Taster......... ![]() A little in front of D'Scover a thin trickle of ash began to fall from the air. Though it seemed to have no origin it very quickly grew and angry red sparks danced over the surface.

With a final flourish of curling smoke and sparks a stunningly beautiful woman appeared in front of them.
