Tarkas smiled.
"I'm glad we have another person with a hopeful disposition as well! This attitude seems to be lacking around here. Especially one so proficient in craftsmanship! I have seen the weapons used by the archon two days ago, and the versatility was incredible! Might we all be able to use your services for the upcoming war with the void beasts?"

Scav nodded in acknowledgement to Alex and in greeting to Leo, content to wait until the bustle died away so he could pick the goblin's brain and share his ideas in turn. "Name's Scav. Welcome to our little party. Happy to have a fellow tech enthusiast around; would love to swap stories when you find the chance."

Alex would glance around at the strange assortment of individuals, then glanced at Selene before nodding slightly. He then turned his attention to Tarkas
"That is correct, but I have not brought halfpint over here up to speed with what we're up against."
He gestured towards Leo at that, then glanced at Scav, smirking a touch. He nodded at him before glancing back at the goblin.
"I am sure you two will have fun discussing the details, but we have more pressing issues at the moment."
He looked at Vosh, then at Ivana, before turning back to Leo.
"Some of our guests are used to a very different version of your kind. We should dispel any notions they may have."
He finally turned to Cyrus and Simon, grinning a bit as he crossed his arms in front of him.
"You'll have your answers in time, but ...yes. You will all be getting new toys to play with, or upgrades to your existing ones."

"I am well aware of the fact that there are differences between our worlds", Vosh said, still positioned at the back of the crowd, "Yet, I simply cannot help but feel uncomfortable near a being which we deem a plague, menace, pestilence where I'm from."
The scholar then stopped for a brief moment, glancing left and right.
"No offence intended."

Looking at Cyrus as the man explains, Simon quietly thankful that someone realized what he'd said, the wampyri nods along thoughtfully before his eyes go a bit wider and he notes, "Wait a second, anti-matter? As in the antithesis of matter... sounds like something in the same vein as the things we're fighting now. And people powered their vehicles with it?" Tapping at his chin, Simon mumbles, "Wonder if that technological explosion lead to what we have today. Tampering with what we should not, destabilizing the fabric of reality and weakening the barriers of what is potential and what is realized, etcetera, etcetera..."
Somewhat distractedly, he tunes in to what the archon said and nods. "Well then, if we're talking pre-sundering technology, then communication or vision enhancing devices would be highly requested by me. If we're talking enchantments, my arrows are already functionally tougher than steel, so something to make them harm void entities would be appreciated. And if we're talking about me and my capabilities..." Nodding at the archon, he says, "Well I expect to get laid out on the floor a few times while you show me a few moves, Lord Alexander."

Cyrus' eyebrows at Vosh's remark. "Wooow. And uh, I thought I was the rude and edgy one." He muttered. Vosh obviously didn't know how to save face and keep opinions to his chest, or just... not be offensive. Clearly never set foot in a political atmosphere either. Everyone is a tool to be used. Never burn bridges before you cross them. He should have expected it though, given the haughty and arrogant air that Vosh carried about him. That man seemed to care about two things, and two things only. Knowledge and his image of superiority.
Turning back to Simon, the ginger listened as the man contemplated the nature of antimatter. He smiled and shook his head a bit. "You are only partially right. While antimatter is indeed antithetical to all matter, it is a completely natural and fundamental part of reality. Many theorize that when the Big Bang happened, the universe was filled with antimatter, but matter outnumbered antimatter a billion to a million." He briefly wondered if he should stop there, but Simon seemed interested in wanting to know more, or at the very least open to the idea.
"So, because of their completely opposite nature, when them come into contact with each other they mutually annihilate each other. And because there was more matter than antimatter, eventually all the antimatter was annihilated. Leaving only matter left in the universe."
In full science nerd rant mode, there was no stopping Cyrus now. "It still appears from time to time naturally, although that is incredibly rare. Like mathematically improbable kinds of rare. As for antimatter causing an apocalypse of interdimensonal invaders, well, doubtful. Space-time tunneling machines, singularity engines, or subspace weapons are more likely to cause damage to the fabric of reality."
Cyrus paused, seeming to ponder something, one hand scratching at the stubble along his chin. "Although I suppose psionics would be capable of such a feat as well. Never really thought about it much, but it makes sense that the potential for world ending events are there."

Leo bowed.
"Thank you Alex, I can't wait. And you bet I am Tarkas."
Then turning to the wizard, he starts walking up to him, sizes him up.
"A plague? A menace? I like this one, he's a straight shooter. You have nothing to fear but the occasional explosive gadget in your backpack. Let's compete for the biggest explosion!"
"The lady over there doesn't talk much?"

