    "Indeed," Sarrazin agrees. "It is of a kind that is used to persist a spell well beyond when it should have ceased to function. I have heard that these things are often kept near interdimensional portals to keep them open indefinitely. In other words, we may have found ourselves an interdimensional door stop. The only question is whether we should try and destroy it straight away, or try to bring it through to Senra and destroy it there."

    Sarim looks at the crystal inquisitively, then with distaste hearing its purpose.

    "I would vote smash now, but like Sarrazin said it might be good to go home first. If we get stuck, even I can't carve up demons forever. I got a clan who'll miss me after a few years, 'n' I ain't lettin' me brother be the leader if I c'n help it."

    Avita closes her Spectral Hand around the crystal. "Excuse us; we'll be speaking to you from another place." And then starts gesturing with her withered hand. "Everyone back through the portal! Now!"

    And then; as the airships close in, speaking to the crystal; "Excuse me? What would you like to discuss?"

    Avita's summoned hand wraps around the crystal, pulling on it, but the crystal resists. It doesn't seem immovable, but some force or other is definitely fighting to keep it in its place. Kremp stands by the portal, gesturing furiously for you all to go through.

    "If such is your inclination, Captain, I suggest less talk and more action," Sarrazin says curtly. "Sarim, help the Captain move the crystal. Avita! Last chance to tell us what's going on. If the crystal isn't moving in the next thirty seconds I'm going through the gate and damn the consequences!" Having said his piece, Sarrazin stomps over to the crystal and tries to push and pull it towards the gate.

    Sarim sees everyone struggling with the crystal and steps closer, noticing even Avita's spectral hand tugging at the crystal with some difficulty, then looks back at the portal.

    "Is it really that heavy? I'll get it!" He offers while reaching for the crystal with one hand.

    Avita raises her eyebrows. "What am I doing? Grasping at straws; that's all we've got left." She does what she can to push the entity through the portal (even through if I'm not sure that's even possible) and sighs.

    "Everyone, feel free to leave now. I'll stay if I have to"

    You all gather around the crystal, trying to push and pull it towards the portal. Finally, it begins to budge, though the going is slow. With all of you, you are able to pull it closer down to the ground and overpower the force holding it in place. It is as if something invisible is struggling against you. Corporal Kremp anxiously stamps her feet for a moment, then rushes over to add her efforts. It makes a peculiar scene, six grown men and women pouring all their strength into a tiny lump of crystal.

    Suddenly, the heart of the crystal momentarily glows with bright light, before a narrow beam of green energy erupts from it and arcs towards Pamela. She sees it coming, and sidesteps just in time - where the beam strikes the ground behind her, a clean hole is blasted several inches into the stone.

    The crystal begins to glow again...

    "That does it!" Sarrazin snarls. His left hand flares as he wills forth his master's hellfire and smashes his fist into the crystal.

    Spoiler: Sarrazin's temper tantrum
    Show
    Sarrazin is attempting a decisive strike unarmed attack, infused with hellfire.

    His damage is 2d6+4 bludgeoning damage plus 1d6 hellfire damage (which deals full damage to objects, see FC II, p. 119). If the crystal counts as an inanimate object, he'll also go full Power Attack, increasing his bludgeoning damage by +6 (+3, doubled for decisive strike) to 2d6+10 and lowering his attack bonus to +3.

    Do I need to roll the attack roll? Feel free to roll damage for Sarrazin if that's even possible.

    "Hmm..." breathes Avita, vaguely. Her right hand, her skeletal hand, passes before her mouth.

    "I'm not entirely sure if that's a tell. Stern Lady knows, i've been wanting to kill Pamela myself.". Her left hand, her cold iron hand, spreads its fingers a little.

    "However, for the team-" her Spectral Hand descends upon the crystak, radiating black energies.

    Sarrazin’s swings his fists; his knuckles are the worse for wear, but a long crack appears down the crystal. Avita’s injection of energy creates a spiderweb of smaller cracks, and finally the defeaning boom from Pamela shatters it. It explodes violently, sending tiny but jagged shards of crystal every which way. Sarrazin takes the worst of it, receiving a dozen tiny cuts in his exposed skin.

    No more than a moment later, you hear Corporal Kremp scream in alarm. ”The portal!” she gasps, pointing towards the archway. Fion has seen it too. As soon as the crystal was shattered, the portal began to flicker and fade. It’s edges are rapidly shrinking, as the whole thing blinks in and out of existence, the mess of colours becoming even more erratic and turbulent.

    The airships are getting closer.

    Sarim shields his eyes from the crystalline shards exploding all over, then at Sarrazin's urging he makes full speed for the portal like everyone else.

    In short order, you all throw yourselves into the portal. Each of you tumbles head over heels through the same chaotic colourscape, though this time it seems far more violent - gusts of energy that blow you around, bright flashes of colour, a high pitched screeching, and the feeling of intense heat and cold at once. After a trip that seems neither long nor short, but still longer than you would like, you feel a shove on your back and come tumbling out of the portal. You find yourselves lying in the mud by the edge of the portal, back in the sewers of Senra once more.

    But things are not quite as you left them. You can hear the sound of many boots splashing through the mud towards you. Pulling yourself to your feet, you are vaguely aware of movement in the darkness, just beyond your vision. Faintly but unmistakably, the earth is shaking.

    Corporal Kremp springs to her feet, pulling out her sword and looking around for sign of attack. None immediately presents itself, though all of you are sure you can see hunched figures skittering about in the other tunnels, and on the scaffolding.

    "Home, sweet home? At least for the rest of you," Sarrazin says, rising to his feet. "I don't know about you, but I don't recall fighting any demons that wore boots. So if there's a large force with boots on heading this way, I'd say the odds are decent that they're the valiant defenders of this fair city. Or Pelorite fanatics..."

    Turning around, he risks a quick look at the portal to see if it seems closed from this side as well.

    "I have no flesh that isn't untorn...", the voice is a whisper.

    Avita went through the portal head-first and wound up landing badly on a floor of cold and stinking stone. And she's only slowly now pulling herself to her feet, her hands gripping each knee in turn as bones and joints crack.

    She clicks her knees as she gets to her full height, and her head swivels to watch the progress of the portal. "Oh. We actually accomplished something. That's new". She puts a hand on her chest, the other on her hip, facing Sarim and Fion. "Gentlemen? If we have to cut ourselves out of here, rest assured I'll be right behind you" And she fires a blast of back energy into her chest.

    [Self-healing for (1d8+1)[9]

    "Or. Until we reckon what's approaching, we could at least try to hide."
