I can try and counter what I think the spirits are doing to throw us off, I think...

@Multifarious

It may be our best option. I have confidence in you.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

... He may still be here. Our perception is just being messed with. I definitely feel the presence of someone.

@Multifarious

You practice these arts. Can you do something to escape this? I can hold my own until then.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

*Streaks of solid black and solid white light flow in tandem with the wind as the fog seems to drop and settle, not resting any higher than a couple feet off the ground, revealing totally empty, dead silent plains*

@Valiance

Can the master of the hidden elements not make himself known?

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

*Tenses up and braces as my ear twitches*
I’m not a fan of this.

@Multifarious

This has continued to grow more dangerous.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

*The wind picks up a bit from the left*

@Valiance

*Glances in the direction of the wind*
Show yourself! This is critical!

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

*Looks around*
Where did he go?

@Multifarious

*Shouts*
Rythian!

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

... I see...
*Follows after you, as we emerge back into the field from before, now dark as the dead of night and incredibly foggy*

@Multifarious

I leave the rest in your capable hands.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

*Opens up the portal through which to do so at a point on the ceiling with a black ellipse*
How likely are actions here to have real world consequences, again?

@Multifarious

That is an unknown probability at this stage.
*Jumps through the portal*
I advise you to not take any action you are certain you would regret!

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

*Turns a moment after you and runs in that direction*

@Multifarious

If the worse arises, perhaps Rythian will assist us.
*Ascends toward the surface*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Multifarious>

*Hands the book I'm holding over to you*

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

You two head back to Rythian and force that exception fast.

@Unhinged

Let's go.
*Starts walking back the way we came*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

It doesn’t even make sense that it knows of Rythian is the thing.
*Looks up*
I think it would be better if we tried to break out of here rather than fight. I haven’t forgotten that you aren’t in prime condition at the moment.

@Multifarious

*Nods*
Unfortunately, that is correct. My output is limited at the moment. But we need to keep up our guard.
