears dead, an immaculate drake which appears dead and a pristine drake which appears dead.
Also here: High Priestess Maraisel who is shrouded in ghostly flames, Archwizard Seihjin who has a stony visage and Alestair.
Obvious exits: east, northwest.

Guttering torches cast an unsteady light, barely holding back the tenacious shadows that cling to the enormous stone blocks of the walls. Now and then, a faint breeze drifts through, carrying the subtle scent of smoke and resin. Despite its deserted feel, the chamber is clean, free of the dust and cobwebs typically found in abandoned spaces. A lumbering ox is inlaid in obsidian into the lighter grey stone floor. You also see some orderly rows of stone sarcophagi lining the tunnel walls.
Also here: High Priestess Maraisel who is shrouded in ghostly flames, a calmed Wanderer Beakar, Naturamancer Sarugar, Soul Surgeon Zynell who is emanating a bright holy aura, Veteran Apprentice Anuril who has a fiery visage, Heart Tender Kethrai, Mountain Lord Ezerak and Firehawk Casari.

Cleric Only Vision:(Repeat from earlier)
* Your vision fades. A celestial hum fills your senses, a low thrum that vibrates through your very bones. Before you, a tapestry of starlight begins to shimmer, coalescing into a door with four locks -- each, in a peculiar shape, as if unlocked not by a key, but by the presence of an item. Your vision returns to normal, leaving you with the distinct impression that the Gods will need you to prepare to make an offering.

[General] Your mind hears Avrenka thinking, "There's statues in each room, missing a moonstone or starstone or some other precious gem"

Lelly just arrived.

You go northeast, leading your group.
[Umbral Shadows, Stone-grey Alcove]
The chamber is bathed in deep shadows that seem to seep from the thick stone walls and gather on the rough stone floor. An occasional waft of smoke carries the scent of flames through the otherwise still air. A few sputtering torches, mounted in wrought iron sconces, cast feeble flames that barely hold back the encroaching darkness. A stalking panther covers the hanging banner suspended from the ceiling.
Also here: High Priestess Maraisel who is shrouded in ghostly flames.

The thorned vine twitches violently in your direction. You leap back just as it whips through the space where you were standing.

* Large webs of jagged cracks of light flash along the stone walls of this sanctum for a moment, as if the wards of this place were being struck and were beginning to fail. Your eye falls upon twisting vines that rapidly poke through gaps in the mortar, as if something was using rapid entangling growth to force entry into this place.

You go northeast, leading your group.

Despite the tomb-like atmosphere, the room remains remarkably pristine, free of the dust and cobwebs that often fill abandoned spaces. Occasionally, a faint breeze stirs, carrying a whisper of smoke and resin.

A white unicorn stands among grey rocks on the plush wool rug covering the stone floor. You also see a corbelled archway.
Also here: High Priestess Maraisel who is shrouded in ghostly flames, Faebound Kresnik, Dawn's Renewer Allye who is wreathed by ethereal gladiolus blossoms, the body of Malice Inouvu who is lying down, Unicorn Enthusiast Chanepheous, Vesper Jaelia who is emanating a benevolent holy aura and Shaylynne who is encircled by ethereal phofe flowers.

Allye says, "We're trying to get into the arches while avoiding the vines and stains."

You hear the ghostly voice of Inouvu say, "Oh, where to begin."

[General] Your mind hears Gwenddolyn thinking, "about the gems in the obelisks of old, that might be the answer"

Cleric Only Vision:(Repeat from earlier)
* Your vision fades. You see a sleek, obsidian panther, its muscles rippling with silent power. It moves through a perpetual twilight, its eyes twin points of starlight, reflecting unknown constellations. The panther pauses before an intricately locked mechanism, not a physical lock, but a knot of pure energy, shimmering and shifting. With an almost imperceptible movement, the panther extends a single, impossibly slender claw of solidified starlight, and it phases through the complex energies of the lock, twisting and turning with a silent precision that only a master could achieve. The lock shimmers, then dissolves, not breaking, but simply opening, revealing a path beyond. Your vision returns to normal.

Kresnik is apparently wrestling with a corbelled archway.

A loud grating sound echoes in the tunnel as Zynell strains to push a sarcophagus lid to open it.

Naturamancer Sarugar just arrived.

>l sarc
Carved from a single massive block of grey granite this sarcophagus rests heavily upon the tunnel floor. Its surfaces are adorned with deeply incised carvings depicting robed figures in various states of ritual and mourning though the details have been softened by the passage of countless years. The heavy lid is a solid slab of stone fit perfectly to the base leaving only a hairline seam to mark its edge. Patches of ancient dust and grime cling to the weathered stone.
There appears to be something written on it.

Ayrell pushes against a sarcophagus lid but it refuses to move.

You push against the heavy stone lid of a sarcophagus with all your might but it doesn't budge. It seems sealed by its immense weight.

Faebound Kresnik pads southeast.

Cleric Only Vision: (Repeat from earlier)
* Your vision fades. You stand on a windswept, desolate plain beneath a sky heavy with swirling mists. Before you, a jagged, grey runestone, ancient and weather-beaten, rises from the earth. Its surface is alive with glowing glyphs, pulsing with a faint, internal light. A magnificent wolf, its fur the color of moonlit snow, emerges from the mists. It approaches the runestone, its eyes burning with an otherworldly intelligence. The wolf places a paw upon the stone, and a low, resonant hum emanates from it, vibrations that echo deep within your chest. The glyphs on the stone flare brighter, and the air crackles with unseen energies, a sense of ancient knowledge awakening. Your vision returns to normal.

* Gargantuan webs of jagged cracks of light flash along the stone walls of this sanctum for a moment, as if the wards of this place were being struck and were beginning to fail. Your eye falls upon twisting vines that force their way through gaps in the mortar, dislodging small stones from the walls as if something was using rapid entangling growth to force entry into this place.

Kethrai says, "Zynell, have to move."

Cleric Only Vision: (Repeat from earlier)
* Your vision fades. You see yourself standing in a verdant, enclosed garden, overflowing with lush, unfamiliar herbs. The air is thick with the scent of life and renewal. An alchemist's hands, gnarled but gentle, move with practiced grace among the plants, plucking glowing leaves and shimmering blossoms. You watch as these ingredients are placed into a crystal alembic, where they begin to dissolve into a swirling, opalescent liquid. The alchemist stirs the concoction with a delicate glass rod, and as they do, the liquid begins to pulse with a gentle, healing light. Your vision returns to normal.

Cleric Only Vision: (Repeat from earlier)
* Your vision fades. You see yourself standing in a stark, almost featureless void. From the depths of this nothingness, a dagger materializes before you. It is simple in design, unadorned, but its blade gleams with an almost terrifying sharpness, reflecting no light, but absorbing it. It seems to hum with an unyielding purpose. You feel an undeniable sense of finality emanating from it, not of despair, but of ultimate resolution, allowing a new beginning to emerge from the silence. Your vision returns to normal.

A loud grating sound echoes in the tunnel as Maraisel strains to push a sarcophagus lid to open it.

