The Suburban City Area: Eudial, Khloe, Playzooki, Vengeance, Marissa, Leland Gaunt and Cleo

As the others arrive they pass through the strange barrier and join the team, much as there seems to be a great deal of distrust between the group, with those associated with Vengeance and those associated with Eudial seemingly not seeing eye to eye. However, strangely the entire group finds themselves ready to start doing some mundane activities and ignore the strange shield overhead and the beings supporting it. All except Cleo, who feels strange psychic energies washing over her like a wave, trying to surpress her will do notice anything - almost reflexively her own telepathic powers push back against it and there is a distant psychic yelp of surprise. The group are suddenly more aware of their surroundings once more, evidently whatever telepathy was at work is no longer functioning.

This however seems to apply to the others around them as well as the crayfish, duck family, triceratops-lady and cyborg suddenly look around in confusion. It is however Mr Duck who suddenly locks his sights on the party, with a furious expression in his eyes and waddles over to the group, and the Professor in particular:

"What the hell do you think you are doing?! Do you think this is funny?! There is enough worry going on round here without scaring children by dressing up as Vengeance! The last thing my little ducklings need to be thinking is that the third coming of the prophet is upon us and the world truely is ending! Shame on you! Shame on you all!"

The Arrival Room: Twitch
Sirens start to blare, and a small hatch opens, seemingly some kind of bunker - evidently whatever is going to happen is very dangerous for Twitch if he doesn't do something soon!

The Other Side of the Mountain: Spod
Lumbering in exactly the opposite direction of the others, Spod passes though a jam barrier of his own and arrives in a very different place to the others. This place is rundown, clearly very poor and pretty dirty. Graffiti is symbols that Spod doesn't recognise cover all surfaces, and various beings, presumably homeless are clustered around an equally homeless looking Fire Elemental to keep warm.

There is a heavily re-enforced looking building nearby, with metal grills across all of the windows, and a sign in the window suggesting that you buy the new KING INDUSTRIES products.

A trio of swaggering individuals catch sight of Spod and seem to change their course to intercept, although what their plans are is unclear right not. They are lead by a creature that looks very much like a female centaur with a leather jacket, if the horse parts of a centaur were a rusty looking robot, flanked on the right by a Werewalrus who is playing with a flickknife and a zombie who appears to be following them around...

Above the Mountain: Aurelia

Aurelia stares down - it won't be too long before the beings are there, and she notices that some of the seams in the armour appear to be opening up across the monumental being, with strange flickering pale light shining through the gaps.
