035. "Hey, who are you calling ugly, demon hag?" "I think we're done talking."

[20:15] <Ko-away> -------------------
[20:17] <Ko-away> Rested and regeared, the three(Four with Antenora) party returns to the ruins. The passage to the room of ruined pillars is without incident, on on arriving, you find that the statues around the door are gone, vanished.
[20:18] <Alicia> Is the room otherwise the same?
[20:19] <Ko-away> The room's pillars are disarrayed on a second look, in a different formation. PAst them, you can see a second door on the wall ahead, beyond the one that leads to the racing platforms on a cable.
[20:20] <Seira> "That must be the door leading to a room with a summoning circle," Seira muses. "We should take a look."
[20:21] * Ko-away is now known as Kotono
[20:21] * Demedais blinks. "So... this place does change every time. How perfectly weird. Fits those bloody gnomes, though." At Seira's comment, he nods. "Let's do that."
[20:22] * Alicia has no objection and follows along readily.
[20:22] <Kotono> "Changing, like an Outer Plane?" Antenora ventures, "The Material  plane does not ch ange to whims and desires of greater beings in such a way, does it not?"
[20:23] <Kotono> Going to that door, yo ufind a small stairway winding downward. It's dim here and looks to go on for a goodly ways.
[20:23] <Seira> "There can be a series of shifting paths," Seira suggests. "We could always ask Ajan. He did promise to explain that which we have surpassed with our own strength."
[20:23] * Seira can see just fine and goes ahead.
[20:24] <Alicia> "With enough magic, anything is possible," Alicia tells Antenora. "It's only over a small area, not the entire plane, after all." Unlike certain chimeras and outsiders, she can't see in the dark, and so casts Light on a pebble to provide illumination.
[20:24] * Demedais follows Seira, shrugging a bit at the devil. She'd know better than he would, anyways.
[20:24] <Alicia> roll 1d100
[20:24] <Rei-chan> 6,0Alicia rolled :6,0 1d100 --> 6,0[ 1d100=40 ]4,0{40}
[20:25] <Kotono> The steps wind for perhaps five minutes, a long, trecherous descent. As you go down, runes of gray line the walls, that begin to glow red as you go deeper in. Runes accompanied by the images of fearsome devils, Barbed, Bearded and even a vast Lord of the Pit spanning over all of them.
[20:26] * Demedais bites off a few comments as they go downward.
[20:26] * Seira checks to see if all erinyes are supposed to be nudists, or if their pet is an exception.
[20:27] <Kotono> Some of the devils do wear armor, some don't. Antenora eyes the walls, "How homey," she drawls, but then, ever so nicely, "But I shouldn't be thinking of that as home any more, should I, Mistress?"
[20:27] <Alicia> "If you ever want to go back, you need only ask," Alicia replies just as nicely.
[20:29] <Kotono> "I'll pass," Antenora smiles right back, as the party descends down. At the bottom is a chamber carved into the earth, sandy rocks melted into a glassy sheen. Here a grand, silent and unlit portal sits. Ancient candles surround it, still intact.
[20:30] <Seira> The situation calls for Detect Magic. Seira obliges.
[20:30] <Alicia> "Your self preservation instinct is one of your more endearing qualities," Alicia returns, before looking over the portal. "Still, I'd assume that activating that portal would be a bad thing for all concerned."
[20:30] <Kotono> The portal is carved into the ground, a grand pentram of dozens of lines, angles and runes.  IT looks all the world lik ea benign chalk drawing on a casual glance.
[20:31] <Seira> roll 1d20+21
[20:31] <Rei-chan> 6,0Seira rolled :6,0 1d20+21 --> 6,0[ 1d20=14 ]4,0{35}
[20:32] * Seira casually checks for traps!
[20:32] <Seira> roll 1d20+11
[20:32] <Rei-chan> 6,0Seira rolled :6,0 1d20+11 --> 6,0[ 1d20=6 ]4,0{17}
[20:32] <Kotono> "If I may, Mistress?" Antenora looks on at the portal. "Perhaps I can be of aid?"
[20:33] <Demedais> "So. How is this thing disabled permanently?" Demedais inquires, glancing to the three others.
[20:34] * Alicia looks towards the Erinyes expectantly. "If you have any input then by all means," she allows.
[20:35] <Kotono> Antenora kneels down, inspecting the portal...
[20:35] <Kotono> roll 1d20+16
[20:35] <Rei-chan> 6,0Kotono rolled :6,0 1d20+16 --> 6,0[ 1d20=14 ]4,0{30}
[20:37] <Seira> "It's dormant but we can kick it back into gear with the proper ritual?" Seira asks.
[20:37] <Kotono> "Mmm..." she gently strokes the edge of the ground near it. "From the Infernal runes, I can tell that it's meant to call on a pact to summon devils to do 'His Bidding'. Mmm...this one is very strong. It's keyed to summon mid and greater devils." Pausing, Antenora stands, a small smile on her face,"It is dangerous, however. Smashing the portal and the ground would work, but assuming it's merely latent, there is a danger in doing so."
[20:37] <Kotono> "I imagine so, if one wished to summon devils that badly," Antenora continues, a lidded look at Seira.
[20:38] * Seira nods. "Pretty much what I thought. I'm tempted to smash it, but I don't see how it actually harms anyone. Does the summoner have to be in this room to do it?"
[20:38] <Alicia> "Worry not, Antenora, you're more than enough devil for us," Alicia mutters, shaking her head. "It'd be harmful if say... Irenes or Mihail were to chance upon this place and 'kick it back into gear', as you say."
[20:39] <Seira> "The devils they summon would probably turn on them," Seira responds. "The His part probably refers to the God-King, doesn't it?"
[20:39] <Kotono> "Osyluth and Cornugon are the main ones so keyed," Antenora demurs at that, "Bone and Horned Devils, as well as hosts of support."
[20:40] <Alicia> "Yes, then after killing their summoner do you think they'd obligingly go home, or would they do exactly what the last horde of devils to find a portal to the Prime did?" Alicia reasons. "I say we take it out of commission, permanently."
[20:40] <Seira> "What's the danger that you mentioned?" Seira asks before they do any smashing of ancient magical portals.
[20:41] <Kotono> "Oh, it could partially function and summon in a few devils...or at very worst, activate and suck all within into some part of the NIne Hells." Antenora does demur at that, a slighty more pointed look. "While unlikely, I confess I still have no desire to go back."
[20:42] <Seira> "Sounds like fun," Seira mentions, casting Mage Armor upon herself in preparation, and drawing her sword.
[20:42] <Alicia> "Maybe if we were to smash it with that chaos hammer it might be more likely to ruin it completely without allowing any of its magic to go off?" Alicia suggests after a moment's thought.
[20:43] <Kotono> roll 1d20+16
[20:43] <Rei-chan> 6,0Kotono rolled :6,0 1d20+16 --> 6,0[ 1d20=17 ]4,0{33}
[20:43] <Kotono> "...Perhaps. A portal to the NIne Hells is ordered and well defined." Antenora ponders on this. "Chaos is the anathema to it as well as good."
[20:44] <Alicia> "Hmm... I could smite it, in that case," Alicia muses, checking the portal over to see if it does radiate evil.
[20:44] <Demedais> "If smiting works, then both of us hitting it at once, in theory, should work even better, correct?" Demedais comments.
[20:45] * Alicia staggers a bit and puts a hand to her head. "Yes, I would feel significantly better with this out of commission," she decides, casting enlarge person on herself before drawing her sword, the now greatsword sized blades far better suited for doing property damage.
[20:45] <Seira> "Except you'd probably want to save it for the unfortunate event where devils get summoned as a result."
[20:45] <Alicia> roll 1d100
[20:45] <Rei-chan> 6,0Alicia rolled :6,0 1d100 --> 6,0[ 1d100=33 ]4,0{33}
[20:46] * Alicia walks around to the opposite side of the portal and raises her sword high. "Demedais, strike together on three?" she suggests.
[20:46] <Kotono> Antenora steps slight back, behind enlarged Alicia. "Hmph," Alicia can hear Antenora murmur under her breath.
[20:46] * Demedais glances to Seira. "Any better suggestions, before we break this?"
[20:47] <Seira> "Not really, have fun."
[20:49] * Demedais raises an eyebrow for a second before raising his own sword, prepared to try and break the thing down into its respective components.
[20:49] * Alicia waits for Demedais to get in position before speaking. "One, two, three!" and on three, she brings her oversized sword downwards, shimmering with holy energy as she delivers a graceless razing strike through the pentagram, sacrificing art in order to gouge deeply and arc her blade through as much of the design as she can reach on a single stroke.
[20:49] <Kotono> roll 1d100-10
[20:49] <Rei-chan> 6,0Kotono rolled :6,0 1d100-10 --> 6,0[ 1d100=50 ]4,0{40}
[20:50] * Demedais swings at the same time, slicing at an angle through the pentagram as much as possible, unleashing holy energy through it at the same time!
[20:52] <Kotono> Two blades given holy power slam into the portal, tearing into it! Alicia and Demedais' wrath wrecks heavy as they savagely tear into this symbol of evil! There is a groan from the portal, a shaking that rattles your feet. A faint circle appears, to where you see a vast city of bone. Of ordered courtyards and streets, where great devils march, lesser ones following, hauling caged carts of screaming, pleading humans and humanoids. But this gha
[20:52] <Kotono>  But this ghastly image is only seen a second, as the portal cracks! There is a gushing release, then a silence.
[20:52] * Alicia shivers at the sight she just saw. "Closer than I ever wanted to get to Hell..." she mutters, checking to see if the evil aura is dissipating.
[20:53] <Alicia> "It seems to have worked, however."
[20:53] <Seira> "It did," Seira affirms. "Well, time to move on."
[20:54] * Alicia walks over the pentagram, dragging her feet to mess up the design further so no one can chance across it and take inspiration from the runes. Once on the other side, she allows herself to shrink back to normal size.
[20:54] <Demedais> "Indeed." Demedais grunts. "Rather not stay here, given the choice."
[20:55] <Kotono> Antenora looks on wordlessly, her face a strange mask. She follows Alicia quietly otherwise. Now that the portal is ruined, there is a lingering, unpleasant chill in the air here.
[20:55] <Seira> "I suppose we should wait a couple of minutes, and then proceed onwards."
[20:56] <Alicia> "Having second thoughts about a chance to go back?" Alicia asks the fiend. "If nothing else, it didn't seem very chaotic."
[20:57] <Kotono> "The Hells are vast. Not every part can ber uined at once," Antenora returns a little quickly. "Be happy...surely smashing this portal issomething right in line with your goals."
[20:58] <Kotono> MEanwhile, there is no sign of anything, just a chilly chamber.
[20:58] * Demedais leans against a wall, waiting for Seira to give the go-ahead.
[20:58] <Alicia> "I can't say I'll miss it," Alicia shrugs, waiting by the stairs for Seira to be ready to leave.
[20:59] * Seira is pretty satisfied by now and leads the way onwards!
[20:59] * Demedais follows without hesitation.
[20:59] * Demedais then immediately pauses. "Uh."
[21:00] <Demedais> "Seira, we have something coming down the stairs towards us, I think."
[21:00] <Seira> "If it's the statues of devils having come to life, you know what to do," she tells Demedais, happy to have him take lead here.
[21:01] * Seira casts Shield in the meantime.
[21:01] * Demedais nods slightly and leads the way himself.
[21:01] <Alicia> "What kind of something?" Alicia asks, debating whether it's worth blowing a spell on, and if so which spell.
[21:02] <Kotono> The party heads up! The trip up is quiet and tense, but nothing intervenes. The room with crumbling pillars is reached again without incident.
[21:03] <Demedais> "I don't know. I heard something... a click, or something. Faint, but it sounded like it was coming down. Mmmph."
[21:03] <Alicia> "Don't see anything..." Alicia looks around warily, keeping her blades at the ready.
[21:03] <Seira> "Well, let's go on while I still have the spell up," Seira suggests, not seeming all that irritated, and heads onwards.
[21:04] <Demedais> "Apologies, Seira." Demedais grunts, looking around carefully before following the Captain.
[21:04] <Kotono> OOC - Spot check, Deme and Alicia.
[21:04] <Seira> "Hey, better safe than sorry," she tells him. "No worries!"
[21:04] <Demedais> roll 1d20+8
[21:04] <Rei-chan> 6,0Demedais rolled :6,0 1d20+8 --> 6,0[ 1d20=7 ]4,0{15}
[21:05] <Alicia> roll 1d20+1
[21:05] <Rei-chan> 6,0Alicia rolled :6,0 1d20+1 --> 6,0[ 1d20=6 ]4,0{7}
[21:06] <Alicia> Not seeing anything to be concerned about, Alicia relaxes her guard a bit as they continue onwards towards the treacherous rope-lift.
[21:07] * Demedais shrugs and moves on, irritated at himself for jumping at noises.
[21:07] <Kotono> As the party progresses, Antenora stops. She casually withdraws her black spear, "Mistress," she comments, "We have company."
[21:08] * Alicia tenses up again and turns to look in whichever direction Antenora is looking.
[21:08] <Demedais> "So I wasn't imagining it!" Demedais growls, drawing his sword and following the collective gaze.
[21:09] <Kotono> Turning, the party gets a glimpse of a huamnoid figure in dull, blending gray ducking behind one of the pillars!
[21:09] <Kotono> OOC - It's surprise is utterly spoiled, so let's roll initiative here.
[21:09] <Alicia> roll 1d20+4
[21:09] <Rei-chan> 6,0Alicia rolled :6,0 1d20+4 --> 6,0[ 1d20=3 ]4,0{7}
[21:09] <Seira> "Yeah, that'll work," Seira comments with a snort.
[21:09] <Seira> roll 1d20+11 nerveskitter
[21:09] <Rei-chan> 6,0Seira rolled :6,0 1d20+11 1,0nerveskitter --> 6,0[ 1d20=20 ]4,0{31}
[21:10] <Demedais> roll 1d20
[21:10] <Rei-chan> 6,0Demedais rolled :6,0 1d20 --> 6,0[ 1d20=20 ]4,0{20}
[21:10] <Kotono> roll 1d20+5
[21:10] <Rei-chan> 6,0Kotono rolled :6,0 1d20+5 --> 6,0[ 1d20=4 ]4,0{9}
[21:10] <Kotono> roll 1d20+5 baddie
[21:10] <Rei-chan> 6,0Kotono rolled :6,0 1d20+5 1,0baddie --> 6,0[ 1d20=14 ]4,0{19}
[21:10] * Kotono changes topic to 'Seira>Demedais>Gray Baddie>Antenora>Demedais'
[21:10] * Kotono changes topic to 'Seira>Demedais>Gray Baddie>Antenora>DAlicia (Ooops, used to putting Deme here.)'
[21:11] <Demedais> OOC: Oh geez thanks.
[21:11] <Seira> "This is your one and only chance to come out with your arms raised!" Seira calls to the hiding humanoid.
[21:13] <Kotono> Seira's words get no reply at all.
[21:13] * Seira sets off towards the pillar at an angle to see what exactly they are facing.
[21:14] <Kotono> Seira scurries along, getting a look at it. It's a human creature garbed in gray, pallid skinned and bald. It has a longbow it's readying.
[21:15] <Seira> Time to see how he likes his acid, then, Seira decides. He can always surrender once he is in horrible, blistering pain, after all.
[21:16] <Seira> roll 1d20+11 ranged touch
[21:16] <Rei-chan> 6,0Seira rolled :6,0 1d20+11 1,0ranged touch --> 6,0[ 1d20=20 ]4,0{31}
[21:16] <Seira> roll 1d20+11 ranged touch crit?!
[21:16] <Rei-chan> 6,0Seira rolled :6,0 1d20+11 1,0ranged touch crit?! --> 6,0[ 1d20=10 ]4,0{21}
[21:16] <Kotono> OOc...crit.
[21:16] <Seira> roll 10d8+2d6
[21:16] <Rei-chan> 6,0Seira rolled :6,0 10d8+2d6 --> 6,0[ 10d8=43 2d6=11 ]4,0{54}
[21:17] <Kotono> The distinct hiss of acid is heard in the chamber, as the sneaky creature's face is melted! It can only scream as it collapes, the white of it's skull seen as it's face is dissolved! He thrashes for several moments, then slows, then finally stops. OOC - Well, that was an owning. Free action.
[21:18] <Seira> "Oh well," Seira comments, going over to look whether he had anything magical, before proceeding to check for any signs of identification.
[21:18] <Demedais> "..." Demedais eyes Seira as he sheathes his sword. "That was a bit quicker than I'm used to."
[21:18] <Alicia> "That was brief," is about all the reaction Alicia can muster.
[21:19] <Seira> "I've been training!" Seira says brightly.
[21:19] <Kotono> "...humph," Antenora mutters in irritation, "What an unworthy distraction."
[21:19] * Seira picks the longbow on general principal, moving on.
[21:19] <Kotono> Seira finds the following: Longbow, arrows, short sword, satchel with some food, a few loose gold nuggets.
[21:22] <Kotono> The party moves on. Through the archway, finding the lifts awaiting.
[21:22] <Alicia> "Demedais, do you want to tie yourself to the lift?" Alicia asks as delicately as she's able. Which is about as blunt as a brick to the face.
[21:23] <Seira> "I have spells that can do that," Seira suggests, resisting the urge to cackle.
[21:24] * Demedais pulls out rope from his bag. "Frankly? Yes." he replies without any shame to it. "This time I won't have any easy-" a glare at Seira; "any easy way back up." Doffing his armor and throwing it in the bag quickly, he shrugs. "Whomever first."
[21:25] * Alicia cooly steps onto the lift and sits herself down, bracing her back against the side.
[21:25] <Seira> "Let's all go together. Two of us can fly if it comes to that, and I have other spells to help us survive if it tips over."
[21:25] <Kotono> Antenora follows wordlessly.
[21:26] * Demedais nods and steps on, tying himself on wordlessly.
[21:28] <Kotono> So belted down, Demedais has little trouble staying on! The platform begins to race, but nothing challenges from above. But about halfway, there is a fearsome THUMP, the entire platform shaking! OOC - None Demedais pepple, make balance checks?
[21:28] <Kotono> OOC - Non Demedais people. What the fuck?
[21:28] <Seira> roll 1d20+13
[21:28] <Rei-chan> 6,0Seira rolled :6,0 1d20+13 --> 6,0[ 1d20=15 ]4,0{28}
[21:28] <Alicia> roll 1d20+4 no bonus for preperation?
[21:28] <Rei-chan> 6,0Alicia rolled :6,0 1d20+4 1,0no bonus for preperation? --> 6,0[ 1d20=18 ]4,0{22}
[21:29] <Kotono> roll 1d20+5 Point, but with these rolls I'm not sure it's going to matter anyway.
[21:29] <Rei-chan> 6,0Kotono rolled :6,0 1d20+5 1,0Point, but with these rolls I'm not sure it's going to matter anyway. --> 6,0[ 1d20=5 ]4,0{10}
[21:30] <Kotono> The buckling, bouncing platform evicts Antenora...who after falling a bit, starts to fly and is left behind, following. Soon the platform finishes, depositing everyone on the other side, save Antenora who slowly approaches.
[21:31] * Alicia calmly gets up and steps off the platform, looking out over the pit and waiting patiently for Antenora to catch up.
[21:31] <Kotono> Antenora's face shows a trace of irritation as she lands, settling back in behind Alicia.
[21:31] * Demedais unties himself and gets off. Quickly.
[21:32] * Seira moves forward!
[21:32] * Demedais follows at his usual pace.
[21:32] <Alicia> "Next is that passage with the enchantment to make us think we're lost. Remember to stay close," Alicia reminds everyone as she follows Seira onwards, not commenting on her ward's little tumble.
[21:33] * Seira has the rope handy, and offers it to the others. "As long as we're actually connected, it wouldn't matter."
[21:34] * Alicia obligingly takes hold of part of the rope.
[21:34] * Demedais takes the rope and nods.
[21:34] <Kotono> With such precations, the party sets out into the cave! The twisting passages make your head dizzy,as...OOC - Will saves around.
[21:34] <Alicia> roll 1d20+14
[21:34] <Rei-chan> 6,0Alicia rolled :6,0 1d20+14 --> 6,0[ 1d20=1 ]4,0{15}
[21:34] <Kotono> roll 1d20+11
[21:34] <Seira> roll 1d20+9
[21:34] <Rei-chan> 6,0Kotono rolled :6,0 1d20+11 --> 6,0[ 1d20=2 ]4,0{13}
[21:34] <Rei-chan> 6,0Seira rolled :6,0 1d20+9 --> 6,0[ 1d20=8 ]4,0{17}
[21:35] <Demedais> roll 1d20+10 sorry, had a coughing fit
[21:35] <Rei-chan> 6,0Demedais rolled :6,0 1d20+10 1,0sorry, had a coughing fit --> 6,0[ 1d20=13 ]4,0{23}
[21:36] <Kotono> With some difficulty the party makes it through. While Alicia and Antenora have a very bad time of it, Demedais gets them through without incident. The last room is empty now, a shattered battleground of four pillars. Ahead is the door that leads to the stairway down, and then Ajan.
[21:37] * Seira continues towards Ajan as long as the scenery doesn't change and reveal new avenues to explore.
[21:37] * Alicia shakes her head a bit to clear it and glances back towards that passage. "I always thought I had a decent sense of direction, but that gets me every time," she laments, before continuing onwards.
[21:38] <Kotono> "It's cursed," Antenora says bitterly, as Seira leads the way to Ajan. Inside you find him waiting, turned to face you as you enter this time. "You return again."
[21:39] <Seira> "We're very persistent!" Seira agrees. "Ajan, could you tell us more about the purpose behind the passage we have come through? We are particularly interested in how it keeps on changing."
[21:40] <Kotono> "The passages leading in are meant to weed out the casual and unworthy. To give those a chance to turn back before this point, where there is no mercy or quarter given to those that come without the blessings of the True Gods." Ajan watches, looming ove rthe party, casting them into shadows.
[21:41] <Seira> "Is there a way to disable the trap that disorients some of us?"
[21:42] <Kotono> "On that matter, I cannot speak," Ajan says.
[21:43] <Alicia> "Do you know about the guardians of those areas?" Alicia asks curiously. "The man with aspects of a crow who summoned mephits, and the grey archer?"
[21:44] <Demedais> "...the grey archer may have been a straggler from a previous exploration party, maybe?" Demedais muses.
[21:44] <Seira> "Nothing was on the reports, and he didn't have enough good with him."
[21:45] <Kotono> "Kerrigan was a servant who willingly pledged to stay here. His own power is not great, but he wished to serve. In his death, he has fulfilled his last duty and rests with his God now." After a moment, "Over the years, occasionally wanderers have chanced on these ruins. Some are never seen again, lost."
[21:45] <Seira> "What about the devils working on weapons for their long-dead masters?" Seira asks next. "Is there a way to dismiss them back to their plane of origin?"
[21:47] * Alicia frowns a bit at Ajan's description, recalling the palpable evil she sensed in this 'Kerrigan'. It's a stark reminder that not only the Gods of righteousness were involved in this, and throws Ajan's own role into question, especially coupled with Rosamund's description of the dragon's earlier years.
[21:48] <Kotono> "Such is a matter I may not talk of," Ajan demurs from that.
[21:49] <Seira> "Does this mean that whatever we do with them, including leaving them alone or killing them all, doesn't matter to the gods that put you in charge?"
[21:50] <Kotono> "I means that this matter is not one I can talk of," Ajan returns.
[21:51] <Alicia> "He did say he could only speak about obstacles we've overcome," Alicia notes. "We'll need to figure it out for ourselves."
[21:52] <Seira> "Can we ask you about something that isn't related to the obstacles and trials, Ajan?" Seira ventures.
[21:53] <Kotono> "Whas it it you wish, Siera?" Ajan leans down, his head radiating sparks as he gets closer to Seira. "
[21:53] <Kotono> OOC - Ignore the last "
[21:55] <Seira> Seira is actually mildly intimidated, but doesn't really let it show as she continues. "I've been trying to get in touch with your son, but all I get is dead ends. Is there any chance you could help me? You knew about Kondrux, so if there's some way you could point me in the right direction, I would appreciate it."
[21:58] <Kotono> A silence settles in, on the deep, rattling, fiery breathing of Ajan making any noise at all. Ajan is very close to Seira, his fiery mouth surely able to swallow her in one bite. "My son?"
[21:58] * Demedais just watches the conversation, almost bemused.
[21:59] <Seira> Nothing to do but forge on fearlessly, now! "Yes. That's what the history books claim. Are they wrong about you and Kangap? Even some figments of the past spoke of you two."
[22:00] <Alicia> Alicia's expression likely mirror's Demedais' as she merely watches, feeling vaguely unsettled but at the same time she doesn't legitimately expect Ajan to actually do anything hostile.
[22:01] <Kotono> "They are not," Ajan answers, "Seira..." Ajan slowly raises his head back up, "Go on in the ruins. You seek answers to many questions of the past, and they all lie within, somewhere."
[22:03] <Seira> Kangap is within? Or he could just be metaphoric. Seira doesn't voice her annoyance, thanking Ajan instead and proceeding towards the wooden door behind which Lagann was resting for millennia.
[22:04] * Demedais follows Seira, waiting until they're through the portal before uttering, "Translation: stop pissing off the poor imprisioned dragon who's likely more than a bit strained from all of this."
[22:05] * Alicia briefly nods towards the towering wyrm before she follows Seira towards the last doorway through the Fifth Resort chamber. Or was it Third?
[22:05] <Seira> "He's restrained by the very fabric of magic itself," Seira says with a frown. "He can't resist his duty. And what's wrong with going to the source with questions?"
[22:06] <Kotono> The two enter into the chambers of the Fifth Resort. Through a glowing pool, to a room of dormant metal and illusions. AT the end is a simple door awaiting them...
[22:06] <Alicia> "Looks safe, anyway," Alicia puts aside the dragon conversation as she peers down the slope through the illusory floor. "The orb isn't acting up, is it?"
[22:07] * Demedais drops the conversation as well, looking through the illusion to see if time has made the place any less livel.
[22:07] <Seira> "Okay," Seira says once everyone has gathered around. "Time to see if the metal behaves!" At Alicia's words, she asks, "Lagann, ready to use your skills?"
[22:12] <Kotono> SEira can feel a faint howling in her mind.
[22:13] * Seira opens the door and glances beyond it.
[22:15] <Kotono> Beyond is a pleasant plaza. White stone floors with grassy square in the center. To the north end and the east end are two more doors. It's quite quiet and well lit here.
[22:15] <Kotono> OOC - Strike.
[22:16] <Kotono> The room is full of rusted metals and metal scraps, as the party remembers it. For now, it's inert and unmoving, no particular forms.
[22:16] * Seira commands Lagann to create a bridge for them across the pit, allowing him to make it as jagged as he wishes as long as it allows passage from one end to the other.
[22:19] <Kotono> OOC - Int check.
[22:19] <Seira> roll 1d20+9

[22:22] <Kotono> There is a problem. Oh sure, the metal rises up, but it's hovering in the air...before dozens of large metal fragments zoom at Seira! A torrent of them, slamming into her!