Jaelia asks, "Is your sister coming or do you want a raise?"

[Umbral Shadows, Argent Alcove]
Deep shadows permeate the area, appearing to ooze from the thick stone walls and coalesce along the polished grey stone floor. Although a few guttering torches are set into the dark iron holders, their flicking flames do little to beat back the encroaching shadows. Each block forming the walls and ceiling is so expertly fitted to its neighbor that not even a hair could be inserted into the mortarless joints. Centered in the middle of the floor is an intricate mosaic of a raven in flight, the tiny tesserae forming the feathers crafted from long slivers of jet and obsidian. You also see some orderly rows of stone sarcophagi lining the tunnel walls.

The storm-grey lynx begins to watch the goings on carefully.

* Vines now have dislodged the stone of these hallowed halls, expanding to fill the area and make their way slowly toward you, threatening to choke off the regiments, and you, before you can aid the Gods in battle.

[Umbral Shadows, Ashen Alcove]
Fitful light from flickering torches does nothing to beat back the lurking shadows that cling to the massive blocks of the stone walls. Although the corners are gloomy and dim, they are free of the dust and cobwebs that usually accompany sepulchral rooms such as this. Hanging from the overhead stone ceiling is a dark grey banner worked on both sides with a running wolf in lighter grey patchwork. You also see a rounded archway.
Also here: High Priestess Maraisel who is shrouded in ghostly flames and Firehawk Casari.
Obvious exits: southeast, west.

[Umbral Shadows, Steel-grey Alcove]
Massive blocks of metallic-hued stone rise in irregular courses and form the walls of this shadowy chamber. The variable size and shapes of the blocks add to the non-uniform character, which is enhanced by the wavering light shed by the few torches on the walls. Darkness lurks in the corners where the cyclopean walls meet the polished floor. Suspended from the ceiling is a dark brown pennant displaying a rampant boar in full charge. You also see a smokey grey leopard with hypnotic crimson eyes and flecks of ashes on her fur that is sitting.
Also here: Firehawk Casari, High Priestess Maraisel who is shrouded in ghostly flames, Faebound Kresnik, Valiant Vaddon, Sothios who is shrouded in shifting shadows, Soul Surgeon Zynell who is emanating a bright holy aura, Taenara, Valta Varna Mistanna who is being harassed by an intrigue of phantasmal kittens, the body of Watcher Margeaux who is lying down, the body of Acolyte Jasmania who is lying down, the body of Java Jumper Ysindre who is lying down, the body of Exsanguinator Jopler who is lying down, Sister Ardeyllu who is shrouded in ghostly flames, Comedian Rozalynde, Voodoo Priestess Hiidie, Empath Emeritus Leayne, Doctor Ariefyre, Citizen Miraeven who is shrouded in ghostly flames, Emily, Critter of Glitter Kivian who is enveloped in a cloud of iridescent glitter and Primal Lady Zalinyar.

[Umbral Shadows, Smoke-grey Alcove]
Ponderous walls, the shade of smoke rising from a campfire, are constructed with such precision that the blocks fit seamlessly together, leaving no gap wide enough for even a hair to slip through. The area is cloaked in deep shadows, seeming to seep from the thick stone walls and pool across the flagstone floor. A few sputtering torches, set in wrought iron sconces, cast flickering flames that barely hold the advancing darkness at bay. Hanging on one wall is a monochrome tapestry of a hooded cobra, worked in shades of grey. You also see the heraldic unit and some orderly rows of stone sarcophagi lining the tunnel walls.

[Umbral Shadows, Granite-grey Alcove]
Though the floor and corners are shrouded in shadows, they remain remarkably clean, devoid of the dust and cobwebs that usually congregate in out-of-the-way places. The faint scent of woodsmoke wafts from the resin-covered torches set into brass holders along the masonry walls crafted from colossal blocks of grey granite stone. Brass inlay in the shape of a majestic ram covers much of the floor, the bright metal flickering in the torchlight. You also see the heraldic unit.

[Umbral Shadows, Charcoal Alcove]
Gigantic blocks of dark grey stone rise in irregular courses, forming the walls of this shadowy chamber. Their varied sizes and shapes create an uneven, almost chaotic feel to the architecture, further emphasized by the unsteady glow of the few torches mounted on the walls. In the corners where the towering walls meet the polished floor, darkness gathers, thick and foreboding. High overhead, a plain pennant sways slightly in the passing breeze, a design of a stylized wren on both sides. You also see the heraldic unit, the heraldic unit and an oval archway.

[Umbral Shadows, Argent Alcove]
Deep shadows permeate the area, appearing to ooze from the thick stone walls and coalesce along the polished grey stone floor. Although a few guttering torches are set into the dark iron holders, their flicking flames do little to beat back the encroaching shadows. Each block forming the walls and ceiling is so expertly fitted to its neighbor that not even a hair could be inserted into the mortarless joints. Centered in the middle of the floor is an intricate mosaic of a raven in flight, the tiny tesserae forming the feathers crafted from long slivers of jet and obsidian. You also see some orderly rows of stone sarcophagi lining the tunnel walls.

[Umbral Shadows, Fog-grey Alcove]
Despite the tomb-like atmosphere, the room remains remarkably pristine, free of the dust and cobwebs that often fill abandoned spaces. Occasionally, a faint breeze stirs, carrying a whisper of smoke and resin. Flickering torches cast an uneasy light, barely able to push back the shadows that cling persistently to the massive stone blocks of the walls. A white unicorn stands among grey rocks on the plush wool rug covering the stone floor. You also see a corbelled archway.

[Umbral Shadows, Stone-grey Alcove]
The chamber is bathed in deep shadows that seem to seep from the thick stone walls and gather on the rough stone floor. An occasional waft of smoke carries the scent of flames through the otherwise still air. A few sputtering torches, mounted in wrought iron sconces, cast feeble flames that barely hold back the encroaching darkness. A stalking panther covers the hanging banner suspended from the ceiling.

[Umbral Shadows, Dove-grey Alcove]
Massive, pale grey stone blocks stacked in irregular patterns shape the walls of this dim chamber. Their uneven sizes and forms create a chaotic, almost primal aesthetic, amplified by the flickering light of the few torches mounted on the walls. In the corners where the towering walls meet the polished floor, shadows linger, thick and impenetrable. Suspended from the ceiling is a long pennon decorated with a leaping dolphin. You also see a full-grown wolf that is sitting.

Shadows drape the chamber like a living presence, seeming to seep from the thick stone walls and gather on the smooth stone floor. The stone blocks of the walls and ceiling are so perfectly joined that not a single hair could find its way into the seamless, mortarless joints. Several torches set in dark iron sconces cast flickering light, their light feeble against the encroaching darkness. A thick wool carpet worked with a design of a seated cat covers the center of the chamber. You also see a stone archway.

Flickering torches cast a restless light, barely pushing back the shadows that cling stubbornly to the massive stone blocks of the walls. Despite the tomb-like atmosphere, the room is surprisingly pristine, devoid of the dust and cobwebs normally expected deserted chambers such as this. Only rarely does a bare hint of a breeze pass through, carrying the faintest scent of smoke and resin. Hanging on one wall is a wool tapestry of a maned lion standing on an upthrust rock. You also see the heraldic unit and a smokey grey leopard with hypnotic crimson eyes and flecks of ashes on her fur that is sitting.

