I, um. I have the list of Travelers who have gone out of ambit.

Bayek, Feliciano, Davesprite, Korra, Ochre, Zed, Lupa, Death - the skeletal Death - Susan, Leo, Rise, and Beatrice and Amy Ushiromiya.

[He takes a slow breath, both steadying himself and giving the names a moment of silence, in respect and so people have a chance to process what they just heard.]

I'm sorry.

If anyone has any questions, I'll do my best to answer them.

I worry any dungeon he may be in will be... uniquely challenging for mortals.

Do you have more specific ideas about how? In case you're not around when his dungeon appears, it seems prudent to ask now.

[acapriciousthing]

The scale's likely to be longer. Emotions may manifest in a way that seems foreign. And the concerns... he's often clashed with beings called Auditors who find life and personalities too messy to allow.

[neverfeltthatway]

...What are these 'Auditors', if they're not alive? What do they look like? And... what abilities do they have?

[If they have to fight them, it may be crucial to know what they're up against.]

They're disembodied if they have their way. They're supposed to make sure gravity works and all that. But they also are able to... remove a force they think has gotten out of hand. If they don't show too much personality in making the decision.

That's the trick. Make them angry enough to exhibit individuality.

[neverfeltthatway]

And what's the best way to make them angry? They dislike forces that have gotten out of hand - and life, personality, and messiness, I imagine as an extension of that.

So you show as much personality as you can? Revel in living and all the messy human joys and sorrows that come with it? Or is there a faster way?

Contradictory instructions are apparently good. Signs that say keep left and point right, that sort of thing.

I suspect being very liminal at them would overwhelm them too.

[neverfeltthatway]

All right - thank you.

Anything else you think we should know if we ever face them?

[acapriciousthing]

THat's it for them, at least what I know.

I expect it will be less a combat dungeon and more existential.

[neverfeltthatway]

I assumed as much - but should he surprise us, I'd still rather be prepared.

[acapriciousthing]

Of course.

I'd be troubled at the thought of a dungeon being able to hold him, if either of our presences wasn't already inherently troubling.

[neverfeltthatway]

It is disturbing that either of you can be held here, yes - I've thought that maybe they can only hold this part of you here because this is their universe, and you're held apart from yours.

Either way, you're right - a dungeon isn't particularly any more troubling, at least in that sense.
