240. The Dark Six

[Corwin]

[19:15] <Kotono> --
[19:16] <Kotono> After resting up, Alicia prepares to teleport to the Galkass mountains...OOC: Going along or...? Either way, roll TP and destination?
[19:17] <Alicia> OOC: I'll take Anty along
[19:17] <Alicia> roll 1d100 studied carefully, portal to earth
06[19:17] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d100 studied carefully, portal to earth and gets 54." [1d100=54]
[19:19] <Kotono> Woosh! The portal to earth is as you remember it. Several human and larger sized earth elementals are about here, working the walls of the cave. They seem to be inscriping glyphs and adding carvings.
[19:19] <Alicia> "Greetings," Alicia speaks up in Terran as soon as they arrive. "Is your leader present?"
[19:26] <Kotono> One comes and speaks to Alicia in kind, the size of a boulder, "He is. You are in good standing with him. Come."
[19:27] <Alicia> "Lead on," Alicia nods, doing her best to mask her tiredness. Things look peaceful here, but she might as well relay the information across so they're forewarned if trouble does land on their doorstep.
[19:30] <Kotono> Antenora says close, smothering her own yawn with a flicker of her face muscles. You are taken to their leader, sitting on a throne of stone. It speaks naught when the two are in his presence, but looks to them instead.
[19:32] <Alicia> "Greetings," Alicia ducks her head respectfully. "We come with a warning - numerous cities on the surface have been attacked by fierce burrowing monsters and undead. We believe the ones responsible are also the ones who first built the portal you use, so it's possible they may have an interest in your domain as well."
[19:33] <Kotono> "We thank you for this information," It's words are slow, dragging like stones tumbling down a hill. "Our realm has been peaceful in this time. We will be vigliant and have been, since the sign of the Black Rock Triskelion."
[19:37] <Alicia> Well, this hasn't been terribly productive, but it's still a nice neighbourly thing to do. Alicia decides to satisfy her curiousity on one point before departing, however, "I'm glad to hear that. I won't take much more of your time, then, but have you had any success in locating the ley line near here?"
[19:39] <Kotono> "We come closer," he speaks, "The inevitability of it's discovery is certain."
06[19:42] * Alicia nods. "Would that I had the time to assist you, but matters on the surface continue to demand my attention. Until next time," she bows, backing away from the throne and intending to teleport once outside of the chamber since it's a bit more polite.
[19:43] <Kotono> Once outside of the chamber, Antenora yawns vastly and stretches. "Damnable magic of Death. I feel like I could sleep for a month, but the same ideas keep going around and around in my head."
[19:46] <Alicia> "The problem is that most of our leads are hard to access - tracking a slaad across three planes or seeking out the Prince of evil earth elementals are hardly minor undertakings, and would leave us overstretched if something does occur back home," Alicia agrees tiredly. "Lets go home, anyway - if no other crisises occur today we can make a fresh start in the morning."
[19:46] <Alicia> roll 1d100 home
06[19:46] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d100 home and gets 2." [1d100=2]
[19:47] <Kotono> "After sleep...we can work harder tomorrow,' Antenora agrees, the two vanishing! OOC: Let me pause you for a few hanging on #evil.

[20:25] <Kotono> ----
[20:25] <Kotono> Finding Alicia on returning home is simple. She's resting at home from the last few days, her portable hole on hand. OOC: It's your ball with the lantern, Seira, go ahead.
01[20:28] <Seira> After borrowing a scroll of the Identify spell from Elle's shop and asking Gilartal for his help with casting Death Ward on them in case something goes horribly wrong, Seira is ready to try identifying the lantern Alicia pried from Death's cold fingers, using Waukeen's holy ground for it.
01[20:29] <Seira> OOC: Right, just the grounds, then
06[20:31] * Alicia opens up the portable hole and reaches in to take out the sickly glowing lantern after ensuring no one's standing too close.
06[20:31] * Seira casts Heroism, just in case.
[20:33] <Kotono> The lantern sheds a terrible green light all over as it's withdrawn! Even here, youc an feel it's sickly wrath leech and tear at you! OOC: Make fort saves, both of you?
01[20:33] <Seira> roll 1d20+21
06[20:33] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+21 and gets 26." [1d20=5]
[20:33] <Kobot> Seira rolled 1d20+21 --> [ 1d20=17 ]{38}
03[20:33] * Kobot was kicked by Alicia (Alicia)
[20:34] <Alicia> roll 1d20+22
06[20:34] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+22 and gets 37." [1d20=15]
[20:34] <Kotono> The two withstand the terrible light, even as they feel it lick at their souls.
01[20:35] <Seira> "Oh, great fun," Seira gripes, attempting to activate the scroll.
[20:35] <Alicia> "It's probably best if we can destroy it, but I don't know how it would even be possible considering Hell Striker didn't manage a scratch," Alicia admits, skin crawling as she sets it down on the ground.
01[20:36] <Seira> "My fire might burn it some, but I wonder what would happen if it were to explode...."
[20:36] <Kotono> OOC: What's the casting time on Identify?
01[20:37] <Seira> OOC: It's insane and an hour. Can the lantern be in the hole until I'm almost done?
[20:38] <Kotono> OOC: I'd rule no and that you need the item on hand.
01[20:39] <Seira> OOC: Let's try. Step way back and be ready to inevitably save me?
06[20:40] * Alicia hangs back thirty feet from Seira, knuckling back a yawn. "It's like when we were working on the seals around that sword in the mountains," she observes tiredly.
01[20:40] <Seira> "Except more lethal, seems like?"
[20:40] <Kotono> As Seira begins to cast identify, the light of the lantern continues to weaken her a few seconds later! OOC: Make another fort save, Seira?
01[20:43] <Seira> roll 1d20+21
06[20:43] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+21 and gets 24." [1d20=3]
[20:43] <Kotono> Seira just barely withstands the light a few seconds into her casting! It continues to tug at her all the while!
[20:45] <Alicia> "I might have an idea," Alicia suggests, casting antimagic field and then stepping towards the lantern so it overlaps her field while Seira is just outside.
06[20:47] * Seira is ready to retreat, if Alicia's idea doesn't work.
[20:47] <Kotono> Alicia nulls magic within the field...and yet, the sickly green light continues to radiate out! OOC: Make a fort save, Alicia.
[20:47] <Alicia> roll 1d20+22
06[20:47] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+22 and gets 27." [1d20=5]
[20:47] <Kotono> OOC: Is that including modifiers from being anti-magiced, Alicia?
01[20:48] <Seira> "Doesn't seem like it works," Seira tells Alicia, interrupting her casting and stepping back. "Put it away, I've got another idea."
[20:48] <Alicia> OOC: Crap, divine grace is Su. -8
[20:48] <Kotono> Alicia's body buckles under the magic, weakening as tremors pass through her!
[20:50] <Alicia> "Get away!" Alicia snaps, realising just how horrific this monstrosity truly is and dismissing her antimagic field with a quick word. She needs to get this thing back in the hole right quick.
01[20:50] <Seira> "I am! Just put it away already!"
[20:51] <Alicia> roll 1d20+21 presumably save is required every round
06[20:51] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+21 presumably save is required every round and gets 32." [1d20=11]
[20:51] <Kotono> Alicia withstands the light again as the antimagic is gone! OOC: Go ahead and act.
06[20:51] * Alicia unfurls the hole once magic flows once more and quickly punts the lantern in before closing it up again.
[20:51] <Kotono> The dreadful feeling of the lantern's light is gone.
[20:53] <Alicia> "It's like a wraith's touch, but not only does it need powerful magic to undo, it'll only be healed on holy ground," Alicia explains to Seira, skin waxen and pale. "Could you ask your father to prepare a restoration spell for me next time you see him?"
01[20:53] <Seira> "Gilartal could do it just as well," Seira assures Alicia. "Hang on a second, I'll go find him?"
[20:55] <Alicia> But Saul is more likely to do it for free... "If you ask him to prepare the spell I'll come back tomorrow, then," she agrees.
01[20:56] <Seira> "Considering we were attacked by wraiths, and further attacks might still happen, he is likely to have a spell or two in reserve," Seira elaborates. "Don't worry, it's on the house!"
06[20:56] * Alicia nods and sticks around. If she can get herself healed now it's better than waiting till tomorrow.
[20:57] <Kotono> Finding Gilartal is without incident. "Very well," he says after listening, "Under the circumstances, your health is important to our future profits." With that, Alicia is so mended!
01[20:58] <Seira> "Plus Waukeen sent an astral deva to indicate her support. She actually doesn't do that very much," Seira adds. Or at all, really, which must make this pretty special. "My plan's simple enough. Lagann reported that he wasn't affected by this, so we'll try again tomorrow. He'll prepare an unseen servant to aid him, and the identify spell, while we wait safely back and ready to assist. How about that?"
[21:00] <Alicia> "I like to think I'm a sound investment," Alicia returns dryly, healthy colour returning to her cheeks. "Thank you." She then nods to Seira, "That could work, yes."
[21:08] <Kotono> --
[21:09] <Kotono> Seira is resting with Amaryl, going over arcane tomes. As she does...
01[21:16] <Seira> 'So I'm going to need you not to react,' Seira thinks to Amaryl once her response had been sent. She points out a passage in the book, asking out loud, "Isn't this a most curious mix of celestial and elven?"
[21:16] <Kotono> "It is," Amaryl comes closer and peers down, 'Hm?'
01[21:20] <Seira> 'It seems I was contacted by the freaks behind this thing. They want me to go meet them at Kondrux's old lair at midnight, and to keep everything magical behind but the Resort.' Out loud, she muses, frowning, "I'm not quite sure why this book would introduce such a pattern at so late a stage, however.
01[21:20] <Seira> It's almost as if it is written in code. I think I'll need your help to see if it is, and decypher it if I'm right. Do you think you could help me out with the research, Amaryl?"
[21:21] <Kotono> "I can," Amaryl nods, "It'll be a good learning exercise!"
01[21:22] <Seira> 'The fun part is that they want me to keep this to myself, and if I'm being watched right now, I can hardly speak about it.' She agrees, saying, "Yeah. How about we split it? I'll work on the elven angle, and maybe track Dad down or something, and you see about the celestial script?"
[21:23] <Kotono> "I'll work on it. I know people to ask..." Amaryl says, "It sounds fun!"
01[21:26] <Seira> 'Like Latha. Astral devas usually lack telepathic abilities, so if they don't know her to such detail, it might be safe even if you are watched as well. What kind of idiot do they think I am? "Tell no one"... right, that just ends in everyone dying.' She nods, standing up. "It's decided, then. I'll head out to get more reference books. See you in the morning?"
[21:27] <Kotono> "Alright!" Amaryl says brightly. "Have fun!"
01[21:28] <Seira> "Oh, I intend to. You know how I love research!"
[21:29] <Kotono> OOC: What are you doing now, Seira?
06[21:32] * Seira leaves for the Temple of Waukeen, where she utilizes the set of portals to get to Malmuth, intent on seeking out her father and Donald, whomever of them she comes across first.
[21:33] <Kotono> In Malmuth, Donald is found first. He's in the tent city, eating dinner when Seira chances on him. "Hey Seira," Donald calls, night settled deeply over Malmuth now, sitting next to a torch, "How're things in Balmuria?"
01[21:34] <Seira> 'Don't want to rush you, and don't act unnatural if we really are being watched, but try to get in touch with Alicia and Antenora through Latha, if you can?' Seira requests from Amaryl even as she waves at her protege. 'I have only five hours left.' To him, she says, "Pretty quiet, all things considered. Your sword's busted, so I figured I'd go loan out mine for a while."
[21:37] <Kotono> 'I'm working on it,' Amaryl thinks back, as Donald draws Guardinil. "Sure, it still needs repairs. I haven't used the Resort much, but it handled well?"
01[21:39] <Seira> "You know how magical armor fits the wearer?" Seira asks, handing the Resort over, sheath and all. "This blade's like that, except far more. I thought about having Lagann work on Guardinil, but it'd really take more time than we have, you know? Got to always keep on our toes, watch out for abductions by wraith, that sort of thing."
[21:40] <Kotono> Donald draws it in one smooth motion, giving it a swing, "Damn! It really does!"
[21:40] <Kotono> "Oh yeah, sure," he adds, getting up and takin ga few swings with the Resort.
01[21:40] <Seira> "Thought you'd like it. Guard it with your life, or else," she threatens him with a smile.
[21:41] <Kotono> "Oh yeah, sure." He says again, making a heavy thrust with it, hair flying about artistically. "Whoo, this sword is incredible!"
06[21:43] * Seira rolls her eyes, and goes to find her father, this time to part with the ring of spell-storing and the gifts she had received recently from Elle and Queen Tant.
[21:44] <Kotono> Saul is found reading his spellbook, resting in a private tent. "Oh, there you are." Saul looks up, "Still running around all the known world like a flash?"
01[21:45] <Seira> "That's me," she affirms. "Just couldn't stay away. If we're allowed to keep to the current pace of the reconstruction, how long do you think it'll take?"
[21:46] <Kotono> "Months instead of a generation." Saul closes his book, "Magic will speed things along a hundred fold."
01[21:46] <Seira> "Just be sure to take care of yourself, alright?" Seira asks him, jokingly adding, "I won't be around forever to take care of you, Old Man."
[21:47] <Kotono> "Uh huh." Looking to Seira with a smile, "Going to become a big dragon and fly off to some remote mountain to sit on a pile of gold?"
01[21:49] <Seira> "That's exactly what I'll do," Seira affirms. "But the real reason I'm here is since I figured you'd get more use out of these than me," she tells him further, presenting her rods of metamagic and the ring of spell-storing. "We might get to shave off a week from the rebuilding efforts yet!"
[21:50] <Kotono> "These will help, sure," Saul looks them over, "But I also know you need these in battle. Why give them to me now?"
01[21:51] <Seira> "That's why I'm keeping the pearls," Seira responds, making a show of them. "They're tactical. What you have here is strategic resources at best, and if we're attacked suddenly, I can't use them effectively anyway."
[21:52] <Kotono> "Right, right." With a chuckle, "Fine then."
[21:52] <Kotono> 'Antenora knows as she's talking to Alicia now,' Amaryl sends back to Seira. 'It's passed on.'
01[21:54] <Seira> 'Right. I'm going, you know. I wish I had a good way to contact Demedais as well....' Seira gives her father another smile, and departs in search of a house where she could have some privacy.
[21:55] <Kotono> There's plenty of ruined houses where Seira can have all the privacy and rubble she wishes.
01[21:58] <Seira> Once there, Seira removes anything magical she has on her sans the ring of teleportation and the diadem of intellect. From there, the items go into two neat piles, the bow, armor and boots into one, and the scrolls along with the rest of her magical things into the other. Lagann, whom she then instructs to fill Demedais or Donald in once it is midnight, rests by itself.
06[21:59] * Seira then resolves to wait until a quarter to midnight.

---

[21:08] <Kotono> It is duskfall. Alicia is finishing dinner with Jessica, Marie, Dawnhope and Antenora. As they chat...
[21:12] <Alicia> A faint flicker of a frown mars Alicia's face but she continues with the current conversation, leaving the sender of the message with only twenty five words of inane dinner-chat to go on.
[21:15] <Kotono> "Hm?" Antenora cocks her head, "Alicia, dinner not agreeing with you?" she smilesa little, "Or did you space out about things again?"
[21:20] <Alicia> "Just thinking about this whole situation," Alicia replies evasively. "It's so frustrating, fumbling around in the dark."
[21:20] <Kotono> "I know..." Antenora closes her eyes, "I know." Rising up and patting Alicia's shoulder. "I'm going to go train and get my mind off of it."
[21:20] <Kotono> Jessica smiles, "Just enjoy dinner right now, sis."
06[21:22] * Alicia forces a smile for her sister's benefit, finishing her dinner before retiring to her room. As soon as she's gone Marie doesn't help matters by immediately blabbing to Jessica that Alicia was disturbed by something suddenly in the middle of dinner, with no apparent cause.
[21:24] <Kotono> OOC: Doing anything in your room right off or...?
02[21:26] * Kobot (~dunefar@ip68-99-109-25.hr.hr.cox.net) Quit (I suck.)
[21:26] <Alicia> Once in her room, Alicia consults with her sword telepathically. 'It's clearly a trap, but I can't place fancy dagger over two people's lives,' she concludes after relaying the demand placed upon her.
[21:27] <Kotono> 'Be strong.' Hell-STriker replies, 'You will triumph over the evil, as you have all others.'
[21:29] <Alicia> 'This is one I'm going to have to triumph over without you helping me, though,' Alicia responds, sighing softly as she starts removing her magical items - save the ring of eternal celerity, of course.
[21:29] <Kotono> Hell-Striker is set down, no further words. As Alicia removes her magical blessings, there is a knock on the door. "Sister?" Jessica calls.
[21:30] <Alicia> Her familiar probably blabbed... Alicia hates being so furtive. "Come in, Jessica," she replies, slipping off her boots and sitting on her bed.
[21:31] <Kotono> Jessica comes in, "Well..." She closes the door behind her, "What's wrong?" Asking softly as she sits next to Alicia, "Marie...well, you know Marie. She said you were upset, bless her."
[21:34] <Alicia> "I just hate what's happening," she replies, dodging the whole truth. "It's like we're only seeing part of what's happening, and there's more we're missing - we don't even know who's really behind this."
[21:35] <Kotono> Going to hug her sister with warmth in her arms, "Antenora's really upset, too. That night was so horrible, but as long as you can't put a stop to it..." Looking down, "It's like a guillotine hanging over our necks."
06[21:37] * Alicia weakly returns the hug. "I know. The sort of power that could unleash such forces against five cities with impunity... it's terrifying, if you let yourself stop and think about it. It's not so bad when you're busy and doing something, but when things seem to go quiet, that's when it's worst of all."
[21:38] <Kotono> "Yeah. Antenora called it th etime that breeds paranoia and plots." Patting Alicia's back, "But I'm sure you'll figure it out, Mystra willing."
[21:40] <Alicia> "Either that or have it revealed in a painful fashion when the other shoe drops," Alicia grimaces faintly, shaking her head. "I'm sorry, Jessica, I'm being dreadfully morose - it's been a trying few days. I think I'll try lying down for a while, see if I can relax."
[21:41] <Kotono> "Okay." Jessica stands up. "Sleep well, and dream of Dweomerheart."
[21:42] <Alicia> "Thanks, sister," Alicia stands up as well to see Jessica out. Once she's alone again, she resumes removing her magical jewellery and kneels beside her bed, praying to Mystra for the strength to get through tonight, and refreshing her sense of the divine.
[21:43] <Kotono> This passes well and peacefully. Alicia feels her worries leave her, resting deep in her prayers. Yet...'Alicia.' Antenora's voice is heard, after that a knock on her door. 'We need to talk.'
[21:44] <Alicia> Damn, she'd just been about to leave, too! "Come in, Antenora," she responds verbally, getting up and dusting off her knees.
[21:44] <Kotono> Antenora enters, replying mentally. 'Latha got in contact with me for Seira, through Amaryl. We need to talk - there's been a demand placed on her tonight.'
[21:46] <Alicia> 'If it's the same as the demand that was placed on me then she also would've been told not to tell anyone,' Alicia remarks, sighing in defeat and sitting back down on the mattress.
[21:46] <Kotono> '...hmph.' Antenora mutters, 'I suspect it is then...damnations, Seira.' Antenora sits next to Alicia. 'What was your demand?'
[21:47] <Alicia> 'Go to Kondrux's former lair, alone, with no weapons or armour or magic items except for those stupid gnomish artifacts... of course I gave mine to Donald, but I suppose our foes aren't quite up to date on recent developments,' Alicia summarises wearily.
[21:48] <Kotono> 'Shit.' Antenora says darkly, every word full of venom. 'It more or less is, from what I gathered. What are we going to do then?'
[21:51] <Alicia> 'If I don't comply then Claris and Lord Drake will suffer for it, so I don't see that I have much choice. I can try to work things out once there, but when you get right down to it, I'm going in blind.'
[21:51] <Alicia> Alicia finally pegs that they might be under observation and this silence is perhaps curious, so she fills it by speaking aloud. "I had Dawnhope and Marie check with Rosamund and Ajan this morning. At least they're both fine."
[21:52] <Kotono> "Small favors. No matter who's behind this, there's been too many losses." Meanwhile, Antenora sighs. 'I understand. If you decide you want me to come...say the word.'
[21:53] <Alicia> "It seems they're focused on the cities, although I still don't know to what end..." Alicia muses emptily. 'It's too big a risk for their hostages. I'll try to come up with a plan when I'm there, but at the end of the day I'm willing to sacrifice the dagger if it saves Claris and Lord Drake.'
[21:54] <Kotono> "Chaos?" Antenora shrugs, "If governments are decapitated, order will break down." In her mind, 'I agree. It's...the best thing to do if you have to, if it saves them. You can always take the dagger back from them, and...even at worst, if there's a more terrible motive behind it...we'll stop them anyway.'
[21:56] <Alicia> 'As a weapon it's nice but hardly a world-shattering threat like Arondaaq - I can give it up easily. And if they want to use it to get to Daa-vid, they still need to get through Ajan.' "You're probably right," she agrees. "Anyway, it's late, and we've both had a long day..."
[21:59] <Kotono> "I know." Antenora goes and takes Alicia's hand, "If you need anything or just want to talk..." she says, rising. 'Good luck. Mystra watch over you, Alicia.'
[22:00] <Alicia> "I'll see you tomorrow," Alicia promises as she squeezes the hand back, a bit more earnestly than a normal bidding of goodnight.
[22:00] <Kotono> OOC: Ball's in your court then.
[22:03] <Alicia> A few minutes to center herself after Antenora leaves, Alicia borrows a pair of hiking boots from her sister before she teleports to Malmuth.
[22:03] <Alicia> roll 1d100 refugee camp seen casually
06[22:03] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d100 refugee camp seen casually and gets 51." [1d100=51]
[22:04] <Kotono> Alicia appears in the refugee camp without incident.
06[22:04] * Alicia then goes to find Donald back where she saw him with Pollyanna and Antenora this morning.
[22:06] <Kotono> Donald's found practicing in a quiet corner of the camp. The Second Resort is in hand, Seira's blade flashing as he thrusts and parries and slashes with it.
06[22:08] * Alicia blinks in surprise at seeing Donald with that weapon. "Good evening, Donald. Found an appreciation for gnomish weapons, have you?" she greets him.
[22:09] <Kotono> "Oh yeah, Seira traded me while she gets Guardianil fixed by Lagann." Stopping to wipe his brow, "I'm wondering if I can sweet-talk her into letting me use it. It's incredible!"
[22:10] <Alicia> "Well, if you're using that then you won't mind letting me have the dagger back?" Alicia offers, wondering what Seira's playing at.
[22:11] <Kotono> "Sure," Donald stops and hands over the dagger. He then grins, "You seem to be in a good mood. You know, the last time you were in a a good mood you were a LOT of fun to be around..." With a big ol' grin, "You remember?"
06[22:13] * Alicia is pretty far from being in a good mood. Either her acting skills are that good or Donald is that stupid. Sadly it's probably the latter. "I was possessed by an aspect of primal chaos. My mercurial mood could have easily led to me punching you," she replies tartly, slipping the dagger into her boot.
[22:14] <Kotono> "Yeah, yeah," Donald waves a hand, "Primal chaos this, uptight that. Relax. So what if horrible dark forces are attacking the world? It's not an excuse to go around brooding all over."
[22:16] <Alicia> "I suppose you think we should have a nice senseless roll in the hay since tomorrow we might be dead?" Alicia asks in an unimpressed tone, wishing she hadn't sheathed the dagger quite so quickly.
[22:17] <Kotono> "Oh no. I was going to suggest you and Antenora get in touch with your chaotic sides...preferably with syrup and sugar involved." Now grinning ear to ear, an din a softer voice, "What I'm saying is to lighten up. Things'll work out in the end, they always do."
06[22:21] * Alicia gives him a smile that doesn't reach her eyes. "Trust me, Donald. Much as I prefer Antenora's company over yours, you manage to place higher on my list than she does for that sort of thing. Goodnight." She walks away, leaving him with that to chew on.

[19:16] <Kotono> ---
[19:20] <Kotono> It's dark. Everything around Seira is dark. DId she appear in the horde? She can't tell...but her skin shivers. It's cold here, a chill that smells of death and rot. Distantly, occasional flickers of electricity arc about, barely penetrating the bleak blackness. Sitting ahead of you is a grand stone throne. It's carved of solid ash colored rock, engraved with skeletons paying tribute to something unseen.
01[19:20] <Seira> "Nice and creepy, I see," she voices.
[19:24] <Kotono> He walks forward. Every muscle in his body is defined, plate armor lusterless gray. He is clean shaven and bald. His body is gigantic, as if a statue's perfection was given a body of flesh to show off. A heavy hammer is slung over his back, the face of it a screaming maw of a bebelith. He stands just behind the throne, dominating it. "Seira of the Crimson Guard. Wait there."
01[19:25] <Seira> "Nothing else to do here, is there?"
[19:26] <Kotono> Smirking as he stares at her, so tall as if to be a tree deigning to look down on here, "Of course not. You are already defeated; it's only a matter of seeing what your fate is."
[19:26] <Kotono> As they talk, there is a shimmer in the air. Alicia appears near Seira, teleportation magic placing her down safely.
01[19:27] <Seira> "The banter part, right? I love it!" Seira responds, before jumping at Alicia's arrival. "You too?!"
[19:28] <Alicia> "Colonel. Fancy meeting you here," Alicia greets Seira dryly, dressed in black leggings and a short dress of the same colour, her wings hugging her shoulders like a white-feathered cloak against the chill of night. "I'm here to negotiate the ransom of Claris and Lord Drake," she announces with a wary glance at the nearby giant. She was expecting a skeleton...
01[19:29] <Seira> "I don't think we get to negoatiate. We're already defeated."
[19:30] <Alicia> "I wouldn't count us out just yet..." Alicia remarks guardedly, waiting to see what their host has to say.
[19:30] <Kotono> "Exactly." Crossing hs arms over a chest large enough to serve a large dinner over, "I am here to first offer a courtesy. Renounce your disgusting servitude to the powers and you will have a far preferable fate than any other you could have now."
01[19:31] <Seira> "Killing me with your overwhelming power is one thing, but must you also insult me?" Seira asks, quite upset with the offer.
[19:32] <Alicia> "I have never regretted my service to the Mother of all Magic," Alicia crosses her arms over her own far less abundant chest. "I do not believe submitting myself to you or your kin would grant any satisfaction. If you have no interest in negotiating the release of your prisoners then we have nothing more to discuss."
[19:34] <Kotono> "Then lament your foolishness for eternity." Cracking his knuckles, "You will surrender the Resorts to me. In return, I will return the elf wizard."
01[19:36] <Seira> "This is what it is all about?" Seira asks in surprise. "Really?"
[19:37] <Kotono> "What this is about is of no concern to you. The term proposes is as it is."
[19:37] <Kotono> *proposed
01[19:37] <Seira> "So who the hell are you?"
[19:38] <Kotono> "You'll get no helpful information to scour the Planes with your pitiful magic with, wizard." Crossing his arms again and smirking, "The terms are here."
[19:39] <Alicia> While Alicia does like Lord Drake and barely knows Claris, she's not about to leave the priest in the lurch. "Return both of them and I will give you the third resort," Alicia makes her counter-offer.
01[19:39] <Seira> "You know, for overconfident, all-powerful mages, you guys are pretty worried I might find somethig with that pifitul magic of mine."
[19:46] <Kotono> "The terms are as they are," Looking to Alicia, gaze down on her with contempt, "There is no bargaining. Do yout hink only one of the Resorts is enough to free both of them?"
02[19:49] * Alicia (WinNT@user-544498f7.lns5-c10.dsl.pol.co.uk) Quit (atarians.dejatoons.net sebben.dejatoons.net)
01[19:50] <Seira> "And being the nice, genocidal people that you are, you will of course return the hostages and promise to never do it again?" Seira asks skeptically.
03[19:52] * Alicia (WinNT@user-544498f7.lns5-c10.dsl.pol.co.uk) has joined #evildunes
03[19:52] * ChanServ sets mode: +a Alicia
[19:52] <Kotono> "You can join the winning side," With a look to Seira, "Renounce the Gods you give homage to."
[19:52] <Alicia> "You want these things. Badly," Alicia replies, her frosty gaze looking right back. "You can either get this one for the small price of returning your hostages, or you can try to take it from me. You haven't tried that, and I think, for all your bravado, that we both know why."
01[19:53] <Seira> "If you're serious about the whole me joining you guys part, how about supplying me with that information I'll scour the planes for?" Seira counters with a snort. "You can't seriously expect me to leap into it blind."
[19:58] <Kotono> "Taking it from you? Simple. If all you understand is force, then you can die here." As the massive creature cracks it's knuckles. "So desperate for any scrap of knowledge you can steal. My name is Melancton. Scream my name as you, for you WILL lament!" OOC: Init.

