None of you know why you are here, so I will tell you before you decide you will join this. The Ancient Evil has risen again, a power so primordial and powerful that even the Prime Elements fear it. You do not know what it is for good reason, as it would strike fear into your hearts so deep that you would never sleep again. It has gained the power to be released from it's reality prison, which for those you have studied magic know that it is suppose to be impossible to achieve. Nobody else it to know this information. You all have been chosen to join an elite garrison, who will be made up of Gods, Demon Lords and you 5 if you chose to join. Death is highly likely, but do not worry, think of it as a game, you have 3 lives. I can call upon my power to resurrect you only twice before the Lord of Death will take your souls. We will be traveling through different realms, and different realities, until we are able to reach the Reality Prison. I do not know all of these realms, and the 2 that do we not tell us what to expect, otherwise it will shift the order of the universe. These 2 Prime Elements will lead us through though. Before I am allowed to continue, do you all vow to protect the realm? Will you stop this Ancient Evil no matter the cost, even if it is your lives? Will you swear to secrecy, telling no one the truth of what has been told today? Finally, will you join our Crusade, a Crusade through Time and Space?

Lilitu continues to listen carefully not speaking until the end... "are we crusaders then or are we pawns in a cosmic game of chess... we the five can die and come back twice as you say but what of you and yours m'lord as those such as you who are to guide and accompany us on this grand quest... does this same rule bind those we are to serve as well? I am also curious my lord if you will indulge this one but what is it you have to gain by this Crusade, how is this to benefit you and your brethren or do you perform this service out of the kindness of your hearts? Excuse my presumption my lord but I cannot help but feel there is more to this than you are saying or if we as mere mortals are even capable of comprehending the scale of all this in any event even if you enlighted us fully! But I am very curious as to why us... why are we mere mortals you have invited here so important... what is it specifically that each of us brings to this little venture of yours that you cannot deal with yourself?"
Atriax seems taken back by the comment, obviously no expecting it.
Unlike Gods and Demon Lords, Mortals are not restricted to what they can do and how they think. The God of Time cannot pause time whenever he wishes, as it would bring to much disaster to the realm. I have my reason for going, but they are not for the ears of mortals... but I guess a little bit of information will not hurt. There are many... 'generations' of gods. I am a second/third generation, a Primordial Element , which are the second generation, and a third generation, which was extra's. The second generation was the base of the universe, like time, space and life, while pain, agony etc are really not necessary, so they are third generation gods, as they came after the primordial elementals.

Lilitu nods as is satisfied with this response, her eyes once again lower... then she adds, "I understand m'lord, your interest in all this is personal then shall we say and leave it at that."
When doing rolls, I like to think of it as multi-rolls. If you do persuasion, you may roll investigation or perception to see how a person reacted when something was said or done. You don't need to do it, but I would just like to say that you can multi-roll for certain things to gain more information or different effects.