[22:23] <Rei-chan> 6,0Kotono rolled :6,0 4d6+16 --> 6,0[ 4d6=14 ]4,0{30}
[22:24] <Kotono> Seira's reactions get her embedded with several chunks of metal, in her hands like grotesque claws, in her face, like a macrabre fan of metal shielding her, burrowing into her flesh, like plated armor that scrapes in!
[22:24] <Seira> "I see Lagann chose an excruciating death. Fine. That is a valid choice."
[22:26] <Demedais> "..." Demedais hesitates for just a moment, before grabbing his wand and using four charges to try and patch the slashes made by the metal.
[22:26] <Demedais> roll 4d8+4
[22:26] <Rei-chan> 6,0Demedais rolled :6,0 4d8+4 --> 6,0[ 4d8=20 ]4,0{24}
[22:26] <Kotono> Antenora very quickly steps out of the way of Seira, as meanwhile, the metal masses in the room start to writhe.
[22:27] * Alicia is a bit slower with the wand than Demedais, and so settles for closing the door so no more metal can assault the party. "Lets leave the orb behind somewhere with no metal, shall we?" she requests, sounding a bit strained.
[22:27] <Kotono> The magic of Demedais does wonders to her wounds, many chunks of metal explunged by regenerating flesh.
[22:27] <Seira> Beyond caring at this point, Seira shakes her head. "I'd rather have a metal bridge across, and I won't settle for anything less."
[22:27] <Seira> roll 1d20+9 I can always return as a straight mage
[22:27] <Rei-chan> 6,0Seira rolled :6,0 1d20+9 1,0I can always return as a straight mage --> 6,0[ 1d20=17 ]4,0{26}

[22:28] <Rei-chan> 6,0Kotono rolled :6,0 1d20+7 --> 6,0[ 1d20=9 ]4,0{16}
[22:28] <Kotono> There are some thumps against the door, even one large shard poking out of it, but those finally cease. You hear a more orderly procession of metals after, clicking and clanking.
[22:29] * Seira opens the door, ready to cross.
[22:29] * Alicia looks slowly between the door and Seira. "One day your recklessness will be the death of you," she states flatly.
[22:29] <Seira> "Says the woman redeeming a devil," Seira responds with a snort.
[22:29] <Kotono> Floating in the air is a bridge of metals, loose but forming an easy walkway across the illusioned floor.
[22:30] * Seira walks across it imperiously to open the door on the other side.
[22:31] <Kotono> The bridge crossing is without incident. The door is opened! Ahead is a room of white stone floor, with doors ahead to the north and east. In the center is a square of pleasant looking grass.
[22:31] * Demedais watches Seira cross before following himself, desiring to stay away from this conversation.
[22:31] <Demedais> "Always more doors. Never just a simple 'well, okay, moving on'." Demedais grumbles. "At least this place is more cheerful than the rest, though it likely means the grass is trapped."
[22:32] <Seira> roll 1d20+11 traps to the east
[22:32] <Rei-chan> 6,0Seira rolled :6,0 1d20+11 1,0traps to the east --> 6,0[ 1d20=12 ]4,0{23}
[22:32] <Seira> roll 1d20+11 traps to the north
[22:32] <Rei-chan> 6,0Seira rolled :6,0 1d20+11 1,0traps to the north --> 6,0[ 1d20=16 ]4,0{27}
[22:32] * Alicia doesn't dignify that with a response, slowly proceeding into the next room and letting Seira check for traps, hopefully with some care.
[22:32] * Seira opens the northern door.
[22:35] <Kotono> Ahead is blue stone floors, a great, vast chamber. The air is thick with the tang of the salt sea. The floor has several holes in it where salt waters bubble up, a long hall. Around are the occasional crumbled pillar, table or statue. There is a generally blue tint to this room. You can't see the far end from here.
[22:35] * Demedais follows Seira, staying away from the grass.
[22:35] <Alicia> Entering the room, Alicia strolls over to one of the holes and peers into the water below.
[22:36] <Kotono> The water is green and clear. She can see a long hole that darkens before she can detect a bottom.
[22:36] <Seira> roll 1d20+21
[22:36] <Rei-chan> 6,0Seira rolled :6,0 1d20+21 --> 6,0[ 1d20=4 ]4,0{25}
[22:36] <Seira> roll 1d20+21 pool
[22:36] <Rei-chan> 6,0Seira rolled :6,0 1d20+21 1,0pool --> 6,0[ 1d20=1 ]4,0{22}
[22:37] * Demedais blinks at the water. "When did this place become a bloody outdoor paradise, again?"
[22:37] <Kotono> Antenora sniffs the air and follows along. "It smells like Balmuria without the smell of food in the air."
[22:38] * Seira decides to see the far end, herself.
[22:39] * Demedais warily follows Seira.
[22:39] <Alicia> With nothing terribly interesting besides pools she can't see the bottom of, Alicia has no problem moving on towards the distant far end.
[22:39] <Kotono> As Seira walks along, she soon sees that the water level rises. First just a little coating on the floor, bu tthen rising to knee level, and ahead to waist, chest and then finally total submersion. The floor slightly slopes downward through all of this, less light ahead as well.
[22:40] <Demedais> "How cheerful." Demedais comments, stopping at about knee level. "Shall we check the other path first?"
[22:41] <Seira> "No reason, we can breathe below just fine," Seira responds. "And I have a ring to allow one of us to swim well below."
[22:41] <Alicia> "We've come this far, so there's no point turning back if we're just going to come here again," Alicia reasons.
[22:41] <Seira> Water Breathing is cast without much effort, before Seira takes out the ring. "Anyone wants it?"
[22:42] * Alicia casts Message so they can all speak to each other easily underwater, and declines the ring.
[22:42] <Alicia> roll 1d100
[22:42] <Rei-chan> 6,0Alicia rolled :6,0 1d100 --> 6,0[ 1d100=12 ]4,0{12}
[22:42] <Kotono> "I'll take it," Antenora volunteers.
[22:43] <Seira> "Knock yourself out."
[22:44] <Kotono> Antenora puts the ring on! The enchantments are passed around, message and waer brething set!
[22:44] <Alicia> Duly enchanted, Alicia wades deeper into the water, showing no concern as it rises around her.
[22:45] * Seira decides to stick to magic below, but nonetheless has the artifact dagger close by.
[22:45] * Demedais trudges out of the water and glances at the ring for a moment, but then nods to Antenora. "If I find myself unable to keep up with you three, I'll wait for you here." he says before going in after Alicia.
[22:45] <Alicia> "No rush," Alicia returns. "We'll stick together."
[22:46] * Seira feels particularly vengeful and generally full of hate as she steps into the water, all of it directed towards Lagann.
[22:46] <Kotono> There are more pools as you descend into the water, breathing slowly becoming comfortable under the waves. Once it covers your head, you find that the path drops swiftly. It takes five minutes of slowly swimming down and descending to reach an end. Amid a few more pools, there is a great stone door set into the wall. On the right door, there is a small identation.
[22:48] * Alicia examines the indentation!
[22:50] <Alicia> "I'd assume its like a keyslot, and further that we probably need to search those tunnels for something to fit in it," Alicia declares her findings to the group.
[22:50] * Demedais glances at the tunnels warily.
[22:51] <Kotono> The tunnels are quite dark on a glance.
[22:51] <Seira> "Is it dagger-sized?"
[22:52] <Alicia> "Looks like a scale - like on a fish or a..." she trails off and peers at Seira closely for a long moment. "Um... yes, like on a fish," she concludes after an awkward pause.
[22:53] * Demedais blinks at Alicia owlishly, before walking to the nearest hole. "Perhaps we can just drop lights down to see the bottom? ...not likely to be that easy." he grumbles after a second of thought.
[22:53] <Seira> "There could be some fish in the tunnels, but I'd rather try summoning them where we won't be impeded by water."
[22:54] <Demedais> "True." Demedais nods, before gesturing upwards.
[22:54] <Seira> Meanwhile, as they decide their next move, Seira gives the door a cursory check for the hidden
[22:54] <Seira> roll 1d20+11
[22:54] <Rei-chan> 6,0Seira rolled :6,0 1d20+11 --> 6,0[ 1d20=2 ]4,0{13}
[22:55] * Alicia goes over to take a look down the nearest tunnel.
[22:58] <Kotono> The nearest tunnel is about five feet wide and quite dark. One would need to be able to seae in the dark or drop a light to tell better.
[22:59] * Alicia drops her light source! She can make another.
[23:00] <Kotono> The pebble falls in the hole! After about five feet down, the waters in the tunnel churn! A vortex forms, sucking the pebble down ten more feet! You can see a bottom there, but the pebble vanishes into the whirlpool.
[23:00] * Demedais blinks at Alicia's action, before moving a bit away from that hole.
[23:01] * Alicia backs off a little. "Suddenly I find that swimming down there does not appeal too much."
[23:02] <Seira> "It could be like the whirlpools at the back entrance," Seira agrees. "They kill people."
[23:02] <Demedais> "Perhaps the trick is to find one that doesn't kill you. Admittedly, doing so sounds unappealing." Demedais guesses. "Other door?"
[23:03] <Seira> "Just a moment," Seira requests, considering.
[23:03] <Alicia> "Well, it seemed to vanish, like it was teleported," Alicia replies. "But going through would be quite a risk."
[23:06] <Alicia> "I have an idea," Alicia perks up and takes out a length of rope, knotting the end of it to weigh it down and then casting Light on said knot before she lowers it into the same tunnel.
[23:06] <Alicia> roll 1d100
[23:06] * Seira summons a small water elemental into the pool, drawing upon the power of her new bow. "Your tast is simple," she tells it. "Go through the teleportation, glance around, and return. It is key to see whether you can make it back, so have that as your first priority."
[23:06] <Rei-chan> 6,0Alicia rolled :6,0 1d100 --> 6,0[ 1d100=59 ]4,0{59}
[23:07] <Alicia> OOC: strike my line, actually, lets go with Seira's plan
[23:09] <Kotono> OOC: Can you speak Aquan, Seira? Elementals only speak their elemental language.
[23:10] <Seira> OOC: I'll sacrifice my scroll of Comprehend Languages if the bow doesn't let me command the stuff it summons for free
[23:10] <Kotono> OOC: Okay, done.
[23:13] <Kotono> OOC: You can take back using the scroll if you like.
[23:14] <Seira> OOC: k, it's just petty cash. Did this work?
[23:16] <Kotono> OOC: See #elysium. A summoned creature only attacks unless you can talk to it. If you can, you can instruct it not to attack and do other things. However, therein lies the problem since Comprehend only lets you understand, not speak languages.
[23:21] <Kotono> OOC: Anyway, awaiting the execution of your new plan.
[23:21] * Seira ties a rope around herself, hands the other end over, and jumps into the pool of death.
[23:22] * Demedais takes the other end, leaving room for Alicia to hold on as well.
[23:22] * Alicia holds onto the rope and peers down, ready to pull Seira back if she doesn't reappear within a few seconds of vanishing.
[23:24] <Kotono> Seira descents into the hole! Thew hirlpools begin as she does, sucking her away! OOC - #evil.

<--->

[21:26] <Kotono> ----
[21:27] <Kotono> A few seconds later, Seira's vision clears from a storm of bubbles. She floats freely in water, and about fifty feet down is an alcove. Set in this alcove and surrounded by glowing coral and mass(The only sorce of light Seira sees) is a shrine.  The entrance is a columned affair, policed by marching, back and forth greenish fish-men.
[21:28] <Kotono> Also, a little away from it, a glowing pebble sits on the bottom of the ground, giving some extra light.
[21:28] <Seira> The first thing Seira checks is whether she can make it back on her own.
[21:29] <Kotono> The rope goes up a few feet above her, from a seemingly innocent point of water. No signs of a whirlpool or tunnel here.
[21:30] * Seira uses the rope to climb up towards this innocent point of water, leaving a regular pebble next to it.
[21:32] <Kotono> Nothing happens. As far as Seira can tell, it's just a plain point of water. Above that, about ten feet up, is a blank stone roof.
[21:33] <Kotono> But as Seira is there, her rope goes taunt and begins to be tugged on.
[21:34] * Seira tries moving her lips silently as she sees whether she's still in Message range.
[21:36] <Kotono> Seira hears no reply.
[21:37] <Kotono> The rope is tugged forward a few times, trying to yank Seira along, towards the point where the rope vanishes.
[21:39] * Seira doesn't fight it, though she has a dagger ready in case the rope tries to make her merge with the ceiling.

<--->

[23:26] <Kotono> After Seira vanishes, the whirlpool begins to swirl again! It sucks the rope deeper in, tugging!
[23:28] * Alicia braces herself!
[23:28] * Demedais does the same, solid with the weight of his plate mail on him.
[23:29] <Kotono> OOC - Str checks. If you're just trying to stay put, +4 bonus.
[23:29] <Alicia> roll 1d20+10
[23:29] <Rei-chan> 6,0Alicia rolled :6,0 1d20+10 --> 6,0[ 1d20=11 ]4,0{21}
[23:30] <Demedais> roll 1d20+8 ...huh, Alicia has 22 Str?
[23:30] <Rei-chan> 6,0Demedais rolled :6,0 1d20+8 1,0...huh, Alicia has 22 Str? --> 6,0[ 1d20=18 ]4,0{26}
[23:30] <Kotono> Both manly(And womanly!) paladins are able to hold the line quite well. Antenora peers down quietly, but seems to be keeping her own thoughts right now.
[23:31] <Alicia> Having held on long enough, Alicia decides to bring Seira back. "Lets pull her up," she tells Demedais, proceeding to reel in her catch.
[23:32] * Demedais nods and begins slowly trying to pull her back up.
[23:38] <Kotono> After a few tugs, Seira appears, yanked out of the pool with force!
[23:39] <Alicia> "Good, you're safe," Alicia observes in relief as Seira is retrieved. "What did you find on the other side?"
[23:40] <Seira> "An alcove and fish-men," Seira says. "I couldn't go back on my own without employing magic in the time I had. It might be a good idea to have two of us go in, and the rest pull us out once we've examined that area."
[23:41] * Demedais nods grimly.
[23:42] <Alicia> "Sahugin?" Alicia narrows her eyes. "I'll go," she volunteers.
[23:43] <Kotono> "Shall I come with you, Mistress?" Antenora asks at that.
[23:43] * Seira blinks. "Demedais really should have backup to pull us back, and those who leave should have a contingency of their own. Which I have."
[23:45] <Alicia> "Okay, so we'll go while Demedais and Antenora keep the portal open? When we're ready to come back we'll give three sets of two tugs on the rope to let you know?" Alicia suggests.
[23:45] <Demedais> "Alternatively, we use three ropes, and I use the spikes from my tent to pin them down. Whatever works." Demedais shrugs.
[23:47] <Seira> "There should also be a time limit. Say, fifteen minutes? If there's no sign from us, pull the rope. If we're not there, replace the rope and repeat."
[23:49] * Demedais nods. "That can be done. Shall we fasten the ropes now to ensure that all three of you can return safely?"
[23:50] <Alicia> "Alright, then," Alicia agrees, helping Demedais secure his ropes before braving the watery portal.

[Corwin]

[16:43] * Demedais pauses for a second. "If the exit point isn't the same, Seira, tug twice on your rope and I'll leave all three as is. Else, I'll just use one rope to pull you guys back out.
[16:46] * Seira doesn't really have obections.
[16:46] <Ko-GrefterisSailorUranus> So the party proceeds into the hole! It sucks them down into the watery rift, into a dim, black patch of water. Below is an alcove surrounded by glowing mosses and coral, green fishmen patrolling the front of a small shrine. Columns support the front, a door able to be seen.
[16:51] <Alicia> Detaching herself from the rope, Alicia takes a moment to cast shield on herself. "I've yet to meet a friendly Sahugin," she observes.
[16:51] <Alicia> roll 1d100
[16:51] <Rei-chan> 6,0Alicia rolled :6,0 1d100 --> 6,0[ 1d100=67 ]4,0{67}
[16:52] * Sierra_Mikain (~Melanchth@pool-71-178-114-241.washdc.east.verizon.net) Quit (-=SysReset 2.53=-)
[16:53] <Seira> "I could set them on fire as a greeting," Seira proposes.
[16:54] <Ko-GrefterisSailorUranus> Antenora peers down, treading water as she watches.
[16:54] <Alicia> "Lets see if we can talk our way through this, first," Alicia suggests, checking to make sure her daggers are in easy reach before she starts to swim towards the shrine, looking to see if the Sahugin are as evil as she suspects.
[16:55] * Seira doesn't see much danger from them even if they do attack, and is content to let Alicia negotiate.
[16:56] <Alicia> Some relief there, then... hopefully they can speak Common, too, even if the water will wind up garbling things a bit. She can cast message if necessary to alleviate that, though.
[16:56] <Ko-GrefterisSailorUranus> As the party descends down, the aquatic warriors look up. They have tridents in hand, one of the two pointing up. They watch, weapons ready but not aggressive.
[16:59] * Alicia waves in a hopefully universal inoffensive greeting as she descends, before casting Message so that her words will carry to all the Sahugin she can see. "Greetings, can you understand me?" she asks.
[16:59] <Alicia> roll 1d100
[16:59] <Rei-chan> 6,0Alicia rolled :6,0 1d100 --> 6,0[ 1d100=70 ]4,0{70}
[17:01] <Ko-GrefterisSailorUranus> As Alicia talks, two more come out from the temple's door. They are at the ready as well, but one of the two guarders steps forward. "You've come?" The creature cocks it's head, "At last. Are you ready?"
[17:02] <Alicia> "Ready for what?" Alicia asks curiously, heartened by the friendly seeming response.
[17:05] <Ko-GrefterisSailorUranus> "To fight." He speaks to the point, "You're here to claim what's inside? We were given orders to oppose that under any cost." His voice lacks any real energy to it at first, but slowly rises.
[17:06] <Seira> "So you've basically waited all these years for someone to kill you?" Seira asks.
[17:09] <Ko-GrefterisSailorUranus> "It was our honor to," The second sahuagin steps forward as well, brandishing his trident, "Please, let us fulfill what we've waited so long for."
[17:09] <Seira> "By fighting us you agree to give us all your stuff." Seira nods, casting Mirror Image. "I find those terms reasonable."
[17:10] <Seira> roll 1d4+3
[17:10] <Rei-chan> 6,0Seira rolled :6,0 1d4+3 --> 6,0[ 1d4=2 ]4,0{5}
[17:11] * Alicia frowns a bit at Seira, before she reluctantly salutes towards the Sahugin. "If it is truly your will, so be it. But you need only ask, and quarter will be given," she tells the fishmen, saddened at the necessity of violence here, but respecting their desire for an end to such a long vigil.
[17:13] <Ko-GrefterisSailorUranus> "Then..." The sahuagin look amid each other, before starting to swim towards the party, tridents at the ready in a brief salute, before they fully charge. OOC - INitiative.
[17:14] <Alicia> roll 1d20+4
[17:14] <Rei-chan> 6,0Alicia rolled :6,0 1d20+4 --> 6,0[ 1d20=11 ]4,0{15}
[17:14] <Ko-GrefterisSailorUranus> roll 1d20+3
[17:14] <Rei-chan> 6,0Ko-GrefterisSailorUranus rolled :6,0 1d20+3 --> 6,0[ 1d20=1 ]4,0{4}
[17:14] <Ko-GrefterisSailorUranus> OOC - Group for them, bad luck.
[17:14] <Ko-GrefterisSailorUranus> roll 1d20+5 Antenora if she gets into it
[17:14] <Seira> roll 1d20+6
[17:14] <Rei-chan> 6,0Ko-GrefterisSailorUranus rolled :6,0 1d20+5 1,0Antenora if she gets into it --> 6,0[ 1d20=15 ]4,0{20}
[17:14] <Rei-chan> 6,0Seira rolled :6,0 1d20+6 --> 6,0[ 1d20=20 ]4,0{26}
[17:15] * Ko-GrefterisSailorUranus is now known as Kotono
[17:16] * Kotono changes topic to 'Seira>Antenora>Alicia>Sahuagin'
[17:17] * Seira gestures at the nearest charging fishman, sending a blast of acid at him before drawing her rapier and dagger.
[17:17] <Seira> roll 1d20+11 ranged touch
[17:17] <Rei-chan> 6,0Seira rolled :6,0 1d20+11 1,0ranged touch --> 6,0[ 1d20=3 ]4,0{14}
[17:18] <Kotono> OOC - HIt.
[17:18] <Seira> roll 5d8+2d6
[17:18] <Rei-chan> 6,0Seira rolled :6,0 5d8+2d6 --> 6,0[ 5d8=23 2d6=10 ]4,0{33}
[17:19] <Kotono> roll 1d20+10
[17:19] <Rei-chan> 6,0Kotono rolled :6,0 1d20+10 --> 6,0[ 1d20=19 ]4,0{29}
[17:19] <Kotono> The first charging fishman has his fishy flesh flayed feriously by acid, but remains charging! Antenora awaits for now, slowly manovering to the sides with surprising grace in the water. OOC - Alicia.
[17:22] * Alicia gestures towards the Sahugin to release a barrage of magic missiles, two at the most wounded one and one for each of the remaining three, before she draws her own daggers.
[17:22] <Alicia> roll 1d100
[17:22] <Rei-chan> 6,0Alicia rolled :6,0 1d100 --> 6,0[ 1d100=90 ]4,0{90}
[17:22] <Alicia> roll 2d4+2
[17:22] <Rei-chan> 6,0Alicia rolled :6,0 2d4+2 --> 6,0[ 2d4=7 ]4,0{9}
[17:22] <Alicia> roll 1d4+1
[17:22] <Rei-chan> 6,0Alicia rolled :6,0 1d4+1 --> 6,0[ 1d4=1 ]4,0{2}
[17:22] <Alicia> roll 1d4+1
[17:22] <Rei-chan> 6,0Alicia rolled :6,0 1d4+1 --> 6,0[ 1d4=4 ]4,0{5}
[17:22] <Alicia> roll 1d4+1
[17:22] <Rei-chan> 6,0Alicia rolled :6,0 1d4+1 --> 6,0[ 1d4=4 ]4,0{5}
[17:23] <Kotono> All are plunked by missiles, minor wounds. THe wounded one buckles badly, but keeps going despite the injury! With their naturally suited forms to swimming, the charge reaches the party! Two go at Seira, tridents stabbing!
[17:23] <Kotono> roll 1d20+14
[17:23] <Rei-chan> 6,0Kotono rolled :6,0 1d20+14 --> 6,0[ 1d20=8 ]4,0{22}
[17:23] <Kotono> roll 1d20+14
[17:23] <Rei-chan> 6,0Kotono rolled :6,0 1d20+14 --> 6,0[ 1d20=20 ]4,0{34}
[17:23] <Kotono> roll 1d20+14 crit check?
[17:23] <Rei-chan> 6,0Kotono rolled :6,0 1d20+14 1,0crit check? --> 6,0[ 1d20=4 ]4,0{18}
[17:24] <Kotono> OOC - AC underwater, SEira?
[17:24] <Seira> OOC: 28, why would it change? But roll 1d6 for mirror image, first.
[17:25] <Kotono> roll 1d6 attack one
[17:25] <Rei-chan> 6,0Kotono rolled :6,0 1d6 1,0attack one --> 6,0[ 1d6=3 ]4,0{3}
[17:25] <Kotono> roll 1d5 attack two
[17:25] <Rei-chan> 6,0Kotono rolled :6,0 1d5 1,0attack two --> 6,0[ 1d5=1 ]4,0{1}
[17:25] <Kotono> roll 1d8+6+1d2
[17:25] <Rei-chan> 6,0Kotono rolled :6,0 1d8+6+1d2 --> 6,0[ 1d8=4 1d2=2 ]4,0{12}
[17:27] <Kotono> Seira's images serve her well as the two close in on her! The greviously wounded one hacks apart a mirror image of SEira, but the second is inspired! HIs blow goes for the real one, stabbing her right in the leg! With a flick of his wrist the trident tears her flesh, doing just a little extra damage! Meanwhile, the other two settle in on Alicia for now!
[17:27] <Kotono> roll 1d20+14
[17:27] <Rei-chan> 6,0Kotono rolled :6,0 1d20+14 --> 6,0[ 1d20=11 ]4,0{25}
[17:27] <Kotono> roll 1d20+14
[17:27] <Rei-chan> 6,0Kotono rolled :6,0 1d20+14 --> 6,0[ 1d20=14 ]4,0{28}
[17:27] <Kotono> OOC - AC?
[17:28] <Alicia> OOC: 27
[17:28] <Kotono> roll 1d8+6+1d2
[17:28] <Rei-chan> 6,0Kotono rolled :6,0 1d8+6+1d2 --> 6,0[ 1d8=6 1d2=2 ]4,0{14}
[17:29] <Kotono> Alicia manages to parry one aside, while the second slips into her leg, punching through her armor! As all this happens, another sahuagin slowly emerges from the temple, looking on and not advancing. OOC - Seira.
[17:30] <Seira> Eager to test her spell in action, Seira calls upon the power of the spiral, infusing her weapons with it! Further magical energy pours in, and she turns her attention at the sahuagin that looks worse for wear.
[17:31] <Seira> roll 1d20+5+9+4+3-2 sword~
[17:31] <Rei-chan> 6,0Seira rolled :6,0 1d20+5+9+4+3-2 1,0sword~ --> 6,0[ 1d20=12 ]4,0{31}
[17:31] <Seira> roll 1d6+1+3d4
[17:31] <Rei-chan> 6,0Seira rolled :6,0 1d6+1+3d4 --> 6,0[ 1d6=1 3d4=8 ]4,0{10}
[17:32] <Seira> roll 1d20+5+9+4+3-2
[17:32] <Rei-chan> 6,0Seira rolled :6,0 1d20+5+9+4+3-2 --> 6,0[ 1d20=9 ]4,0{28}
[17:32] <Seira> roll 1d4+4+9+3d4
[17:32] <Rei-chan> 6,0Seira rolled :6,0 1d4+4+9+3d4 --> 6,0[ 1d4=4 3d4=10 ]4,0{27}
[17:32] <Seira> roll 2d6+2d6
[17:32] <Rei-chan> 6,0Seira rolled :6,0 2d6+2d6 --> 6,0[ 2d6=6 2d6=4 ]4,0{10}
[17:35] <Kotono> SEira cuts into the first, ending it's long life and service at last! As it goes limp, she turns and whirls on the second with the Third Resort! It's fire burns undiminished in the waters, slicing deeply into the sahuagin! Meanwhile, Antenora circles around, a grim, bloodily cheerful look on her face as she attacks the sahuagin against Alicia from behind.
[17:36] <Kotono> roll 1d20+14
[17:36] <Rei-chan> 6,0Kotono rolled :6,0 1d20+14 --> 6,0[ 1d20=4 ]4,0{18}
[17:37] <Kotono> However, the fish creature is able to successfully parry the blow, grimly focused! OOC - Alicia.
[17:37] <Alicia> OOC: lets say I drew my sword and not my daggers, last round
[17:38] <Kotono> OOC - Sure, okay.
[17:38] <Alicia> Straining her muscles, Alicia whirls her enchanted blade through the resistance offered by the water, slicing deeply into the Sahugin that struck her and wheeling about in the water for an arcing followup to rend him apart!
[17:39] <Alicia> roll 1d20+11
[17:39] <Rei-chan> 6,0Alicia rolled :6,0 1d20+11 --> 6,0[ 1d20=5 ]4,0{16}
[17:39] <Alicia> roll 1d20+11

