Nov 02 19:29:43 <Kotono>   Ami looks about, iron bars of pure energy hovering like shields around here! Her eyes dart about, "Sister, where are they? Big sister, where? Where can I kill them?!" OOC: No target, she's holding. Knight.
Nov 02 19:29:55 <Kamvakua>   "Yulia, can you check on Knight," Kamvakua looked around, keeping his eyes peeled for the villian. OOC: Just free-talking.
Nov 02 19:31:21 <Kotono>   Yulia flies over to Knight, intoning words of holy restoration! "Knight, wake up! Hey listen, remember!" OOC: Lesser restoration. 1d4 to intelligence, you sounded dazed and dumb enough for her to choose that one. Also some HP healing but you're at Max.

Nov 02 19:35:06 <Mari>   "Ami, are you okay? Where'd it go?" (OOC: just moving over near everyone else and doing the full defense thing, just in case.)
Nov 02 19:38:28 <Kotono>   "I don't know!" Ami looks wildly about, head snapping back and forth! "Sister, it's just like the other yugoloths! They can slip into the shadows or turn invisible just like that!" As Ami goes on, it emerges! It's 20 feet away from the party! It's head opens up, and in them you hear voices. Ami's voice is first, "I offer you all for glory, oh dark lord!" Then Knight's voice follows, ""I'd be
Nov 02 19:38:28 <Kotono>   buying it myself, of course. But I can hardly go without my gloves and gauntlets! What if something was to strike at my fingers? Then I wouldn't be able to fight, much less wear a ring!" Amid these voices it erupts out, a great cascading blast of black water! It engulfs the party like a tidal wave! OOC: REflex all.

Nov 02 19:43:36 <Kotono>   The blast of water leaves the party nearly overwhelmed! In that bleak water they can feel their very selves leeching away! It overwhelms KNight and Ami in utter oblivion, leaving them reeling back! OOC: Nikkolai, go.
Nov 02 19:44:59 <Nikkolai>   OOC: Floating dude didn't come into sight when the water came up, right? If not, I'm holding.

Nov 02 19:51:21 <Kotono>   The buffet of magical might leaves the gestaloth lightly shaking! It's image quivers as the missiles slam through it fully this time! Yet it is still there, emerged and impossible to fully look at! OOC: Kam.

Nov 02 19:55:00 <Kotono>   Kamvakua's spear shines as brightly as the heavens above! The light for a moment pushes the Gestaloth back as it strikes, illuminating all over! As it does you can see further ahead! Hovering in the air are ghostly faces. A dozen or more of them, each one utterly silent penitence, weeping tears of mist. Yet their lips are easy to read, almost able to hear what is not said. "Come, come, come, the reaping is done. Come come come, the reaping is done. Come come come, the reaping is done!"  OOC: Adail.
Nov 02 19:58:17 *   Adail quickly slides between the yugoloth and Knight, just in case, and snaps out his hand to pepper the beast with darts of force, "Hunting Fang!"

Nov 02 19:59:46 <Kotono>   Each quick missile hits again! This time the gestaloth seems to shudder, and ripping out of it's mouth is a young girl's voice. In it is pure terror, "MOMMY!"  Meanwhile Ami and Knight reel as Yulia shudders! She flies down, once again trying to restore Knight's wits!

Nov 02 20:05:25 <Kotono>   This time the gestaloth writhes! Fire crackles over it's body as Mari strikes it's midsection, ripping her blade out! It now whirls on Mari, claws going right for her even as it burns, an empty hole now in it's middle!

Nov 02 20:08:15 <Kotono>   The gestaloth's claws slash through Mari, carrying images and sounds with them! Images of Mari drinking, of dancing, of fighting, of a dozen things only glimpsed! A split second later it sinks into the ground, out of sight like a deft nightmare! Seconds later, you can begin to hear it audibly now, even if not seen any more! "Come come come, the reaping is done! Come come come, the reaping is done!" OOC: Nik.
Nov 02 20:10:10 *   Nikkolai glances around warily. "I say we move while the going's good. Perhaps we should leave and try to exit the grounds again?"

