Temporal pixies

[Nephrite]

"I assume it won't be very long before we hear from him." Moore says as he moves to enter and take a look around.

It's interesting that Akali mentioned something being caged - ...wait, could she have been referring to this, and be upset about it...?

[Anastasia]

'Leave,' A voice whispers on the wind, like a rumble of faraway thunder.

Sylvie tenses but doesn't blink, as meanwhile Cresiel just hefts his blade. "Run," he retorts aloud.

[Nephrite]

If you seek to challenge us, then challenge us. But we will not until we have what we're here for.

[Anastasia]

'Then you will sputter out and die.' The voice says, firm.

[Nephrite]

Moore snorts.

He takes a look around, perhaps he can see anything important from here?

Perception for 97.

[Anastasia]

Do you have true seeing or anything like that?

[Nephrite]

I do, in fact, have True Seeing!

[Anastasia]

You look ahead. You see nothing - but it is just a phantasm. Beneath is a great land mass, far larger in here than the sphere is outside. It is cracked and barren land, where geysers of molten metal burst from the earth as if bleeding wounds. Cooling, sizzling puddles of metal are everywhere, and in those pools humanoid figures - too large, too large a mouth one and all - form and stir.

[Nephrite]

"We're definitely in the right place." Moore says. "We're... mm. This is going to be interesting."

Let's have Jetina throw in a Mass Energy Immunity to Fire while we're at it.

[Anastasia]

As Jetina casts Sylvie lands, hovering a few inches above the ground. "Best not to walk here," she says aloud.

"Is the ground poison?" Cresiel asks, but obeys without question.

"Worse. Hungry," Sylvie replies, "The Father was mostly after your time in Aurora, but I suspect his touch lingers in this land. From what we were able to find, the Father was sealed in a book and that book was hidden in Valgadda. Somehow this piece was part of or was connected, and has been poisoned by the Father's presence somehow - he's good at that."

[Nephrite]

"I've never had the opportunity to properly return the favor for looking into the matter when I was in Aurora." Moore says. "This will be a great chance to settle that debt."

Can I see the throne within a mile? If not, let's just start going around the edge.

[Anastasia]

You do not.

As you begin to fly, you see more and more of the metal creatures arise, and a few begin to form entirely and come forth from the pools here. They look about and the moment they see your flying party, begin to lumber forward towards you, wet and squelching sounds as they try and pursue.

[Nephrite]

"Xandra, do you believe we can affect these like things from Beyond? These are abominations, aren't they?" He asks as he notices them coming their way.

[Anastasia]

"No, they are horrors but they are horrors of Creation," Xandra says at last.

[Nephrite]

"Then we will deal with them as per Creation's rules." He says with a bright and cheerful smile.

Eveyone gets +26 on their init roll.