[17:39] <Alicia> roll 1d20+6
[17:39] <Rei-chan> 6,0Alicia rolled :6,0 1d20+6 --> 6,0[ 1d20=3 ]4,0{9}
[17:39] <Alicia> roll 1d20+6
[17:39] <Rei-chan> 6,0Alicia rolled :6,0 1d20+6 --> 6,0[ 1d20=5 ]4,0{11}
[17:39] <Alicia> OOC: DC 18 will save or shaken, though it's hardly deserved
[17:39] <Kotono> OOC - SEcond hits.
[17:39] <Alicia> roll 1d8+7
[17:39] <Rei-chan> 6,0Alicia rolled :6,0 1d8+7 --> 6,0[ 1d8=8 ]4,0{15}
[17:39] <Kotono> roll 1d20+6
[17:39] <Rei-chan> 6,0Kotono rolled :6,0 1d20+6 --> 6,0[ 1d20=8 ]4,0{14}
[17:39] <Alicia> OOC: 7 damage, since it's halved
[17:39] <Kotono> roll 1d20+6
[17:39] <Rei-chan> 6,0Kotono rolled :6,0 1d20+6 --> 6,0[ 1d20=1 ]4,0{7}
[17:39] <Kotono> roll 1d20+6
[17:39] <Rei-chan> 6,0Kotono rolled :6,0 1d20+6 --> 6,0[ 1d20=20 ]4,0{26}
[17:42] <Kotono> Alicia cuts fearsomely into the sahuagin, her fearsome look shaking all around! The one survivor on Seira smiles despite his wounds, "Good...good..." He raggedly breathes out, "Yes..." So focused, he still attacks Seira again!
[17:42] <Kotono> roll 1d20+12
[17:42] <Rei-chan> 6,0Kotono rolled :6,0 1d20+12 --> 6,0[ 1d20=8 ]4,0{20}
[17:42] <Kotono> roll 1d5 (Ac on th eimages?)
[17:42] <Rei-chan> 6,0Kotono rolled :6,0 1d5 1,0(Ac on th eimages?) --> 6,0[ 1d5=2 ]4,0{2}
[17:43] <Seira> OOC: 10+my dex, so 16
[17:44] <Kotono> However, he futilely hacks into an illusion, doing little good to hurt Seira! Meanwhile, the other two sahuagin roar in a bloody fury! They drop their tridents, one setting into Alicia, while the other whirls and go towards Antenora in blind fury!
[17:44] <Kotono> roll 1d20+13 Alicia
[17:44] <Kotono> roll 1d20+13 Alicia
[17:44] <Rei-chan> 6,0Kotono rolled :6,0 1d20+13 1,0Alicia --> 6,0[ 1d20=12 ]4,0{25}
[17:44] <Rei-chan> 6,0Kotono rolled :6,0 1d20+13 1,0Alicia --> 6,0[ 1d20=14 ]4,0{27}
[17:44] <Kotono> OOC - 2 on those, forgot the fear effect.
[17:45] <Kotono> roll 1d20+11 Alicia
[17:45] <Rei-chan> 6,0Kotono rolled :6,0 1d20+11 1,0Alicia --> 6,0[ 1d20=1 ]4,0{12}
[17:45] <Kotono> The fury of blows raining down on Alicia is a mix of anger and fear, but wholly ineffective to hurting her! Meanwhile...
[17:45] <Kotono> roll 1d20+11 Antenora including mod now I suck
[17:45] <Rei-chan> 6,0Kotono rolled :6,0 1d20+11 1,0Antenora including mod now I suck --> 6,0[ 1d20=6 ]4,0{17}
[17:45] <Kotono> roll 1d20+11 Antenora including mod now I suck

[17:45] <Kotono> roll 1d20+9 Antenora including mod now I suck
[17:45] <Rei-chan> 6,0Kotono rolled :6,0 1d20+9 1,0Antenora including mod now I suck --> 6,0[ 1d20=6 ]4,0{15}
[17:46] <Kotono> But again, the blows that litter down do little good! However, the sahuagin at the shrine's entrance swims a little closer, before intoning, "Gum of the water, glue of the aqua, bind!" He gestures quickly, as...OOC - Will saves, Alicia and Antenora.
[17:47] <Kotono> roll 1d20+11
[17:47] <Rei-chan> 6,0Kotono rolled :6,0 1d20+11 --> 6,0[ 1d20=11 ]4,0{22}
[17:47] <Alicia> roll 1d20+14
[17:47] <Rei-chan> 6,0Alicia rolled :6,0 1d20+14 --> 6,0[ 1d20=11 ]4,0{25}
[17:47] <Kotono> Alicia feels slowed down, but with an effort of pure will, shatters the magic around her! Antenora seems to do the same, her eyes starting to flash, "Oh yes..." she breathes out, "You want to die so badly?" OOC - Seira.
[17:48] <Seira> "I am to please," Seira tells her unworthy opponent brightly, as she swaps a blade for her wand of magic missiles, sending three of them at him.
[17:49] <Seira> roll 3d4+3
[17:49] <Rei-chan> 6,0Seira rolled :6,0 3d4+3 --> 6,0[ 3d4=5 ]4,0{8}
[17:49] <Kotono> With that barrage, Seira downs the fishman in front of her, sending it to match it's fallen friend! Meanwhile, Antenora continues to press, lashing into the sahuagin at her!
[17:49] <Kotono> roll 1d20+14
[17:49] <Rei-chan> 6,0Kotono rolled :6,0 1d20+14 --> 6,0[ 1d20=13 ]4,0{27}
[17:49] <Kotono> roll 1d20+9
[17:49] <Rei-chan> 6,0Kotono rolled :6,0 1d20+9 --> 6,0[ 1d20=12 ]4,0{21}
[17:50] <Kotono> roll 2d8+18
[17:50] <Rei-chan> 6,0Kotono rolled :6,0 2d8+18 --> 6,0[ 2d8=12 ]4,0{30}
[17:50] * Seira gets her sword out once more, moving to assist Alicia!
[17:51] <Kotono> Antenora tears into it, seeming to draw out it's blood with a lethal ease! Her eyes flash as she does, intent on it's body! The berserk and yet afraid sahuagin even seems to lightly hesitate at that, but keeps goign! OOC - Alicia.
[17:51] <Seira> roll 1d20-1
[17:51] <Rei-chan> 6,0Seira rolled :6,0 1d20-1 --> 6,0[ 1d20=14 ]4,0{13}
[17:52] <Alicia> Since she has her current foes to deal with, Alicia has to leave the spellcaster alone for the moment, sadly. Focusing on the one attacked by Antenora so as to benefit from flanking, she cuts loose, again fighting against the water resistance to slash it!
[17:52] <Alicia> roll 1d20+13
[17:52] <Rei-chan> 6,0Alicia rolled :6,0 1d20+13 --> 6,0[ 1d20=10 ]4,0{23}

[17:52] <Rei-chan> 6,0Alicia rolled :6,0 1d20+8 --> 6,0[ 1d20=13 ]4,0{21}
[17:52] <Kotono> OOC- Three hits.
[17:52] <Alicia> roll 0.5*3d8+21
[17:52] <Rei-chan> 6,0Alicia rolled :6,0 0.5*3d8+21 --> error: malformed expression

[17:53] <Rei-chan> 6,0Alicia rolled :6,0 3d8+21 --> 6,0[ 3d8=7 ]4,0{28}
[17:53] <Alicia> OOC: 14
[17:56] <Kotono> Alicia savagely mauls the sahaugin in front of her, which gets a pained look from it, before it's fury resumes on her!
[17:56] <Kotono> roll 1d20+11
[17:56] <Rei-chan> 6,0Kotono rolled :6,0 1d20+11 --> 6,0[ 1d20=10 ]4,0{21}
[17:56] <Kotono> roll 1d20+11

[17:56] <Rei-chan> 6,0Kotono rolled :6,0 1d20+9 --> 6,0[ 1d20=9 ]4,0{18}
[17:56] <Kotono> But a fury that is largely ineffective once more! MEanwhile, Antenora gets the same treatment!
[17:56] <Kotono> roll 1d20+11
[17:56] <Rei-chan> 6,0Kotono rolled :6,0 1d20+11 --> 6,0[ 1d20=5 ]4,0{16}
[17:56] <Kotono> roll 1d20+11

[17:56] <Rei-chan> 6,0Kotono rolled :6,0 1d20+9 --> 6,0[ 1d20=5 ]4,0{14}
[18:00] <Kotono> As Antenora defends as well, the last sahuagin begins it's mystic motions once more! This time it points at Seira! "Feel the life of a coward! FEel a fear!" OOC - Will save, Seira.
[18:01] <Seira> roll 1d20+11
[18:01] <Rei-chan> 6,0Seira rolled :6,0 1d20+11 --> 6,0[ 1d20=2 ]4,0{13}
[18:02] <Kotono> OOC - You're up, Seira; granted, your action's kinda dictated now.
[18:03] * Seira suddenly drops her weapons. And swims away. Not particularly well.
[18:03] <Seira> roll 1d20-1
[18:03] <Rei-chan> 6,0Seira rolled :6,0 1d20-1 --> 6,0[ 1d20=7 ]4,0{6}
[18:03] <Kotono> Seira flail away in fear, not making much progress at all! Meanwhile, Antenora continues to carve into her target!
[18:03] <Kotono> roll 1d20+14
[18:03] <Rei-chan> 6,0Kotono rolled :6,0 1d20+14 --> 6,0[ 1d20=1 ]4,0{15}

[18:03] <Rei-chan> 6,0Kotono rolled :6,0 1d20+9 --> 6,0[ 1d20=2 ]4,0{11}
[18:03] <Kotono> She can't seem to score another hit, however! OOC - Alicia.
[18:04] <Alicia> Starting to debate whether she should have used her daggers after all, Alicia nonetheless decides she can't afford to distract herself by switching weapons now, and continues to assail her target as best she can, with Antenora distracting it.
[18:05] <Alicia> roll 1d20+13
[18:05] <Rei-chan> 6,0Alicia rolled :6,0 1d20+13 --> 6,0[ 1d20=19 ]4,0{32}

[18:05] <Kotono> OOC - One hit.

[18:05] <Rei-chan> 6,0Alicia rolled :6,0 1d8+7 --> 6,0[ 1d8=6 ]4,0{13}
[18:05] <Alicia> OOC: 6
[18:06] <Kotono> Alicia manages to score another wound on her foe, bringing it closer to death! Butnonetheless, the deadly dance continues!
[18:06] <Kotono> roll 1d20+11

[18:10] <Kotono> Talons and a bite claw into Antenora, managing to score some injury on he roverly tough devil flesh! Meanwhile, the caster hangs back, starting to cast again!
[18:10] <Kotono> roll 1d20+9
[18:10] <Rei-chan> 6,0Kotono rolled :6,0 1d20+9 --> 6,0[ 1d20=11 ]4,0{20}
[18:13] <Kotono> It casts, a great ball of steam starting to form around Alicia and Antenora...but it fizzles out before it does any harm! Meanwhile, Seira swims in the water, thrashing about as she tries to flee! AS this happens, Antenora strikes once more!
[18:13] <Kotono> roll 1d20+14
[18:13] <Rei-chan> 6,0Kotono rolled :6,0 1d20+14 --> 6,0[ 1d20=5 ]4,0{19}

[18:13] <Rei-chan> 6,0Kotono rolled :6,0 1d8+9 --> 6,0[ 1d8=8 ]4,0{17}
[18:14] <Kotono> With a vicious stab, she is just able to take advantage of that and flanking with Alicia, stabbing it in the gut! The fishman goes limp, Antenora's eyes flashing brutally. Crooning out after, "You're next," She glances at the caster behind! OOC - Alicia.
[18:15] * Alicia turns to the remaining Sahugin in their little melee and lunges forward, blades arcing laboriously through the water to her target!
[18:15] <Alicia> roll 1d20+11
[18:15] <Rei-chan> 6,0Alicia rolled :6,0 1d20+11 --> 6,0[ 1d20=4 ]4,0{15}

[18:16] <Rei-chan> 6,0Alicia rolled :6,0 3d8+21 --> 6,0[ 3d8=9 ]4,0{30}
[18:16] <Alicia> OOC: 15
[18:17] <Kotono> With a heavy slash and a softer followup, Alicia at last puts down the sahuagin in front of her! AS this part of the battle clears, the caster looks on, before swimming back into the shrine! OOC - Free action at the moment.
[18:18] <Alicia> "Seira, snap out of it! They're gone, now!" Alicia tries to calm the captain, drifting over towards Antenora and putting a hand on her shoulder as she bestows some healing on the devil. "Lets regroup before we pursue, they probably have more defences inside."
[18:19] <Alicia> OOC: 10hp healing for fiend. Or whatever's needed to get her to full.
[18:19] <Kotono> Antenora's smile is quite pleasant if also disturbing, "Yes, let's...but not wait too long," she purrs. OOC - 9.
[18:20] <Alicia> Taking out her wand of curing, Alicia uses one charge on herself and another on Seira as she waits on the half-elf/dragon to calm down.
[18:20] <Alicia> roll 1d8+1 me
[18:20] <Rei-chan> 6,0Alicia rolled :6,0 1d8+1 1,0me --> 6,0[ 1d8=4 ]4,0{5}

[18:20] <Rei-chan> 6,0Alicia rolled :6,0 1d8+1 1,0Seira --> 6,0[ 1d8=4 ]4,0{5}
[18:21] * Seira seems sour and not in the mood to talk.
[18:21] <Alicia> If she's at least ready to fight that's all Alicia cares about. "Lets go," she declares, putting her sword away and drawing twin daggers as she swims downwards.

<--->

[15:32] <Kotono> ---
[15:33] <Kotono> As Demedais awaits, the water currents around him stir. Starting to move a bit, an ebb and a flow.
[15:35] * Demedais blinks a bit, before ensuring the rope is as fastened as it can be. If this is going to start to get messy, he wants the three to have an escape route.
[15:39] <Kotono> The current is flowing towards Demedais and the heavy stone door at the rear. It's starting to speed up a bit too. Nothing too serious or position threatening, but the salty water is indeed flowing.
[15:40] * Demedais pushes the spikes in one more time for good measure, before going to examine the door to see if anything is visibly changing.
[15:43] <Kotono> The door has cracked ever so slightly. Water trickles past it at a controlled rate, the tiny gap made in the center enough to suction it away. AS Demedais goes to do that, he notes the current is picking up - fast.
[15:45] * Demedais blinks in confusion, before doing what he does best; acting as an immobile wall. Positioning himself at one side of the door and drawing his sword, he braces himself against the current, looking around for somewhere to tie himself to.
[15:49] <Kotono> OOC - Trying to block the current with that, or just bracing?
[15:50] <Demedais> OOC: Bracing. It wouldn't occur to him to block it.
[15:53] <Kotono> There are a few uprisings and the like a rope could be attached to if Demedais wished.
[15:53] * Demedais quickly does so to make bracing here easier, before resuming his position.
[15:56] <Kotono> Demedais braces! The current of water is starting to accelerate even more! Water's beginning to flow in the door, cracking it open further! The current is intense, a sweepingness! OOC - Make a strength check or a balance check, whichever is higher.
[15:57] <Demedais> roll 1d20+4 str check, natch.
[15:57] <Rei-chan> 6,0Demedais rolled :6,0 1d20+4 1,0str check, natch. --> 6,0[ 1d20=19 ]4,0{23}
[15:59] <Kotono> Demedais braces! He is able to hold his position, as the trickle of water becomes a vast roar! The gate's opening, sucking more water down!
[16:13] <Kotono> The gates continue to open, water gushing! Demedais isn't sure he can withstand it at this rate, water coming in a vast tsunami! There'sa very real risk of getting swept up in that cresendo!
[16:20] <Demedais> "Oh, for the love of..." Demedais grunts, looking at a nearby hole. With a shake of the head, he quickly dives in, hoping that the other ropes stay where they're at...
[16:22] <Kotono> As Demedais dives in, he hears a great crashing of water, then a heavy stone THUMP behind him...and was that the sound of metallic gears turning heavily in the momentary silence, before he's sucked in and away!

<--->

[18:22] <Kotono> As the party begins to prepare, there is a slight disturbance above, the sound of water moving.
[18:22] * Seira doesn't care about much beyond killing the mage hiding inside.
[18:23] * Alicia glances upwards, concerned about being flanked.
[18:23] <Kotono> Demedais is floating in the water there, getting his bearings.
[18:24] <Alicia> "Demedais?" Alicia blurts out in alarm at their ticket out of here now being here instead of there.
[18:26] * Demedais growls loudly, looking around for the rest of the group. At Alicia's words, he begins swimming down. "The door cracked, a humongous wave of water came rushing in, and I chose to come in here rather than get swept into whatever deathtrap lied ahead. Probably wise, too; heard something large and mechanical as I was diving in." At that, he quickly glances around for the rope he left out.
[18:27] <Alicia> "But how are we going to get out of here, now?" Alicia asks the obvious question. Drowning when Seira's spell runs out is not high on her list of priorities.
[18:28] <Seira> "I'll get us out," Seira says curtly. "Let's go."
[18:28] * Seira proceeds into the shrine.
[18:28] <Demedais> "Quite frankly, I don't know." Demedais answers, before nodding to Seira and following her.
[18:29] * Alicia takes a deep breath, some dim part of her mind feeling squeamish about the water now fills her lungs, seemingly without adverse effect. Maybe they'll find a way out in the Shrine? With nothing else to do but go forward, Alicia resumes swimming downwards.
[18:32] <Kotono> OOC - You mean the rope attached to yourself, Demedais?
[18:32] <Demedais> OOC: Either the rope attached to me or the rope that was being held down by the spikes.
[18:32] <Kotono> Demedais notes the attached ropes look to be intact.
[18:33] <Demedais> "It looks like the ropes have stayed there, so we may be able to climb them back out?" Demedais says, untying his own as he follows.
[18:37] <Kotono> The party heads into the shrine. The outer entrance is full of wall frescos, uneroded by time. Showing scenes of the sea - battles of hosts of sea elves versus sahuagin, fercious combats. Inside is a long hall, coral statues placed about. At the far end it narrows, slowly becoming another passage altogether. The walls are covered with glowing moss, providing good illumination. The water is very still here.
[18:38] * Alicia kicks her legs behind her, swimming onwards down the passageway in search of either opposition or whatever it is the Sahugin were put here to guard.
[18:38] * Demedais simply follows, since he has no clue what's going on here.
[18:41] <Kotono> The water begins to ripple slightly as you go down the hall. It begins to narrow, to only twenty feet wide. Still plenty of mobile room to work with! However, as you go down, you can distantly hear garbled words.
[18:42] <Seira> Clearly more fish to kill!
[18:43] * Alicia continues to swim along towards the source of the words!
[18:44] * Demedais continues to follow, prepared to handle whatever occurs.
[18:46] <Kotono> THe hall begins to open up again as you go deeper in! The water gets warmer as well, statues of large coral sharks displayed. Yet as you approach, these creatures of coral begin to shift and move, as if alive!  Two of them, writhing to life!
[18:48] <Alicia> Seeing that there really is a lot more combat to come, Alicia uses up another spell slot to double her size, and hopefully have a corresponding effect on her deadliness!
[18:48] <Alicia> roll 1d100
[18:48] <Rei-chan> 6,0Alicia rolled :6,0 1d100 --> 6,0[ 1d100=81 ]4,0{81}
[18:49] <Kotono> Distantly ahead as this happens, you can glimpse the caster! On his arm is a buckler of some sort of gray-green-gold shell. OOC - React/initiative.
[18:50] <Alicia> roll 1d20+4

[18:50] <Seira> "Death is my gift," Seira tells the fishy mage, hoping he lives long enough to die at her hand.
[18:50] <Demedais> roll 1d20 Right.
[18:50] <Rei-chan> 6,0Demedais rolled :6,0 1d20 1,0Right. --> 6,0[ 1d20=10 ]4,0{10}

[18:53] <Kotono> roll 1d20+5 antenora, she'll be behind Alicia if she goes over her.
[18:53] <Rei-chan> 6,0Kotono rolled :6,0 1d20+5 1,0antenora, she'll be behind Alicia if she goes over her. --> 6,0[ 1d20=8 ]4,0{13}

[18:54] <Rei-chan> 6,0Alicia rolled :6,0 1d4+12 --> 6,0[ 1d4=4 ]4,0{16}
[18:54] <Kotono> Alicia finds the coral fragile and easy to slice and smash, doing considerable damage in one hit! PRetty corals rain down from this blow, the shark's form injured! Meanwhile...
[18:54] <Kotono> roll 1d20+10
[18:54] <Rei-chan> 6,0Kotono rolled :6,0 1d20+10 --> 6,0[ 1d20=6 ]4,0{16}
[18:55] <Kotono> "Allow me, Mistress," Antenora's voice is more distant now, eyeing the caster ahead, "Filthy wastes of time," she says with contempt, thrusting at the shark.
[18:55] <Kotono> roll 1d20+14
[18:55] <Rei-chan> 6,0Kotono rolled :6,0 1d20+14 --> 6,0[ 1d20=14 ]4,0{28}

[18:55] <Rei-chan> 6,0Kotono rolled :6,0 1d8+9 --> 6,0[ 1d8=2 ]4,0{11}
[18:56] <Kotono> The attack cuts a chunk of coral out of the shark, doing considerable damage again to it! "Just animated water rubble," she sneers to it! OOC - dEme and Seira.
[18:57] * Seira gestures at the mage, drawing a wand even as she wills it to cook in steaming water!
[18:57] * Demedais knows how badly his armor will weigh him down here, and settles for staying near Seira, preparing for the other coral shark's attack!
[18:57] <Seira> roll 1d20+21 fireball
[18:57] <Rei-chan> 6,0Seira rolled :6,0 1d20+21 1,0fireball --> 6,0[ 1d20=16 ]4,0{37}

[18:58] <Seira> OOC: 20 passes it
[18:58] <Kotono> OOC - Don't you have an insane int score? I was thinking it's close.
[18:58] <Seira> OOC: This uses cha
[18:58] <Kotono> OOC: Oh, my bad.
[18:59] <Kotono> Steam bursts around the caster, getting him to let out a pained scream as Demedais prepares the defense! Meanwhile, the first shark attempts to bite Alicia, already closed in with her!
[18:59] <Kotono> roll 1d20+16
[18:59] <Rei-chan> 6,0Kotono rolled :6,0 1d20+16 --> 6,0[ 1d20=10 ]4,0{26}

[19:01] <Alicia> OOC: wait, 5 foot step
[19:01] <Alicia> OOC: or swim
[19:01] <Kotono> OOC" Eith erway.
[19:02] <Kotono> With a great bite, Alicia is swallowed whole! She's seen as she sucked into the sharp coral cage of the shark's stomach, cut up bythe lovely coral!
[19:02] <Kotono> roll 5d6+6
[19:02] <Rei-chan> 6,0Kotono rolled :6,0 5d6+6 --> 6,0[ 5d6=18 ]4,0{24}
[19:03] <Kotono> OOC - Strike the second part.
[19:04] <Kotono> The shark bites Alicia, trying to swallow her but unable to manage her vastly enhanced size!
[19:04] <Kotono> The other swims towards Seira and Demedais, putting Demedais on point! It lunges at him, trying to bite! OOC - WEre you holding your action, Deme?
[19:04] <Demedais> OOC: Yes.
[19:04] <Kotono> OOC: Go for it.
[19:05] <Demedais> roll 1d20+10 (+1 Haste -4 PA)

[19:06] <Kotono> Demedais nearly shatters the shark with two mammoth blows, but it maintains coherency even as it litters coral to the shrine floor! It bites at him!
[19:06] <Kotono> roll 1d20+16
[19:06] <Rei-chan> 6,0Kotono rolled :6,0 1d20+16 --> 6,0[ 1d20=7 ]4,0{23}
[19:06] <Kotono> OOC - AC?
[19:06] <Demedais> OOC: Higher than that! 28.
[19:07] <Kotono> Clang! The Fifth Resort is not deterred by water, deflecting the bite at Demedais and stopping the shark cold! Meanwhile, the caster makes a few motions, as...
[19:07] <Kotono> OOC - Will save, Demedais.
[19:07] <Demedais> roll 1d20+10 okay.
[19:07] <Rei-chan> 6,0Demedais rolled :6,0 1d20+10 1,0okay. --> 6,0[ 1d20=14 ]4,0{24}
[19:08] <Kotono> Demedais suddenly feels sleepy! However, he valiantly resists the urge to fall asleep! OOC - Alicia.
[19:09] * Alicia is undeterred by the bite she just took, although she does try to fight more defensively as she hacks into the shark with both daggers punching into the coral!
[19:09] <Alicia> roll 1d20+10
[19:09] <Rei-chan> 6,0Alicia rolled :6,0 1d20+10 --> 6,0[ 1d20=8 ]4,0{18}

[19:10] <Rei-chan> 6,0Alicia rolled :6,0 4d6+20 --> 6,0[ 4d6=15 ]4,0{35}
[19:11] <Kotono> CRACK! The shark's body shatters like pretty, multihued glass, raining down rare corals to the floor! Antenora lightly snorts at that, turning to look at the caster. "Then..." HEr eyes narrow, voice picking up. "Shall we, Mistress?"
[19:12] <Alicia> "If that's what you want," Alicia allows, debating whether she herself should help with the other shark or pursue the caster. The latter is probably the best bet.
[19:12] <Kotono> roll 1d20+10
[19:12] <Rei-chan> 6,0Kotono rolled :6,0 1d20+10 --> 6,0[ 1d20=15 ]4,0{25}
[19:13] <Kotono> Antenora makes some of the distance to it, swimming, but she can't get there that fast! OOC - Deme and Seira.
[19:13] * Demedais grunts and continues his chopping at the coral beast!
[19:14] <Kotono> OOC - Wait, strike.