Nov 02 20:11:15 <Kotono>   OOC: Okay. Kam.

Nov 02 20:14:10 <Mari>   "How about you shut up and help us kill this thing, Nik? When'd you get to be such a wimp, running away all the time?" Mari looks around, watching for the gestaloth's return, trying to ignore the voices.

Nov 02 20:24:08 <Kotono>   The chanting grows louder...then stops! The darkness rushes in, smothering your light! At the same time the ground beneath you splits open into a wide mouth! A leering mouth, drooling and with a vast tongue! You don't fall, but everything around you plummets away! Around you lie...many. The banks of a cold, black river. There is no heat here, no light. You can see only by the ripples of the
Nov 02 20:24:08 <Kotono>   black river, seeming to cast a vision of sorts onto everything. On the banks are dozens. Dozens, impaled, crucified, drawn and quartered, beheaded. They all lie here, lying in dry, black pools of blood. Each one is laid to be at the feet of the one before it at impossible angles, mouth full of the half chewed flesh of the previous. As you watch a moment, the mouths begin to chew. A wet, thick

Nov 02 20:48:32 <Knight>   Knight's club meets the ground, and she leans on it, breathing heavily. "How do you like that..." she mutters, grinning to herself. "Trickery's the province of the weaker party..."
Nov 02 20:48:42 *   Kamvakua glances around, worriedly scanning over the place before relaxing.  "We will probably have to face more of those...but why was something like that out here?"

Nov 02 20:50:20 *   Adail pulls out the wand of negative energy and heals Nik with it.
Nov 02 20:50:26 <Kotono>   Ami draws ragged breath, snarling, "Yugolothic scum," she spits, "Let us put this place to the torch once we investigate it and leave. That will burn away their taint."

Nov 02 20:53:22 *   Kamvakua blinks, quicking his head, listening, trying to get a sense of where those sounds were coming from.
Nov 02 20:53:23 *   Mari rubs her forehead, feeling more at ease now. As much as one can in a room full of corpses. "Thanks, Yulia. ...So, what's with all the dead folks in here. Pretty orderly for a massacre." Mari steps closer to take a look at what kind of condition they're in, what might've happened.
Nov 02 20:53:24 <Knight>   "Adail, can you.. investigate? I wish to rest for just a moment, I cannot think, things are missing, just..."

Nov 02 20:55:08 *   Adail casts one mroe restoration spell on Knight.

Nov 02 20:55:55 *   Adail then flicks an ear, "Hold a moment." Cocking his head to the side he seems to mimic Kam and tries to figure out what he's hearing and where from.
Nov 02 20:56:11 *   Knight peers out the door of the bedroom, looking to see what else this house holds.
Nov 02 20:56:13 <Kotono>   OOC: Make listen if you care to, ADail. Also make K:R, you have ranks.

