The Rise of Smoke (raid)  

[Sat Mar 21 14:02:05 2020] You say, 'Hail, Unraveling Consciousness Blue'
[Sat Mar 21 14:02:05 2020] Unraveling Consciousness Blue says, 'Ah, a mortal. Wonderful! I know most aren't very pleased that all of you have begun to swarm all over our beautiful lands. I, however, see you as useful tools. The only real issue with you as a tool is that you have no authority to be a tool on our lands, nor do I have any [authority] to allow you to be used so.'

You say, "authority"
[Sat Mar 21 14:02:07 2020] Unraveling Consciousness Blue says, 'Well, that is indeed useful! You have completed a Trial of Smoke and lived? You have earned your right to be here, and therefore you can be a useful tool! Fantastic! Now, all I must do is convince you to do so. Unfortunately I am not in a position to offer you much information, nor really to ask you to actually do anything at all. However, I can tell you what should be [plainly visible], had you the wit to see it.'

You say, "plainly visible"
[Sat Mar 21 14:02:09 2020] Unraveling Consciousness Blue says, 'It's simple, really. Even simpler if you know history, which I cannot tell you. Surely you have seen minions of the efreeti holding offensive positions on Stratos, expanding their position in our realm. Clearly such a thing is not normal and would be considered offensive. The fact that those forces occasionally fight with our forces should indicate, even to you, that we are at war. Easy to understand, right? Despite your short life span and inherently emotional and violent nature, surely you understand that war has consequences, many of them often bad. Some of us see the consequences and would be pleased if mortals would [intervene] to reduce those consequences.'

You say, "intervene"
[Sat Mar 21 14:02:11 2020] Unraveling Consciousness Blue says, 'If one wanted to assist with these consequences, all one would have to do is ask for transport to the right place at the right time. That one would certainly need to bring with them several friends, perhaps dozens. I wonder if there is any such [being].'

You say, "being"
[Sat Mar 21 14:02:13 2020] Unraveling Consciousness Blue says, 'Ah, well, if that being wanted to be sent someplace, all they would have to do is indicate that they are [ready].'

You are assigned the Raid Expedition Instance "The Rise of Smoke"

You say, "ready"
[Sat Mar 21 14:03:20 2020] Unraveling Consciousness Blue says, 'I have my doubts.'