[19:14] <Kotono> Antenora makes some of the distance to it, swimming, but she can't get there that fast! OOC - Seira only, I forgot to adjust initiative since Deme held.
[19:14] * Kotono changes topic to 'Alicia>Antenora>Seira>Shark1 and 2=Demedais>CasterMikoess. '
[19:14] <Demedais> OOC: ...right. Sorry.
[19:14] <Kotono> OOC - Seira.
[19:16] * Seira is all too happy to assist Demedais in putting the large shark down! Guided by green energy spirals, her weapons seek to destroy the coral guardian!
[19:16] <Seira> roll 1d20+18 dagger
[19:16] <Rei-chan> 6,0Seira rolled :6,0 1d20+18 1,0dagger --> 6,0[ 1d20=6 ]4,0{24}
[19:17] <Kotono> OOC - HIt.
[19:18] <Seira> roll 1d4+13+2d6+2d6+2d4
[19:18] <Rei-chan> 6,0Seira rolled :6,0 1d4+13+2d6+2d6+2d4 --> 6,0[ 1d4=2 2d6=8 2d6=4 2d4=2 ]4,0{29}

[19:18] <Rei-chan> 6,0Seira rolled :6,0 1d20+15 1,0sword --> 6,0[ 1d20=11 ]4,0{26}
[19:18] <Kotono> OOC - Hit, doesn't matter anyway. It's toast.
[19:18] <Seira> roll 1d6+10+2d4
[19:18] <Rei-chan> 6,0Seira rolled :6,0 1d6+10+2d4 --> 6,0[ 1d6=5 2d4=4 ]4,0{19}
[19:18] <Kotono> CRACK! Withthat thrust, the shark shatters into chunks of vibrant coral! As it rains down aroun dDemedais and Seira...OOC - Deme.
[19:18] * Kotono changes topic to 'Alicia>Antenora>Seira>Demedais>CasterMikoess. '
[19:19] * Demedais nods to Seira, before following Antenora in pursuit... or as effectively as he can, with the armor on.
[19:21] <Kotono> Demedais lurches ahead, trying to make the best speed he can! However, the caster looks on, before turning tale and fleeing at a quick swim rate! OOC - Combat's over, free action.
[19:22] <Alicia> "After him!" Alicia only spends the time to put away one dagger so that she'll have a hand free to cast spells with somatic components, and then swims after the Sahugin as fast as she can!
[19:23] * Demedais nods and follows as well as he can, knowing this fight will likely be left to the ladies.
[19:23] * Seira pursues, while dropping a room's fill of icicles on the fleeing mage.
[19:23] <Seira> roll 5d6 die
[19:23] <Rei-chan> 6,0Seira rolled :6,0 5d6 1,0die --> 6,0[ 5d6=19 ]4,0{19}
[19:25] <Kotono> Ice rains down, chilling the waters! As ice swirls and th etemperature of the waters drops, the mage cries! He's plunked and abused, before going belly up in the water!
[19:25] * Seira follows at a sedate, steady pace, her eyes acquiring the ability to distinguish the magical from the mundane.
[19:26] * Seira takes the buckler, before giving the surroundings a curious glance. Anything that looks like it would sell well is something she'd take back with her.
[19:26] <Kotono> The movement makes the cold water flow around. AS it does, you hear a vast, deafening roar come from ahead! The water churns from the force of it, swishing along with the disruption! There isa  lot of loose coral on the ground...
[19:27] * Alicia allows herself to slow down, and puts away her remaining dagger since it appears the battle is won. But then before she can relax, there's a rather nasty sound from ahead - looking around, she looks for somewhere she can brace herself against the coming maelstrom.
[19:28] * Seira grabs some of it while the others confirm any danger from the front.
[19:28] <Kotono> There's other statues around, if one wishes to brace.
[19:28] <Alicia> "Everyone, brace yourself!" Alicia warns, quickly swimming to the side so that she can do just that between one of the statues and the wall.
[19:28] <Alicia> roll 1d20+6 swim since this is probably a hazard
[19:28] <Rei-chan> 6,0Alicia rolled :6,0 1d20+6 1,0swim since this is probably a hazard --> 6,0[ 1d20=20 ]4,0{26}
[19:29] <Demedais> "Not more of these..." Demedais grunts, bracing himself against a nearby statue, though with how they fared in battle...
[19:29] * Seira follows Alicia, intent on using the paladin's current bulk to shield herself more effectively.
[19:30] <Kotono> The water comes gushing forth with another roar! OOC - Swimc hecks for everyone but Alicia.
[19:30] <Kotono> roll 1d20+10
[19:30] <Rei-chan> 6,0Kotono rolled :6,0 1d20+10 --> 6,0[ 1d20=10 ]4,0{20}
[19:30] <Seira> roll 1d20-1
[19:30] <Rei-chan> 6,0Seira rolled :6,0 1d20-1 --> 6,0[ 1d20=5 ]4,0{4}
[19:31] <Demedais> roll 1d20-4
[19:31] <Rei-chan> 6,0Demedais rolled :6,0 1d20-4 --> 6,0[ 1d20=19 ]4,0{15}
[19:33] <Kotono> The waters are turbulent and vast! Only the party's quick action prevents being swept along a savage, fast moving wave! However,Seira is not quite so fast, and takes some lumps as she's slammed back a bit.
[19:33] <Kotono> roll 2d6
[19:33] <Rei-chan> 6,0Kotono rolled :6,0 2d6 --> 6,0[ 2d6=5 ]4,0{5}
[19:33] <Kotono> After that, the pulse of water passes, the way safea gain. Or at least it looks that way.
[19:33] * Seira finds it worth it since she managed to gain exciting coral loot.
[19:34] <Seira> And with that over, she heads directly to the source of dangerous waves.
[19:34] * Alicia holds position for a moment before she disengages from between the statue and the wall and floats out to the middle of the passage. "What was that?" she wonders. And more importantly, will it happen again?
[19:34] <Kotono> Antenora growls at that, "Whatever it is, let's kill it or otherwise destroy it." Antenora proposes with ahint of irritated savagery.
[19:35] <Demedais> "I don't know, frankly." Demedais says. "Let's keep going and disable it when we can."
[19:35] * Alicia nods. "Hopefully we'll find a way out of here or something further on," she agrees, starting to swim onwards once more.
[19:36] <Demedais> "Indeed."
[19:37] <Kotono> The party goes along! The shrine's walls become decorated with simple glowing moss and nothing else now, the water warming. It's warm as a summer's shower as the hall abruptly widens and you find it's end!  Here it sits - a gigantic turtle with a shell of sea green, with highlights of gold. It's absolutely huge, it's vast maw full of more teeth than you can conviently count! Off to the side, one can note a metal, unrusted chest, awaiting pati
[19:37] <Kotono> unrusted chest, awaiting patiently.
[19:38] <Seira> roll 1d20+11 traps on chest~
[19:38] <Rei-chan> 6,0Seira rolled :6,0 1d20+11 1,0traps on chest~ --> 6,0[ 1d20=13 ]4,0{24}
[19:38] <Kotono> OOC - Are you going to walk past the dragon and go check the chest for traps, just like that?
[19:38] <Seira> OOC: Wasn't it off to the side?
[19:38] <Kotono> OOC: Off to the side relative to the dragon.
[19:39] <Seira> OOC: Right. Then no.
[19:39] <Seira> roll 2d8+9 healz
[19:39] <Rei-chan> 6,0Seira rolled :6,0 2d8+9 1,0healz --> 6,0[ 2d8=9 ]4,0{18}
[19:40] <Seira> "I'm going to go up to the nice dragon and talk to him, unless someone has a better plan," Seira tells the others.
[19:40] <Kotono> As Seira heals her wounds, the massive turtle creature lurches forward! It roars again, the waters around it buckling! Steam comes from it's mo uth, a heating gale!
[19:40] <Kotono> OOC - Strike, didn't quite sound what like I meant.
[19:41] <Kotono> As Seira heals her wounds, the massive turtle creature lurches forward! It roars again, the waters around it buckling! Steam comes from it's mo uth, a heating gale. A mere trickle for now, but a hint that warms the water ahead up considerably.
[19:41] * Demedais moves quickly to Alicia and patches up her wounds! OOC: 22.
[19:43] <Alicia> "Talk fast," Alicia suggests nervously.
[19:43] <Seira> "Hello," Seira announces, bowing to the turtle. The water makes it awkward, but she's quite dexterous when she wishes to be. "We were told to come here, and we happen to have this as the key." She holds up the dagger resort.
[19:43] * Taishyr (Chiyos@58.194.238.102) has joined #dunes
[19:43] * ChanServ sets mode: +o Taishyr
[19:44] * Demedais (Chiyos@58.194.238.102) Quit (NickServ (GHOST command used by Taishyr))
[19:44] * Taishyr is now known as Demedais
[19:46] <Kotono> "Then prepare to face your trial!" The dragon roars back, although it does hesitate. "Dragonling...?" It sniffs the air, "Red dragonling? Ajan...!" It's voice picks up intensity, "No mercy!"
[19:46] <Alicia> "I don't think that worked," Alicia observes, guessing from the tone even if she cannot understand the words.
[19:47] <Seira> "He doesn't like us," Seira translates. "I think he is the final boss, here."
[19:47] <Kotono> OOC - It's getting ready to attack, so initiative as you chat.
[19:47] <Alicia> roll 1d20+4
[19:47] <Rei-chan> 6,0Alicia rolled :6,0 1d20+4 --> 6,0[ 1d20=11 ]4,0{15}

[19:48] <Rei-chan> 6,0Kotono rolled :6,0 1d20+5 --> 6,0[ 1d20=20 ]4,0{25}
[19:48] * Kotono changes topic to 'Antenora>Dragon Turtle>Alicia>Seira>Deme'
[19:51] <Alicia> roll 1d20+7 arcana for fun
[19:51] <Rei-chan> 6,0Alicia rolled :6,0 1d20+7 1,0arcana for fun --> 6,0[ 1d20=16 ]4,0{23}
[19:53] <Kotono> Antenora smiles grimly and very quickly glances at Alicia. A meaningful look, reaching up to her hair as she does. She rips away the ribbon that hides her form. "Oh, you pathetic little dragonkin. Your soul will make a lovely token in the Frozen Hell." She steps silghtly to the side as well, her spear out.
[19:59] <Kotono> The dragon turtle begins to open it's mouth, but quickly aborts! Instead, it turns onto the main bulk of the party, letting loose another roar! A tidal wave gushes out from it, a great disturbance of water! OOC - Swim checks.
[20:00] <Alicia> roll 1d20+7
[20:00] <Rei-chan> 6,0Alicia rolled :6,0 1d20+7 --> 6,0[ 1d20=14 ]4,0{21}

[20:00] <Rei-chan> 6,0Demedais rolled :6,0 1d20-4 1,0gently caress you Dune --> 6,0[ 1d20=2 ]4,0{-2}
[20:01] <Kotono> Antenora and Alicia are able to resist the wave, but Demedais and Seira are not so lucky! They are bashed around, knocked 30 feet back and damaged!
[20:01] <Kotono> roll 2d6
[20:01] <Rei-chan> 6,0Kotono rolled :6,0 2d6 --> 6,0[ 2d6=8 ]4,0{8}
[20:03] <Kotono> OOC - Alicia.
[20:04] * Alicia casts mirror image and then draws her sword. She has the perfect spell for hurting creatures like this overgrown pond dweller, and not even water resistance will save it from the world of hurt to ensue.
[20:04] <Alicia> roll 1d100
[20:04] <Rei-chan> 6,0Alicia rolled :6,0 1d100 --> 6,0[ 1d100=92 ]4,0{92}

[20:04] <Rei-chan> 6,0Alicia rolled :6,0 1d4+3 --> 6,0[ 1d4=1 ]4,0{4}
[20:05] <Kotono> OOC - Seira. You were pretty close to it, so I'll say you're 40 feet away orso.
[20:06] <Seira> "Stupid overgrown sea-turkey," Seira mutters, hasting them all as part of her preparations.
[20:06] <Kotono> OOC - Deme.
[20:11] * Demedais growls and rushes up to the large turtle, sword held to try and deflect any physical attacks the turtle may try and make!
[20:12] <Kotono> Demedais lurches through the water, reaching the turtle! Antenora lets the turtle have an evil, nasty look when it's eyes are away, before she closes in and attempts to spear it good!
[20:12] <Kotono> roll 1d20+14
[20:12] <Rei-chan> 6,0Kotono rolled :6,0 1d20+14 --> 6,0[ 1d20=4 ]4,0{18}
[20:13] <Kotono> But her blow bounces off the turtle's carapace! The turtle leans back, letting loose a great gout of steam, a cloud engulfing all in front of it! OOC - Deme and Alicia, make ref saves.
[20:13] <Kotono> roll 1d4 recharge time
[20:13] <Rei-chan> 6,0Kotono rolled :6,0 1d4 1,0recharge time --> 6,0[ 1d4=2 ]4,0{2}

[20:14] <Rei-chan> 6,0Demedais rolled :6,0 1d20+7 1,0(+1 Haste, correct?) --> 6,0[ 1d20=4 ]4,0{11}
[20:14] <Kotono> roll 12d6 fire resistance applys if you have it
[20:14] <Rei-chan> 6,0Kotono rolled :6,0 12d6 1,0fire resistance applys if you have it --> 6,0[ 12d6=49 ]4,0{49}
[20:15] <Kotono> The searing blast half boils Alicia and seriously cooks Demedais! Antenora isn't even stunned by it, however! OOC - Alicia.
[20:16] <Alicia> OOC: how far is the turtle from me?
[20:16] <Kotono> OOC - It's pretty close. Ten feet away.
[20:16] <Alicia> OOC: Hey, that is full attack range!
[20:18] * Alicia shivers all over from the feeling of water turning into steam around her, before she glares hatefully at the turtle and unleashes a furious flurry of attacks upon it, her blades shifting like smoke as they pass through water and shell with ease!
[20:18] <Alicia> roll 1d100 wraithstrike
[20:18] <Rei-chan> 6,0Alicia rolled :6,0 1d100 1,0wraithstrike --> 6,0[ 1d100=18 ]4,0{18}

[20:19] <Rei-chan> 6,0Alicia rolled :6,0 10d6+65 1,0(halved) --> 6,0[ 10d6=36 ]4,0{101}
[20:20] <Kotono> Alicia is a fury, cutting into the dragonshell like it's merely wafers served at teatime! Despite this there are still only daggers, only able to do so much with the water hobbling! It's still alive, merely wounded! OOC - Demedais.
[20:21] <Seira> OOC: Me!
[20:21] <Kotono> OOC: Oh, sorry.
[20:21] <Demedais> OOC: Man, you tease, Dune.
[20:21] <Alicia> OOC: wait! I never doubled for crit.
[20:21] <Alicia> roll 2d6+13 (halved)
[20:21] <Rei-chan> 6,0Alicia rolled :6,0 2d6+13 1,0(halved) --> 6,0[ 2d6=10 ]4,0{23}
[20:22] * Seira swims towards the chest she had seen earlier, figuring something to help them overcome the dragon all the quicker might be there. And sends several magical missiles over to generally harass the beast.
[20:22] <Seira> roll 3d4+3
[20:22] <Rei-chan> 6,0Seira rolled :6,0 3d4+3 --> 6,0[ 3d4=6 ]4,0{9}
[20:22] <Kotono> Seira swims over to the chest, as the dragon is savagely hit by magical missiles! OOC - Demedais.
[20:24] * Demedais makes three savage slashes through the water at the eye of the beast; one at an angle, the other two horizontal and vertical!
[20:24] <Demedais> roll 1d20+11 (+1 H -3 PA)
[20:24] <Rei-chan> 6,0Demedais rolled :6,0 1d20+11 1,0(+1 H -3 PA) --> 6,0[ 1d20=17 ]4,0{28}

[20:25] <Rei-chan> 6,0Demedais rolled :6,0 8d6+28+24 --> 6,0[ 8d6=36 ]4,0{88}
[20:29] <Kotono> Demedais is mauling like htere is no tomorrow! He tears into it with two blows that cut it's shell into three chunks attached to it's skin, ripping in with a fury! Only the water holding back the rain of blows from Demedais allow it to live, it's blood gushing into the water! Antenora continues to press as the three set onto the dragon!
[20:29] <Kotono> roll 1d20+13 (-1 PA)
[20:29] <Rei-chan> 6,0Kotono rolled :6,0 1d20+13 1,0(-1 PA) --> 6,0[ 1d20=15 ]4,0{28}

[20:30] <Rei-chan> 6,0Kotono rolled :6,0 2d8+22 --> 6,0[ 2d8=12 ]4,0{34}
[20:31] <Kotono> Antenora stabs it even more, bringing the dragon to death's door! It hangs on by the barest margin, letting forth another water moving scream! OOC - Swim checks.
[20:31] <Alicia> roll 1d20+7
[20:31] <Rei-chan> 6,0Alicia rolled :6,0 1d20+7 --> 6,0[ 1d20=9 ]4,0{16}

[20:32] <Rei-chan> 6,0Kotono rolled :6,0 2d6 --> 6,0[ 2d6=5 ]4,0{5}
[20:32] <Kotono> However, Alicia and Demedais hold firm, right in the dragon's face! OOC - Alicia.
[20:33] <Alicia> "Die, damn you!" Alicia growls, resisting the urge to say something about how tonight she will dine on turtle soup as she unleashes another flurry of blows, sensing victory in the air to go with the blood in the water!

[20:33] <Rei-chan> 6,0Alicia rolled :6,0 2d6+8 1,0it has to be enough! --> 6,0[ 2d6=8 ]4,0{16}
[20:34] <Kotono> With a final, desperate stab, Alicia puts the creature down by gouging out it's eye! The dragon struggles a few seconds, more waves gushing forth! But even if they are carried, the dragon's heavy body slams into the ground after, slain! OOC - Free action.
[20:34] * Seira goes to examine the chest, of course
[20:34] <Seira> roll 1d20+11
[20:34] <Rei-chan> 6,0Seira rolled :6,0 1d20+11 --> 6,0[ 1d20=8 ]4,0{19}
[20:35] * Alicia breathes heavily as she kicks off against the creature and floats away from all the blood, ignoring the fact that water fills her lungs as she tries to recover. "That was brutal..." she mutters.
[20:35] * Seira nudges it open with the non-magical bow from a distance, since it's a rare occasion where the chest isn't locked.
[20:35] <Demedais> "... Arrrgh." Demedais growls, looking around the beast to see if anything else is in the room after handing his CLW wand to Alicia.
[20:36] <Kotono> The chest opens! Inside is the following: A deep chest filled with shiny platinum coins halfway.  There are a few indents, where items lie - save for one small, shield shaped indent. The others have a silvery hemlet, a small diamond,and in the center, a golden scale.
[20:36] <Alicia> "Thanks," Alicia accepts Demedais' wand and fires a few charges of it into her wounds before handing it back to its owner.r

[20:36] <Rei-chan> 6,0Alicia rolled :6,0 4d8+4 --> 6,0[ 4d8=17 ]4,0{21}
[20:36] <Seira> "Found our key!" Seira announces.
[20:36] * Demedais nods.
[20:37] * Seira checks to see whether the buckler fits the indentation.
[20:37] <Demedais> "Key doesn't matter, the door broke." Demedais says as he continues looking.
[20:37] <Alicia> "Now we just need to find a way out of here... everyone okay?" Alicia checks that the others are well enough to continue.
[20:37] <Seira> "That's what they want us to think!"
[20:37] <Kotono> The buckler nicely fits.
[20:38] * Seira takes all of them, before observing the room for anything that resembles a lock much like the scale indentation on the door they found earlier.
[20:38] <Kotono> Antenora dusts herself off, "I am fine, Mistress," she goes to retreive her ribbon. HEr voice is decidedly out of sorts, however.
[20:39] * Alicia floats over towards the currently diminuitive in comparison Erinyes. "You don't sound fine," she observes.
[20:40] <Kotono> Seira doesn't see much of note in the room itself, besides a dead dragon turtle.
[20:40] * Seira cuts it open and lowers her amulet towards its heart, using the amulet's string.
[20:41] <Kotono> After some butchery,t he amulet is put into the dragon's body.
[20:41] * Seira observes it with her magical sight.
[20:45] <Seira> "Let me check on its progress for a bit, and then I'll take us all back, okay?"
[20:46] <Kotono> "The creature clearly lacks both intelligence and a good selection of targets," she snaps, voice sharp.
[20:48] <Alicia> "It seemed smart enough to recognise that a devil cannot be harmed by fire... still, your distraction did buy us some time to prepare before it decided unleash its breath weapon, so don't feel too bad," Alicia commiserates. Glancing over towards Seira, "We might as well try the portal back before you waste the teleport scroll - it might be functional, now that we've defeated the guardians."
[20:49] <Seira> "No need to waste it," Seira responds. "I feel that the key will open the door for us." And holding the scale up, she moves outside, letting it direct her actions.
[20:49] * Demedais follows Seira dutifully.
[20:51] <Kotono> The party returns outside! AS they do...
[20:52] * Seira points the invisible portals she can easily see now to the others, waiting for them to cross over before following herself.
[20:53] * Demedais goes through, wondering what it'll look like up there now.
[20:53] <Kotono> This time, as the party goes into the alledged portal, they come surging up out of a hole near the door, appearing! However, the water is gone except in the holes. While damp, the area is airy and above water now.
[20:54] * Seira looks for this mechanical trap Demedais had described.
[20:55] <Kotono> OOC - Search check or take 10/20?
[20:55] * Alicia glances towards the apparently now open door.
[20:55] <Kotono> The stone door is shut; tightly kept closed. A bit of water coats it's surface, dripping down idly.
[20:56] <Seira> roll 1d20+11
[20:56] <Rei-chan> 6,0Seira rolled :6,0 1d20+11 --> 6,0[ 1d20=15 ]4,0{26}
[20:56] <Seira> "Well, if the trap exists, it's probably really complex," Seira says uncertainly, before placing the scale to the identation.
[20:57] <Kotono> The scale clicks in! OOC - PM, Seira.
[20:57] * Demedais eyes the door. "What the bloody blazes? The thing was cracked wide open, I thought..."
[21:00] * Seira commands the door to open, as well as that behind it.
[21:01] <Kotono> The door slides open! Ahead is a large room, with teh sides filled with glass covered gears and cogs, pulleys of metal. At the rear end is a pit with a shimmering wall of force over it, vastly deep and full of water. Past that is another door, opened as well. There is a room of vast murals there, as well as something in it that you can'tq uite make out from here.
[21:02] * Seira withdraws the scale, proceeding onwards. "We're safe for the next eight hours," she announces. "Or more, if I adjust the timer."
[21:03] <Demedais> "Ah, alright, then." Demedais nods, a bit glad to know he wasn't completely insane.
[21:03] <Alicia> "That should be more than enough time to finish up, here, surely?" Alicia surmises as she likewise heads into the room, walking around the pit towards the far door.
[21:04] <Demedais> "Ah." Demedais holds the Fifth resort firmly, watching the colors oscillate. "Okay, then..."
[21:05] * Seira is interested in the murals or anything magical, first.
[21:05] <Kotono> In Demedais' hands, the Fifth Resort begins to oscillate colors like a rainbow. As it does, you begin to feel a fearsome thumping, as well as a counterpoint. A feeling of immense closeness, a rawness gushing out towards you.
[21:05] <Kotono> As Seira heads into the next room, she sees that murals of all the Gos are here. In the rear of th eroom is  asimple pedestool with some sort of deep indentation.
[21:06] * Seira heads for the pedestal.
[21:06] <Alicia> "What...?" Alicia trails off, confused by the strange feeling. Entering the room, she scans the murals before naturally graviating towards one she recognises as depicting her own patron deity.
[21:06] * Demedais grips the Fifth Resort firmly, focused on the beat and counterbeat, as he moves forward slowly, scanning the walls for Helm.
[21:07] <Seira> "...right." Seira closes her eyes. "Don't approach this thing just yet."
[21:07] <Kotono> The pedestool has an indent in the shape of a shield.
[21:08] <Demedais> "Any reason why?" Demedais asks slowly.
[21:08] <Kotono> Antenora shivers, looking around with a noted surprise.
[21:08] <Kotono> Alicia can see Mystra on the mural, over the weave as the world is woven, then in battles in all her glory.
[21:09] <Seira> "The magic here has to be of direct divine origin, beyond the level of artifacts," Seira says quietly. "Demedais, your shield happens to be the key. Aren't you pleased?"
[21:09] <Demedais> "...this will begin to unlock the God-King, I take it." Demedais replies, looking along the walls a bit further for Helm.
[21:10] <Kotono> Helm is found, watching over the battles and the world with an endless eye.
[21:10] <Seira> "Maybe, maybe not. Would you like to try it?"
[21:10] * Alicia is a tad surprised by that. The designs at her home temple in Kelara didn't really portray Mystra as an especially combative Goddess. Then again, this does date from the greatest war in the history of creation, doesn't it? Hearing Seira, she turns around and raises an eyebrow, before glancing at Demedais.
[21:12] <Demedais> "...We have come this far, and there are four more seals active, even if this begins the process." Demedais muses. "So let it begin." With that, he moves to the pedastal and places the shield in slowly.
[21:13] <Kotono> The moment the shield is placed in, a single note of dreadful, glorious, flawless, beautiful clarity sounds. In that instant, all the color in the world is sucked inside of the Fifth Resort. Frozen. The entire world is frozen in an instant, a flawless, eternal and gray visage. Demedais knows this with every fiber of his being, his body screaming at him from a million pressure points. Alicia, Seira, Antenora, the room, farther on. Everything i
[21:14] <Kotono> farther on. Everything in a moment is frozen except for Demedais. (More)
[21:17] <Kotono> Like metal melting in the furnace, it all melts away. Melting away in to a perfect empty canvas of space black, easily put aside should an Artist choose to move on. Even this then fades away to a new place. A circle, a vast circle beyond this. A circle ringed with thrones. Straight ahead are three in particular around a forth throne, grander than them all. On all these thrones figures sit, from the celestial perfections to the more fearsome h
[21:18] <Kotono> the more fearsome horrors, to which words fail. His senses are overwhelmed a mere moment, blown apart. It is only by one action that his very sanity is saved. (More)
[21:21] <Kotono> One of the radiant, terrible figures says a single word that rings out. The others nod and are gone in a moment, leaving that one behind. A man in beaten armor, having stood the test of everything. A helmeted man, a sense of mixed elation and primal awe passing through Demedais. Even if his face his hidden by an all encircling hemlet, Demedais -knows- his endless gaze is on him.
[21:23] * Demedais reacts (or tries to react) instictively by kneeling, his head down.
[21:25] <Kotono> Demedais finds his body works well enough in the end, his kneeling done. "My faithful servant, you have broken one of the seals. I am pleased you have done your duty so well, and taken part of these great events."
[21:27] <Demedais> "Ah." Demedais' voice catches. Helm... this is...? "...Thank you, Great Watcher."
[21:29] <Kotono> "My faithful servant, hear my words now. Now that the first seal is broken, the turn of destiny cannot be arrested. Be it by your hands or others if you cannot or choose not, the reckoning with the God King shall come. With each seal broken, we are closer to the world once more."
[21:31] <Demedais> "I hear and understand, Great Watcher."
[21:34] <Kotono> "I pass onto you a message for all of you: your fates are now tied to this; even the devil who walks with you. As the seals are broken, we will grant you and your friends the long held back gifts, each in turn. My faithful servant, I grant you a boon. Ask of me one thing or one request and it shall be granted."
[21:50] <Demedais> Demedais' eyes widen at this offer, and he says nothing for a few moments before clenching his eyes shut. "You humble me, Great Watcher. I... the stories of those who remember those wars speak of the False God's powerful magic, of its destructive capabilities far beyond what mortals know. To combat this... I request of you, Great Watcher, to grant me a powerful defense to all fell spells that would strike your servant."
[21:52] <Kotono> Demedais' entire body shivers. The Great Watcher is besides him. His heart pounds, yet his head and thoughts are so clear. Duty. The feeling that Uatu engendered is merely distilled and diluted compared to this, as...Helm touches the forehead of Demedais. In that moment, it all rewinds. He is there again, watching the Fifth Resort. With a shiver, color and energy explode out of it endlessly! OOC - For Seira and Alicia, you saw the world go co
[21:52] <Kotono>  you saw the world go colorless a moment and now color is exploding back out.
[21:53] <Seira> "One seal down?"
[21:53] <Demedais> "...So it begins, yes." Demedais says after several long moments.
[21:53] * Alicia blinks a moment as colour returns to her vision. "So it would seem."
[21:54] <Kotono> Antenora blinks, "How curious..." she murmurs, "Is that it now?"
[21:55] <Alicia> "I admit, I expected a bit more myself," Alicia acknowledges. "Nonetheless, it appears to be done. Shall we go?"
[21:56] <Seira> "I still need to spend the night here," Seira says, frowning. "Either that, or return the next day to take my talisman back."
[21:57] <Alicia> "Well, we could find a safe place to rest, then recover your talisman and deal with the remaining chambers tomorrow?" Alicia suggests.
[21:57] * Demedais stands for a moment, lost in thought, before he blinks. "Antenora, by helping us get here, apparently your fate is bound to all these events as well. Also, the seal will now be broken eventually, no matter what." Demedais says quickly, before stopping. "Rest sounds lovely."
[21:58] * Alicia stops and stares at Demedais for a moment. "So, you saw more than the rest of us did?"
[21:58] <Seira> "We were planning on breaking it, anyway," Seira comments, shrugging.
[21:58] <Kotono> "What?" Antenora turns and looks at Demedais with a sour look. "Whatm akes you say that?"
[21:59] <Demedais> "A lot more." he says, nodding slightly. "Also, I resist magic now. I think." At Antenora's comment, he gives a wry grin. "Helm told me."
[22:01] <Kotono> Demedais gets a stare back. "Hmph," she mutters something, "I already serve the Mistress regardless," she says, another note of irritation spilling into her voice.
[22:03] <Alicia> "Yes, and I don't feel especially 'bound' towards anything, so I'm not sure what's changed, to be honest," Alicia admits with a shrug. "But I was intending to stick with this, anyway."
[22:03] <Seira> "Maybe I'll finally get to talk to Waukeen," Seira muses. "Well, I talk to her quite a lot. But hearing something back would be nice!"
[22:04] <Kotono> OOC: Going back to the unexplored room from the grassy room?
[22:04] <Seira> OOC: Let's adjust HP first
[22:05] <Kotono> OOC: Oh, are you ugys resting in here first, then?
[22:06] <Kotono> OOC: Where?
[22:06] <Alicia> OOC: rest in the grassy room, not in the easily flooded area
[22:06] <Kotono> OOC: Okay, lemme know when you get your HP restores in order.