Nov 02 20:56:30 <Kotono>   Out in the hallway is a simple corridor. IT's dark and ill lit. A few doors lead to different parts of the house.
Nov 02 20:56:40 <Adail>   OOC: Take 10 for 24 K:R. Not trusting my rolling today
Nov 02 20:57:13 <Kamvakua>   "I am listening.  Speak your words, spirits." He said aloud, not being able to tell where they were coming from.
Nov 02 20:58:22 *   Adail shakes his head, "Hmm, you hear the ghosts voices as well?" He didn't sound very surprised, actually.
Nov 02 20:58:32 <Kotono>   It sounds like a soft sighing in the wind, a rippling in the air, "Help us...below...lie the fallen. Those who lost everything to the daemon. We have not yet lost ourselves. We beg...of you, free them and us. Free us in the name of the Skyfather!"
Nov 02 20:59:38 <Adail>   "Below? Well," he nods, "Let's venture downward then and see what we can do."
Nov 02 21:00:00 <Kamvakua>   "...He must of trapped them here, preventing them from going to their rightful rest after they died." Kamvakua frowned.  He'd read enough to know such things occured, sickening as it was.
Nov 02 21:00:18 *   Kamvakua looks for a way downward.
Nov 02 21:00:55 <Knight>   "Would not burning suffice? I would leave this place," replies Knight, turning back to the room. "There is the risk of infection if we remain here."
Nov 02 21:02:26 <Mari>   "I dunno, Knight. Maybe Kam knows since he can talk to the dead now?" Mari heads into the hall to check the other doors, glad to be out of a room full of plague victims.
Nov 02 21:02:43 <Adail>   "To free the spirits? Likely not. I'll need to confirm what is trapping them, and see if there's a way to break it. It may be as simple as wielding Talons in the right place, it may be more complicated. And perhaps burning WILL work. But I can't know for sure right this moment."
Nov 02 21:03:55 *   Knight begins to follow Mari. "I just want to avoid further damage. I am not easy to unnerve, but I am unnerved."
Nov 02 21:04:45 <Kamvakua>   "I can't talk to the dead...but apparently they talk to me here," He rubbed his head, finding it a strange notion, but not the strangest he'd seen.
Nov 02 21:07:33 <Kotono>   Looking about, there are a few other bedrooms full of plague victims. At the end of the hall you find kitchens. Within this is a cellar door, able to lead you down if you wish.  OOC: At this point, would everyone make a fort save 'cept Nik?

Nov 02 21:09:18 <Knight>   "If we are doing this, we are doing it, and I suppose fear should be put away," mutters Knight, reaching for the cellar door and pulling it open.
Nov 02 21:09:35 <Kotono>   The cellar door opens1 It leads to a sharply descending stair, going down into the darkness of underground.
Nov 02 21:10:02 <Knight>   "Light," says Knight, and Nikkolai obliges with some floating orbs. She proceeds down the stairs henceforth!
Nov 02 21:10:41 <Adail>   "The cellar access in the smaller building was warded, yes. I don't know if this leads to the same area, though." He then moves ahead of the others so if there is anything nasty it trips on him first.
Nov 02 21:10:58 <Adail>   OOC: Darkvision 60ft as well, so
Nov 02 21:12:29 <Kotono>   The stairs wind down and down and down! As you descend the temperature rapidly begins to drop - from warm to cool to cold! After a goodly numbers of stairs down you can see the bottom. A flat open cellar of vast size. It is so cold here as to chill the soul, winter's full embrace. The walls are damp, the air smells of foul moisture. Here lies bodies - dozens and dozens, bled out and bloodstained.
Nov 02 21:13:46 *   Knight holds up a hand. "I am not going in there," she says, backing up a step. "It is too fouled with disease. Can you see what must be done, Adail?"
Nov 02 21:13:49 <Adail>   "Stop. I really don't think anyoen who doesn't need to be down here should come down. I think I'm safe, as is likely Kam and certainly Nik. But the rest of you...may wish to stay up top."
Nov 02 21:14:27 <Kotono>   Yulia shakes her head, "Hey listen...they need help, or their spirits do! What sort of celestial am I if I stay idle? I'm going!"
Nov 02 21:14:42 <Knight>   "If you catch a disease down there, you'll bring it back to us!" snaps Knight.
Nov 02 21:14:44 *   Mari is quite glad to be keeping her distance here. "What--why would they need all these bodies in one place? Ugh. If you think the rest of us should go out, I'm not gonna argue. I don't even know what we're supposed to do with this mess!"
Nov 02 21:15:06 <Kamvakua>   "...Senseless slaughter?"  Kamvakua covered his mouth with a clean cloth, eying Yulia. "No, as few of us should go as needs be.  They do need to be helped, but that won't help them if you get sick."
Nov 02 21:15:43 *   Adail ventures further in, "Spirits...you called to us. Speak to me again now, tell us what is trapping you here?" As he called to them, he looked about with his magical senses. (OOC: Detect Magic, See INvis and Detect Evil. God I'm going to regret this.)
Nov 02 21:18:09 <Kotono>   The moment Adail looks beyond sight his vision is overwhelmed! Pure evil resides here, a mass so overwhelming he is knocked back! At this there is a soft howling!