03[19:59] * Kotono changes topic to 'Alicia(25)>Melancton(23)>Seira(14)'
[19:59] <Kotono> OOC: Alicia.
[20:01] <Alicia> "The advantage here is yours. When we next meet you will die, just as the false Death did," Alicia promises, quickly stepping over to take Seira's arm in hand and teleports them to her bedroom.
[20:01] <Alicia> roll 1d100
06[20:01] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d100 and gets 66." [1d100=66]
[20:02] <Kotono> "Hmph!" Melancton laughs as the lair of Kondrux vanishes!  You appear in Alicia's bedroom without incident, safe and far warmer! OOC: Go ahead.
01[20:03] <Seira> 'We're back, negotiations failed. Where are you?' Seira thinks to Amaryl. She grimaces. "That went as splendid as I imagined."
[20:03] <Kotono> 'I'm with Latha,' Amaryl sends back. 'You aren't hurt, are you?'
[20:03] <Alicia> "He might follow us," Alicia notes as they arrive, starting to grab the things she left in her room, starting off by slipping on the ring of freedom of movement.
01[20:04] <Seira> 'No. In case he follows, can you two alert the Commander?'
[20:04] <Kotono> 'On it,' Amaryl thinks right back.
01[20:04] <Seira> "He might," Seira agrees. "I left my things with Donald and Dad, in case it was a diversion to lure me away and attack here or Malmuth."
[20:06] <Alicia> "Can you collect them?" Alicia asks, looping her belt of giant strength around her waist next. "I've half a mind to go back once I've gotten properly dressed."
01[20:07] <Seira> "You think he'll just be waiting for us?" Seira asks in surprise. "I suppose I could, if you don't mind coming along to Malmuth for a bit."
[20:08] <Alicia> "Not if he has any sense," Alicia concedes, calming down a little and looking more thoughtful. "And it might not solve anything, anyway... I suspect Melancton is just an expendable pawn for his masters. They wouldn't risk anyone important on facing us, given the risks involved."
01[20:09] <Seira> "Who they are does seem to get confirmed more and more with every piece of information," Seira muses. "You know, even though Waukeen doesn't think it would help, let's break the remaining seals starting tomorrow."
[20:11] <Alicia> "The idea has merit," Alicia agrees. "It's abundantly clear that all bets are off, and any protection our world might have enjoyed from its seclusion is now gone - and in fact a liability since it hampers our own ability to respond to these assaults. The only thing that worries me is that we could be overextended by the guardians in the ruins and ill-prepared for further attacks."
01[20:12] <Seira> "If our enemies attack in strength, we won't be able to hold this city," Seira states grimly. "And if they keep on sending minions, then even Arad, Valandia and the Citadel managed to hold off the attack without too great casualties without us present."
[20:14] <Kotono> 'He's been told,' Amaryl sends back. 'Anything else, Seira? Where are you?'
06[20:14] * Alicia relents in the face of Seira's undeniable logic. "Alright, let me finish getting dressed then I'll teleport us back to Malmuth - you can retrieve your things and we can bring Demedais back so we can get started tomorrow morning."
01[20:16] <Seira> 'In Alicia's bedroom. Just wait there with them, until we're certain there is no follow up attack?' she responds mentally. "We can get there by the portals easily enough, without wasting spells. You're getting low on them, aren't you?"
[20:17] <Alicia> "I have enough, but who knows how many I'll need if pressed?" Alicia shrugs as she gets started on fastening her armour in place. "Between Antenora, Marie, and Dawnhope the house should be safe from surprise attacks, at least."
01[20:18] <Seira> "The garrison and temple of Waukeen should likewise be prepared, as well as the Malmuthian contingent," Seira adds, waiting for Alicia to be finished.
06[20:20] * Alicia takes a few minutes with her armour but after that her weapons and jewellery are in place quick enough, topped off by whipping her golden cloak onto her back and fastening it. "Right, lets go," she nods, intending to give Marie a quick update before they head off to the temple of Helm to use their portal.
06[20:21] * Seira keeps ahead of Alicia, to give the paladin time to talk to her familiar and houseguests in private.
[20:23] <Kotono> Gathering up Donald, Saul and Demedais is without incident. Seira gets her gear back. As they talk amid the tents of the refuge city, "Melancton?" Saul asks, "That was the brute's name?"
[20:23] <Alicia> roll 1d20+23 planes
06[20:23] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+23 planes and gets 27." [1d20=4]
01[20:23] <Seira> "Yeah," Seira agrees, detailing the surroundings and its appearance.
01[20:23] <Seira> roll 1d20+13
06[20:23] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+13 and gets 25." [1d20=12]
[20:24] <Kotono> roll 1d20+26 Saul'll try too
06[20:24] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+26 Saul'll try too and gets 43." [1d20=17]
[20:24] <Alicia> "Enormous bald man in full plate, had a bebilith-themed warhammer," Alicia chips in. "He laughed when I mentioned killing the entropic reaper that called itself Death. Either he didn't believe me or it really was a minor pawn to them." She hopes it's the former, but...
[20:28] <Kotono> While it doesn't ring any bells for either of the women, "Melancton...that's a titan's name. Melancton the Black Flower, who crusaded from Arborea into the Abyss. He vanished for over six millenia and then returned to Arborea to wage war on it, forsaking his ties there and embracing what he fought against in the Abyss. The legend says he was routed by the Court of the Stars, running from Arborea as fast as he could."
01[20:29] <Seira> "So even those guys can be routed," Seira mutters to herself.
[20:29] <Kotono> "Titans are feriously powerful," Saul continues as he thinks, "Not quite a solar, but mighty champions of chaos and usually good as well. But they're not invincible, no."
[20:29] <Alicia> "A weak-willed turncoat, then," Alicia mutters in disgust. "Good on the Court for giving him the kicking he deserves."
[20:30] <Kotono> "But like a bad copper in the mud, he's come back," Saul notes, "Bad on them for not finishing the job."
01[20:31] <Seira> "Seems like we will. Eventually." Seira grimaces. "Just hold down the fort until we do?"
[20:31] <Kotono> "You know, I hear Aborea is pretty fun," Donald interjects, "If he's a fallen titan of theirs, y'think they might have an interest in stopping him?"
[20:32] <Alicia> "Perhaps with the seals undone they might be able to send a stronger force to do just that," Alicia muses. "But if not I'll be happy to do the job myself."
[20:32] <Kotono> "Maybe one or two of us can go and try that?" Donald says now, "Saul can plane shift, or Latha or even Demedais there."
01[20:33] <Seira> "We might spend a Sending to give them a heads up that Melcanton resurfaced," Seira muses. "Any idea who was his boss?"
[20:34] <Kotono> "His father is said to have died, but his mother's name is known as Heliana." Saul says after a little more thought, idly tugging on one of his ears. "She's one of Lady Morwel's many ladies in waiting in the Court of Stars."
01[20:34] <Seira> "It might be awkward to ask her, so maybe someone else, like one of his old training buddies...."
[20:35] <Kotono> "It's the best lead I have, unless one of us goes over there and tries to dig up some old friends of his," Saul merely shrugs. "Awkward, yes, but if anyone knows him, it's his mother."
[20:36] <Alicia> "Telling his mother may not be the best idea, she might just sit on the information out of misplaced love for her son," Alicia notes. "I know a Tulani named Noonbreath who might help if asked. They're pretty high up the eladrin ladder, so he's sure to have connections."
01[20:36] <Seira> "We can't go, Donald shouldn't... Latha would be the best bet, here, if a Sending to Alicia's contact doesn't help," Seira agrees.
[20:38] <Kotono> "Noonbreath? How many celestials do you know?" Saul glances at Alicia askance.
01[20:39] <Seira> "If even I know a couple, why shouldn't Alicia be familiar with lots of them?" Seira asks curiously. "Anyway, how about trying the Sending now? We'll know after a few minutes what to do next."
[20:40] <Alicia> "A few," Alicia shrugs in reply. "I have an eladrin as my familiar, after all. Still, we shouldn't forget that ultimately, Melancton is just a playing piece - maybe a knight or a rook rather than a pawn, but dealing with him won't solve the real problem."
01[20:41] <Seira> "If nothing else, it might stay the hand of the bastards attacking us, perhaps long enough for us to find a way to deal with them, or information to aid us with that."
[20:42] <Alicia> "Anything that inconveniences them is good, yes," Alicia nods. "I just didn't want us to get our hopes up that killing him would solve our problems."
01[20:43] <Seira> "Nothing's ever that easy," Seira agrees.
[20:51] <Kotono> "Noonbreath, then," Saul murmurs, "What's the message, anyway?"
06[20:52] * Alicia spends a moment counting words and getting it in her head, lips moving inaudibly before she finally nods in satisfaction and recites, "Message from Alicia Reynes: Melancton, son of Meliana, traitor to Arborea, is working with Dark Six to wreak havoc on Prime. Let interested parties know."
[20:55] <Kotono> Saul leads the party into a tent so he can cast in peace. AS this happens, "You  know, we're going to look like fools if this isn't the Dark Six." Donald sits down and leans back onto his elbows. "We're still just guessing it's them, right?"
[20:55] <Alicia> "Hmm... alright, lets reword it," Alicia relents.
[20:55] <Alicia> "Just say 'unknown party' instead of Dark Six?"
[20:55] <Kotono> Saul stops his murmurs, "Well, make up your mind on a message. Sooner than later - besides which, I'd like to sleep tonight so I can be refreshed and able to reset my spells."
01[20:55] <Seira> "It's a good enough estimate, but how about god-haters?" Seira suggests. "Unknown party works too, I guess."
[20:56] <Kotono> "Alright."
[20:57] <Kotono> As Saul begins his preparations once more, "So let's see." Donald starts ticking off fingers, "Incredibly powerful remorhazes, undead of all stripes, an entropic reaper/Death itself, depending on who you believe and now a dark titan. Any pattern that any of ou see?"
01[20:58] <Seira> "How about we go with Magic and Death?"
06[20:58] * Alicia shakes her head. "I'd wager their ultimate goal is Daa-vid. They're probably arrogant enough to believe they can suborn his power for themselves. But I can't see a method to their madness."
[20:59] <Alicia> "Seeing them try to get past Ajan would be a sight, though..." she admits.
01[20:59] <Seira> "And I wonder if it's as simple as that," Seira muses. "They'll need all five Resorts, so why ask for just two? If they can't gain entrance on their own, too, then just the one would be enough. Why insist on the two?"
[21:00] <Kotono> Donald holds up his thumb and forefinger in a circle, then bounces his other hand off the circle. "We're still on the outside trying to get in. Nothing quite explains everything well and everything raises more questions than it answers. Like that. Why only two resorts? Why not drag Demedais there with Polly and get all 5 in one swoop?"
[21:02] <Alicia> "It could just be a step along the way, with further plans aimed at the remainder," Alicia shrugs. "Who knows what they'll do next?"
01[21:02] <Seira> "Maybe the answer here is, it's not the amount of the Resorts, but they want the specific two we have? In that case, Ajan might know what makes them different."
[21:03] <Kotono> "You know, I've always wanted to meet that giant dragon." Donald says, "Maybe we should ask him."
[21:04] <Kotono> Saul clears his throat, "Can I have some quiet to concentrate on my magic?"
06[21:04] * Seira is happy for the interruption, because letting Donald meet Ajan is not on her agenda.
06[21:04] * Alicia tries not to give Seira's dad a disapproving look. It's not like they're beating him up or shaking him around.
[21:05] <Kotono> After ten minutes pass, "The reply was that he'll look into it," Saul says, "And be in touch at the proper time."
[21:06] <Alicia> "That's all we can ask," Alicia nods in satisfaction.
01[21:07] <Seira> "Then all that remains is the question of who's going tomorrow," Seira voices. "I'd like to bring Amaryl with me, but beyond that...."
[21:07] <Kotono> "I wish to stay in Malmuth for now." Saul says, "Far too many need help still."
01[21:08] <Seira> "Donald will help with that, and providing security," Seira agrees.
[21:09] <Alicia> "I think it'd be best with just the three of us," Alicia voices, indicating herself, Seira, and Demedais. "We shouldn't pull more than we have to from the defence of Balmuria."
01[21:09] <Seira> "I don't really want to leave her behind since negotiations broke down," Seira admits.
[21:11] <Alicia> "She's also our link to Balmuria if something happens there, though," Alicia points out logically. "If we bring her then we won't know anything happened until someone has ten minutes after the fact to cast Sending."
01[21:14] <Seira> "I can't really argue with that, but Balmuria should be fine with its current defenses. With Pollyanna, Antenora and the Commander there, they should be able to defend it."
06[21:17] * Seira considers. "How about we ask Elle to cast Telepathic Bond on herself, us and say Donald? That way we'll keep in touch with Malmuth as well, in case anything were to happen."
[21:17] <Alicia> "If you're dead set on bringing her I can't really dissuade you," Alicia relents. "I just hope you know what you're doing - those ruins aren't a safe place, they're designed to kill off anyone too weak to face Daa-vid, after all."
01[21:19] <Seira> "It's a pretty screwed up situation where I think she'll be safer in mortal peril-filled ruins with me rather than back home," Seira admits.
06[21:21] * Alicia sees little point in discussing it further. "Anyway, lets go home. Big day tomorrow."
[21:24] <Kotono> ---
[21:24] <Kotono> It is late in the evening. Marie's sleepless night, like most others, is quiet. Until, naturally, someone starts knocking and rapping on the front door.
[21:26] <Alicia> Well, knocking is better than banging it down. Besides, there's a few other sleepless outsiders in the house and some of them are even tougher than she is, so she's got no fear of going to open the door and see who it is.
[21:27] <Alicia> Of course, if she sees any evil through the door she might hesitate.
[21:29] <Kotono> No evil. Opening the door, ou find a beautiful, strapping Tulani there. His presence illuminates the night and pushes back the chill. "Good evening, I apologize for calling at this late hour. I'm here to see the Crimson Guard."
[21:30] <Alicia> Does she recognise this particular Tulani?
[21:32] <Kotono> Noonbreath, Tulani met in the quest for Evergold.
[21:33] <Alicia> "Oh, hi Noonbreath!" Marie smiles brightly. "Come on in, I'll go wake up Alicia." Adding in a conspiratorial whisper, "She gets cranky and talks about needing eight hours, but so long as she doesn't have to cast anything it won't matter." Showing the Tulani to the living room first of all she then flies upstairs to go and wake up Alicia.
[21:35] <Kotono> Noonbreath goes to wait. Alicia is found without incident, doing that curious thing called sleeping.
[21:37] <Alicia> And she's promptly woken up and told what's happening before she can chastise her familiar. Climbing out of bed she puts on a somewhat odd looking dressing gown with half the back missing to accomodate her wings. Repressing a yawn, she goes downstairs to greet the Tulani.
[21:38] <Alicia> "Thanks for responding to my message so quickly," she offers with a tired smile.
[21:39] <Kotono> Antenora is out there, yawning herself and curled up in a chair. She watches him blearily. Noonbreath bows his head, "I apologize for the late hour, but we all felt that swiftness was essential."
[21:42] <Alicia> "It's fine, so long as I don't exert myself it shouldn't interfere with tomorrow's plans," Alicia nods, giving Antenora a sympathetic look. If it wasn't for that exhaustion spell she'd probably be bright and peppy even at this hour. "Will the Court of Stars be sending forces against its wayward son?"
[21:43] <Kotono> "There are many possibilities. Before we go into details, I'd like yo uto tell me everything you know about what's happened and about Melancton. If it's not too much trouble."
[21:43] <Kotono> Antenora smothers another yawn, murmuring an apology. Her wings curl up around herself, sinking deep into her chair.
06[21:55] * Alicia nods. "It started... yesterday, actually. Or the day before, technically. We were in the Abyss en route to Green Castle to slay the balor who lives there when we received word from home that Malmuth - that's the neighbouring empire - had its capital attacked by remorhaz. We returned to the prime and went to Malmuth's aid."
[21:55] <Alicia> "Once there we were told that the beasts emerged from the centre of the city and wreaked general havoc, but specifically focused on razing every temple they could find. All who were killed vanished upon death. We were able to slay most of the remorhaz,"
[21:55] <Alicia> and found a spellcasting wraith guarding the portal they arrived from - it was also bolstered by powerful magic that mimicked the sort of control a God has over its realm, albeit over a very small area. I dispelled that from outside before we killed the wraith."
[21:55] <Alicia> "I sent a few elementals through the portal to investigate, but they never returned so I sealed it shut. Then we heard that the Citadel of Light - capital of the elven kingdom of Pallanth - had been beset by undead who razed their temples. Again all those who died vanished, and their most powerful archmage was kidnapped."
[21:55] <Alicia> "Balmuria was attacked next, again by undead. We returned to aid in the fight, seeing that the undead we fought were the unfortunates who had died in Malmuth and Pallanth. Again their focus was the temples, but we beat them back."
[21:55] <Alicia> "In the process I fought an Entropic Reaper that called itself Death. Crushing its body failed to quiet it, and the battle was unresolved. Another attack of undead happened at Valandia, where a powerful cleric of Lathander was kidnapped after breaking the back of the attack. Arad in the desert fiefdoms was also attacked."
[21:56] <Alicia> "Earlier today we scried on the Reaper, finding it regenerating on the Negative Energy Plane. We went there and gave it a final death. Then around dinnertime myself and Seira received telepathic messages telling us to come alone and unarmed to the lair of the dead blue dragon Kondrux at midnight, bringing the resorts of the gnome god-king."
[21:56] <Alicia> "If we didn't comply then their two hostages would suffer for it. So we did, where we met Melancton. He first offered us a chance to join him, then demanded all the resorts for one of the hostages. I offered one resort for both hostages but he refused to negotiate, then decided to just attack us for them."
[21:56] <Alicia> "Being unarmed, I didn't consider the odds favourable, so I teleported us away, and Seira's father recognised the name when we mentioned it, so I thought you'd be a good person to tell in case anyone back home had an interest in taking Melancton down... we need all the help we can get," she concludes.
[21:58] <Kotono> "Melancton is a sensitive matter." AFter so listening, "So this is what became of him," Rubbing his chin as he thinks, "Long ago, Melancton was a righteous titan who went into the Abyss. He defeated many and grew emboldened. He sought to travel to Amdrolynne. Are you familiar with the sad legend of Androlynne?"
[21:59] <Kotono> *androlynne
06[22:00] * Alicia glances at Marie. "I've heard of it, yes. Greater numbers of eladrin have been going there recently, haven't they?"
[22:04] <Kotono> Antenora blinks and rubs her eyes, "Isn't that..." Stopping to yawn, "The prophecy from Helm, we thought it mentioned Androlynne."
[22:05] <Kotono> "We wish to save those poor children. Interesting, but aside for the moment. He was thought lost at Androlynne, another having given all to try and free the lost children. But after about 6000 years, he returned to Arborea, this time as a champion of the Abyss and a destroyer."
06[22:07] * Alicia nods in agreement to Antenora, although she can't recall the wording offhand. "The Abyss can have that effect, I've noticed," she agrees sadly. "We don't think he's working with any demons, now, though. None of what's happened shows any ties to the Abyss."
[22:09] <Kotono> "Interesting. He was send packing by the Court of the Stars. The way I've heard it told, he only escaped by throwing his pride away and fleeing at the last moment. From there, he vanished into the multiverse. If he has returned, Queen Morwel would like this affair settled at long last."
[22:14] <Alicia> "Well, any thing you can offer would be appreciated - we're badly overstretched, and the world as a whole just isn't ready for the sort of power these creatures can throw around with abandon," Alicia resists the urge to sigh. "The sad thing is, we're certain Melancton is just a bit-player in a larger scheme, so even getting rid of him won't solve our problems."
[22:16] <Kotono> "Queen Morwel is more than willing to help your fair city and those of this world. This sort of evil will not be unopposed. She has a request, however; Melancton is to be taken alive. Pragmatically, Queen Morwel wishes to know who controls him and what happened to him in Androlynne long ago, and also wishes him to stand in judgment in the Court of Stars. If there is any good left in him, perhaps he can yet be saved. If not, then he can be
[22:16] <Kotono> perhaps he can yet be saved. If not, then he can be put to rest for eternity."
06[22:17] * Alicia doesn't like this condition, but they have the right to request it. "I can't promise, but if it comes down to it we'll try and subdue him if we can. We have our suspicions on who he serves, but we've yet to acquire any confirmation."
[22:18] <Kotono> "I understand. I know that in battle you may not have the luxury." Noonbreath stands up now, "I will return to Arborea briefly, and come back to Balmuria at high noon. Pass on my regards to the rest of the Guard, I've heard well of all of them."
[22:19] <Kotono> "Thank you." Antenora sits up, stretching out and adjusting a plain white nightgown as she does. "We're all in this together, for the sake of this world."
[22:20] <Alicia> "I'll let everyone know in the morning," Alicia nods. "If myself or colonel Seira aren't around, you can liaise with Commander Obureth."
06[22:20] * Alicia likewise rises since everyone else is.
[22:20] <Kotono> "Understood." Going over to offer a hand to Alicia, "Next time we meet, let it be at another bacchae and in far more enjoyable situations."
[22:21] <Alicia> "We can celebrate once this is settled," Alicia returns, clasping his hand.
[22:21] <Kotono> OOC: You're going to rest thent ell everyone in the morning?
[22:23] <Alicia> OOC: yep.
[22:23] <Kotono> -----
[22:24] <Kotono> Sleep is a good thing for Seira - until it's disturbed. As she blinks away the noon light from her eyes, "Seira," Amaryl murmurs, wearing a silk nightgown of blue as she stirs her. "Guards are here." Her voice is quick, "It's about Celebrimbor! They say they found him outside town!"
01[22:24] <Seira> "Found him?"
[22:26] <Kotono> Amaryl nods, "He's alive, but..." Amaryl shakes her head, "He's at the garrison. Commander Oberuth wants you there immediately." Amaryl turns at that point, shrugging out of her nightgown and starting to dress. "I want to go with you, too."
01[22:26] <Seira> "Not even a question," Seira agrees, getting ready swiftly.
[22:27] <Kotono> Dressing quickly, the two come to the garrison. In one of the meeting rooms, Commander Oberuth stands. Sitting in a chair, wrappedin blankets, is Celebrimbor. He stares straight ahead, unseeing and listless.
[22:27] <Kotono> "The guards found him just before dawn," Oberuth reports, gruff-voiced, "He was standing outside the southern walls, shivering.
[22:27] <Kotono> "
01[22:29] <Seira> "Celebrimbor?" Seira asks, kneeling next to the elf's chair. "You managed to escape?"
[22:30] <Kotono> Celebrimbor stares ahead, no reply at all. Oberuth views down at them, "He hsan't responded to anyone. He'll walk if you lead him and sit if you push himd own a bit, but no communication at all."

06[22:32] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+24 and gets 42." [1d20=18]
01[22:35] <Seira> "We have to keep the body alive," Seira says at last, tearing her eyes away from Celebrimbor and standing up. "If we manage to rescue his soul, it should be reversible."
[22:36] <Kotono> "Celebrimbor?" Amaryl says quietly, holding his hands. "Celebrimbor? Scion?" She tries, "Can you hear me? It's Amaryl..."
[22:37] <Kotono> "I'll have him taken care of," Oberuth says quietly, "There was one other thing." Oberuth hands Seira a small wrapped scroll. "This was found on Celebrimbor. It's message is plain."
06[22:37] * Seira unwraps it.
[22:37] <Kotono> Written in Draconic and penned in black ink is the following: YOUR ONLY WARNING.
01[22:39] <Seira> Yes, she's definitely taking Amaryl along. "We're committed," she says out loud. "We'll break the other seals, and bet on the good coming after all the bad. It's not like those seals actually hold our enemies out, so maybe this would inspire the heavens to reciprocate."
[22:41] <Kotono> "It's worth a shot." Oberuth checks Celebrimbor's blankets, then turns. "If I understand what's going on though...all our expectations can go out the window already. Whomever's doing this has found a way to cheat on a cosmic scale. No matter what, we'll have to stop that."
01[22:44] <Seira> "As good a description as any," Seira is forced to agree. "On the one hand, we have that damn Arbiter that seems to worship balance, and on the other we have a group of villains who just don't care. If their counterparts won't cheat back, then we'll just have to alter the reality and open a path for them on our own, the way I see it."
[22:46] <Kotono> "Yes. Also remember, that just removing the seals doesn't fix the cheating or the power they have. It may be a step in the right direction, but I don't expect it to make this all go away. It's on the Crimson Guard." Oberuth looks upward, "I have no doubt about that. Gods only know why, but we're the ones who have to protect everything that matters worth a damn. At the end of the day...we have ourselves."
[22:46] <Kotono>  At the end of the day...we have ourselves."
01[22:48] <Seira> "That's how it is," Seira agrees bitterly. "You know, Sir, it's always easier to accept when you don't have the responsibility of standing between those things and the civilians. When it's just you in the balance, it's easy to take risks, but here...."
[22:50] <Kotono> "I know." Commander Oberuth's fist clenches, "I'm no holy man. I tried reading all those high books and it didn't do anything to help me. What I do know is power, and we have it. What I do know is responsbility, and we have even more of that. The final thing I know is that we're going to bring justice for each and every victim to the wicked. That's what the Crimson Guard will do."
01[22:53] <Seira> "It's time for us to provide another miracle, then," Seira says at that. "And in the meantime, unless Elle is needed directly for the city's defense, could you spare her for a while? We have ancient communication orbs, and waiting before fixing them has proved to be a mistake. We shouldn't delay in that."
[22:54] <Kotono> "So be it." Oberuth looks down at his fist. "Dismissed. Time's wasting and we don't have any more to waste."
06[22:54] * Seira gives Celebrimbor's shell another look, before taking Amaryl's hand. "Let's go," she says quietly. "There's nothing we can do here, at this time."

[19:15] <Tiny_Ko_Army> Titans are wild and chaotic outsiders, livers of life and masters of destiny.  Most are chaotic good, though some drift to chaotic neutral or chaotic evil, such as Melancton.  They possess potent physical powers above even a balor or a pit fiend; they are also greatly gifted with spell like abilities such as quickened chain lightnings, meteor swarm, gate, word of chaos, etherealness, invisibility and other such nasty things.
[19:16] <Tiny_Ko_Army> Lawful weapons are needed to seriously harm them, and stronger ones need epic weapons as well. They have spell resistance but lack the immunities to elements most outsiders have.

03[19:30] * Ebiris is now known as Alicia
[19:31] <Tiny_Ko_Army> The rooms at the garrison are military and clean. Celebrimbor's body sits on the bed, hands folded in his lap. Saul sits next to him, looking into his eyes. After some quiet pause, "This is a reach. It may work or it may not, but..." Standing up, "The question is, what do we ask him?"
[19:33] <Alicia> "Maybe ask where they took him?" Alicia posits, eyeing the soul-less elf uncomfortably. "I don't know that he'd be able to tell us anything useful, though..."
01[19:34] <Seira> "Well, we know a couple of names for those Dark Six, yeah?" Seira says, studiously averting her eyes from Celebrimbor and studying the ceiling. "We can start by asking him if the Six had him captured, and if he can't answer, we'll see if his captors dropped a name or two while addressing each other. Maybe ask if they have more than Claris hostage or prisoner. Ask if they're all undead?
01[19:34] <Seira>  If the captors are in league with demons?"
[19:34] <Tiny_Ko_Army> "I know." Saul smooths his clothes, "This is entirely unexplored territory. Even if it works, they may have taken precautions or simply not let him see anything telling. But Waukeen-damned if it's not better than sitting on our hands."
01[19:34] <Seira> "I wish it could've remained unexplored," Seira mutters.
[19:36] <Tiny_Ko_Army> "A fine start. We'll see from there if he's answering questions," Saul says, bowing his head. "Step back as I intone the magic."
[19:39] <Tiny_Ko_Army> Saul closes his eyes, drawing lines in th eair with his fingers towards the grounds. Circle and pentagrams appear beneath him, scrawled with necromantic symbols. Saul's voice starts to chant, low and rising in tone. "I am Saul! Magic of the Weave, hear my call! Kelemvor, stand aside! Shar, spill your secrets through this mouth! Waukeen, bless this magic! In my name and the name of magic, hear my request!" In words of draconic he calls, a
[19:39] <Tiny_Ko_Army> In words of draconic he calls, as...(More)
[19:41] <Tiny_Ko_Army> Celebrimbor's body buckles, leaning forward. Saul's eyes blaze with black fire, reaching out. "Celebrimbor. Answer me, tell me of what happened to you!"
[19:43] <Tiny_Ko_Army> Celebrimbor's head bobbles forward, "...bleak...black, bleak black bleak black. Bleak black bleak black...bleak...black...nightmare."
[19:44] <Tiny_Ko_Army> Saul reaches out, holding Celebrimbor's shoulder. "What was bleak and black? Where were you taken? Do you know? Another realm? Another plane? Do you know at all?"
[19:45] <Tiny_Ko_Army> "Bleak...bleak...bleak...Bleak...ren....Bleak Rendor...nightmare..." Celebrimbor looks to Saul, "The nightmare of oblivion."
[19:46] <Tiny_Ko_Army> Glancing away a mere moment, "Mean anything to you two?" Saul asks.
06[19:46] * Alicia watches in sick fascination as knowledge is dragged forth from the empty shell. She's seen it done with corpses before, but it was never as disturbing as this. "Bleak Rendor?" she repeats, wracking her brain.
[19:46] <Alicia> OOC: knowledge?

06[19:51] * Alicia bites her lip, dredging up memories. "I heard it in a song once, years ago..." she remarks, thinking hard. "Damn, I can't remember most of what it was about, but the name's definitely familiar. It was something to do with turning life into undeath, a terrible place in the plane of negative energy."
[19:51] <Tiny_Ko_Army> "Another tip towards the Dark Six. A place where a lich would be at home," Saul grimaces, "Celebrimbor, what happened to Claris? Do you know?"
[19:53] <Tiny_Ko_Army> Celebrimbor's body quakes all over. "...taken...to what was...the Neverborn..."
[19:55] <Alicia> "What's the Neverborn?" Alicia asks breathlessly.
[19:56] <Tiny_Ko_Army> OOC: You can make an K:R check if you lik.e
[19:56] <Tiny_Ko_Army> "Neverborn..." Saul bites his lip down, closing his eyes a moment. "It almost..."

[19:57] <Tiny_Ko_Army> "Dammit...I can almost..." Saul curses, "The Neverborn, what is it?"
[20:00] <Tiny_Ko_Army> "What must not be. A crown of chaos, a mantle of death." Celebrimbor's eyes leak tears, "The end. The end. The end. The end. The end. The end. The end. The end. The end. The end. The END THE END THE END THEND!"
01[20:01] <Seira> "Were Celebrimbor and Claris taken to be used as leverage, to trade for the Resorts? Or was that something the captors saw an opportunity for and took? Why do they need the Resorts, anyhow, and do they need more than our two?"
[20:01] <Tiny_Ko_Army> Saul hisses, "It sounds so damned familiar. I've heard that term somewhere before, but I can't remember where." Saul takes a breath, "I'll try those next."
06[20:02] * Alicia cringes a bit at Celebrimbor's crying and droning, but doesn't interrupt.
[20:03] <Tiny_Ko_Army> "Be calm." Saul places a hand on Celebrimbor's shoulder, his quaking body wearin ga mask of terror. "Do you know why they took you and Claris?"
[20:03] <Tiny_Ko_Army> "Tribute...riches...tribute...to...Neverborn..." Celebrimbor looks up to Saul.
[20:04] <Alicia> "It ate their souls," Alicia concludes, horrified. Bad enough when she thought their souls were imprisoned, but this... this is the absolute worst thing imaginable.
01[20:05] <Seira> "Did it, or are they still held somewhere?" Seira asks urgently.
[20:05] <Tiny_Ko_Army> Saul's face becomes utterly calm now, "I understand. Do you know who took you; was it the Dark Six or any named Glaciante Devarim or Adammal?"
[20:08] <Tiny_Ko_Army> "The reaper...the death...the reaper incarnate...a leering skull wearing a crown of hoary white, the jailor."
[20:09] <Tiny_Ko_Army> "Good. You're almost done. Did it ...eat souls, or did it just take them and hold them or...how did you lose your soul?" Saul asks.
[20:10] <Tiny_Ko_Army> "Black...black bleak...bleak...bleak black gem. A million points of darklight...pentagram...of chaos...storms...and...the whore..."
[20:12] <Tiny_Ko_Army> "Any of that register for you?" Saul looks back, "One more question's left, too."
[20:14] <Alicia> "The reaper would be the one we killed yesterday," Alicia remarks. Odd that they found it 'in the wild' so to speak rather than at their jail. "The rest of it's too vague."
[20:15] <Tiny_Ko_Army> "A pentagram of chaos, storms and the whore? Hmph." Saul shakes his head, "Seira, what about you? Anything?"
01[20:17] <Seira> "Why were our five cities targetted?"
[20:19] <Tiny_Ko_Army> Saul repeats that very question! Celebrimbor's head shakes. "Knowledge I know not...unknown knowledge." With that, Celebrimbor's head slumps down, his glazed over eyes returning to normal. Saul falls back onto the bed, propping himself up with his elbows. HIs color is waxen as he slowly sits up. "So what do we have here?"
01[20:20] <Seira> "The hope that Celebrimbor's state is still reversible?"
[20:21] <Tiny_Ko_Army> "Of course we do. Waukeen knows that we'll do that." Rubbing his forehead as he stands slowly, "Let's get some fresh air and talk about this. Bleak Rendor, neverborn, pentagrams of chaos, whores and storms...what does it all mean together?"
01[20:22] <Seira> "Don't forget the million points of darklight, I guess," Seira adds. "Didn't we come across darklight before?"
[20:22] <Alicia> "If there's anything left of his soul, killing this Neverborn thing is the only way to save it. And that's a big if to start with," Alicia states grimly. Now she's really regretting her failed attempt at bargaining with the titan last night. "It showed up in Demedais's prophecies a lot," she nods distractedly to Seira.
01[20:23] <Seira> "Doesn't have to be," Seira voices. "They could've placed it in that gem he mentioned."
[20:24] <Tiny_Ko_Army> As he starts to walk out, a glance back at Celebrimbor, "We need to figure out these mysteries as fast as we can. Bleak Rendor, a place in the negative energy plane where death takes over life. Neverborn I can't put anything on. Chaos seems to be recurring, doesn't it? An entropic reaper is a creature of chaos, and isn't that what we thought Death was?"
[20:26] <Alicia> It's a bit of a stretch but Alicia isn't going to stamp on hope. "Yes," she nods to Saul. "We're going to have to find a way to Bleak Rendor, somehow."
[20:27] <Tiny_Ko_Army> "This makes me wonder if it ties back to the Abyss. Chaos aplenty, negating evil. Further, storms of chaos and evil - that screams Talos, doesn't it? As for whores...well..." With a tired smile, "We know succubi."
01[20:28] <Seira> "Do we actually have a list of temples that were hit in all the cities?" Seira wonders out loud. "Perhaps we were quick in dismissing divine intervention just because it wasn't Torm."
[20:30] <Alicia> "Talos doesn't seem as bad as old scripture paints him," Alicia is compelled to note. "And honestly, Seira, I think Balmuria is the only city 'blessed' with a public temple to an outright evil deity. We're unlikely to find any other unpleasant ones were attacked."
[20:31] <Tiny_Ko_Army> "We could get the Commander to have one for us," Saul says, "He seems the together sort. Also, do you have a copy of this prophecy? If it mentions darklight I'd like very much to read it now."
[20:32] <Alicia> "Demedais had it all written down, we should be able to get a copy at the temple of Helm," Alicia nods.
[20:34] <Tiny_Ko_Army> "Let's get a copy, get a copy of that list from the Commander, gather up any we can think of with the proper learnings and see if any of this clicks together?" Saul remarks as you walk past a window, the morning sunshine cool against the frosted-cold window.  Soldiers walk past, many giving you respect and salutes.
[20:39] <Alicia> "I'll see if I can find Latha and Antenora then we can meet up at Elle's shop with the documents?" Alicia suggests, naming three knowledgable people she knows that are handy.
[20:40] <Tiny_Ko_Army> "I'll see you there," Saul says. OOC: Moving along now?
[20:41] <Alicia> OOC: by all means
[20:43] <Tiny_Ko_Army> Elle still wears black, while Latha and Antenora wear armor and full gear. The group settles into Elle's shop in the back, Saul holding a scroll of parchment. "Alright. We have a defininte mystery here and I think we have several parts of it in front of us. If it were just a children's game, I'd be having fun, but lives and souls are on the line. All of you, lend us your wisdoms so that we can come closer to ending this before it gets an
[20:43] <Tiny_Ko_Army> lend us your wisdoms so that we can come closer to ending this before it gets any worse."
[20:44] <Tiny_Ko_Army> Elle smiles sadly, "Yes. I'll do anything I can to help." Antenora and Latha both quietly voice affirmment as well.
[20:46] <Alicia> "Lets recap what we learned from Celebrimbor first for those who weren't there?" Alicia suggests, before summarising what the soul-less elf told them along with their own suppositions and further points such as what Bleak Rendor could be.

[20:47] <Tiny_Ko_Army> "Neverborn..." Latha very suddenly turns pale, "You said Neverborn?"
[20:48] <Alicia> "You've heard of it?" Alicia asks. She figured if anyone had it would be the three millenia old deva.
01[20:48] <Seira> "Any chance these horrible things have equally-powerful enemies?"
[20:52] <Tiny_Ko_Army> "Once. Lathander's teachings were somewhat..." A momentary repreive of a smile, "Erratic. At times He taught me charms and wards, other times He taught me dire warnings. He said that things live on that hav eno business doing so, cursed. There are ones worse than even a winterwight or a lich or a vampire lord. A Neverborn, a child that never lived. Lathander bid me that by all of the light and that all that would ever be, that if I ever
[20:52] <Tiny_Ko_Army>  Lathander bid me that by all of the light and that all that would ever be, that if I ever heard of one to destroy it."
[20:54] <Alicia> Worse than a winterwight... well, the reaper already came close and it was a mere minion, so perhaps she shouldn't be surprised. "What exactly is it?"
[20:56] <Tiny_Ko_Army> "That I know not. His words were a 'child that never lived'." Latha says, "He spoke with overwhelming gravity and seriousness unsuited to His normal moods."
01[20:57] <Seira> "Just how badly does Lathander want them destroyed?" Seira wonders.
[20:59] <Tiny_Ko_Army> "Greatly, I would think on his words." Latha considers this beforelooking Seira in the eye, eyes blazing with light. "Seldom is Lathander serious."
[21:01] <Tiny_Ko_Army> "This fits," Saul says, "The sections on darklight mention a 'lost child," Unrolling the scroll as he looks ahead, "It definintely fits."
[21:01] <Alicia> "Okay, so we know a little bit more about what the Neverborn is," Alicia tries to move things along, sensing this well has been tapped. "So, what are all the prophecies mentioning darklight? I recall there were several..."
[21:01] <Tiny_Ko_Army> Saul begins to speak...

[21:01] <Tiny_Ko_Army> Lost child will pour lifeblood in darklight

[21:02] <Tiny_Ko_Army> Worn by the smiling child of life
[21:02] <Tiny_Ko_Army> Shall be more powerful than any blade
[21:04] <Tiny_Ko_Army> "Y'know," Antenora clears her throat, "That's yet another time a crown's been mentioned, too. A crown of chaos, a crown of hoary white, a crown of salt and roses. Three of them, no less."
[21:04] <Alicia> "We thought the fairy music one referred to the trapped eladrin children on Androylnne," Alicia points out. "And Noonbreath said that Melancton had crusaded to protect them, prior to his disappearing for six thousand years."
01[21:05] <Seira> "A connection, yes," Seira agrees, listening for the most part.
[21:06] <Tiny_Ko_Army> "But it speaks of a child of life," Elle bows her head, "Whatever is behind thi sis far from a child of life."
[21:07] <Alicia> "The lost child and the child of life are perhaps different beings," Alicia ponders. "Notice how they're grouped, three belonging to five, and three to twelve. They might only be interconnected within each group. But there's still Darklight appearing in each..."
01[21:08] <Seira> "Maybe the two places are literally connected to each other?"
[21:08] <Tiny_Ko_Army> "There's another verse that's relevant, too, Saul speaks it out as well.

[21:11] <Tiny_Ko_Army> Putting the scroll down before steepling his hands together, "A mother and child, perhaps? The mother part is what struck me on reading."
[21:11] <Tiny_Ko_Army> "Two places?" Antenora looks sidelong to Seira, "Well, we know of a place named Bleak Rendor. Do they have another base of operations?"
06[21:11] * Alicia resists the urge to sigh as things grow more complex. Puzzling over obscure prophecies is the domain of grey sages with too much time on their hands. Time is something they really don't have. As she's about to voice her frustration, an idea occurs, "Farthest reaches of the falling... maybe there's a clue at the edge of the bay? Something that'll lead us to the Dark Six?"
01[21:13] <Seira> "No, but we know where the trapped eladrin are, and we know that titan was there, like Alicia said," Seira tells Antenora quietly. "Or there could be something at the bay, perhaps, yes."
[21:15] <Tiny_Ko_Army> "It's a good idea. It definintely has something to do with the sea, no doubt." Saul considers, "We also know Androlynne ties into this somehow. Also...another thing struck me. The only other mention of a woman we have to work with is the 'whore' Celebrimbor mentioned."
[21:17] <Alicia> "Remember this is what Celebrimbor overheard from his captors. It could just be a female servant of theirs that they hold in little esteem," Alicia points out.
[21:20] <Tiny_Ko_Army> "Also, if it's chaos, that puts it down to what, the entire population of succubi in the Abyss?" Antenora chuckles. "Just for starters."
[21:20] <Tiny_Ko_Army> "It may not be connected," Saul admits, "I'm drawing castles in the air and seeing which ones don't fall over."
[21:22] <Tiny_Ko_Army> "It could also mean it has something to do with the Fairest Star," Elle coughs, clearing her throat thickly before she goes on. "If this doesn't work, the dragon Ajan knows more about it than any other I can think of."
06[21:23] * Alicia nods. "Unlike Neverborn it's a very common and not very evocative term, so it helps little," she tells Saul before considering Elle's words. "It's worth a shot going over things with him and seeing what he says."
[21:24] <Tiny_Ko_Army> "Try those things?" Saul says at last, "We'll continue pouring over this, but if some of us investigate leads at the same time.."
01[21:24] <Seira> "We're bound to come across Ajan soon enough, so that at least is easily achieved," Seira agrees.
[21:27] <Alicia> "I could fly out to the edge of the bay and see if the Bitch Queen chooses to abate her hate and show anything helpful, today," Alicia offers. "If anything comes up here, Jessica can summon me back."
[21:29] <Tiny_Ko_Army> OOC: Okay, Seira into #evil then?