Lilitu merely sits back in her chair and takes out a small finely crafted nail file giving the others a chance to speak, satisfied that as mortal it is a useless exercise to seek more from and immortal than is what is freely given. As far as she can tell they must either choose to do or not do... that only by doing will they know what they are getting themselves into and by then it will, of course, be too late. Lilitu neither trusts or is overly impressed with Atriax or his companions. Like Fey politics its all smoke and mirrors, lights and glamour but here it is raw power... pure and simple politics of divine might!
Lilitu is loyal to her Mistress, her order and will take part in this little game as she has been instructed to do. Not for herself and certainly not for Atriax and whoever is pulling his strings. If they are displeased with her then they can tell her to leave or strike her down and kill her in an instant. So let the other mortals like herself ask their questions Lilitu will stand ready to accompany them on this Crusade but in her mind, she knows all that she needs or wants to know.
DM Notes: No additional rolls are necessary or desired. As stated Lilitu will patiently wait for the others to finish their talk and questions with Atriax and stand ready to accompany them when the time comes. Should Atriax or his companions have questions for her, she will, of course, answer them but wonders why given their great powers, shouldn't she be as transparent to them that they should not be required. So will wait things out and see what transpires...
A new figure walks in, one that startles all in the room. It was if Atriax had a twin, but there were obvious differences. His hair was raven black with bits of silver in it, tied up at the top of his head and flowing down to the middle of his back. Eyes that changed constant colors between red, silver, gold, blue and black gazed upon all in the room. His face was that of beauty, completely perfect in the sense that it was highly attractive. Wearing Armor Of Invulnerability, and a sword, katana styled, that seemed to suck in all light around it. Septria smiled when he entered the room, looking at his sword and back to him. His voice was almost identical to Atriax, but a bit more soft.
Are you boring them again, old man? We all know that it's almost your bedtime, so I can take it from here. The figure teased Atriax, one that made Atriax smile.
Atriax leaves the room, walking out with a smile still on his face. Septria is still in the room, a smile also on her face. The figure starts to talk
Don't let that old man pull you guys down. He is all about secrets and 'protecting the universe' and all the crap. If you have any question about anything, come to me. All the other gods are the same, besides a few here and there. I won't hold back anything, unless I don't know something or i'm bound to a vow. Anyway, let's get us started. You will be joining a group of 4 gods at first, this will include Atriax, me, Infinia, and the forth is still undecided. We will set you guys up with some gear and other stuff, and don't worry, it is all new and shinny and you can choose. If there are any issues, come straight to me. Is there anything else I have forgotten? The figure seems to ask everybody but nobody at the same time.

I completely forgot to introduce myself! My apologies, I am a bit excited as you can see, usually I am quite serious and focused. I am a interesting being, due to my parentage. I am Visaroth, Son of Atriax and Ophinares. I am technically a second generation, and like my father, am unlike any other God or Demon Lord. I am both, but none. I choose to take my Demon heritage, so currently I am the crowned Prince, Lord of Combat and Manipulation, but due to my heritage, I am multiple things. My mother is the Goddess of Change, and since my father is both Demon and God, I have developed a nature unlike anything the gods have ever seen. My friend over there, Septria, can probably explain it a bit better than I if you wish, but I do not care if you do or don't purse the information, as it is really your choice. Anyway, we should probably get you guys geared up!
Along the walls, tables and stands appeared, all holding different things. Armor, Weapons, gear, basically anything the group could think of. The variety was endless.
OOC:
We are know getting you all geared up. If you could provide me with what weapons you wish to choose (as in, you want to short swords, and I will choose 2) and armor (If you prefer plate or leather etc), gear (I have a limit of about 500 g for gear, so tell me what you would like and I will tell you if you can), and anything else. I will tell you if you can or cannot have something.

"The only thing to fear is fear itself,
So while I might not fear a man, dwarf or elf,
My worries I cannot completely shelf,
For I am afraid to be afraid, myself."
Roberto frowns exaggeratedly.
And that's all I have to say about that.
The figure raises his eyebrows with obvious amusement
You will make a fine companion
Name one time I havent played a stealth like character that also isn't an elf.
"Fear is useful. It keeps you alive if you don't allow it to cripple you"
Roberto smiles artlessly.
And that's all I have to say about that.
Atriax face becomes a smile of pure evil.
You are correct, fear is very powerful.

Atriax straightened, serious once again. He began

Roll persuasion please. Advantage for playing on his emotions and motives.

Lilitu looks up at Atriax meeting his gaze with her soft innocent pale blue eyes as she finishes speaking her last question.
Player Notes: Persuasion Roll (Advantage) 33

"Thank you, son of Ophinares and Atriax,
Your generosity I will try not to overtax,
And I thank you for it, for I can always use gear,
And I am sure that some of the best is here!"
Roberto answers, smiling.
He moseys over and looks for studded leather armor. He also looks for a crossbow.
Roberto is hoping to find fashionable armor, but he'll settle for something functioning.
OOC: We also will keep our compatible starting equipment, correct?
And that's all I have to say about that.
Rapier, Studded Leather Armor, Hand Crossbow x2, Bolts, rest of the money can go into daggers....