OOC: Stunned for 1 round, detect evil's duration is ended.
Nov 02 21:19:12 *   Adail staggers backwards, "Gods..."

Nov 02 21:49:40 *   Knight shivers, and draws her arms up to her chest to try and keep in some warmth. "Urgh..."
Nov 02 21:49:42 <Kamvakua>   "There seems little end to the horrors they've done here.  Mari, are you alright?" He focused on the one most attacked by her.
Nov 02 21:49:59 <Kotono>   Yulia flies over, "Hold on," she says, healing touching Knight!

Nov 02 21:50:27 *   Adail takes a moment to focus himself, then looks around with his senses again, hoping that was the end of the matter and it's destruction did indeed free the spirits.
Nov 02 21:51:51 <Knight>   "Thank you," murmurs Knight, managing to straighten. "I think I should have died without this magic."
Nov 02 21:52:40 <Kotono>   Yulia sinks down onto Knight's head, "Hey listen, don't worry, we're gonna get all of the 'loths together! This is so senselessly cruel! Why do all this? Unleash a plague and turn the victims into howling ghosts at the hands of a fiend? Why?"
Nov 02 21:53:08 <Adail>   "No...the souls are still here. Tormented, bound by something. Give me a moment, I'll try to find what. Nik, give me a hand. The rest of you should...step out, I think." Saying that, he begins to look around, looking for something that might serve as a focus point, some blasphemous symbol or anything else like that which might be binding the spirits.
Nov 02 21:53:10 <Kotono>   Ami stays back, "Mari is correct. Burn them all. Let the cleansing flames of Baator wash away weakness and instill strength! Burn away the Yugoloths to the last!"
Nov 02 21:53:23 <Mari>   "It's just what they do, Yulia. They think it's...fun."
Nov 02 21:53:24 <Knight>   "It's what fiends do," mutters Knight. "I wouldn't be looking for a higher purpose, because there isn't one."
Nov 02 21:54:08 <Knight>   Nikkolai looks for magic!
Nov 02 21:54:09 *   Mari at least climbs the stairs back to the hallway for now. She's not going to stand around on a pile of corpses if she doesn't bloody well have to!

Nov 02 21:55:27 *   Kamvakua stays, trying to stay still while he waited for them to see how to unravel this.
Nov 02 21:55:56 <Kamvakua>   "We would.  Travel takes many roads, and even in dark ones, light can be found."
Nov 02 21:56:56 <Mari>   "You're not working for her, Yulia, and don't start thinking like you are. It's just a coincidence you've got the same enemy right now. It being the right thing to do's good enough, right?"
Nov 02 21:57:15 <Adail>   "The bodies need proper rites." He says, after a moment. "I can perform them, but they need to be burried or...cremated. I think it would not be innapropriate to turn this entire house into a funeral pyre, so long as I do the rites properly. We should finish investigating first, though."
Nov 02 21:57:59 <Kamvakua>   "It will also help keep the disease from spreading.  We should burn the place thoroughly."
Nov 02 21:58:18 <Mari>   "Then we check the main house? There wasn't anything else down here, right?"
Nov 02 21:58:24 <Knight>   "This sort of thing happens everywhere," replies Knight, stretching. "Infinite planes, infinite cruelty."
Nov 02 22:00:22 <Adail>   "Kam," Adail calls over to his large freind, "Lets drag all the corpses in this place into the one room here. It will help the rites go more smoothly, since I will need perform them only over one mass grave."
Nov 02 22:03:28 <Kamvakua>   "Alright," Kamvakua nodded, beginning the long work to carry the bodies into one place.
Nov 02 22:04:01 <Kotono>   After searching the main house and the small house the bodies are all carried below. The work goes well enough as teh day passes into evening. OOC: Everyone make fort, you'v eall been exposed to varying degrees by all this here.

