A neverending field

[Anastasia]

The daemon is just inside - armored and helmeted. No weapon is drawn and in one hand it holds a scroll. From the looks of it's almost certainly an ultroloth, or perhaps a unique daemon or half fiend. Hard to tell for sure in the armor.

[Corwin]

Seira takes a look at the scroll.

No magic, then? Okay.

[Anastasia]

The daemon has mind blank and fortunate fate, that's it.

The scroll is a scroll. It's held in the daemon's hand. Hard to read it like that in time stop, at least without magic.

[Corwin]

By the time time resumes, the shrine is concecrated once more and her book restored. Also, everything is on fire that burns the wicked.

There will be an effect similar to Crown of Flame that would make his presence uncomfortable, but hardly lethal even with 2d6 anti-fiend fire per round.

[Anastasia]

That daemon screeches like a pig - literally. It brings its arms up to shield itself a moment, before, "I bring a message," it rasps out, "Nothing else."

[Corwin]

"Bring it without rudely disrupting my shrines next time," Seira tells it flatly. "Who sends the message?"

[Anastasia]

"All is contained in the scroll," Is the answer, the creature offering it to you. "It is best if I do not speak his name."

[Corwin]

Seira accepts the scroll, asking, "Are you expected to bring back an answer?"

[Anastasia]

"No," The creature lets out another squeal and turns, fleeing from you as flames burst amid it, burning it.

Feel free to try and stop it if you like.

[Corwin]

Seira studies the scroll, letting the daemon go. A warning is more effective if it is measured in response to the offense.

[Anastasia]

The scroll reads as follows.

Seira.

You may call me Dulas. I have come on information that regards the Lady of Loss, information that we can come to a mutually profitable agreement over. This information details multiple and current plans and will provide insights on how to best stop them before they become a problem.

To communicate with me, touch the emblem at the bottom of this scroll.

You look down and see that at the bottom of the scroll is an emblem of a pair of black eyes, staring ahead. They are drawn well, stylized and artistic.

[Corwin]

Does the name ring a bell for a knowledge check of 120? Do I recognize the emblem?

Also, can I in fact use divine communications to talk to him if I have an alias and a target, even if I don't know his exact name?

[Anastasia]

Yes, Dulas is a daemon name. It's best known as a mysterious servant of Anthraxus in ages past, as it became semi known as a diplomat. A cold and cruel figure, one never seen without an onyx mask on at all times. The emblem the same emblem Dulas used as a diplomat and presumably may still use now. He mostly dealt with various deities (but not planar lords) of evil.

You could, sure.

[Corwin]

Do you speak for yourself, or for your master? Seira asks Dulas.

[Anastasia]

The voice is proud, strong and clear. 'You speak nonsense to me. Why?'
