“Oh there you are! Krymp is my name and Krymp is who I am. Why are you here? You going to the Camp with the Masters?” He looks Merzin up and down “you don’t look like a fighter to Krymp...”
''Masters? Who are your Masters? And what camp are you referring to?''Merzin quickly turns to look at his companions after saying this, to see if they are thinking the same thing as he is.
Vox asks, "Have you seen a young lady pass through here recently? (Vox describes Marzira)... She, too, was a fighter and likely going to this... Camp... You mentioned."
The little imp looks to each one and tries to reply to their questions.
" The Masters are... the Masters of course... " he says to Merzin as if he has asked if the day is the day. " The Camp belings to the Masters, there they prepare their champions for the Leagues and the Matches and all of that... "
"Summoning? Krymp does not summon nothing. Krymp is a gatekeeper not a summoner. " it seems that Leto has offended him somehow by the way he raises his chin.
" Ohh the new Champion of the Masters.. yes.. yes.. .Krymp has seen her. They just went to the Camp. " he lowers his voice and whispers to Vox, using his hand as screen " Are you sure these two are fighters? they don't look too strong to Krymp and they seem to have no clue of what are they talking about.. "
The imp listens carefully to Vox, nodding in acknowledgment when he is describing the Quori.
"So... long quitinous body... " Vox nods " Dozens of small but strong and fast legs... " Vox nods " Two big arms ended in sharp claws as big as greatsword and as sharp as a dagger..."Vox nods. " Hmmm... no. Krymp has never heard or seen these."
" The camp is near the Masters Villa of course. And the gate leads to it. Where else?"
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
// Insight check on Krymp regarding the statement that the gate leads to the Master's Villa and camp.... 18... how truthful is Krymp being?
Vox comments to her compatriots as mush as she does to Krymp, "So basically, if we want to catch up to our friend - the 'new' champion - we have to go through the gate."
She turns fully to Krymp and asks, "Out of curiosity, what has happened to your Master's previous champions?"
The imp looks pretty truthful to Vox, thought the little devilish features are hard to read.
" Krymp doesn't know. The other champion went with the masters too. You now.. the big green one. Some come back with the Masters and leave. Some stay at the Camp... Some Krymp never see again. Nobody tells Krymp anything. Only orders to Krymp. Krymp open the gate. Krymp close the gate. Krymp clean that mess... "
"All kind... Krymp has to clean all kind of messes. Like this one!"he says pointing to the candles " You see? instead of beign back to the villa and resting Krymp has to be here in this disguting and smelly plane to close the door. Hmpf!"
Turning to his companions, Leto says "Well... it seems we found where she went at least..." and to the imp says "What will you do after you clean this up and close the gate?"
"Nobody has say that to Krymp! Everyone forgets about Krymp anyway. Krymp will go back to the Master's of course! Always work to do for Krymp! " he walks towards the last of the candles and leaning towards it, with its face illuminated from below he says " So... are you going to go to the Camp with your friend or no? Krymp hasn't got all day! "
With a sight the little imp moves his hand, waving it in a circle around himself and all of a sudden all the candles light up again as his hand moves.
"Step inside the circle then. " he says, flapping his wings to rise above all of them in the center of the circle of candles.
As they do he starts to mutter an incantaion in an strange tongue, his voice more deeply and cavernous that it was before, reverbering in the walls, floor and ceiling. As he speaks it seems that the flames from the candles jump out of it and start crossing the floor between the party's feet, making intricante patterns and symbols. The heat reaches their faces as the lines become brighter and brighter, till the point that they have to cover their eyes, both for the heat and the red brilliance.
Leto sees Krymp's face with a mischevious grin on it just before the red light explodes in a flash of light.
They feel themselves burned to the bone as well as pulled away from their bodies and then thrusted back into themselves. All in just but a second.
When they gasp for air, opening their eyes they see they are in a strange place.
The sky is red, covered with strange black patterns, as if they were high stirred clouds of black smoke. There is no visible sun or moon in the sky. They are standing in a black rock, in the middle of a circle of slowly burning and decreasing flames that resembles the one Krymp conjured. Looking around they see that they are in the middle of a small clear in a groove of black, charred pines that looms forty feet or more above their heads. There is only one visible exit from the grove, at their backs. Almost twenty feet away they can see that the ground ends, dissapearing in the red void. There is no chasm or another edge of a cannyon, the land just dissapears there and there is only the red sky with the strange black scars that move slowly crossing it.
While they are contemplating it they hear something at their backs, from the groove it seems that something is approaching, They can distinguish seveereal creatures closing in fast.
Taking a deep breath and almost enjoying the fiery warmth, the Tiefling says "Seems we've been sent to a hell of some kind. Feel alright there Hulud?" looking up to his familiar, which is now in his 'natural' imp form, sitting on his shoulder. Then, seeing the creatures fast approach, grips his staff firmly, which gives off a small glow, and casts Fly on himself. He then floats 30 feet straight up, to give himself both range, and a better view of the area.
Hulud nods with a worried expression on his face. It seems that the abyss is not a place he would like to return.
”Seems si Master. Still I am not sure... “
The tiefling flies up and gets a better view of the whole area.
It seems that they are in an island, an island floating in a vast red void.
The groove covers half the island but clears half a mile in front of them. There there is a big mansion, or a palace. Leto can see it’s fine architecture, great glass windows evenly distributed on its black rock, maybe obsidian, construction. It must have at least three stories and its plant has the shape of a seven pointed star. From that distance it seems that the entire building was sculpted from a single piece of rock instead of built. He also sees great gardens, perfectly taken care of behind the building. He can see several figures in one of the garden doing a series of coordinated movements. between the wood and the first garden there is a great labyrinth made of tall walls of what seems to be barbed branches, but they appear to be well kept and ante covered by black leaves. He is about to gain more height to get a better view of the labyrinth when he sees at least half a dozen creatures closing in towards his friends. They seem to be dark, big wolves. Suddenly a powerful gust of wind hits him, throwing him away, another gust then comes from the opposite side, hitting him with the strength of a fist and throwing him on another direction. He tries to keep his concentration but it’s hard with the wind moving him like a toy throwed by a group of childs playing.

"I guess I often confuse gate keeping with summoning... Regardless, did that creature come through your gate a few days back?" Leto asks.

“What creature? What is he talking about to Krymp?” He asks to Vox

Vox describes the creature to the imp, and then says, "And trust me... These two are fighters - deceptively strong in unconventional ways."
"So, Krymp - where is this camp? And, out of curiosity, this gate that you are managing - where does it lead to?" Vox asks.

Leto also sighs, mutters to himself, and commands Hulud to appear back on his shoulder in raven form. He then follows Vox.