[21:29] <Tiny_Ko_Army> ---
[21:30] <Tiny_Ko_Army> OOC: Which entrance to the ruins are you taking?
01[21:30] <Seira> OOC: Let's go with flair and take the sea-based one.
[21:33] <Tiny_Ko_Army> Thus Seira takes to the sea! She swims into the ruins, passing through the eternal halls! Past the destroyed undead beehive, past rooms and through the magics! Seira thus enters the room of Ajan. He is facing her, looking to her. "You have come, Seira." He intones, the room rumbling with his voice.
01[21:33] <Seira> "Hello," she greets the ancient dragon. "How has it been?"
[21:34] <Tiny_Ko_Army> "Another attempted to force the ruins. He is no more." Ajan's nostrils flare with smoke, "Your quest for the Resorts continues?"
01[21:36] <Seira> "We've gathered them," Seira informs him. "We plan on coming in force tomorrow, and seeing if we could help free you, but there's some trouble back home that's preventing us from that. It's possible your visitor was related to this. Was it something undead, by chance?"
[21:38] <Tiny_Ko_Army> "So the time looms close..." Ajan says, "It was a vampire." After that his head comes close to SEira, almost close enough to breath smoke onto her. "BUt listen to me now, and listen well, Seira."
01[21:38] <Seira> "All ears!"
[21:40] <Tiny_Ko_Army> "The fourth seal may be broken. When the fifth one is, bring all you care and fight with along with you for the breaking, for great blessings shall come...but only break it when it is time. For when the fifth seal is broken, the battle with the God-King draws nigh. The sixth door shall open and to it your destinies."
06[21:43] * Seira nods to that. "Not something to take lightly, I understand. We were hoping to find aid with our problem with those invading undead from the negative energy plane, but opening all the seals may not be what we need right now. Any chance you could help us get rid of that obstacle, Ajan? It's a group hailing from Bleak Rendor and connected to the Neverborn."
[21:44] <Tiny_Ko_Army> "The Neverborn..." Ajan's scales seem to shimmer with pure heat, rolling off of him. "I know of what you speak of, Seira. But...are you sure this is what you desire? What they are is a blasphemy to all the Gods that be."
01[21:46] <Seira> "Desire? Not so much. But these god-hating freaks are attacking our world and abducting our people. Those they don't kill and convert into more fodder. And they've shown a strong interest in the Resorts, which made us think you might know something. We can't just ignore this situation."
[21:49] <Tiny_Ko_Army> "Very well. Of Ao, the Overgod, one of his dominions is to decide if a being is worthy of divinity. It is his choice and his choice alone. No God can live that he does not accept. This includes those mortals that seek to ascend past the limits of mere existance. Those that fail...are cast down, becoming mummy-kin known as Hunefer, cursed by Ao. But it is not a Hunefer we speak of, Seira. There is another that Ao judges."
01[21:51] <Seira> "Those who are about to be born as gods?" she guesses.
[21:52] <Tiny_Ko_Army> "Ao judges the children of the Gods as well. Should a child of the Gods be chosen as unworthy...Ao's curse falls on them. They are ripped from the mother's womb, cast away from the Outer Planes forever. These cursed, lost children are known as Neverborn. Divine children, slain befor ethey could be born and sentenced by Ao to live for all time with no hope of salvation."
01[21:53] <Seira> Ao sounds like a pretty horrible being, Seira muses to herself. "If they're slain, how can they still affect reality so badly?" she asks the dragon.
[21:55] <Tiny_Ko_Army> "They live on, as unborn fetuses touched with undeath. Why Ao allows them to continue to exist I know not, but...the curse of Ao prevents the Gods from interfering with them. Legend says that most atrophy forever, lost of all hope. But not all."
01[21:56] <Seira> "So some do reach a sort of horrible consciousness, and they emrbace their nature?"
[21:56] <Tiny_Ko_Army> "Yes, in essence." Ajan agrees.
01[21:57] <Seira> "Then the question becomes, how do I find them, how do I kill them, and who can help me with that." Seira blinks. "Three questions, actually, but you know...."
[21:59] <Tiny_Ko_Army> "The Gods cannot interfere with a Neverborn because of Ao's curse. Mortal beings are not so limited. As to finding them...they cannot enter the Outer Planes. They must be in the inner or material planes."
01[22:01] <Seira> "I wonder if that Bleak Rendor is where I would find my enemy," she muses out loud. "I don't suppose you'd be able to point me in the right direction? It's not easy to find guides for the negative energy plane."
[22:06] <Tiny_Ko_Army> "I do not, though I have heard of it. I know of this process of divinity well, for the God-King perverted it with the Fairest Star. It is deep in the realm of negative energy...one will need a powerful guide of death to lead ou into it. Further..." Looking to Seira, "Do you know who the parents of the Neverborn are? Do you know of it's apothesis?"
06[22:09] * Seira starts to shake her head, before she pauses, and recites the relevant information gained by the limited wish spell. "There might be some prophecy alluding to the parents, but I'm not good at prophecies," she adds afterwards. "Still, how about Shar? I don't like Shar, can we go with that?"
[22:11] <Tiny_Ko_Army> "No, for...I have an idea." Ajan rumbles all over, "I believe I have a possibility. It is said that Talos, the Stormfather, sired children in the Abyss. Most were born as powerful half fiends, not enough for him. He sought to consort with the vilest of the Abyss for stronger children."
01[22:14] <Seira> "So the child, if belonging to him, would be vulnerable to... and that's as much as I could follow," Seira admits. "I mean, it's an evil god of storms, right? Does this tell me using lightning is a bad idea?"
[22:16] <Tiny_Ko_Army> "No. He consorted with the most vile woman in all the Abyss, the rising Queen of Succubi...yet I never heard of a child coming from it, yet it is said that there was indeed a child in the darkest whispers."
[22:17] <Tiny_Ko_Army> OOC: Gah, premature.
[22:17] <Tiny_Ko_Army> "No. He consorted with the most vile woman in all the Abyss, the rising Queen of Succubi...yet I never heard of a child coming from it, yet it is said that there was indeed a child in the darkest whispers." Now looking to Seira, "If this is true, you have two who have an interest in the Neverborn and can aid you further."
01[22:19] <Seira> "I'll, uh, consider sending Malcanthet a note," Seira says delicately.
[22:20] <Tiny_Ko_Army> "Talos may be more productive, but the choice is yours of allies and information to seek." Ajan says.
01[22:21] <Seira> "He could just send his minions to impede us, I suppose, but the risk's worth taking," Seira muses. "Especially if it is the Dark Six who are involved. They hate all gods, and that would include him, right?"


[19:32] <Kolunch> > "No. He consorted with the most vile woman in all the Abyss, the rising Queen of Succubi...yet I never heard of a child coming from it, yet it is said that there was indeed a child in the darkest whispers." Now looking to Seira, "If this is true, you have two who have an interest in the Neverborn and can aid you further."
[19:32] <Kolunch> <Seira> "I'll, uh, consider sending Malcanthet a note," Seira says delicately.

[19:32] <Kolunch> "Talos is a God, yes," Ajan answers.
01[19:33] <Seira> "I kno-- I mean, yes." Seira nods quickly. "We'll definitely try that direction, thanks!"
[19:34] <Kolunch> "Good fortune to you." Neck extending back and away from Seira now, "I believe that if any can overcome a Neverborn, it will be the ones to defeat the God-King."
01[19:35] <Seira> "Come to think of it, did anyone ever do this? Overcome a Neverborn?"
[19:37] <Kolunch> "They are creatures of legend. I have heard that heroes long ago did once, but it is a dreadful task. Even cursed and Neverborn, such a child possesses awesome power."
01[19:39] <Seira> "I don't suppose you'd remember who, or how?"

01[19:45] <Seira> "It might not provide answers to us in time, but at least that should keep the scholarly types busy and focused," Seira muses. "Thank you again, Ajan."
[19:45] <Kolunch> The great red dragon rumbles his assent. OOC: Returning to Balmuria onw?

---

[21:29] <Tiny_Ko_Army> "WAnt company?" Antenora asks as Alicia prepares to go.
[21:30] <Alicia> roll 1d20+14 religion what sacrifices does Umberlee like?
06[21:30] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+14 religion what sacrifices does Umberlee like? and gets 32." [1d20=18]
[21:32] <Tiny_Ko_Army> Umberlee is vain and greedy. Wealth and beauty offered to her pleases her.
[21:32] <Tiny_Ko_Army> Anything along those lines. More evil inclined sorts would sacrifice, but y'know.
[21:33] <Alicia> "It would be nice, but it's too risky," Alicia apologises. "Better for you to be here in case trouble comes up, since Jessica's bracelet will only be able to call me back."
[21:34] <Tiny_Ko_Army> "Understood," Antenora nods briefly, "I'll be around in case anything happens here then."
[21:35] <Alicia> "I'll teleport back when I'm done but it'll take me a few hours to fly that far. Hopefully I'll return around midday," Alicia tells her friend, before taking flight and flying North!
[21:36] <Tiny_Ko_Army> Thus Alicia flies! The snow has stopped, the rims of the bay crusted with snow. Thus Alicia flies to the outermost point of the bay, blue and green water lapping against each other. The passage into the greater sea is ahead, the sun shining watery, weak winter sunshine down.
[21:42] <Alicia> Reaching the Western side of the bay's mouth, Alicia hovers in the air about twenty feet above the water and opens up her money-pouch. "Queen of the Depths, hear me!" she calls out to the waves, disliking the idea of petitioning such a deity but resolved to do so. "In your name I give this sacrifice freely!"
[21:42] <Alicia> She starts casting glittering platinum coins to the surf below, a fortune squandered in moments. "Take of my offering and show the way!"
[21:42] <Tiny_Ko_Army> OOC: How much?
[21:42] <Alicia> OOC: 1,000gp tossed away
[21:46] <Tiny_Ko_Army> The coins fall into th eocean! They splash in, each one lost into the sea! Alicia's vision begins to haze over, shimmering with indistinct light. Below, she looks at solid land, a seashore full of forest just beyond it's beaches.
[21:48] <Alicia> Slowing the rate of her flapping, Alicia descends down, testing her feet on this new land beneath her.
[21:49] <Tiny_Ko_Army> The ground is solid. As she does, she finds that above, a great light begins to shine.
06[21:51] * Alicia settles her feet on the ground, looking up at the sky. An idea starts to form, recognition of what she's being shown...
[21:54] <Tiny_Ko_Army> Above, the sky is transfixed into light! Glorious light, light that Alicia knows has little equal. It is as if the sun itself was crashing down to the world. It engulfs everything above, racing downward!
[21:55] <Alicia> This isn't what she expected - she was expecting to find a portal or somesuch, not a vision of the past. But now that she's here Alicia remains transfixed, watching as the Fairest Star falls to Earth...
[22:00] <Tiny_Ko_Army> It is the most beautiful thing Alicia has seen. It races down and down and down and down and down...and yet...her vision is pulled. Far away, in the trees...a man of death stands. His skin is like dead parchment, a black orb in his hands. A field of silver and white energy encases him, as well as another. A tiny baby, yet far too large. It's dead skin is beautiful, one eye scarred over. The other is a thrilling dead black, staring ahead.
06[22:05] * Alicia is sufficiently distracted from the instrument of Daa-vid's apotheosis by the sight of these strangers. Are they watching this remotely as she is, or where they there the first time? The man looks like a lich if ever she saw one, does that mean the infant is the Neverborn? Uncertainly, she steps towards them, unsure what she'll even do if she reaches them.
[22:05] <Alicia> Assuming the Fairest Star doesn't impact first.
[22:06] <Tiny_Ko_Army> The man falls back, the field of light starting to shatter as the Fairest Star falls! "It cannot...withstand...even the Curse..." He says in a voice like drying death. "We must not stay."
[22:08] <Tiny_Ko_Army> The child floats in the air, one rotted hand reaching up, It speaks in your mind, speaking about, 'To the south...to the south while there is time. Our plans are not ruined yet.'
06[22:09] * Alicia picks up her pace. What curse? She's now reasonably sure that she's seeing these two in the past, and has less fear of getting closer in order to overhear. How might things have been different if these two had gotten to it before a certain gnome? She cannot say if it would be better or worse, knowing the horrors both are capable of.
[22:09] <Alicia> "Where in the South?" she finds herself asking, sensing this is the lead Umberlee was meant to show her.
[22:14] <Tiny_Ko_Army> Thus Alicia watches and follows! The two zoom ahead, Alicia's vision following! Past mountains...past grasslands, past forests...to the ocean. Thus the two descend into the waves...and seconds later, the shore turns black. A scream is heard, as the ground dies, twisting. The land dies, wasteland spreading in a moment's breath.
06[22:17] * Alicia spins around from the black sea to the dying land racing behind her. Aren't these the wastes South of the desert? Didn't Seira and Demedais say it was made that way by the battles with Daa-vid? Completing her spin she stares at the charnel surf, stepping towards it. Is there redoubt here? Is this where they'll find the Dark Six, or at least some of them?
[22:18] <Tiny_Ko_Army> The sky above is clear. Alicia hovers over the Bay of Sparkling Stars, a feeling of...jealousy? A feeling of envy and jealous lingering in her mind. An irrational, consuming hatred that vanishes like a moment's stomach gas.
[22:21] <Alicia> Jealous? Why would the Goddess of the Sea feel jealous over a misbegotten undead thing like that? It's the only source Alicia can ascribe to the feeling, but she's not sure why. "If you're jealous of those beings, Bitch Queen, be comforted by their impending demise," Alicia mutters, before uttering the magic to teleport herself back to Balmuria's garrison.
[22:21] <Alicia> roll 1d100
06[22:21] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d100 and gets 45." [1d100=45]

[19:46] <Kolunch> -----------
[19:46] <Kolunch> Seira and Alicia return to Elle's shop. The others wait for them there, lunch scattered about as well as several old tomes. Once inside, "How'd it go?" Saul looks up. "Turn up anything interesting?"
01[19:49] <Seira> "So Ao, being all-around nasty, apparently terminated the baby of Talos and Malcanthet before it could even be born, which is our Neverborn. Or so Ajan thinks."

03[19:49] * Nabuu is now known as Seira
[19:49] <Kolunch> Seira and Alicia return to Elle's shop. The others wait for them there, lunch scattered about as well as several old tomes. Once inside, "How'd it go?" Saul looks up. "Turn up anything interesting?"
03[19:49] * ChanServ sets mode: +o Seira
[19:49] <Ebiris> "It's probably best if I show you so you can see for yourselves," Alicia suggests, standing back and casting a spell that envelops the room in an illusion which repeats the exact same scene she was shown by Umberlee, from the falling of the Fairest Star, to the conversation between lich and neverborn, to the swift passage to Southern shores of death.
01[19:50] <Seira> "So Ao, being all-around nasty, apparently terminated the baby of Talos and Malcanthet before it could even be born, which is our Neverborn. Or so Ajan thinks," Seira says for her part, before summarizing the other highlights of the conversation.
03[19:50] * Ebiris is now known as Alicia
[19:52] <Kolunch> Latha watches the illusion, her expression turning sickened.
[19:52] <Kolunch> "Talos and Malcanthet?" Antenora's drips with disdain, "I would think that shows Ao has fine sense, besides the part about it coming back as Neverborn."
[19:53] <Kolunch> Elle looks to the image, "A lich...and that too large baby, that's the Neverborn," she murmurs, closing her eyes and turning away. "It's disgusting."
01[19:53] <Seira> "I'm sorry, I think you lost me at the part where he allowed it to come back."
06[19:53] * Alicia doesn't reply to Seira until she's done with her own little performance. "Clearly Ao didn't do a very good job, then," she remarks, rather disgusted by the situation, visions of Mystra swollen with child only for a bloody undead fetus to be ripped from her belly and hurled across the planes rising unbidden to mind.
[19:54] <Kolunch> "The only right and merciful thing is to put it to sleep." Latha looks away from the image as it finishes, "And punish the lich and all the others who supported it."
01[19:55] <Seira> "And see Talos about providing some help, even though he's not allowed to intervene directly. How about it?"
[19:55] <Alicia> "Umberlee has shown us the way," Alicia states at that. "I'm confident I can teleport us to the spot I was shown - even with two thousand years the land can't have changed much. We'll either find an abandoned outpost of the Dark Six, perhaps holding clues, or it will still be active and therefore give us a chance to strike a blow at their forces."
[19:56] <Kolunch> "Then it's a matter of who does what," Saul smooths his shirt, "To find Talos while another group explores this base."
01[19:58] <Seira> "Taking the more direct approach appeals to me," Seira comments.
[19:59] <Alicia> "I'm not sure how helpful Talos could be, if the Gods are unable to directly act against such beings. The neverborn was cursed and banished before it could even be born, so the Stormlord most likely has never even known it," Alicia points out. And asking the mother is even less of an option.
01[20:00] <Seira> "You never know until you ask, really."
[20:04] <Alicia> "How, then?" Alicia asks. "Do we even know where Talos dwells? I had thought Pandemonium, but I have the feeling he's changed perhaps as much as Torm since scriptures were first written."
[20:04] <Alicia> She then pauses and looks at the two outsiders who haven't been kept out of the loop on outer planar goings on unlike everyone else in this world.
[20:05] <Kolunch> "I had been curious on that myself," Latha says, "I hear that Limbo has a new divine realm, a realm called Season's Heart. His old realm was Fury's Heart."
01[20:06] <Seira> "Yes, very subtle," Seira agrees. "Anyone interested in visiting it, by chance?"
[20:07] <Kolunch> "No." Antenora's complexion turns waxen, "Limbo is a place I would need a truly catastrophic reason to visit."
[20:08] <Kolunch> "I'm curious now," Saul nods to Seira, "I would not mind going and seeing this new realm with my own eyes."
[20:08] <Alicia> "This perhaps qualifies, but it's true you're not the best ambassador in this case," Alicia comments delicately in response to Antenora.
01[20:08] <Seira> "Don't get abducted," Seira tells her father.
[20:10] <Kolunch> "Are the two of you going to investigate this base?" Saul asks, "I'll want company, traveling the planes alone is a foolhardy venture."
[20:10] <Alicia> "If you like I could ask Dawnhope or Marielle to go with you," Alicia offers to Saul. "They're perhaps the closest we have to native guides on that side of the Great Wheel. Perhaps Eudard could be persuaded to go as well? He's had dealings with Talos, I understand."
[20:11] <Kolunch> "Eudard is a good guardian," Saul's voice is thoughtful, "Marielle, she's your familiar?"
06[20:12] * Alicia nods. "She's very competent despite her carefree demeanour, and she always carries several banishing arrows that could be used to quickly retreat from Limbo if it became necessary."
[20:14] <Kolunch> "I'll take her," Saul decides, "Latha, if you could manage the transport there to conserve my own magic for the trip back?"

01[20:22] <Seira> "I'll see if I can borrow the Sun Blade, then, just in case," Seira says, agreeing with the plan at hand.
[20:25] <Kolunch> OOC: So Saul/Latha/Marie/Alicia/Seira/Eudard are going to Season's heart, then Seira/Latha/Alicia are going to the shore?
[20:25] <Alicia> OOC: Anty, too
[20:27] <Kolunch> OOC: Antenora too? Okay. Seira, you're borrowing Amaryl's Sun Blade?
01[20:28] <Seira> OOC: Yes, unless Amaryl wants to be borrowed instead.
[20:29] <Kolunch> OOC: She can go with you if you like, depending on how you wanna spread your forces. Your call, Seira.
01[20:29] <Seira> OOC: Sure let's go
[20:31] <Kolunch> Thus seven gather together at Elle's shop. Arms and armor are had, the party prepared. "If everyons ir eady," Latha call,s "Join hands."
[20:31] <Kolunch> Amaryl stays close to Seira as she does so, "Season's Heart..." she murmurs, "It sounds almost festive, somehow."
06[20:32] * Alicia obligingly does so, as does her familiar.
06[20:32] * Seira shrugs. "Better than anything fury-themed, that's for sure?"
[20:33] <Kolunch> With a shift, the party is gone! You appear in a hot desert. Heat beats down as the sky clouds over. Rainclouds come, grass springing up as water cascades down to the ground.
[20:33] <Kolunch> OOC: Gah.
[20:33] <Kolunch> With a shift, the party is gone! You appear in a hot desert. Heat beats down as the sky clouds over. Rainclouds come, grass springing up as water cascades down to the ground. A wind blows, cooling rapidly, bits of steam rising from the grassy sand.  The air becomes thick with moisure, humid.
[20:34] <Alicia> "Hey, I like this place already," Marie floats down to the grass growing from sandy desert, before circling up to position herself between Saul and Eudard. "So, which way will we go, first?"
[20:35] <Kolunch> Antenora sneezes, raising a hand over her face to shield from the rain. "Good luck, the three of you. Let's go."
[20:35] <Kolunch> Saul looks about and shrugs, "We'll search and find a settlement or non hostile residents and find more information there." Meanwhile Eudard wipes his face of the rain, which splatters off his steel armor.
[20:36] <Alicia> "Don't offend any deities," Alicia tells her familiar as they close ranks into a smaller circle for the return trip.
01[20:36] <Seira> "You know, it just occured to me," Seira has to point out. "We're in Limbo, aren't we? And without a catastrophic reason, too!"
[20:36] <Kolunch> "We make great sacrifices for what's right," Antenora sneezes again, sniffling and rubbing her nose.
06[20:37] * Seira laughs.
[20:37] <Alicia> "No, we're neck deep in a catastrophe and this is a lead on getting out of it," Alicia corrects. "Good luck you three," she calls as Marie waves back.

[Corwin]

[20:38] <Kolunch> ---
[20:39] <Kolunch> As the rain continues to fall, "Marie, you can fly," Saul asks, "Could you go up and see if anything's nearby? As long as it's raining -a nd with Limbo it's anyone's guess how long - visibility's poor."
[20:41] <Alicia> "This isn't like wild Limbo, at least," Marie comments happily as she nods and zips up a few hundred feet to take a look around their surroundings.
[20:47] <Kolunch> In the ripping rain, Marie can see a stone house ahead. It's made of multicolored stones, like a wet rainbow in the growing downpour.
[20:48] <Alicia> The eladrin then flies back down to rejoin the two men in her life. "I saw a house that way," she points. "Very colourful, it looked nice!"
[20:51] <Kolunch> As the party walks in that direction, Eudard shielding his face and peering ahead, "Better than what I imagined Talos' realm would be...though the heavy rain still fits."
[20:52] <Kolunch> Saul walks ahead, pace brisk. "We'll find out exactly how different from our imaginations soon. We can chatter once we're out of the rain. Time is important."
03[20:53] * Mystia is now known as Mystia_GhostFood
03[20:58] * Laggy (~Laggy@64-71-1-82.static.wiline.com) has joined #evildunes
03[20:58] * ChanServ sets mode: +o Laggy
[20:58] <Kolunch> Thus you reach the house - colorful stones bounce off water, a  stone door barring further entry in. It's about the size of a small house, unremarkable besides teh coloration. Saul goes to the door and knocks.
[20:58] <Alicia> Marie happily follows along, hovering just over Saul's shoulder.
[20:59] <Kolunch> The door opens! Answering is a vaguely menancing, vast creature. It fills up the door three times over, a terrible odor coming from it. The hezrou looks down, rumbling low in it's throat. "What do you want?"
[21:01] <Alicia> Marie chokes in surprise, almost reaching for her bow before she restrains herself. It's a follower of Talos, not any demon lord, so maybe it's like an uglier smellier Antenora? She can but hope...
[21:02] <Kolunch> Saul puts a hand over his mouth, "We're looking for Talos." He grimaces, "Or his court, or a someone who can speak for him. We have a matter of supreme interest to him."
[21:03] <Kolunch> Eudard has his hand on his blade, besides Saul and silent, face a mask of displeasure.
[21:04] <Kolunch> "Keep going thataways," He jerks a thumb at the horizon, where snow is beginning to fall on a stony, grassy field. "You'll know it when you see it."
[21:04] <Alicia> Visualising the creature as alike to her erinyes friend has helped Marie enough that she can give the demon a faint smile. "Thanks, you're a sweetheart!" she assures him brightly.
[21:10] <Kolunch> The creature grunts and closes the door behind him. Saul immediately makes pace, "Come now," he says, "The sooner the better, I think."
[21:12] <Alicia> Marie nods and flies along. "He wasn't terribly friendly, but I guess Antenora used to be like that, too. I'm sure deep down he's really nice."
[21:12] <Kolunch> "Perhaps," Saul says as the sun comes out, the storm passing, "He was likely dragged along with Talos if anything."
[21:13] <Alicia> "If he really wanted to stay evil he could've went back to the Abyss," Marie nods sagely.

[Corwin]

[19:08] <Kotono> <Alicia> Marie chokes in surprise, almost reaching for her bow before she restrains herself. It's a follower of Talos, not any demon lord, so maybe it's like an uglier smellier Antenora? She can but hope...
[19:08] <Kotono> > Saul puts a hand over his mouth, "We're looking for Talos." He grimaces, "Or his court, or a someone who can speak for him. We have a matter of supreme interest to him."
[19:08] <Kotono> > Eudard has his hand on his blade, besides Saul and silent, face a mask of displeasure.
[19:08] <Kotono> > "Keep going thataways," He jerks a thumb at the horizon, where snow is beginning to fall on a stony, grassy field. "You'll know it when you see it."
[19:08] <Kotono> <Alicia> Visualising the creature as alike to her erinyes friend has helped Marie enough that she can give the demon a faint smile. "Thanks, you're a sweetheart!" she assures him brightly.
[19:08] <Kotono> > The creature grunts and closes the door behind him. Saul immediately makes pace, "Come now," he says, "The sooner the better, I think."
[19:09] <Kotono> <Alicia> Marie nods and flies along. "He wasn't terribly friendly, but I guess Antenora used to be like that, too. I'm sure deep down he's really nice."
[19:09] <Kotono> > "Perhaps," Saul says as the sun comes out, the storm passing, "He was likely dragged along with Talos if anything."
[19:09] <Kotono> <Alicia> "If he really wanted to stay evil he could've went back to the Abyss," Marie nods sagely.
[19:13] <Kotono> The travels ahead are long. You go through blizzards, ice storms, rain, driving rain, winds, dryness, heat, cold, grasslands, mountains, rocky islands, beaches, savanna, thin air, depressions and more.  The terrain is constantly altering, constantly moving.  But after some long time of this, the party ranging from baked to soaked to frozen to parched,  the world around you changes. You stand in an ancient circle of stones, crude stone bloc
[19:13] <Kotono> You stand in an ancient circle of stones, crude stone blocks forming a vast ring. Storms play in the sky, lightning the size of dragons clashing far above.  Standing before you is a slaad - electric yellow, murmuring. In his words are thunderclaps and lightning flashes. These words speak to you, speaking of endless mysteries of cyclic change.  The creature is as large as one of the stone slabs, towering over the party.
[19:14] <Kotono> Eudard stands ahead of Saul, sword undrawn but shield raised. He regards the creature coolly, "We seek Talos, to seek his council on a grave matter involving him."
[19:17] <Alicia> "It's super-important," Marie seconds, floating between the two men and projecting inoffensiveness. "We wouldn't dream of disturbing the Stormlord if it wasn't."
[19:19] <Kotono> With the whispers of titanic sonic clashes of thunder leaking from it's mouth in a torrential buffet of sound, the slaad speaks of Progression. In the skies duels of lightning bolts rage, forming into shapes. Creatures mundane, exotic, legendary and unknown are all seen, in endless dances of war. With it's hand crackling with the eye of ball lightning, it extends it's hand out to Marie, utterly dwarfing her.
[19:20] <Kotono> Saul's voice is low, yet carries to Marie with precise words. "Chaos calls to chaos, perhaps?"
[19:21] <Alicia> Either that or it's hungry. Slaad are notorious devourers of unwary courre. Still, they won't get far by showing hesitation at this stage, and she's far from an ordinary example of her rank. Fluttering forward, she alights her feet on the creature's outstretched palm.
[19:23] <Kotono> Like a rocket into the heavens, Marie ascends up! She is thrust into the endless war of thunder! As she does, the slaad speaks of Meeting. Around her a dragon is bitten apart by a titanic lizard-king, while an angel is sent flying by an eye tyrant, crashing through a wobbling naga. The slaadi speaks of..."SPEAK."
[19:28] <Alicia> It's probably best that she's been designated for this. Being the familiar to an incredibly charismatic paladin does wonders for her own social skills. Keeping herself calm and her voice collected, she gets to the point - beating about the bush surely won't win points here.
[19:28] <Alicia> "The Prime Material where Daa-vid is sealed is currently under assault by a cabal of ancient liches and their servants. These liches themselves pay homage to a Neverborn cursed by Ao..." she can't help but hesitate on the next part, aware that it's rather impolite, but it's too late to back out now.
[19:28] <Alicia> "We believe the Neverborn is the result of a dalliance between the Storm Lord and the Queen of Succubi."
[19:30] <Kotono> Wind. The wind is what speaks. Marie goes flying, the slaad vanishing as you are hurtled into the sky! Saul and Eudard come rocketing with you, nary a scream as the three of you progress forward! It is the endless journey that lasts forever, over before you can breath a single breath. (More)
[19:33] <Kotono> Ahead of you lies a throne. A throne made of stormclouds and thunder, of snow and rain, of fog and ground and earth and everything. The throne is as large as the Baronies eight times over, stretching far and yet so small as to be seen fully by Marie's eyes. Around the three of you stand Elements - rain, fire, sun, fog, snow, parch, more. They are bodies, but they are what they are. Marie simply understands by looking at them, the knowledge
[19:33] <Kotono> Marie simply understands by looking at them, the knowledge as natural as knowing a mother's face. This calvacade surrounds the throne, each speaking. Each one speaks of what they are, creating an endless din of everything.  (More)
[19:37] <Kotono> In one hand, the one who sits on the throne holds in one hand the green fields and forests of Balmuria, full of life. In the other he holds the Wastelands, dead and frozen. One eye is an empty oblivion, the other teams with rainbow life. In a voice that masters and directs the din of everything around you, overawing Marie to her soul and beyond, "You have audience. Speak."
[19:38] <Kotono> The clank of Eudard's armor is easily lost in the din, as he falls to his knees and bows his head. Saul does much the same, "We beileve your child, spawn of Malcanthet, is with the Dark Six, interfering with the matters on Earth."
[19:41] <Alicia> Technically it's not spawn since it never had a chance to be spawned... Marie jumps in before Eudard can piss off the god of storms. "We are not certain, but we have had indications from multiple sources of the Neverborn's parentage," she interjects.
[19:41] <Alicia> "We were hoping, given the unnatural destruction it is fostering and its attempts at interfering with Daa-vid's imprisonment, that you might have some wisdom that could help us, Lord of Storms."
[19:46] <Kotono> "So be it." With that, wisdom flows into Marie's mind! Understanding blossoms instantly as she grasps a truth...The Neverborn will be surrounded by an aura of the utmost negation. Only the hardiest souls can survive within a hundred feet of it, and even they are utterly crippled without protections against negative energy. To face it without such is the greatest folly imaginable. Death Ward at the minimum will be absolutely needed.
[19:46] <Kotono>  Death Ward at the minimum will be absolutely needed.
[19:46] <Kotono> Saul murmurs, "I see..." he whispers, "To wound the Neverborn..." he murmurs, "Thank you, Storm God."
[19:51] <Alicia> Marie is startled by the sudden influx of knowledge. It's not what she expected, but it's very practical and useful, so she shouldn't be at all surprised. At Saul's words she wonders if Talos has granted each of the three a different piece of the puzzle.
[19:51] <Alicia> "Thank you," she nods earnestly. It's a sensible precaution against undead, but she knows Alicia may have decided to just tough it out and count on her innate strength of spirit to see her through. Now they know better. She then wonders what to say next. Somehow 'We'll gut your undead abomination of a son like a pig' doesn't cut it, even for a forthright deity.
[19:51] <Alicia> "We'll put this knowledge to good use," she temporises. "On behalf of Mystra, and the entire Prime Material, I thank you." Even though it wouldn't be needed at all if he had kept it in- with a vast effort of will she cuts off that thought and forces herself to think of something different. Dear Mystra, she's going to get them killed!
[19:53] <Kotono> He reaches forward. Thunder and lighting touch Eudard, racing to his sword! Eudard screams soundlessly, as, "Servant of Helm, take this as a boon, for I owe Helm a debt. This blade will cut true, even against the Neverborn."
[19:55] <Alicia> Marie recalls watching Alicia being split apart by a tremendous blade of lightning before her body was regenerated as she accepted the blessing of the Storm in those ruins. He may have changed his ways somewhat, but she'd certainly never call Talos gentle.
[20:00] <Kotono> Eudard falls to his knees all over again, drawing his blade with a shaking hand. It is as if lighting was formed into a sword, crackling and hissing. Lightning dances amid the blade, metal gone and forgotten. Eudard looks up with a shaking head, "T-thank you...s-storm lord," he manages.
[20:03] <Alicia> That's pretty neat. Marie idly wonders how it now compares to Demedais's recently Helm empowered sword, or Alicia's Kossuth empowered one. Or Seira's font of creation powered one, for that matter. My, she does know lots of people with impressive swords, doesn't she?
[20:04] <Kotono> "Be warned - Malcanthet will have interest in this matter as well. If you choose to parley with her, be warned, for she is a serpent terrible. Should you ignore her, be warned, for her machinations and view reach far." At that, it is gone. The three of you stand in open fields, the cold winter air blowing around you, half melted snow here and there. Far away, you can see Balmuria's western gate.
[20:06] <Kotono> Saul takes a few breaths and stands up, dusting himself off, "I know how to wound the Neverborn now, but it won't be easy." Saul says, "How about the two of you?"
[20:06] <Alicia> "I don't think any of us really want to go cap in hand to the Queen of the Succubi for help, do we?" Marie asks as they return to the Prime. "Talos told me that anyone within a hundred feet of the thing would be crippled without protections against negative energy, even if they're strong enough to avoid being killed alright."
[20:08] <Kotono> "Not particularly," Eudard is silent, walking slowly behind the rest of you. Saul is speaking as he looks to the clear sky. "Though the second half of his warning is worth weighing. One way or another, Malcanthet will make herself nosy, won't she?"
[20:10] <Alicia> Wouldn't be the first time, but Marie isn't inclined to go blabbing that around freely. "We can deal with that, I'm sure. So, how do we hurt the thing if we've not been gifted with an incredible sword of divine lightning?"
[20:11] <Kotono> "It's two fold." Saul ticks off fingers, "First of all, it must be a weapon beyond that of normal mortal construction. A weapon made of true might and true magic unknown to all but the greatest craftsmen to ever live. Secondly, the weapon must be alive."
[20:13] <Alicia> "Well, Alicia's got a sword that was made be a mighty planetar, that was then empowered by the God of fire, and it possesses as much a sentient will as you or I. Does that count?" Marie asks hopefully as she flutters along back to Balmuria.
[20:14] <Kotono> "I'm not sure ,but it's on the right track I'm sure." At this, Eudard shakes his head and picks up his pace.
[20:14] <Kotono> "I know a third part," he interjects, "Allow me to share this wisdom."
[20:14] <Alicia> "Go ahead?" Marie turns to Eudard, smiling invitingly.
[20:16] <Kotono> "Any cursed undead close to the Neverborn will be impossible to turn and heal impossibly fast. His minons will be tougher, faster and stronger than other undead of their type."
[20:19] <Kotono> "Facing the Neverborn wil be troublesome then," Saul murmurs, "If not worse than we alreayd knew it ot be."
[20:19] <Alicia> "That'll make things difficult..." Marie makes a face. "But it's good we know now rather than finding out too late - I doubt it'll just have a few zombie guards. We'd probably end up facing all six of those horrid liches along with a few dozen wraiths. Might be better to try and chip away at the supports rather than diving in to take off the head first, even though it's not our usual style."
[20:22] <Kotono> "It does seem like this won't end in one mere battle," As you approach the gates, soldiers on guard saluting Eudard and Saul and Marie all at once, "If it does drag on," Saul's hands are behind his back, "I don't trust Malcanthet to not meddle. Perhaps we should look to establish some measure of understanding with her? I doubt she'll aid us, but if we can stop her from worsening the situation by meddling?"
[20:25] <Alicia> Marie makes a face at that concept. "Don't expect Alicia to go for that," is all she says.
[20:26] <Kotono> "Yes, I know." Eudard makes the same face, "But I'd rather be a realist and deal with it before we have some servant of hers complicating matters." Thus the three head back...OOC: Wanna wind down here for this, unless Marie wants to do something else?
[20:27] <Alicia> OOC: Marie will go home and hang out with Jessica and Hugo and Dawnhope now, so we're done

[Corwin]

