All:
From within the mists begins a kaleidoscope of flashing lights as if the cavern was on the inside of an inward reflecting mirror ball.

#s://i~ibb~co/L8jQXPk/vizier-kromulus~png Brian:Cautiously moving forward into the mists, Brian finds a wizened, bearded, turbaned man holding on to the chest who is wrestling over control of it with an invisible foe. He hisses, and jerks on the box left and right, hoping to pull it out of the other's grasp. "Not...for..you..this time..." he gasps.I frown a bit at this. I have no idea which of these sides is trustworthy or not. I don't even know if either is. "Hold. Do you have claim for this thing?Do you have a cause to claim it?" I Grab the box. and hold myself firm to it. I position myself so I can opt to help one or the other. Or possibly pull it to me. "People have died for this thing. That means its likely dangerous."

Dio:As she flees, the sound of all three combatants fighting each other in a free-for-all erupts between them. Free of the fighting she gets her wings and above the mess, she sees little through the thick fog below. The edge of the cavern still holds the while light outline of a man and his more solid companion. Both look down onto the mists and the man gives her a salute with his sword. Looking at the two men on the edge she frowns. What is their part in this. A moment ahe looks down wondering who would win. Mother Superior, the General or the huge demon. When looking back to the men on the edge she figures what the hell and flies towards them. At that point only to be surprised by the kaleidoscopic lights. A shocked look to the men on the edge to see of it is them doing this.

#s://i~ibb~co/18nVMHw/edmund~png Hammett & Lorelei: He spits purple flames amid broken teeth as he talks. "Good job on the assist, but I was just maneuvering them to where I wanted them; a couple more kicks, and I'd have been in a position to strike back. Now, where's my horse?"He begins to dissolve into purple dust, starting in a few places on his body. "Not again! Not until I find Pinewer!" he begs. Hammett begins to step towards the man, then stops, unsure what is happening. His first thought is some magical attack that landed a killing blow on Edmund, but the man's " Not Again" finally makes its way through the battle thoughts in Hammett's mind, giving him pause. Not again? So this had happened before? Was this not the real Edmund but some construct? A shapeshifted version of some kind? But he had never seen a shapeshifter turn to dust, let alone purple dust and purple flames. What kind of sorcery or curse was this? And purple flames... Wasn't the man on that unusual trump card he was given shooting purple flames from his mouth? [[OCC: he was, wasn't he?]] Then the kaleidoscope of lights begins to fill the area and Hammett spins around in confusion and care, fearing another round of attacks. What the hell was going on here? With no immediate threat apparent, he turns back to Edmund, but he has no idea how to assist the man. This type of magic was beyond his knowledge. So he keeps his sword up and on guard versus any possible attacks as he waits to see what will happen to Edmund.

#s://i~ibb~co/L8jQXPk/vizier-kromulus~png Brian:Brian grabs the box and feels the pulling on it, this way and that, as the old man and his unseen opponent pull on it. The two are surprisingly strong and Brian has to use most all of his strength to keep a hold on to. "I have a greater claim than any other," the man weezes. "Release it to me and save yourself from the danger."

Hammett and Lorelei:
Edmund continues to dissolve into purple smoke until there is nothing left. The crazy lights still spin about the cavern.
The colour of the flames and dust are the same, and although it wasn't Edmund's picture on the tarot, it seems unlikely to have been a coincidence.
None of the demons fighting about in the fog stumble into where Lorelei and Hammett are standing. At least not yet.

Dio:
The man in green draws his sword; through her Logrus sight, Dio can see that it is a weapon of great power.
"Stay back, Lady from the Deepest Pit! We are only observers at this time. Turn your wrath towards those that mean you harm," he says.
The silhouette man stares at her with kaleidoscope eyes.

"I don't know the quarry we are fighting for. I might be of a mind to aid you...might be of a mind to aid the other. I might be of a mind to claim it for myself. Convince me why I should give it to you then?"

Turn your wrath towards those that mean you harm," he says. The silhouette man stares at her with kaleidoscope eyes. Dio halts herself in the air and keeps herself at the elevation she is, to look at both the men. Seeing the sword of great power she is silent for a moment. But when the silloutte looks at her she scowls a bit. "Observers shouldn't interfere, should they." She gestures to the silloutte and then to the mist and the kaleidoscopic lights down. "I have no mind of attacking you, i wanted to inquire what your parts was in this. And now i know. Observers with a loose interpertation of the word."She keeps her eyes on the two and now and then she looks down to search for a decent spot to land if she needs to drop herself quick.

As Edmund disappears on the breeze Hammett lets out a curse, then turns towards Lorelei, speaking loudly over the sound of battle, "Things are getting out of hand. We need to find Dorian and get the hell out of here."
He begins focusing on Dorian again, and using his Psyche and Shadow Seek ability, to hone in on Dorian's direction in the fog, and then begins heading in that direction, motioning for Lorelei to follow closely.

#s://i~ibb~co/L8jQXPk/vizier-kromulus~png Brian:"Liar! You wouldn't have come here and risked all this without knowledge of the device! The only deal you need to know of is that things will be better for you if I possess this rather than the other."The sounds of battle around them continue and seem to grow louder and more fierce.

Dio:
"While I do appreciate the dramatic effect of all the fogs and lights, be assured that it is not our doing. In fact, if you have a way to clear the fog it would be most beneficial to our observations." the man says.
The clear spaces are near to the edges of the chamber, including the large gap in the wall that has allowed two people and a flying horse through in this battle and a small oasis in the fog where Hammett and Lorelei are leaving to travel back into the mists.

Dio scoffs "If you wish to observe clear it yourself. We are not a puppet theatre for, whoever you are, to enjoy."Seeing Hammett and Lorelei she conciders a moment helping them but decides first to find a safe spot to land and find a way out of this pandemonium. Seeing the hole in the wall where the mountain climbing man was forcefully exited out of the fight. And the flying horse riding man entered she decides that, that seems a good place as any to land. Secure an escape route and then see if she can help pluck people out of the mist.

Hammett and Lorelei:
With Lor standing guard Hammett extends his senses outward and gets a rough idea where Dorian is. But then he senses another Dorian in the room, and then another, and then more. Multiple images of Dorian refract and move through the fog.
