Topic moved to spoilers forum... For the staff there is a special text in the special farportal encounter, which is so specially special I shall hide it even in the spoiler forum. I recommend not reading this unless you've actually experienced the encounter.


As you open the door you stare in amazement at what is beyond. A creature stands before you, with long tentacle-like appendages and a squat bump in place of a head. An intense aura of power radiates from this being unlike anything you've ever felt before. It can only be a Sher'Tul. A living Sher'Tul!

But your wonder is cut short as the Sher'Tul notices you, and you feel its intense concentration bear down on you like an unstoppable force. A voice in your head booms, "You should not be here. How di-" It stops abruptly, and its attention seems to turn to the staff in your hands. "How did you get that?! You fool, you do not what forces you play with! Get it away from here - BEGONE!"

A wave of mental and magical power blasts into you with the might of a falling star. You are lifted into the air, and intense pressure bears down on every inch of your skin, threatening to crush you into nothingness. You try to resist for a moment, until--

<continue>


You wake up suddenly next to your farportal with a pounding headache. Your cheeks feel wet, and touching them you see your fingers stained red - you have been crying tears of blood. A dark and terrible memory lurks at the back of your mind, but the more you try to remember it the harder it becomes, and slowly it fades completely, like a dream.