Nov 02 22:06:55 *   Kamvakua works on piling them into the one room and then clearing out and to above ground, so that they can start the fire from a distance.
Nov 02 22:09:22 *   Adail prepares the bodies for the rites with the minimal amount of contact he can manage, has the others find any stores of alchohol/oil/other flamable substances and douse the bodies with them, having Nik cast grease if need be. Then he performs the rites as the entire building is turned into a funeal pyre for them, calling out to the Skyfather to take the souls of these people into his keeping.
Nov 02 22:10:58 *   Kamvakua says a quiet prayer to Fharlanghn to guide them on their way.
Nov 02 22:11:53 <Adail>   OOC: I assume we have Nikki, our resident pyro, start the fires. Adail can use his gloves to set things on fire if need be too.
Nov 02 22:12:01 <Kotono>   OOC: Okay.
Nov 02 22:12:04 <Kotono>   From afar the party watches the house be set aflame. It burns in the night, shedding red, merciful light all over. As the blaze-light basks all of you, Ami smiles. "The flames of Baator will wash away this weakness and taint. These dead...died because they were not strong enough to resist the sickness or defeat the daemons. But we are not so weak. Exalt us, Lord Bel, for we stand triumphant over
Nov 02 22:12:04 <Kotono>   another crushed foe. Let your flames engulf them all. Let your steel-clad strength grant us unworthy fleas the power to slaughter our foes."
Nov 02 22:14:06 <Mari>   "I don't need anybody's help to do that 'cept those who are standing here," Mari says. "Let's go...home, I guess...and report in?"
Nov 02 22:15:01 *   Kamvakua glances over with...some pity at Ami.  Everyone dies eventually.
Nov 02 22:15:33 <Kotono>   Yulia goes over to Mari's head, plopping down there. "Will we rest outside or march through the night? Everyone's sore and battle wounded."
Nov 02 22:16:11 *   Knight leans on her club, breathing softly. "It is our victory. I won't attribute it to others," she notes, straightening with a grin. "We should proceed to our rendezvous."
Nov 02 22:16:53 <Mari>   "Let's move. Only a matter of time before they send somebody to track down whoever burned their safehouse here, right? I don't want to be on the road when that happens, so let's retreat immediately."
Nov 02 22:17:16 <Knight>   "Is the prisoner secure?"
Nov 02 22:17:29 <Kotono>   "Don't we still have one of the cultists tied up, too," Yulia says, "..yeah, what Knight said. I have a few more healings, does anyone need them before we go?"
Nov 02 22:17:32 <Kamvakua>   "I'd rather not be here any longer,"  Kamvakua said softly, beginning the hike back with the others.
Nov 02 22:17:58 <Mari>   "Yeah, he's in my pocket. Shouldn't wake up for a while, IT hink, but we can just hit him again if he does."
Nov 02 22:18:19 *   Adail nods, "Yes, let's get a move on."
Nov 02 22:18:21 <Kamvakua>   "You look like you could use them yourself, but I would appreciate it, Yulia."

