Though Starn is not fluent in Supernal, his religious training has gained him enough passable exposure to be dangerous in the language of angels, devils, and gods:ABANDON YOUR FALSE GODS.  RADIANT ETERNITY LIES WITHIN US.Then darkness.  Full grinding halt of the platform.  Someone...or some...thing has cut the arcane power entirely.What do you do?  How do you get the whole host up these last 10 feet or so to the threshold of the door and then force the large double doors open (or something)?Failure here and what is beyond these doors will be better prepared; encounter budget increase by +5 (2 x Minions).</blockquote>
