Ouch. Pyre joke...
Well, I posted a short reply, both to help lead your next posts and to explain. This will be one of the last times we see Nera for a while. Goodbye, weird pervert Goddess! After this, my posting position will change a bit. Since this is a big party, and exploration is a thing, I won't lead you guys like I did with Nera. You are free to do whatever. I will just provide information and describe what happens as you do things, trigger events. You know, typical GM stuff.
No babying around here either, if you do something crazy, it's gonna have consequences.
As a helpful bit, for those who want to write the whole way through, til the end. After all the nightmare layer shenanigans, or lack there-of, you will AWAKEN once again and find yourself in a massive chamber not so different than this one, next to a very similar stairway that this time, only leads up instead of down. This entire environment is covered in rust and grime, and all manner of nasty things, even more time-worn than it had been in the 'DREAM'. Things will be very dim, but strangely enough, not as dark as you would expect for a place abandoned. Creepy pale white lights come from a few of the many diverging hallways, providing the low vision. If you try to hear for things, you won't find much of anything. The whole place is dead silent.
I think... that's about it. Have fun killing yourselves. :^D
