The Forbidden One replies for Atroxica's case; "My mistress is capable creating permanent changes on others through touch. Changes can be cosmetic or dramatic, it can be used as a weapon against foes as I doubt any foe can do anything if they lack limbs, eyes, ears or mouth to speak. Also she can modify her own arcane spellcasting through using her allies as fuel to the changes into the spell and she is capable casting ninth circle of spells. Of course what spells she had prepared varies. Outside her mystical powers she has deep insight to arcane and spellcraft along with social skills to make almost anyone to fall for her or fear her dreadfully and read people. Also of course her court, which so far makes me, Jerions and Prettyboy and other lesser followers, is in itself her strength as all her court members are devotionally loyal to her to point of fanaticism. Willing to die or be changed by her touch to any suited purposes for given tasks what she desires pursue."<br/><br/><strong>Vholdran</strong>(https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=229615.msg11271581#msg11271581)<br/><div class="floatleft">(http://th02.deviantart.net/fs70/PRE/f/2014/148/5/d/guldan_by_nikolaiostertag-d7k49ht.jpg)</div><strong>Location:</strong>Iron Fortress of Burning Eye<br/><strong>With:</strong>Everyone<br/><strong>Status/Effects:</strong>Normal, default statistics<br/><hr/><br/>Vholdran lets others talk with each other but he comments on Nyag'thon words about her shape; "How you would describe true form to one who lacks shape? In that case a mask is real as lack of mask your case."<br/><br/>(I OOC thought the female form is a 'host' so my bad but IC Vholdran would had known difference of a host or merely 'sculpted' temporal form)<br/><br/>Then before he gets visuals the additional guests, or more contractors, appear from other room storming in. Vholdran sighs deeply and he replies to the trio; "I was about get to that part Robin, let me introduce you to Robin Slagheart, Golgorath and Jannatha. They are people which I had contacted or worked in the past and they are reliable but can be at times.....challenging to cooperate with but they provide some potent resources in this part of chapter in your young lives. Any dealings what you do are between you and them, they are more and less advertising their services for you if your willing to make such arrangements."<br/><br/>Then the war council table glows and first layer starts take shape visually before them and Vholdran speaks; "Now let's start with the layers, Golgorath, feel free to answer any questions our guests asks or fill in for me if I miss some details. All the layers have in common in that they have no demon lords in them, so they are free to be taken by likes like us and then can start reform them over time."<br/><br/>First layer shown appears at first to be just bile of veins....until it zooms in and shows the veins are<em>enormous</em>! Wide and big to let several purple worms slither through or can narrow down to size where only mouse could crawl through! The veins writhe, wiggle and burrow into each other or snap others apart. Some are large knots where inside those knots lay flesh crafted cities and towns where demons live in communities some sort. All veins shiver and pulse with life.<br/><br/>Vholdran speaks; "This is 101 layer, known as The Nervous Labyrinth, it's organic plane with unpredictable forming patterns how veins collide, merge or snap broken. But there are few spots of stability in place where knots had formed but they also can snap or change albeit less likely. Some handful demons had formed towns or even city in this layer but no demonic lord overlord here."<br/><br/>Then image changes, showing now whirling maelstorm where slowly but constantly moving floating isles circle around. Crimson/purple ligthning flares constantly in sky, freezing icicles bombard the plateaus along with scorching acid rains and even lightning itself falls in electric drops. Some demons move across that abyssal weathered landscape while carrying a fleshy umbrella's above them which seems deflect the hailstorm hitting them directly. Wind and hail howled around plateus and brushes on their surface and any settlements seem have been build into plateaus or inside them.<br/><br/>Vholdran speaks; "This one is 102 layer, Panderechos. It is abyssal layer with close connection to elemental plane of air and it explains the windy weather in there. Acid rains and frozen hailstorms are common but unique to this plane is actual rain of electricity it does and locals have figured out to make umbrella's from local beasts which have naturally adapted to deflect the electric rain."<br/><br/>The next image shows then planar layer filled with countless gigantic tall grand trees, warped and tainted by abyss. There are several long and wide metal pipes thrust into the trunk of these gigantic trees and some demons are collecting the sap carefully from the pipes. All demons wear some kind breathing mask while taking the sap. Another angle shows demonic fruits or smaller humanoid shaped trees, warped by evil of abyss, doing a bloody violent battle and even one case closer to ground group of adventurers devoured (or raped) by plants (https://archive.loveisover.me/foolfuuka/boards/d/image/1405/12/1405125466118.jpg)!<br/><br/>Vholdran speaks; "This one is 103 layer; The Sinning Orchard. In here plants take manifestation of all mortal sins and battle each other or anything which comes on their way. The sap from the tree is noxious but highly intoxicating when formed into brews. Sort of demonic moonshine equivalent."<br/><br/>Then next image shows several enormous sacks of flesh, which show no activity nor life in them but as view zooms in, each sack contains space for entire cities or worlds whiting. However the sacks lack of any life and only warm darkness fills the layer. Although one starts pulse crimson light and once closing in to it, it shows the fleshy walls/floors erupt and give birth to alien monstrosities which immediately start rampage to slaughter, kill and hunt their fellows without mercy! However after a time, there appears drip slime from the fleshy walls/roofs and it starts melt it's own creations,<em>digest</em>the occupants alive until they are nothing more than fleshy goo in the walls and floor of the layer.<br/><br/>Vholdran speaks after end of the spectacle; "104 layer; Womb of Disdain. It lacks any intelligence and life but it attempts devour and digest anything what enters there, but it curiously has potential birth brand new creatures and entities from it's walls and floor but instantly presence of life triggers digestion process and creations are devoured....only fertilize the new one. This is place of constant life, rebirth, death and also creation."<br/><br/>Next image shows first a crimson mist shrouded spires....along with some shadowy figures moving through the mist. But as it zooms in, it shows colossal sized demonic beasts which take mocked expressions of more common grand land animals in prime material plane and the ground everywhere was covered in small red wiggling worms which get crushed by these behemoths and erupt the worms into liquid red clouds which create the wet mist which taints beasts red from ichor. The worms get also crushed by rocks falling from the spire or meteors which crash all around in the layer in meteor storms.<br/><br/>Vholdran speaks; "The 105 layer; Caligo Carminium. Besides blocking visual senses that mist blocks all senses expect tremor sense which those all behemoths seem possess in the layer. Only those behemoths feet reach the rocky floor layer through that thick carpet of worms which are unendingly spawning."<br/><br/>Then last image is of rolling hills which appear firstly calm.....but then sudden earthquake cracks and changes the hills, some cracking and some imploding until exploding in magma or in deep crimson blood like organic entity. Plants grow rapidly or slowly and they also explode in fiery inferno or in colorful colors of the rainbow or in gore. The entire layer is in constant flux of change, growth and explosions and mostly have just hills which just evolve and change until they explode or earthquake hits them.<br/><br/>Vholdran speaks; "This is 106 layer; The Ever-Heaving Heath. It's place of constant change and growth and well, explosions. It's quite restless as a layer and so I doubt it's ever quite stabilized unless under iron will of a demonic lord who can focus constantly well. Or give it guidance or direction to the changes other than explosions."<br/><br/>Then all six images form into miniature spheres in war council table and anyone can touch, zoom or take closer look on layer if they so wish and Vholdran awaits what others think about the layers which he had searched for which they can take and reform it into their desires. Or ask further questions about the layer which without doubt Golgorath can answer equally if not better than Vholdran himself.
