Message: <blockquote data-quote="Plane Sailing" data-source="post: 1453" data-attributes="member: 114">Crail follows him into the mists, and they zero in on the sound of two men talking - engaging them, Crail finds himself struck by magic missiles, and a fan of burning flame also shoots forth from the mist. These two hooded sorcerers would not be too much of a problem though, and Crail quickly takes one of them down - but suddenly with an awful sucking sound a huge, tentacled slimy worm like creature appears in their midst. Its head dips down and five of its tentacles slash Lysander, hauling him up in the air and transferring him towards its terrible sucking mouth. Ynnsfeardh and Azrin head into the mist to aid their fellows, the monk striking at the creature with a kama, while Azrin finds himself duelling across its tail with the sorcerer who produces flaming hands. Lysander calls upon the healing powers of Asura to keep himself going, and the worm gets bored with him and flings him aside before attacking Crail. Things are starting to look serious when suddenly the creature vanishes, sucked back to whatever plane it had come from. One of the cabalists has escaped, the other is captured, relieved of a number of potion vials which Azrin looks after, and a wand in a holster which Crail appropriates.They need to take some time to recover before tackling the bookshop itself, so they drag the cabalist off for questioning, but all they get from him is babbling inanities - "the door swings open", "the dreamer awakes", "doom will befall all, all will fall before him Mwha-ha-ha-ha!". Lysander is a little concerned about the way that the cultists mind seems to be going, considering the religious secret he uncovered during his recent studies in the library - that some prophets teach that there is an unspeakable entity, imprisoned forever by mighty Asura in the dawn of time, the god of this world and its inhabitants before men ever arose. Some prophets say that one day this unspeakable one will awaken and destroy the world. No wonder that information is well hidden!DMs note: every 5 ranks in Knowledge(religion) or knowledge(arcane) will reveal one of the campaign secrets to a player)They decide to take the cultist back to the temple, but on the way Crail notices that they are being followed...</blockquote>
