conversations:  You have been summoned. You were called to a great convocation of gods, and were informed of each other's existence. You were informed that there is something wrong with the future, and that you must find the flaw and put it right. The gods seemed worried; as far as you can surmise, they cannot feel the flaw or what may be causing it, dispite the unified powers of dozens of gods of this. It was suggested that you start your search in a plane known only as Eridis, a dark backwater of the multiverse.

  A tall, willowy woman stands in the room with you, and as you look at her, the thought occurs to you, this is a snake, in human form. Her black hair is glossy and reaches to her shoulders, and her blue eyes stare at you, unblicking. She is covered from neck to toe in a sheer black robe that clings to her curves, but covers her skin completely. A black cape billows from her neck and shoulders, it is decorated with a symbol of her god, Set, surrounded by a giant python and a giant cobra. Her black purse is similarily decorated, but she does not seem to be carrying any visible weapons.
  
   Ssso, Eribusss, you sssay. That isss not a plane I am familiar with. Doesss anyone know sssomething about it?

conversations:  Mallias, Torexis and Sallethium stand together in the room, looking around at the other occupants. At ease in his heavy looking suit of armour, made from white dragonscales and covered in intricate patterns of gilded gold, Mallias turns to the two dragons next to him, who have taken human form so as to not disturb their companions. Torexis had taken the form of a rather striking golden haired woman and Sallethium, always the trickster, had turned into a man who looked almost as old as Mallias did.
  
   I'm curious about that too. Let's ask mistress knowledge goldmine over here  he said out loud for the benefit of the others in the room and nudged Torexis.

conversations:  A tallish man is standing with you in the room. He actually looks rather plain for a mage of such power. He is clean shaven and wears a simple embroided black tunic and pants under the glistening mithril chain. The cloak draws eye for a moment, being distorted and blurry. On his shoulder is a blue stone with spidery legs. It seems to be moving slightly as if observing the other people in the room. He has a mace by his side
   "I've heard this Eridis is rather inhospitable for living beings. It is filled to the brim with the walking dead. We will need precautions."  Aer speaks out nonchalantly.

   Unlike many other priessstsss, I have very limited ssskillsss in controlling or turning the living dead. It wasss not sssomething I ssstudied. However, I can create a lot of fire. Which they dont like. And lotsss of healing ssspellsss, which have a negative effect on them.

  A tallish man strides out from the shadows. He wears a cloak of black velvet and whatever part of his face that isn't obscured by the shadows coming off from it is covered by a mask, featureless save for two holes for the eyes and a thin depression resembling a smile.
  
   "My talents are varied and I am capable of handling those degenerates if the need arises."

conversations:  "The undead, demons, devils, angels, daeva and more. If you do not stop your questioning, I will be inclined to include you into that list." 
  
  Even if the tone he uses is that of a somewhat playful child, you know that the masked man will not hesitate to follow though on his promise if pressed.

conversations:  Aeson seems to pause as if considering his options. You can tell that he doesn't even blink as his silence runs for more than a minute. "Hmm. Very well then. The threat found in Eridis is of more consequence." 
  
  Drawing the fabled sword, Ruinous, from its sheathe, he presents it to them in a seemingly non-threatening fashion.  "My sword is at this endeavor's disposal. What else do we need in order to proceed?"

  if you are still relying on sight without true seeing or some form of concealment negating sight, then you are effectivily blinded.
   
   Howls seem to be emanating from the white fog clounds around you. The ground under your feet appears to be black ice, icy cold buffets you.

  Eshalyn chants for a moment as she appears to rub her eyes for a moment. She finishes, blinks and looks around, her eyes now penetrating the fog.
