[QUOTE="LostSoul, post: 4229797, member: 386"] Erias lights black candles rendered from an unknown tallow. Skamos lights a brazier and burns pungent incense. Blue smoke fills the room. Erias' eyes roll back into his head. He reaches a state of ecstasy, touching the divine. The walls of time and space dissolve before him, and he can see [i]everything[/i]. Visions swim over him, and he feels his mind, his conciousness, being torn away from his body. "Now!" he yells at Skamos, and the teifling wizard casts the token of Shalmanisar into the brazier. Suddenly, everything comes into focus for Erias. He sees Shalmanisar in his true form - a grey, humanoid being, devoid of sex organs, a featureless face with large, black eyes, two tiny pinpricks for nostrils, and a small slit for a mouth. The doppleganger is crouched in deep concentration over a large stone sarcophagus, drawing arcane symbols in blood upon its lid. As the vision recedes into smoke and haze, and Erias's conciousness returns to his body once again, he realizes what he saw - the shapechanger making preparations for a summoning ritual. [color=sienna]That was a success; he's in the "old city" catacombs. You don't have to go in there to get him, though; you can "call him out" via successful skill checks.[/color] [/QUOTE]
