Alzar passes through the small trapped chamber and then enters a stair way up that opens into a huge room with many numerous strange sights. There are a pair of purple colored clouds at the top of the stairs flanking it, and in side are a large open pyramid structure, with a great force field on top that keeps outside out. Seated on the force field, on the outside of the Spindle is a huge greater djinni.
There are numerous creatures of air here. A few more airdrakes, a bunch of Air Elementals, a cloud of flying Air Fundamentals, and more. A few lesser djinni are here, and there;’s a few Aerial Servants and Invisible Stalkers aiding and serving people. A number of pillows, table,s and chairs are here and most of the people are sprawled about.
Alzar is greeted by a Stalker who motions for him to follow. After a moment, he chooses to do so and he is seated at a table with some other Air creatures. They explain that there are two sets of food - one invisible and sustaining to the spirit and soul, and the other visible and sustaining to the body. Alzar can choose which to eat. The invisible spirit-food is unable to be seen, it’s not something that’ s normally visible but hidden, but instead lacks visibility at all and is beyond it.
Alzar chooses to eat the visible food and its quite delicious. That’s i. He chooses not to eat the invisible food though. You never know what could happen, and air creatures are known as very capricious. Its in their nature. None of the other feasters have grown upset at Alzar for being here. None have attacked. Again, they are capricious…
Hmm…
The Star of Mo’Pilar is up and Alzar does a quick investigation. There is just one magical item in the room, an amulet worn by an Airdrake. They also notice something about the clouds that flanked the stairs. Alzar gets a familiar feeling. Something familiar, and something he didn’t expct here….
Something dark. Something evil. Something necrotic….