Nov 02 22:22:41 <Kotono>   The night passes long. It's getting closer to dawn than midnight when you return to the circle of stones. Fortune is on your side, no interruptions between there and here. Mari's shoulders slump and Ami is constantly yawning, but you've made it.
Nov 02 22:23:33 *   Mari steps into the circle without further ado. "I need to sleep for somewhere 'round a week, I think."
Nov 02 22:23:50 *   Knight leads her mount into the circle of stones, and glances around. "We've missed our time," she notes. "We'll have to camp here until we're contacted."
Nov 02 22:24:23 <Kotono>   As Ami steps towards the circle she coughs into her hand thrice, grunting. "...blood."
Nov 02 22:24:43 <Kamvakua>   "Provided she doesn't simply know." Kamvakua wouldn't put much past the ability of the lich to follow them at this point.
Nov 02 22:25:19 <Mari>   "What?" Mari circles around Ami, stepping up close. "What's wrong?!"
Nov 02 22:25:27 <Knight>   "I have strong doubts as to her omniscience," replies Knight, glancing at Ami. "Damn. I suppose it was much to hope that none of us would contract it."
Nov 02 22:25:31 <Adail>   "I'll prepare remove disease spells in the morning." Adail notes, as Ami coughs up blood. "For now, stay off to the side away from the others. In fact, it would be best if we all stayed a bit apart tonight."
Nov 02 22:25:52 <Kotono>   Ami holds her hand up. Her gauntlet is stained with blood, as she licks her reddened lips. "I feel a sore opening inside of my mouth."
Nov 02 22:26:40 *   Mari backs away. "It'll be okay. We'll get everything fixed tomorrow. Just hang on for now!"
Nov 02 22:27:27 <Kotono>   As you chat, the air before you twists slightly. With a bow Arinzah steps from nothingness, "Ah, g'day," he bids, keeping a distance. "G'night, actually, but it hardly matters. You've returned, bloodied but alive."
Nov 02 22:27:29 <Knight>   "We have scrolls," notes Knight. "Little sense not using them while we can."
Nov 02 22:27:34 <Kotono>   Ami grunts and nods, "Mere sickness will not fell me."
Nov 02 22:28:27 <Knight>   "It will, if left to rot. Don't they teach you the impact of plagues on an army in Baator?"
Nov 02 22:29:45 <Kotono>   "The weak die off from them, while the strong endure and grow stronger," Ami pauses to cough again. Meanwhile Arinzah clears his throat, "To the point, shall you sleep in the wild or return to hospitality this night?"
Nov 02 22:30:40 *   Kamvakua steps after Arinzah.  No point arguing it out here.  Regardless, Mari's foolish sister needed help, not sleeping in the wild.
Nov 02 22:30:47 <Knight>   "Nonsensical. A person has little control over whether a plague strikes them down or not," replies Knight, with a shrug. "It would be best to return. Set private quarters aside for Ami."
Nov 02 22:31:25 <Mari>   "Didn't you see any of those dead people? Ami, it's killed all the animals and even the damn insects around here, if you're suffering from it too it just means you're human like the rest of us. Most of us. You're getting some magical help as soon as we get back, so stop arguing."
Nov 02 22:31:34 <Kotono>   "The Lady has arrianged new quarters for you; each will be in your own. The Lady will come on the 'morrow to se which of you are diseased and we will move from there with recovery. Ready, all?"
Nov 02 22:31:42 *   Adail then thinks, "Wait, Nik, can I see that scroll you grabbed?" As Nik hands him the scroll, he nods, "Luck is with us. Ami, hold still." He moves towards her, and casts Remove Disease from the scroll! And closely observes to see if he can learn anything about this mysteriously returning disease as it is cured.
Nov 02 22:32:00 <Kotono>   OOC: Got ranks in Heal?

Nov 02 22:34:34 <Mari>   "And now you're stronger for *not being sick*. Now let's go rest up before one of us gets you diseased again or something."
Nov 02 22:34:40 <Knight>   "My understanding is that the disease recurs," notes Knight. "A more permanent cure will be necessary."
Nov 02 22:35:20 <Adail>   "Nik. There's a fading magic aura on her, can you identify it quickly?"
Nov 02 22:35:23 <Kotono>   "Yes," Arinzah agrees, "The true lethality of it. It recurs and recurs stronger than before."
Nov 02 22:35:41 <Knight>   Nikkolai squints really hard at the fading magical aura!

Nov 02 22:36:54 <Kamvakua>   "A magical disease that returns after being cured, I see, quite a dangerous thing."
Nov 02 22:36:56 <Knight>   Nikkolai quietly reports that the spell is complex and far beyond him.
Nov 02 22:37:26 <Kotono>   "Now then, shall we return to your rooms?" Arinzah says, sniffling. "Ah, fresh air is a welcome change, but the Lady would prefer you to be safely behind the wards of her abode."
Nov 02 22:37:40 <Knight>   "It will likely wipe out this entire world, if left unchecked. Yes, let's go."
Nov 02 22:38:04 *   Knight furrows her brow. "Perhaps a good reason not to be here. Damn..."
Nov 02 22:38:10 <Adail>   "Hmm. Alright, next time one of us catches it and I remove it, we'll do so in front of the Lady. Perhaps she will see what we missed." He then nods and follows along.
Nov 02 22:38:32 <Kotono>   With that the party vanishes and fades away...! OOC: EAch of you will appear in yoru own room. Any of you going to do anything remarkable in there or just rest?