[22:08] <Alicia> Okay, I think we're done.
[22:08] <Demedais> OOC: Yeh.
[22:09] <Kotono> After a quiet night in the ruins, the party rouses. The last door is in front of th eparty, already declared safe by Seira's previous search.
[22:10] * Alicia bravely opens the door!
[22:11] <Kotono> Ahead is a mineshaft. A dark, barely lit mineshaft. Only a few sputtering torches line th ewalls, old pixaxes and carts about.  The path onwards leads sharply downhill.
[22:11] * Demedais stands ready to assist in any problems.
[22:12] * Alicia casts light on a convenient pebble and takes the lead descending.
[22:12] <Alicia> roll 1d100
[22:12] <Rei-chan> 6,0Alicia rolled :6,0 1d100 --> 6,0[ 1d100=95 ]4,0{95}
[22:14] * Demedais stays close behind, sword drawn.
[22:14] <Kotono> With added light, you can see hte walls have been dug and picked clean, lots of grottos and chunks missing. After about five minutes of descent you can begin to hear the heavy sounds of metal pounding stone.
[22:15] <Alicia> "More bound servants, or animated mining equipment?" Alicia hazards, sadly unable to proceed with any degree of stealth while she's carrying a glowing rock, though still descending fearlessly.
[22:16] <Seira> "Lagann will get another chance to prove his loyalty and desire to avoid a deep, watery grave, it seems!" Seira says happily.
[22:17] <Kotono> Another two minutes until you get a view. NEw and shiny carts are here, fresh pixaxes in hand. Little men work it, heavy beards and often wearing stout chainmail even as they work on the walls. Usually dark haired, stout creatures indeed. As you approach they turn to look at the light. "Ho, who goes?"
[22:18] <Seira> If this wasn't a time to precast Mage Armor from a scroll before fully getting into sight, Seira doesn't know when it is.
[22:19] <Alicia> "Alicia Reynes, of the Crimson Guard," Alicia calls back, wondering who would wear armour while mining. They don't look like gnomes, so... dwarves? But what are they doing, here?
[22:20] * Demedais glances at them curiously, not really sure what's going on here in general other than it being another test.
[22:20] <Kotono> "Ah, I heard ya. Humans?" One calls, "What the hell are humans doin' down here?"
[22:21] <Alicia> "We're exploring the gnomish ruins above," Alicia gestures back the way they came. "What are you doing here?" she fairly returns the question.
[22:22] * Seira stays back to see how Alicia handles it.
[22:27] <Kotono> "Ruins? Eh." One of the gnomes waves his hand, "We're mining here. Got a vein of good mithril down here." As they work, you can see metal being hacked and hammered out, dwarves with shovels loading it into carts.
[22:29] * Alicia blinks and considers. The doorway here looked just like all the other doors in the ruins, didn't it? It doesn't seem likely that random dwarves would dig a mine that just happens to connect to these ruins and then install an appropriate door. "How long have you been mining here?"
[22:31] <Kotono> "Aah, it's been a good long time, hasn't it?" One of the dwarves lightly stretches back. "Best vein we've even found!"
[22:31] <Seira> Time to glance at things with a critical, magical eye!
[22:31] <Kotono> "When we go back, we'll be rich as a king!" Another calls, as a hunk of silvery metal is dislodged.
[22:32] <Alicia> "Yes... are we talking weeks? Months? Years? Centuries?" Alicia prods. "Where do these mines lead to?"
[22:32] <Kotono> "Ack, it's been awhile," One shrugs, wavely waving a dirty hand. "Back that way's home."
[22:33] <Seira> roll 1d20+21 moderate
[22:33] <Rei-chan> 6,0Seira rolled :6,0 1d20+21 1,0moderate --> 6,0[ 1d20=19 ]4,0{40}
[22:34] <Seira> "Would there be, perchance, a mage amongst you?" Seira asks, finally approaching the dwarves.
[22:35] <Kotono> "Naw. They're useful, but we haven't see ol' Grundrum in...ack, it's been awhile," Another dwarf calls back.
[22:35] * Demedais eyes the mithril, lost in thought for a bit, before approaching another dwarf near the carts. "How much is the going rate for a few pieces of this mithril?"
[22:35] <Seira> "Then you wouldn't know there is strong enchantment upon the entire place until I told you," Seira says, nodding to herself.
[22:35] <Kotono> One of the dwarves stops, wiping his brow. "I'm Chief N'rust. What'cha offering? You got a good eye to come right to the source."
[22:37] <Kotono> "Well, isn't that magic?" One of the dwarves says around the beats of a hammer. "Never could follow ol' Grundrum when he went on about it."
[22:37] <Seira> "I have a crazy orb that likes to shape metal and can detect it when ore deposits are nearby," Seira offers brightly. "How much would you give me for it?"
[22:38] * Demedais considers. "I have hard cash for it, and very little else, I'm afraid, unless you'd like to..." Demedais pauses and eyes Seira for a moment, before turning back. "Unless you have any interest in magical potions as well."
[22:39] <Kotono> "Ack, I'd haveta see it and dig up ol' Grundrum. Where did he get off to...ah, oh well, it isn't important." The dwarf looks up to Seira, "But if it's good, we can trade you mithril."
[22:39] <Kotono> "Potions, eh?" The dwarf looks on at Demedais. "How much do you need?"
[22:40] <Alicia> "What happened to this Grundrum?" Alicia asks after a moment, deciding that with how much they reference him he must be important. Maybe he can explain what's going on here, if they can find him?
[22:40] <Demedais> "Only two or three pieces." Demedais says, unsheathing his sword and showing it to the head dwarf. "I'm looking to improve this, and feel that this mithril would strengthen the blade."
[22:41] <Kotono> "He's our mage. We pay 'em good money to help us when we need things done quick, or stumble on somethin' like that. Good man, that ol' Grundrum!" Chief N'rust slaps his knee at that, "Ack, he's been gone awhile."
[22:41] <Seira> "Where did he go?"
[22:42] <Kotono> "Mmm. Fine blade, fine blade." He leans in and peers at Deme's two hands only sword, "What potions do you got?"
[22:43] <Kotono> "Oh...that wave," Waving vaguely further down the shaft, "Maybe he went home for awhile."
[22:43] <Seira> "Mind if we go take a look?"
[22:44] <Kotono> "Sure. Watch out for camp, don't get getting greedy or anything." The chief calls. "Nice seeing you. Back to work when you're finished talking, everyone!"
[22:44] <Demedais> "A potion of Cure Moderate Wounds, Bull's Strength, and Blur each are the primary three I'm willing to trade."
[22:44] <Seira> "Sure thing," Seira says agreeably, heading in the indicated direction.
[22:46] * Alicia waits for Demedais to conclude his trading before continuing onwards.
[22:46] <Kotono> "Trade those for enough for this...ack, why not? Got enough mithrilhere to build a golem."
[22:47] * Demedais glances over the mithril and nods approvingly. "A deal, then." With that, he fishes out the three potions and hands them over to the dwarf.
[22:47] <Kotono> Demedais gets the mithril in return. "Aaah, this is gonna be nice..." he says, going back towork.
[22:48] * Alicia then follows Seira downwards.
[22:48] * Demedais nods and puts the mithril away before catching up to Alicia. "Sorry about that."
[22:48] <Alicia> "It's alright. Although mithral really won't add much to your sword, you know - it's far better used in making armour," she tells him amiably enough.
[22:49] <Kotono> It takes another twenty minutes of downhill walking before anything changes. The ground briefly levels out, with good reason. A sixty foot chasm is ahead, but a solid metal bridge has been contructed over it.
[22:49] * Alicia glances meaningfully at Seira. "Make sure your orb behaves itself," she tells the half-elf/dragon firmly. With that, she starts walking over the bridge.
[22:50] <Demedais> "I've just got a hunch that mithril will improve the blade some. Can't really explain it other than that." Demedais shrugs. "If I weren't so attached to this armor, I'd take your advice, though." he adds as he follows Alicia across.
[22:50] <Seira> "It always does what I want it to," Seira states just as firmly, following.
[22:51] <Alicia> "You wanted it to stab you with dozens of rusted shards of metal, then?"
[22:51] <Kotono> The bridge is crossed without incident. It's a marvelous thing, sturdy and easily taking your weight. Another ten minutes of descending after, until you come to a split path. There's a path to the right and to the left.
[22:51] <Seira> "Yes. It was a unique experience. Would you like to try it, too?"
[22:52] <Alicia> When in a maze, always take a left turn and you'll never get lost! "Watching it happen to you was more than enough, thanks," Alicia deadpans in reply.
[22:52] <Seira> "I'm glad I could be of service, then," Seira agrees.
[22:53] * Demedais shrugs and follows, staying mute at this point.
[22:53] <Kotono> The party heads left! The slope starts to level off here, before abruptly ending in a complete dead end.
[22:54] <Alicia> Alicia is undeterred, and merely returns so she can take the right fork!
[22:55] * Demedais continues to follow, not knowing enough about mines to give any advice.
[22:55] <Kotono> The party returns to the right side fork. About twenty minutes of walking, before you come to a dead end. Here a dwarven skeleton lies, a few two feet wide burrowholes in thew alls around.
[22:56] <Alicia> "Well, it looks like we've found Grundrum," Alicia sighs, using her light source to peer into the holes.
[22:56] * Seira invokes Detect Magic again to confirm that this is indeed Grundum.
[22:57] <Kotono> In the holes, Alicia can see dozens of crabs. The problem is that they're made entirely of metal, a heavy metallic CHOMP CHOMP as they clack their claws! Dozens of them, with little beady red lite eyes.
[22:58] <Alicia> "Um... the orb might be useful, after all," Alicia decides, backing away from the hole full of tiny beasties that surely killed the poor dwarf. "Lots of tiny metal constructs with claws in the holes."
[22:58] <Seira> "Mmm, magic in the walls," Seira comments.
[22:58] <Seira> roll 1d20+21
[22:58] <Rei-chan> 6,0Seira rolled :6,0 1d20+21 --> 6,0[ 1d20=15 ]4,0{36}
[22:58] <Seira> roll 1d20+21 burrows
[22:58] <Rei-chan> 6,0Seira rolled :6,0 1d20+21 1,0burrows --> 6,0[ 1d20=4 ]4,0{25}
[22:58] <Seira> "How about you retreat and Lagann and I take care of them?" Seira proposes, taking the orb out and properly watering it.
[22:59] * Demedais backs off as well, eyeing Seira. "Please don't get stabbed again."
[22:59] * Alicia readily backs off, confident that if the orb functions properly it should make short work of the constructs.
[23:00] <Seira> "You should have thought of that before stabbing me in the face, you retard," Seira says out loud, watering the orb some more. "I'd spank you if I could, but this is the next best thing."
[23:05] <Kotono> OOC - Go ahead and act, Seira, ifyou're doing something besides the PM action.
[23:05] <Seira> OOC: Want an answer on that first before I proceed
[23:07] * Seira seeks out designs for the high-quality steel hiding in the walls and about to try and eat them all alive. A set of armor and weapons would be best, but anything the orb believes dwarves would like is good.
[23:09] <Seira> Keeping the orb and its will permanently doused, Seira reaches out with her hand towards the burrows and commands, "Lagann, reforge those constructs into a glorious offering for the connesseiurs of metal, dwarves!"
[23:11] <Kotono> OOC - You're cruel to that poor orb. Anyway, int check, I'm going to apply a negative modifier to it's roll because of what you're doing.
[23:11] <Seira> roll 1d20+9 he stabbed me in the face, this cannot be overstated
[23:11] <Rei-chan> 6,0Seira rolled :6,0 1d20+9 1,0he stabbed me in the face, this cannot be overstated --> 6,0[ 1d20=12 ]4,0{21}

[23:12] <Kotono> roll 20#1d20+4
[23:12] <Rei-chan> 6,0Kotono rolled :6,0 20#1d20+4 --> 6,0[ 1d20=15 ]4,0{19}, 6,0[ 1d20=2 ]4,0{6}, 6,0[ 1d20=4 ]4,0{8}, 6,0[ 1d20=19 ]4,0{23}, 6,0[ 1d20=14 ]4,0{18}, 6,0[ 1d20=19 ]4,0{23}, 6,0[ 1d20=11 ]4,0{15}, 6,0[ 1d20=11 ]4,0{15}, 6,0[ 1d20=16 ]4,0{20}, 6,0[ 1d20=18 ]4,0{22}, 6,0[ 1d20=8 ]4,0{12}, 6,0[ 1d20=4 ]4,0{8}, 6,0[ 1d20=11 ]4,0{15}, 6,0[ 1d20=10 ]4,0{14}, 6,0[ 1d20=18 ]4,0{22}, 6,0[ 1d20=18 ]4,0{
[23:13] <Kotono> roll 4#1d20+4
[23:13] <Rei-chan> 6,0Kotono rolled :6,0 4#1d20+4 --> 6,0[ 1d20=13 ]4,0{17}, 6,0[ 1d20=5 ]4,0{9}, 6,0[ 1d20=16 ]4,0{20}, 6,0[ 1d20=20 ]4,0{24}
[23:14] <Kotono> There is a horrible squealing, crunching sound from the walls! Shards of metal begin to fly out, rattling inside! Several chunks of crabby metal are extracted, skittering! It's a nice pile as it begins to be weaved, into a vicious, jagged looking and rough battleaxe. You can hear rustling in the walls, but it's receding.
[23:15] * Seira allows its form to finalize, before placing Lagann away and picking up the axe. "Well, let's go and see if the dwarves want to trade this for some more mithril?" she asks.
[23:16] <Alicia> "Maybe if we tell them what happened to their friend it will snap them out of their current state," Alicia theorises, briefly looking over the skeleton for any items or anything that could be used to identify it.
[23:17] <Seira> "Or they'll turn on us," Seira responds. "It's best to check in with the present-time dwarves first. We do have some of the names of the dwarves here."

[Corwin]