[Umbral Shadows, Storm-grey Alcove]
Deep shadows fill the chamber, seeping from the thick stone walls and pooling across the polished grey floor. A handful of sputtering torches, fixed in brass sconces, cast wavering flames that barely hold the advancing darkness at bay. The stone blocks forming the walls and ceiling are joined with such flawless precision that not even a hair could slip between their mortarless seams. Set into the floor is a monochrome mosaic of a scorpion worked in shades of grey. You also see the heraldic squad, a translucent magenta sphere, a cloud of black mist, a red-eyed temple monkey, an oily tanned peccary, a pristine drake which appears dead, a pristine drake which appears dead, a pristine drake which appears dead, a pristine drake which appears dead, a pristine drake which appears dead, a pristine drake which appears dead, an immaculate drake that is lying down, an immaculate drake which appears dead, an immaculate drake which appears dead, a pristine drake that is lying down, an immaculate drake that appears stunned, an immaculate drake that is lying down, an immaculate drake, an immaculate drake that is lying down, a pristine drake, a pristine drake, a pristine drake that is sleeping, an immaculate drake, a pristine drake which appears dead, a pristine drake that is sleeping, an immaculate drake which appears dead, a fiery fissure, a gaping rift of swirling crystal blue luminescence, some orderly rows of stone sarcophagi lining the tunnel walls and an embroidery needle.

Ponderous walls, the shade of smoke rising from a campfire, are constructed with such precision that the blocks fit seamlessly together, leaving no gap wide enough for even a hair to slip through. The area is cloaked in deep shadows, seeming to seep from the thick stone walls and pool across the flagstone floor. A few sputtering torches, set in wrought iron sconces, cast flickering flames that barely hold the advancing darkness at bay.

[Umbral Shadows, Steel-grey Alcove]
Massive blocks of metallic-hued stone rise in irregular courses and form the walls of this shadowy chamber. The variable size and shapes of the blocks add to the non-uniform character, which is enhanced by the wavering light shed by the few torches on the walls. Darkness lurks in the corners where the cyclopean walls meet the polished floor. Suspended from the ceiling is a dark brown pennant displaying a rampant boar in full charge. You also see a swaying plant dancing to a melody only heard by the vela'tohr.

[Umbral Shadows, Smoke-grey Alcove]
Ponderous walls, the shade of smoke rising from a campfire, are constructed with such precision that the blocks fit seamlessly together, leaving no gap wide enough for even a hair to slip through. The area is cloaked in deep shadows, seeming to seep from the thick stone walls and pool across the flagstone floor. A few sputtering torches, set in wrought iron sconces, cast flickering flames that barely hold the advancing darkness at bay. Hanging on one wall is a monochrome tapestry of a hooded cobra, worked in shades of grey. You also see a shimmering magenta sphere, a triangular blue Moongate frozen in glassy stillness, a cloud of black mist, the heraldic unit, an enormous fiery fissure, a red-eyed temple monkey, an oily tanned peccary, a smokey grey leopard with hypnotic crimson eyes and flecks of ashes on her fur that is sitting and some orderly rows of stone sarcophagi lining the tunnel walls.

* From alongside the Zoluren regiment, Agonar snarls, "Tiv, begin the prisoners' gambit!" A gaping rift of rippling crystal blue luminescence rips through the air in front of you, followed by a sudden blast of frigid wind. The group standing with the caravan ushers the frightened civilians through to safety. With the rift sealing behind them, a second rift rapidly forms in its wake. In a moment of unspoken coordination, the combatants that had led the charge to protect the civilians break from the melee, leaving the regiment to battle the drakes. At their head, the grey-haired Barbarian confidently grins, and leads the handful of heroes through the dwindling rift. As they disappear and the rift seals, you catch a glimpse of an endless expanse of nothingness filled with rows of innumerable bodies.

You follow Ezerak northwest.
[Umbral Shadows, Steel-grey Alcove]
Massive blocks of metallic-hued stone rise in irregular courses and form the walls of this shadowy chamber. The variable size and shapes of the blocks add to the non-uniform character, which is enhanced by the wavering light shed by the few torches on the walls. Darkness lurks in the corners where the cyclopean walls meet the polished floor. Suspended from the ceiling is a dark brown pennant displaying a rampant boar in full charge. You also see a swaying plant dancing to a melody only heard by the vela'tohr.
Also here: Mountain Lord Ezerak, Firehawk Casari, Shaylynne who is encircled by ethereal phofe flowers, Dawn's Renewer Allye who is wreathed by ethereal gladiolus blossoms, High Priestess Maraisel who is shrouded in ghostly flames, Pytcia, Jibara, Lennalar and Taenara.

[Umbral Shadows, Ashen Alcove]
Fitful light from flickering torches does nothing to beat back the lurking shadows that cling to the massive blocks of the stone walls. Although the corners are gloomy and dim, they are free of the dust and cobwebs that usually accompany sepulchral rooms such as this. Hanging from the overhead stone ceiling is a dark grey banner worked on both sides with a running wolf in lighter grey patchwork. You also see a rounded archway.

Ezerak nods.

Gestalt Terlockin just arrived.

You follow Ezerak west.
[Umbral Shadows, Argent Alcove]
Deep shadows permeate the area, appearing to ooze from the thick stone walls and coalesce along the polished grey stone floor. Although a few guttering torches are set into the dark iron holders, their flicking flames do little to beat back the encroaching shadows. Each block forming the walls and ceiling is so expertly fitted to its neighbor that not even a hair could be inserted into the mortarless joints. Centered in the middle of the floor is an intricate mosaic of a raven in flight, the tiny tesserae forming the feathers crafted from long slivers of jet and obsidian. You also see some orderly rows of stone sarcophagi lining the tunnel walls.
Also here: Firehawk Casari, High Priestess Maraisel who is shrouded in ghostly flames, Naturamancer Sarugar, Mountain Lord Ezerak and Jailbroken Navesi.

[Umbral Shadows, Fog-grey Alcove]
Despite the tomb-like atmosphere, the room remains remarkably pristine, free of the dust and cobwebs that often fill abandoned spaces. Occasionally, a faint breeze stirs, carrying a whisper of smoke and resin. Flickering torches cast an uneasy light, barely able to push back the shadows that cling persistently to the massive stone blocks of the walls. A white unicorn stands among grey rocks on the plush wool rug covering the stone floor. You also see some jadice flowers and a corbelled archway.

[Umbral Shadows, Axis]
Dark grey flagstones cover the floor, their irregular shapes adding a bit of interest to the otherwise plain stone walls and ceiling of this section of the larger area. A corbelled archway leads away from this corner to the outer ring of chambers dedicated to the Immortals.

