Bringing in Spring with a worthy revel
[With the changing of seasons, many Nexus visitors are very happy to see the snow melt away and life returning to their beloved home. Spring is here!
It appears overnight: a large pantheon in the center of the Nexus forum, and once can only guess how such a great building was erected without anyone noticing. Atop the Patheon are two golden thrones, adorned with gemstones of great value. No one seems to be sitting there, but they seem to hold a great deal of importance to the cloaked humans who guard the Pantheon entrance.
The land in front of the Pantheon is paved with smooth, old stones in the shape of a large circle. Lush flowers and grass grown along the outskirts of the cropping, full of beautiful and exotic plants. Truly the host of this revel wants even nature to bend before their whim.
On the left and right sides of the sides of the circle are two long marble tables, where different food and drink await those who enter. Freshly cooked meat. Ripe fruits and unsullied wine. Whatever your heart desires, be it simple or sweet, you will be hard pressed to not find it on one of the tables. Near the tables is also a large group of tents, adorned with many plush chairs and sofas for those who like to relax while indulging.
The center of the circle has a large bonfire pit, carved of fine stone, lit with a brilliant (almost unearthly) red fire. Comforting to those seeking warmth or invigorating to the souls of the weary: it carries an important symbol for the revel: let your soul burn as hot as the flames inside. Which, to the satyr, it means that everyone present should be partying and indulging with one another. There seems to be plenty of space for dancing and socializing alike, whatever your preference may be.
The entrance into this festivity is monitored by a group of half-human, half-goat satyr. They don’t seem to be picky about who gets let in, assuming you’re not here to ruin the fun, but it would be wise to check it with them first. This is a masquerade-style party, so all of the guests need masks.
But there can’t be anything possible wrong with such a wonderful party, right? Perhaps things are not all as they seem….]

"Don't let her get away! She must die if she won't submit to our cult!" Someone in the crowd yells at Amelia, causing the possessed humans to chant and rally together.

"You'll stay away from me and you'll let everyone else go or I'll set this whole damn place on fire!" she shouts, firing a few more rocks in the direction of the satyr. Knowing he's busy for a few more seconds gives her a chance to holster her slingshot and grab a vial of lemon oil from one of her pouches, then spread its contents in a line out in front of her. She still isn't sure she has the right control for this, but it's now or never for trying. Taking a deep breath, she focuses on the oil on the ground in front of her, cursing at it until it finally lights into tall, bright flames.
This probably won't do much to stop them, but it's something. With the flames growing taller, Amelia digs out her last vial of sleeping powder and clutches it in her hand, ready to open it and throw it into the crowd as soon as anyone's close enough. "Free them, or this taste of my power will only be the beginning of my wrath."