[18:33] <Alicia> "Wouldn't that be like asking me and Demedais if we knew the names of some random human miners from ten thousand or however many years ago?" Alicia asks incredulously. "That's if they're even real and not just figments like that gnome you said you met at the spellgem production line."
[18:34] <Seira> "Hello? Chief. Mage. That's not random."
[18:35] <Alicia> "It really is. I can't name all the chiefs and mages in the world today, never mind ones from thousands of years ago," Alicia protests. "Why would asking other dwarves about them stop them from turning on us if that's what they're going to do, anyway?"
[18:36] <Seira> "They're a society of isolationists that live longer than humans," Seira answers to the first part. "And why would they turn on us to begin with?"
[18:36] <Demedais> "...Why would they turn on us?" Demedais says, frowning.
[18:37] <Kokokokokoko> As the party talks, they can hear slightly too loud metallic CLICK CLACKING in thew alls.
[18:37] * Alicia stares at Seira blankly. "... you *just* said 'Or they'll turn on us,'" she complains, sounding frustrated. "I have no idea why they would, but you seem to think it's a concern that we can alleviate by talking to other dwarves."
[18:38] * Seira sighs, and takes Lagann's present before heading back, not caring to stay near these walls. "These dwarves, clearly under enchantment and compulsion. They might turn on us if we show up with a corpse of their friend and claim magic killed him, not us. The present-time dwarves are safe to talk to, however."
[18:40] * Demedais looks to the walls. "Uh... whatever's in the walls is re-emerging. Let's go, mmkay?" Acting on this, he moves away from the area a bit, waiting for Alicia to follow.
[18:40] <Alicia> "If they're stupid enough to think a corpse that old was recently killed by us, and choose to attack us over it, then they deserve what they get," Alicia shakes her head. "They seemed perfectly reasonable, if vague and evasive, however. I don't see why we should leave them here to go on some wild goose chase after dwarves elsewhere when we can deal with this right now." She does start to retreat back the way they came as she talks.
[18:41] <Kokokokokoko> So the party heads back to the bridge. It's metallic span is without note, the chasm below dim. Nothing of immediat enote can be seen.
[18:42] <Alicia> "Hold on a second," Alicia asks, casting Light on a spare rock and then dropping it over the edge of the bridge and peering down to see if she can see the bottom.
[18:42] <Alicia> roll 1d100
[18:42] <Rei-chan> 6,0Alicia rolled :6,0 1d100 --> 6,0[ 1d100=1 ]4,0{1}
[18:42] <Alicia> roll 1d100 x2
[18:42] <Rei-chan> 6,0Alicia rolled :6,0 1d100 1,0x2 --> 6,0[ 1d100=16 ]4,0{16}
[18:44] <Kokokokokoko> Alicia peers down, as does Antenora. The rock plummets about one hundred feet before revealing a bottom, bouncing there. Down there is a solid bottom, small metallic shapes moving down there. There's a whole lot of real estate down there, but you'd have to descend to get any sort of coherent look.
[18:45] <Alicia> "More of those mechanical crabs... a lot of them, too," Alicia observes. "Lets not fall down," she suggests, moving on.
[18:46] <Kokokokokoko> So the party returns to the dwarves. They are working dutifully, but one thing has changed. The metal outof the wall is laced with dull flecks of yellow-gold, great big chunks from worked veins. "C'mon!" One calls, "Keep it moving, these are fine veins!"
[18:47] <Alicia> "Wasn't that mithral, before?" Alicia asks pointedly, walking over to the dwarves.
[18:47] * Demedais blinks, before quickly checking his bag to see if he has gold or mythril chunks in there.
[18:48] <Demedais> "Okay. So, Seira. This has... definitely changed. Any idea what's causing it?"
[18:48] <Kokokokokoko> "Hm? Oh, it you guys again!" The dwarves look, a few stopping, "Been awhile, hasn't it? You must like it down here, got some dwarf in you?"
[18:49] * Seira certainly hopes not. She presents Lagann's creation to the dwarf that had just spoken, and asks, "Interested in this?"
[18:50] <Alicia> "It's barely been ten minutes," Alicia protests. "What happened to the mithral you were mining, earlier?" Maybe if she can force them to face the absurdity of their situation, it'll help them snap out of things.
[18:50] <Kokokokokoko> The lead dwarf comes forward, eyeing the weapon. "Ain't she a strange one?" he murmurs, hefting it. "Aaack, that was awhile ago." he waves his hand, "We're onto a vein of gold now. A rich one, too!"
[18:51] <Seira> "It's very unique and made of fine material," Seira agrees. "I'm comfortable in saying the design won't be found elsewhere."
[18:52] <Kokokokokoko> The dwarf swings it a few times, "The balance is strange, but so's the design. It does seem unique," he admits after some thought. "Where'd you get it from? Is this the work of a hermit blacksmith? It's unique enough!"
[18:53] * Seira considers the answer. "Yeah, sure, that fits Lagann well enough."
[18:53] * Demedais uncomfortably keeps an eye down the path they just came from.
[18:53] * Alicia stops her instinctive reply that they haven't even moved far enough to discover a new vein, instead deciding to adopt a different tack. "I suppose it has been a while," she concedes reluctantly. "Speaking of that, I'm hungry - how about you?" she smiles invitingly to the dwarves, having noticed a complete lack of any food down here. Certainly nothing to sustain hard working miners for a day, far less millenia.
[18:54] <Demedais> roll 1d20+8
[18:54] <Rei-chan> 6,0Demedais rolled :6,0 1d20+8 --> 6,0[ 1d20=5 ]4,0{13}
[18:54] <Kokokokokoko> "Eh? We just ate awhile ago," One dwarf calls, "Stick 'round for awhile for our next meal if you want! You're not bad company!"
[18:54] <Alicia> "Really? What did you eat?" Alicia asks, looking for any sign of rations or evidence of previous cooking nearby.
[18:55] <Kokokokokoko> Alicia cannot see anything like that, "Oh, the chef makes us all sorts of things back at camp!" The leader turns to Alicia, "Along with brewin' his own ale! It's great."
[18:55] <Kokokokokoko> "But," he stops, turning back to the vein, "We're gonna mine right now. We got a fortune right here and we're gonna be rich as kings after this!"
[18:56] * Demedais grunts, before walking through the mess of dwarves to look back the way they came in right now.
[18:56] <Alicia> "Where is your camp?" Alicia asks, starting to get a bit frustrated but doing her best to keep a lid on it.
[18:57] <Seira> "Speaking of being rich, want to buy it?" Seira asks the dwarf examining her weapon, letting Alicia chat the rest of them up.
[18:57] <Kokokokokoko> "Aaack, just down that aways," Waving down the way you came absently, "If you see Grundrum there, tell 'em that we're gonna be rich!"
[18:58] <Kokokokokoko> "Mmm, yeah, sure," The dwarf kneels down, taking up a few chunks of raw gold. "This strike your fancy?"
[18:58] <Alicia> "No," Alicia shakes her head. "We've been down there, and there's no camp. And we saw Grundrum, too, and he won't be coming back." She tried leading up to it, but now it's time to be blunt!
[18:58] <Demedais> "Speaking of Grundrum, metal crabs, and all such things..." Demedais grunts, drawing his sword.
[18:58] <Demedais> "We seem to have an escort of crabs coming this way."
[18:58] * Seira accepts them. "Sure!"
[18:59] <Kokokokokoko> "Eh?" The lead dwarf looks at Alicia oddly, "What, is he hung over or something?" He asks with alook of annoyance, "Great guy, but he holds his ale like an elf!" With a loud snort as the gold's passed over, "Hey, simmer down!" he calls to Demedais, "Don't be drawin' a weapon around here, don't want any misunderstnadings!"
[18:59] * Seira takes out her orb at Demedais's words, preemptively watering it, before looking in the direction Demedais indicated.
[19:00] <Alicia> "He's dead," Alicia responds forcefully, before pointing down the tunnel towards the approaching crabs. "Those things killed him!"
[19:00] * Demedais looks to the dwarves, before moving back down the hallway a bit. "I apologize, friend dwarves, but there is danger coming from this direction. Don't think you want to be harmed by these, so."
[19:00] * Demedais glances to Seira. "Are you going to try and use that?"
[19:01] <Kokokokokoko> As Seira and Alicia look down, so do the dwarves! The party can see a small horde of tiny metal crabs rushing forward, dozens!  However, the dwarves look on plainly before turning back. "DEAD? How? What? What happened to him, Gods rest his soul in the Great Mines?"
[19:02] <Alicia> roll 1d100
[19:02] <Rei-chan> 6,0Alicia rolled :6,0 1d100 --> 6,0[ 1d100=25 ]4,0{25}
[19:02] <Demedais> "They probably can't see them with whatever magic's on this place. Deal with that later?" Demedais suggests, tapping his shield so it hovers near Seira instead as she prepares to use the orb.
[19:02] * Seira gestures at the first wave of the metal crabs, commanding Lagann to turn them into garden gnomes or die in horrible rusting pains!
[19:03] <Kokokokokoko> OOC - Int check. +2 since you've once again abused that poor orb into additional trama.
[19:03] <Seira> roll 1d20+11
[19:03] <Rei-chan> 6,0Seira rolled :6,0 1d20+11 --> 6,0[ 1d20=13 ]4,0{24}
[19:03] <Kokokokokoko> roll 1d20+7
[19:03] <Rei-chan> 6,0Kokokokokoko rolled :6,0 1d20+7 --> 6,0[ 1d20=5 ]4,0{12}
[19:04] <Kokokokokoko> CRACK! There is a snapping of metal as the crabs are thrown to gether, several of them being twisted into little gnome statues! The rest quickly break and begin to scurry backwards, a metallic rasping! "Now what are you doing?" The leader dwarf asks in exasperation. "Makin' a bunch of ruckus while we're trying to mine!"
[19:05] <Seira> "Hey, that's not us," Seira tells him. "We're clearly over here, and the ruckus is all the way over there." She gestures vaguely towards the gnomes. "Maybe there's a rodent or two?"
[19:05] <Kokokokokoko> "Fucking rats," One of the dwarves calls with a laugh, as the metallic crabs beat a very hasty retreat. "Bah, back to work!"
[19:06] <Alicia> "Don't you care that Grundrum is dead?" Alicia asks incredulously.
[19:06] * Demedais leans on his blade a bit and reclaims the shield. "Perhaps we should capture one of them to show to the dwarves? They may know more about them."
[19:06] <Kokokokokoko> "Eh? What was that?" The dwarven leader frowns, rubbing his head, "WHat happened to Grundrum now?"
[19:06] <Seira> "Alicia," Seira tells the paladin quietly. "They're under enchantment magic and I don't have the right tools to break it. They can't help it, and we can't help them, for now."
[19:07] <Alicia> "That's becoming clearly obvious," Alicia sighs. "Lets come back when we can dispel it, I suppose."
[19:07] <Demedais> "This almost feels like the incident at Lord Stargazer's." Demedais grunts.
[19:08] <Kokokokokoko> Antenora chuckles darkly at that, "It is enchantment," she agrees. "It's good work,' she adds after a moment, "They're almost unaware."
[19:09] <Seira> "It's a matter of getting information from those dwarves under their faculties, then researching the solution before even thinking of resorting to brute force," Seira continues. "Did you really think a large party lead by a chief and a mage going missing would go unreported in an ordered society like theirs?"
[19:10] <Alicia> "I wonder if Grundrum broke the enchantment and that's why he was killed?" Alicia hazards, before shaking her head. "Even if it was reported, I really doubt any reports from thousands of years ago can be found. They probably went missing in the chaos of the war with the gnomes, remember."
[19:11] <Kokokokokoko> The dwarves are largely backto working, mining great raw chunks of gold out from plentiful veins.
[19:11] <Seira> "Some records of the period exists. We found them, in fact." Seira shrugs. "In any case, it wouldn't cost us to try. You mentioned moving on? I agree."
[19:12] * Demedais sighs, glancing down the hallway one more time. "I must admit I'm not fond of leaving before we've managed to figure this out. All the rest of the doors thus far have been self-contained, haven't they?"
[19:13] <Kokokokokoko> "There's only one place we haven't gone," Antenora drawls as she looks backward as well. "Do you fancy diving into a chasm filled with those minature metal crabs?"
[19:13] <Kokokokokoko> After a moment, Antenora glances sidelong at Demedais, "I'm sure that fall isn't as far as the last one, too."
[19:14] <Alicia> "Well, you could see down there better than us," Alicia points out. "Was there anything down there besides a swarm of metal crabs?"
[19:15] * Demedais returns the glance. "Didn't look like it, did it. However, please do excuse me if I don't, ah, leap to the opportunity. Perhaps there's a hidden door in that dead end area?
[19:15] <Kokokokokoko> "It was vast and I did not look overly long," Antenora returns, "There very well may have been a door or passage I did not see, but it was completely infested."
[19:15] <Kokokokokoko> After a moment, her expression darkens drastically, before she abruptly turns away.
[19:17] <Seira> "We can go and see what else the devils were guarding, then," Seira suggests.
[19:17] <Alicia> Since only Seira has the magic capable of dealing with so many foes at once, Alicia isn't in any hurry to deal with the swarm herself. "Very well."
[19:18] <Kokokokokoko> "Let's," Antenora's voice is complete frost, as she abruptly starts heading out, stiff backed.
[19:18] <Demedais> "..." Demedais seems about to say something, but stops and shakes his head slightly. "Fine."
[19:21] <Kokokokokoko> The party heads back out without incident. The trip out ofthe section of the Fifth Resort passes without anything of note, Ajan waiting patiently. As the party steps out, "It's begun. Without any doubt, you are to be the ones." His voice is restrained, "I wish you good fortune ahead, then."
[19:21] * Seira thanks the nice dragon before proceeding!
[19:21] <Demedais> "Thank you, Ajan. So the effects are noticeable even from here..." Demedais muses.
[19:21] * Alicia decides to see if she can get anything out of the old dragon before moving on. "We met a dragon turtle back there. It seemed to know you," she comments.
[19:22] <Kokokokokoko> "The effects were surely felt throughout the world," Ajan rumbles, but ceases at Alicia's question. "Dragons do not forget easily. Especially ones with nothing but time."
[19:24] <Alicia> "So, even among the guardians placed here by the Gods, there are grudges?" Alicia asks, having hoped for a bit more elaboration. She's almost sidetracked by the first comment, but not quite.
[19:25] <Kokokokokoko> "We serve..." Ajan's face creases in what could be a dragon's amused, dark smile, full of sparking, fiery teeth. "But we do not forget. Not entirely."
[19:27] <Alicia> "No, I don't suppose you do," Alicia relents, not expecting she'll get any more out of the wyrm, and proceeding onwards to their next destination.
[19:27] * Demedais nods to Ajan, before proceeding.
[19:28] <Kokokokokoko> The smithy of devils is a fiery, dark place still. The bound devils look on at you with hatred and grudging acceptance, working away at the infernal machinations. There is one door left here...
[19:28] * Seira heads for it, having vetted it previously.
[19:29] * Demedais nods and follows Seira, sword prepared for this.
[19:29] * Alicia returns the looks with distaste, but sees little point in provoking a fight against harmlessly bound devils, at least for now.
[19:29] <Kokokokokoko> Past this door is a stone cavern. The walls have been hewed into rough stone bricks and slabs, giving itthe apperance of a building. The path descends downward sharply, a slope dangerous to descend. There is no light whatsoever.
[19:30] <Alicia> Fortunately, Alicia still has her glowing rock!
[19:30] <Kokokokokoko> Antenora looks back at them with a masked, hard expression, not saying a single word.
[19:30] <Kokokokokoko> With light, you can see that the passage is full of dips, holes and the like. It's also fairly smooth and polished, making it deceptively easy to fall over and go on a great big rolling tumble down to the unseen end.
[19:32] * Alicia moves close to the wall so she has a handy hand-hold, and begins to carefully descend downwards.
[19:33] <Kokokokokoko> Antenora lightly hovers just over the surface of the ground, descending quietly behind Alicia.
[19:33] <Seira> As long as the pits are deep enough, she'll have time to cast flight. That thought calms Seira considerably as she follows Alicia's path.
[19:33] * Demedais eyes the holes with something approaching a mild distaste, trying to measure just how wide they are.
[19:35] * Demedais shakes his head, quickly taking off his armor and stowing it before following the group.
[19:35] <Kokokokokoko> With proper precautions, the party lacks any serious difficulty going down for five minutes. The walls become smoother, more well formed. The plain rock tints toward a dull black, a faint glassy hue. Ahead, you see that heavy steel prison doors have been build into the walls, paired to face each other even twenty feet. Fron the first one you see a skeletal hand reaching out, hanging there in a forsaken gesture.
[19:36] <Kokokokokoko> *every, not even.
[19:36] <Seira> "Well, doesn't that bring back memories," Seira mutters, examining the skeleton and his cell.
[19:36] * Alicia goes to look in the first two doors, casting detect magic beforehand.
[19:36] <Alicia> roll 1d100
[19:36] <Rei-chan> 6,0Alicia rolled :6,0 1d100 --> 6,0[ 1d100=77 ]4,0{77}
[19:37] <Kokokokokoko> The skeleton is a humanoid one - a human or elf or alike, perhaps. He's leaned against the door of an empty cell, reaching out for denied freedom. There is nothing in the cell, not even a bad. Just cold, hard floor.
[19:37] <Alicia> roll 1d20+7 spellcraft
[19:37] <Rei-chan> 6,0Alicia rolled :6,0 1d20+7 1,0spellcraft --> 6,0[ 1d20=10 ]4,0{17}
[19:37] * Seira checks every door for completeness's sake before considering moving on.
[19:39] <Alicia> "There's magic through this whole area - it's stronger inside the cells," Alicia reports.
[19:39] <Kokokokokoko> There are dozens of doors ahead, going on and on and on. Seira checks the first 8, finding them all the same. A skeleton or two, of varying size and race. Of people reaching out from doors, or huddle din corners, or curled into balls of weeping despair as the end came.
[19:41] <Seira> "It's strange. Was a gnomish outpost drawn into this place, or was the jail for the God-King merely built to resemble it in part?" Contemplative, Seira heads forward towards where she expects the guard station to be.
[19:41] * Demedais simply shakes his head, following Seira's lead on this.
[19:42] <Alicia> "Wasn't it a gnomish facility to start with that was converted afterwards?" Alicia asks, following along and occassionally glancing in the cells as she passes.
[19:42] <Kokokokokoko> As you walk down, you begin to hear an echoing sound approaching. The sound of a set of footsteps, loud and uncaring.
[19:43] * Seira only cares enough to cast a pair of protective spells before proceeding.
[19:43] * Alicia follows Seira's lead and casts Shield on herself.
[19:43] <Alicia> roll 1d100
[19:43] <Rei-chan> 6,0Alicia rolled :6,0 1d100 --> 6,0[ 1d100=9 ]4,0{9}
[19:43] * Demedais grunts as he dons the armor again in preparation.
[19:45] <Kokokokokoko> As the footsteps comec loser, the party can see the figure in question. Ahead, past yet more cells, is a small humanoid. A humanoid wearing utter rags, stopping at one hundred feet past you. A face of rotted flesh and ancient bone, a macrebre smile forever fixed on his face. He looks forward, before breaking into peals of laughter.
[19:45] * Seira answers the cackling undead with a casting of Detect Magic.
[19:45] <Seira> roll 1d20+21 spellcraft~

[19:46] <Rei-chan> 6,0Seira rolled :6,0 1d20+21 1,0spellcraft~ x2 --> 6,0[ 1d20=6 ]4,0{27}
[19:46] <Alicia> Such a disquieting reaction! "What's so funny?" Alicia asks warily, stepping forward close enough so she can tell if he's evil or not.
[19:47] <Kokokokokoko> OOC: How close is that, Alicia?
[19:47] <Alicia> OOC: 60 feet
[19:48] <Kokokokokoko> "Hahahahahahahahahahahaahaha! Finally, more prisoners!" His cackle is mad as Alicia approaches, "Fresh meaaaat! You filthy non believers will wither here forever!"
[19:48] * Alicia starts casting True Strike.
[19:49] <Seira> "I was going to offer you a painless final death if you told me what I wanted to know, but I think I'll pass."
[19:49] * Demedais just prepares his sword, and on the laughing he levels his blade. "Please pardon us if we don't."
[19:49] <Kokokokokoko> OOC - If you guys are going casty and such...eh, go ahead and do one reasonable action since he's going to do one then we'll go into initiative.
[19:50] * Seira opts to go with Haste.
[19:50] <Alicia> roll 1d100 nerveskitter~
[19:50] <Rei-chan> 6,0Alicia rolled :6,0 1d100 1,0nerveskitter~ --> 6,0[ 1d100=75 ]4,0{75}

[19:50] <Rei-chan> 6,0Alicia rolled :6,0 1d20+10 --> 6,0[ 1d20=17 ]4,0{27}
[19:50] <Kokokokokoko> As he speaks, the cell doors slam open! The crackling, crinkling sound of old bones moving echos wildly around, dozens of sources!
[19:50] <Seira> roll 1d20+11 nerveskitter
[19:50] <Rei-chan> 6,0Seira rolled :6,0 1d20+11 1,0nerveskitter --> 6,0[ 1d20=7 ]4,0{18}

[19:51] <Rei-chan> 6,0Kokokokokoko rolled :6,0 1d20+5 --> 6,0[ 1d20=16 ]4,0{21}
[19:52] * Kokokokokoko changes topic to 'Alicia>Leader>Antenora>Seira=Demedais>Skeletons'
[19:52] <Kokokokokoko> OOC - Go, Alicia.
[19:53] * Alicia bolts forward like a shot from a gun, if such things had been invented, her sword held back and then unleashed in a devastating diagonal slash through the undead gnome jailer's form!
[19:54] <Alicia> roll 1d20+29 -7 power attack
[19:54] <Rei-chan> 6,0Alicia rolled :6,0 1d20+29 1,0-7 power attack --> 6,0[ 1d20=19 ]4,0{48}
[19:54] <Kokokokokoko> OOC - Hit.
[19:54] <Alicia> roll 1d8+24
[19:54] <Rei-chan> 6,0Alicia rolled :6,0 1d8+24 --> 6,0[ 1d8=2 ]4,0{26}
[19:56] <Kokokokokoko> With a massive slash the creature's body is stricken, resisting heavily but still cut!  As he does, "Oh, oh, oh, oh! Meaaaat!" he laughs despite it, beginning to concentrate!
[19:56] <Kokokokokoko> roll 1d20+13
[19:56] <Rei-chan> 6,0Kokokokokoko rolled :6,0 1d20+13 --> 6,0[ 1d20=5 ]4,0{18}
[19:58] <Kokokokokoko> But nothing seems to happen! OOC - Antenora's up.
[19:58] <Kokokokokoko> Taking the chance she's given, Antenora doesn't say a word! Instead she charges with her spear, rushing forward swiftly!
[19:58] <Kokokokokoko> roll 1d20+18
[19:58] <Rei-chan> 6,0Kokokokokoko rolled :6,0 1d20+18 --> 6,0[ 1d20=19 ]4,0{37}
[19:59] <Kokokokokoko> roll 2d8+18
[19:59] <Rei-chan> 6,0Kokokokokoko rolled :6,0 2d8+18 --> 6,0[ 2d8=9 ]4,0{27}
[20:00] <Kokokokokoko> Antenora closes and spears the undead controller with one fell swoop, running him through! IT barely gives him pause, however! OOC - SEira and Demedais are up. Undead are comming out of the cells in the form of skeletons, and the laughing guy's at point and being assaulted.
[20:01] <Seira> "Think you can hold the dead prisoners up, Demedais?" Seira asks, glancing back.
[20:01] <Demedais> "Should be able to. You help Alicia and Antenora." Demedais nods, laying into the nearest skeleton with his blade!
[20:02] * Seira acquires several reliable doubles, heading towards the crazy mage with her weapons drawn!
[20:02] <Seira> roll 1d4+3
[20:02] <Rei-chan> 6,0Seira rolled :6,0 1d4+3 --> 6,0[ 1d4=3 ]4,0{6}
[20:02] <Kokokokokoko> OOC - Make your attack rolls, Deme?
[20:02] <Kokokokokoko> OOC - Roll, rather. Movement.
[20:03] <Demedais> roll 1d20+10 (+1 Haste -4 PA) to a skeleton near the ladies.
[20:03] <Rei-chan> 6,0Demedais rolled :6,0 1d20+10 1,0(+1 Haste -4 PA) to a skeleton near the ladies. --> 6,0[ 1d20=2 ]4,0{12}
[20:04] <Kokokokokoko> Clang! Deme's sword bounces off the breastbone of the first skeleton he sees, unable to score a hit! At that, the skeletons come out! The one attacked immediately sets into Demedais!
[20:04] <Kokokokokoko> roll 1d20+6
[20:04] <Rei-chan> 6,0Kokokokokoko rolled :6,0 1d20+6 --> 6,0[ 1d20=5 ]4,0{11}
[20:05] <Kokokokokoko> But the heavy armor of Demedais protects him! However, as he is close to the skeleton, he feels an unearthly chill, sapping his energy!
[20:05] <Kokokokokoko> roll 1d4
[20:05] <Rei-chan> 6,0Kokokokokoko rolled :6,0 1d4 --> 6,0[ 1d4=2 ]4,0{2}
[20:06] <Kokokokokoko> Several skeletons amble out! One is close enough to interdict Seira as she moves, making a bony handed attack!
[20:06] <Kokokokokoko> roll 1d20+6
[20:06] <Rei-chan> 6,0Kokokokokoko rolled :6,0 1d20+6 --> 6,0[ 1d20=6 ]4,0{12}
[20:06] <Kokokokokoko> OOC - Does that even hit your image AC?
[20:06] <Kokokokokoko> OOC - Nope.
[20:07] <Kokokokokoko> The skeleton's hand paws feebly at Seira, missing! However, she feels a horrid cold sap at her as it's close to her body!
[20:07] <Kokokokokoko> roll 1d4
[20:07] <Rei-chan> 6,0Kokokokokoko rolled :6,0 1d4 --> 6,0[ 1d4=2 ]4,0{2}
[20:08] <Kokokokokoko> The rest amble out, all about now and littering the way with interferences! OOC - Alicia, you're up.
[20:08] * Alicia tumbles around behind the jailer so she and Antenora can flank him, before delivering a punishing vertical slash as she rises!
[20:08] <Alicia> roll 1d20+13 DC 15 tumble
[20:08] <Rei-chan> 6,0Alicia rolled :6,0 1d20+13 1,0DC 15 tumble --> 6,0[ 1d20=19 ]4,0{32}

[20:09] <Rei-chan> 6,0Alicia rolled :6,0 1d8+18 --> 6,0[ 1d8=8 ]4,0{26}
[20:10] <Kokokokokoko> Alicia successfully hits him again! With a sneer her turns to her, "Perish, perish, perish!" he cajoles, starting to cast! "Sufffffeeeer!" His laugh is unsteady, "So much, what's a little more?"
[20:10] <Kokokokokoko> roll 1d20+13
[20:10] <Rei-chan> 6,0Kokokokokoko rolled :6,0 1d20+13 --> 6,0[ 1d20=20 ]4,0{33}
[20:12] <Kokokokokoko> His hand reaches out, an extra crackling bolt of lighting slamming into Alicia! "Suuuuufffeeeeer!" OOC - Ref save.
[20:12] <Alicia> roll 1d20+10
[20:12] <Rei-chan> 6,0Alicia rolled :6,0 1d20+10 --> 6,0[ 1d20=12 ]4,0{22}

[20:12] <Seira> OOC: It's 19. Really.
[20:13] <Kokokokokoko> OOC - 58, but you made your save for half.
[20:14] <Kokokokokoko> The electric discharge shocks Alicia, but she's able to whirl out ofthe way of the worst of it! As she does, Antenora keeps fighting! Her eyes glow an ominous red, as she lets out a sudden battle cry and fearsome slash!
[20:14] <Kokokokokoko> roll 1d20+12 (-4 PA)
[20:14] <Rei-chan> 6,0Kokokokokoko rolled :6,0 1d20+12 1,0(-4 PA) --> 6,0[ 1d20=4 ]4,0{16}
[20:14] <Kokokokokoko> While full of rage, the attack whistles by and misses the undead caster! OOC - Deme and Seira are up.
[20:15] * Demedais continues to keep the skeletons occupied, his blade flashing at their chests!
[20:15] * Seira happily stabs at the long-dead gnome, her blades filled with arcane power!
[20:15] <Demedais> roll 1d20+10 (+1 Haste -4 PA)
[20:15] <Rei-chan> 6,0Demedais rolled :6,0 1d20+10 1,0(+1 Haste -4 PA) --> 6,0[ 1d20=5 ]4,0{15}

[20:17] <Kokokokokoko> OOC - ...oh wait, your'e Demedais, not Seira. Fucking hell, I'm a birdbrain. All three hit then.
[20:18] <Kokokokokoko> OOC - Dagger'sa crit threat if th's the third Resort, Seira.
[20:18] <Seira> roll 1d20+16 sword
[20:18] <Rei-chan> 6,0Seira rolled :6,0 1d20+16 1,0sword --> 6,0[ 1d20=1 ]4,0{17}

[20:20] <Kokokokokoko> As Demedais shatters a skeleton into rubble, Seira darts forward! The Third Resort glistens with a strange energy, as it stabs right into the skull of the creature! IT seems to do grevious damage not normally possible, ripping out viciously! It makes the caster stagger back, before it's body crumbles like the spring wind! At that moment, the skeletons sigh and collapse as well, the battle coming to an end.
[20:22] <Demedais> "Well." Demedais says, looking over the skeletons. "That was thankfully short.
[20:23] <Kokokokokoko> Antenora lets out an interrupted snarl, before putting her spear away and looking down at the creature. With a nasty look, she gives it's decayed body a pointed kick.
[20:23] <Alicia> "Not thankfully for some of us," Alicia gives the Erinyes a dubious look. "Got some frustrations to work off?"
[20:23] * Seira does something more worthwhile, such as observing it for anything of value!
[20:25] * Seira takes the golden key and examines the remainder of the prison.
[20:25] <Kokokokokoko> "...I am fine, Mistress," Antenora says shortly, falling back behind her.
[20:25] * Alicia takes a moment to heal her wounds, using up a couple of wand charges along with her own powers.
[20:26] <Alicia> roll 2d8+2+10 (lay on hands +2 CLW)
[20:26] <Rei-chan> 6,0Alicia rolled :6,0 2d8+2+10 1,0(lay on hands +2 CLW) --> 6,0[ 2d8=9 ]4,0{21}
[20:26] <Kokokokokoko> Seira goes a little more ahead and sees the line of cells ends after this. There's a little plaza, with a door ahead and a few doors on the side walls.
[20:26] <Demedais> "I can understand the desire to vent." Demedais nods a bit, following Seira and assisting if needed.
[20:26] * Seira opens all the doors that don't look like they lead to cells.
[20:27] <Alicia> "I doubt that was the only thing we'll have to fight... still, makes you wonder how many other undead gnomes could be hidden away around the world, doesn't it?" Alicia comments after healing herself, following along.
[20:28] <Kokokokokoko> roll 1d20
[20:28] <Rei-chan> 6,0Kokokokokoko rolled :6,0 1d20 --> 6,0[ 1d20=1 ]4,0{1}
[20:30] <Kokokokokoko> Seira finds that one room leads to an ancient equipment and storage room. Iron manacles, little daggers, pliers, whips and that sort of unsavory thing lies here. The next room is locked, and the third leads to an office on a glance.
[20:30] * Seira checks the locking mechanism on the second door for traps before forcing it open.
[20:30] <Seira> roll 1d20+11 search
[20:30] <Rei-chan> 6,0Seira rolled :6,0 1d20+11 1,0search --> 6,0[ 1d20=10 ]4,0{21}

