The story so far
After months of traveling and adventure, the Heroes are planning to return home, taking a shortcut through the magical Godstones portal in the mysterious Earthmaster Site of Telumar.
Telumar is famous for its spectacular light shows, with colorful, radiant beams emitted into the sky from a series of pylons surrounding the complex.
Athena is also seeking a Black Door, or Telumar's Godstone. Beyond that portal, it has been predicted that she will have an opportunity to start the revenge she seeks.

Location - The Earthmaster Site of Telumar.
Part 1 - Meet the Wizards.
The Heroes rest for an hour then start exploring the complex but are met by several young people. These are the Apprentices of the Master Illusionist Lepridis, who arrives shortly after.
Yureb immediately notices that this man is cloaked in an illusion and, after a short conversation, thinks that he has heard his voice before. He recognizes this man was a visitor to his mentor, the Illusionist Elzoldor the Prism, some years ago when he was an apprentice. However, he appeared much younger back then.Lepridis also recognizes Yureb and is pleased to learn that he has finally learned some magic. He reminisces with Yureb and has not heard from Elzador for years. He explains that he investigates these buildings' brilliant light displays and has determined that a light show will be flare up whenever someone travels through the Godstone.
He explains that the Heroes are welcome to explore Telumar and that a week ago, another traveler arrived through the Godstone, the unpleasant Mage Onrall. Onrall investigated the two Psionically locked doors to the south on the bottom level of the complex. Lepridis and his team could not open these doors, but the Wizard may well have, but he has not been seen since.
Lepridis recommends avoiding the Crystal Frost found in some of the passageways and tells them that the Maze Pattern is embedded on the floor in the next room. This can open the mind to the Prismatic Magic of Telumer.
The party can help but notice one of Lepridis's Apprentices, an attractive young woman, scowls at the party. She eyes the party with suspicion.
