An Erie orange glow begins to flare up.  Smoke and the screen of super heated air continue to mask any details that were once visible. One goblin, more courageous or stupid (take your pick) has walked near the blazing form looking to see what has happened.  He is close enough to see runes carved into the metal and heated rock that make up this unique creature’s form.  The goblin screams as the very air around him becomes super heated.  His lungs burn and harden as he breathes in the fumes of the burning earth and flesh around him.  He is nearly dead even before the creature lashes out at him.  The goblin is crushed and ignites in with an infernal intensity that defies logic and nature.Several more explosions occur within 100 feet of the first creature.  It scans the darkness as it waits for its fellow INFERNALS to awaken and rise from their craters.  Soon, several dozen of these creatures gather together and begin to walk to the ruins nearby.  The ruins where the Champions of Infiniti are located.They find the doorway used by the Captain to enter the mazelike cells below.  The Captain has closed the heavy stone doors with Vander’s help.  Two of these creatures team up and open the door.  Smoking scorch marks remain on the door where they grasped it.The creatures unnatural glow light up the darkness within the worked stone catacombs.  They move with purpose and force.The other HUNDREDS of creatures decimate the two armies above the ruins.ELSEWHERE-Elminister leaned on the rails of the artifact most know as the Crystal Shard.  The powers of the artifact mixed with his fearsome magic made the capture of the Northern Hemisphere of Faerun easy enough.  To continue to hold this control has not been as easy.The rebels were gathering and becoming too strong to ignore.  Their leader, a strong barbarian known as Wulfgar, began with the Forces of the Silver Marches.  Another force, three women created by a mortal man that became a god , are forming a strong force to the south.  Alias is the lead sister of the Starlight Wall.A new and unexpected force has recently risen.  These drow are led by a human of all beings.  Entreri has pledged the destruction of the artifact after it burned his friend Drizzt.  Though believed to be alive, the drow ranger has taken to exile in Chult.Suddenly Eliminister snaps his head up.  “Yes- I feel it also.  There is something wrong here.  Something unexpected.”The sky opens up in a ball of fire.  Fiery lines of energy begin to fall from it to the surface of Faerun.  They watch as the pieces strike the world causing fires to erupt within Shadowdale’s large forests.  “I am well aware this is not from Alias nor Entreri.  By the dead body of Mystra- who dares?!?”ELSEWHEREThe middle-age man sits at his computer.  He is surrounded by examples of his hobbies and interests.  Pop culture icons, toys and fantasy items to cling to the walls.  He is typing on the keyboard trying to communicate with unseen friends on the internet at a site about his hobbies.So engrossed in his activities he doesn’t see the sky rip open.  Hundreds of burning rocks falls from the sky.  He jumps in a start when the first one strikes the Green Mountains of Vermont.  He watches in awe as the fires spread.  Unknown to him, his alternate reality is about to become ashes and reabsorbed into the core universe.</blockquote>
