The armoured giant quietly observed the party as Ozo and Firebrand explained themselves. It's voice was like a children's choir, a change which appeared to signal something akin to amusement. "Indeed. My purpose is merely to find the false god who rules this place. I am what you would call a.... paladin. I serve the Prince of Pleasure, the Lord of Chaos, Slaanesh. And my goal here is simply to enforce the rule and domain of my deity." The strange figure would respond only with amusement to the disgust Damien no doubt felt at being confronted by one of the servants of a God of Chaos, antithesis to Asmodeus. "But I find myself unable to penetrate into this being's domain. This place is a maze of mirrors, and reality is not as it seems. It is a veil even I am somewhat unable to pierce." A hint of anger underlied the creature's words, and a sympathetic wave of hatred for this place struck the party like a wave. It was difficult to stand here and not agree with all this stranger said.

"Allow me to help us both." The figure turned to Firebrand, and a wave of power rocked nearby trees. "I alone may be unable to pierce these defences, but perhaps I can assist you in your quest." He reached out one armoured gauntlet, and as he opened his hand the very air seemed to tremble. All could feel the magic emanating from the object he held, but Firebrand most of all. Even without the assistance of the emotional whirlwind this would have sent his mind tumbling. What was held in those hands was impossible, and yet there it was, floating as if it had any right to exist here, let alone be presented to him once more. "Consider this a gift, devil. Wield it, and open the path, that we may proceed. I know that you will have the power to do so." Hovering over the paladin's palm was a small black stone, the Crest of Infinity, one of the most powerful artefacts from Firebrand's home universe. And he knew that he could simply reach out and take it, regaining the power he had willingly surrendered.