[Umbral Shadows, Stone-grey Alcove]
The chamber is bathed in deep shadows that seem to seep from the thick stone walls and gather on the rough stone floor. An occasional waft of smoke carries the scent of flames through the otherwise still air. A few sputtering torches, mounted in wrought iron sconces, cast feeble flames that barely hold back the encroaching darkness. A stalking panther covers the hanging banner suspended from the ceiling.

Massive, pale grey stone blocks stacked in irregular patterns shape the walls of this dim chamber.

* The bearded man reaches into the folds of His cloak, not for ordinary steel, but for weapons forged of pure, shimmering light -- and with a gesture, they disappear. He nods to another nearby God cloaked in a raiment of stars. This third figure, Damaris, concentrates. Each of the blades of light dulls into the pattern of a constellation, and with a gesture, He guides them through the air to each of the other Gods. The thirty-nine figures each shift their existing weapons to one hand, and lift the other, open, to the sky and toward the Heralds -- and thirty-nine golden weapons stand tall in defiance, radiating points of light, constellations radiating along their length.

Combat Against the Drakes

(Note: Combat in this section is drastically truncated for log efficiency, but much was left in to retain the overall feel of the event.)

[Celestial Expanse, Periphery]
You stand at the rim of a wide circular platform, composed of a gleaming golden light, and perfectly featureless. Harsh icy winds whip all around, and far, far below the expanse of Elanthia affords a brilliant view. Mountains and forests, bays and the shimmering ocean, familiar landmarks, cities and townships. From the center of the platform a bizarre tree-like form writhes. Above, a thunderous battle wages -- drakes scream, light and shadow tear at one another, the Heralds and the Immortals tear at one another, and the stars bleed askew. You also see the heraldic unit.
Also here: Lady of the Watch Dantia, Forest Watcher Damoone, Gestalt Terlockin who is protected by a glowing crimson barrier, Dawn's Renewer Allye who is wreathed by ethereal gladiolus blossoms, Shaylynne who is encircled by ethereal phofe flowers, Bibliomancer Adelbrand, Walking Armory Malkien, Perune who is surrounded by seven circling blades of ice, Elemental Juggernaut Efrate who is surrounded by a shimmering shield, Roughneck Rileos, Heart Tender Kethrai, Veteran Apprentice Anuril who has a fiery visage, Bookkeeper Parkons, Fearless Crobin, Mountain Lord Ezerak and Shield of Starlight Betlind.

Saving the World - The Fall of the Heralds (Act 3)

* The three immense Heralds hovering above draw on their unbridled power, simultaneously unleashing their purest mana energy into the skies. A shimmering, iridescent haze bursts from their forms, converging into a single, overwhelming torrent of raw magical force. This collective outpouring of divine essence forms an ethereal maelstrom, a hurricane of pure mana that begins to spin with terrifying velocity and brilliance. The overwhelming pressure of this manastorm immediately begins to stress the very fabric of reality surrounding the platform, causing the space itself to waver, shimmer, and threaten to tear apart under the impossible strain.

You follow Betlind northeast.
[Celestial Expanse, Periphery]
You stand at the rim of a wide circular platform, composed of a gleaming golden light, and perfectly featureless. Harsh icy winds whip all around, and far, far below the expanse of Elanthia affords a brilliant view. Mountains and forests, bays and the shimmering ocean, familiar landmarks, cities and townships. From the center of the platform a bizarre tree-like form writhes. Above, a thunderous battle wages -- drakes scream, light and shadow tear at one another, the Heralds and the Immortals tear at one another, and the stars bleed askew. You also see the heraldic company and the heraldic unit.
Also here: Perune who is surrounded by seven circling blades of ice, Walking Armory Malkien, Shaylynne who is encircled by ethereal phofe flowers, Forest Watcher Damoone, Lady of the Watch Dantia, Admoos who is protected by a glowing crimson barrier, Stellar Statistician Urbaj who is blurred by hazy afterimages, Raven Queen Chelinde, Forging Legend Sozinho, Bastion of Life Karthor, Strawberry Nurse Illiya, Fearless Crobin, Bloodgeon, Mountain Lord Ezerak, Roughneck Rileos, Firehawk Casari is surrounded by an elemental maelstrom, Soul Surgeon Zynell who is emanating a bright holy aura, Shield of Starlight Betlind, World Killer Binu who has a stony visage, Hunter Hanryu, Entangled Cote trailed by a swirling procession of pale prismatic leaves and a stunned Ale Beard Rhadyn who is lying down.

Shaylynne says, "Ee."

Stargazer Zemfreed just arrived.

* Elide's pale silver eyes, with their bright blue pupils, fix on the Gods, a cold rage barely contained within Her beautiful features as She steadily closes the distance. Each rotation of Her advance brings Her closer to striking, Her blade circling slowly but with purpose.

Xenoseal leans on Rhainn.

[Celestial Expanse, Periphery]
You stand at the rim of a wide circular platform, composed of a gleaming golden light, and perfectly featureless. Harsh icy winds whip all around, and far, far below the expanse of Elanthia affords a brilliant view. Mountains and forests, bays and the shimmering ocean, familiar landmarks, cities and townships. From the center of the platform a bizarre tree-like form writhes. Above, a thunderous battle wages -- drakes scream, light and shadow tear at one another, the Heralds and the Immortals tear at one another, and the stars bleed askew. You also see an icy snowball.

[Trade] Your mind hears Kethrai thinking, "This is a hell of a time for advertising!"

Betlind says, "Oh, my banner is still there to the southeast."

Betlind points southeast.

Betlind says, "But I think it's fine now."

[General] Your mind hears Echosong thinking, "Is there safe triage in the rift now?"

Iresi just arrived, leading his group.

Betlind rubs her nose.

* Rutilor charges forward to meet the landing Heralds, His stoic face revealing grim determination. In one hand, he wields His constellation blade, its radiant light flashing -- and in the other, His own. He leaps through the air toward Issendar, an ethereal hound that flashes to match the blade. Matching the charge, Asketi moves forward with Her own blade with the speed of a striking adder. Issendar easily parries Rutilor's strike, retorting with a calculated riposte that sends both Rutilor and Asketi to the ground with a swift, decisive gesture.

Karthor says in a Haakish accent, "It fits right in with the "landscape"."

Illiya grins at Betlind, her dimples flashing into view.

Betlind giggles at Karthor.

Betlind nods emphatically at Karthor.

Betlind exclaims, "Rutilor!"

Leilanie asks, "Is everyone healthy?"

[Trade] Your mind hears Toriannla thinking, "Never let a good crisis go to waste...."

Rhainn gets an impish expression on her face, and lets out a hearty cheer.

Leilanie smiles at Rozalynde.

Forest Watcher Damoone just arrived.

Leilanie says, "I understand completely."

Sothios snuggles up to Leilanie.

* Issendar prepares a decisive blow against the fallen Rutilor. Truffenyi moves forward, His powerful figure imposing Himself in front of the blade. He lifts a shield to block the blow, the weight of the strike sending Truffenyi to His knees. His sword hand thrusts the golden blade in a counter, and the constellation blade flares to life, forming a pillar of light that grazes Issendar's side. Issendar steps back, sweeping the blade in a second measured strike that cleaves Truffenyi's shield in half and sends Truffenyi cascading to the floor, the ox braying in pain.

