Recap

Bargaining with Asriya. She only agrees to loosen the bonds on the demon. Holg and Kilith argue.
Ritual. Try and hold concentration. Attack.
Ritual is a success, but it pushes Asriya to her limits and she is very fatigued. She still manages to conjure a "mansion" for them to sleep in for the night. Day 30.

Current Day

Flora Cycle Day 30. Last day of the cycle.

Late Night/Early morning

Small quakes begin in set intervals, about 1 minute apart. Noticable after about 4 hours by high passive perception. At about 6 hours later, everyone can feel the quakes.
Korinth is not in his coin, but he does still choose to remain hidden until needed.
Asriya's door is closed, but not locked. When they open the door, they find her standing in the center of the large, yet very empty, room. She looks completely disheveled; her outer mantle is off, hair is unwinding, and doesn't look like she slept much at all. This means her pendant is visible; identical to Viran's brooch.
She's surrounded by floating books arranged to be facing in toward her. A group of them arranged together makes the full image of a summoning circle. Many of the books are dripping blood into small puddles on the ground.
Outside is not the garden plains they were in hours ago. There's a bit of overgrown ground right at the doorway, but beyond that is a swirling mass of magic. Darkness illuminated by flahses of fire twining itself around streams of non-elemental magic streams, rocks and chunks of ice and other indescernable material float and sometimes rocket by, the occaisonal twisted and alien creature is seen—sometimes alive, sometimes seemlingly a corpse.
Asriya stares speechless for a moment. She pulls out a small glass marble that swirls with the 6 colors of elemental magic. Then laughs. She seems a little off her rocker. "What did I miss? Why didn't it work?"
And then vines shoot up and grab her around the waist and left wrist. Enter "initiative".
The Zaratan is pissed that anyone would try to capture it, and now that the party's safe haven has been opened it can reach in and grab them all, pull them tight and kill them with acid.
Either Kallista or Korinth can open a rift. If Korinth opens it, directions must be pretty explicit or he'll take them to his home first. Kallista:

Vira's Rest
Asriya Ingen gives a wry laugh that falls away to exhaustion. She needs a nap before she completely loses it.
That gives the party some time with her sleeping to talk about whatever they need to. It'd only be a hour.
Asriya wakes and contacts Syl to let her know she can stop her search, she's found them. Then she contacts Junaer Drammen to ask if he can report the time and if anyone was currently using the Convocation Chamber, and if so, replay the plan to distract them.
It will be occupied by a group of students. Junaer will distract them in 30 minutes; the fastest he can get there.
They descend and wait until they don't hear anything at the simple wooden door.
They pass the murals painted on the stark white walls. Less painted, more stained? it's very flush to the wall, no extra texture. Note that most of the images contain reptilian eyes watching from the earth and sky.

• A clash of Vira landing a blow and receiving one from an enormous gold dragon.
• A distance attack against a white dragon that looks to be bleeding and falling atop a very tall light-grey mountain.
• A scene very familiar to Sil'Ferrous; a swamp with drooping trees in the foreground and Vira, Zaru, and Dolgos (staff now tipped in glowing red) surrounding and striking down a huge black dragon.
• Battle atop an obsidian mountain, Dolgos casting a huge protective dome with one hand and with his staff stabbing straight into the heart of a huge red dragon.
• An assault on a blue dragon, vira guiding others on ropes pulling it down (doesn't seem to be holding it) while Zaru (green orb now embedded in greatsword) is leaping through the air to land the blow. (they do not manage to get the heart before the Himmelafs)
• Vira plunging her spear into the chest of the green dragon, generals fighting off plant creatures and elementals.
• Vira (spear now adorned with a oblong blue gem) and generals leading the charge into the jungle with a green dragon looming in the trees.
• Vira standing victorious, spear raised and holding a blue oblong sphere in her other hand.
• Vira and a huge bronze dragon locked in combat.
• Them marching across the sand to the ocean with a larger following, facing down a chaotic swirl of the elements.
• Vira and Zaru (elf, long white hair, greatsword, no great armor like he has now), Etanro (tabaxi, lots of white fur, parchment and scroll in hand), and Dolgos (triton, staff in hand) united together under her spear.

Simple wooden door that leads to the convocation chamber. It's empty, save for an average height man in a heavier coat. He's by the door. Nods and leads them out.
