A second ago she was at work in the temple of Erastil in Sothis, which was actually going pretty okay, all things considered. Now she's in a grassy field with a couple fruit trees and a table and chairs and some notebooks and pens.
This is unexpected and requires a ton of power and is therefore sort of inherently terrifying. And she's alone, and defenseless, and she doesn't know where Verita is.
She mills around in steadily increasing amounts of distress until Hagan appears, just as suddenly.
"List of rules for playing a game about being an adventurer. Mostly I was just curious about what information the Diamond Queen was working with."
"You can che - oh, I guess you can't. Uh, looks decent. I can read you some of the spell descriptions if you want."
"Sure. But I was more wondering about the stuff about the world, if it has that."
"Not very much here on it. There's a list of deities with one-line descriptions. Fairly extensive list of magic items. No map, nothing about countries."
"I think I've seen her with some other books. This is just the one with enough copies lying around that I don't think she cares whether other people use it without asking."
"It's just an interesting concept, a game about being an adventurer."
"Yeah. You like - stories, and noticing the rules things really run on even when people are pretending they're something different, and stuff."
She flips through the book. "Bard, barbarian, cleric, druid, fighter, monk, paladin, ranger, rogue, sorcerer, wizard."
"- huh! I guess maybe those are more gameplay styles than concepts people use, or maybe people use them somewhere other than Osirion."