[20:37] <Kolunch> Latha takes the hands of th eothers, Season's Heart winking away into a blip of light as...
[20:37] <Kolunch> roll 5d100
06[20:37] * Hatbot --> "Kolunch rolls 5d100 and gets 194." [5d100=85, 19, 9, 11, 70]
[20:37] <Kolunch> roll 1d9
06[20:37] * Hatbot --> "Kolunch rolls 1d9 and gets 7." [1d9=7]
[20:38] <Kolunch> You appear in rugged mountains. The air is chilly, standing near a tall, long cliff. A single shocker lizard lies atop it, limpid and unmoving.
01[20:39] <Seira> "So even they can die out," Seira mutters. "Next, a horrible place of undeath?"
06[20:40] * Alicia nods, taking out the scroll of greater teleport Elle gave her. "Be on guard, we don't know exactly what we'll find over there," she cautions, reading off the words of power to unerringly transport them to the same place Umberlee showed her on the charnel shore of the continent's South coast.
[20:43] <Kolunch> Woosh! The air is cold, blowing off a ruined shoreline of bleak wasteland. It clashes with warmth, not so cold here as to freeze you. Ahead is the ocean, endless and blue, bits of ice lining the shore at points. The sun seems weak but there, distant.
01[20:45] <Seira> "I could take a look beneath the waves," Seira offers. "Unless there's a better idea?"
06[20:46] * Alicia looks around a moment, inland and out to sea, in order to get her bearings. "Alright, we're going to have to go underwater to proceed further - I hope it's not too far, but it'll surely be cold. Does anyone want me to ward them against the chill?"
01[20:48] <Seira> "We should be fine, but I won't say no to precaution if you've got the spells for it."
06[20:49] * Alicia nods and casts resist energy on herself and Seira to ward off cold both natural and unnatural.
[20:50] <Kolunch> "I'll be fine," Antenora says, "More problematic will be breathing underwater."
[20:50] <Alicia> "Seira can fix that," Alicia assures the former erinyes.
01[20:51] <Seira> "I'll manage that, somehow," Seira affirms.
03[20:53] * Mystia is now known as Mystia_GhostFood
06[20:53] * Seira casts water breathing on everyone present.
[20:54] <Kolunch> With the ability to breathe water given, Antenora goes ankle deep in the waves. She shivers, "...the last time we went into the flowing ocean...will be far less fun than this one, I'm afraid."
[20:55] <Alicia> "No, I don't imagine this will be particularly fun at all," Alicia shakes her head, wading into the surf purposefully and continuing until she's beneath the water entirely before swimming perpendicular to the shoreline out to sea.
[20:56] <Alicia> Her eyes glow blue, sensing for magic and the telltale taint of evil as she follows the path walked over two thousand years ago by a lich and a neverborn child.
06[20:56] * Seira opts to keep to the surface, even if it means she is submerged as a result.
[20:57] <Kolunch> As you descend into the water, you see the shore only goes out about ten feet. There is a sharp, long, deep, black drop. It's as if the land ends just before a great chasm, only able to get about chest deep in the water. However ahead, faint evil comes from above, plunging into the waters a little way and going deeper into it.
06[20:57] * Alicia casts message to aid in talking underwater. "Looks like we're going to have to go deep. Everyone stay close together?" she suggests, starting to descend into the chasm.
[20:58] <Kolunch> "Found something?" Antenora follows along, going beneath the waves.
01[20:59] <Seira> "Close enough for a teleport," Seira confirms, after ensuring that Amaryl has the ring to pull off an emergency one if need be.
[20:59] <Alicia> "Speaking of, if I suddenly vanish it means trouble in Balmuria, so don't delay in heading back yourselves."
01[21:00] <Seira> "Naturally. We won't be far behind."
[21:00] <Kolunch> "I have it," Amaryl confirms, "Down below...can everyone see in darkness here?"
[21:01] <Alicia> "For a short distance," Alicia replies. "Antenora, can you see the bottom?" she asks the one with unsurpassed nightvision.
[21:02] <Kolunch> Antenora peers down, "....no. Not form here, I'll take point and keep looking? It's like looking into an endless chasm."
[21:03] <Alicia> "Lets go, then," Alicia agrees, starting to swim downwards and sticking close to Latha.
[21:07] <Kolunch> Thus the party swims down! As they do...
[21:08] <Kolunch> roll 1d20+22
06[21:08] * Hatbot --> "Kolunch rolls 1d20+22 and gets 37." [1d20=15]
[21:08] <Kolunch> After about a minute of swimming down, the water turning heavier and colder, "Incoming," Antenora whispers through Message, "They're coming fast and straight up - more of those dread wraiths, three of them."
01[21:10] <Seira> This is clearly time for a spell!
06[21:10] * Alicia casts mirror image and moves to replace Antenora on point. "Stay back and I'll try to draw their attacks," she suggests, drawing Hell Striker and eliciting a hiss of steam in the water as it ignites.
[21:10] <Alicia> roll 1d4+6
06[21:10] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d4+6 and gets 10." [1d4=4]
06[21:11] * Seira goes for extended dragonskin and heroism, for her part, which she really should've precast.
[21:11] <Kolunch> "Right. Mys pear isn't very effective underwater anyway," Antenora has it out, "They'll be on us and in range of your vision in a moment. If you're going to prepare..."
06[21:13] * Seira draws her own sword, leaving it in Lagann's care.
[21:14] <Kolunch> Amaryl quickly  mouths the words to a shield spell, as things are seen below! Three phantasms, vaguely human like, racing right up towards the party! They scream silently, coming right at you! OOC: Roll init.
[21:14] <Alicia> roll 1d20+7
06[21:14] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+7 and gets 17." [1d20=10]
01[21:14] <Seira> roll 1d20+6
06[21:14] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+6 and gets 20." [1d20=14]
[21:15] <Kolunch> roll 1d20+5
06[21:15] * Hatbot --> "Kolunch rolls 1d20+5 and gets 11." [1d20=6]
[21:15] <Kolunch> roll 1d20+8
06[21:15] * Hatbot --> "Kolunch rolls 1d20+8 and gets 24." [1d20=16]
01[21:16] <Seira> OOC: Lagann'll just go last
[21:16] <Kolunch> roll 1d20+8 Amaryl
06[21:16] * Hatbot --> "Kolunch rolls 1d20+8 Amaryl and gets 24." [1d20=16]
[21:16] <Kolunch> OOC: Okay.
03[21:17] * Kolunch changes topic to 'Latha=Amaryl(24)>Seira(20)>Alicia(17)>Antenora(11)>Lagann(0)'
[21:17] <Kolunch> roll 1d20+13
[21:17] <Kolunch> roll 1d20+13
[21:17] <Kolunch> roll 1d20+13
06[21:17] * Hatbot --> "Kolunch rolls 1d20+13 and gets 26." [1d20=13]
06[21:17] * Hatbot --> "Kolunch rolls 1d20+13 and gets 14." [1d20=1]
06[21:17] * Hatbot --> "Kolunch rolls 1d20+13 and gets 16." [1d20=3]
03[21:17] * Kolunch changes topic to 'Wraith 1(26)>Latha=Amaryl(24)>Seira(20)>Alicia(17)>Wraith 3(16)>Wraith 2(14)>Antenora(11)>Lagann(0)'
[21:18] <Kolunch> With a silent scream the first wraith darts right for Antenora!
[21:18] <Kolunch> roll 1d20+16
06[21:18] * Hatbot --> "Kolunch rolls 1d20+16 and gets 20." [1d20=4]
[21:18] <Kolunch> roll 2d6 an dfort incoming
06[21:18] * Hatbot --> "Kolunch rolls 2d6 an dfort incoming and gets 8." [2d6=6, 2]
[21:18] <Kolunch> roll 1d20+28
06[21:18] * Hatbot --> "Kolunch rolls 1d20+28 and gets 47." [1d20=19]
[21:18] <Kolunch> OOC: DR applies.
[21:21] <Kolunch> Antenora's arm is grazed, but she resists the vile draining and rips her arm out of the wraith's ghostly grasp! Latha immediately advances forward, her mace glowing with sunlight! The wraith screams, Latha's mace swinging for it's skull!
[21:21] <Kolunch> roll 1d20+23
06[21:21] * Hatbot --> "Kolunch rolls 1d20+23 and gets 39." [1d20=16]
[21:21] <Kolunch> roll 1d100
06[21:21] * Hatbot --> "Kolunch rolls 1d100 and gets 91." [1d100=91]
[21:22] <Kolunch> roll 1d8+13+2d6
06[21:22] * Hatbot --> "Kolunch rolls 1d8+13+2d6 and gets 21." [1d8=5][2d6=1, 2]
[21:23] <Kolunch> The wraith screams without a word as it's slammed, the sunlight making it's form indistinct and watery! Amaryl hangs back for the moment...OOC: Holding based on what Alicia said. Go, Seira.
01[21:24] <Seira> Stoneskin's familiar influence settling over her, Seira gestures at the slowest of the wraith and conjures three rays of fire to lance through it!
06[21:24] * Alicia moves after the wraith that bypassed her, flanking it with Latha while keeping herself between the remaining wraiths and the rest of the party.
[21:24] <Alicia> OOC: sorry, strike

[21:27] <Kolunch> Fiery rays lance the wraith as it's penetrated, staggering back in the waters! OOC: Alicia.
06[21:27] * Alicia moves after the wraith that bypassed her, flanking it with Latha while keeping herself between the remaining wraiths and the rest of the party.

06[21:27] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+20 -11pa flanking and gets 25." [1d20=5]
[21:29] <Kolunch> But the wraith is just a little too fast, writhing in thes unlight as Alicia's blade heavily swings past it! OOC: Wraith 3.
[21:29] <Kolunch> The other two wraiths eye the sunlight, before plunging back down into the waters and away! Antenora's wound heals as she takes slow, ponderous swings at the wraith!

06[21:31] * Hatbot --> "Kolunch rolls 2d8+30 and gets 34." [2d8=2, 2]
[21:34] <Kolunch> Antenora manages a few thrusts through it, ripping into it's sunlight perforated body and dealing thrusting gashes! OOC: Lagann.
01[21:34] <Seira> Eager to participate, Lagann makes a good effort to crowd the wraith and penetrate it with his steel!
01[21:34] <Seira> roll 1d20+20
06[21:34] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+20 and gets 22." [1d20=2]

06[21:35] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d100 and gets 25." [1d100=25]
[21:35] <Kolunch> Lagann's blade passes through harmlessly! OOC: Amaryl's going to go ahead and go since the wraith is surrounded.
03[21:35] * Kolunch changes topic to 'Amaryl>Wraith 1(26)>Latha>Seira(20)>Alicia(17)>Wraith 3(16)>Wraith 2(14)>Antenora(11)>Lagann(0)'
[21:35] <Kolunch> As Lagann misses, Amaryl comes forward, the sun blade cutting into the wraith!
[21:36] <Kolunch> roll 1d20+14
06[21:36] * Hatbot --> "Kolunch rolls 1d20+14 and gets 24." [1d20=10]
[21:36] <Kolunch> But the wraith is too fast! It twists and howls, fleeing straight down away from the sun! OOC: The wraith is triggering AoOs from pretty much everyone who's around it.

[21:38] <Kolunch> OOC: I ruled that, didn't I? Remind me to write it on her sheet then.
[21:40] <Kolunch> roll 3d8+24+4d6
06[21:40] * Hatbot --> "Kolunch rolls 3d8+24+4d6 and gets 58." [3d8=3, 8, 7][4d6=3, 3, 6, 4]
[21:40] <Kolunch> The wraith is torn apart savagely, wounded bad as it flees straight down and out of sight, into the inky darkness below!
[21:40] <Kolunch> OOC: Goa head and act for the moment.
06[21:41] * Seira chases it down, hoping to come close enough to set it on fire!
[21:42] <Alicia> "Well, we'll be seeing them again soon I imagine. Along with any other reinforcements they scare up," Alicia sighs, her bad luck at hitting such creatures continuing as she sedately matches pace with Seira. "Stay close everyone."
[21:44] <Kolunch> OOC: What's your movement speed underwater, Seira?
[21:47] <Kolunch> Seira swims ahead, but doesn't move fast compared to the ethereal wraith, not getting far ahead at all. No sight of it. As Seira swims ahead, Amaryl continues on, "How deep does this go? No bototm yet?"
06[21:48] * Alicia looks expectantly at Antenora there.
[21:50] <Kolunch> As you swim ahead a little further, Antenora peers. After another few minutes, "There," Antenora points, "I can start to see a bottom now. It's...there's definintely something unnatural there. A raised stone slab."
[21:51] <Alicia> "Keep at it, we'll soon be at the bottom, then," Alicia encourages, pausing momentarily to cast heroism before continuing downwards on point.
06[21:52] * Seira decides to boost the Resort and the Sun Blade's chances, for her part.
01[21:53] <Seira> roll 1d20+5
06[21:53] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+5 and gets 18." [1d20=13]
01[21:53] <Seira> OOC: +2, I think, sec
[21:53] <Kolunch> As you continue to swim, a stone slab comes into view. It's quite long and large, carved with strange, incoherent symbols on a glance.
[21:53] <Kolunch> OOC: Gah.
[21:54] <Kolunch> As you continue to swim, a stone slab comes into view. It's quite long and large, carved with strange, incoherent symbols on a glance. The tablet is made of unweathered, undamaged black and gray stone, not a single speck of debris or anything wrong on it. The symbols make no sense on the most casual look. Bits of ice rim the edges of the stone slab.
[21:54] <Kolunch> Antenora stops here, "Something's wrong..."
[21:54] <Kolunch> OOC: Gah, again. -_-
[21:55] <Kolunch> Antenora stops here, "Something's wrong..." She takes a breath, "Do you feel it?"
06[21:55] * Seira drifts close enough to Amaryl to crowd her.
06[21:55] * Alicia nods grimly. "This place is far from the Gods," she affirms, checking for any magic nearby first of all.
[21:55] <Kolunch> Latha's words are quiet, subdued, "I feel forgotten. I feel as if Lathander's sunshine and Celestia's grace are gone, as if I'll never see them again."
[21:55] <Kolunch> OOC: Caster level check, Alicia.
[21:55] <Alicia> roll 1d20+18
06[21:55] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+18 and gets 32." [1d20=14]
[21:56] <Kolunch> Amaryl curls near to Seira, "I don't know what it is, but I can say I really don't like it."

06[21:57] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+26 spellcraft and gets 40." [1d20=14]
01[21:57] <Seira> "Is that what the Neverborn's presence feels like?" Seira wonders quietly in response.
[21:58] <Kolunch> "Might be. You said that the Gods can't interact or do anything to the Neverborn, that they're seperated by Ao's curse?" Amaryl murmurs.
01[21:59] <Seira> "You think that extends to us, too?"
[22:03] <Kolunch> "I don't think it does. Lathander instructed me to kill a Neverborn should I ever encounter one." Latha kneels down, peering at the symbols. "Seira, you're skilled with magecraft. Do these mean anything to you?"
06[22:04] * Seira doesn't mind taking a look, if only to take her mind off the sudden melancholy.
[22:05] <Kolunch> OOC: K:A and spellcraft, Seira.
02[22:06] * Mystia_GhostFood (~Melanchth@pool-71-191-20-55.washdc.east.verizon.net) Quit (Ping timeout)

[19:36] <Alicia> "I think this is some sort of teleportation device," Alicia remarks as she studies the play of magic around the slab. "I think I might be able to activate it, but the question is, do we want to?"
01[19:36] <Seira> "And the problem is, the trap built-in may well just send us elsewhere," Seira adds, focusing on the runes once more.
[19:36] <Kotono> "It's likely defended," Antenora swims just above it, whispering over message. "But is that going to stop us?"
01[19:37] <Seira> roll 1d20+28
05[19:37] -sebben.dejatoons.net:@#dunes- Kotono invited Hatbot into the channel.
03[19:37] * Hatbot (~Hatbot@24.174.51.230) has joined #dunes
[19:37] <Kotono> OOC: Seira, activating the runes?
03[19:37] * Alicia sets mode: +v Hatbot
01[19:37] <Seira> OOC: Maybe I misunderstood? I thought it may give me the activation key.
[19:38] <Kotono> OOC: Another spellcraft check could let you activate it.
01[19:38] <Seira> OOC: Ah, I see. Then not yet.
[19:39] <Alicia> "Can you disable the trap?" Alicia asks, looking around the bottom of the chasm to see if there's anything else here.
[19:39] <Kotono> OOC: Spot, Alicia.
[19:39] <Alicia> roll 1d20+2
06[19:39] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+2 and gets 13." [1d20=11]
[19:39] <Kotono> The bottom of the chasm is mostly unworked, natural seabed beyond the slab. Alicia doesn't see anything of immediate interest.
01[19:41] <Seira> "It's not impossible, but may be pretty difficult," Seira returns. "That aside, do we think the wraiths came through the runes, and then retreated there?"
[19:42] <Alicia> "It's possible, but it's equally likely they're hiding in the bedrock. Being incorporeal doesn't exactly limit the places you can go," Alicia surmises.
03[19:44] * merc-zzz is now known as Merc
[19:45] <Kotono> The cold current rustles as water flows about you. Amaryl shivers, "We need to try. I don't want this to keep happening, Seira. It can't keep happening, it was like a nightmare. Please."
01[19:46] <Seira> "One way or the other, we'll end up teleported somewhere, then," Seira muses, getting to work.
06[19:47] * Alicia has no objection to chancing it, since she rather regrets letting the chance in Malmuth slip by given all that's happened since then.
01[19:47] <Seira> roll 1d20+26 let's try UMD
06[19:47] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+26 let's try UMD and gets 31." [1d20=5]
[19:49] <Kotono> The slab glows white! The air blazes around the party, twisting! There is a sensation of being pulled downward, grabbed by unseen hands and dragged! You pass through bedrock and searock, plummeting down! (More)

06[19:49] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 2d6 damage to all, DR applies and gets 2." [2d6=1, 1]
[19:52] <Kotono> WHAM! There is a sharp impact of hitting the ground. Your vision flashes red as you take in your surroundings. You are in a vast cave, grottos all about. There is no light, only pure darkness. This room is shaped like a circle, dozens and dozens and dozens of large holes dotted about. From them they begin to emerge - snakes, with the head of a woman on each. Each head looks dreadfully ugly, tongue lolling out as they advance at all angles! OOC

[19:56] <Kotono> OOC: Latha starts.
[19:57] <Alicia> OOC: how close are the nagas?
[19:57] <Kotono> From about the snake women twist near and far, above and at level and below at once, coming from so many holes! One of them licks it's lips, calling out in words, "Kill them, rip them apart for the glory of Snake Goddess!"
[19:57] <Kotono> OOC: Closest one is 15 ft away. They're spread out in ever direction.
[19:57] <Kotono> OOC: Imagine you're in the center of a perforated circle.
[19:58] <Kotono> OOC: Well, center-bottom on the ground, anyway.
[19:59] <Alicia> Since they're surrounded on all sides and the creatures are reasonably close, Latha calls upon her connection to Celestia that was so diminished in proximity to that slab, uttering a single word of sublime clarity that was never meant for the debased ears of such creatures!
[19:59] <Alicia> OOC: DC 22 will for holy word, not counting the houseruled mod on it. I think it's -2 or 4 to saves?

[20:02] <Kotono> Three of the naga reel back, utterly motionless after that word of holy power! A fourth resists, hissing out it's forked tongue at Latha! OOC: Seira.
06[20:04] * Seira summons her unicorn hordes, relinquishing her control over the Resort to Lagann! The closest naga still moving is the one that ends up marked for death!

[20:06] <Kotono> The naga is impaled from all sides, unicorns tearing it's body into chunks and ribbons of naga-flesh! It's blood splatters on the walls! OOC: Anything else this turn, Seira?
06[20:07] * Seira moves closer to Amaryl, ready to shield her from any naga charging her way.
[20:07] <Kotono> OOC: Antenora's up then.
[20:08] <Alicia> Antenora targets the one that first spoke and urged its fellows on, surging forward and aiming her spear just so to drive it down the naga's throat!

[20:10] <Kotono> Antenora pounces forward, clearing the naga away in one deep plunge of her spear! It gurgles and dies, head impaled! The fourth one hisses in the air, intoning words of arcane power! An orb of roiling force appears, shooting at Latha! "Kill the one with the sacred word!"
[20:10] <Kotono> roll 1d20+9 touch AC?

[20:10] <Kotono> The orb of force hits against Latha's holy circle, sputtering out and shattering like transparent glass! OOC: Alicia.
06[20:11] * Alicia takes off after the spellcasting one, punishing it for having the temerity to attack a deva! Flames igniting to illuminate the cavern, Hell Striker flashes out to decapitate the snake!

[20:13] <Kotono> This naga's head is cut clean off, sputtering down to the ground as she becomes a geyser of foul blood! As the fifth naga twitches on the floor, two others turn, "No!" One yells, "Kill the wizard instead!" With that, two orbs come at Seira, one acid and one force! OOC: Any immediates, Seira?
[20:14] <Kotono> OOC: Touch AC while you're at it.
06[20:14] * Seira is suddenly surrounded with doubles at that development!

[20:22] <Kotono> OOC: Latha.
[20:24] <Alicia> Latha promptly gestures at the largest cluster of newly arriving nagas and calls down Lathander's wrath upon them in the form of a pillar of fire that flares brightly enough to momentarily put Hell Striker to shame!
[20:24] <Alicia> roll 15d6 DC 20 reflex half
06[20:24] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 15d6 DC 20 reflex half and gets 52." [15d6=4, 6, 2, 1, 1, 3, 4, 6, 5, 3, 6, 2, 3, 5, 1]

[20:25] <Kotono> One naga bursts into flames, melting down to ash and bone! Two others(2-5 and 2-2) are burnt terribly, but move fast enough to avoid the worst of the pillar of hateful fire! OOC: Seira.
06[20:27] * Seira decides to burn the new arrivals with fire as well, gesturing at the survivors of Latha's attack and another naga who clearly didn't know what it was getting into.
01[20:27] <Seira> roll 3#1d20+19 empowered scorching ray, one each
06[20:27] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 3#1d20+19 empowered scorching ray, one each and gets 90." [3#1d20+19 = 28, 29, 33]

[20:28] <Kotono> The burnt naga are pierced and burst into flames, dying and shedding dim light as they immolate! Another is seared badly, staggering with a hole in it's tail! OOC: Antenora.
[20:29] <Alicia> Antenora pauses a moment to take stock of the new arrivals before she surges forward at an uninjured one to share the pain, her black unicorn horn-tipped spear doing much as Seira's unicorn hordes have been doing!
[20:29] <Alicia> roll 1d20+20 -9pa charging
06[20:29] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+20 -9pa charging and gets 35." [1d20=15]
[20:29] <Alicia> roll 2d8+66

[20:30] <Kotono> Racing ahead, Antenora spears another naga through the neck, ripping it's head off and sending it to oblivion! The floors are littered with slain naga now, ripped apart in mere seconds, rills of blood everywhere! OOC: Alicia and Naga 2-3.
[20:31] <Kotono> One of the naga survives yet! It intones words of power, this time aiming for Antenora! "Kill them! For the glory of the Snake Goddess!"
[20:31] <Kotono> roll 1d20+9 force at Antenora
06[20:31] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+9 force at Antenora and gets 11." [1d20=2]
[20:31] <Kotono> But the orb misses, Antenora whirling to the side as the wall nearby erupts in a shower of force weakened stones, bouncing off Antenora's armor! OOC: Alicia.
[20:32] <Alicia> "The only ones dying here are you! Surrender or you'll all die!" Alicia exhorts, making an example of the one that just attacked Antenora by flying over and embedding Hell Striker into its forehead!
[20:32] <Alicia> roll 1d20+18 -10pa
06[20:32] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+18 -10pa and gets 24." [1d20=6]

[20:33] <Kotono> Alicia severs this naga as well! As the fifth one lies on the ground, the second one calls on a fireball that erupts around Alicia! "Never! Glory for Her name!" OOC: Ref.
[20:34] <Kotono> roll 9d6
06[20:34] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 9d6 and gets 24." [9d6=6, 3, 2, 1, 1, 5, 2, 1, 3]
[20:34] <Alicia> roll 1d20+19
06[20:34] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+19 and gets 20." [1d20=1]
[20:34] <Kotono> OOC: Amusingly full damage.
[20:34] <Kotono> Alicia dodges, but right into the center of the fireball! It leaves her burnt and scorched all over, little injuries all over her body, but none serious! OOC: Amaryl and naga 2-1 areup.
01[20:35] <Seira> Emboldened by how well they're doing, Amaryl moves swiftly, this time picking two near targets for her arrows!
01[20:35] <Seira> roll 2#1d20+16
06[20:35] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 2#1d20+16 and gets 47." [2#1d20+16 = 20, 27]

[20:37] <Kotono> Amaryls' arrows finish one off, wihle another is greviously arrowed! As it bleeds everywhere, it spitefully sends an orb of acid right at Amaryl's face!
[20:37] <Kotono> roll 1d20+9
06[20:37] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+9 and gets 16." [1d20=7]
[20:37] <Kotono> OOC: Touch AC?
01[20:37] <Seira> OOC: Over that, especially with skirmish
[20:37] <Kotono> But Amaryl simply dances out of the way, moving like a whirlwind in combat as arrows fly! OOC: Lagann.
01[20:39] <Seira> Lagann is more than happy to slice up the naga foolish enough to remain near a blade he wields!
01[20:39] <Seira> roll 1d20+22
06[20:39] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+22 and gets 35." [1d20=13]

[20:40] <Kotono> The last naga ist orn apart, as no reinforcements seem to be coming, only paralysed naga left! OOC: Free act for the moment then.
[20:40] <Kotono> Antenora looks about, "That seems to be it for the moment - they're not much smarter than humans and they sound like fanatics."
[20:41] <Alicia> Latha obligingly goes to heal Alicia, who asks Antenora, "Can you talk to the paralysed ones telepathically? They might be more amenable in their current state - see if you can find out where we are to start with."
[20:41] <Alicia> roll 2d8+10
06[20:41] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 2d8+10 and gets 24." [2d8=6, 8]
[20:42] <Kotono> Antenora hops on over as Latha heals Alicia's wounds. She kneels next to it, frowning. "It's screaming at me that we'll bow before the Snake Goddess." Reaching forward to tap the Naga's forehead, "Any idea who that is? It doesn't fit the MO of the Dark Six to have servants who are ranting about a Goddess."
[20:43] <Kotono> Amaryl checks herself over and sighs, holding her chest. "That was close. That's the same spell tha tsends balls of acid around that you use, Seira?"
[20:44] <Alicia> roll 1d20+16 religion, who's the goddess of snakes in our pantheon?
06[20:44] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+16 religion, who's the goddess of snakes in our pantheon? and gets 36." [1d20=20]
01[20:45] <Seira> "Pretty much, although I'm better at it," Seira responds. "I'll show you if more show up, okay?"
06[20:45] * Seira thinks for a moment. "You know, if I did end up triggering the trap, it may well be possible we were sent somewhere nasty that isn't actually related to our current enemies."
[20:47] <Alicia> "It's possible they're referring simply to an elder naga rather than an actual deity - the only deity of snakes I know is a god, not a goddess," Alicia remarks. "Can you see any way out of here that's big enough for us to fit?" she then asks the ever so helpful Antenora, since her own darkvision is so less extensive.
[20:47] <Kotono> Antenora flies about, "No, just passages that go around bends and go this way and that," After so flying around, "I don't sense any minds nearby, either."
[20:48] <Kotono> "Basically pass us off onto someone else and let them deal with us?" Latha's voice lights the darkness, "A miserable trick, but one that makes tactical sense."
01[20:48] <Seira> "That's what I would do. If I were a villain."
06[20:49] * Seira doesn't feel terrible about killing the naga who wanted to kill her in the name of their goddess before she could even get a word in, however.
[20:49] <Alicia> "Shall I teleport us back to the slab and we can try again?" Alicia asks in that case.
[20:49] <Kotono> "The Dark Six do seem to have enough intelligence to use these sort of plans, too," Antenora cocks her head back to Seira, "It was self defense, but still."
01[20:49] <Seira> "What about the paralyzed ones? They're nasty and insane, so are we just going to leave them like this?"
[20:52] <Alicia> "Killing them serves little purpose at this point. We can hope they'll learn something from this, but even if not, I don't think they're much of a threat to anyone," Alicia shrugs.
06[20:54] * Seira shrugs as well. Even if there is some sort of elder naga that would try to seek vengeance for how they defended themselves from her minions, they'll just deal with that. "A teleport and another attempt, then?"
[20:55] <Alicia> Gathering everyone together, Alicia visualises the forlorn slab at the bottom of the sea and teleports them back to it! Hopefully.
[20:56] <Alicia> roll 1d100 seen once
06[20:56] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d100 seen once and gets 96." [1d100=96]
[20:56] <Alicia> OOC: similar area
[20:56] <Kotono> Alicia invokes her magic ot teleport...but nothing happens at all! The spell fizzles!
[20:57] <Kotono> "...Celestia's light..." Latha murmurs under her breath, "Did the spell fail?"
[20:57] <Alicia> "It seems so..." Alicia frowns, checking for any dimensional anchoring type magic in the air around them.
[20:58] <Kotono> OOC: Make a caster level check, Alicia?
[20:58] <Alicia> roll 1d20+18
06[20:58] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+18 and gets 38." [1d20=20]
01[20:58] <Seira> "We can always dig our way out," Seira says unhappily. "Going to try again?"
[20:58] <Alicia> roll 1d20+26 spellcraft
06[20:58] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+26 spellcraft and gets 27." [1d20=1]
[21:01] <Alicia> "There's abjuration magic suffusing the rock all around us," Alicia remarks unhappily. "I'm not sure but I'd guess it's probably some sort of dimensional anchor effect." She glances at Antenora, "I don't suppose the Naga know anything about it?"
[21:02] <Kotono> "I'll try." Antenora kneels next to her again...
[21:02] <Kotono> roll 1d20+15
06[21:02] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+15 and gets 29." [1d20=14]
[21:04] <Kotono> "It's ranting how we can't escape the domain of the Snake Goddess, that her wrath is inescapable." Antenora stands back up, stretching hre back out as she does. "That the magic of the Snake Goddess is inviolate."
01[21:04] <Seira> "Alicia, how about violating the magic of the snake goddess so that we could leave?" Seira queries.
[21:06] <Alicia> "It's not really that strong - Antenora or Latha could probably manage it, which would save my own spells for if we end up somewhere worse when we use the tablet again," Alicia suggests, glancing at the other two angels hopefully. Admittedly it's not *weak* magic, but her perceptions have been skewed of late.
[21:07] <Kotono> Antenora nods and steps forward, "Allowme," she says, as Latha repeats the trick!
[21:07] <Kotono> roll 1d20+10
[21:07] <Kotono> roll 1d20+10
06[21:07] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+10 and gets 23." [1d20=13]
06[21:07] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+10 and gets 27." [1d20=17]
[21:07] <Kotono> But the magic withstands! They try again!
[21:07] <Kotono> roll 1d20+10
[21:07] <Kotono> roll 1d20+10
06[21:07] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+10 and gets 28." [1d20=18]
06[21:07] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+10 and gets 28." [1d20=18]
[21:07] <Kotono> "Nothing," Antenora says, "The magic isn't giving so easily." Latha tries again, "By Celestia's wisdom, be shattered, magic!"
[21:07] <Kotono> roll 1d20+10
06[21:07] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+10 and gets 18." [1d20=8]
[21:08] <Alicia> "Okay, I'll do it then," Alicia interjects as it seems futile on their end. "Mother of all Magic, let me end the spell of this false goddess that we might away from here," she intones, casting her own spell.
[21:08] <Alicia> roll 1d20+20
06[21:08] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+20 and gets 32." [1d20=12]
[21:09] <Kotono> Calling on Mystra's magic power, the aura in the stones buckles and weakens! It disperses, already starting to regenerate mere seconds later, reknitting itself as fast as it can! OOC: Go ahead and act.
[21:10] <Alicia> "Done, lets hurry," Alicia quickly repeats her teleport spell before the magic in the rocks can regenerate enough to stop them.
[21:10] <Alicia> roll 1d100 seen once
06[21:10] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d100 seen once and gets 99." [1d100=99]
03[21:10] * Mystia is now known as Mystia_Ghostfood
[21:10] <Alicia> OOC: mishap
[21:10] <Kotono> roll 1d10

06[21:10] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+80 and gets 98." [1d20=18]

06[21:10] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+80 and gets 98." [1d20=18]
[21:11] <Alicia> OOC; wait, are you rolling or am I?
[21:11] <Kotono> roll 1d10
06[21:11] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d10 and gets 4." [1d10=4]
[21:11] <Kotono> OOC: I'll do it, I gneerally deal with TP mishaps.
[21:11] <Kotono> OOC: 12 damage so far.
[21:11] <Kotono> roll 1d20+80
06[21:11] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+80 and gets 99." [1d20=19]
[21:11] <Kotono> roll 1d10
06[21:11] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d10 and gets 7." [1d10=7]
[21:11] <Kotono> OOC: 19 damage so far.
[21:11] <Kotono> roll 1d20+80
06[21:11] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+80 and gets 93." [1d20=13]
[21:11] <Kotono> OOC: 19 damage to all of you.
[21:13] <Kotono> It's as if the magic itself is wrong! You feel twisted and scrambled, mixed up! You appear in warmer waters, a great hunk of stone lying on the ocean bed. It is covered in strange red paint, uneroded by water's passage. It forms the pattern of a hawk over it's length, far different than the slab that got you in this mess.
[21:13] <Kotono> "Owww...!" Amaryl whimpers, "I feel like a dragon just tried to twist me end over end!"
01[21:14] <Seira> "Stupid snake goddess magic," Seira mutters, instantly moving to help Amaryl.
01[21:14] <Seira> roll 3d8+15
06[21:14] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 3d8+15 and gets 31." [3d8=6, 6, 4]
[21:14] <Kotono> "This also isn't where we were," Antenora goes to examine the slab, "Interesting, but it's not what we came for. Was the magic interfered with, Alicia?"
[21:15] <Alicia> "The anchoring magic regrew quickly, I think we're lucky we got out at all," Alicia remarks, wincing and holding her stomach as she gets the feeling her insides are in the wrong place. "It didn't help that my mental image of the slab wasn't very good... Latha, can you heal us a bit while I refocus to try again?"
[21:15] <Alicia> roll 1d8+5 CLW Seira
06[21:15] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d8+5 CLW Seira and gets 13." [1d8=8]
[21:15] <Alicia> roll 1d8+5 CLW Alicia
06[21:15] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d8+5 CLW Alicia and gets 7." [1d8=2]
[21:15] <Alicia> roll 1d8+5 CLW Anty
06[21:15] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d8+5 CLW Anty and gets 12." [1d8=7]
[21:15] <Alicia> roll 1d8+5 CLW Latha
06[21:15] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d8+5 CLW Latha and gets 7." [1d8=2]
[21:16] <Kotono> Latha goes about, healing wounds. "At least we weren't shunted into a pool of acid or intot he middle of a wall. I know a story of a wizard whom that happened to." With a sad smile, "He became an instant fossil."
[21:17] <Kotono> "Thank you," Amaryl smiles to Seira, her smile banishing the darkness for a moment, "That's terrible!"
[21:18] <Alicia> roll 1d20+16 arcana
06[21:18] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+16 arcana and gets 28." [1d20=12]
[21:18] <Alicia> roll 1d20+26 spellcraft
06[21:18] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+26 spellcraft and gets 37." [1d20=11]
[21:18] <Alicia> "That's not supposed to happen except in extreme circumstances, at least," Alicia remarks. "Hmmm..." she pauses, eyeing the slab a moment.
01[21:19] <Seira> "And there are precautions to take against that, although I can see how many wouldn't normally bother," Seira adds her own thoughts, before focusing on the hawk pattern as well.
[21:19] <Kotono> OOC: K:A if you like, Seira.
01[21:19] <Seira> roll 1d20+26 sure
06[21:19] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+26 sure and gets 44." [1d20=18]
[21:19] <Alicia> "It looks like a ritual component," Alicia indicates the slab. "The magic lingering on it is merely preservative in nature, so its of no more interest than that, I think."
01[21:22] <Seira> "Here's to making certain our own achievements don't end up amounting to this?"
[21:23] <Kotono> "Let's go then, and make our acheivements sung in the Heavens, by defeating the Neverborn and his servants?" Antenora looks ahead, "Time's wasting."
[21:23] <Alicia> "I'm sure whomever made this left other things behind as well, but its of little import to us. I'll try teleporting again," Alicia offers, gathering everyone around and repeating her spell.
[21:23] <Alicia> roll 1d100 seen once
06[21:23] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d100 seen once and gets 8." [1d100=8]
[21:24] <Kotono> Woosh! This time yo8u appear at the stone slab. You feel isolated, as if the light of the Gods above is gone. Chills race through your body once more!
06[21:25] * Alicia shivers a little in the far colder water, looking around warily in case the wraiths come back while Seira tries to disable the trap again.
[21:27] <Kotono> OOC: Spot again, Alicia.
06[21:27] * Seira this time decides to search the premises before activating the device.
[21:27] <Alicia> roll 1d20+2
06[21:27] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+2 and gets 17." [1d20=15]
01[21:27] <Seira> roll 1d20+30 anything of interest?
06[21:27] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+30 anything of interest? and gets 45." [1d20=15]
[21:28] <Kotono> Alicia doesn't see anything of interest, nor does Seira's search turn up anything of interest.
01[21:28] <Seira> roll 1d20+29 let's try dd now
06[21:28] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+29 let's try dd now and gets 30." [1d20=1]
[21:29] <Kotono> AGain, you feel pulled down! You rac ethrough the earth, as if hands drag you down to Hell itself! You plummet down, a hard impact with wet cave floor once more!
[21:29] <Kotono> roll 2d6 ow
06[21:29] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 2d6 ow and gets 6." [2d6=5, 1]
[21:29] <Kotono> You stand and lie where you started before - the naga lie about, still slain and still very dead.
[21:30] <Kotono> "Urgh," Antenora gets up onto one knee, as Latha rises. The latter is the one that speaks, "We must find a way to help Seira with this, then. If one cannot solve the problem, then we all must strive to do so, together."
01[21:30] <Seira> "At least it's not a smarter trap," Seira says in resignation.
06[21:30] * Alicia checks to see if the anchoring spell has regenerated before she risks another teleport.
01[21:30] <Seira> "And I didn't say I couldn't solve it! Just give me a moment to think of a better way."
06[21:31] * Alicia takes a deep breath. "I'll have to dispel the anchor once more. Hold on a moment," she requests, doing just that.
[21:31] <Alicia> roll 1d20+20
06[21:31] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+20 and gets 28." [1d20=8]
[21:31] <Kotono> This time, the anchor does not give way! The mgaic in the rocks is inviolate!
06[21:32] * Alicia frowns, pausing a moment to work a crick out of her neck before she tries agin with a clearer head.
[21:32] <Alicia> roll 1d20+20
06[21:32] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+20 and gets 40." [1d20=20]
[21:32] <Kotono> This time the magic shatters apart, stunned momentarily as it tries to regroup itself! Alicia has her chance!
[21:32] <Alicia> "Brace yourselves," Alicia warns as she teleports out again.
[21:32] <Alicia> roll 1d100 seen once
06[21:32] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d100 seen once and gets 54." [1d100=54]
[21:33] <Kotono> Woosh! This time yo8u make it back to the stone slab without incident! Once again the cool waters lap at your bodies all over...
01[21:34] <Seira> "Here's the deal," Seira states unhappily. "I'm fairly certain I could get it to work in four-five tries. But we know what happens if that doesn't work. Are we risking it now?"
[21:34] <Kotono> "The price of not risking it is high," Latha says, "I would rather risk my life than risk the lives of those who would be attacked by the depredations of the Neverborn."
06[21:34] * Alicia eyes the play of magic around the slab. Is it all one spell or is the trap a seperate dweomer that might potentially be dispelled without disrupting the primary teleport function?
[21:35] <Alicia> "We'll just have to risk it. Do you want me to cast heroism on you to improve your focus, Seira?" Alicia offers.
01[21:36] <Seira> "Already got it covered," Seira responds, flashing Alicia a smile. "Here goes...."
01[21:36] <Seira> roll 1d20+29 dd
06[21:36] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+29 dd and gets 47." [1d20=18]
03[21:40] * Retrieving #dunes modes...
[21:41] <Kotono> This time, working as hard as she can, Seira is able to edge the trap off, the platform glowing! A moment later, you are pulled down! But this time you appear safely. You stand atop a statue, of a skeleton with it's hands spread outward. A stairway leads to the ground, twenty feet below. Everything here is bone white. The path ahead is bone white, inlaid with tiny skulls, each one fixed into a grimace of tormented agony. The eyes of each skull
[21:41] <Kotono>  each one fixed into a grimace of tormented agony. The eyes of each skull have a dim light within them. They seem to light up, a thousand voices assailing you! OOC: Will saves all.
[21:42] <Alicia> roll 1d20+25 +6vs evil Alicia
06[21:42] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+25 +6vs evil Alicia and gets 38." [1d20=13]
[21:42] <Alicia> roll 1d20+26 +4vs evil Anty
06[21:42] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+26 +4vs evil Anty and gets 40." [1d20=14]
[21:42] <Alicia> roll 1d20+14 +6vs evil Latha
06[21:42] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+14 +6vs evil Latha and gets 30." [1d20=16]
01[21:43] <Seira> roll 1d20+27
06[21:43] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+27 and gets 42." [1d20=15]
01[21:43] <Seira> roll 1d20+11 A
06[21:43] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+11 A and gets 20." [1d20=9]
[21:46] <Kotono> Images. From each voice images come in. Of being in a warm, happy place. Of being held in soft warms, looking up at a face with absolute love, absolute devotion. Then...terror and agony. One smiling, demented face staring down, whispering, "It wasn't fair you got to be born...oh no...I won't be lonely...join me..." Then a thousand echos of agony, hearts stopping in an intense, death cold...over and over this repeats in your minds, the skull's
[21:46] <Kotono> death cold...over and over this repeats in your minds, the skull's eyes winkling with light! OOC: Everyone but Amaryl is shaken, suffering double the normal penalties. Amaryl is stunned.
[21:46] <Kotono> Amaryl screams, falling down in a heap!
[21:47] <Kotono> "In the..." Antenora holds her head, "Shut them up...stop it! Stop it!"
[21:47] <Alicia> OOC: Anty has Remove Fear as an SLA. This is a good time
[21:47] <Alicia> OOC: So does Latha
06[21:47] * Seira stands over Amaryl, her sword drawn, eyes darting in every direction for something to fight!
[21:48] <Kotono> Latha weeps, all while reaching out to Seira first. The fear retreats, though the voices do not stop. Antenora touches Alicia there after, her own voices fading.
[21:48] <Kotono> OOC: STrike.
[21:49] <Kotono> Latha weeps, yet does not stop as she murmurs a single calming word of Celestial. The fear leaves your bodies, though the images and voices continue unabated. As this happens, you hear a heavy, thudding sound, clapping.
06[21:49] * Alicia shudders, gripping Hell Striker tightly in both hands as she looks down at the leering skulls. "Don't listen to it," she hisses, gritting her teeth, before looking around for the source of the clapping.
[21:51] <Kotono> "Six thousand, six hundred and sixty-six." The clapper approaches from far away, walking with easy steps. Melancton has his great warhammer in one hand. At his side are the dead - at least a dozen of the dire wraiths, screaming silently in time with the skulls. "A small army of babies. There's no room for you here, but we have another part of Silence for you, so fear not."
[21:53] <Alicia> "Your friends back in Arborea asked that we bring you in alive," Alicia tells the traitor titan, stepping forward to face him without fear. "That might make what I said to you last time a lie," she's forced to admit.
01[21:54] <Seira> "I'm sure they'll understand if we couldn't, though," Seira adds. "What can they possibly expect from someone who became what he fought?"
[21:55] <Kotono> "I'll make sure to throw their bones in with yours," Melancton and his horde are 90 feet away, on ground level. "Heh, that's right. There's nothing but agony waiting for every living being. I'm blessed to be able to bring it to so many of them...and you're next!" With a furious roar, the titan gestures his warhammer forward, the horde of undeath advancing! OOC: Init.