Nov 02 22:42:46 <Kotono>   Adail requests the books! About a half hour passes. As it does Adail begins to feel feverish. His lips and nose break open with bloody sores. As he endures this, the door to his room opens. The Lady comes forth, "Let us not waste time with trivialities, when neither of us require the bonds of slumber. How fare you?"
Nov 02 22:44:49 <Adail>   He chuckles, "Apparently I've caught the disease. Which may be a good thing, now that you're here. When I removed it from Ami with the scroll we found, there was a fading magical aura that was too complex even for Nikkolai to sort out. If you can get me another scroll, I can remove it from myself now and see if you can figure out the magic that keeps it returning yourself?"
Nov 02 22:45:45 <Kotono>   The Lady smoothly flexes her wrist. From within her robes comes a scroll, sliding into her hand. "Wait a few moments, a bit of magic will augment my vision and knowledge." From there she withdraws another scroll, focusing...
Nov 02 22:45:55 <Kotono>   roll 1d20 just basically seeing if she 1s or not, UMD is like that.
Nov 02 22:45:56 <Hatbot>   
ACTION --> "Kotono rolls 1d20 just basically seeing if she 1s or not, UMD is like that. and gets 19." [1d20=19]
Nov 02 22:46:08 *   Adail waits until she gives him the clear.
Nov 02 22:46:21 <Kotono>   The scroll fades away after a few wordsa re uttered, "I am prepared. Invoke the magic."
Nov 02 22:46:40 *   Adail uses the scroll to remove the disease from himself!
Nov 02 22:47:16 <Kotono>   roll 1d20+31
Nov 02 22:47:17 <Hatbot>   
ACTION --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+31 and gets 46." [1d20=15]
Nov 02 22:49:27 <Kotono>   The Lady hums as Adail's sores vanish! She leans forward, resting on her staff. Her face is impassive as granite, "I have an inkling, but I fear much more will elude us. I have little doubt now the ultimate source of this plague is the Oinoloth, his ability to create disease is unrivaled in all the cosmos. The plague itself adapts as it fades, much like a saavy opponent. I see, I see..." She
Nov 02 22:49:27 <Kotono>   murmurs, "The key is to stop the adaptation."
Nov 02 22:51:05 <Adail>   "Hmm. That does make sense. Most diseases are things you don't catch twice, as the body will adapt to resist it after surviving it once." He flicks an ear in irritation, "However, I am no great healer. More of a warrior priest, as you saw this morning. So I'm not sure how to go about stopping a disease from adapting."
Nov 02 22:52:24 <Kotono>   "I need more information to forge a cure," The Lady goes on, "I have hopes that Ursagel, his possessions and keep, or even his screaming spirit can give us the illumination to counter this." Now turning, "Books will be brought ot you to study over the night. Prepare for the 'morrow." OOC: Are you going to do anything but study books, Adail?
Nov 02 22:53:38 <Adail>   OOC: Go through his forms and such, and have someone inform him when true dawn happens so he can refesh spells. And study the medical books.
Nov 02 22:53:50 <Kotono>   OOC: Okay.
Nov 02 22:54:41 <Adail>   OOC: Actually, he asks for Yulia to stay in his room, and has her help with this. Mundane healing knowledge is something she should study as well.
Nov 02 22:54:53 <Kotono>   OOC: Okay.
Nov 02 22:55:40 <Kotono>   About ten minutes later the Lady returns with Yulia. Yulia is slumped and carried in her hands, coughing. Her little body shakes all over with each cough, face bloody. Another scroll is in the Lady's hands, as she puts Yulia down and hadns the scroll to Adail with nary a word before leaving.
Nov 02 22:56:47 *   Adail casts detect magic, then uses the scroll, watching as the disease fades and vainly hoping it will give him any clues though knowing it isn't likely too.
