As everyone is sorting out what they want to do, there is an odd tension in the air and within moments it becomes unbearable as though seeping into the mind.  Perhaps it does, as an intense migraine overwhelms.  There is a sickly sweet smell of burning flesh in the air, as each one in turn experiences a dizzying excruciating pain on their bodies.<br/><br/>The very air practically thrums with power, when suddenly there is a crackle of green lightning, then another and another.  The stone dissolves and disintegrates when struck, yet strangely those that strike the group seem to pass harmlessly through their bodies.  Yet the electricity streams across the ground, the walls, the ceiling, all them culminating to single point on the roof above them.  It concentrates, then abates, dimming and in a single moment flares, striking like the tail of some scorpion.<br/><br/>If the pain was strong before, it is nothing compared to this as strikes at them, seemingly at random on parts of their bodies.  Like the hand of a tattooist, the power traces marking upon them and when all has died down, only the vague glow of strange markings on their bodies is seen, and presently that fades as well.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">GM Notes</div><div class="spoiler_body">Character’s who succeed on an <strong>Intelligence</strong> check (DC 10) remember this as the same sort of pain the experienced in the Desolation when they first came to the world.<br/><br/>(http://i1117.photobucket.com/albums/k581/Am_Dreams/SyrdainMark.jpg)<br/><br/>1 – Kurze (Throat); 2 – Phaia (Breast); 4 – Mysterium (Backside); 8 – hgb (Left Knee); 9 – Tagan (Upper Left Arm); 11 – Loki Aesir (Head), Mysterica (Stomach)<br/><br/>The markings are about as small as one hand to as big as both hands cupped together (players can determine the exact size), and are located on the general area mention (players can determine the exact locations).</div></div>
