Shattered Minds: Smiles of the Dead
<i>The teeth that blocked their escape would begin to crack and break. It doesn't seem intent on breaking quite yet but then the hammer would suddenly start moving on it's own. The jaw on it would open up widely and bite into the wall, breaking the teeth apart as it began to devour chunks of it at a time.
However, by the time they were finally able to pass through the gate, all at once, the cave they were in would collapse. It would be impossible for anyone to survive with several meters of dirt and rock suddenly piling onto them...
However, each member of the group would find themselves still breathing. There seemed to be something holding back the collapsing rock, something akin to a spectral field of red surrounding each of them.
Most of the ground seemed to pass right over them until they reached the surface once more. The graveyard was now a mess. Most of the grass had turned brown and decayed and the ground itself was a crater compared to what it once was. Of course, there were zero dead bodies, most likely the result of the monster from before.
Standing at the top of the crater, staring down at the group, was a man in white who would be familiar to some of the group.</i>
"Well done, all of you. That was just the performance I expected. It seems you all really are something special.
Of course, if you failed that simple trial I'd have to assume you all as brain dead."
<i>The man would clap softly, holding a strange looking gun in one of his hands.</i>
"So, it's time for a gift from yours truly, for the future of out partnership. Since you all did so well I'll give you a choice. Should once of you receive a big gift or would you all like something?
Evolution for one or should I test all of your potential?"

<i>The man would jump down to where the rest of the group was. He seemed somewhat disappointed but also seemed almost excited at the same time. Suddenly, light seemed to gether in his hand, possessing a deep red hue.
Without any warning his body would move forward inhumanly fast towards Akia. He'd plunge that light directly into her, passing through her skin. He'd take a step back suddenly forming a maddening smile across his face.</i>
"I am Adam, the father of the new world that's to come. Until next time we meet, my faithful follower."
<i>Without much warning the man would be gone disappearing from space as suddenly as he appeared.
Meanwhile, Akia would find that something within her was starting to become...
Overbearing. Her skin would suddenly feel like nothing more than a container holding something back that rested deep inside of her.

Something was coming, something that very well could pose more of a threat to the rest of the group then even the monster before. However, what that threat truly was would be based on Akia herself.</i>
Fate's Hand
<i>The talk of gods and time left Roland feeling like perhaps he's entered something a little more complicated than his usual adventure but he's already realized at this point that he can't back down with what he's heard.</i>
"So, essentially you're sending people to deal with issues that affect people. I like it, I'm always one to deal with problems head first and I don't mean just bashing my head into it either.
Not too sure about all this God and time related business though I think I've met a few beings that are pretty close to gods. They were at least worshipped by the people they protected. God is more a title than anything after all.
Anyway, back to the issue at hand, as I said before I'd be happy to give a hand but I have to ask just as a precaution exactly what it is I should prepare for, if you know that is. I'd also have to ask if you have any equipment that might be useful for solving this issue. Anything at all could help but if not then I'll just have to rely on what little tools I have on hand."