Leilanie pulls Sothios to her in a tight hug.

Bloodgeon lingers too close to the starlight sliver. It looks dangerous.

Xenoseal asks, "Did anyone bring snacks?"

Allye ponders.

Rhainn pokes Xenoseal in the ribs.

Rozalynde says, "Yes. Yes I did."

Allye pulls a cream silk picnic cloth with impressive gold embroidery out of a picnic basket, setting her basket aside as as she shakes out the cloth and lays it out upon the ground.

You notice Taenara trying to remain hidden while speaking.
You hear the voice of Taenara ask in an Ilithic accent, "I was a snack for a drake, does that count?"

* Unaka steps forward, the golden halo about her head brilliantly coming to life. Issendar follows through with an attempt at a swift execution, but Unaka swings her splitting maul to protect Truffenyi, meeting Issendar's blade in a swift strike. With an audible clang, the head of the maul hits the sword, and is sundered from its haft. The force of the strike sends Unaka reeling, a silent grimace of agony crossing her features, as she clutches a broken arm.

Xenoseal grins.

Grenhart searches around for a moment.

World Killer Binu just arrived.

Allye says, "Snacks."

Ale Beard Rhadyn just arrived.

Grenhart hiccups.

Malkien says, "Unaka ain't looking great."

Admoos whistles a merry tune.

Allye accepts Rozalynde's Elothean windhaze.

Grenhart settles into the velvet recliner and reclines comfortably.

Chelinde takes a bite of the tart.

Raising her Elothean windhaze to Rozalynde, Allye gives her a toast.

Crobin asks, "Can we send heals up?"

Xenoseal takes a sip of his fizz.

Bibliomancer Adelbrand just arrived.

Xenoseal takes a bite of the scone.

[General] Your mind hears Morress thinking, "Just got rezzed. Where's everyone gatherin now?"

* Staggering backwards from the impact of the maul, Issendar swings the long blade around, cleaving the haft of the weapon in Unaka's hands. Undaunted, Unaka focuses on her soulstone, and in a brilliant radiance, Unaka's soul becomes alight -- the ethereal form of on ox drawing over her, before exploding outward toward Issendar in a single radiant burst that pushes Issendar back to the edge of the platform. Exhausted from the expenditure, Unaka falls to one knee.

Grenhart pushes against the back of the velvet recliner, reclining further back and and raising the footrest higher.

Bloodgeon lingers too close to the starlight sliver. It looks dangerous.

Glimmering motes from an untethered constellation drift by Leilanie.
A glistening mote of light zips past her.

* Kirmhara descends into the battle, swinging Her cruelly twisted long sword directly at Unaka. Her ebony skin pulsed with an unnatural luminosity from ritualistic scars, Her pale silver eyes with flashing gold pupils fixed on the Gor'Tog. Her bright white, spiky braids cascade to Her knees, spilling wildly about Her sharply angled features as She swings her cruelly twisted long sword.

Soul Surgeon Zynell just arrived.

Zynell joins Betlind's group.

Allye frowns.

Grenhart wipes his face with his flannel socks and begins to gag!

* At the fall of the Anlas of Anduwen, you briefly notice an ethereal host manifest -- banshees led by Asketi's black unicorn, heading directly at the battle in the skies to join the fight against the looming Heralds!

Chelinde takes a bite of the tart.

Allye exclaims, "Oh, the Ride against the Heralds!"

Xenoseal takes a bite of the scone.

Illiya laughs!

Leilanie lingers too close to the starlight sliver. It looks dangerous.

Jopler takes a sip of his tea.

Chelinde takes a bite of the tart.

Urbaj says, "After years of practicing on us."

Leilanie gets herself a flagon of Elven frostwynne. Yum!

* The incandescent flame-red folds of Kirmhara's chitinous armor move away to unleash the flame-flickering blade. In an unceremonious swipe, She draws the tip of the blade mercilessly through Unaka's bearskin tasset. Crushing ribs and piercing organs, Kirmhara plants a foot on Unaka's chest, sending her to the ground and crushing her beneath a massive boot.

Rozalynde says, "The enemy of my enemy is my frenemy."

You notice Taenara trying to remain hidden while speaking.
You hear the voice of Taenara say in an Ilithic accent, "Drakes."

Betlind says to Karthor, "Always sneaks up on ya like that."

Malkien says, "The room's bannered."

Allye gasps!

[General] Your mind hears Morress thinking, "Anything going on at the machine?"

Allye asks, "And that stops you?"

* A somber man in stylized plate armor steps forward. Chadatru meets Kirmhara's advance with unwavering resolve. His dark eyes now focus directly on the immense Herald. With a fluid motion, He brings His shimmering silver sword up, deflecting Kirmhara's initial, powerful blow with a clang of metal that shatters the sky. The immense golden lion roars, shaking your bones.

Allye clucks her tongue and shakes her head.

Grenhart sighs quiet.

Admoos scans the area briefly.

Malkien says, "Sadly."

Shaylynne chortles softly at some secret joke.

Karthor says in a Haakish accent, "I wish I could get over there, I'm sure I've got a spare arm or three fer Unaka."

Karthor flails his arms about.

Betlind says, "Movin' to the unit."

You notice Jiol slip into a hiding place.

Admoos nods to Betlind.

Betlind says, "If ya wanna fight, join up."

* From the shadows, Zachriedek gestures, weaving malicious influence to aid Chadatru's parry. The air around Kirmhara seems to sour, a subtle weakness seeping into the very fabric of Her being. Tiny gremlins pull at Kirmhara's armor, revealing gaps in the protection, and hinder Her movements enough that Chadatru's parry is effective.

Betlind says, "Movin' in five."

Damoone joins Betlind's group.

Grenhart rises to his feet fluidly, like a large, graceful cat.

Rozalynde exclaims, "I got rum and stout!"

Rhadyn guzzles down some of his stout and then smacks his lips and wipes them with his sleeve.

* The crone quickly moves to Chadatru's side, and Harawep slashes two razor-sharp blades toward Kirmhara in a blur. Lacy silver lightning bolts crackle around Harawep, a web of silvery energy which the spider skitters across effortlessly, weaving patterns of attack, sending Kirmhara staggering backwards and off-balance.

Rhadyn bows to Binu.

[Celestial Expanse, Periphery] (**)
You stand at the rim of a wide circular platform, composed of a gleaming golden light, and perfectly featureless. Harsh icy winds whip all around, and far, far below the expanse of Elanthia affords a brilliant view. Mountains and forests, bays and the shimmering ocean, familiar landmarks, cities and townships. From the center of the platform a bizarre tree-like form writhes. Above, a thunderous battle wages -- drakes scream, light and shadow tear at one another, the Heralds and the Immortals tear at one another, and the stars bleed askew.

* Three of the Immortals pivot slowly around Elide. The air grows heavy with a palpable sense of malevolence as Dergati, Kerenhappuch, and Murulla converge on the skirted figure. Dergati narrows all three eyes at the Herald, Her wild, untamed hair billows around Her, and a sly grin twists Her sculpted face, hinting at the savage chaos within. Beside Her, Kerenhappuch, red-lipped and blonde-haired, twirls, Her flowing skirts painted in a chaotic rainbow, exerting Her will.