[20:31] <Kokokokokoko> There's no traps, just a little keyhole.
[20:31] <Kokokokokoko> OOC: Sec, don't reply yet then.
[20:32] <Kokokokokoko> The lock doesn't open on Seira's first try.
[20:32] * Seira tries her key.
[20:34] <Kokokokokoko> The door unlocks. As you do, you hear a secondary, soft click as the door smoothly opens. Inside is the remains of a beautiful sitting room. Pleasant chairs and an a black, empty hearth lie here. However, above it and dominating the room, is a portrait. IT is of a fearsome gnome, with a great white beard and a conical cap. As Seira sees it...OOC - Will save. Bonus versus enchantment and fear apply.
[20:36] <Seira> roll 1d20+17
[20:36] <Rei-chan> 6,0Seira rolled :6,0 1d20+17 --> 6,0[ 1d20=13 ]4,0{30}
[20:36] <Kokokokokoko> Despite a horrid chill of fear that grasps Seira, she holds firm in sight of the painting.
[20:36] * Seira stabs the painting with her dagger.
[20:36] <Seira> In the face.
[20:37] <Kokokokokoko> The Third Resort tears the painting easily, the feeling of fear leaving the room.
[20:37] * Seira looks for anything of value or magical, which should really be the same thing.
[20:37] <Kokokokokoko> OOC - Search check.
[20:37] * Demedais follows Seira in, assisting with the search.
[20:38] <Seira> roll 1d20+11
[20:38] <Rei-chan> 6,0Seira rolled :6,0 1d20+11 --> 6,0[ 1d20=16 ]4,0{27}
[20:38] <Demedais> roll 1d20+1 assist Seira
[20:38] <Rei-chan> 6,0Demedais rolled :6,0 1d20+1 1,0assist Seira --> 6,0[ 1d20=13 ]4,0{14}
[20:38] * Alicia peers into the room, and offers some assistance searching. "So, it seems like we've covered all the areas in this section, but there's no sign of the seal..." she observes.
[20:38] <Alicia> roll 1d20+1 aid
[20:38] <Rei-chan> 6,0Alicia rolled :6,0 1d20+1 1,0aid --> 6,0[ 1d20=1 ]4,0{2}
[20:39] <Seira> "There are more doors, here," Seira responds. "Though there's no rush!"
[20:39] <Kokokokokoko> The room is searched! Buried in the ancient ashes of the fireplace, you find a small, glittering red gem.
[20:40] <Seira> roll 1d20+21
[20:40] <Rei-chan> 6,0Seira rolled :6,0 1d20+21 --> 6,0[ 1d20=5 ]4,0{26}
[20:42] <Kokokokokoko> Antenora hangs back for all of this, still silent and looking on with a cold, distant look.
[20:43] * Seira pockets the gem, and examines the rest of the side doors.
[20:44] <Seira> roll 1d20+11
[20:44] <Rei-chan> 6,0Seira rolled :6,0 1d20+11 --> 6,0[ 1d20=17 ]4,0{28}
[20:44] <Kokokokokoko> OOC - Searching them, you mean?
[20:44] <Seira> OOC: Yes
[20:44] <Kokokokokoko> OOC - Closet or office with that roll? Elaborate.
[20:44] <Seira> roll 1d2 1=closet, 2=office
[20:44] <Rei-chan> 6,0Seira rolled :6,0 1d2 1,01=closet, 2=office --> 6,0[ 1d2=2 ]4,0{2}
[20:44] <Seira> roll 1d20+11 closet
[20:44] <Rei-chan> 6,0Seira rolled :6,0 1d20+11 1,0closet --> 6,0[ 1d20=19 ]4,0{30}
[20:45] <Demedais> roll 1d20+1 I am Seira's assistbastard?
[20:45] <Rei-chan> 6,0Demedais rolled :6,0 1d20+1 1,0I am Seira's assistbastard? --> 6,0[ 1d20=18 ]4,0{19}
[20:45] <Seira> OOC: 30/30, I'm good with that
[20:46] <Kokokokokoko> The closet doesn't have much of use unless you want ancient torture and binding tools. The office does have several books, however. Most of them were one well written tomes, but insane babbles has been written over them. However, in a drawer, you find a mostly intact book. It appears to be in gnomish.
[20:46] * Seira will read it later. For now, it goes into her backpack! And now, she's ready to proceed through the main door.
[20:48] <Kokokokokoko> The main door is not locked on a glance. It opens smoothly, revealing a vast room. Here a great, huge five pointed star is aligned, with a fourty foot wide circular center. Lights of every color glow here, a beautiful, radiant place.
[20:49] * Seira decides to enter, looking everywhere for traces of magic both friendly and malicious.
[20:50] * Alicia likewise looks around, though is dubious of her ability to actually identify the specifics of any magic she locates.
[20:50] * Demedais follows Seira in, Detect Chaos being used to try and sense any residual effects of whatever this room's about.
[20:51] <Alicia> roll 2#1d20+7 spellcraft why not
[20:51] <Rei-chan> 6,0Alicia rolled :6,0 2#1d20+7 1,0spellcraft why not --> 6,0[ 1d20=14 ]4,0{21}, 6,0[ 1d20=12 ]4,0{19}
[20:51] <Seira> roll 1d20+21 overwhelming

[20:51] <Seira> roll 1d20+21 strong
[20:51] <Rei-chan> 6,0Seira rolled :6,0 1d20+21 1,0strong --> 6,0[ 1d20=5 ]4,0{26}
[20:51] <Demedais> "Please hold, we have dominating chaos in the room and it's not Seira's fault." Demedais says, stopping and looking around far more carefully.
[20:52] <Seira> "Are you sure?" Seira asks, mildly offended by the suggestion.
[20:52] <Alicia> "Forget the chaos, I'm a bit more concerned by the evil feeling that makes Antenora here feel like an innocent babe," Alicia chimes in.
[20:53] <Kokokokokoko> "I'm flattered," Antenora glares at Alicia with a hint of sourness, before quickly putting on her normal, too sweet smile. As Demedais looks around, he can faintly see images flittering. Images of dozens of things, too many to pin any one down.
[20:53] <Seira> "Maybe we'll get to fight demons!" Seira suggests with some excitement.
[20:54] * Alicia returns the smile with one of her own, drawing her sword as she enters. "It's strongest at the second and fourth points of the star," she points them out.
[20:54] <Seira> Avoiding the center, she begins to circle the room, staying near the walls.
[20:54] <Demedais> "Pretty sure, yes." Demedais nods, a grin on his face that fades as Alicia speaks up. "Could this pentagram be a demon summoning circle, then? Also, is it just me or is there something in... the... what the blazes am I seeing around me?"
[20:54] <Kokokokokoko> OOC - Spot check, Demedais.
[20:55] <Demedais> roll 1d20+8 ohdear
[20:55] <Rei-chan> 6,0Demedais rolled :6,0 1d20+8 1,0ohdear --> 6,0[ 1d20=13 ]4,0{21}
[20:56] <Kokokokokoko> Seira could be at this quite a bit, the room is huge. The walls are dim compared to the great five pointed star, the colors in the center a slow, pulsating pattern.
[20:56] <Demedais> "...Hold on a moment, Seira." Demedais calls.
[20:56] * Seira holds. "What's up?" she asks him.
[20:58] * Demedais points with his sword. "This first point has angelic forces near it. The second has devils, third has... some chaotic holy being, and the fourth has demons. Or at least that's what I'm seeing. There's a fifth presence, but I can't locate that one."
[20:59] <Seira> "Hmmm." Seira thinks about this. "Wish me luck!" And with that, she proceeds towards the chaotic holy being reportedly by the third point.
[21:00] * Alicia approaches the first point but stops short, deciding to see how Seira's gambit plays out, first.
[21:01] * Demedais nods to Seira and watches the third point, blade still drawn.
[21:02] <Kokokokokoko> Antenora lingers at the fourth point, staring at it disdainfully.
[21:03] * Seira waves at the wild-looking angels as she continues to approach them steadily.
[21:04] <Kokokokokoko> Seira approaches closer!
[21:05] * Seira decides to wait until she is next to the point before trying to gain their attention. If that doesn't work, she could always wave the resort in their collective faces and see what happens.
[21:06] <Kokokokokoko> Seira approaches closer! At the very edge of the star...OOC - PM.
[21:09] <Seira> Drawing upon the focus she had gained, Seira holds out her hand, artifact dagger grasped in it, its tip lowered towards the point of the star she had reached. "If this is another trial, I'm all for getting ahead with it," she tells the mirages that seem intent on ignoring her so far. "We're here to break the seals and destroy Daa-vid once and for all, and we might as well get ahead with it."
[21:10] * Alicia glances curiously over towards Seira, wondering what she has in mind.
[21:10] <Demedais> "Are you actually talking to them or was that directed towards us?" Demedais asks.
[21:11] <Kokokokokoko> At these words, the fifth point of the star rumbles. A vibration passes through the room, the lights in the center going wild.  "Come to the center and let the Trial of Conjunction begin." The voice is disembodied, challenging.
[21:11] <Seira> "The former," Seira responds to Demedais distractedly. "And it seems like they were listening! Let's go!"
[21:12] * Seira heads for the center, blades out, even as her images follow obediently.
[21:12] <Demedais> "Conjunction?" Demedais says, vaguely humming as he enters with Seira.
[21:12] <Alicia> "If it's a trial, I might as well prepare," Alicia states, casting Enlarge Person and Mirror Image on herself before she steps onto the star and towards the centre.
[21:12] <Alicia> roll 2#1d100
[21:12] <Rei-chan> 6,0Alicia rolled :6,0 2#1d100 --> 6,0[ 1d100=7 ]4,0{7}, 6,0[ 1d100=14 ]4,0{14}

[21:12] <Rei-chan> 6,0Alicia rolled :6,0 1d4+3 --> 6,0[ 1d4=1 ]4,0{4}
[21:13] * Seira agrees with Alicia, granting herself the powers of flight.
[21:14] <Kokokokokoko> So the party steps into the circle! T he light swarm and then wink away! After they do, a voice calls, "First..the trial of law!"  The first and second points of the star glow intensely with an unearthly light! OOC - Let's pause here, it's work soon and I don't wanna start combat with 5 minutes to go.

[Corwin]

[13:41] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> The first point of the star glows! From it emerges...It's form is ruggedly handsome, like carved stone put to flesh. Grand, glorious feathered wings reach to above it's head to the tip of it's feet. It hovers in the air, it's arms dancing with eternal red-white flames. (More)
[13:45] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> From the second point, a being of frost and ice emerges. It's entire body radiates a deathly chill, great twisting horns atop it's head. A feeling of fear that contrasts the feeling of glory from the angel plummels you, in eternal battle. The two look on, impassive for long moments...OOC - Go ahead and act/react/whatever.
[13:47] <Seira> "So what exactly is the trial of law?" Seira asks curiously. "Does it mean basically hitting everything lawful thrown at us until it stops moving?"
[13:48] <Alicia> "An archon and a devil stand together against us?" Alicia asks in faint disbelief, before glancing at Antenora. "I suppose it takes all types..." she concedes, vaguely amused, before readying her own blades and standing against the archon.
[13:49] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> Antenora returns Alicia's look with a distinctly unhappy one, readying her spear as well.
[13:50] * Demedais blinks, eyeing the beings with slight trepidation. "Uh. Are they opposing us? They haven't attacked, though that may just be part of the... mmph. What is it that this test dictates?"
[13:52] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> The angel and devil's eyes drift towards each other at those various words, a look that is long and fearsome. They almost start to move towards each other, but instead focus on the party. "We have been given the duty of proving your mettle to the forces of law," The archon begins, but the devil soon interrupts. "Yes...Your soul reeks of order..." At first the devil speaks to Demedais, but is rudely interrupted once more. "And her so
[13:52] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> "And her soul radiates a fragile but strongly held ordered oath," A look to Alicia.
[13:54] * Alicia gives the archon an affronted look. "There is nothing fragile about my oaths," she returns frostily.
[13:56] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> "Is there?" The archon looks at Antenora with thinly hidden disgust. Yet strangely, so does the devil. "...hahahahahaha..." It laughs, "You foolish little devil spawn. But..." Both archon and devil reluctantly turn away, towards Seira and away from Antenora's frosty gaze. "You...you are chaos personified."
[13:56] <Seira> "Thanks!" Seira tells them happily.
[13:57] * Alicia seethes at the insult to her honour, but holds her tongue, unsure how this is going to play out...
[13:57] * Demedais eyes the devil primarily, but glances to the archon for a second before looking to Seira and chuckling. "You know, I've been saying the same thing for a while."
[13:57] <Seira> "If we have to fight, I'd much rather stab the devil in the face. Are you with me on this, Demedais?" Seira voices.
[13:59] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> "Then, what say you to the will of law?" The devil and archon both speak at once, the former taking over after that. "You stand alone amid your allies, swept up in the tempest." A cutoff, now the archon speaking, the flames around his arms gushing. "Will you now repent your ways? The only true order is the order of law. Chaos is but a weakness of the mind and spirit."
[14:00] <Seira> "I bet you'll be singing a different tune once we're standing over your broken bodies," Seira tells them with a frown, before glancing at the angel apologetically. "Most reluctantly, of course, in your case. But no less brutal."
[14:01] * Demedais eyes the extraplanar beings. "Do allow me to interrupt for a moment; while she may be the most chaotic thing I've seen in my wanderings, she understands the duties assigned to her and willingly carries them out. There is a reason one such as her is trusted pretty much completely in everything except talking with stubborn people."
[14:02] <Alicia> "Indeed, and she is also my commanding officer, so I'm afraid I won't allow you to lay a hand on her," Alicia adds in supportively.
[14:02] <Seira> "If there is a way to talk things through that doesn't involve violence, you've just been nominated spokesman, Demedais!" Seira adds to that, patting the paladin over his shoulder.
[14:03] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> OOC - Diplo check, Deme. +2 bonus since Alicia threw in some support.
[14:03] <Demedais> "I appreciate the vote of condemnation or confidence, whichever that happened to be." Demedais replies with a sidelong gaze to Seira.
[14:03] <Demedais> roll 1d20+18
[14:03] <Rei-chan> 6,0Demedais rolled :6,0 1d20+18 --> 6,0[ 1d20=13 ]4,0{31}
[14:04] <Seira> "Confidence, it's all confidence!"
[14:05] <Demedais> "Then I request assistance whenever you three feel capable of it." Demedais says casually, looking to the devil and archon.
[14:05] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> The archon looks on hard, "..hm." He seems to lightly relent, "You have good friends, creature of chaos. ANd...you are a good creature." He seems to relent, "I am to challenge you to single combat to prove your worth of law, but...my duty is not over my nature. This must not be." Slowly he turns to the devil, "Fiend...no matter what reprisal  comes to me after, I will rest in peace if I burn you away instead of drawing blood against
[14:06] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> drawing blood against those of good!"
[14:06] * Seira gives Demedais a happy grin.
[14:07] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> "Pathetic," The devil laughs derisively, turning away, "I have an interest in our wayward child there. Stand aside and I shall take her back to whence she came. Unless..." It's arms twitch, "You want to be torn apart anyway!"
[14:08] <Seira> "This is like the best outcome ever!" Seira says to that. "We still get to put a devil in its rightful place, but the forces of good recognize the worthiness of our cause!"
[14:08] * Alicia levels her sword at the gelugon. "If you think your opinions hold sway here, you are sadly mistaken. Stand down, or I will *put* you down," she replies fiercely.
[14:09] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> Flames race up the angel's arms, twisting into razor sharp swords! "I care naught for your aims. If you wish her, devil or not, I will not let you touch a hair on her head!"
[14:10] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> After a moment, "All of you...will you aid me with this creature's oblivion, like you so gratefully offer?"
[14:10] * Demedais glances to Seira, eyebrows raised a bit, before shaking his head to the devil. "While I still have my questions about Antenora, I have objections to letting something decidedly evil take something trying to change herself. I, too, will stand against you. Then again, I would anyway. So."
[14:11] <Seira> "Sure thing!" she responds to the angel. "And I won't even waste too much magic on that pathetic specimen."
[14:11] * Alicia has already made her feelings clear, and remains poised to attack upon the ice devil's response.
[14:12] <Demedais> "And yes, of course we will. We'd be going back on our word otherwise." Demedais nods.
[14:12] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> Antenora glowers at the ice devil with alook of sincere hatred, but her eye sare unusually withdrawn. "Shut up," she hisses, "The hells are torn apart, you damn fool! The Lord Zquujaj has returned in full insane wrath! I gave myself to Alicia willingly to escape that!" Her look becomes distinctly angry, "I will, however, relish sending you there. You're everything that's tearing me apart," Antenora snarls, spear at the ready! (More)
[14:13] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> The ice devil looks about, "Well...I'll relish this battle, then," HE looksonward with a chilling gaze, "I'll drag all of your souls to the HElls with me, no matter what lies you spout!" OOC - I think the dramatic conversation's abouto ver, so let's do initaitive.

[14:15] * Infinite_Ko_Loop changes topic to 'Seira=Archon>Ice Devil>Alicia>Antenora>DemeMikomikopanic!'
[14:16] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> With a cry that is like the pure call of a trumpet to battle, the archon dives towards the ice devil, bladed arms at the ready!
[14:17] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> roll 1d20+22

[14:18] * Seira leaps gracefully into the air, using her spell of flying to get over the pair and on the devil's other side. With the artifact dagger as her only weapon, she stabs experimentally at the ice devil.
[14:18] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> The flames sear the ice devil with amazing quickness, holy energy flashing as well!The single stroke cuts in like butter, dissipating achunk of the devil's flesh!

[14:25] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> OOC: Something relating to the devil. Don't worry abouti t.
[14:26] * Alicia moves to the side and darts in around the sword archon, getting to the devil's right and opening up a chance for Antenora and Demedais to flank on the other side when they get there, making a single experimental slash with her sword into the insectile devil's thorax!
[14:26] <Alicia> roll 1d20+15

[14:30] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> The charge is potent, but it is deflected by the ice devil as it weaves about! OOC - Seira and Archon.
[14:31] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> The archon, despite being slowed, attacks with a vengence! "Begone from this world!" he cries, letting loose one attack!

[14:32] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> The archon's body continues to tear apart the ice devil, doing severe damage! OOC - Seira.

[14:36] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> Despite the wave of fear, none of the heroes buckle! The devil's face shows honest surprise and a note of fear, before it tears back in with it's full wrath! It's first attack falls onto the archon!

[14:42] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> But despite all she put into it, her blow just barely misses twice! OOC - Demedais.
[14:43] <Demedais> "Oh, is the poor ice devil angry...? Tough." Demedais grunts, stepping in like a whirlwind to keep the pressure up on the devil, using one holy strike to try and carve a path for his other two blows!

[14:50] <Seira> And on that pleasant note, Seira flies up and out of reach, holding onto her ill-gotten spear securely.

[14:56] <Rei-chan> 6,0Alicia rolled :6,0 1d100 --> 6,0[ 1d100=30 ]4,0{30}
[14:57] <Alicia> Shifting her grip on her sword, Alicia briefly frees one hand to perform the necessary gestures as she prays to Mystra, the blades becoming formless and etherial before she lunges forward with a vicious overhand slash, reversing the blade and following through with a horizontal attack using the same blade!

[14:58] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> With another potent strike, Alicia wounds the devil even further! IT rocks on it's feet, it's body trying to mend and unable to do so amid all the punishment! To this, Antenora presses her attack!

[14:58] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> Another strike wounds it even further, weakening it's very body to the brink of collapse! OOC - Deme.
[14:59] <Demedais> "Don't try to cool me off, devil. I'm just getting warmed up!" Demedais grins wickedly as he steps quickly to the side opposite the archon instead, three more slashes up into the devil's armor!

[15:01] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> Demedais drives deep into the devil, wounding it yet further! With that final blow, it rocks over and falls to it's knees, downed! OOC - Free action, it's unable to act.
[15:01] * Demedais eyes the devil, before looking up to Seira and the archon. "You two okay?"
[15:01] * Seira glances down at the angel. "Would you mind stabbing it while it's down? Devils are sneaky about resisting death."
[15:02] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> "Keep it's body torn asunder whilst I recover," The archon requests, "I need yet more time to shake off it's chill."
[15:02] <Alicia> "It's regenerating, already," Alicia states in mild disgust. "Like a troll..." She doesn't need to be told twice, however, and swiftly attempts to decapitate it.
[15:02] * Seira tears the spear out of her flesh before touching down next to Demedais. "As promised, you get to keep the spear, Lagann. May you work well and gather an impressive collection."
[15:02] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> Antenora does the same, stabbing into it's guts a few times. Over and over and over, in fact, her face a twisted look of anger.
[15:03] <Demedais> "Understood." Demedais says, methodically poking its vitals while watching Antenora out of the corner of his eye.
[15:03] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> Alicia smoothly decapitates it, it's head rotting away as a new one tries to form. However, the archon quickly recovers and raises it's arms, "To whence you came, blight!" he cries, bringing both own through it's unholy chest! With that, the ice devil dissipates into nothingness!
[15:04] <Demedais> "And that ends that." Demedais grunts. "Thank you." he says simply to the archon, eyes closed in pause.
[15:05] * Alicia exhales sharply and pulls her sword back before turning towards the archon. "Thank you for the assistance - I hope it doesn't get you into trouble, however," she offers, privately thinking that any such punishment would be callously unjust.
[15:05] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> The archon's body begins to twist, a grimace on it's face. "I may not see you again, but be well. The one that punishes me cares little for but of the pact that was made..." He lowers his head, "But I will endure this with honor, for I rest with a clear heart."
[15:06] <Seira> "If they give you a hard time you can always come work for us!" Seira offers the archon. "We're fair employers, back in Balmuria!"
[15:06] <Alicia> "What is your name," Alicia asks quickly as his body starts to discorporate, inwardly resolving to one day free him if she can.
[15:08] * Demedais looks to the archon as the others speak, feeling some sympathy for it for a moment as he fishes through his bag for the healing wand. Finding it, he uses it on Seira a few times to help her recover.
[15:09] <Demedais> roll 2d8+2
[15:09] <Rei-chan> 6,0Demedais rolled :6,0 2d8+2 --> 6,0[ 2d8=15 ]4,0{17}
[15:09] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> "Eladi. Do not curse my fate, I accept it as I gave my oath to serve." As he twists into a smaller and smaller shape, "This unnatural pact between forces...let it end, and if you are the ones, assert the dominance of what is right." With a twist, the sword archon vanishes into the air.
[15:10] <Demedais> "Will do, Eladi. Will do." Demedais says softly, before turning the wand to Antenora.
[15:10] <Demedais> roll 3d8+8 on Antenora
[15:10] <Rei-chan> 6,0Demedais rolled :6,0 3d8+8 1,0on Antenora --> 6,0[ 3d8=23 ]4,0{31}
[15:10] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> As Demedais heals Seira, the lights in the center of the room begin to twist and whirl rapidly! As the Erinyes' wounds heal, the voice sounds, "Now let there be the Trial of Good!"
[15:10] * Alicia nods grimly, sweeping her sword to the side. "I care little for this test," she declares, looking around. "What mockery of justice must we endure, next?"
[15:11] <Demedais> "Apparently a holy one." Demedais grunts, finally using the wand on himself.
[15:11] <Seira> "There's no need to be rude now that we know fighting may be avoided for the most part," Seira reminds them.
[15:12] <Demedais> "Well, yes, but still, I don't think this sort of 'test' sits well with any of us." Demedais says. "Let's do what we can involving the beings in this, alright?"
[15:13] <Demedais> roll 1d8+18 (17 LoH)

[15:14] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> From the third point, two blue marbled skinned angels appear. They have wings of fire, scimitars of flame flashing in hand. From the first point comes a regal figure in armor, with eyes that fill your hearts with warmth. They look on moments, "We are here to test your on the matters of good," The regal figure speaks, looking over. It's gaze seems to relent quickly, however. "A paladin, a creature of good, and a paladin of law that i
[15:14] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> and a paladin of law that is not of the darkness." After those words, the two flaming creatures look on, "...Little reason to test, thank the light." one observes.
[15:15] <Seira> "Stop calling me a creature, please, it's rude," Seira requests firmly. "I have a name, and it's Seira. Use that instead, if you must."
[15:16] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> "As you wish, Seira." The regal figure advances, looking on at Alicia and Demedais. "Paladins. I yet have reasons to speak to both of you."
[15:16] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> Antenora hangs back, glancing at the various figures and keeping quiet.
[15:17] * Alicia nods, relaxing a fair bit that these wardens appear reasonable. "My name is Alicia Reynes. I will hear you," she affirms.
[15:17] <Demedais> "Or aspirant dragon. She doesn't object to that either, unless I'm mistaken." Demedais says, smiling to Seira. "Or do you prefer just 'dragon'?" With the regal figure's statement, however, he turns to the being. "I am Demedais. Speak your mind, please."
[15:17] * Seira is pleased enough at that, and lets the paladins handle this, as the angels seem more taken with them.
[15:18] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> "First Alicia." Eyeing her, with a look that dispels anxiety and fear, replacing it with warmth, "By your own words this day, the Erinyes is your charge?"
[15:20] <Alicia> "She is," Alicia nods without hesitation. "No matter her origins, she is an intelligent and reasoning being, capable of making rational decisions. I have hope in her potential."
[15:21] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> Antenora looks on at the figure with unhidden disdain. However, she smiles back at Antenora. "Rare, rare, rare at the times an angel or devil changes. May I speak with her alone for a time? I promise her no harm."
[15:23] * Demedais idly waves to the two blueskinned angels fairly cheerfully, content to have a break from arguments for now.
[15:24] <Alicia> "I'll trust you in this regard, but the decision is hers. Antenora?" Alicia looks towards the fiend. "It's an opportunity to learn, if nothing else."
[15:24] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> The two eye Demedais with a mixo f interest and amusement, "You reek of order," one wrinkles her nose, "Not quite our type." Her voice is not harsh, hwoever.
[15:25] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> Antenora locks her eyes with the regal figure, starting to speak. She cuts off warily, eyeing here. There is a long pause, before the two wordlessly spend a long time looking at each other. "...it is done," the regal figure notes, as Antenora looks away with a flush of irritation.
[15:26] * Alicia raises an eyebrow but doesn't pry.
[15:27] * Demedais shrugs. "I serve Helm. That's part of the deal, I expect."
[15:27] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> Turning to Demedais, the figure offers a hand to him. "Demedais, your heart is of order. Yet you take sacred orders not far removed from holy purity. Helm does not reject those of good and law; I feel that good could blossom within your heart."
[15:30] <Demedais> "In some ways, it does." Demedais says, inclining his head. "Yet I am sworn to follow Helm's will directly; such acts may conflict with that at times, since such a road is not always virtuous or honorable. Whatever is my duty granted to me, I must and will fulfill it. As much as I am honored..." Demedais says, hesitant at this, "Duty, to me, must come above all else. Thank you, though."
[15:31] * Alicia is rather surprised at this development, since she'd always taken Demedais to be a rather good and righteous soul. Still, she refrains from interrupting.
[15:32] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> "Very well. We have seen your hearts and your previous battle. There is no need for a battle this day." The regal figure begins to vanish, "Be well, allof you."
[15:33] <Alicia> "That went rather well," Alicia seems quite pleased after the celestials vanish, though she does frown a bit as she considers what the next two tests are likely to entail. "The next ones might not be so easy."
[15:33] <Demedais> "And you." Demedais says to the lawful one, before looking to the pair of angels.
[15:34] <Seira> "There's a scroll of haste for that," Seira mutters, resolving to keep it close as she grasps both her weapons once more.
[15:34] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> The pair seems to linger, not vanishing. "I think we're going to be part of the next test, then," One of them comments. "Chaos is next, then?"
[15:35] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> The disembodied voice seems to agree, "Now let there be a Trial of Chaos," it instructs; the fourth point of the star glowing!
[15:35] <Seira> "Hey, you don't have to force yourselves," Seira tells the angelic pair. "I'm in command, right? If you approve of me, it should be all goood."
[15:37] <Alicia> "Would that the tana'ri would be so reasonable," Alicia notes dubiously, looking towards the now glowing point of the star.
[15:37] * Demedais turns to the fourth point, sword ready. "Indeed. Given the choice, I'd rather not fight angels of good, thanks."
[15:37] <Seira> "Feel free to actually help us stab the demons in the face," Seira offers. "It's the chance of a lifetime!"
[15:38] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> "We're only half the issue..." The two turn to look at the fourth point. From it a slight, slender demon emerges. It is a female demon, beautiful and breattaking. She wears black silks, batlike wings coming from her back. With her come two others, holding greatswords at the ready. The one in silks speaks, "Aaaaaaah. Is it a fight you want, you disgusting little creatures?"
[15:39] <Seira> "Succubus, right?" Seira voices. "I think she's overdressed."
[15:40] * Alicia has to bite her tongue to keep from commenting on the resemblance to a certain other fiend present.
[15:40] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> "Shut up, you ugly human bitch," The lead waves a dismissing hand at Seira, "Blah blah blah, tests. Like we care after all this time. Fuck this, I'll settle for seeing your fleshes ripped open. Unless you'd rather give us your souls? You'll have an unbelievable time until you wither up."
[15:41] <Seira> "Hey, who are you calling ugly, demon hag?" Seira snaps back at her.
[15:41] <Alicia> "I think we're done talking," Alicia states flatly, levelling her sword at the demons.
[15:41] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> "You." Turning to Seira, "You're a freak of nature, even for a human...or elf...or whatever you are. I've seen prettier piles of demon shit."
[15:42] * Demedais raises an eyebrow at the demon, and then at Seira, before looking to the angels in disbelief. "You're supposed to be working with them? How's that supposed to pan out?
[15:42] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> Her two succumbi guards ready their blades, a look of feral disinterest. "It's not our choice," One of the flaming angels sighs, "We don't wnat to interfere openly, since we'll be punished. I don't think they care about that, though."
[15:43] <Seira> "Eventually I would eat the losers that try to taunt me, but for now, eldritch magicks would have to suffice," Seira says coldly, withdrawing her scroll of Haste and activating it. "Let's kill her twice the speed."
[15:44] <Demedais> "I've no doubt at this rate they'll aim for you as well." Demedais says, looking at them. "They seem bent solely on killing anything in range."
[15:44] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> The two angels consider, before sighing. "Well, we certainly don't want to let themw in..." they consider, as the battle begins! OOC - Let's do initiative here.