Nov 02 22:56:56 <Kotono>   OOC: Roll heal.
Nov 02 22:57:33 <Adail>   roll 1d20+9 so taking more ranks in this later
Nov 02 22:57:34 <Hatbot>   
ACTION --> "Adail rolls 1d20+9 so taking more ranks in this later and gets 22." [1d20=13]
Nov 02 22:57:42 <Kotono>   Yulia perks up once it's done, wiping her face clean, "Hey listen...thanks..." With an awkward smile, "Her hands were so cold, but I was burning up." Meanwhile Adail makes no new noteworthy discoveries.
Nov 02 22:59:23 <Adail>   "It's only going to come back. For both of us. And Ami. And possibly the others as well. We'll just have to keep enduring it until we can figure out how to stop it from adapting." Adail sighs, then gestures towards the books, "Magical healing isn't the end all be all. So let's see what we can learn, hmm?"
Nov 02 22:59:44 <Kotono>   Meanwhile...
Nov 02 23:00:09 <Kotono>   Meanwhile...for Mari, it is a miserable, hot night. Sleep comes at first, but fades away. With it comes pain in her chet, coughing and bleeding from her mouth and nose. The world seems to be slipping into a nightmare of misery, time stretching out...how long is it in weeping, bleeding rest? Mari isn't sure, sleep and awareness blending together as one. At last the horrible night has a break.
Nov 02 23:00:09 <Kotono>   Her door opens, the Lady entering. She looks on at Mari, and after a moment comes to her bedside.
Nov 02 23:00:17 <Kotono>   *chest
Nov 02 23:03:03 *   Mari rubs at her face, looks at the back of her hand, the blood on the pillow and bed. "Think you're gonna need some new sheets," she says weakly. "How's everyone else?"
Nov 02 23:04:23 <Kotono>   "Adail, Yulia and Ami have had the Bleeding Death. Knight and Kamvakua have not. Nikkolai is beyond such misery." The Lady comes to sit at Mari's bedside, "Servant, a higher state of existance in unlife would end the threat of the plague for you forever. I can have Adail cure you, but it is only a temporary solution. Be warned."
Nov 02 23:06:36 <Mari>   "Temporary'll have to do for now."
Nov 02 23:08:58 <Kotono>   "Will it?" The Lady's eyebrow goes up, "I have analyzed the magic of the Bleeding Death. There is no doubt such a fiendish work is the fruit of the Oinoloth's poisoned throne. It adapts, overcoming the normal immunity to disease the survivors gains. It is relentless, a perfect hunter of life. With Ursagel defeated and his knowledge and the knowledge he hoards in his keep, a remedy is surely
Nov 02 23:08:58 <Kotono>   possible. Be warned, it may take longer than you have to live with the Bleeding Death."
Nov 02 23:11:34 <Mari>   "'May's' a whole lot better than 'will.' We've got some time and we'll just have to make good use of it. Anything else?"
Nov 02 23:13:13 <Kotono>   "One thing," The Lady rises, "Adail and Yulia got sick. Outsiders are not immune to this." In a calm, expressoinless voice, "The Oinoloth has found a weapon, that if properly honed to perfection on this world, that could cut any realm asunder. Even those beyond mortal death, where spirits reside. Understand that I offer you the only assured safety from the Bleeding Death."
Nov 02 23:15:53 <Mari>   "I understood the first time." She shrugs. "You'd make everyone this offer, I guess?"
Nov 02 23:18:40 <Kotono>   "For now, just you." The Lady turns away, seemingly content to walk out. She pauses at the doorway, turning back. "Know that I offer you eternal life and eternal protection, and ask nothing in return. My services are without the cost of a single coin to you, Mari. What few others would be so generous?"
Nov 02 23:22:04 <Mari>   "Don't know. The planes are a big place, though." Mari lets her head drop on the pillow again. "Talk to me again when we've got work to do."
