Considering this event is farther down the road in the campaign, I worked out 2 scenerios for the player playing the Elan in the group... If he is alive by the time the event happens or if his character has passed on and he is playing something new.
((Cadmus Alive))
As you enter the room, you see 6 circles with psionic markings, each a differnt color (Red, Purple, White, Green, Blue, and Yellow). Floating in beams of iridencent light are several people with hair and clothing color matching their respective circles. You notice only five people surround the red circle.
SPOT CK 35: You all see vaguely visable figures of a red-haired man, a purple haired elven maiden, a green haired half-elf, a white haired dwarven maiden, a blue haired man, and a blond elven maiden. They are standing with their eyes closed within the circle matching their colors.
Cadmus, you are struck with a unbearable pain and drop to your knees. Everyone else, you see Cadmus collapse to his knees and his eyes are glowing red.
Cadmus = You see the ghostly form of Ruiadhri standing in the middle of the circle. As you look around, you see the other gods.
Ruiadhri frowns as he sees your pain. You are free to speak to him.
He explains that, in essence, Elans are components to a spell that will bring him and the others back to the physical plane. He's pretty sure that the elans will cease to be in the process. Ravin suddenly intervenes and tells Ruaidhri to hold his tongue.
Damn it, Ravindra... Cadmus and the others aren't playthings for us to cast aside. They have lives and feelings... Nehushta was right.
That brass is idealistic and foolish. Ardwyad, Phyrrus and I made the council to make sure you all didn't do anything fool-hardy.
Look where it got us! You know what? Why don't you go and drop from the sky, Ravin.... I wont hurt the very beings that worship me.... I'll find my own way to come back.
You've chosen your path, Ruaidhri.... And it is no longer with us. Farewell.
Ravindra turns her attention skyward and starts chanting in a strange language. The other four dragons join in.
The rest of you see the other five circles flash and the light blinds you. You hear several cries of pain that fade to five cries of triumph. The thirty people have vanished and in their place are a purple haired elven maiden, a green haired half-elf, a white haired dwarven maiden, a blue haired human, and a blond elven maiden.
The blond woman looks to Cadmus and the other Elans. She sighs. Without a word, she and the others vanish.
Cadmus passes out and five of the other elans also drop to the ground.
"Cadmus and the others will be fine... I only wish the others could have found another way... Now I'm exiled from Anthesius.... Like it mattered"
OR
((Cadmus Dead))
The only thing that's different is Cadmus' body is among the Ruby Elans. The other Elans are spared and Cadmus' body lays cold on the ground, untouched by decay. The ghostly red-headed man stands before you and looks sad.
"I couldnt hurt them... or save Cadmus... Now I'm exiled from Anthesius.... Like it mattered."
((The reason the scenerios stop short is for impromtu talk and because I haven't thought of the rest of it))
