	''Larweiaen Report 3'': That very night, Larweiaen demanded the halfling thief reveal the resting place of the gnome. The halfling showed Larweiaen a deserted field which she assured was covered with illusionary magic, but that somewhere in the field the gnome slept, for he slept beneath the earth. Larweiaen thus broke an aqueduct and flooded the plain, and he began digging where the water fell. Discovering a tiny tunnel, Larweiaen crawled with the halfling until he found a macabre chamber with the little girl (still serene and untainted looking) bound to a pole, and an unnatural looking astral-projected gnome seeming to sleep in a pile in front of her. Attempting to release her, he was suddenly challenged by a hideous and impossibly large grin from the gnome, which immediately transformed into a giant white mole with vile eyes and blood in its mouth. Larweiaen battled the monster, wounding its dark muddy flesh, and stole the little girl back. Clawing his way from the earth, Larweiaen was met by a wall of terrors and evils conjured from the darkness of night, and so he fled. Running with the girl in his arms for many miles, Larweiaen at length came upon magical horses, seized one, then mastered it and rode it back to the domain of the Brave Lord in all haste, fearing the spells of the evil gnome. The magic of the gnome followed Larweiaen, even amidst the plains of paradise, for the following night a great wall of black demonic shadows threatened to overwhelm him, but the celestial girl in his custody, unmoved and unblemished from all occurrences, radiated a great ruby aura, and burned the evil shadows away, all while remaining perfectly serene and unperturbed.

		+	'''The Hexiad, as Described by the Forgiven Thinker'''
		+
		+	Delia: ''The greatest of them is Delia, the Paraclete, an elven princess. Beauty, puissance, war, love and majesty are her domains. Through her chiefly may one pray for intercession from the Black Fire, and in all the Multiverse, she is the Deputy and Vice Regent of the Black Fire, and closest to the One.''
		+
		+	Karbanion: ''Then next is the Whispering Bard, whose mortal name is unknown and denied to me. His mystery is deep, but he is a very great player of music, though he sings no words, save for whispers beneath his breath. But he is also a very great druid, and with his strings once ruled all the druids of Concordant Opposition, the heart of Divine Nature. But he has found his own freedom as a transcendent hierophant of his order. To him all Nature has been given as his his domain, and all worlds and universes can be seen through his eyes. His music follows the very chords of existence, and with universal music he shall play on the chords of fate of all, in service to the One. Magic and regeneration are also his domain, so that all may know the magic woven into all things, and so that none may reduce Nature in his despite, as all things shall grow by his will, in service to the One.''
		+
		+	Nelda: ''Next in precedence is the halfling Nelda, the thief. Skill and ownership are her domains, as well as desire for personal possessions, as well as flippancy and chance. Humor and hardness fall under her, but most of all the vicissitudes of fate are bound by her thieving hand and dagger. The lock and key are given to her, and although small commands and possesses more than most any can know or imagine.''
		+
		+	Belmona: ''Fourth is Belmona, the dead halfing knight and priestess. Though dead, as a petitioner she lives again. Death, rebirth and resurrection are her domains, as well as is faith and devotion. She is the servant of nature, and patroness of priests. She is also MIstress of Motherhood, and alone of the Six she in her life had children, and they and their line live on in perpetuity. Hope and salvation is gate which she opens and guards, and womankind shall find their grace through her. Her sign is the Rabbit, as quickness and fecundity is her servant.''
		+
		+	The Jet Knight: ''The fifth and least is the Jet Knight. The son of an aasimon warrior and drow drawn from darkness, he is a heroic paladin, riding a black unicorn in white gold. Heroism and valor are his domains, but also folly and shortsightedness. Though physically the most powerful of the six, save for Delia, he is the least of them, for not through such force shall the multiverse be truly governed. Soldierly is his, service, and the mundane of existence, though he ever aspire higher. His is also fondness of riches and splendor, which he governs, as well as the vanity of mortals and powers, though he be contrarily be thrift and humble in spirit despite his outer display of largesse and pride. Controversy is his, rage is his, spite and endurance. The aggrieved call for justice, and both fair justice and violating vengeance are his, as the One decrees.''
		+
		+	The Nameless Evil Gnome: ''But the Sixth and last is separate. In power, skill and combined might he is the greatest, even beyond Delia, but he is accounted separately, though part of the Six. He has no true name I know, for ever his name is false, and ever he deceives. Ever he may come in false forms, though such forms always be small and petty, as he is. But though small his shadow is very great, and may be weaved over all things, even false worlds and universes, to deceive even grandest and vainest mind. In defiance and treachery he serves the One, but whether in lying service, open rebellion, or secret plotting, all that he does is never in despite of the One's will. Evil for evil's sake is his. He is the cheater of life and death, the trickster and charlatan without peer. or pity He is the servant of a false Power, the Gnawer in the Dark, of unrestrained greed and violence without cause. Though he ultimately knows the Truth, and despite all his treachery and power, he cannot outwill the will of the One. Ultimate despair and misery are his, and all things evil, and all the Lower Planes and death. He is the curse of hate, and the servant of Doom. But he is also mystery, and the Diver in the Dark, who through dark waters remains unseen, slipping past all boundaries to explore all realms, from the lowest secrets to all but the loftiest peaks, though he himself is ever trapped and marooned, and may never truly touch and feel the Light most high. He is regret and murder, and is ecstasy in blood. His order among the Six is unknown, for he hides and deceives, and one never knows truly where he lies, save that it is always in darkness.''

Larweiaen detects an issue, sensing a lie and seeing that Mr. Wayfair cast a shadow in the light of pearly light of the Third Gate. He grabs Mr. Wayfair, suspecting him of evil. Mr. Wayfair enspells Larweiaen to paralysis, but not before Demetrius is brought to the ready, coming forth to fight. Determining the halfling woman is Belmona, Demetrius attacks her mercilessly, accusing her to be a thief, and quickly slays her. Demetrius then faced Adolphus, who was angered at Belmona's death. Adolphus was quickly defeated himself, but allowed to escape, fleeing up through the Third Gate. Demetrius then faced Mr. Wayfair, who was quickly destroyed himself, but not before cutting Demetrius' left arm off with a spell. Upon his destruction, Mr. Wayfair's illusions evaporated in black smoke, his body collapsing into a pile of withered blue ice. In the aftermath, Larweiaen recovers his senses, and discussing the matter with Demetrius, decides to chase after Adolphus, to learn what he can from him.		?
