The Solar gestures to the Great Prismatic Wyrm laying nearby, who nods."The Ancient One has been there for as long as dragons have memory.  If any know of this Foretelling, it will be him.  He has chosen to reside in peace on the Material plane for the same reason that the Ban was first instituted... He became sick of all the over-powered beings trying to carve a little hole for themselves."  His deep rumbling voice reverberates around the gigantic room for a few seconds after he stops talking, and the third member, a Halfling that you all recognize steps forward."Hello again, old friends" Says the Demi-god of Adventurers "As you may have surmised by their relative silence and lack of a representative, the greater Gods have decided to stay out of this, though why they have not chosen to say.  I believe it to be related to an old rumour about the ban, that it was both proposed AND opposed by various Gods, and that the ones who lost may be responsible for our current situation.  Who they may be is, unfortunately unknown.  I can say, however, that those breaking the ban are doing so with some degree of divine help, whether one of them has divine powers, or a God is backing them."  He sighs and sits on the table.  "As far as I can tell, what we need to do is get you guys in there, find the old man..."  *He is cut off by a growl from the dragon* "Uh, I mean find the 'Ancient One', and get him to tell you... well, basically what to do.  I can also tell you that you need to be quick about it.  As you may guess, most of the more powerful adventurers on the Prime are worshippers, wether directly or through their actions, of myself, and I have been feeling a rather large drop in their activities and powers.""Now" Continues Makariel "There is nothing else of note that we can tell you, so if you would accompany us, we will help you get through the crowd out there safely so you can enter the barrier."  As he finishes speaking, another Solar appears in the room in a flash of light. "Sir, a half dozen individuals just blasted their way through the mob outside and went into the portal! I was unable to Identify them, but with the ease they destroyed the demons and angels in their way, and the flash the portal gave off when they passed through..."They all turn to look at you "I guess that means GO." Quips the halfling "Anything else pressing you need here?"</blockquote>