Ale Beard Rhadyn stomps southeast.

Yeehar Friend Grenhart goes southeast.

Iresi lingers too close to the untethered constellation. It looks dangerous.

>time
It has been 454 years, 1 days since the Victory of Lanival the Redeemer.
It is the 1st month of Akroeg the Ram in the year of the Crystal Snow Hare.
It is currently winter and it is night.
You're positive it's 12 roisaen after the Anlas of Anduwen.

Iresi lingers too close to the starlight sliver. It looks dangerous.
A sliver of starlight brightly, bathing the area in cold silver light.

* Contrasting Their malevolence, Murrula's ethereal voice begins to fill the void, a captivating melody that subtly disorients Elide, drawing Her attention. Kerenhappuch's wiles further twist the horror's perception, while Dergati's vigilance allows Her to strike with slow, relentless efficiency -- dancing gracefully as swarms of shrikes made of stars tear at the eyes of the towering Herald. As they strike, each shrike dissipates into stars that race to the skies.

Aristrona just arrived.

Aristrona joins Iresi's group.

Ezerak says to Iresi, "Don't stand near that."

Healer Leilanie walks west.

* The constellation of the Shrew flashes brightly in the sky, before returning to its rightful place!

* The constellation of the Phoenix flashes brightly in the sky, before returning to its rightful place!

* The constellation of the Shrike flashes brightly in the sky, before returning to its rightful place!

* Sensing an opportunity in Issendar's unfocused fury, Idon steps forward. The black-haired, blue-eyed youth, ever confident in His lean, well-muscled physique, begins to play His wild, percussive music -- a cacophony of jarring, chaotic sound that draws Issendar to falter in His attack. Botolf joins the attempt, manifesting a subtle yet pervasive sense of unease. His unseen touch slowly twists the very air around the Herald, adding a palpable sense of shifting uncertainty.

Ayrell glances up at the sky.

The night winter sky is a crisp, clear, starry black.
The following heavenly bodies are visible:
The planet Dawgolesh is unobscured by clouds.

Shavay pats Ruea on the back.

Casari says, "Seems like the stories about them are at least conceptually true."

Casari gazes up at the sky.

Ayrell whispers to Sarugar, "Careful."

Naturamancer Sarugar goes southeast.

* Issendar snarls as He again charges forward, only to find Firulf raising His black staff marbled in silver. With a sharp command, powerful shards of lightning crackle forth, arcing directly towards Issendar. Each bolt is precise and potent, striking with overwhelming force. Issendar pivots amidst the gathering storm, blindly slicing His sword forward in an arc and causing the Immortals to scatter.

Hunter Hanryu just arrived.

Hanryu pats Ruea on the back.

Hunter Hanryu pads southeast.

P0 is badly injured by the particle beam!

Aristrona just arrived, leading her group.

Bibliomancer Adelbrand strolls west.

* Huldah steps forward and adds His own magic to Firulf's assault. Mana storms entwine with the electrical discharges surrounding Issendar. These feinting magical strikes appear to dance around Firulf's genuine lightning, leading Issendar to move into a defensive footing, unable to discern which attacks are real and which are merely disorienting illusions.

Lady of the Watch Dantia just arrived.

Dantia touches Ruea with a confident grace.

Lady of the Watch Dantia goes southeast.

Ezerak lingers too close to the starlight sliver. It looks dangerous.

You follow Ezerak west.
[Celestial Expanse, Periphery]
You stand at the rim of a wide circular platform, composed of a gleaming golden light, and perfectly featureless. Harsh icy winds whip all around, and far, far below the expanse of Elanthia affords a brilliant view. Mountains and forests, bays and the shimmering ocean, familiar landmarks, cities and townships. From the center of the platform a bizarre tree-like form writhes. Above, a thunderous battle wages -- drakes scream, light and shadow tear at one another, the Heralds and the Immortals tear at one another, and the stars bleed askew.
Also here: Mountain Lord Ezerak and Bibliomancer Adelbrand who is sitting. Obvious paths: east, west.

Zynell gestures at Ruea.
Ruea is outlined by a silvery corona for a moment.

As Zynell intones a quiet prayer to Damaris, her hands begin to glow faintly silver. She extends a glowing hand towards the body of Ruea.
Dark crimson bands of light flow about the body of Ruea, pulsating with a heartbeat rhythm. Silvery-grey tendrils twine around the red bands, seeping into the corpse. As the last tendril vanishes from view, the bands explode with a brilliant flash and Ruea blinks dazedly, wobbling on her feet.

Bibliomancer Adelbrand just arrived.

Ruea says in a lilting accent, "Oh thank you darling."

Jopler just touched Adelbrand.

Ruea praises Zynell.

Naturamancer Sarugar just arrived.

You hear the ghostly voice of Taenara say in an Ilithic accent, "Thank you, again! We must stop meeting like this."

Rhainn touches Taenara with a confident grace.

Ruea says in a lilting accent, "Not a good place for clothing."

* Eluned steps forward, raising a fair hand toward Elide as a palpable shift occurs in the surrounding atmosphere as a storm begins brewing. Her long, wavy hair whips around her, and dark clouds gather instantaneously overhead, as the air crackles with a raw, untamed energy. Beside her, a towering presence manifests -- a wrathful shadowy form wreathed in churning, dark water.

Rhainn says, "You're welcome."

Casari ponders.

Rhainn chuckles.

Casari asks, "What is that?"

Rozalynde lingers too close to the untethered constellation. It looks dangerous.

Xenoseal gets himself a slender glass of sparkling taffelberry fizz with a twist of lime. Yum!

Xenoseal guzzles down some of his fizz and then smacks his lips and wipes them with his sleeve.

Zynell gestures at Taenara.
A thin silver nimbus surrounds Taenara.

* With a joint surge of power, the pair of Eluned and Elide summon a towering tidal wave infused with the fury of the angry oceans. This torrent of raw, cosmic power now churns with roiling black currents and flashes of violent lightning.

Ezerak asks Casari, "What is what?"

Rozalynde lingers too close to the starlight sliver. It looks dangerous.

A sliver of starlight flies through the air, searing a deep frozen gash on Rozalynde's body.

Taenara's gwethdesuan snaps in two places as its stone stones crumble into a fine powder.

Casari says, "That."

Ruea grins.

Ruea saunters southeast.

Comedian Rozalynde just arrived.

* A cataclysm of emerald and sapphire light twisted with Drogor's destructive influence crashes as one monumental wave against the Herald with overwhelming force, the combined assault shaking reality itself as the vengeful God's power amplifies the arcane impact. With each strike, stars flicker to life in the night sky.

Strawberry Nurse Illiya just arrived.

* The constellation of the Dolphin flashes brightly in the sky, before returning to its rightful place!

* The constellation of the Shark flashes brightly in the sky, before returning to its rightful place!