[19:36] <Ko> Lagann thrusts forward, passing through the plates of Melancton's armor and finding a hole! It stabs into his gut, burying in! Meanwhile...
03[19:36] * Ko changes topic to 'Wraith 1=Wraith 9(32)>Wraith 8(31)>Wraith 12(30)>Wraith 4(29)>Wraith 2(26)>Wraith 5=Wraith 10(23)>Wraith 11(22)>Wraith 7(21)>Wraith 3=Antenora=Latha(18)Wraith 6(16)>Seira(14)>Alicia(12)>Amaryl(9)>Melancton(6)>Lagann(0)>Giant Skeleton(-1)'
[19:36] <Ko> From the ground, wisps of black emit out, flowing into the skeleton who's hands Amaryl and the angels stand on! The skeleton's eyes above light up, it's body starting to move! OOC: Top of init now.
[19:37] <Ko> As one, the wraiths shrink back from the sunlight! They flee back, fleeing away at all angles and away from Amaryl! OOC: Latha and Antenora.
[19:38] <Alicia> roll 1d20+23 Latha religion, would dispel evil do anything to the possessed skeleton?
06[19:38] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+23 Latha religion, would dispel evil do anything to the possessed skeleton? and gets 35." [1d20=12]
[19:40] <Alicia> OOC: How far above the ground is the skeleton's hand they're standing on?
[19:40] <Ko> OOC: 20ft.
[19:41] <Alicia> Seeing the skeleton starting to animate itself, Latha looks concerned! "Alicia, catch us if this works!" she requests, planting her palm on the bony palm at her feet and attempting to plane shift the skeleton all the way to the plane of positive energy!
[19:41] <Alicia> OOC: DC 22 will
[19:41] <Ko> OOC: No need.
[19:42] <Ko> Latha tries to shift the planes...but nothing happens! OOC: Antenora.
[19:42] <Alicia> Straightening up, Latha hefts her mace warily. "Try to dispel it, Antenora?" she asks hopefully, causing the former erinyes to nod, closing her eyes a moment to focus before glaring at the skull!
[19:43] <Alicia> roll 1d20+10 dispel
06[19:43] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+10 dispel and gets 23." [1d20=13]
[19:44] <Ko> But the skull does not bend to her magic, resisting the call to be broken! OOC: More wraith fleeing. Seira.
[19:44] <Alicia> Both angels fly ten feet away from the hand as their efforts come to naught!
06[19:46] * Seira steps back, drawing Elle's gift for her, and attempts to erode at the enormous skeleton!
01[19:46] <Seira> OOC: empowered fireball it is, any SR?
[19:46] <Ko> OOC: No.

01[19:47] <Seira> OOC: Normally 24, 28 with the soothsayer
01[19:47] <Seira> OOC: Actually one higher. Something finally missed!
[19:48] <Ko> OOC: Okay. Oh, so that's what it was. In the future, point bank tell me you're using that, Cor. Use the exact words and PM me so I can take a note. I just didn't register it was using it when you said that. Dur.
01[19:48] <Seira> OOC: Okay. I'll move after this.
[19:49] <Ko> The searing fireball catches the skeleton before it can move, blasting bone and leaving it's midsection terrifically charred! OOC: Continue
[19:49] <Ko> .
06[19:49] * Seira continues her withdrawal for thirty more feet, unwilling to let Melcanton remain in melee with her.
[19:51] <Ko> Thus Seira flips back and withdraws, avoiding a massive blow form Melancton as she does so! OOC: Alicia.
[19:53] <Alicia> "So how did the Abyss get to you, anyway, Melancton?" Alicia asks, hefting Hell Striker and channelling a different spell into this time, one that makes it crackle with electricity. "What was the chink in your armour? What was the weakness it exploited to turn you into something you hate?" she probes bitterly as she lets the sword fly once more, recalling her own hard earned knowledge of how that loathesome realm works.
[19:53] <Alicia> roll 1d20+40 -5pa divine might 4th level arcane strike

[19:56] <Ko> Melancton is wounded badly this time, his torso torn open! Blood gushes down freely as his titantic body buckles! He doesn't answer, only concentrating now! OOC: Amaryl.
01[19:58] <Seira> Amaryl follows after Seira, moving just enough that she's barely cleared the skeleton, before lashing out at its outstretched hand.
01[19:59] <Seira> roll 1d20+16
06[19:59] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+16 and gets 23." [1d20=7]
[19:59] <Ko> Ting! The Sun Blade bounces off the skeleton's hand, as the light from the Sun Blade begins to dim, it's radiance lessening! OOC: Melancton is up.
[20:01] <Ko> Quickly, lightning dances around Amaryl, Antenora and Latha once more!
[20:01] <Ko> roll 1d20+20 SR
06[20:01] * Hatbot --> "Ko rolls 1d20+20 SR and gets 25." [1d20=5]

06[20:02] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+28 Anty and gets 37." [1d20=9]
[20:06] <Ko> The lightning fizzles around Latha, while it arches between Antenora and Amaryl! Both are dreadfully shocked, but endure it as best the can! A split second later, Melancton vanishes! OOC: Lagann.
03[20:06] * Mystia_Ghostfood (~Melanchth@pool-71-191-20-55.washdc.east.verizon.net) has joined #dunes
[20:06] <Alicia> roll 1d20+26 spellcraft wtf was that?
06[20:06] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+26 spellcraft wtf was that? and gets 36." [1d20=10]
01[20:07] <Seira> "He ran away!" Seira exclaims. "That cheating bastard!" Lagann shares her anger, but uses it to imbue Seira with greater heroism, the Resort drawing closer to her.
[20:07] <Alicia> "He's still there, he went ethereal! Like that cauchemar!" Alicia warns Seira.
[20:07] <Ko> The skeleton rises! It grabs th stairway in it's hands, taking it as a weapon! This sends Amaryl flying down! OOC: 1d6 falling, does she have featherfall or tumble or anything?
01[20:09] <Seira> OOC: Alicia has that
[20:09] <Ko> OOC: Alicia, are you going to use an immediate on that then or should I roll damage?
06[20:09] * Alicia snaps out a quick spell to cushion Amaryl's fall!
[20:10] <Ko> Amaryl lands safely, as the skeleton lashes out! It uses the stairway as if it were a club, striking out at Latha, Antenora and Amaryl equally!
[20:10] <Ko> roll 1d20+25 Latha
06[20:10] * Hatbot --> "Ko rolls 1d20+25 Latha and gets 39." [1d20=14]

06[20:10] * Hatbot --> "Ko rolls 1d20+25 Amaryl ACs? and gets 27." [1d20=2]
03[20:10] * Mystia_Ghostfood is now known as Mystia
01[20:10] <Seira> OOC: 28 normal, 30 due to skirmish
[20:10] <Alicia> OOC: Anty's 39, Latha's 41
[20:11] <Ko> But the whirling, bony staircase misses all of them, the two angels flying around it and Amaryl already moving, tumbling backwards and pass a vicious smash! OOC: Wraiths are still retreating. Antenora and Latha.
[20:11] <Alicia> Hearing what Alicia said, Latha calls upon her innate ability to see invisible or ethereal creatures so she can target the cowardly titan!
[20:12] <Ko> Black faces and souls whirl around the skeleton, babies' faces distorted and crying! Latha invokes See Invisiblity, but does not see Melancton! OOC: Rest of Latha's turn/Antenora.
01[20:12] <Seira> "We have about a minute until the wraiths return, give or take," Seira says quietly via the Message spell. "Let's take care of the skeleton before that?"
[20:13] <Alicia> "I can't see him - are you sure?" Latha asks Alicia in confusion as she looks around, while Antenora focuses on the immediate problem and charges the skeleton, impaling her spear through its skull!
[20:13] <Alicia> roll 1d20+25 -4pa charging
06[20:13] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+25 -4pa charging and gets 30." [1d20=5]
01[20:14] <Seira> "I think he went underground," Seira comments. "Didn't see him return yet."
[20:14] <Ko> Antenora flies ahead at the skeleton, but whirling souls deflect her spear, as solid as any steel shield! OOC: Seira.
[20:14] <Alicia> OOC: divine succor on Amaryl, too
[20:14] <Ko> OOC: Okay.
06[20:15] * Seira draws her staff, taking to the air, as she calls for a supercharged fireball to assault the enormous skeleton!
01[20:15] <Seira> roll 10d6+10
06[20:15] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 10d6+10 and gets 46." [10d6=2, 3, 5, 3, 5, 2, 5, 4, 2, 5]
01[20:15] <Seira> roll 1.5*46

[20:16] <Ko> roll 1d20+11
06[20:16] * Hatbot --> "Ko rolls 1d20+11 and gets 21." [1d20=10]
[20:18] <Ko> The skeleton is roasted by another fireball, legs charring as black as a balor's heart! OOC: Alicia.
[20:20] <Alicia> Recalling what Latha told Antenora to do, Alicia tries to see if her superior dispelling magic might hold any sway here. "Tortured marionette of unlife, be at peace and find rest!" she calls, trying to dispel it!
[20:20] <Alicia> roll 1d20+20
06[20:20] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+20 and gets 24." [1d20=4]
[20:20] <Ko> Alicia calls on Mystra's magic...but the skeleton does not listen to her words of power! OOC: Anything else?
[20:20] <Alicia> OOC: I'm done
[20:20] <Ko> OOC: Lagann.
01[20:20] <Seira> OOC: Amaryl, surely?
[20:21] <Ko> OOC: Oh wow, dur. Amaryl.
01[20:22] <Seira> Amaryl retreats thirty more feet, dropping the Sun Blade as she draws the bow she's far more comfortable with, letting loose with a single arrow that births another!
01[20:22] <Seira> roll 1d20+20
06[20:22] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+20 and gets 27." [1d20=7]
01[20:22] <Seira> roll 1d20+20
06[20:22] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+20 and gets 26." [1d20=6]
[20:23] <Ko> But neither arrow can pierce, both bouncing off the bony behemoth and falling ot the ground, snapping in two! OOC: Lagann.
01[20:23] <Seira> Lagann manipulates the Resort until it is safely in Seira's sheath, before picking up this new and exciting blade!
[20:24] <Ko> OOC: Switching? Okay, Skeleton's up.
[20:25] <Ko> The skeleton's burns reform as it makes a few thundering steps forward! It strikes at both Latha and Antenora, mauling at them!
[20:25] <Ko> roll 1d20+25
06[20:25] * Hatbot --> "Ko rolls 1d20+25 and gets 35." [1d20=10]
[20:25] <Ko> roll 1d20+25 Antenora
06[20:25] * Hatbot --> "Ko rolls 1d20+25 Antenora and gets 33." [1d20=8]
[20:26] <Ko> But the luminesence around them stops the stairway, stopping the improptu club! OOC: More.

[20:32] <Ko> From ahead, where Melancton came, you can begin to see a pale white mist creeping ahead, slow and steady. OOC: Wraiths are still fleeing. Antenora/Latha.
[20:35] <Alicia> Latha drops a flame strike on the skeleton, while Antenora takes note of the mist. "Watch out, these might be reinforcements!" she warns, conjuring up a wall of whirling force-blades to block the path!

06[20:36] * Hatbot --> "Ko rolls 1d20+11 and gets 13." [1d20=2]
[20:37] <Ko> A blade barrier comes into life, as more fire burns the skeleton! More than half it's body is charred bone and ash, crumbling here and there! But yet it glows with wailing souls, unrelenting! OOC:  Seira.
06[20:38] * Seira encases herself in acid, flying back towards the skeleton until she is within its striking range.

06[20:41] * Alicia maintains her current position, gesturing at the skeleton as almost two dozen orbs of crackling electricity manifest around her and her images, before lancing across the cavern at it in a furious barrage!

[20:43] <Ko> The skeleton rocks, it's left arm splintering apart and it's skulltop shattering! It looks like it's about to collapse as orbs of lightning strike it and blow parts of it to smithereens! OOC: Amaryl.
01[20:43] <Seira> Amaryl uses this as her chance to chip away at the massive skeleton. It's so huge some of the arrows in her barrage are bound to hit!
01[20:43] <Seira> roll 4#1d20+17

[20:44] <Ko> Amaryl fires arrows after arrow, but none manage to impact the skeleton! OOC: Lagann.
01[20:44] <Seira> Lagann picked up the Sun Blade just at the range of its ability, but it still means he can try and stab it!
01[20:45] <Seira> roll 1d20+22
06[20:45] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+22 and gets 29." [1d20=7]

06[20:45] * Hatbot --> "Ko rolls 1d20+30 AC? and gets 35." [1d20=5]
[20:46] <Alicia> OOC: 41
[20:46] <Ko> The massive stairway ripples through the air, tearing it apart, yet Latha is still too fast! She weaves out of the way, as the floor is vastly impacted! Meanwhile, the white mist comes closer, to within 15 feet of Alicia. OOC: Antenora and Latha re up.
[20:47] <Alicia> Antenora stabs out her spear repeatedly at the chipped and charred skeleton, trying to excabarate its weak points and make the whole thing fall apart!
[20:48] <Alicia> roll 1d20+27 divine succor for Amaryl

[20:49] <Alicia> Latha relies on her spells that have worked well enough so far, calling down Celestia's fiery wrath atop the skeletal behemoth!
[20:49] <Alicia> roll 15d6 DC 20 reflex half
06[20:49] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 15d6 DC 20 reflex half and gets 75." [15d6=5, 3, 6, 6, 5, 6, 5, 3, 4, 6, 6, 5, 6, 6, 3]

[20:50] <Ko> AS Antenora tries in vain to land a blow, another flame strike rocks the skeleton! It's spine crumbles into dust, the entire thing collapsing under it's own weight, the stairway falling to the ground and breaking in two! OOC: Seira.
03[20:50] * Ko changes topic to 'Wraith 1=Wraith 9(32)>Wraith 8(31)>Wraith 12(30)>Wraith 4(29)>Wraith 2(26)>Wraith 5=Wraith 10(23)>Wraith 11(22)>Wraith 7(21)>Wraith 3=Antenora=Latha(18)Wraith 6(16)>Seira(14)>Alicia(12)>Amaryl(9)>Melancton(6)>Lagann(0)>Mist(-2)'

06[20:52] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+18 and gets 22." [1d20=4]

01[20:56] <Seira> roll 1d20+22
06[20:56] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+22 and gets 31." [1d20=9]
[20:56] <Ko> OOC: Into the fog or backwards towards the skeleton?
[20:56] <Alicia> "I think this chamber is warded like where we fought the Nagas - my plane shift didn't work earlier," Latha warns.
[20:56] <Alicia> OOC: back towards the skeleton. Away from fog.
01[20:57] <Seira> "The transportation runes can't be one way if the wraiths used them, right?"
01[20:57] <Seira> Amaryl, in the meantime, wards herself with Shield and regroups with Alicia.
[20:58] <Ko> OOC: Lagann.
[20:58] <Alicia> "Do you see any runes here?" Alicia asks, noting the lack of magical glyph covered slabs in the vicinity.
[20:58] <Ko> Behind the ruined skeleton, one can see it goes fourty feet to a dead end, a wall of sleek black metal.
01[20:59] <Seira> "From the way it's acting, it seems to be some demon fog from this Pale Night character," Seira reports, studying it with a frown. Holy Word or Dispel Evil might work, but only from within, and the fog saps peronality until death. Anyone want to try it anyway?"
01[20:59] <Seira> *personality
01[21:00] <Seira> Lagann enchants some of Amaryl's arrows, in case something they can actually fight appears.
[21:00] <Alicia> "I can try..." Alicia resolves bravely.
01[21:01] <Seira> "If I can still see you, I could try a short ranged teleport if things go badly," Seira tells her. "Whenever you're ready."
[21:01] <Ko> The fog continues to advance closer! As it does, all of you can hear strange, incoherent whispering from within the fog! The fog comes closer, to within 20 feet of the party! OOC: Latha and Antenora.
[21:02] <Alicia> Latha and Antenora both try to dispel it on the off chance they get lucky!
[21:02] <Alicia> roll 1d20+10 Latha
06[21:02] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+10 Latha and gets 11." [1d20=1]
[21:02] <Alicia> roll 1d20+10 Anty
06[21:02] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+10 Anty and gets 14." [1d20=4]
[21:03] <Ko> Neither of the devas can dispel the fog, the magic rolling off it like water off a duck's back! OOC: Seira.
01[21:03] <Seira> OOC: My fog is remaining behind, right? So if Alicia goes there, she's not going to be eaten by acid?
[21:03] <Ko> OOC: Yes.
06[21:04] * Seira waits for Alicia to try their plan, ready to attempt to pull her out if there's a need.
[21:04] <Ko> OOC: Alicia.
06[21:05] * Alicia takes a deep breath, focusing as a shimmering field of white holy energy surrounds her, sparkling brightly amidst the orange flames also coruscating over her form, before she plunges into the mist, discharging the holy power when she's ten feet inside just as Seira suggested!
[21:05] <Ko> OOC: Make a will save first?
[21:06] <Alicia> roll 1d20+28
06[21:06] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+28 and gets 34." [1d20=6]
[21:06] <Ko> roll 1d6 cha drain and make a caster level check.
06[21:06] * Hatbot --> "Ko rolls 1d6 cha drain and make a caster level check. and gets 5." [1d6=5]
[21:07] <Alicia> roll 1d20+18 (+2 if this counts as SR vs an evil outsider)
06[21:07] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+18 (+2 if this counts as SR vs an evil outsider) and gets 36." [1d20=18]
[21:07] <Ko> The whispers are all around Alicia. She can hear them, incoherent and unknowable. Each one whispers a story that cannot be told, should not ever have been. Yet amid it, as Alicia's mind recoils, her pure soul emits the power within her! The fog blinks once and fades away, the voices ceasing! OOC: Free act for the moment.
01[21:08] <Seira> "Are you alright?" Seira asks worriedly, as the fog is dispelled.
[21:09] <Ko> Antenora alights down, "We survived, but Melancton got away." She looks about, "I don't sense his mind, either."
06[21:09] * Alicia grimaces, looking somewhat out of sorts for a moment. "I've been better," she admits honestly as Antenora dispels her blade barrier. "Question is, do we press on or retreat?"
[21:10] <Ko> "Can we retreat? My attempt to banish the skeleton failed," Latha flicks her mace clean, "We may have no choice but to venture deeper in."
01[21:10] <Seira> "Our survival is still somewhat in doubt, since the wraiths return in half a minute," Seira can't help but voice. "Let's advance and see if we can find out more or erode their numbers in the time we have?"
[21:10] <Ko> "Pale Night, too," Looking sidelong at Seira, "The mistress of Androlynne. Are you sure about that?"
01[21:11] <Seira> "It worked as I said it would, didn't it?"
[21:12] <Alicia> "I could try and dispel the anchoring field again, but I could make few attempts," Alicia admits wearily as she takes stock. "That mist sapped at my spirit terribly."
01[21:13] <Seira> "I could take care of the teleportation, at least," Seira offers. "But let's press on for a bit, until we have to think of that."
06[21:13] * Alicia nods, glancing back at the stairway for a moment... is it still babbling?
[21:16] <Ko> The stairway and floor are now silent. Ahead you can see Seira's acid fog, which is blocking further view.
06[21:17] * Seira flies above the fog to glance past it.
06[21:17] * Alicia wonders if slaying the skeleton while those souls were animating it has brought them peace... she hopes so. She walks forward then stops at Seira's fog, not wanting to burn herself if she doesn't have to. "Seira, if you don't mind?" she gestures to it, wanting to proceed while her defensive spells are still up. She most certainly won't be casting them again, now.
[21:19] <Ko> Past the fog is an ornate door. It's of a praying man, split open and slain. His spilt stomach is where the door is placed.
01[21:19] <Seira> With no recourse, Seira dismisses the fog so that they could all proceed.
[21:19] <Ko> The way ahead is clear, the door waiting if one wishes to open it.
[21:20] <Alicia> Any magic on the door?
06[21:20] * Seira checks it for traps!
01[21:20] <Seira> roll 1d20+32 search
06[21:20] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+32 search and gets 39." [1d20=7]
01[21:21] <Seira> "Seems okay. Let's go?"
06[21:22] * Seira waits for Alicia to give her the sign that it's clear before opening the door.
06[21:22] * Alicia pushes open the door!
[21:25] <Ko> The door opens. Ahead is a vast circular room, wide around in all directions. Five other doors are littered at exact equal distances from this one, forming circle-points. The walls are made of black metal, lightless. Above each door is a balor's head, grinning and burping acid, fumes leaking from their mouths. Standing in the center of the room is Melancton, clapping. "You survived a single room. Were your deaths not pre-destined, I would be impre
[21:25] <Ko>  "You survived a single room. Were your deaths not pre-destined, I would be impressed." His wounds are gone, body whole. "Come then, let us finish our battle!" OOC: Roll init, he's not doing much besides throwing down and trying to kill you. Again.
01[21:25] <Seira> roll 1d20+6
06[21:25] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+6 and gets 22." [1d20=16]
01[21:25] <Seira> roll 1d20+8 A
06[21:25] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+8 A and gets 21." [1d20=13]

[21:26] <Ko> roll 1d20+2
06[21:26] * Hatbot --> "Ko rolls 1d20+2 and gets 4." [1d20=2]
03[21:26] * Ko changes topic to 'Latha(24)>Seira(22)>Amaryl=Alicia(21)>Melancton(19)>Antenora(12)>????(4)'
[21:26] <Ko> OOC: Go Latha.
03[21:27] * Seira changes topic to 'Latha(24)>Seira(22)>Amaryl=Alicia(21)>Melancton(19)>Antenora(12)>????(4)>Lagann(0)'
[21:27] <Ko> OOC: Oh right, dur.
[21:27] <Ko> OOC: Anyway, Latha.
[21:28] <Alicia> Flame Strike's worked well so far, so Latha does it again, calling down a pillar of divine fire atop Melancton's head!
[21:28] <Ko> OOC: Caster level check.
[21:28] <Alicia> OOC: wait, no she doesn't
[21:28] <Ko> OOC: Okay then.
[21:30] <Alicia> Latha attempts to dispel any protective spells Melancton might have on him!
[21:30] <Alicia> OOC: targetted dispel, how many?
[21:30] <Ko> OOC: Two.
[21:30] <Alicia> roll 1d20+10
06[21:30] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+10 and gets 26." [1d20=16]
[21:30] <Alicia> roll 1d20+10
06[21:30] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+10 and gets 20." [1d20=10]
[21:31] <Ko> Latha disrupts the magic around Melancton, causing one enchantment to fade backinto the Weave! OOC: Seira.
06[21:31] * Seira decides to see how Melcanton likes being hit with an overwhelming orb of acid. "Someone who ran away like a little bitch to chug down healing potions shouldn't be bragging!" she calls to him, sending the orb on its course.
01[21:32] <Seira> roll 1d20+21
06[21:32] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+21 and gets 31." [1d20=10]
[21:32] <Ko> OOC: Hit.
01[21:32] <Seira> roll 15d6+5d8+15
06[21:32] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 15d6+5d8+15 and gets 90." [15d6=2, 4, 2, 5, 2, 3, 6, 5, 2, 4, 3, 6, 1, 6, 2][5d8=6, 1, 6, 7, 2]
01[21:32] <Seira> OOC: fort or sickened
[21:32] <Ko> roll 1d20+26 yeah, titans are con machines.
06[21:32] * Hatbot --> "Ko rolls 1d20+26 yeah, titans are con machines. and gets 39." [1d20=13]
[21:34] <Ko> The acid orb splashes right on Melancton's chest, acid sizzling on him! "I'll brag over your broken body, then!" OOC: Amaryl/Alicia tag team.
01[21:34] <Seira> Amaryl attempts to perforate the turncoat titan with fiery arrows, knowing this is the best chance she'll have of hitting the fiend!
01[21:34] <Seira> roll 4#1d20+17
06[21:34] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 4#1d20+17 and gets 121." [4#1d20+17 = 25, 24, 37, 35]
01[21:34] <Seira> roll 2#1d20+12
06[21:34] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 2#1d20+12 and gets 36." [2#1d20+12 = 23, 13]
[21:35] <Ko> OOC: One crit threat on a 20.
01[21:35] <Seira> roll 1d20+17
06[21:35] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+17 and gets 22." [1d20=5]
[21:35] <Ko> OOC: One normal hit.
01[21:36] <Seira> roll 1d8+4+2d6+1d6
06[21:36] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d8+4+2d6+1d6 and gets 17." [1d8=3][2d6=6, 3][1d6=1]
06[21:36] * Alicia was going to tell Melancton where to stick his being impressed, but Seira really said it all. So she settles for drawing the sword of the sealed gate and hurling it at him to ensure he won't be retreating from this battle!
[21:36] <Alicia> roll 1d20+36 smite divine might
06[21:36] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+36 smite divine might and gets 42." [1d20=6]
[21:36] <Ko> OOC: This time flatfooted actually does help you.
01[21:37] <Seira> Amaryl then takes a step back, so that if the titan charges, he'll have to pass by Seira.
[21:37] <Alicia> roll 1d8+30
06[21:37] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d8+30 and gets 34." [1d8=4]
[21:38] <Ko> Arrow and a flying sword both wound Melancton, minor wound sthat nonetheless bind him with astral chains! Melancton just smirks, lightning dancing amid the heroes! OOC: Chian lightning, SR check coming for those with SR.

[21:39] <Ko> OOC: All passed.
[21:42] <Ko> The shock leaves the party reeling, then Melancton gestures! A storm of pure fire erupts around the party, searing everyone!
[21:42] <Ko> roll 1d20+20 SR, relevant for only Latha
06[21:42] * Hatbot --> "Ko rolls 1d20+20 SR, relevant for only Latha and gets 28." [1d20=8]

[21:43] <Ko> OOC: Both passed.
[21:44] <Ko> The party staggers with lightning and fire, as if the wraht of the elements was unleashed on them! But all survive, burnt, shocked, shaken, but still enduring! OOC:  Antenora.
[21:45] <Alicia> Antenora glares at the titan, setting her feet and preparing to punish him the next time he tries to cast a spell...
[21:45] <Ko> OOC: Holding?
[21:45] <Alicia> OOC: readied action to interrupt his next spell
[21:46] <Ko> At this, the balor's heads burp up! Globs of acid come out of each, six disgusting, foul projectiles arching at the party!

01[21:52] <Seira> roll 1d20+32
06[21:52] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+32 and gets 36." [1d20=4]

06[21:54] * Hatbot --> "Ko rolls 2d6 acid and gets 6." [2d6=1, 5]
[21:54] <Ko> OOC: You two are up, go.
01[21:54] <Seira> Amaryl calls upon the power within her ring, bestowing Haste upon everyone! Once she is done, she retreats so that the statues, at least, would not be able to target her.
01[21:56] <Seira> OOC: 20ft away from the entrance
06[21:56] * Alicia endures the acid as best she can, dropping the sword of the sealed gate and flying over and around Melancton to flank him with Seira, Hell Striker slashing across his head as she descends!

[22:00] <Ko> Alicia flies around Melancton's head, carving into his shoulder! She manages the wound, arcane fire giving him another scar! Yet he turns, engaging them, "THen I'll crush you with my hammer!"

