The Game: Chapter 15
In reply to Vora (msg # 471):
~~ END COMBAT ~~
Though the battle has been won -- Vora vanquished, and the corpses of her elite followers laying prostrate on the ground -- the maelstrom of destruction rampaging across the sky continues, unabated. One could be forgiven for believing the war lost, after all.
With the shields provided by your patrons depleted, and the portal that drew you to this wretched place closed, it is only a matter of time before each hero expends the last of their magics and is left to the ravenous fury of Oblivion.
The PARTY can only watch as the floating spires of the Celestial Heavens disappear within the raging void. Oceans and mountains funnel through, with bricks and mortar and forests, men and beasts, and everything else that gave substance to Prime and the planes that surrounded it. All that is, was, or will be -- pasts, futures, and presents -- are devoured with equal impassiveness.
Though Lyriel felt its effects first, she is soon joined in the ranks of the unempowered by Finwe, Boreas, Keef, and Auriel. One by one, the comforting heartbeat of their patrons' power withers away, slowing before coming to an abrupt stop.

The light itself is next to fall, with the sun being sucked into the storm like a flicking candle. It is soon extinguished, and utter darkness falls upon the PARTY.
After the shock subsides, the PARTY realizes that there is, in fact, illumination available to them. Only now, in the terrible darkness, can they perceive that Oblivion itself has a light of its own. A faint, purplish hue, perhaps, but enough to see.
Enough to reveal that the tear in the sky has consumed itself, melting away into the all-encompassing ambiance of the sole remaining realm.
Enough to see the only structure of any kind that yet remains: the large Vorite well from which Darris, Atril, and Shep were summoned when you first encountered Vora.
There are no other exits.