Simon considered Cyrus's further explanations, and he points out, "Well, who says that the Void beings are unnatural forces? Couldn't they be personifications of natural constructs, much like the elementally aligned animals that the Sundering created, or like the sources of magic users' powers that can be manipulated by the imagination and willpower of its host?" Rubbing at his chin, he adds, "The Void is a place in between all places. It would seem as natural as the bordering realms of death, or as our own worlds. The Material planes floating in astral seas or what have you. Couldn't the rise of void entities, as metaphysical manifestations of annihilation, be a long-overdue counterstroke of the universal imbalance between matter and anti-matter?"

"Well, if that Void place attempts to counter strike us, we'll just have to counter counter strike it! New friend Leo, what marvelous weapons can you make to help me strike said counter counter strike of the Void's counter strike to some imbalance of forces beyond human comprehension?"

"Hmm? I zoned out a little with that metaphysical talk. I need more information on our circumstances. Are we under attack by forces we don't understand? Where do they even come from? Are they hurt by conventional weaponry? What kind of resources do we have in our disposal? We may have to get creative. At any rate, this sounds exciting!"

"A plague? A menace? I like this one, he's a straight shooter. You have nothing to fear but the occasional explosive gadget in your backpack. Let's compete for the biggest explosion!"
"That is strangely reassuring", Vosh responded, "But you will have to put in quite a lot of work if you are to match my explosions, Goblin. Let us tolerate each other's existence for now and see who comes on top."
With that, the scholar took a few more steps back making sure to put a reasonable distance between himself and the rest of the fray, extended his arms above his head, traced a pattern and shot a burst of fire up into the sky, which transformed into a massive fiery explosion akin to a smaller sun relative to the size of the fireball and the distance from the ground.
"Your literature has proven quite useful", he said to Selene. He then turned towards the newcomer "I will be waiting for your response."

Although quietly placed herself far from the others, she could clearly hear their conversation. She would not bother to join them until Vosh's attitude disturbed her patience.
After the wizard showcased his spell, Ivana approached him, "Hey, hey, hey wizard! What are you doing? There's no need for that."
She looked at the goblin and then back to Vosh, "Besides, you shouldn't be that assuming! That guy even built that thing! I'm pretty sure he's different from those in our world."
Ivana turned to the newcomer again. Still, the hair on her skin raised as she looked at him, just like what happenes when she sees goblins from where they came from. But intuitively, she knew this one was different.
Boredom crept again at the thief. She sighed and spoke, not caring of the consequences, "Can we stop this for a while and care to feed us? I'm so hungry now..."

"So you can talk! Food sounds good but first.."
Leo turned his back to his newfound rival and walked twice the distance. He took out a small spherical contraption, pressed a few buttons and it came alive with a whirring. Red lighting emanated outwards in short, repeated flashes.
"Hey wizard! Think fast!"
He threw the sphere in an arc. At the end of the arc were the scholar's hands.

With the sphere arching towards him, Vosh extended his right arm and with a quick finger motion managed to evoke a simple telekinetic effect. As the Goblin's gadget stopped moving forward, suspended mid-air, the scholar quickly raised his arm and as he did so, the sphere's trajectory changed and it was headed in the same direction he threw his fireball.

The gadget flashed red one final time and just dropped down. Leo walked, casually picked it up and flashed a bright toothy smile to the scholar.
"Fireballs are better spent on our enemies don't you think? Besides I'm more of a zap guy. You can keep this if you like, it's mostly harmless. Want it?"
Leo extended his hand with the sphere palm up.

"Enemies could be lurking around every corner, you can never be safe here it seems, so there is no point in not showing them that they should stay away", Vosh responded, "And 'Mostly harmless' is still not harmless... you can keep your device."

From the sidelines, Simon says, "If he doesn't want it, I'll take it... As long as I have a use for it. What does it do" For a moment the Raven took over there, but only for a moment.

"So if it's not of use to you you'd dash my generosity to pieces hmm? But worry not my friend, now that I know I'll only offer you profitable things in the future."
Turning his head sideways to the archon, Leo's face was no longer smiling.
"I'm not sure I like this one Alex. He has the aura of a vulture."

Ivana shook her head and sighed on what she thought was worthless display of skills. She clicked her tongue then spoke, "If you aren't gonna feed us, then let's get going."
The thief hoped that things would speed up. The more delay that'll happen, the more days she'll be off from her goals.