06[22:01] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+20 SR to see if he gets 15 fire damage for hitting me and gets 39." [1d20=19]
[22:01] <Ko> OOC: Let me resolve the attacks before the add ons, okay?
[22:01] <Ko> roll 1d20+30 Seira again
06[22:01] * Hatbot --> "Ko rolls 1d20+30 Seira again and gets 49." [1d20=19]
[22:01] <Ko> roll 1d20+30 Seira again crit?
06[22:01] * Hatbot --> "Ko rolls 1d20+30 Seira again crit? and gets 34." [1d20=4]
[22:01] <Ko> roll 1d20+25 Alicia
06[22:01] * Hatbot --> "Ko rolls 1d20+25 Alicia and gets 41." [1d20=16]
01[22:01] <Seira> OOC: AC is 36
[22:01] <Ko> roll 1d20+20 Seira
06[22:01] * Hatbot --> "Ko rolls 1d20+20 Seira and gets 31." [1d20=11]
[22:02] <Alicia> OOC: AC 31 here
[22:02] <Ko> roll 1d7 Alicia images
06[22:02] * Hatbot --> "Ko rolls 1d7 Alicia images and gets 2." [1d7=2]
[22:02] <Ko> roll 1d6 images 2
06[22:02] * Hatbot --> "Ko rolls 1d6 images 2 and gets 6." [1d6=6]
[22:03] <Ko> roll 4d6+30 hit one on Seira
06[22:03] * Hatbot --> "Ko rolls 4d6+30 hit one on Seira and gets 48." [4d6=5, 6, 6, 1]
[22:03] <Ko> roll 4d6+30 hit two on Seira
06[22:03] * Hatbot --> "Ko rolls 4d6+30 hit two on Seira and gets 48." [4d6=2, 6, 6, 4]
03[22:04] * Mystia is now known as Mystia_Ghostfood
[22:04] <Ko> Amid the storm of hammerings, Alicia's images are paired down! Meanwhile Seira is hit twice hard enough to send her flying back in a tumbling mess, blood erupting from her mouth! OOC:  Antenora.
01[22:05] <Seira> "How do you like crushing me?" Seira asks the titan with a pained grin, grunting at the landing hammer strikes.
[22:05] <Ko> OOC: Add on damages, by th eway?
01[22:05] <Seira> OOC: 60 acid from me to him
[22:06] <Alicia> OOC: none for me since he hit images, but +15 damage on my earlier attack
[22:06] <Alicia> Wishing she hadn't hesitated now, Antenora comes flying forward to join Seira in the melee, her spear surging forward to penetrate the titan's armour!
[22:06] <Alicia> roll 1d20+35 furious strike, charge, paladin smite, -8pa
06[22:06] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+35 furious strike, charge, paladin smite, -8pa and gets 52." [1d20=17]
[22:07] <Ko> OOC: Hit.
[22:07] <Ko> OOC: Counts as an evil outsider.
[22:07] <Alicia> roll 2d8+86+2d6+2d6 and -1 con
06[22:07] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 2d8+86+2d6+2d6 and -1 con and gets 106." [2d8=6, 1][2d6=3, 1][2d6=3, 6]
[22:09] <Ko> Antenora charges in with all she has, impaling Melancton in the ribs! This blow makes him stagger, blood leaking down in a dreadful hurry from his wounds! His eyes glaze over, the grip on his hammer loosening! OOC Shooters are up.
[22:09] <Ko> More acid comes flying!
[22:09] <Ko> roll 1d20+12 Alicia
06[22:09] * Hatbot --> "Ko rolls 1d20+12 Alicia and gets 23." [1d20=11]

06[22:09] * Hatbot --> "Ko rolls 1d20+12 Latha and gets 19." [1d20=7]
[22:09] <Ko> OOC: ACs?
01[22:10] <Seira> OOC: 18 at the moment
[22:10] <Alicia> OOC: Alicia's AC 16 away from Latha, Anty's 18. Latha's still 20
[22:10] <Ko> roll 6d6 acid Alicia
06[22:10] * Hatbot --> "Ko rolls 6d6 acid Alicia and gets 23." [6d6=6, 2, 5, 3, 2, 5]
[22:10] <Ko> roll 6d6 Seira
06[22:10] * Hatbot --> "Ko rolls 6d6 Seira and gets 13." [6d6=2, 4, 3, 2, 1, 1]
[22:10] <Ko> roll 6d6 Antenora
06[22:10] * Hatbot --> "Ko rolls 6d6 Antenora and gets 15." [6d6=4, 1, 4, 2, 2, 2]
[22:10] <Ko> roll 6d6 Latha
06[22:10] * Hatbot --> "Ko rolls 6d6 Latha and gets 23." [6d6=5, 5, 2, 6, 3, 2]

[22:11] <Ko> OOC: Lagann.
01[22:11] <Seira> Lagann does his best to score a hit!
01[22:11] <Seira> roll 1d20+25
01[22:11] <Seira> roll 1d20+25
06[22:11] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+25 and gets 30." [1d20=5]
06[22:11] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+25 and gets 32." [1d20=7]
01[22:11] <Seira> roll 1d20+20
06[22:11] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+20 and gets 34." [1d20=14]
01[22:11] <Seira> roll 1d20+15
06[22:11] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+15 and gets 21." [1d20=6]
[22:12] <Ko> OOC: No love, not with the -5 CE he took.
[22:12] <Ko> Melancton whirls about, on full defense as he stops Lagann from coming close to stabbing him once more! Meanwhile, acid burns on Latha's face, but her pristine skin does not flake or char in the least! OOC: Latha.
01[22:13] <Seira> roll 1d20+28
06[22:13] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+28 and gets 36." [1d20=8]
[22:14] <Alicia> Latha idly wipes the acid out of her eyes, unbothered entirely by its presence. Seeing the titan is close to falling but knowing the ruin he can inflict if he remains in the fight much longer, she flies forward to clatter her mace on the side of his head!
[22:14] <Alicia> roll 1d20+27
06[22:14] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+27 and gets 37." [1d20=10]
[22:15] <Ko> OOC: Now Latha will get AoOed, she lacks reach and can't tumble.
[22:15] <Ko> roll 1d20+35 clang
06[22:15] * Hatbot --> "Ko rolls 1d20+35 clang and gets 53." [1d20=18]
[22:15] <Ko> roll 4d6+30 beats her DR
06[22:15] * Hatbot --> "Ko rolls 4d6+30 beats her DR and gets 46." [4d6=5, 5, 5, 1]
[22:16] <Ko> Latha charges in, but her mace is avoided! In retort, she's slammed down hammer first into the ground, ribs crushed under the titan's maul! OOC: Seira. Acid damage first.
[22:16] <Ko> roll 2d6
06[22:16] * Hatbot --> "Ko rolls 2d6 and gets 3." [2d6=2, 1]
[22:16] <Ko> The acid continues to eat at Seira's back, eroding away her flesh!
06[22:17] * Seira directs the Resort to cut the traitor's throat, even as she steps back and calls for a downpour of water on all of them to wash away the hateful acid!
01[22:17] <Seira> roll 1d20+34
06[22:17] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+34 and gets 52." [1d20=18]
01[22:17] <Seira> roll 1d20+34 crit?
06[22:17] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+34 crit? and gets 52." [1d20=18]
[22:17] <Ko> OOC: Crit.
01[22:17] <Seira> roll 9d8+45 not alive, I guess
06[22:17] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 9d8+45 not alive, I guess and gets 91." [9d8=4, 5, 5, 5, 8, 3, 5, 4, 7]
[22:18] <Ko> As a gush of water appears, washing away acid from bodies and soothing the dreadful burns, Melancton's chest is pierced! He wobbles back, pawing at his chest as blood comes racing down, "Imposs..." he grunts, "I am a Ti...I cannot be..." With that he falls over, rattling the ground. His body fades away, leaving behind his armor, weapon and a pair of rings.
[22:18] <Ko> OOOC: Amaryl and Alicia are up.
01[22:19] <Seira> "Yeah, whatever," Seira mutters, continuing to retreat out of the room.
03[22:19] * Ko changes topic to 'Latha(24)>Seira(22)>Amaryl=Alicia(21)>Melancton(19)>Antenora(12)>????(4)>Lagann(0)'
03[22:19] * Ko changes topic to 'Latha(24)>Seira(22)>Amaryl=Alicia(21)>Antenora(12)>????(4)>Lagann(0)'
01[22:20] <Seira> Amaryl uses the wand of healing to restore a bit of Seira's health, in case something horrible appears and tries to eat them.
01[22:20] <Seira> roll 1d8+1
06[22:20] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d8+1 and gets 2." [1d8=1]
[22:20] <Ko> Seira's wounds are slightly soothed! OOC: Antenora.
01[22:20] <Seira> OOC: Actually, on herself, not on me. Not sure how sheath works.
[22:20] <Ko> OOC: Okay.
[22:20] <Ko> OOC: Anyway, Antenora's up.
[22:21] <Alicia> "Tch..." Antenora looks at the lack of remains from where the titan fell, before turning and fleeing along with Seira away from the acid spewing statues.
[22:21] <Alicia> Alicia does the same, leaving Latha alone with them!
[22:22] <Ko> Thus the two flee! Acid shoots at Latha! It covers her in dripping foulness, but fails to wound her atall! OOC: Lagann.
01[22:22] <Seira> Lagann carefully retrieves first Amaryl's sacred blade, and then the titan's belongings, one by one.
[22:24] <Ko> OOC: Okay, Latha.
[22:24] <Alicia> Latha grabs Alicia's fallen sword as she sedately follows the rest of the group out, entirely unbothered by the acid.
[22:25] <Ko> OOC: Free act for the moment.
[22:26] <Ko> Antenora leans against a wall, "Safe for now." She exhales, spear still in hand. "How're the rest of you?"
01[22:26] <Seira> roll 2d8+10
06[22:26] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 2d8+10 and gets 19." [2d8=2, 7]
[22:26] <Alicia> As most of Alicia's protections wear off and she sags tiredly, she offers her portable hole to Antenora. "Put all the titan
01[22:26] <Seira> "In pretty horrible pain, but I'll live."
[22:27] <Alicia> 's belongings in there?" she asks, accepting her sword back from Latha and sheathing it before she heals Seira.
[22:27] <Ko> Antenora goes over, her healing hands soothing Seira's wounds, before she packs the things into Alicia's hole. OOC: +16 HP.
[22:27] <Alicia> roll 18d4+18
06[22:27] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 18d4+18 and gets 66." [18d4=2, 4, 2, 3, 4, 2, 3, 3, 3, 4, 1, 3, 2, 1, 4, 1, 4, 2]
[22:27] <Ko> OOC: Strike, since yous till have acid up.
[22:27] <Alicia> OOC: oh yeah, say I healed Latha instead
06[22:29] * Seira resolves to casting an extended spell of Bear's Endurance upon herself.
[22:29] <Ko> Rubbing her remaining wounds, "We need to keep moving. I have no doubt more forces are coming towards us as we idle."
[22:29] <Alicia> Latha returns the favour with a pair of dispel evils on Alicia which she absorbs before converting into healing energy for herself.
[22:29] <Alicia> roll 18d4+18
06[22:29] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 18d4+18 and gets 71." [18d4=1, 4, 3, 2, 4, 3, 3, 2, 1, 1, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 3, 2, 4]
[22:30] <Alicia> "Then we can find out if Melancton was the greatest of their champions or the least," Alicia muses, moving to heal Amaryl.
[22:30] <Alicia> roll 3d8+15
06[22:30] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 3d8+15 and gets 22." [3d8=1, 3, 3]
[22:31] <Alicia> OOC: 12hp lay on hands, too
01[22:31] <Seira> roll 3d8+3 Amaryl'll use the wand of CLW, too
06[22:31] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 3d8+3 Amaryl'll use the wand of CLW, too and gets 18." [3d8=5, 6, 4]
[22:32] <Alicia> Latha fills Alicia up with several more dispel evils which are converted to spellfire. "Alright, that room's small enough that I can destroy all those statues in one blast of spellfire. It'll take out the walls, floor, doors, and ceiling as well, so we'll see what lies ahead in all directions... and possibly flood the place. Everyone ready?"
01[22:33] <Seira> "As ready as we can be. At least we'll still be able to breathe?"
[22:35] <Alicia> "As will all the undead, which is the only reason I didn't try blowing the roof at the outset," Alicia notes with a grim smile. Making sure everyone's well back from the door, she takes a deep breath and she flies quickly into the cenre of the room where Melancton died, drawing on her inner welspring of power and unleashing it in a ruinous spherical blast!
[22:35] <Alicia> roll 18d8 DC 24 reflex half, 70ft radius
06[22:35] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 18d8 DC 24 reflex half, 70ft radius and gets 76." [18d8=8, 8, 5, 2, 2, 5, 4, 6, 3, 3, 1, 1, 8, 4, 2, 3, 3, 8]
[22:36] <Ko> Alicia soars in! Spellfire gushes out, the room's walls devastated! The heads are gone, as well as the doors! Alicia can see each other hallway goes down about sixty feet. At the end of each is a stone arch, glimmering and shimmering with haze and magic. Each one has art of skeletons, wraiths and other undead surrounding them.
06[22:37] * Alicia flaps her wings, staying in place at the centre of the emptied out sphere. "Way's clear," she calls back.
06[22:37] * Seira instantly follows!
[22:37] <Ko> Latha emerges out, peering down each hall. "Looks the same," she observes, "Archways at the end of each."
01[22:38] <Seira> "Let's start from the rightmost and work our way clockwise?" Seira proposes.
[22:38] <Alicia> Any magic that Alicia can see down any of them?
[22:40] <Alicia> roll 1d20+26 spellcraft
06[22:40] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+26 spellcraft and gets 46." [1d20=20]
[22:43] <Alicia> "They're all portalways... given how each dweomer is identical, I'd wager they all go to the same place, so it shouldn't matter which path we take," Alicia surmises.
01[22:44] <Seira> "Nothing to do but try one, then."
[22:46] <Ko> Antenora looks ahead, "Rightmost one like Seira said then?"
06[22:46] * Seira checks the door for traps!
01[22:46] <Seira> roll 1d20+32
06[22:46] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+32 and gets 45." [1d20=13]
[22:46] <Alicia> Latha finally gets around to casting heroism on herself as the group follows Seira.
[22:46] <Ko> The door is rather obliterated. If there were traps on thedoor, spellfire undid them forever.
06[22:46] * Seira proceeds!
[22:47] <Ko> Thus you reach the portalway! It shimmers with haze, nothing seen on the other side, indistinct.
06[22:48] * Seira steps through the portal.
[22:49] <Ko> Seira vanishes away as she steps through the portal!
06[22:49] * Alicia follows after Seira. A bit late in the day to be hesitant about chancing strange portals.
[22:52] <Ko> Thus the party steps through the portal! A moment later, all of you stand in a twenty foot wide square room. Three walls are black iron, covered with glowing ice blue symbols and runes. Twenty feet ahead, the way ahead is stopped by a faint, shimmering barrier. There is a complication...your gear is gone. All of you save Amaryl stand unclad and without a scrap of possessions, save Alicia's ring of eternal celerity.
[22:52] <Ko>  save Alicia's ring of eternal celerity.
[22:53] <Ko> "..." Antenora looks about, "...trapped. Of course. Trapped like lemures."
01[22:55] <Seira> 'It's a trapped portal,' Seira thinks to Amaryl. 'Everything's gone, down to clothes. But it's still a better place to be, rather than the stupid ruins with the wraiths, all alone. Coming?'
[22:55] <Ko> 'I...if that's what you want.' Amaryl answers.
[22:56] <Ko> A moment later, Amaryl appears. She looks about, a faint blush creeping to her cheeks. "So...um....S-Seira, what do we do now?"
01[22:57] <Seira> "Well, I have a few ideas, but how about we destroy that barrier ahead and get our things back?"
[22:57] <Alicia> "We'll get everything back," Alicia wraps her wings around herself for some semblance of modesty given Seira and Amaryl's presence. "This isn't the best situation but it still gets us closer to our foes." She spends a moment studying the weave of magic within the room.
[22:58] <Alicia> roll 1d20+26 spellcraft
06[22:58] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+26 spellcraft and gets 28." [1d20=2]
[22:58] <Ko> "G-good idea," Amaryl murmurs, glancing about before looking down at her toes.
01[22:59] <Seira> "It could be worse," Seira muses, not particularly bothered.
[22:59] <Alicia> "It's just a wall of force - spellfire should be able to disintegrate it," Alicia gestures at the wall and a beam of pure white spellfire blasts out to impact it!
[23:00] <Alicia> roll 8d8 DC 22 reflex for anything within the 280ft line
06[23:00] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 8d8 DC 22 reflex for anything within the 280ft line and gets 40." [8d8=6, 7, 4, 7, 3, 3, 2, 8]
[23:03] <Ko> Alicia's spellfire arches ahead, carving a hole through the Wall of Force! As you do, you hear a harsh clapping sound. Walking ahead out of the darkness, it wears black robes. It has blasphemies sewn into them, searing your eyes with words that must not be. Atop it's fleshless skull is a circlet of white, it's face fixed into a disapproving scowl. It's bony hands clap together, "So, you maggots continue to squirm? Impressive, much how a dying anim
[23:03] <Ko> It's bony hands clap together, "So, you maggots continue to squirm? Impressive, much how a dying animal resists the inexorable death disease inflicts on it's carcass."
01[23:04] <Seira> OOC: Empowered Flame Whips, Cloudkill, Chain Missile, Fearsome Grapple, Targetting Ray are gone
[23:04] <Ko> OOC: Okay.
[23:05] <Alicia> "Not impressive how a dead thing refuses to lay still in the ground like it should," Alicia returns, balling her fists. If this thing thinks it has them where it wants them, it's in for a terribly rude awakening.
[23:06] <Ko> "Be silent, worthless whore!" With a sudden snarl, "You talk to one infinitely above your station! Know your place in eternity and do not speak against your betters! I am here to pass your judgment into oblivion...unless you beg like the rubbish you are. Beg and plead, scream to be allowed to live in my graces."
[23:06] <Alicia> OOC: I'm attacking. Init?
[23:06] <Ko> OOC: If you like, sure.
[23:07] <Alicia> roll 1d20+5 Alicia
06[23:07] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+5 Alicia and gets 9." [1d20=4]
[23:07] <Alicia> roll 1d20+8 Latha
01[23:07] <Seira> roll 1d20+6
06[23:07] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+8 Latha and gets 15." [1d20=7]
[23:07] <Alicia> roll 1d20+5 Anty
06[23:07] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+6 and gets 22." [1d20=16]
06[23:07] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+5 Anty and gets 23." [1d20=18]
01[23:07] <Seira> roll 1d20+6 A
06[23:07] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+6 A and gets 13." [1d20=7]
[23:07] <Ko> roll 1d20+9
06[23:07] * Hatbot --> "Ko rolls 1d20+9 and gets 12." [1d20=3]
03[23:08] * Ko changes topic to 'Antenora(23)>Seira(22)>Latha(15)>Amaryl(13)>Lich?(12)>Alicia(9)'
02[23:08] * Mystia_Ghostfood (~Melanchth@pool-96-231-68-153.washdc.east.verizon.net) Quit (Ping timeout)
[23:08] <Ko> OOC: Latha's up.
[23:08] <Ko> OOC: Er, Antenora.
[23:09] <Alicia> OOC: Latha and Antenora presumably haven't gotten entirely pissed off beyond the banter stage like Alicia has, so neither are going to immediately attack until it's obvious communication has broken down
[23:09] <Ko> OOC: Okay. Seira.
06[23:11] * Seira falls on her last resort. Reading the mood, she can tell things won't resolve by them begging for their lives, and she begins to quietly recite the words to her final contingency spell.
01[23:12] <Seira> OOC: Flame Whips, full round spell
[23:12] <Ko> OOC: Okay. Amaryl then. Is she doing anything?
01[23:12] <Seira> It would be foolish to just stand there and stare, so Amaryl wards herself with Shield.
[23:13] <Alicia> Seeing that Seira is starting to cast, Latha and Antenora both share a moment of silent understanding, focusing their attention on the lich intending to disrupt anything he tries to cast...
[23:13] <Ko> The lich watches with an unreadable expression. "Worms like you only know force against your betters. Try." OOC: Alicia.
[23:16] <Alicia> "Don't." Alicia snarls furiously, a muttered word causing her nude form to once more be empowered by the might of heaven's greatest warriors, pale skin tinting green and muscles standing out starkly on her flesh as she walks brazenly through the whole she carved in the wall of force, confronting the lich. "Don't you dare try to even put up the pretense of civility! Not after what you've done!"
[23:18] <Ko> "I have lead mewling sheep to the butcher's blade." He looks on at Alicia, "I have turned them into something of at least marginal use and thus being worthwhile. If you will not make your lives useful to us, then your corpses and souls shall be!" OOC: Antenora's up, still holding?
[23:19] <Alicia> OOC: she figures interrupting a spell is the most useful thing she can do, so readied action stands. Same for Latha
[23:19] <Ko> OOC: Seira, you're spell finishes. Go.
01[23:21] <Seira> As her arms transform into fiery whips, and something deep within her shifts, Seira silently follows Alicia, taking to the air and flanking the blasphemous thing with her. Once in position, she lashes out, hoping to connect!
01[23:21] <Seira> roll 1d20+23 touch
06[23:21] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+23 touch and gets 38." [1d20=15]
[23:21] <Ko> OOC: Hit.
01[23:22] <Seira> roll 6d6+4d8 fire+sa
06[23:22] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 6d6+4d8 fire+sa and gets 33." [6d6=6, 1, 5, 4, 4, 1][4d8=2, 7, 2, 1]
[23:23] <Ko> The flaming whip rips through the lich...as if it wasn't there, the lich winking out and then back into visibility. With a chuckle that sounds like Hell shifting itself, "Your might is wasted. Now, I shall see how you will die. I wait ahead...surprise me and make it to my throne, so that you may have the undeserved honor," His voice begins to raise, sharp and dry, "Of dying at my hand!" OOC: Alicia.
[23:24] <Alicia> roll 1d20+26 spellcraft, what magic is he using here? And what other magic is around the vicinity?
06[23:24] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+26 spellcraft, what magic is he using here? And what other magic is around the vicinity? and gets 43." [1d20=17]
06[23:28] * Alicia silently curses herself for not paying more attention to the flows of magic. Such inattention will probably get her killed. "Come on, he's just wasting our time," she gestures for the others to follow, ignoring the illusion now and starting down the path it came via.
06[23:28] * Seira follows at Alicia's side, not showing a sign of her settling depression.
[23:28] <Ko> The image thus vanishes a moment later. Antenora beginst o follow, "It's about power. It's always about power, but it's especially like that for him. He did all that just to gloat."
06[23:30] * Alicia sets a brisk pace onwards, desperately hoping for an excuse to punch something before her spell wears off. "Arrogant piece of shit. I can't wait to grind his loathesome bones into dust."
[23:30] <Ko> Advancing ahead, the party comes to a door. It's black metal, carved right out of the wall. A pull ring allows it to be pulled open if one wishes.
[23:30] <Alicia> Is it magic?
[23:31] <Ko> "There's not a drop of light in his soul. In this case, I'll bring light into his heart...and his ribs, his skull cavity, his legbones..." Latha says with a serene, calm smile. "A good, burning light will do him much good."
01[23:32] <Seira> "You're so creepy when you act like that."
06[23:32] * Alicia doesn't hesitate in grabbing the ring and roughly yanking the door open. "It's a creepy I can get behind."
[23:32] <Ko> "I have complete faith that Celestia's light will guide me to victory," Latha says without a hint of worry. "In the darkest is where Celestia shall glow the brightest. Come."
01[23:33] <Seira> "I have complete faith in our chances lying in being too stubborn to die as we should," Seira returns with a shrug.
[23:33] <Ko> You enter to a long hall of black metal. It goes in either direction from you, doors dotted here and there. It stretches farther than you can see from either direction.
[23:33] <Alicia> Any magic?
[23:34] <Ko> "I have faith in Alicia, Seira, Amaryl and Latha." Antenora says quietly, "And in the fact that Marie and Jessica will drag our souls out even if we die."
[23:34] <Ko> Antenora cocks her head, "Problem," she says, "60 feet that way, about ten down. Two minds, wraiths I think."
01[23:35] <Seira> "I was with you until that last bit," Seira mutters. "Wraiths to kill, though? Oh yes!"
06[23:35] * Seira immediately heads in the direction indicated by Antenora.
[23:35] <Alicia> "Which direction?" Alicia asks. Without magic weapons they can hardly do much against wraiths. But Seira seems eager... Oh well, she still has magic missile?
[23:35] <Ko> Amaryl jerks her gaze away from Seira and Latha's rears, blinking. "Wraiths? Where?"
[23:35] <Alicia> OOC: strike me asking direction, since she said that way
[23:35] <Ko> Antenora points to the right. "Latha and I can use holy power, what about the rest of you?"
01[23:36] <Seira> "Fire!"
[23:36] <Alicia> "Magic missile," Alicia smiles weakly.
[23:36] <Ko> At those words...OOC: roll init here?
01[23:36] <Seira> roll 1d20+6
[23:36] <Alicia> roll 1d20+5 Alicia
06[23:36] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+6 and gets 20." [1d20=14]
06[23:36] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+5 Alicia and gets 8." [1d20=3]
01[23:36] <Seira> roll 1d20+6 A

[23:36] <Alicia> roll 1d20+8 Latha
06[23:36] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+8 Latha and gets 17." [1d20=9]
[23:36] <Alicia> roll 1d20+5 Anty
06[23:36] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+5 Anty and gets 13." [1d20=8]
[23:36] <Ko> roll 1d20+13 Wraith 1
06[23:36] * Hatbot --> "Ko rolls 1d20+13 Wraith 1 and gets 30." [1d20=17]
[23:36] <Ko> roll 1d20+13 Wraith 2
06[23:36] * Hatbot --> "Ko rolls 1d20+13 Wraith 2 and gets 14." [1d20=1]
03[23:37] * Ko changes topic to 'Wraith 1(30)>Seira(20)>Latha(17)>Amaryl=Wraith 2(14)>Antenora(13)>Alicia(8)'
[23:37] <Ko> A moment later, one of the wraiths erupts out from the metal ground! It's keening voice is heard about, as it darts for Antenora!
[23:37] <Ko> roll 1d20+16 touch
06[23:37] * Hatbot --> "Ko rolls 1d20+16 touch and gets 36." [1d20=20]
[23:37] <Ko> roll 1d20+16 touch this is just insult on injury
06[23:37] * Hatbot --> "Ko rolls 1d20+16 touch this is just insult on injury and gets 23." [1d20=7]
[23:38] <Ko> roll 4d6 and fort
06[23:38] * Hatbot --> "Ko rolls 4d6 and fort and gets 13." [4d6=1, 5, 3, 4]
[23:38] <Alicia> roll 1d20+30
06[23:38] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+30 and gets 50." [1d20=20]
[23:39] <Ko> The touch is terrible, but Antenora refuses to be bowed by it, enduring it without a single cry! OOC: Seira.
06[23:41] * Seira swiftly steps in place as the first wraith appears, having already lead the way as it is, before lashing out at the filthy undead!
01[23:41] <Seira> roll 3#1d20+27
06[23:41] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 3#1d20+27 and gets 98." [3#1d20+27 = 34, 32, 32]
01[23:41] <Seira> roll 3#1d100
06[23:41] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 3#1d100 and gets 72." [3#1d100 = 34, 29, 9]
[23:42] <Ko> Seira's whips lash out, but the phantasm is completely unmoved and unmenaced by them! OOC: Latha.
[23:42] <Alicia> Latha hesitates a moment, since Antenora said there were two. She'll unleash Celestia's wrath when the second appears!
[23:42] <Ko> OOC: Okay. Amaryl and wraith 2 are up.
01[23:44] <Seira> Amaryl tries to defend herself as best she can, stepping back.
01[23:44] <Seira> OOC: Total defense
[23:44] <Ko> The second wraith bursts out, charging right at Alicia! OOC: Latha?
01[23:44] <Seira> OOC: Can I AoO it?
03[23:44] * Ko changes topic to 'Wraith 1(30)>Seira(20)>Latha=Amaryl=Wraith 2(14)>Antenora(13)>Alicia(8)'
[23:44] <Alicia> An instant later a nova of white holy power erupts amidst them!
[23:44] <Ko> OOC: Yes, you have range.
01[23:44] <Seira> roll 1d20+25
06[23:44] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+25 and gets 33." [1d20=8]
[23:44] <Alicia> roll 5d8 DC 19 will half/avoid blindness
01[23:44] <Seira> roll 1d100
06[23:44] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 5d8 DC 19 will half/avoid blindness and gets 27." [5d8=4, 5, 7, 4, 7]

[23:44] <Alicia> roll 1d100
06[23:44] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d100 and gets 41." [1d100=41]
[23:45] <Ko> But again, all the power passes through the wraiths harmlessly!
[23:45] <Ko> roll 1d20+16 Alicia
06[23:45] * Hatbot --> "Ko rolls 1d20+16 Alicia and gets 22." [1d20=6]
[23:45] <Ko> roll 2d6 and fort
06[23:45] * Hatbot --> "Ko rolls 2d6 and fort and gets 9." [2d6=3, 6]
[23:45] <Alicia> roll 1d20+21
06[23:45] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+21 and gets 29." [1d20=8]
[23:45] <Alicia> OOC: oh, images
[23:46] <Ko> roll 1d5
06[23:46] * Hatbot --> "Ko rolls 1d5 and gets 3." [1d5=3]
[23:46] <Ko> Another image has it's heart ripped out, gone! OOC: Antenora and then Alicia.
[23:46] <Alicia> Antenora copies Latha's example, hopefully with more success!
[23:46] <Alicia> roll 5d8 DC 19 will half/avoid blindness
06[23:46] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 5d8 DC 19 will half/avoid blindness and gets 18." [5d8=3, 2, 7, 5, 1]

06[23:47] * Hatbot --> "Ko rolls 1d20+14 and gets 23." [1d20=9]
[23:47] <Ko> The holy smite slams into both wraiths this time, making them slightly flicker as holy power tries to put them back to rest! OOC: Alicia.
06[23:47] * Alicia steps back from the wraith attacking her, pointing her palm at it as a flurry of magic missiles blast out making her feel oh so nostalgic!
[23:47] <Alicia> roll 5d4+5
06[23:47] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 5d4+5 and gets 22." [5d4=3, 3, 3, 4, 4]
[23:49] <Ko> The magic missiles strike true, each one slamming the wraith hard enough to make it's body shake all over! The first wraith keeps on Antenora, touching her to steal her life away!
[23:49] <Ko> roll 1d20+16
06[23:49] * Hatbot --> "Ko rolls 1d20+16 and gets 22." [1d20=6]
[23:49] <Ko> roll 2d6 and fort
06[23:49] * Hatbot --> "Ko rolls 2d6 and fort and gets 5." [2d6=3, 2]
[23:49] <Alicia> roll 1d20+28
06[23:49] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+28 and gets 34." [1d20=6]
[23:49] <Ko> Antenora endures this as well, barely phased by it at all! OOC: Seira.
01[23:49] <Seira> Enraged beyond belief at how her attacks are being dodged so casually, Seira lays into the insulting wraith with all her fury!
01[23:49] <Seira> roll 1d20+27
06[23:49] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+27 and gets 32." [1d20=5]
01[23:49] <Seira> roll 1d100
06[23:49] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d100 and gets 33." [1d100=33]
01[23:50] <Seira> roll 1d20+27
06[23:50] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+27 and gets 35." [1d20=8]
01[23:50] <Seira> roll 1d100
06[23:50] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d100 and gets 51." [1d100=51]
01[23:50] <Seira> roll 6d6+4d8 at last!
06[23:50] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 6d6+4d8 at last! and gets 40." [6d6=1, 5, 6, 4, 6, 2][4d8=6, 2, 7, 1]
01[23:50] <Seira> roll 1d20+27
06[23:50] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+27 and gets 47." [1d20=20]
01[23:50] <Seira> roll 1d100
06[23:50] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d100 and gets 87." [1d100=87]
01[23:50] <Seira> roll 6d6+4d8 just die
06[23:50] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 6d6+4d8 just die and gets 25." [6d6=6, 2, 1, 1, 2, 2][4d8=6, 1, 1, 3]
[23:50] <Ko> OOC: The first or second wraith?
01[23:50] <Seira> OOC: First
[23:51] <Ko> The first wraith is burnt alive, it's ghostly body withering as spectral flames lick it form Seira's arms! OOC: Latha/Amaryl/Wraith 2.
01[23:51] <Seira> Amaryl isn't really suited to this, and thus maintains her defense.
[23:51] <Ko> The second wraith turns, this time gliding ahead for Amaryl! OOC: This triggers an AoO from you, Seira.
[23:51] <Alicia> Latha unleashes another holy smite!
[23:51] <Alicia> roll 5d8 DC 19 will half/avoid blindness
06[23:51] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 5d8 DC 19 will half/avoid blindness and gets 19." [5d8=3, 3, 2, 5, 6]

[23:52] <Ko> roll 1d20+14
06[23:52] * Hatbot --> "Ko rolls 1d20+14 and gets 22." [1d20=8]
06[23:52] * Hatbot --> "Ko rolls 1d20+14 and gets 25." [1d20=11]
01[23:52] <Seira> roll 1d20+25 where do you think you're going  >_<
06[23:52] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+25 where do you think you're going >_< and gets 30." [1d20=5]
01[23:52] <Seira> roll 1d100
06[23:52] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d100 and gets 65." [1d100=65]
01[23:52] <Seira> OOC: Am I in a flanking position with it as well?
[23:53] <Ko> OOC: Yeah, you all are a tightly packed bunch.
01[23:53] <Seira> roll 6d6+4d8
06[23:53] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 6d6+4d8 and gets 43." [6d6=4, 2, 4, 6, 5, 6][4d8=4, 2, 6, 4]
[23:53] <Ko> The wraith's body is tormented, this one burning with ghostfires as well, even as it goes for Amaryl!
[23:53] <Ko> roll 1d20+16
06[23:53] * Hatbot --> "Ko rolls 1d20+16 and gets 20." [1d20=4]
[23:53] <Ko> OOC: AC?
[23:53] <Ko> OOC: Touch, rather.
[23:54] <Ko> But Amaryl is waiting for it, diving to the side and rolling away from the wraith, her hair whirling by, reached for and missed! OOC: Antenora and Alicia.
01[23:54] <Seira> OOC: Touch ac is 10+5+4+4+1
01[23:54] <Seira> OOC: 24, nice
[23:55] <Alicia> Antenora goes for another holy smite!
[23:55] <Alicia> roll 5d8 DC 19
06[23:55] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 5d8 DC 19 and gets 30." [5d8=6, 4, 6, 7, 7]
[23:55] <Alicia> roll 1d100
06[23:55] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d100 and gets 44." [1d100=44]
[23:55] <Alicia> Alicia meanwhile puts all of her magic missiles into the most wounded wraith!
[23:55] <Alicia> roll 5d4+5
06[23:55] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 5d4+5 and gets 21." [5d4=4, 4, 4, 2, 2]
[23:56] <Alicia> OOC: wraith 1
[23:56] <Ko> The wraith flickers terribly, body starting to dissipate, but it clings yet to it's accursed life! OOC: It's up.
[23:56] <Ko> With desperation, it reaches out for Antenora!
[23:56] <Ko> roll 1d20+16
06[23:56] * Hatbot --> "Ko rolls 1d20+16 and gets 28." [1d20=12]
[23:57] <Ko> roll 2d6 and fort
06[23:57] * Hatbot --> "Ko rolls 2d6 and fort and gets 5." [2d6=4, 1]
[23:57] <Alicia> roll 1d20+28
06[23:57] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+28 and gets 39." [1d20=11]
[23:57] <Ko> But again Antenora endures the unholy touchings of her unprotected form! OOC:  Seira.
06[23:57] * Seira attempts to put the impudent wraith out of its misery! Much as she might wish to come to Amaryl's aid, eliminating the numbers of their enemies means more for their survival.
01[23:58] <Seira> roll 1d20+27
06[23:58] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+27 and gets 42." [1d20=15]

06[23:58] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d100 and gets 56." [1d100=56]
01[23:58] <Seira> roll 6d6+4d8
06[23:58] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 6d6+4d8 and gets 32." [6d6=2, 6, 1, 2, 1, 5][4d8=1, 1, 5, 8]
06[23:58] * Seira proceeds with her attack, intending to switch targets when her original one expires.
01[23:58] <Seira> roll 1d20+25
06[23:58] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+25 and gets 26." [1d20=1]
01[23:59] <Seira> roll 1d20+25
06[23:59] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+25 and gets 29." [1d20=4]
01[23:59] <Seira> roll 1d100
06[23:59] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d100 and gets 47." [1d100=47]
Session Time: Sun Oct 25 00:00:00 2009
03[00:01] * Ko changes topic to 'Seira(20)>Latha=Amaryl=Wraith 2(14)>Antenora(13)>Alicia(8)'
[00:01] <Ko> Whipped with pure fire, the first wraith fades away, leaving only the second! It reaches for Amaryl once more! OOC: All three are up, I'm just resolving it first. Ia ssume Amaryl's still dodging?
01[00:01] <Seira> Amaryl continues to dodge!
[00:01] <Ko> roll 1d20+16
06[00:01] * Hatbot --> "Ko rolls 1d20+16 and gets 22." [1d20=6]
01[00:01] <Seira> OOC: Still 24!
[00:01] <Alicia> Latha smites mightily!
[00:01] <Alicia> roll 5d8 DC 19
06[00:01] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 5d8 DC 19 and gets 22." [5d8=6, 3, 5, 7, 1]
[00:01] <Alicia> roll 1d100
06[00:01] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d100 and gets 73." [1d100=73]
[00:02] <Ko> As Amaryl whirls and evades, the phantasm blinks out of sight, vaporising into holy energies! OOC: Free act.
[00:02] <Ko> Antenora looks around, whipping her head about, her hair following. "I don't sense any more minds nearby," she says after a few moments.
[00:02] <Alicia> "Good, that's the last of them," Alicia nods in satisfaction, going to push/pull open the nearest door on this side of the hallway.
06[00:03] * Seira looks down at her transformed hands, then at Amaryl and gives her a hesitant smile.
[00:03] <Ko> The door opens. You see a room much like the one youc ame into, down to the wall of force shimmering.
[00:04] <Ko> Amaryl smiles back. She goes to Seira and hugs her, "We'll make it...to be honest...this is kind of exciting when I get caught up in it."
06[00:04] * Alicia dismisses it promptly and moves onto the next one.
01[00:04] <Seira> "Really? Exciting wouldn't be what I'd call it, but admittedly, that's only because I dragged you into this."
[00:04] <Ko> You walk down a little further, the same thing as the last. Latha pads along, following. "How many holding cells do they have?"
01[00:05] <Seira> "As many as the portals they had?"
[00:05] <Ko> Blushing now, "It's dangerous and heart racing and exciting and very pretty," Amaryl whispers back.
[00:05] <Alicia> "We'll keep looking till we find something," is all Alicia can say, swiftly moving on while she still has her most powerful magic backing her up.
[00:06] <Ko> "We'll find an end to them sooner or later," Antenora takes up the rear, keeping a watch out. The next door is the same, but ahead, you see an end to the hall. A large arch is ahead, filled in with black bricks. A single doorway is in the center, made of black metal.
01[00:06] <Seira> "For that kind of exciting, we can just invite everyone to a hotspring resort," Seira whispers back with a roll of her eyes, not falling behind as Alicia sets the pace.
[00:07] <Alicia> OOC: any magic?
[00:07] <Alicia> roll 1d20+26 spellcraft
06[00:07] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+26 spellcraft and gets 29." [1d20=3]
[00:09] <Alicia> "There's an evocation trap on the door," Alicia warns. "If Seira can't disable it without her tools then Latha might at least be able to resist it," she suggests.
06[00:09] * Seira waves a fiery whip in response. "If we wait for my trump card to expire to try this, I'll be very sad."
[00:09] <Alicia> "We can try dispelling it instead," Antenora volunteers as she and Latha try doing so.
[00:09] <Alicia> roll 1d20+10
06[00:09] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+10 and gets 30." [1d20=20]
[00:09] <Alicia> roll 1d20+10
06[00:10] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+10 and gets 24." [1d20=14]
[00:10] <Ko> Antenora casts dispel magic, waving her hand! The magic around the door fades away.
[00:10] <Alicia> "That did it," Alicia smiles, going to open the door.
[00:11] <Ko> Ahead of you lies a long hall. It's 20 feet wide, past that fenced off with wooden fences. Lying within the fences are...bodies. More bodies than you can see, simply lying there. The stench of fresh death is night overwhelming to you! OOC: Fort all.
01[00:12] <Seira> roll 1d20+18 A
06[00:12] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+18 A and gets 38." [1d20=20]
[00:12] <Alicia> roll 1d20+21 Alicia (+4 vs evil)
06[00:12] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+21 Alicia (+4 vs evil) and gets 38." [1d20=17]
[00:12] <Alicia> roll 1d20+24 Anty (+4 vs evil)
01[00:12] <Seira> roll 1d20+23
06[00:12] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+24 Anty (+4 vs evil) and gets 30." [1d20=6]
06[00:12] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+23 and gets 24." [1d20=1]
[00:12] <Alicia> roll 1d20+16 Latha (+4 vs evil)
06[00:12] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+16 Latha (+4 vs evil) and gets 22." [1d20=6]
[00:13] <Ko> The smell is simply too much. While Alicia, Amaryl and Antenora can withstand it, Latha and Seira give! Their stomachs protest, erupting out their mouths as they bend over, being terribly sick!
[00:13] <Ko> OOC: Latha and Seira are nauseated for 3 rounds.
[00:14] <Ko> Antenora brings a wing up over her face, coughing. "Ugh...that charnel stench...!"
[00:15] <Ko> Amaryl turns away, gagging. "Waukeen..." she whimpers.
01[00:15] <Seira> 'It's the same!' Seira thinks in terror, dropping to her knees and unable to control herself.
[00:16] <Alicia> Alicia's cheeks bulge momentarily, her emerald skin adopting a far more sickly greenish cast as she covers her mouth and nose. "Gods... didn't they use them up on their attacks?" She promptly pulls the door shut. "We're going the other way."
[00:16] <Ko> "We're going to come back," Antenora staggers away, "Mystra as my witness, I'll burn each of them with fire to purify them."
[00:17] <Ko> Amaryl goes to Seira's side, holding her shoulders and hair back, "What was," she murmurs into her ear. "Shh."
06[00:17] * Seira closes her eyes, trying to find her lost focus.
[00:17] <Alicia> "Not right now, though," Alicia says with a meaningful look at the distressed Seira and Latha.
[00:18] <Ko> The spasms pass for both women, Antenora going to help Latha up, while Amaryl does the same with Seira.
[00:19] <Alicia> Her transformation spell is a lost cause at this point, so Alicia doesn't mind spending a moment on a cantrip to clean up Seira and Latha, washing away the foul odours. "Shall we try the other direction?"
01[00:19] <Seira> "We have to destroy that place," Seira insists, struggling to her feet. "Before all else!"
06[00:21] * Alicia certainly doesn't mind. "Are you sure?" she checks, not wanting to force anyone to face such an endless charnel house.
01[00:22] <Seira> "We can't let them be used to attack their own homes, their own families!" Seira turns towards Latha. "You talked about overkill? This is where you should cut loose!"
[00:23] <Ko> Latha nods, "Your goal is pure...and I can think of no reason to dissent, save our own wellbeing. Let us go then and bring rest to those who yearn for it."
06[00:24] * Alicia nods, amping up the pine scent of her cantrip to hold off on the nausea as she opens the door once more, and conjures several fire elementals, instructing them in Ignan to start as many fires as they can.
[00:24] <Alicia> roll 1d4+1 small elementals
06[00:24] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d4+1 small elementals and gets 5." [1d4=4]
[00:24] <Ko> Latha follows, stepping in, as pillars of fire strike down and about!
06[00:26] * Seira intends to breathe holy fire to cleanse the place!
[00:28] <Ko> Thus fire takes to the endless fields of the dead! They stretch farther than you can see, but so do the flames! Yet as you do..."Incoming," Antenora announces sharply, standing a little back and behind, "It's not a wraith...Alicia, remember the golgotha! We've fought one of these before!"
[00:31] <Alicia> "Golgotha?" Alicia repeats, grabbing a fencepost and ripping it out of the ground before she casts greater magic weapon on it, turning her impromptu club into a lethal weapon. She doesn't recall that word, though...
[00:32] <Ko> Turning, Alicia can see it, about 150 feet away. A giant hound made of skulls and bones...A charnel hound, like the one you fought in the great field of skulls in the ruins.