[15:51] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> The stab is good, but the robed figure is just able to resist it, it's skin narrowly tough enough to stop it cold! In response, the second warrior succubus turns and hacks at Seira full out! "Oh yeah? You're gonna regret this!"

[16:09] <Seira> "So it's true," Seira comments casually. "Those that can, fight. Those that can't, summon."

[16:34] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> With a divine fury, Demedais rends the vrock into several parts with a series of slashes! IT crumbles apart heat to toe, rent into death! OOC - Battle's over.
[16:35] <Seira> "I'm glad you made the right call when it counted!" Seira thanks the angels.
[16:35] * Demedais turns to the angels. "Thank you for your assistance. I hope it does not get you into too much trouble.
[16:36] * Alicia also nods gratefully to them. "Since you didn't directly attack your counterparts, hopefully you'll be okay."
[16:36] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> "We did what was right?" One calls, "Regardless, good luck ahead." The two begin to vanish, fading. So they are gone, the colors in the center of the star beginning to swirl once more.
[16:38] * Demedais idly stands near Alicia and Seira. "Should we try to trick the two sides into fighting each other? If so, Seira, you're the best at goading, I think."
[16:38] <Seira> "I'm thinking, Haste for our evil friends?" Seira suggests. "But goading can work, too."
[16:38] <Alicia> "We'll see..." Alicia states dubiously, preparing for the worst.
[16:39] <Demedais> "Well, yes, Haste will help, too. My boots are running out." Demedais nods.
[16:39] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> "Let the Trial of Evil begin...!" The voice calls, as the second and fourth points of the stars begin to glow!
[16:40] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> From the second comes a tall, horrific figure made of bone. To Alicia and Seira, it brings back memories of the forest and desperate battles. A bone devil followed by another, a shifting, momentary shape following at their side. (More)
[16:44] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> From the last point comes a horrible creature the entireparty knows. A spider queen, a Bebilith! What follows it is a humanoid man, with ugly red skin and penetrating violet eyes. He carries no weapon, deep russet eyes and nearly 15 feet tall. HIs form is strangely mammoth, hands twisted into crab's pincers!
[16:46] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> With a booming, rattling laugh, one of the bone devils speak. "The trial of evil, eh?" He asks, "Disgusting, pathetic mortal creatures. Ready to turn down the sweetest offer even until their dying breath?"
[16:46] <Seira> "So, like, which of you gets the honor of killing us, and who is the runner up?" Seira asks casually. "I kinda want to know before I die my gruesome, painful death."
[16:47] * Demedais eyes Seira, but refrains from speaking for now.
[16:49] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> The demons look on, tothe party members at to the devils. "I wonder..." The russet eyed one observes, "You are doomed. Bow to us and be spared, Seira. Your nature is not so far removed from our own."
[16:49] <Alicia> "It's not a very sweet offer if it costs the soul, is it?" Alicia asks, inwardly wincing at how overpowered this group of fiends is compared to the groups for the other tests. Evil is, by its very nature, so very unfair.
[16:49] <Seira> "Is that an offer to kill the devils along with us?" Seira asks it.
[16:50] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> The devils look on as well, "Demons? They are ours," The bone devil asserts, "I claim the soul of Alicia and reclaim the Erinyes in rebellion."
[16:52] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> The demons step forward, "We claim all of them," The speaking one says imperiously, "They are ours!"
[16:52] * Alicia decides to take some inspiration. "Bartering with your sworn enemies for the souls of mortals?" she goads the devils. "What would your superiors think if they saw you behaving so civilly with your sworn enemies? Or does whatever holds you here have precedence over the Blood War?"
[16:52] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> OOC - Bluff check.

[16:54] <Seira> "What he said," Seira adds, nodding. "If we had to side with one party, it would totally be the demons. We actually know devils, they invade us from time to time and are so inept we end up killing them en masse or reeducating them. Who would want to work with them?"
[16:54] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> OOC - Er, strike, that wasm eant to be a d20.

[16:56] <Demedais> "I still don't get in general why they'd put such willfully destructive beings at odds with ones who can actually keep their word from time to time." Demedais says with a frown. "How could they even imagine your two groups could work together?"
[16:57] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> The two sides stare, "Bemoaning your fate?" The devil asks with derision, while the demon laughs. "I care little, only that the devils fail. This duty is boring."
[16:57] <Seira> "Wouldn't it be hilarious if the only combination capable of working together was devils and demons?" Seira asks Demedais, seemingly ignoring their enemies. "With the rumor mill being as it is in Hell, they'd be laughing stock for ages."
[17:00] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> Antenora turns to the devils. With a silken smile, "You're pathetic. You're dickering with us over the fate, acting like children afraid. No wonder you lose the Blood War! Go on, get them. Is there anything more filthy than this?No wonder I wish to become good!"
[17:01] <Demedais> "Indeed." Demedais snorts. "Next thing you know they'll be dancing through flowerbeds together, at this rate." A shake of the head. "Honestly never thought I'd see the day they were working together. Admittedly, I know little of the Blood War; perhaps they all chickened out after that. Mind elaborating for me, Alicia?" he says with a slight grin to her.

[17:10] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> The Bebelith skitters forward, exposing it's underside! From here a great mass of webbing comes forth, landing all over Seira!

[17:11] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> The webbing somehow misses, splattering safely on the ground! OOC - Alicia and the Glabrezu are up.
[17:12] <Alicia> OOC: I'll let the Glabrezu go first
[17:13] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> The Glabrezu lightly comes forward, extending his hand out! From him, a great magical hammer of chaos comes forth! OOC - Seira is not effected, but Alicia and Antenora and Deme need to make will saves, as does the bone devil.
[17:13] <Alicia> roll 1d20+14

[17:17] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> The hammer fizzles against Seira, then fails to effect the devils in range! However, Demedais and Alicia are hit, Deme hard enough to enchant him with slowing magics!
[17:18] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> "Pathetic!" The bone devil roars, "Your magic is feeble! It rolls off like blood!"
[17:19] <Alicia> "Yes, you tell him," Alicia mutters, ducking away out of range and then weaving around the Bebileth's legs and finally ducking around behind the Glabrezu, using its huge bulk as cover against the rest of the melee.

[17:20] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> "All in goodtime," The glabrezu smiles darkly, glancing at Alicia as she tumbles back!
[17:22] * Seira decides to focus on the Bebilith as an appreciation for its attack on her. The powers of flight allow her to settle into a good position Demedais might be able to exploit later on, and she stabs cheerfully with the dagger at the demon.
[17:23] <Seira> roll 1d20+10

[17:25] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> Seira quickly lets her resort do the talking, directly stabbing the Bebelith in the underbelly! Meanwhile, Antenora takes to the air as well, flying away and towards the chaotic creatures! She lands safely behind Alicia, preparing her spear for the next round! The second bone devil takes this chance, charging ahead to the fray, lashing out at the closest target as it runs - Demedais!

[17:37] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> Demedais activates the power of his boots, stepping out of range of the bone devil and falling back to the sides! The first bone devil continues it's run forward, but this time it's preferred target is the Bebelith, tearinginto it!

[17:44] <Alicia> "Antenora, you might want to back off, for now," Alicia suggests, content to maintain a guarded pose for the moment while the mini Blood War escalates. "You have the most maneuvrability, so use it."
[17:44] <Alicia> OOC: total defence, +6 dodge bonus to AC
[17:44] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> OOC - Okay. Seira.

[18:40] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> The two are battered by it, Antenora blasted back hard! Her movements are slowed, body battered badly!

[18:41] * Alicia is unbowed by the onslaught, her swords flashing out in a misty arc to rend apart the vision of the Glabrezu she recognises as the genuine one before they get muddled up again!

[18:43] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> With that flurry, the glabrezu collapses,it's form breaking apart into nothing! OOC - Since you guys can't see beyond th wall, free action for the moment.
[18:43] * Seira stabs the glabrezu a bit, before flying up enough to glance over the wall.
[18:43] * Alicia glares balefully towards the wall of boiling water. "I hope they tear each other apart, in there."
[18:43] <Demedais> "Ngh." Demedais says, barely on his feet. "Heal now while the wall stands."
[18:44] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> Antenora breathes out heavily, "Bastard creature," she snarls in disdain, "Worthless, pathetic little beast."
[18:44] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> Seira looks over the wall! The bebelith has just fallen, a bone devil collapsed as well. However, one remains, only lightly wounded.
[18:45] * Alicia takes out her wand and bestows some healing on Antenora. "I hope that's it, but we can't be sure there's no more tests..."
[18:45] <Alicia> roll 1d8+1
[18:45] <Rei-chan> 6,0Alicia rolled :6,0 1d8+1 --> 6,0[ 1d8=5 ]4,0{6}
[18:46] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> The healing soothes Antenora's wounds, "I want to go home," she grates, voice angry and very tired. "I grow tired of this accursed dungeon by the second."
[18:46] * Seira decides to test her luck against this devil, launching an attack on it from behind!
[18:48] <Seira> roll 1d20+18
[18:48] <Rei-chan> 6,0Seira rolled :6,0 1d20+18 --> 6,0[ 1d20=9 ]4,0{27}
[18:48] <Alicia> "Soon," Alicia soothes as she uses another charge from the wand on the beleagured Erinyes, feeling some warmth at the thought that she likely does not mean Cania when she speaks of home. "We're nearly done, here."
[18:48] <Alicia> roll 1d8+1
[18:48] <Rei-chan> 6,0Alicia rolled :6,0 1d8+1 --> 6,0[ 1d8=8 ]4,0{9}

[18:49] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> As Seira approaches, the bone devil turns! OOC - Makea normal attack, then.
[18:50] * Seira decides to stop away from the devil, inviting it to attack her, instead.
[18:50] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> As the wall of boiling water's concentration needed survival fades, the bone devil charges with a bloodthirsty cry!
[18:50] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> roll 1d20+16 bite

[18:50] <Rei-chan> 6,0Infinite_Ko_Loop rolled :6,0 1d6 --> 6,0[ 1d6=5 ]4,0{5}
[18:51] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> Only an image is dispelled, however! Meanwhile, "Yeah, soon..." Antenora says tiredly, a growl in her throat.
[18:51] * Seira calls upon the power of the spiral as she retaliates!
[18:52] <Seira> roll 1d20+21 arcane strike
[18:52] <Rei-chan> 6,0Seira rolled :6,0 1d20+21 1,0arcane strike --> 6,0[ 1d20=2 ]4,0{23}

[18:52] <Demedais> "Agreed. Once this is over, returning home is definitely our wisest move." Demedais nods to Antenora, still shaken. Tiredly, he uses the rest of the shots of his wand to regather strength...
[18:52] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> OOC - Second hits.
[18:52] <Seira> roll 1d4+13+2d4+2d6+2d6
[18:52] <Rei-chan> 6,0Seira rolled :6,0 1d4+13+2d4+2d6+2d6 --> 6,0[ 1d4=3 2d4=7 2d6=8 2d6=10 ]4,0{41}
[18:53] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> The strike is enough, the injured bone devil collapsing!
[18:53] * Seira stabs it again, as is her custom!
[18:53] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> AT that, the colors in the center of the ring swirl! This time, the fifth point of the star begins to glow radiant!
[18:54] <Demedais> roll 4d8+4 oh dear.
[18:54] <Rei-chan> 6,0Demedais rolled :6,0 4d8+4 1,0oh dear. --> 6,0[ 4d8=17 ]4,0{21}
[18:54] * Alicia is somewhat weary, and hopes this heralds a conclusion and not a final test. Nonetheless, she prepares for the worst, readying herself for battle.
[18:54] * Seira takes to the air to better observe the proceedings!
[18:54] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> Forming from the colors is a green pool, awaiting the party! As it does, the star glows once more and fades into nothingness! The roomf alls into complete darkness, save fora gentle green glow from the pool.
[18:55] <Alicia> Relaxing, Alicia slowly approaches the pool. "A teleport pool?" she hazards, unsure if they should risk pressing on.
[18:55] * Seira floats over to Alicia to heal her up, before diving into the pool!
[18:55] <Seira> roll 2d8+9
[18:55] <Rei-chan> 6,0Seira rolled :6,0 2d8+9 --> 6,0[ 2d8=3 ]4,0{12}
[18:56] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> Seira touches the pool and vanishes!
[18:56] <Alicia> "I hope we're near the end of this," Alicia declares, sweeping a hand through the liquid.
[18:56] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> Alicia touches the pool and vanishes! A moment later, Antenora follows suit!
[18:57] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> Demedais does the same, then...
[18:58] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> The party appears in a large room, just in front of a pool. Here,in the center...you've found it. Around murals of the Godsin all their fearsome glory, lies a simple stone pedestool, with an imprint awaiting you. As you appear, the Third REsort in Seira's hand begins to glow, like a rainbow of throbbing, pulsing color.
[18:58] <Alicia> "Well, do the honours, Captain," Alicia gestures towards the pedestal.
[19:00] * Seira nods curtly. "I'll try to expedite the acquisition of the next resort for your use," she promises Alicia, and approaches the pedestal with the dagger.
[19:00] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> The air in the room throbs as Seira comes closer, the pedestool having a dagger shaped imprint awaiting. The air is hard to breathe, electric with power and vitality.
[19:01] * Seira sets it down into the imprint, eager to end yet another seal standing between herself and her goal!
[19:03] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> With a soft click the Resort settles in! With that, the color drains from the world. The life is gone, flowing from everything into this one very point! A perfect frozenness, yet lacking chill. Everything in the world put Seira, put into colorless stasis. For long moments she remains there, mind screaming - but then it all melts. Melting into nothing, melting away like snow under the summer sun.
[19:04] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> *but Seira.
[19:04] * Seira can't help but be at awe of this level of magic, as of yet out of her reach.
[19:06] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> In this blackness, a void without stars, without being, a perfect emptiness, Seira hurtles. Hurtles without speed, without movement, yet moving faster than her spirit and senses can feel. To a place, a ring around her. A ring of grand thrones, with three straight ahead of her. The three thrones surround the grandest of thema ll, but it is not there her eyes are drawn. Instead, she is drawn to all the figures around. Celestial and in
[19:07] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> Celestial and infernal, horrible and beautiful, a range that makes her mind tear itself apart in simple imcomprehension. Yet as it does, she feels a touch, restoring, preventing. Of this number, one speaks. "I speak for her," A proud, strong woman's voice declares. (More)
[19:09] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> OOC - STrike, minor error.
[19:10] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> Celestial and infernal, horrible and beautiful, a range that makes her mind tear itself apart in simple imcomprehension. Yet as it does, she feels a touch, restoring, preventing. Of this number, one speaks. "I speak for her," A proud, strong woman's voice declares. This voice comes from one of the three thrones, her attention brought forward again. (More)
[19:11] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> She wears the finest dress and brocade, a crimson cloak over her shoulders, as rich as a mantle of pure silk, yet with an incredible sheen. Her hair is tied back into a bun, but yet her eyes - eyes of gold, eyes that penetrate you. "You've come, Seira," the woman speaks, a deep feeling of awe pervading. "The second seal is no more."
[19:13] <Seira> "All this time I've been trying to talk to you, like this, struggling...." Seira snorts to herself. "And all I had to do was break one of the seals for the priceless opportunity. Had I known I'd have been here sooner!"
[19:14] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> "Our hand has been largely stayed from the world. Many a time we hear devout prayers, but..." The woman simply turns her head aside, "You have done well. You are not a priest nor a paladin, but you have kept a faith and done my works, even when you feel the strongest doubts."
[19:15] * Seira beams at the praise. "You know of my plans. Do you approve of them? Of me?"
[19:16] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> "You've brought riches to your town, helped it grow. You've brought a trade the elves deny, and bring another soon." Waukeen's voice does show praise, "Further, you participate in events that shake and alter the world. But..." Waukeen looks on, "Your soul is in chains."
[19:17] * Seira blinks. "It is? How so?"
[19:18] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> "The destiny you've set in motion for yourself, embracing a draconic heritage, drives you inexorably towards a fated, impossible end. As you embrace the dragon's power, you are so tighter embraced by this fate."
[19:22] <Seira> Seira frowns at that. "When it comes to that... you know the saying, go beyond the impossible and kick reason to the curb? That's what I'll do when I meet this fated end!" As Seira's smugness fades, however, she continues more hesitantly, "I was serious earlier, about becoming your avatar and serving your interests in our world. Things like that happened in the past, so why not again? I would still like to give it a try. If I suit you, th
[19:22] <Seira> at is."
[19:27] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> "Become my champion? A priest? A paladin? A favored warrior?" Waukeen looks on at Seira, "As the seals are broken, we become closer to the world once more. Perhaps one day soon avatars of the Gods will walk your world. But..." Waukeen looks on, "To become a true avatar, you become an extension of myself. Such binds you to my service for eternity, leaving behind your mortal life. But the power needed, even so..." A shake of Waukeen's
[19:28] <Infinite_Ko_Loop>  A shake of Waukeen's head. "You are mighty, but only the mightiest mortals of the past could withstand that. Seira, I am proud of you, but you have a fate looming over you as well as your own life. I shall offer you a boon; if that is your wish, so make it. Your father has served me well as a priest; that path is not for you. But there are others if that is your true desire. But think on this well."
[19:33] <Seira> "Once we've taken down this so-called God King for good, my job in Balmuria and the mortal world at large is done," Seira responds to her goddess. "If I'll have at least that much time to put everything at order, that's all I'll ever need. You know I don't follow you blindly, but because I agree with your ideals and outlook, so serving you would be quite satisfying. That's all there is about it." She smiles crookedly. "You could always fi
[19:33] <Seira> re me if I fail to meet your expectations."
[19:36] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> "Then...in the meantime, there is a task that must be done." Waukeen approaches, her hand coming to your head. IN a moment of profound peace her words flow into your soul. "In a vision in this place, you saw an endless river of lava and red dragons. You must find this place before that time, and resolve your fate. When the God King is defeated, you shall be able to once again find this place, faded from the dull, remote world before
[19:37] <Infinite_Ko_Loop>  remote world before, only then to return fully. The battles there and getting there...when you reach that point, you will be worthy and be free. With my blessing, you shall have a chance to escape your fate." (More)
[19:39] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> With that touch, the world reassembles. Your friends stand there, a feelingo f vast energy exiting out of the room. The Third Resort awaits,it's color returned to normal now.
[19:40] * Seira takes it back, after glancing at the spot Waukeen appeared at for several long moments. "Well, that's two seals down."
[19:40] <Alicia> "Find what you expected?" Alicia asks after the momentary disorientation, assuming she underwent a similar experience as Demedais had yesterday.
[19:41] <Seira> "Waukeen was finally able to respond to me," Seira tells Alicia. "It was very nice."
[19:43] <Alicia> "I'm happy for you," Alicia smiles, not pressing. "So, shall we go?"
[19:45] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> OOC - Returning to town now?
[19:45] <Alicia> OOC: I'm for that
[19:46] <Seira> OOC: I'll grab the unholy weapons to sell in town if we can handwave that
[19:47] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> OOC: Okay.
[19:47] <Demedais> OOC: I'm game for that.
[19:49] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> The trip out is without incident. Ajan is fairly subdued this time, the partyp assing by. On reaching outside, youfind a contingent of guards waiting. "Sirs," they salute as you stagger outo f the ruins, "You're needed in Balmuria right away."
[19:50] <Alicia> "Oh, no..." Alicia grimaces. "What happened?"
[19:50] <Seira> "Is it good news?" Seira adds.
[19:52] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> "There was a disturbance yesterday, and there's been another today." One of the guards reports, "Reportso f creatures seen in the skies, spontaneous healings, feats of magic and other such things." The leader reports.
[19:54] <Seira> "That's because we're steadily breaking the barriers between us and the divine," Seira states matter-of-factly. "Nothing to worry about."
[19:54] <Alicia> "It could be, depending on who's performing the feats of magic and what's flying in the skies," Alicia retorts. "Anyway, we'd better hurry back."
[19:55] * Seira can agree with that.
[19:56] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> The party so hurries back. They enter through the western gate - not far inside, a burly man is preaching to a small crowd. "...touched! The Lord Gond speaks to me, and here I shall build a place for him!" The middle aged, burly man so calls. The soldiers glance, one turning, "There's been a few of those, sirs."
[19:57] <Alicia> "Well, a temple to Gond might be nice...?" Alicia hazards. "They're good at building things, right?"
[19:57] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> Antenora glances at him, but seems content to stay quiet.
[19:57] <Seira> "Be sure to acquire the proper permits, first!" Seira calls to the man in passing.
[19:58] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> "Uh, I think so? Wasn't very good at theology, ma'am," One of the guards answer as you hurry along. Seira's call gets a look, but he seems too far gone in preaching. To the garrison, whisked into a room with Commander Oberuth. Here he waits, looking rather the worse for wear. "Sit down," he gestures, "You've been up to something, or is this just random luck?"
[19:59] * Demedais (Chiyos@58.194.238.102) Quit (Operation timed out)
[20:00] * Demedais (Chiyos@58.194.238.102) has joined #dunes
[20:00] * Seira smiles brightly. "We elmiminated two of the seals, Sir, and the gods finally took not just notice but direct action, at last!"
[20:00] <Alicia> "We killed a dragon and a small horde of demons and devils, as well as an undead gnome. We also unlocked two of the seals holding in Daa-vid, which is also starting to lower the walls keeping the Gods and magic from the world," Alicia explains. "I honestly didn't think it would be so drastically abrupt..." she adds, sounding vaguely startled.
[20:01] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> Commander Oberuth waves his hand once you sit, "It has been. Each...pulse? Wave? Whatever it is, each one has stirred up things." (More)
[20:04] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> "Let's see. First off, the temples. They virtually went insane. Clerics had religious visions, miracles and magic happened and touchd people flocked to them. Peaceful enough, not to mention people claiming spontaneous divine magic." A pause after that, a paper picked up. "A paladin of Torm is in town, and collapses in the streets in a long, euphoric vision. He's still half dazed, but he mentioned Alicia and Demedais and the guard."
[20:04] <Infinite_Ko_Loop>  A look to the both of them, "A man's claiming Gond spoke to him, another Mystra and is starting to cast clerical magic, one for Waukeen, another for LAthander..." A long, drawn out sigh. "However, it also gets worse."
[20:05] * Alicia smiles at the mention of someone else being blessed by Mystra, resolving to seek out the lucky kindred spirit.
[20:06] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> "First off,a man went...insane. He claimed the great lord Bane had spoken to him, before he regained his senses. However..." A disgusted look of his head, "His position was public, and he wrought literally fear into them with a look. A lucky guardsman was there and had one of our better donated weapons, and was able to dispatch him before he cast more magic or whatever the HElls that was." (More)
[20:07] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> "There was a stirring of a few zombies in the graveyards and a man behind it, but we didn't get a look before he ran. THe undead weren't overly capable, and we were able to overwhelm them with focused numbers." After that,a breath out, "That's mosto f the bad. More relative good than bad, butthe city'son fire."
[20:07] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> After a pause, "Figurately speaking."
[20:08] * Seira has half-turned to check, at his words.
[20:08] * Sierra_Frozen is now known as Sierra_Thawing
[20:08] <Seira> "This just means more people to train!" she says happily.
[20:09] <Alicia> "We need to find those who have been touched by magic and the divine and help them," Alicia declares. "If we can aid them in learning about their gifts, as the temple of Mystra once did for me, we'll have potent allies against those like the would be necromancer and the one touched by Bane."
[20:09] <Seira> "Plus even the more difficult tasks would become mundane, then."
[20:11] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> "Further, there were other reports. There were sightings of golden creatures flying the skies briefly, of a unicorn near the unincoporated houses outside the gates, that sort of thing. By all reports, you've opened one hell of a box. "
[20:12] <Alicia> "Well, the unicorn was here a bit before," Alicia acknowledges. "But what sort of flying creatures?"
[20:12] <Seira> "Was it a male unicorn?" Seira asks with interest. "Our friend would like to meet him."

[20:21] <Kotono> "I'm not sure," With a slightly odd look at Seira, "I don't think checking was on anyone's mind."
[20:22] <Kotono> After a pause there, "Winged, golden creatures. Certainly not devils, at least."
[20:22] <Seira> "Well, we freed her from millennia-long imprisonment and she gave us a nice bow as a present, so it only seemed fair to return the favor."
[20:23] <Kotono> "Sir? SIR?" A guard comes running in with a speedy haste, not even knocking. "There's a problem, sir!"
