When it becomes apparent that Flute is exerting her power and preventing the Nefarious Duo from getting to the party, Vrox emerges from his hiding spot. He cries, "Praise be to Aphrael!" He stows his shield so that he can play along with his own pan flute: it's not every day that you get to make music with the gods!
Performance 29, advantage from Enhance Ability
While he plays, Vrox looks around at the transformed room, looking to see whether there's still an exit that would take them away from the Nefarious Duo. He's not entirely sure whether those two are come to Uhubreen, transforming it with their presence, or whether the Nefarious Duo pulled the whole party into their own realm to torment them. He suspects it's the former, in which case, perhaps they can just retreat back down the stairs to the south while Flute holds the Nefarious Duo back.
Perception 13
Concentration: Enhance Ability (Eagle's Splendor)
Apparently, Vrox is so absorbed in the "jam session" with Flute that he doesn't notice much else!
Azash and Slaanesh appear to become more frustrated as it seems the wall of force now encircles them, pinning them in place. Then behind you, a great shaft of golden light appears, and the warped walls much like a lava lamp, appear to be wrestling with the golden light until the room disappears, and you are all standing on an empty plain with blowing grass in the wind.
From behind you, Flute comes prancing out playing her flute, followed by two great dwarven figures wearing plate armor, one silver, one grey. Behind them comes a great warrior that looks like the Vikings of old, with a patch over his right eye, two crows on his shoulders, and a great spear. Then four more beings approach, heavily armored carrying great weapons that they place points down into the ground. The form a wall behind you, staring at the two contained Chaos beings.
Yoht murmurs in awe, "Grimnir!", the prince looking at the other dwarven figure, "Grungni!" Flute moves up to join the group, then stops playing and puts down her flute with her impish grins. "I brought my cousins this time, though the Troll Gods were being stuck up and didn't accept my invitation."
Khessa runs to Flute and ruffles her hair in a friendly way: "You did very well, little one! What are you planning now? Shall we all teach those two a good lesson together, shall we? Or can we keep them imprisoned where they are for all eternity—an eternity they'll no doubt find boring and incredibly frustrating?"
Azash and Slaanesh stare defiantly back at the host of deities standing behind you. "You were warned about interfering with the humans directly," rumbled one of the gods. "It seems time as dulled your senses and you don't recall what happened the last time you interfered and almost brought this world to ruin."
"Perhaps this time, we wipe out all of their followers, so they can't get their power and they will diminish, going back to the void. We should have never allowed any of their followers to live."
The Dwarven deity of the Golgari, Grungni, lifts his axe and points it at Azash. "You took my children, pulled them from their path. I have been waiting a long time to take a crack at splitting your ugly head open!"
The gods all lift their weapons and point them at the two. "So what say you, shall we finally dance after all of the years, and put it to a final test?"
Vrox stops playing his pan flute and stows the instrument. He quietly gets his Dragon's Wrath Longbow back out of his magic quiver and hides behind cover, as far away from the Nefarious Duo as he can. He waits to see whether this really turns into a fight between the gods and, if so, how he can help!
Khessa responds to the gods: "I fear it is inevitable, guys... Those two have amply demonstrated that they are beyond all redemption—and reason. If left alive, they would continue to be a threat to everyone and everything in the multiverse forever. This must end".
The blonde arcane warrior feels strangely calm as she says these words. After all, it's no different from so many other times, when she's faced some legendary threat to prevent it from harming the world and the common folk that inhabit it. Okay, so this time the enemies are the most dangerous she's ever encountered. They are deities. But knowing that there are other deities at her side... she has no fear and is ready, if necessary, to do her part.