[Corwin]

[20:03] <Kotono> > Thus fire takes to the endless fields of the dead! They stretch farther than you can see, but so do the flames! Yet as you do..."Incoming," Antenora announces sharply, standing a little back and behind, "It's not a wraith...Alicia, remember the golgotha! We've fought one of these before!"
[20:03] <Kotono> <Alicia> "Golgotha?" Alicia repeats, grabbing a fencepost and ripping it out of the ground before she casts greater magic weapon on it, turning her impromptu club into a lethal weapon. She doesn't recall that word, though...

[20:03] <Kotono> OOC: Roll init here, let's say. Seira/Latha are 30ft into the room, so the hound is 180ft away from them.
[20:04] <Alicia> roll 1d20+5 Alicia
06[20:04] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+5 Alicia and gets 16." [1d20=11]
[20:04] <Alicia> roll 1d20+8 Latha
06[20:04] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+8 Latha and gets 19." [1d20=11]
[20:04] <Alicia> roll 1d20+5 Anty
06[20:04] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+5 Anty and gets 24." [1d20=19]
01[20:04] <Seira> roll 1d20+6
06[20:04] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+6 and gets 18." [1d20=12]
01[20:04] <Seira> roll 1d20+6 A
06[20:04] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+6 A and gets 9." [1d20=3]
03[20:04] * Kotono changes topic to 'Antenora(24)>Latha(19)>Seira(18)>Alicia(16)>Amaryl(9)'
[20:04] <Kotono> roll 1d20+2
06[20:04] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+2 and gets 11." [1d20=9]
03[20:05] * Kotono changes topic to 'Antenora(24)>Latha(19)>Seira(18)>Alicia(16)>Charnel Hound(11)>Amaryl(9)'
[20:05] <Kotono> OOC: Antenora starts.
[20:05] <Alicia> OOC: how high is the ceiling?
[20:06] <Kotono> OOC: Say 25ft up.
[20:07] <Alicia> OOC: can the hound fit through the door into the corridor behind us?
[20:07] <Kotono> OOC: Maybe. It would be a tight fit.
[20:08] <Alicia> Antenora blasts the hound with a holy smite, before she falls back into the corridor!
[20:08] <Alicia> roll 5d8 DC 19 will
06[20:08] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 5d8 DC 19 will and gets 15." [5d8=1, 7, 2, 4, 1]
[20:08] <Kotono> roll 1d20+12
06[20:08] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+12 and gets 18." [1d20=6]
[20:09] <Kotono> OOC: SR check, by the way.
[20:09] <Alicia> roll 1d20+16
06[20:09] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+16 and gets 17." [1d20=1]
[20:10] <Kotono> The holy magic crumbles before the dreadful collection of bodies that advances towards you! OOC: LAtha.
[20:10] <Alicia> Latha follows Antenora's example, knowing that their best chance lies in blinding it before it can savage them!
[20:10] <Alicia> roll 1d20+16
06[20:10] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+16 and gets 36." [1d20=20]
[20:10] <Alicia> roll 5d8 DC 19 will
06[20:10] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 5d8 DC 19 will and gets 19." [5d8=4, 4, 2, 7, 2]
[20:10] <Kotono> roll 1d20+12
06[20:10] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+12 and gets 20." [1d20=8]
[20:11] <Alicia> Latha also retreats to the corridor.
[20:11] <Kotono> A blast of holy power vaporizes some of the body of the hound, a few bits of corpses returned to dust! OOC : Seira and then Alicia.
06[20:12] * Seira follows the pattern with a shrug, tossing a fireball at the mockery of a hound while taking flight.
01[20:12] <Seira> roll 1d20+18
06[20:12] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+18 and gets 31." [1d20=13]
01[20:12] <Seira> roll 10d6 dc17
06[20:12] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 10d6 dc17 and gets 32." [10d6=1, 6, 2, 5, 5, 1, 3, 1, 6, 2]
[20:12] <Kotono> roll 1d20+12
06[20:12] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+12 and gets 31." [1d20=19]
01[20:12] <Seira> OOC: 15ft up it is
[20:12] <Alicia> "Watch out, there's a wraith coming from above!" Antenora warns.
[20:13] <Kotono> The fireball catches the mid-body of the hound, but it charges ahead, the flames only getting a moderate chance to char the outer bodies of the hound! It's still coming! OOC: Alicia.
03[20:14] * Kotono changes topic to 'Antenora(24)>Latha(19)>Wraith=Seira(18)>Alicia(16)>Charnel Hound(11)>Amaryl(9)'
[20:15] <Alicia> Calling out in Ignan for her summoned elementals to place themselves in the path of the hound in hopes of slowing it down, Alicia hands off her impromptu club towards Amaryl before casting a spell, transforming her into a glowing orb of light!
[20:15] <Kotono> OOC: Alter self into a lantern archon?
[20:15] <Alicia> OOC: yep
[20:16] <Kotono> Thus Alicia becomes a floating spirit of law and purity, Amaryl now armed with a magical club, as magic weaves around Alicia! OOC: Hound.
[20:16] <Kotono> The Charnel Hound sprints ahead 80 feet, approaching rapidly despite fire and holy energies flaring around it's body! OOC: It's 70ft from the door and abount 100ft from everyone else past it. Amaryl.
01[20:17] <Seira> "Are we retreating into the corridor, or making our stand at the entrace?" Seira asks.
[20:18] <Alicia> "It probably can't fit in the corridor, and definitely not the side-rooms. We should do anything we can to avoid going toe to toe with it in this state," Alicia reasons, not sounding any different at least.
01[20:21] <Seira> Amaryl retreats out of the doorway at that.
[20:21] <Kotono> OOC: Antenora then.
[20:22] <Alicia> Antenora throws another smite at the onrushing hound!
[20:22] <Alicia> roll 1d20+16
06[20:22] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+16 and gets 31." [1d20=15]
[20:22] <Alicia> roll 5d8 DC 19
06[20:22] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 5d8 DC 19 and gets 20." [5d8=6, 1, 8, 2, 3]
[20:22] <Kotono> roll 1d20+12
06[20:22] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+12 and gets 22." [1d20=10]
[20:22] <Kotono> Another bit of the hound is pulverised, but it stuborrnly refuses to be down, slavering with hunger as it advances! OOC: LAtha.
01[20:22] <Seira> "Is it coming from straight above me?" Seira calls out to Antenora, referring to the wraith she had mentioned.
[20:23] <Alicia> "Looks like it," Antenora confirms as Latha follows her lead, wanting to burn the malign hound with cleansing flames but recognising that blinding it helps them more right now.
[20:23] <Alicia> roll 1d20+16
06[20:23] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+16 and gets 33." [1d20=17]
[20:23] <Alicia> roll 5d8 DC 19
06[20:23] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 5d8 DC 19 and gets 15." [5d8=3, 6, 4, 1, 1]
[20:23] <Kotono> roll 1d20+12
06[20:23] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+12 and gets 19." [1d20=7]
[20:24] <Kotono> OOC: Wraith and Seira. Go ahead and resolve first, Seira.
01[20:24] <Seira> Not questioning her ally in the least, Seira breathes golden flames at the ceiling, gliding down towards the entrance afterwards.
01[20:24] <Seira> roll 8d8 fire?
06[20:24] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 8d8 fire? and gets 50." [8d8=7, 5, 8, 7, 8, 3, 4, 8]
[20:24] <Kotono> As she breathes, a screaming wraith appears out, right into her flames! OOC: Resolve damage and then we'll resolve it's attack.
01[20:24] <Seira> roll 1d100
06[20:24] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d100 and gets 97." [1d100=97]
01[20:25] <Seira> OOC: DC is 18 now
[20:25] <Kotono> roll 1d20+14
06[20:25] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+14 and gets 30." [1d20=16]
01[20:25] <Seira> roll 1d4 as expected
06[20:25] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d4 as expected and gets 3." [1d4=3]
[20:25] <Kotono> roll 1d20+16 touch
06[20:25] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+16 touch and gets 25." [1d20=9]
[20:25] <Kotono> roll 2d6 and fort, Seira.
06[20:25] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 2d6 and fort, Seira. and gets 6." [2d6=2, 4]
01[20:26] <Seira> roll 1d20+23
06[20:26] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+23 and gets 40." [1d20=17]
[20:26] <Kotono> Burned by golden fire as it descends, body turning golden with heat, the wraith grazes SEira's arm, but she's already moving down and out of the worst of it! OOC: Alicia.
[20:28] <Alicia> Nothing she can hurt is in range right now, so Alicia settles for flying into the corridor to join Antenora and Latha.
[20:28] <Kotono> The Charnel Hound advances! IT reaches the doorway, trying to bull through!
[20:29] <Kotono> roll 1d20+9
06[20:29] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+9 and gets 18." [1d20=9]
[20:29] <Kotono> It struggles against the door, but can't get through, only it's head managing to get inside! OOC:Amaryl.
01[20:29] <Seira> OOC: How far from it is she?
[20:30] <Kotono> OOC: About thirty feet, she retreated into the corridor.
[20:30] <Kotono> OOC: It does have reach on her, bear in mind.
01[20:31] <Seira> For as long as the hound is kept at bay, Amaryl uses her chance to cast Shield and position herself before Latha.
[20:31] <Kotono> OOC: Okay. Antenora.
[20:33] <Alicia> Antenora backs off so she's now forty feet down the corridor and well away from the hound, blasting it with another smite!
[20:33] <Alicia> roll 1d20+16
06[20:33] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+16 and gets 26." [1d20=10]
[20:33] <Alicia> roll 5d8 DC 19
06[20:33] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 5d8 DC 19 and gets 17." [5d8=8, 1, 3, 1, 4]
[20:34] <Kotono> roll 1d20+12
06[20:34] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+12 and gets 20." [1d20=8]
[20:34] <Kotono> Again the head of the hound is smited, holy power ravaging it even worse this time! OOC: Latha.
[20:35] <Alicia> Latha tries her own smite, hoping one of them will work as advertised eventually as she follows Antenora to ensure she's well out of biting range!
[20:35] <Alicia> roll 5d8 DC 19
06[20:35] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 5d8 DC 19 and gets 19." [5d8=4, 6, 2, 6, 1]
[20:35] <Alicia> roll 1d20+16
06[20:35] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+16 and gets 23." [1d20=7]
[20:35] <Kotono> roll 1d20+12
06[20:35] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+12 and gets 31." [1d20=19]
[20:36] <Kotono> Again the hound is battered, but again it resists despite lines of white traveling over it's body, like cracks in it's corpse construction! OOC: Wraith'n'Seira.
[20:36] <Kotono> OOC: Go ahead and go first, Seira.
06[20:37] * Seira stays on the defensive for now, keeping in the air near Latha.
[20:37] <Kotono> The wraith changes targets, going for Amaryl before flowing into the ground after!
[20:37] <Kotono> roll 1d20+16
06[20:37] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+16  and gets 28." [1d20=12]
[20:37] <Kotono> OOC: Touch AC?
[20:38] <Kotono> roll 2d6 and fort assuming hit
06[20:38] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 2d6 and fort assuming hit and gets 7." [2d6=3, 4]
01[20:39] <Seira> OOC: Should be 24, counting shield, so yeah
01[20:39] <Seira> roll 1d20+16
06[20:39] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+16 and gets 27." [1d20=11]
[20:39] <Kotono> Amaryl's pristine form is raked by ghostly claws, welts of blood swelling across her shoulders! OOC: Alicia.
01[20:39] <Seira> OOC: I meant 28 counting shield. Such bad luck.
[20:40] <Kotono> OOC: No kidding. Wow.
[20:41] <Alicia> At the edge of her own range 30 feet from the dog, Alicia pings its nose with a pair of beams that bypass its defences!
[20:41] <Alicia> roll 1d20+16 knowledge
06[20:41] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+16 knowledge and gets 32." [1d20=16]
[20:41] <Alicia> roll 1d20+25 ranged touch
06[20:41] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+25 ranged touch and gets 26." [1d20=1]
[20:41] <Alicia> roll 1d20+25 ranged touch
06[20:41] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+25 ranged touch and gets 41." [1d20=16]
[20:41] <Alicia> roll 1d6+4
06[20:41] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d6+4 and gets 9." [1d6=5]
[20:42] <Kotono> Of the beams, one white beam goes into the chin of the beast, flaying away undead flesh and bringing it closer to oblivion! In retort, it tries to force through the doorway once more!
[20:42] <Kotono> roll 1d20+14 Sorry, misread it's STR score, it's 38 and not 28. Dur
06[20:42] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+14 Sorry, misread it's STR score, it's 38 and not 28. Dur and gets 34." [1d20=20]
[20:43] <Kotono> The doorway buckles! The hound gets about three quarters of the way through as the metal distends to it's powerful form! It's not quite through, but it's close! OOC: Amaryl.
01[20:44] <Seira> Amaryl prepares to attack the wraith when it appears!
[20:44] <Kotono> OOC: Okay. Antenora.
[20:44] <Alicia> Antenora puts all her will into this next holy smite!
[20:44] <Alicia> roll 1d20+16
[20:44] <Kotono> The smoke of the burning dead is starting to fill the air, a charnel stench of choking, air depriving intensity.
06[20:44] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+16 and gets 27." [1d20=11]
[20:44] <Alicia> roll 5d8 DC 19
06[20:44] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 5d8 DC 19 and gets 26." [5d8=1, 8, 4, 6, 7]
[20:44] <Kotono> roll 1d20+12
06[20:44] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+12 and gets 17." [1d20=5]
[20:45] <Kotono> This time the hound's eyes are glowing white, overwhelmed by the dazzling holy power that bursts rightin it's face! OOC: Latha.
07[20:45] * Ginrai is on IRC (Ginrai)
[20:45] <Alicia> With it now finally blinded, Latha has no qualms about using something with a little more oomph, calling down cleansing flame atop the vile mutt!
[20:45] <Alicia> roll 15d6 DC 20 reflex
06[20:45] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 15d6 DC 20 reflex and gets 53." [15d6=2, 5, 6, 5, 3, 1, 2, 2, 4, 2, 1, 6, 6, 3, 5]
[20:46] <Alicia> roll 1d20+16 SR
06[20:46] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+16 SR and gets 27." [1d20=11]
[20:46] <Kotono> roll 1d20+9
06[20:46] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+9 and gets 14." [1d20=5]
[20:46] <Kotono> Righteous fire makes a hole in the back of the Hound, bodies burning away in a vicious, nearly cutting in two cylender of righteous justice! OOC: Wraith and Seira.
[20:47] <Kotono> OOC: go ahead and resolve first, Seira.
06[20:47] * Seira dives upon the blinded hound!
01[20:47] <Seira> roll 1d20+19
06[20:47] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+19 and gets 21." [1d20=2]
[20:47] <Kotono> OOC: Hit.

[20:52] <Kotono> Amaryl's clubs miss, as the phantasm reaches in! Her heart is grasped, nearly ripped out as it flies by! Her entire body turns porcelin white, all life and color gone from it in the merest second! OOC:Geez. Alicia.
[20:53] <Alicia> "Antenora, Latha, try to smite the wraith when it comes back!" Alicia urges the two angels, continuing to beamspam the dog!

[20:56] <Kotono> OOC: Wraith, Seira and Amaryl. Seira, go ahead and do yours first, then I'll do the wraith.
01[20:58] <Seira> Amaryl stays on the defensive, as that is her best chance, while Seira moves away from the mutt, breathing fire above Amaryl's head as she hopes to catch the wraith in time.

[21:03] <Kotono> Diving through Amaryl, the wraith turns her body into snow-white flesh! She falls to her knees, lips turning blue and then gray. "S..se..ira..." she cries in a tiny voice, "...co...ld..." Her eyes glaze over, falling face down onto the ground.

[21:04] <Alicia> OOC: the wraith is back in the walls, right?
[21:04] <Kotono> OOC: Yes.
[21:05] <Alicia> "Oh no..." Alicia gasps quietly, before she immediately moves above Amaryl's body, firing a blast of spellfire through the walls in the direction the wraith fled, hoping to catch it! Hopefully her presence can at least keep Amaryl's spirit safe...

[21:06] <Kotono> The spellfire rips forth! It passes through the wraith, burrowing above it 30ft into the wall! Sixty feet up, you see light spilling down, a faint, flickering light, some sort of chamber above! OOC: Hound.

[21:07] <Kotono> roll 1d20+14

06[21:08] * Seira lands quietly.
[21:09] <Alicia> Antenora and Latha both look sadly at Amaryl's corpse, but there's no time to mourn when any of them could be next. Standing back to back, the duo tense ready for its reappearance to punish it with holy light!
[21:09] <Kotono> OOC: The wraith is visible, due to the spellfire hole.
[21:10] <Alicia> OOC: they're waiting for it to approach so they can hit it and the dog at once
[21:10] <Kotono> OOC: Okay.
[21:10] <Kotono> The wraith plummets down like the wrath of Demogorgon, flying down towards Alicia as it swells with stolen life-energy! OOC: Go you two if you're gonna.

[21:15] <Kotono> OOC: Point. Ball then. Anyway, go ahead and go, sec.
06[21:16] * Alicia cancels her transformation, reverting to her humanoid form now that the archon's rays are of little use. "Seira," she gets out while trying to dodge the still hungry wraith. "Mystra granted me a spell to return the dead to life. If we can get to our belongings, we might get her back."
[21:16] <Kotono> OOC: Everyone and the wraith, basically. Everyone can go first.

[21:21] <Kotono> OOC: Okay. Alicia, go.
[21:22] <Alicia> With club in hand she waits for the wraith to return so she can beat the shit out of it, while Latha and Antenora prepare their smites for its reappearance. They can comfort Seira when they're not in imminint danger of sharing Amaryl's fate.

03[21:30] * Kotono changes topic to 'Antenora=Latha=Wraith=Seira=Amaryl(18)>Alicia(16)'
[21:30] <Kotono> Amaryl's body has a hissing sigh escape it, but nothing more happens, as Alicia is once again menaced! All the powers simply miss the wraith!
[21:30] <Kotono> roll 1d20+16
06[21:30] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+16 and gets 17." [1d20=1]
[21:30] <Kotono> But this time Alicia springs out of the way, just barely avoiding the touch, going up and then back down! OOC: Party.
[21:30] <Alicia> roll 1d100 Latha
06[21:30] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d100 Latha and gets 76." [1d100=76]
[21:30] <Alicia> roll 1d100 Anty divine succor Seira
06[21:30] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d100 Anty divine succor Seira and gets 49." [1d100=49]
[21:30] <Alicia> roll 5d8 DC 19 Latha
06[21:30] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 5d8 DC 19 Latha and gets 27." [5d8=8, 2, 8, 1, 8]
[21:30] <Kotono> roll 1d20+14 will
06[21:30] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+14 will and gets 33." [1d20=19]
06[21:31] * Alicia keeps whipping the club out to rip its ethereal form to shreds!
[21:31] <Kotono> OOC: Alicia/Seira.
[21:31] <Alicia> roll 1d20+26
06[21:31] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+26 and gets 29." [1d20=3]
[21:31] <Alicia> roll 1d20+21
06[21:31] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+21 and gets 30." [1d20=9]
06[21:31] * Seira once more strafes the wraith with fire.
[21:31] <Alicia> roll 1d20+16
06[21:31] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+16 and gets 35." [1d20=19]
01[21:31] <Seira> roll 1d100
06[21:31] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d100 and gets 77." [1d100=77]
[21:31] <Alicia> roll 3#1d100
01[21:31] <Seira> roll 8d8
06[21:31] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 3#1d100 and gets 160." [3#1d100 = 35, 64, 61]
06[21:31] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 8d8 and gets 41." [8d8=3, 7, 4, 8, 6, 8, 3, 2]
[21:31] <Alicia> roll 2d6+28
01[21:31] <Seira> roll 1d4
06[21:31] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 2d6+28 and gets 35." [2d6=3, 4]
06[21:31] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d4 and gets 1." [1d4=1]
[21:31] <Kotono> Golden fire erupts around the wraith, it's bodyburning away! As it's last bit of power manifests as gold turns it to air, it desperately reaches for Alicia!
[21:31] <Kotono> roll 1d20+16
06[21:31] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+16 and gets 29." [1d20=13]
[21:31] <Kotono> roll 2d6 and fort
06[21:31] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 2d6 and fort and gets 6." [2d6=2, 4]
[21:32] <Alicia> roll 1d20+23
06[21:32] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+23 and gets 33." [1d20=10]
[21:32] <Kotono> But Alicia endures, the wraith slain! OOC: Free act.
[21:32] <Kotono> Antenora closes her eyes and turns away, her voice a murmuring prayer in Celestial.
[21:33] <Kotono> Latha goes to Seira, walking towards her. In a gentle, loving words filled with warmth that rages against the fortress around you, "Seira. Amaryl still needs your help."
06[21:33] * Seira looks incredulously at Latha.
06[21:34] * Alicia breathes out, the battle won for the moment. Technically Mystra said the scroll was for the Crimson Guard, but she knows Seira needs this. "Seira, we can use the scroll of resurrection Mystra gave me - if Amaryl ignored the temptations of the Magus of Time for you, we can surely bring her back from the afterlife with it."
[21:34] <Kotono> "You heard what Alicia said. We can bring her back if we find our possessions." Looking right back at her, "You have the strength within you to do this, I've seen it before. Come with us." She offers out a hand, "For Amaryl's sake."
06[21:38] * Seira stares at Latha for a long time. "I can't really care, it seems. About anything. But if you want me to kill things for you, I can do that."
[21:40] <Kotono> "Very well then." Latha reaches out, taking Seira's hand, "We'll do that together, and we'll save Amaryl together. We need to keep moving, too."
[21:42] <Kotono> After a moment, "Do we have any means to find our gear fasteR? Hell Striker can communicate if he senses us. What about Lagann, isn't he your familiar? Any magic, too?" Antenora looks up above, "We also have a new path to explore, if we choose to."
[21:42] <Alicia> "Perhaps its best if you were to guard the rear," Alicia suggests, recognising that she's surely in shock and won't be any good to anyone now. Kneeling down, she picks up Amaryl's corpse, appreciating that she's a delicate elf for once. "Lets try climbing up that path I burrowed?" she nods her head to the spellfire tunnel and light glinting at the end of it.
[21:42] <Alicia> "Also, Latha, can you cast dispel evil on me so I can convert it to more spellfire energy?" she asks the deva.
[21:43] <Kotono> Lathat does so, casting it as many times as Alicia wishes.
[21:44] <Alicia> Six castings is enough for the moment, Alicia handing her club off to Antenora and flying up into the sloping tunnel, bracing herself so she can start climbing up with her burden.
[21:46] <Kotono> Thus Alicia flies up 60 feet, Antenora following. Latha looks upward, "Let's go," she urges very gently. "Follow me, Seira?" Above, you come into a room covered in head to toe with black velvet.  The entire room is engraved with eyes carved from bone, embedded into the velvet. Another sixty feet up the blast hole, you see another dim source of light.
[21:47] <Alicia> Any magic?
06[21:47] * Seira follows, staring around with something approaching apathy.
[21:48] <Alicia> roll 1d20+26 spellcraft
06[21:48] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+26 spellcraft and gets 42." [1d20=16]
[21:48] <Kotono> In the room, there's two doors, opposite each other. They are like giant eyes, the pupils slashed apart for small doors.
[21:51] <Alicia> "I think this is where they make the wraiths..." Alicia represses a shudder that has nothing to do with Amaryl's clammy cold skin against her own. "Could you two try dispelling it? I don't like the thought of someone activating it while we're in here."
[21:51] <Kotono> Antenora and Latha attempt so.
[21:51] <Kotono> roll 1d20+10
[21:51] <Kotono> roll 1d20+10
06[21:51] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+10 and gets 15." [1d20=5]
06[21:51] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+10 and gets 15." [1d20=5]
[21:51] <Kotono> roll 1d20+10
[21:51] <Kotono> roll 1d20+10
06[21:51] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+10 and gets 13." [1d20=3]
06[21:51] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+10 and gets 20." [1d20=10]
[21:51] <Kotono> After a few tries, "Nothing. The magic's very strong," Antenora breathes out, before looking to Alicia, "Let's keep moving then, before someone does?"
06[21:52] * Seira can't help but wonder whether it is something she can break.
[21:52] <Alicia> "There's no magic on the doors... lets try the one on the left?" Alicia suggests, starting towards it but leaving the opening to someone with their hands free.
[21:53] <Kotono> Antenora steps forward, opening the door! It leads to a long hall, about sixty feet long. The walls, floor and ceiling are transparent force, only barely visible. A miserably cold breeze blows ahead, Antenora stepping back and covering herself!
[21:54] <Alicia> What's at the end of the sixty feet?
[21:55] <Kotono> At the end of the sixty feet is another door, an archway with a wall of shadows. The door is carved of the same stuff. The floor near it is covered in ice.
[21:55] <Kotono> "I can see ahead," Latha says, "The cold will not slow me, nor will it harm me."
[21:56] <Alicia> "Seira and I are both warded against it as well." Alicia spends a moment to share that same blessing with Antenora. "Lets go, then?" She steps onto the forcefield, her skin crawling at the sensation and her burnt wings ready to take flight at any moment should it give way beneath her.
[21:57] <Kotono> Thus you advance ahead! The wind gets worse, ice forming on your bodies! But you advance on, even as you gain clothing of a sort - a layer of black ice forms on your bodies, making movement slow. But you reach the door! OOC: -10 movement speed. No damage, you're cold protected.
[21:58] <Kotono> "At least the timing of it's fortunate..." Antenora mutters darkly, going to the door. "Seira, do you want to search for traps on it?"
06[21:59] * Seira gives it a try at Antenora's prompting, looking over the door dispassionately.
06[21:59] * Alicia adjusts the dead weight of Amaryl that she carries, really not wanting their skin to become frozen together. "This cold is clearly magical... You two might be able to dispel it?"
01[21:59] <Seira> roll 1d20+27
06[21:59] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+27 and gets 30." [1d20=3]
[21:59] <Kotono> roll 1d20+10
[21:59] <Kotono> roll 1d20+10
06[21:59] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+10 and gets 27." [1d20=17]
06[21:59] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+10 and gets 26." [1d20=16]
[22:00] <Kotono> The ice crumbles away from the party! Meanwhile, Seira finds the door is not trapped.
06[22:00] * Seira opens the door.
[22:00] <Kotono> As Seira opens the door...(More)
[22:01] <Kotono> Ahead lies a plaza. The floor is painted to resemble a gaping mouth of a skull, the planes drawn in it's mouth. Six doors are here, the party coming through one of them.
[22:02] <Alicia> roll 1d20+26 spellcraft
06[22:02] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+26 spellcraft and gets 31." [1d20=5]
01[22:03] <Seira> "Lagann," Seira states, using the word to call upon the draconic magic of location almost instinctively.
[22:03] <Alicia> "This place is warded against divination... probably where they hold meetings," Alicia muses, stepping inside, before blinking in surprise and looking at Seira. "Can you sense him?"
[22:04] <Kotono> "We're close? Thank Mystra," Antenora turns back, "Which way?"
01[22:04] <Seira> "It has been very quiet lately," Seira explains to Alicia. "Of course I would sense anything."
06[22:04] * Seira proceeds down the plaza, at that.
[22:05] <Kotono> Latha and Antenora follow Seira. She reaches the door directly opposite this one without incident.
06[22:05] * Alicia isn't quite sure what Seira means by that, but since she seems to be showing some initiative she's just going to be grateful for it, and follows along after the half-dragon.
06[22:07] * Seira heads straight ahead, intent on opening the door at the end of her path one way or the other.
[22:08] <Kotono> The door opens! Ahead is a large room, a single door in the back. This door is covered with runes all over, glowing with arcane fury! But ahead of it...ahead of it...it is carved from one vast block of stone. It is humanoid in shape, a giant creature of pure stone! It's eyes are lifeless, but it begins to move as the party approaches! OOC: This is obviously a problem. Roll init here.
01[22:08] <Seira> roll 1d20+6
[22:08] <Alicia> roll 1d20+5 Alicia
06[22:08] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+5 Alicia and gets 15." [1d20=10]
06[22:08] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+6 and gets 22." [1d20=16]
[22:08] <Alicia> roll 1d20+8 Anty
06[22:08] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+8 Anty and gets 13." [1d20=5]
[22:09] <Kotono> roll 1d20-2
06[22:09] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20-2 and gets 17." [1d20=19]
[22:09] <Alicia> roll 1d20+5 Anty (+8 was Latha)
06[22:09] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+5 Anty (+8 was Latha) and gets 22." [1d20=17]
03[22:09] * Kotono changes topic to 'Latha=Seira(22)>Stone creature(17)>Alicia(15)>Antenora(13)'
[22:09] <Kotono> OOC: Go ahead and go, you two.
[22:10] <Alicia> Latha promptly blasts it with a flame strike!
[22:10] <Alicia> OOC: SR?
[22:10] <Kotono> OOC: No need.
[22:10] <Alicia> roll 15d6 DC 20
06[22:10] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 15d6 DC 20 and gets 53." [15d6=4, 4, 5, 5, 4, 4, 5, 1, 5, 6, 2, 4, 1, 2, 1]
[22:10] <Kotono> The spell simply fizzles around the creature, failing to even appear near it! OOC: Seira.
06[22:11] * Seira launches a corrosive orb of acid at what dares stand between she and Lagann!
[22:11] <Kotono> OOC: That doesn't allow SR? Carry on.
01[22:11] <Seira> roll 1d20+19
06[22:11] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+19 and gets 39." [1d20=20]
[22:11] <Kotono> OOC: Hit.
01[22:12] <Seira> roll 5d8
06[22:12] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 5d8 and gets 15." [5d8=1, 3, 6, 4, 1]
[22:13] <Kotono> The golem is hit head on by the acid, sizzling on it's stony body! It lumbers forward, going to the door and slamming out HARD at Latha!
[22:13] <Kotono> roll 1d20+42 yeah it's not missing, golems have crazy to hit
06[22:13] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+42 yeah it's not missing, golems have crazy to hit and gets 55." [1d20=13]
[22:13] <Kotono> roll 4d8+13
06[22:13] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 4d8+13 and gets 31." [4d8=3, 8, 5, 2]
[22:14] <Kotono> The blow sends Latha reeling back, tumbling and jiggling as she's slammed hard enough to shatter steel! OOC: Alicia.
[22:15] <Alicia> "Everyone, run back through the corridor of force - I've got a plan!" Alicia yells, setting Amaryl's body down to the side and then flying back the way they came!
[22:15] <Kotono> OOC: Antenora.
[22:16] <Alicia> Antenora is happy to follow Alicia's lead, healing Latha as she flees back after her fellow paladin!
[22:17] <Kotono> OOC: Latha'n'Seira.
[22:17] <Alicia> Latha exercises the better part of valour and withdraws, flying back and easily overtaking Antenora and Alicia with her superior flying speed.
06[22:19] * Seira spends more time than perhaps necessary choosing her course of action, but ends up picking up Amaryl and retreating as well.
[22:19] <Kotono> Thus the party flies back! The golem strikes out at the wall between it and the party!
[22:19] <Kotono> roll 1d20+42 formality
[22:19] <Kotono> roll 1d20+42 formality
06[22:19] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+42 formality and gets 56." [1d20=14]
06[22:19] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+42 formality and gets 61." [1d20=19]
[22:19] <Kotono> roll 8d8+26
06[22:19] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 8d8+26 and gets 59." [8d8=5, 4, 1, 5, 6, 3, 3, 6]
[22:19] <Kotono> The doorway and wall are obliterated, the golem stepping through as it pursues! OOC: Everyone else, are you still running straight back this round?
06[22:20] * Alicia comes to a stop at the centre of the 60 foot long force-passage, but Latha and Antenora flee further, back into the velvet room and out of the potential blast radius.
06[22:20] * Seira follows Latha.
[22:21] <Alicia> OOC: readied action to go with a spellfire blast when the golem comes into the passage after me
[22:21] <Kotono> Thus the party retreats back! The golem follows, plummeting the shadowy doorway as well!
[22:21] <Kotono> roll 1d20+42
[22:21] <Kotono> roll 1d20+42
06[22:21] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+42 and gets 55." [1d20=13]
06[22:21] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+42 and gets 46." [1d20=4]
[22:21] <Kotono> roll 8d8+26
06[22:21] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 8d8+26 and gets 66." [8d8=4, 2, 5, 6, 6, 7, 2, 8]
[22:21] <Kotono> The shadows shatter apart, the golem just barely stepping inside! OOC: Alicia.
06[22:21] * Alicia holds, waiting for the golem to rush her, needing it to be standing fully on the force-floor before she lets loose...
[22:22] <Kotono> OOC: Rest of the party holding?
01[22:22] <Seira> OOC: So it seems
[22:22] <Alicia> Antenora and Latha wait inside the velvet room, seventy feet from Alicia
[22:23] <Kotono> Thus Seira and the rest follow! The golem advances in...OOC: Go ahead and go, Alicia.
[22:24] <Alicia> With the golem suspended over air on nothing but magic, Alicia flaps her wings to hold herself aloft before detonating a massive spherical blast of spellfire to send it plummetting into the darkness below!
[22:24] <Alicia> roll 18d8 DC 22 reflex half
06[22:24] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 18d8 DC 22 reflex half and gets 81." [18d8=6, 2, 6, 5, 5, 5, 1, 1, 5, 7, 7, 5, 1, 6, 8, 4, 6, 1]
[22:24] <Kotono> roll 1d20+12
06[22:24] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+12 and gets 28." [1d20=16]
[22:25] <Kotono> The golem is blasted by spellfire, rippling in it...and them plummeitng down and out of sight, the walls of force shredded and dropping it! OOC: Free act.
[22:25] <Alicia> "Way's clear, lets go," Alicia waves the others forward, flying back towards the chamber the construct guarded.
[22:26] <Kotono> Thus the party files back to the room. The runed door awaits ahead...
[22:26] <Alicia> Any magic?
[22:27] <Alicia> roll 1d20+26 spellcraft
06[22:27] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+26 spellcraft and gets 38." [1d20=12]
[22:27] <Alicia> "There's strong magic on the door, but it should be possible to dispel it," Alicia states as Latha and Antenora catch up.
06[22:28] * Alicia heals Latha as she waits on the dynamic duo doing something about said magic.
[22:28] <Alicia> roll 12d4+12
06[22:28] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 12d4+12 and gets 37." [12d4=1, 4, 3, 1, 2, 1, 2, 3, 3, 2, 2, 1]
[22:28] <Kotono> roll 1d20+10
[22:28] <Kotono> roll 1d20+10
06[22:28] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+10 and gets 23." [1d20=13]
06[22:28] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+10 and gets 25." [1d20=15]
[22:29] <Kotono> "It's not budging," Antenor aannounces, "Also, problem. 100 feet down's naother wraith, and it's coming this way," Antenora says.
06[22:29] * Alicia holds out her hand to Antenora for the club. "Lets deal with that first, then," she states grimly.
[22:30] <Kotono> "Better yet," Antenora passes over the club, "Seira, can you disarm it while we deal with the wraith?"
01[22:31] <Seira> "It might blow up," Seira responds, setting Amaryl's body down and heading towards the door without reservations.
01[22:31] <Seira> roll 1d20+27 search
[22:31] <Kotono> OOC: Roll init then, everyone.
06[22:31] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+27 search and gets 43." [1d20=16]
[22:31] <Alicia> roll 1d20+5 Alicia
06[22:31] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+5 Alicia and gets 12." [1d20=7]

[22:31] <Alicia> roll 1d20+8 Latha
06[22:31] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+8 Latha and gets 16." [1d20=8]
01[22:31] <Seira> roll 1d20+6
06[22:31] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+6 and gets 17." [1d20=11]
[22:32] <Kotono> roll 1d20+15
06[22:32] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+15 and gets 27." [1d20=12]
03[22:32] * Kotono changes topic to 'Wraith(27)>Antenora(24)>Seira(17)>Latha(16)>Alicia(12)'
[22:33] <Kotono> It comes ripping out of the ground, screaming curses in the dreadful words of heresy! It's body is pure black, writhing with utter energies of negation! It's like a wound on your souls to look at, as it claws at Antenora!
[22:33] <Kotono> roll 1d20+18
06[22:33] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+18 and gets 35." [1d20=17]
[22:33] <Kotono> roll 3d6 and fort, Antenora
06[22:33] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 3d6 and fort, Antenora and gets 5." [3d6=1, 1, 3]
[22:33] <Alicia> roll 1d20+30
06[22:33] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+30 and gets 36." [1d20=6]
[22:34] <Kotono> Antenora somehow withstands the agony, even as it's presence seems to rip the life out of you! OOC: 10 negative energy damage to all. Antenora's up now.
[22:35] <Alicia> Antenora retorts with a holy smite, healing Seira with her own divine fury!
[22:35] <Alicia> roll 1d100
06[22:35] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d100 and gets 44." [1d100=44]
[22:35] <Kotono> Even as SEira's wounds heal, the wraith simply ignores the smite altogether! OOC: Seira.
06[22:36] * Seira takes a moment away from the door as she gives the wraith a cold glare, trying to roast it.
01[22:36] <Seira> roll 1d100
06[22:36] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d100 and gets 32." [1d100=32]
01[22:36] <Seira> roll 1d4
06[22:36] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d4 and gets 1." [1d4=1]
[22:36] <Kotono> But the wraith isn't evne bothered by the fire, it's black form utterly absolute and ungiving! OOC: Latha then.
[22:37] <Alicia> Latha unleashes her own smite! One of them has to get lucky, surely.
[22:37] <Alicia> roll 1d100
06[22:37] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d100 and gets 8." [1d100=8]
[22:37] <Alicia> roll 1d20+25 religion
06[22:37] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+25 religion and gets 44." [1d20=19]
[22:39] <Alicia> Latha replies to the heresies the creature spouts with her own tongue, speaking in the primal language of creation as she drowns it out with her heartwarming song!
[22:39] <Kotono> The smite fails to wound it, once again simply like air through air! OOC: Alicia.
06[22:40] * Alicia really can't overstate how much she hates these wretched things, channelling all of her fury into her club as she bashes it again and again and again till it shuts up and stops moving!

