	The plan is for the party to get to the central dome two hours earlier and observe the "opening" at 10:30pm. To achieve this Dwork and Zanak stay behind to safe a few hours of petrifications. They instead decide to fly to the large Empire town and see what they can learn. With little planning they both fly straight to the town and attempt to land on the roof of a building. They seem to have forgotten the fact that an aerial assault is currently being waged by the Uplifted ship against the Empire defenders and they are both blown out of the sky. Zanak is vapourised but Dwork manages to resurrect in an alley. Some local boys see his badly burnt torso flopping around and call some guards. They don't recognize the Deathshead Auxiliary badges and put him out of his misery.		The plan is for the party to get to the central dome two hours earlier and observe the "opening" at 10:30pm.

	The remaining four adventurers make it through the final barrier at 7pm. They use an undetectable spell from Robert to remain hidden. Falco goes inside the central dome and DAs the sphere. It is activated on touch, so he does. He is teleported to a ~~cafÃ©~~ style room. It is quite homely looking but has nothing outside it except a void filled with stars. He can't cast any spells in here but he does figure out it was made by Oslow. It is obviously some sort of trap. Perhaps if he touched it after the "opening" it would have taken him somewhere more interesting. He eventually gets bored and goes to sleep. His day resets.

	Meanwhile Falcos rash action has been noticed by the 6 braided commander as a "disturbance". He sends some men to search the rest of the area. Robert, Theodonna and Koffi are forced to enter the dome as the troops outside tighten the cordon. A yellow gas fills the room and Robert falls to the ground asleep. He is quickly found by some guards (they tripped over his body). He is searched and then beheaded. The head is given to the commander who manages to pluck the truth of what is happening right from the grisly corpse. He calls for Theodonna and Koffi to show themselves. Koffi does while Theodonna remains hidden. Koffi answers the commanders questions and warns about the giant blue humanoid creatures and the exploding teddy bears. The commander is perturbed by all this news, especially since he has no idea is supposed to happen at 10:30. Theodonna becomes visible while he makes "certain changes" to the room so Mass Fear will have no effect in the dome.

	The uplifted commander continues to say they are here to help Oslow but the mad god interprets this as them wanting to get his power. The commander makes an innocent gesture to step closer to Oslow (to within 20 feet) and assist him. Oslow takes this as a hostile attack and gestures towards the roof. The green tiles flash and disappear. Each tile is replaced by a teddy bear or blue skinned humanoid which instantly attacks the 50 or so guards in the room. Some small rabbits appear and disappear, and then a multitude of mass fears are felt throughout the room. The troops die very quickly, as expected.

	Robert, Theodonna and Koffi are affected by the mass fears to varying degrees. Robert has a heart attack and dies. Koffi and Theodonna run wildly and eventually make it to safety in the bushes. Once the battles finish, in other words all the uplifted are killed, Theodonna and Koffi carefully approach the mad god but remain a good 40 feet away at all times. They talk to Oslow in gentle and reverent voices and coax some information out of him.		Robert, Theodonna and Koffi are affected by the mass fears to varying degrees.

	The uplifted are very potent magic users and excel at Telepathy and Precognition. They have an ability to change the future so fatal strikes appear to miss them. They often teleport behind you and attack with the element of surprise. Their most devastating spell is Disintegration and this is often used at great distances.

	The uplifted are identified by metal braids attached to their heads. The number of braids indicates some sort of rank. Rumour has it there are some Uplifted with 10 braids, although Borjanski has only seen a person with seven. Pulling the braids out seems to weaken them. Pulling the last one out kills them. ~~â€˜~~'These braids sound like antennae''.		The uplifted are identified by metal braids attached to their heads.

	The Empire has been invading many small axis (planes) in the last 4 centuries and they often encounter the Uplifted invading too. Neither of them is native to the axis we are being asked to go to. When the Empire invaded this axis the Uplifted were already there. The battle has raged for nearly 40 years and the Empire is definitely on the losing side, as it currently stands.

	Step has been hiding out on this island since he escaped the Empire forces who wanted him to study the Mind of God (MOG). People who can use MOG can draw on the power of a god to perform miracles.
