Would you be forthcoming, Verhig? But don't make a mistake of underestimating us, we just passed through the grove guardians unscathed. Attack at your own peril!"

Ye be thinkin' tha because you don't nest on our plane, ye be so much more enlightened?" He holds the craghammer before him. In a sudden burst of purple hued imagery, a story unfolds. Demonic visages rip through the fabric of time and lay waste to a goblin kingdom. Different images flash of demons fighting elves, dwarves and man. Giants, dark skinned elves and snake beings rage against the onslaught. Then a glimmer of light sparks on the plane of anarchy. A single man joined with a spirit of pure good starts to absorb the demons' energy. Absorbing more and more, the man strains against the dark. But across the lands, the humanoids struggle against the demons shifts and they humanoids start to push back, to battle the demons and push them from the realm. Great portals are created which close the demons entry to the world. A single image of a man, driven insane by his battle against the dark energy of the world, laughing madly by himself. "Worse things than you have happened. And we- elves, dwarves giants and man- have faced them down. Don't underestimate us, it will be your undoing!" (Intimidate Check 27 – SUCCESS)</p><p> </p><p> Rikka continued to pace around the edge of the clearing. She scanned the mushroom forest, attempting to use her knowledge of the natural world to discern any clues she could about what sort of creature might live in a place like this.
