She tilts her head at the question and begins pacing.
"Hmm, my name? I must admit it has been some time since I've had a name to be addressed by. I've had many titles that mortals deemed fit to give me; The Lady of the Night Sky, The Dream Eater, She Who Hung the Stars in the Sky, The Lady That Brings Sleep, and; oh what's the most recent one?" She snaps her fingers as she thinks.
"Oh! I remember now. 'The Self-Made God' Ha ha. I actually like that one. But for now you may call me Aurora. As for where you are, like I said earlier, you are in my home. What you mortals call the Realm of Dreams."
Lari steps from the shadows. "Hello, Lady Aurora." He gives a low bow. "I'm Saccularius. Quick question. What if I don't want to go back? ...That is, what if I don't want to go back to exactly where I was before I came here?"

"As I have said before, if you complete the task I have for you, you will be granted a boon. My actions are not limited to this realm alone and should you wish to be somewhere else when I return you I will do what is needed to fulfill that wish."
"I see. Can we have a little something now. I mean, we need to make sure you are who you say you are, and that you have the power to do what you say you can." Lari quickly adds, "Not that I don't believe you, but how do we know this isn't some elaborate illusion?"

"You want some sort of demonstration of my powers. Very well. I hope you do not get seasick easily." She raises her fingers and snaps. The spot where Lari once stood is now empty, only faint scorch marks now stain the ground.
For Lori:
You are thrown off your feet and met with a hard wood floor. Around you, you hear yelling and the sounds of heavy equipment being moved. People move all around you threatening to step on you if one person makes a wrong move. All of a sudden you feel too strong hands pull you to your feet. Before you is the same elf you were just speaking to, but she's different. Her skin has more color to it and her eyes, she actually has eyes, are a bright lively green. Her outfit is completely different as well. Gone are the tattered robes replaced by a more fancy-looking sailor's outfit. She catches your gaze and smiles brightly, teeth a pearly white.
"Blimey, yous a new one ain't ye? Still ain't got ye sea-legs. Well it don't matter how new yous is, ye gotta get up and pull ye weight." Her voice is heavily accented and disjointed, nothing like the proper way she spoke from before hand. She hands you a rope pointing to a nearby mast. At this moment you realize you are on a ship out at sea. The hot sun beats down on you, the heat making you uncomfortable as waves rock the boat back and forth. The elven woman begins to say something else to you but is cut short by another crew member crying out to her.
"Captain Avery! We need you to take the helm!" With that the woman runs off.
Back with the group, Aurora turns to look at Byg'wigg over her shoulder.

Quintoc, you have heard tales of a goddess known as The Lady of the Night Sky. Stories tell that she was once an elven woman who, through her studies of the arcane and her planar travels took control of the Realm of Dreams and ascended to god-hood. Some folktales say she hung the stars in the night sky to help guide lost travelers home. She is a very popular with children who pray to her for good dreams, as well as sailors who pray for peaceful nights out on the water. You're not too sure what the symbols on the cultist outfits mean, but you get the feeling that its not really a proper religion in the traditional sense.
Byg’wigg looks to the scorch mark with wide eyes, “Byg’wigg not need demonstration. Byg’wigg take word for it.” Byg’wigg gives a small hand over his heart, “Byg’wigg remember you fondly whats-you-face. You were bestest servant.” A moment passes before he spins to point at Dazzle, “Dazzles! You new favorite!”

He feels the rope in his hands, the heat of the sun, and the rocking deck beneath his feet and decides it's definitely real enough to him. He shouts to the sky, "I believe you now!"
He looks around and says, "Well at least it's warm." He puts down the rope and follows after the captain.

"Ah your friend believes me. I shall retrieve him." She snaps her fingers again, and suddenly Lori is back in place.
For Lori:
Lori as you go to climb the stairs to follow the woman your foot finds no step and you are falling through the floor. You hear the sounds of the crew, the ship, and ocean fade away above you. The heat is replaced by freezing cold and then you are standing in the stone room again, more than little woozy from the experience of being moved around like a rag doll.
"My apologies, I forget how jarring that can be for some. Fair warning should I need to move any of you for any reason it will feel much like a upset child is tossing you around. You will get used to it eventually."
"If what you say is true Lady Aurora then I will do whatever you wish so that I can see my wife to be again." Ivellios pulls out his moontouched Longsword sticking it into the ground and kneeling in front. Looking down "All I ask Lady Aurora, is that you tell my Charlotte that I'll return to her."

Lari stands with his hands on his knees for a minute to catch his breath. "That's comforting I guess." He caughs. "You know I meant like a magic bow so I can shoot things? Things like those guys you want us stop."

I bow my head. "Lady of the Night Sky, you brought me dreams as a child. Perhaps, you will grant me a new one when the time comes. I am at your service."
"Hmm. Well that was rather easy, the last few groups always kicked up a fuss. Alright then." She snaps her fingers once more and door on the left swings open.
"Whenever you are ready enter through that door and begin your descent. There are a few things you need to know before leaving this room though. One, Upon leaving this room you submit yourself to the whims of this world, dreams are often places of both chaos and strange laws. Do not expect everything to make sense here. Two, I will not be able to help you right now. As I said earlier I am in the middle of a delicate procedure that requires my full attention, even speaking to you now is risking failure. Three, time means little here, you could spend years here and only a few seconds would have passed in the physical plane. However, since you are my invited guest, death means little to you here as well. Should one of you die you will awaken back in the physical plane with no memory of this place or myself. Now that should be everything. If you have any other questions ask quickly. This form is failing me and I will not be able to hold it together for much longer."

Lari relaxes the tension on his bow string so that he can point at Byg'wigg. He casts message and whispers, "Ask her who she is and where we are."
