Message: <blockquote data-quote="Isida Kep'Tukari" data-source="post: 6234033" data-attributes="member: 4441">The figures in the pit seem to be approximately human-sized, though brilliantly colored, red, blue, purple, green, yellow, in loud and obnoxious color combinations - stripes, splotches, and angular patterns.  None of them seem to have weapons in their hands, though their hands do seem to sport short claws.  A couple of what look like either tails or tentacles press against the surface as well, and maybe a few horned heads.  In response to Father Seren's touch, one of the hands tries to clutch at him, but the toughness of the membrane prevents it from getting a grip.Seregal considers the creatures, the symbols he's seen, and the sounds around him, and tries to trace a symbol on the membrane, moving slowly so his hand can be seen by those below.  He's pretty certain this is "identify."  As the symbol is completed, a clawed hand presses up against his, and moves to trace a symbol of its own.  Unit 745 Seregal reads.  As the symbol is completed, the membrane domes up and suddenly splits as eight figures, definitely abhumans, are pushed to the surface.  They stay still, their skins glistening with moisture in the harsh white lights of the other two plates.  The one in front, a lurid purple and red with the slick skin of an amphibian and clawed hands suitable for evisceration, has what looks like a tapering rod of metal jutting from its skull at an odd angle.  None of the abhumans have weapons in evidence.  The red and purple one makes a trilling noise that harmonizes with the thrum of power in the air, and all of the abhumans turn to look at the center plate in perfect, eerie unison.</blockquote>