* The tidal wave looms menacingly over the platform, threatening to crash across the Gods and cascade downward into the expanse. Just as the wave looms overhead and threatens to endanger all of the assembled, Lemicus steps forward, gesturing at and channeling the waters until they disperse. What was a torrent that threatened to crush you beneath its might now simply splashes outward. With Her gesture, an albatross flashes through the area, before dispersing into stars that flicker into the sky.

Strawberry Nurse Illiya goes southeast.

Adelbrand scans the sky, looking for portents and insight.

Ayrell glances up at the sky.

Taenara gets an impish expression on her face, and lets out a hearty cheer.

Jopler is soaked!
Sarugar is soaked!
Adelbrand is soaked!
Ayrell is soaked!
Ezerak is soaked!

* The constellation of the Albatross flashes brightly in the sky, before returning to its rightful place!

Casari briefly spreads her arms outward and begins to chant sharply. The skipping, sparkling rhythm entices the air to shed moisture and to warm as if under a summer sun.
The warm, flowing rhythm of the enchante flows around you, seeking out every drop of moisture until your body is dry once more.
The air shifts as the persuasive melody of the enchante surrounds you, and suddenly the area seems hotter and drier.

* A third figure appears before Elide, wreathed in a gentle, starlit luminescence, with four nightingales perched upon His shoulders. Phelim raises a hand in concert with the others, and as the tidalwave collides with the ancient being, the starlight from the nightingales intensifies, weaving threads of pure dream essence into the watery, cosmic onslaught, further disorienting and weakening the Herald. With each strike, the nightingales dissipate into stars that return to the sky.

Ezerak lingers too close to the starlight sliver. It looks dangerous.

Casari says, "Ah..."

Casari frowns.

You follow Ezerak west.
[Celestial Expanse, Periphery]
You stand at the rim of a wide circular platform, composed of a gleaming golden light, and perfectly featureless. Harsh icy winds whip all around, and far, far below the expanse of Elanthia affords a brilliant view. Mountains and forests, bays and the shimmering ocean, familiar landmarks, cities and townships. From the center of the platform a bizarre tree-like form writhes. Above, a thunderous battle wages -- drakes scream, light and shadow tear at one another, the Heralds and the Immortals tear at one another, and the stars bleed askew.
Also here: Mountain Lord Ezerak and Scarred Savior Penderrin.
Obvious paths: east, west.

Obvious paths: southeast, west.

* The constellation of the Nightingale flashes brightly in the sky, before returning to its rightful place!

* The manastorm, already a maelstrom of magical chaos, now worsens, its core intensifying with an unbearable, destructive potential. The celestial expanse, once merely battered, now begins a terrifying unraveling. Cracks, shimmering with impossible colors and inky blackness, burning with a crackling rage unlike any flame.

Ayrell glances up at the sky.

Aristrona's feet are dripping water everywhere.

Casari gazes up at the sky.

Taenara strides west.

Casari sighs.

Adelbrand lingers too close to the untethered constellation. It looks dangerous.
One of the glimmering motes in an untethered constellation flares brightly, sending a particle beam into Adelbrand.
P0 is badly injured by the particle beam!

Bibliomancer Adelbrand strolls west.

* Fissures form across distant mountain ranges, geysering molten stone which is battered into the sky by lightning webbed winds. The manastorm howls, bending starlight in a high-pitched, resonant hum, causing the distant stars to flicker and falter.

Sarugar lingers too close to the starlight sliver. It looks dangerous.

A sliver of starlight brightly, bathing the area in cold silver light.

Sarugar gazes down at the ground.

Naturamancer Sarugar goes southeast.

Casari asks, "Elanthia will never be the same, will it?"

* The air thickens with a palpable dread as magical energies lash against the sky and land alike, leaving torrents of molten stone that rains down, and jagged frozen lightning that blossoms upward like grasping hands.. Swirling eddies of light and shadow, once confined, now pulse outwards, tearing at natural order. The manastorm's forces are no longer contained to mere impacts, but manifest as pervasive forces, reversing gravity as swaths of forest and mountain are wrested into the sky.

Rhainn says, "No."

Casari says, "I guess that's a small price."

Rhainn nods at Casari, obviously agreeing with her views.

Exsanguinator Jopler just arrived.

A sliver of starlight brightly, bathing the area in cold silver light.

Soul Surgeon Zynell patters southeast.

Aristrona goes west, leading her group.

* You watch as Meraud hovers at the center of the manastorms, focusing His entire being on shaping the tumult that now wreaks through the celestial expanse. The storms slowly begin circling inward, as if drawn into Meraud. Using what remains of His being, the cloaked figure draws the manastorms into Himself, and collapses to the ground of the platform.

Adelbrand says, "It happened again in the other room immediately."

Adelbrand looks healthier and Jopler appears to weaken.

Adelbrand laughs!

Jopler chuckles.

Casari pats Adelbrand on the back.

Soul Surgeon Zynell just arrived.

Valynn just arrived.

* Amidst the chaos, you feel a warming presence tugging you toward the platform at the center, as a radiance crests the platform like an inexorable dawn. You hear Berengaria's loud thoughts in your head saying, "Come, child. You have driven the drakes back. While they fight above, we will heal Elanthia." The comforting voice fills your mind -- and you find yourself bodily lifted, drawn through the expanse toward the branching column of light at the center of the platform inside the golden glow.

Casari glances at Ezerak.

Exsanguinator Jopler lopes east.

Casari gazes at a divinely lifesculpted vela'tohr tree that extends into the sky.

(look tree)
Lifesculpted into maturity, the vela'tohr plant has several gracefully curving trunks of smooth silver-white bark. Overhead, a broad canopy of giant dark-green leaves blurs at the edges into a golden haze permeated by twinkling starlight. Long thin tendrils drape from the branches, wavering lazily. Where the trunks converge, leaves part to reveal a luminous golden heart that emits a soft haze. The heart is surrounded by clusters of fully bloomed tulip-shaped blue flowers with silver swirls. Giant dark green leaves yawn open from the base of the stalk, revealing a myriad of brilliant flowers.
The plant appears to be in good condition.

* Within the glow, you are shielded by the radiance resonating into the sky. Directly above, in the upper branches, a small number of Gods -- Peri'el, Hodierna, Glythtide, and Tamsine attend to those that have fallen, while Albreda maintains a calm serenity over this space. Their focus is on maintaining the life that remains within, shielding it from the onslaught of the Heralds as the battle rages on.

* The constellation of the Dove flashes brightly in the sky, before returning to its rightful place!

* The constellation of the Unicorn flashes brightly in the sky, before returning to its rightful place!

Ezerak acts puzzled.

* The constellation of the Donkey flashes brightly in the sky, before returning to its rightful place!

* The constellation of the Cat flashes brightly in the sky, before returning to its rightful place!

Binu just appeared.

Valynn reaches out to touch a divinely lifesculpted vela'tohr tree that extends into the sky, and it extends a green branch, soft leaves curling against her flesh as she sighs softly.

A tear runs down Casari's face.

Bibliomancer Adelbrand strolls east.

