You decide that Eshami’s connection to the Gods — as well as her healing magic — would be invaluable to you in this adventure.

You kneel down and gently hold Eshami’s chin, guiding her to stand with you. “I’d appreciate your guidance in this quest,” you say to her. She blushes slightly.

With the one hand holding Grand Hierophant Eshami, you reach out to the angel with the other. The moment your hands touch you feel a pulse of energy — electricity? Your vision blurs as crackling sounds invade your ears from all around you. A swirling cloud of smoke blinds you and stings your eyes.

This is no normal teleportation magic!

Your eyes readjust to your new, darker surroundings. The sounds around you have changed into intermittent sparking sounds, like tiny lightning bolts. The lights flicker off and on, and everything sounds a little muffled, muted.
