The good news: You can immediately rule out the Far Realm. If it was Far Realm creatures, there wouldn't be an Abyss anymore, or a Creation altogether.

The creatures vary. Some are lizardlike, some are crablike and reports of humanoids are known of as well. Sometimes twisted versions of normal demons are seen as well. There's not a lot of reports from it and they all vary on the exact details of what is encountered. The main thing that can be agreed on is that they probably aren't obyriths, for what little good that does anyone.

The corruption's reports are likewise limited, but the twist the creature into something of evil. Heavier exposure is unclear likely because anyone altered that far doesn't survive to come back. Light changes induce a collapse in any moral fiber and a distinct desire for destruction. Sufficient holy magic can reverse these changes at that stage. Likely as a deity you'd shrug off such things, at least.

[Iron Dragoon]

Hmm... Can I like, abduct one of the twisted creatures for study or something? Summon one or something? And is there anything I can do to figure out if Holy Fire would work normally?

[Anastasia]

You could try to abduct one. How would you do it?

You could probably work out some way to possibly summon one as well.

Go there and try it, or somehow get more info or use divinations, you'd imagine.

[Iron Dragoon]

Okay, then I'll try the same thing as with Sebastian: try to scry one then Gate and pull.

And let's try to do some more divination for the holy fire vs. corruption dealio.

[Anastasia]

Okay, which one first?

[Iron Dragoon]

Getting a test subject first. If they're corrupted, then we can also test out holy fire on them.

[Anastasia]

Okay, so who exactly are you scrying on?

[Iron Dragoon]

Well, let's start with general scrying on the Hellhole and go from there. I'm not looking for the biggest, baddest dude around, just something that's corrupted in there.

[Anastasia]

CL on the scrying real quick.

It's dark.

Not a darkness of a lack of light, but something more.

The eyes drink in the light. Pairs of eyes, of things. Rambling and rumbling things, crawling and slithering things with so many mouths that all open wide. Flames burn amid them as snapping, clawing, twisting hands reach up by the dozens.

A broken place of rock and dead earth. It is littered with these things that scurry and slither and climb. Reptilian ones with eyes that seem to know and hate you. Gnarled ones like old wood warped into a suitable form. Avians that glare death and destruction, birds with clawed wings and feathers that consume.

Alyssa looks for one that can't fly and is a little isolate, so she has time to close the gate without it getting rushed.

She sends to the others, Everyone, I want you at the Crystal. I'm going to try and pull one of the denizens here so we can study it. I want you here in case something goes wrong.

[Anastasia]

Bastian's voice in your mind, 'Fine.'

It's not hard to get everyone together, just in case.

Any prep for this since you're taking it seriously?

[Iron Dragoon]

Gonna need some sort of holding cage?