Uthaldur rubs a divinely lifesculpted vela'tohr tree that extends into the sky.

Lady of the Watch Dantia just arrived.

* Meraud's collapsed form slowly descends into the branches of the tree, and Hodierna pivots to His falling form. Her pale hands gently rest against His body, and with a palpable expenditure of energy, you feel the mana streams shift around His form, stabilizing Him even as the manastorms continue to violently tear at His connection with magic itself.

You go east.
[World Pillar]
The air feels strange here, thick as honey and pulled towards the pillar. A golden haze swirls along the ground, choking writhing vines and creepers that blossom and die rapidly, scattering seed pods and dripping stone in all directions. Brief moments of the celestial battle snap into view above, difficult to follow in their magnitude. A branching column of light, ivy, and stone courses and contorts, reaching upward and extending branch-like protrusions across the sky. You also see a cloud of black mist, an oily tanned peccary, a red-eyed temple monkey and the looming Herald Elide.

* Clad in a tattered red robe, the only vaguely humanoid form of Urrem'tier coalesces over the fallen Kirmhara, shaping a large scorpion tail from inky blackness. With a single winding blow, the stinger plunges into Kirmhara's chest, and a festering darkness spreads outward from the wound to completely coat the fallen Herald. Reaching upward and grasping at the unseen above His head, Urrem'tier pulls down hard, revealing a multitude of mana vortices that bend and twist at His command.

* Channeling the mixed mana through His form and into Kirmhara, Urrem'tier flares with golden light shot through with a rainbow of color - greens and browns, cold blue and white, crackling fire and lightning. Kirmhara screams, light pouring from Her eyes and mouth, and Urrem'tier continues to flare with brilliance, the empowered God roiling with blind energy.

* One such stream lingers at the fallen form of Meraud. Hodierna's eyes fall on the small scorpions as they begin to assist Her at mending the collapsed God, reaching out to harness energy from the fallen Herald. She places both hands on His chest, closes her eyes, and concentrates -- and Meraud's eyes open. Gasping for air, Meraud sits upward.

Chelinde looks at Tweedee and begins to weep softly.

Shaylynne waggles her fingers mystically at Malkien. How nice.

Jopler says in a Gamgweth accent, "I want healing scorpions."

* Urrem'tier turns, plunging the scorpion tail into Issendar. As Issendar's soft luminosity wanes and His pale silver eyes dim, the scorpion God again injects the venomous alyurynaen deep into Issendar's rapidly fading essence. With a horrifying, almost audible, suck, the scorpion god actively siphons the vast power from the dying Herald. Issendar's remaining luminous mana, His essence of dark contrast and unbridled rage, streams like brilliant, ghostly vapor directly into the scorpion God's form, causing Urrem'tier's stinger to glow with an unnerving, amplified power.

Jopler begins pouting.

Harsh quietly says to Malkien, "We need so much more magic."

Avrenka says to Lushk, "There's a rift in the northwest corner."

Tirost says to Binu, "Meraud lives."

Rozalynde asks, "Did we just super empower the god of death?"

* As Kirmhara and Issendar's immense forms dissipate into echoes of their vast power, Elide, the third of the great Heralds, now lays at the feet of the scorpion, her unbridled energy beginning to unravel into another chaotic manastorm. Seizing the opportunity before Elide's untamed power begins to bleed into the celestial void, Urrem'tier siphons Elide's essence.

Lelly dances about with her Meraud orb.

Nawain nods to Rozalynde.

Leayne rests her hand on Xenoseal's arm with a soft smile.

Nawain says in a Rakash accent, "Errr."

Tweedee says, "Well its over now, so i wont ever know how it is to fights with Gods in heels."

Leilanie stands up.

Perune sighs.

Rabenna asks Rozalynde, "Perhaps, isn't that wonderful?"

Rozalynde says, "I'm sure that's fine."

Illiya ponders.

Harsh quietly says, "Urrem'tier is the best."

Rabenna hugs Rozalynde, getting a smile in return.

Leilanie rests her hand on Sothios's arm with a soft smile.

Ardeyllu nods to Harsh.

Chelinde says to Tweedee, "We could trade shoes."

Tweedee chuckles.

* Tendrils of pure, raw energy, the very core of Elide's being, are violently ripped from her fading form and consumed. Elide's brilliance, her unbridled might, funnels into the devouring God, causing its own horrifying contours to ripple and surge with stolen power, leaving behind only the cold, empty void where a Herald once stood, utterly consumed.

Avrenka says, "What will he do with that power ..."

Nawain says in a Rakash accent, "Oy, Urrem'tier, could you... maybe give Asildu a second chance? Shouldn't take more than a Herald's toe of energy..."

* Roiling with unbridled energy, Urrem'tier now approaches each of the other thirty-eight, lifting a hand and marking each of them with a fingertip -- leaving inky blackness in its wake. The energy is palpable, as each draws from the shared energy of the fallen Heralds.

* Meraud drinks deeply of the alyurynaen, and slowly regains His feet. Still struggling to contain the energy of the raging manastorms, he lifts His staff, and channels their energy. He channels the raw, unbridled mana pouring from the dissipated forms of Kirmhara, Issendar, and Elide as shared by Urrem'tier. This immense, chaotic power, the very essence of three fallen Heralds, flows through Meraud, not overwhelming Him, but becoming a conduit for His will. He manipulates the impossible light of the manastorm, weaving it into coherent patterns.

Leayne softly asks, "Are the drakes still out there?"

Tweedee waves the gnawed-upon wand through a puzzling series of gestures. A steamy raven-shaped slab of spicy ham appears in his left hand!

* With a focused intensity, Meraud channels the streams into a stable weave, forcing the chaotic lashings of magic to conform to its prior stable configuration. The shimmering cracks in reality begin to knit together and the high-pitched hum of unraveling dampens.

Ophiliah chuckles at Leayne.

Leayne rests her hand on Betlind's arm with a soft smile.

Narathine gets a chocolate bonbon coated in an apple-green glaze from inside his backpack.

Allye hugs Leayne, who wraps her arms around Allye with a warm smile.

Penderrin sternly says, "Hopefully the Heralds will no longer be a threatsheathe maul."

* Urrem'tier steps forward, immense energy still radiating from His form. Flanked by Aldauth and Eylhaar, They stand at the center of the branching tree of light. They pulse with an unnerving, amplified power. With this immense, stolen divine energy coursing through Their form, Urrem'tier turns His attention to you -- the mortals assembled, looking directly through you and into your soul.

* Channeling the siphoned mana, Urrem'tier's fearsome stinger, once a bringer of definitive end, now glows with a dualistic light: the inky blackness of absolute cessation merges with a burgeoning, radiant gold, the nascent energy of creation. You are left with the distinct feeling that something about your mortality has fundamentally changed.

* You hear Tiv's loud thoughts in your head saying, "I don't know what's happening up there, but let's get you to safety." A gaping rift of rippling crystal blue luminescence rips through the air in front of you, followed by a sudden blast of frigid wind. You are forcefully drawn through, leaving you back in a safe location...

Admoos says, "If its over, how do we get outta here."

Return to the Temple
