Scrying
Okay, you scry Leuco. The mirror is pretty smart, either that or there's only one entity named Leuco in the entire universe. Anyway, Leuco the half-elf, half-troll appears in the mirror.
It looks like he's relaxing on a beach somewhere, sipping a pineapple-and-gin, wearing a pair of outrageous 'Jams'. An unread copy of Angels and Demons sits in the sand nearby, next to his mighty black longbow and Contrarian Glaive. Looks like the Contrarian of Grisbane is doing pretty well for himself.
...
Abbey. You half-expect some sort of bullshit cheesy DM scryshield thing, but nope, you manage to scry Abbey. She's somewhere in the ruins of Greyhelm. Looks like she's in the midst of the busyings of the Knights of Armek, who are still constructing their enormous metal tower. She's off a bit, looks like she's studying the tower. Being the bullshit cheesy NPC that she is, though, she detects the scry attempt, and looks around, looking at you right in the eyes in the mirror. She mouths something and shakes her head. She frowns, and seems to be thinking about something. Then she points at the tower, and points into the sky. She smiles and disappears.
...
Vrill. Well what do you know? You see your old pal Master Gregory Vrill. He's sitting crosslegged at a computer terminal of all things, smoking a cigarette. He's reading something on the screen, and as he reads, that dirty SOB blows smoke right into the monitor! ZOM-G empathizes with the machine.
THAT AINT RIGHT YO
WHAT A HOSE
You get a better look, and see that he's reading your blog. This blog, Descent into Depths. Then he presses a button. Gets a loading error, and visibly curses. Impatiently waits and looks annoyed. Presses another button. It looks like he's posting something...

Mysterious X. MX is currently conducting an interview to promote his new fad diet: Think Yourself Thin! He looks calm and collected. Actually this guy is the very picture of coolness, down to his understated yet probably awfully expensive leather sneakers. An Ioun Stone rotates around his head of course. He winks at you, casually in the middle of dialogue with a aging yet still attractive blonde. What a guy.
...
Gregolas. Gregolas is on an exciting adventure! He's drenched in sweat, fighting for his life against KROMOR the Xorn Lord! You see him cast a magic spell, then swing his mace in a wide arc!
Just kidding. Gregolas is eating chips sitting on the couch. Watching Gregolas is like watchinig an aquarium. Completely boring but somehow soothing, like somewhere, in some little part of the crazy, war-torn, overpowered world, there's a guy who can just sit around and do absolutely nothing.
Well maybe not nothing. It looks like he's got a new Xbox game, Viva Pinata, where it looks like he grows little animated pinata animals who walk around and dance and stuff.
...
As for dwarves and whatnot, well, come on now. This is a family blog.