06[22:41] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 3#1d100 and gets 88." [3#1d100 = 1, 39, 48]
[22:41] <Kotono> OOC: Irrelevant, it seems.
[22:41] <Kotono> The clubblows fail to even phase the wraith, as it sings it's words of un-life, Latha's words of creation countering each one! It darts to Latha, going for her throat! OOC: AoO is triggered, Alicia, if you wanna take one.
[22:42] <Alicia> roll 1d20+24 damn right
06[22:42] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+24 damn right and gets 43." [1d20=19]

[22:43] <Kotono> roll 1d8 con drain
06[22:43] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d8 con drain and gets 8." [1d8=8]
[22:43] <Kotono> Latha's throat is ripped, her vocal cords nearly pulled out through her mouth! She coughs and continues her song weakly, even as her angelic form turns half ghostly and drained! OOC: Antenora.
[22:44] <Alicia> "Latha!" Antenora cries in alarm, furiously smiting the undead blasphemy as she comes to her friend's aid!
[22:44] <Alicia> roll 1d100
06[22:44] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d100 and gets 38." [1d100=38]
[22:45] <Kotono> But the wraith is unstoppable! It's power is nothing to Latha's holy energy! OOC: seira.
01[22:46] <Seira> "No!" Seira exclaims, as it comes off too much like a repetition of Amaryl's final moments, and fire once more tries to burn the wretched wraith.
01[22:46] <Seira> roll 1d100
06[22:46] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d100 and gets 67." [1d100=67]

06[22:46] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d4 and gets 4." [1d4=4]
[22:46] <Kotono> The fires lick the wraith! IT glows with Latha's life energy, whirling around as it's gaze burns into Seira! OOC: Latha.
[22:48] <Alicia> If the wraith wants Latha dead so much, it's going to have to earn it. Continuing her song with everything she has, the deva protects herself with an orb of whirling blades surrounding her form tightly, forcing the wraith to endure them if it wishes to remain in melee with her!
[22:48] <Alicia> roll 15d6 DC 21 reflex for blade barrier, it'll have to leave melee if it saves though
06[22:48] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 15d6 DC 21 reflex for blade barrier, it'll have to leave melee if it saves though and gets 50." [15d6=6, 5, 3, 4, 2, 6, 6, 1, 2, 3, 2, 2, 6, 1, 1]

[22:48] <Kotono> roll 1d20+16
06[22:48] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+16 and gets 33." [1d20=17]
[22:48] <Kotono> The wraith floats back, it's attention fully on Seira now!
[22:49] <Alicia> With the wraith moving back into range, Alicia continues hammering at it with her club, trying to attain some clarity of focus rather than swinging wildly, counting on her skill to make the blows count!
[22:49] <Alicia> roll 1d20+24
06[22:49] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+24 and gets 26." [1d20=2]

06[22:50] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d6+20+1d8 and gets 28." [1d6=1][1d8=7]
[22:50] <Kotono> The wraith is struck, it's attention turning to Alicia now, hateful glares! It goes for her, ignoring Latha as it reaches for Alicia!
[22:50] <Kotono> roll 1d20+18
06[22:50] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+18 and gets 19." [1d20=1]
[22:50] <Kotono> But Alicia wihrls back, hair shielding her face as she evades out of the way! OOC: Antenora, lucky break.
[22:50] <Alicia> Sensing it's on the ropes (and wishing she had hers) Antenora smites it most mightily!
[22:51] <Alicia> roll 1d100
06[22:51] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d100 and gets 76." [1d100=76]
[22:51] <Alicia> roll 5d8 DC 19

01[22:51] <Seira> "Hit it and fall back!" Seira calls out.
[22:51] <Alicia> OOC: divine succor for Latha, too
[22:51] <Kotono> Antenora's holy energies lick at the phantasm, slightly disrupting it's body! OOC: Seira.
01[22:52] <Seira> "I'm opening the damn door, and that wraith better be the only thing here when I do," Seira warns.
01[22:52] <Seira> OOC: I'll wait on Alicia's init

[22:54] <Alicia> Trusting Seira knows what she's doing, Alicia tumbles away from the wraith and to the side of the room, before blasting it with a fusillade of glowing blue bolts of force!
[22:55] <Alicia> roll 5d4+5
06[22:55] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 5d4+5 and gets 17." [5d4=3, 2, 2, 2, 3]

06[22:55] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+15 and gets 19." [1d20=4]
[22:56] <Kotono> Smites and missiles pepper the wraith, weakening it further but yet barely slowing it down as Alicia falls back! OOC: Wraith.
[22:56] <Kotono> The wraith howls, going right for Alicia and following!

06[22:57] * Seira slams her claw into the rune-covered door, forcing it open.
01[22:58] <Seira> OOC: I'll just fail the DD check intentionally and blow up with it.

06[22:59] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d100 dur for Wraith and gets 2." [1d100=2]
[23:00] <Kotono> Seira avoids the flames, rolling amid them even as the detonate, moving about in an instant! The wraith's body just flickers, the fires missing it entirely! OOC: Wraith goes and hits Alicia as it did. Antenora.
[23:00] <Alicia> Still focusing her healing efforts on Latha, Antenora smites the wraith some more!
[23:00] <Alicia> roll 1d100
06[23:00] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d100 and gets 26." [1d100=26]
[23:03] <Alicia> Latha tries to smite it where Antenora failed!
[23:03] <Alicia> roll 1d100
06[23:03] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d100 and gets 13." [1d100=13]
[23:04] <Kotono> But both smites fizzle through the phantasm, failing to injure it! OOC: Alicia.
[23:06] <Alicia> Hit it enough and something's bound to stick! Or so Alicia hopes as she whips her fencpost through the wraith's grasping arms before pounding at its shadowy body and head!

[23:09] <Kotono> A ray of fire spears through the phantasm, making it whirl towards Seira! With a moan of the Dark Speech, it darts at her! OOC: Alicia, you can AoO it.
[23:09] <Alicia> roll 1d20+27 with great gusto
06[23:09] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+27 with great gusto and gets 30." [1d20=3]

06[23:09] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d100 and gets 30." [1d100=30]

[23:10] <Kotono> Seira takes it hard, rocking back, but she endures it with only gritted teeth! OOC: Antenora/Latha/Alicia.

[23:12] <Kotono> OOC: Er, Seri.
[23:12] <Kotono> OOC: Seira.

[23:15] <Alicia> OOC: divine succor on SEira
[23:15] <Kotono> Antenora sags heavily, nearly falling to a knee. "Mystra...we have to be closer. If we have to face a few more of those....we'll see Mystra far too soon."
01[23:16] <Seira> "Door is open," Seira announces simply.
[23:16] <Alicia> "Lets hope it was worth it," Alicia sighs wearily, going to investigate what they fought so hard for.
[23:17] <Kotono> Ahead, you see a large room full of chests, drawers, shelfs and jars. Richesand treasures are all about! On one table near the door, the party's gear lies about, scattered! Lagann sits in a transparent box of crystal, thrashing about in it!
[23:17] <Kotono> Once her wall is gone, Latha apparoaches, "Get your bag, Alicia," she says, even as she goes for her mace and clothes, immediately beginning to rearm herself.
06[23:17] * Seira gently picks the discarded Amaryl, and follows into the room.
06[23:18] * Alicia cheerfully discards her club, locating the portable hole first of all and opening it up to root around for the scroll of resurrection.
[23:18] <Kotono> This is found without incident.
[23:19] <Alicia> "You can use this, Seira?" Alicia asks, handing it over to her hopefully. "To bring Amaryl back?"
06[23:19] * Seira dresses quickly and efficiently while the others do, before approaching Lagann's prison and examining it.
[23:19] <Kotono> It's a crystal box with a heavy crystal lid.
06[23:19] * Seira pauses at Alicia's words. "You were serious, then?" she asks, looking back at the paladin. "You really think she'll return?"
[23:20] <Alicia> "I doubt neither Mystra's magic nor Amaryl's devotion to you," Alicia replies seriously.
[23:20] <Kotono> "She loves you," Latha says, half dressed and topless as she goes to Seira. "I have no doubt she'll return to you."
06[23:20] * Seira returns her attention to the crystal box.
01[23:20] <Seira> roll 1d20+30 search
06[23:20] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+30 search and gets 49." [1d20=19]
[23:21] <Alicia> "Er..." Seeing Seira's disinterest, Alicia isn't quite sure what to make of it. "If you don't think you can cast it yourself, I can have Shankar do it when we return to Balmuria?"
06[23:21] * Seira backhands the box, smashing through the crystal and freeing her familiar. "Then I sure as hell'll give it a try!"
[23:21] <Kotono> The crystal shatters, leaving Lagann free!
06[23:21] * Seira reaches for Alicia's scroll.
06[23:23] * Alicia is far too fascinated by this sort of magic to waste time on such mundane things as recovering her armament or gettint dressed, so watches intently...
[23:23] <Kotono> "Be blessed in your magic," Latha says, ever so gently. "Once Amaryl returns, we will bring terrible, glorious judgment to the darkness that rests within."
01[23:23] <Seira> It never worked for her before, and whenever she complained, yelled, cried or plead, nothing was given but the stock replies. But maybe this time--
[23:23] <Kotono> OOC: Casting?
[23:23] <Kotono> OOC: What's your wisdom?
01[23:24] <Seira> roll 1d20+30 emulate wisdom score
06[23:24] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+30 emulate wisdom score and gets 34." [1d20=4]
[23:24] <Kotono> OOC: Good enough. Make the roll for the scroll.
01[23:24] <Seira> roll 1d20+30 RESURRECTION!
06[23:24] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+30 RESURRECTION! and gets 49." [1d20=19]
[23:25] <Kotono> Seira chants! Each word turns the room brighter, glowing from the scroll! Each verse is beautiful, pushing back the gloom of Silence! As Seira chants, a terrible feeling passes over you, a watching that chills eacho f youto your very souls...but the words Seira speaks pushes it back, repelling it! The ground quivers as circles of great magic form of their own accord around Seira and Amaryl's body! (More)
[23:26] <Kotono>  and Amaryl's body! (More)
[23:27] <Kotono> The presence is darkness. The presence is death. The presence is the end. It screams wordless fury, yet each perfectly pronounced word Seira chants counters it! A cone of golden light appears over Amaryl's body! There is a note of perfect music, Silence shaking hard enough to shatter a mountain..."Ugh..." Amaryl coughs, "Seira...Seira...where are you? Seira...!"
06[23:28] * Alicia smiles at the heartwarming scene, turning away to give the pair some sort of privacy as she starts recovering her belongings and getting dressed.
01[23:29] <Seira> "Amaryl!" Seira exclaims, tackling the elf.
[23:30] <Kotono> Amaryl's arms wrap around Seira! "Oh Seira...I missed you!" She holds the half dragon close to her, "Listen to me. Waukeen's power cannot reach this place through normal means. The Gods have no sway here, but...she was able to send a gift back with me."
[23:30] <Kotono> Antenora smiles, mimicking Alicia. Latha watches for a few moments, eyes warm as she finishes dressing.
01[23:37] <Seira> "I gave up for a while," Seira admits, biting on her lower lip. "I should've just trusted in Waukeen more, but it was just so hard... I was afraid all along, and then the worst happened...." Rather than continue, she buries her face in Amaryl's hair. "I'm happy that you came back."
[23:38] <Kotono> "Waukeen says she understands and..." Amaryl leans in, kissing Seira. As she does, white light engulfs the party! The light soaks into you, washing away your pains and exhaustion like water removes dirt! OOC: Your spells are restored, as are SLA and daily item uses. Your HP is restored, ability drain is reversed and all negative status is negated.
[23:39] <Kotono> OOC: This applies to the entire party.
[23:40] <Kotono> Amid the light, Latha laughs. "Come then...we have righteous fury to dispense."
[23:40] <Kotono> Antenora chuckles, "A shame Marie's not here..." She murmurs a little too loudly.
[23:41] <Kotono> At this...far away, from the door you came, as you stand amid your gear and all the riches otherwise...crying. The crying of babies can be heard, a mournful, eternal sound. Babies are crying in pain, crying for warmth, crying for Mother...
[23:41] <Kotono> ---

[Corwin]

[20:04] <Kotono> <Seira> "I gave up for a while," Seira admits, biting on her lower lip. "I should've just trusted in Waukeen more, but it was just so hard... I was afraid all along, and then the worst happened...." Rather than continue, she buries her face in Amaryl's hair. "I'm happy that you came back."

06[20:07] * Alicia is quite glad her familiar isn't here, since she'd almost certainly have been killed long before now given the sort of creatures they're facing. She doesn't say this, however, pausing in the act of pulling up her leggings at the current interruption.
[20:07] <Alicia> "I read a story once," she comments, "About a little boy who was turned into a vampire. Even though he lived for hundreds of years, he forever retained a child's perceptions and mindset. I wonder if the Neverborn is the same way?"
[20:08] <Kotono> "A sad, lonely child?" Antenora has her spear in hand, dressed. "It may be, but..." Antenora abruptly peers ahead, "Problem, three minds, 100 feet away. Two of them are likely wraiths, but the last one is smarter than that by a fair margin. Smarter than any of us but Seira."
[20:09] <Kotono> Amaryl leans into Seira, only looking away as Antenora speaks, "Again...Seira, let me get dressed?"
01[20:09] <Seira> "Be sure to tell the ancient lich that," Seira tells Antenora, letting go of Amaryl.
06[20:10] * Alicia quickly yanks up her leggings and grabs Hell Striker, having to forget about getting the rest of her equipment. Her sword is the most important thing right now for defending herself.
06[20:11] * Seira works together with Lagann to imbue a set of arrows to be extra fiery and extra piercing to give Amaryl a much better chance at defending herself.
[20:11] <Kotono> OOC: Go ahead and roll init then, since bad things are coming.
01[20:12] <Seira> roll 1d20+6

06[20:13] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+8 Latha and gets 18." [1d20=10]

[20:14] <Kotono> Racing into the treasure room is one of wraiths! Like the previous is roils with black power, but it sings not the words of the Dark Speech! Instead it goes right for Alicia's heart!
[20:14] <Kotono> roll 1d20+16
06[20:14] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+16 and gets 25." [1d20=9]
[20:14] <Kotono> OOC: Touch AC?
[20:15] <Alicia> OOC: 21
[20:15] <Kotono> roll 2d6 and fort, you know the drill by now.
06[20:15] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 2d6 and fort, you know the drill by now. and gets 10." [2d6=6, 4]
[20:16] <Alicia> OOC: Can you take into account the -1 to attack/damage/saves from consecrated presence? A few hits yesterday would've missed/dinged off DR and a few saves would've failed if it was remembered, I think
[20:16] <Alicia> roll 1d20+30
06[20:16] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+30 and gets 36." [1d20=6]
[20:16] <Kotono> OOC: I didn't, I keep forgetting. Remind me when I roll, thanks.
[20:16] <Kotono> Alicia is touched, the graze weakening her flesh, but only momentarily! The wraith menances, as it's pure darkness seems to drive the life out of all of you! OOC: 1 damage except to Seira, who immunes.
[20:17] <Kotono> OOC: Alicia.
[20:18] <Alicia> Now properly armed, Alicia has no hesitation in slashing out at this new wraith, burning its ragged shadowy form with holy flames as her shining blade rips through it again and again!
[20:18] <Alicia> roll 1d20+16 knowledge
06[20:18] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+16 knowledge and gets 34." [1d20=18]
[20:18] <Alicia> roll 1d20+30 -2pa divine might

[20:18] <Alicia> roll 1d100
06[20:18] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d100 and gets 71." [1d100=71]
[20:19] <Alicia> roll 2d4+30+2d6+1d6+1d8
06[20:19] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 2d4+30+2d6+1d6+1d8 and gets 49." [2d4=2, 4][2d6=6, 3][1d6=1][1d8=3]
[20:20] <Kotono> Ailcia duels with it, Hell-Stirker glowing red hot and white as it slashes into the abomination of undeath before her! It rocks back with the blow, but it's fury refuses to die! OOC: Latha, go. Whatever ???? is, it's not doing anything you can see.
[20:21] <Alicia> Latha follows Alicia's lead, joining her in confronting the wraith with her gleaming holy mace!
[20:21] <Alicia> roll 1d20+25 -2pa
06[20:21] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+25 -2pa and gets 33." [1d20=8]
[20:21] <Alicia> roll 1d20+20 -2pa
06[20:21] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+20 -2pa and gets 37." [1d20=17]

06[20:21] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+15 -2pa and gets 31." [1d20=16]

06[20:21] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 3#1d100 and gets 66." [3#1d100 = 3, 5, 58]
[20:21] <Alicia> roll 1d8+16+2d6
06[20:21] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d8+16+2d6 and gets 26." [1d8=3][2d6=1, 6]
[20:22] <Kotono> Braining the ghostly being, Latha confronts it with her own light! The blows mostly pass through, but one slams satisfyingly into it's chest! OOC: Wraith 1 is up.
03[20:22] * Kotono changes topic to 'Wraith 2(33)>Alicia(27)>Latha(18)>Wraith 1=????(16)>Seira(15)>Antenora(12)>Amaryl(7)>Lagann(4)'
[20:23] <Kotono> Another black wraith advances into the room! Just behind it, floating behind it's ghostly head...it's a tiny mote of black. In it you can see a baby's arms, legs, body...and crying. So much crying! From it, a cone of pure deathly cold erupts out!
[20:23] <Kotono> roll 1d20+20 SR
06[20:23] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+20 SR and gets 30." [1d20=10]
[20:23] <Kotono> roll 15d6+2d6 ref half for Amaryl/Seira
06[20:23] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 15d6+2d6 ref half for Amaryl/Seira and gets 55." [15d6=3, 1, 4, 3, 3, 2, 6, 2, 2, 3, 5, 1, 6, 5, 1][2d6=6, 2]
[20:24] <Kotono> roll 15d6 mortalbane, so the angels halve this automatically
06[20:24] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 15d6 mortalbane, so the angels halve this automatically and gets 58." [15d6=6, 3, 4, 5, 5, 4, 3, 3, 5, 1, 2, 2, 6, 3, 6]
01[20:24] <Seira> roll 1d20+20 A
06[20:24] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+20 A and gets 25." [1d20=5]
01[20:24] <Seira> roll 1d20+30
06[20:24] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+30 and gets 31." [1d20=1]
[20:25] <Kotono> The terrible cold is all pervading, as after a black beam of freezing ice jets out from the being, aiming right for Antenora!
[20:25] <Kotono> roll 1d20+15 ranged touch Antenora
06[20:25] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+15 ranged touch Antenora and gets 25." [1d20=10]
[20:25] <Kotono> OOC: Touch AC Anty?
[20:25] <Alicia> OOC: 25, sadly
[20:26] <Alicia> OOC: 23, actually
[20:26] <Kotono> roll 20d6*1.5 half ice and half untyped
06[20:26] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 20d6*1.5 half ice and half untyped  and gets 99." [20d6=3, 4, 4, 3, 2, 2, 5, 2, 4, 2, 2, 1, 6, 3, 5, 3, 5, 2, 4, 4]
[20:26] <Alicia> OOC: Any SR?
[20:26] <Kotono> roll 1d20+20 dur
06[20:26] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+20 dur and gets 34." [1d20=14]
[20:27] <Kotono> The beam freezes into Antenora, turning her body a black streaked frostburned all over! The first wraith stands on guard in the meantime! OOC: Seira.
06[20:30] * Seira snaps a sharp arcane command, and with a quick prayer to Waukeen advances towards the wraith at the doorway, the Sun Blade trailing her in all its glory. Once there, Seira commands it to strike at the unclean thing with all its might, before she and the holy sword retreat into a flanking position with Alicia on the other side of the wraith menacing her.
01[20:31] <Seira> roll 1d20+32 dancing blade!
06[20:31] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+32 dancing blade! and gets 35." [1d20=3]
01[20:32] <Seira> roll 1d10+15
06[20:32] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d10+15 and gets 24." [1d10=9]
[20:33] <Kotono> The golden blade glows as it cuts into the guardian wraith, making it's form shimmer with Lathander's light! It's black body roils, like boiling oil! OOC: Antenora.
[20:33] <Alicia> roll 1d20+25 lets ask auntie Latha wtf this new arrival is?
06[20:33] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+25 lets ask auntie Latha wtf this new arrival is? and gets 30." [1d20=5]
[20:35] <Alicia> Antenora follows up after Seira by unravelling the rope coiled at her hip. "I've been waiting all day for this," she remarks with a feral grin, tossing it lightly towards the undead, before the innocuous seeming rope lashes out like a snake of its own volition, coiling tightly around the shadowy figure and binding it to the physical world!
[20:35] <Alicia> roll 1d20+21 ranged touch
06[20:35] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+21 ranged touch and gets 31." [1d20=10]
[20:36] <Kotono> The rope coils around the wraith, binding it as it's body appears as soild as a mountain, no longer flickering in and out of visibility! OC: Amaryl.
01[20:36] <Seira> At a mental prompting, with only her bow and arrows in hand, Amaryl waits just a moment for Lagann to imbue her with the Greater Heroism spell, before picking up her belt in what would seem comical if it weren't key to her survival and hastily putting it on. Immediately afterwards, she snaps off two arrows towards the wraith caught by Antenora, which swiftly become four!
01[20:37] <Seira> roll 4#1d20+18
06[20:37] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 4#1d20+18 and gets 112." [4#1d20+18 = 19, 36, 29, 28]
[20:37] <Kotono> OOC: Three hits. Shame about the 19.
01[20:38] <Seira> roll 3#1d8+3+2+1d6+1d6
06[20:38] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 3#1d8+3+2+1d6+1d6 and gets 42." [3#1d8+3+2+1d6+1d6 = 14, 11, 17]
[20:39] <Kotono> The arrows find an easy target this time, embedding into the bound, soild phantom! Struggling against the rope, it reaches out for Alicia again!
[20:39] <Kotono> roll 1d20+13 (-2 entangle, -1 aura)
06[20:39] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+13 (-2 entangle, -1 aura) and gets 22." [1d20=9]
[20:40] <Kotono> OOC: Touch aC?
[20:40] <Kotono> roll 2d6 and fort save if that hit.
06[20:40] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 2d6 and fort save if that hit. and gets 9." [2d6=5, 4]
[20:40] <Alicia> OOC: divine succor on Amaryl, btw. My touch AC is 21, and this wraith isn't entangled - it's the one at the door
[20:41] <Kotono> OOC: Oh, moment then. Lemme strike that line, it'll still hit you so go ahead and make your save.
[20:41] <Alicia> roll 1d20+30
06[20:41] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+30 and gets 38." [1d20=8]
[20:41] <Kotono> The wraith grabs Alicia as it slips intothe ground, tearing away a tiny fragment of her vitality as solid floor shields better than an army of shields! OOC: Alicia.
[20:42] <Alicia> OOC: AoO?
[20:42] <Kotono> OOC: It has spring attack and the like, so no for you. Seira's flanking it with you so she'd get one though.
[20:42] <Alicia> OOC: You must move at least 5 feet both before and after you make your attack in order to utilize the benefits of Spring Attack.
[20:43] <Alicia> OOC: Also Latha's in melee with it as well
06[20:43] * Seira currently lacks a convenient weapon, but tries to wrack her claw across the wraith's back as it flees all the same!
[20:43] <Kotono> OOC: Then it moves 5 to the side as it spring attacks you and still triggers those two AoOs.
[20:43] <Alicia> roll 1d20+25 -2pa for Latha
06[20:43] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+25 -2pa for Latha and gets 29." [1d20=4]
[20:43] <Alicia> roll 1d100
01[20:43] <Seira> roll 1d20+20
06[20:43] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d100 and gets 29." [1d100=29]
06[20:43] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+20 and gets 26." [1d20=6]
01[20:43] <Seira> roll 1d100
06[20:43] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d100 and gets 4." [1d100=4]
[20:44] <Kotono> But both attacks pass throughthe phantom as it escapes away safely! OOCAlicia now for real.
06[20:44] * Alicia hesitates, now knowing the thread posed by the squalling infant floating in a blot of umbral darkness, holding Hell Striker ready and preparing to attack when it next casts at them.
[20:45] <Kotono> OOC: Okay. Latha.
[20:45] <Alicia> Latha on the other hand has few qualms about blasting both wraith as well as Talos and Malcanthet's grandchild with a holy smite!
[20:45] <Alicia> roll 5d8 DC 19
06[20:45] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 5d8 DC 19 and gets 29." [5d8=5, 3, 7, 6, 8]
[20:46] <Kotono> OOC: CL check.
[20:46] <Alicia> roll 1d20+16
06[20:46] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+16 and gets 25." [1d20=9]
[20:46] <Kotono> roll 1d20+14
06[20:46] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+14 and gets 17." [1d20=3]
[20:46] <Kotono> roll 1d20+27 (+10 ???)
06[20:46] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+27 (+10 ???) and gets 35." [1d20=8]
[20:48] <Kotono> The holy power bursts...but it seems to be lackluster and impotent against the black child! It barely even touches it, the light healing away in a mere instant after! The bound wraith struggles in the bonds, while the child's eyes glow...OOC: Alicia, were youg iong to act when it acts?
[20:49] <Alicia> In an instant Alicia whips her arm forward, unleashing her blade in a spinning crescent that scythes through the wraith and then the floating baby before returning back to her hand!

[20:51] <Kotono> Hell-Striker smoothly rips through both of them, greatly devastating in it's wake! But even as the wraith is nearly bisected and the black orb of a child flickers, twin black beams come from it's eyes, one at Seira and one at Antenora! OOC: Not rolling the Seira one, it's irrelevant due to her stopping energy drain.

[20:52] <Kotono> The twin beams fly out! Seira's woven armor glows as the beam flows around her, while Antenora's body crackles with unlife, weakening all over! OOC: Seira.
01[20:54] <Seira> As her target fled into the ground cowardly, Seira breathes holy flames at the abominations by the doorway, coming on her breath's wake and directing the Sun Blade to take another stab before withdrawing to stand protectively by Amaryl's side.

[20:55] <Kotono> Amid gold fires, the first wraith burns away, Antenora's rope falling ot the ground! The little black baby-orb is stabbed, but withstands the fury with a startling ease! OOC: Antenora.
[20:55] <Alicia> Antenora tries to stand tall even against the unpleasant effects of negative energy draining her, waiting for the reappearance of the other wraith so she can bind it with her rope...
[20:56] <Kotono> OOC: Amaryl. To be clear, Antenora's going for her rope and then holding?
01[20:57] <Seira> Amaryl independantly arrives at the same idea as Antenora, intending to put as many arrows into the wraith as she is able to once it resurfaces.

[21:31] <Kotono> "If the lich wishes to be found, he's probably on the level we left behind," Latha says, as she slides her bracers into place, "The fact that it took raw destruction to reach here makes me wonder if he meant us not to ever find our gear before facing him, naked and vulnerable."
06[21:31] * Seira bestows Heroism upon Amaryl as well, as the one Lagann had is soon to disappear, giving her a chance to cast Stoneskin upon herself while she's at it, just in case.
[21:32] <Alicia> "Or we just missed the stairs, but the logic is sound," Alicia nods to Latha, regarding Hell Striker for a moment. "What happened after we were seperated?" she asks the sword, wondering if it has any useful insight.
06[21:34] * Seira finds this a great idea, shamelessly stealing it.
06[21:34] * Alicia nods. "Sounds like our host did appear here long enough to box up Seira's familiar, but it said nothing," she informs the others. "Lets head back to the lower level, then?"
01[21:35] <Seira> "If he expects us downstairs, why not trash this level first, then?"
[21:36] <Alicia> "One way or another we're going to have to clean this place top to bottom, but I'd prefer to kill the lich first to ensure we can do so with as few interruptions as possible," Alicia reasons.
01[21:37] <Seira> "I was thinking in terms of allies it might call to his side, and eroding those before making our way to face him," Seira elaborates.
[21:37] <Alicia> "Besides, better to face him at full strength than once we've been weakened by his minions."
01[21:37] <Seira> "I'm easily convinced. Let's go?"
[21:38] <Kotono> Thus the party returns to the gaping hole leading to above and below. Antenora is on guard the entire time, shaking her head, "No reinforcements that I can sense, but I didn't sense that stone creature, so if there's more unliving beings?" With a shrug, "Who takes point?"
06[21:38] * Alicia nods. "Lets - if he summons wraiths we can easily see them off with the power of the sun, after all," she smiles confidently, pausing long enough to cast greater magic weapon on Antenora's spear before she leads the way back down the tunnel.
06[21:38] * Seira follows closely, trusting in her senses and Lagann's to warn them if need be.
06[21:39] * Alicia heals Seira some as they go.
[21:39] <Alicia> roll 10d4+10
06[21:39] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 10d4+10 and gets 31." [10d4=1, 2, 2, 1, 2, 3, 3, 3, 2, 2]
[21:39] <Alicia> Latha also casts Aid on everyone.
[21:40] <Alicia> roll 1d8+10 Seira
06[21:40] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d8+10 Seira and gets 17." [1d8=7]
[21:40] <Alicia> roll 1d8+10 Alicia
06[21:40] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d8+10 Alicia and gets 13." [1d8=3]
[21:40] <Alicia> roll 1d8+10 Latha
06[21:40] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d8+10 Latha and gets 14." [1d8=4]
[21:40] <Alicia> roll 1d8+10 Antenora
06[21:40] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d8+10 Antenora and gets 13." [1d8=3]
[21:40] <Alicia> roll 1d8+10 Amaryl
06[21:40] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d8+10 Amaryl and gets 18." [1d8=8]
[21:40] <Kotono> Thus the party descends down into the hole. The air down here is smoky, the bodies having burned. Farther ahead, much farther ahead, you can see fires continue to burn, more bodies roasting.
[21:41] <Alicia> "Lets go in the other direction?" Alicia points to the opposite passage that remains unexplored. It's better than walking through a field of burning bodies.
06[21:41] * Seira is only too eager to put distance between that thrice-accursed place and them.
[21:46] <Kotono> Thus you return to the hallway of imprison ment, passing by the door of your captivity. You find a few more doors like the one you were sealed in, then a bleak, dark door. It is carved like a black maw, bands of iron filled with glowing green stone in between them.
[21:47] <Alicia> roll 1d20+26 glowing stone surely means magic?
06[21:47] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+26 glowing stone surely means magic? and gets 40." [1d20=14]
01[21:48] <Seira> roll 1d20+30 and surely means search?
06[21:48] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+30 and surely means search? and gets 46." [1d20=16]
01[21:49] <Seira> "It's very trapped," Seira mutters. "How about just trying to wear it down with anti-magic?"
[21:51] <Alicia> "Antimagic won't work, this is beyond the ninth circle," Alicia shakes her head. "Also it'll trigger defences when dispelled. Lets try going around it instead?"
01[21:52] <Seira> "I would wonder if he hadn't thought of that, but we did skip the staircase earlier," Seira agrees. "Sure. If that doesn't work, I'll give the door a try."
06[21:53] * Alicia moves back twenty feet from the door and then proceeds to fire a blast of spellfire at a forty five degree angle towards it, tunnelling through the wall on the right-hand side!
[21:53] <Alicia> roll 10d8 DC 27 should it matter
06[21:53] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 10d8 DC 27 should it matter and gets 36." [10d8=6, 1, 2, 5, 2, 2, 3, 3, 7, 5]
06[21:53] * Seira steps even farther back, ready to react if this brings down guardians upon them.
[21:53] <Kotono> OOC: Basically bypassing the door?
[21:53] <Alicia> OOC: yes
[21:56] <Kotono> Alicia carves a tunnel out! Beyond the door, you can see a pitch blackness, save for a single path. It is held up by infinite skeletal hands, each palm providing a 10 feet wide path in the darkness. Utter cold blows out of the hole, twisted, ghost-white faces erupting out and howling! OOC: Make will saves all.
01[21:56] <Seira> roll 1d20+15 A
06[21:56] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+15 A and gets 31." [1d20=16]
[21:56] <Alicia> roll 1d20+31 Alicia
06[21:56] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+31 Alicia and gets 49." [1d20=18]
01[21:57] <Seira> roll 1d20+23
[21:57] <Alicia> roll 1d20+32 Anty
06[21:57] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+32 Anty and gets 42." [1d20=10]
06[21:57] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+23 and gets 37." [1d20=14]
[21:57] <Alicia> roll 1d20+22 Latha
06[21:57] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+22 Latha and gets 28." [1d20=6]
[21:57] <Kotono> OOC: Make a fort save Latha, +10 bonus.
[21:57] <Alicia> roll 1d20+34
06[21:57] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+34 and gets 41." [1d20=7]
[21:58] <Kotono> The howling surrounds all of you, trying to worm into your bodies! It's a battle of the soul taking place over a moment, each of you true...save for Latha! One burrows into her head, Latha screaming! Her body glows white, the spirit dissipating as it flies out of her mouth! OOC: Go ahead and act.
[21:59] <Alicia> OOC: are we still being assailed by the ghostfaces or is it over?
[21:59] <Kotono> OOC: It's over.
06[21:59] * Seira scowls, before throwing Latha a worried look.
[21:59] <Alicia> "Latha! Are you alright?" Alicia turns to the deva in concern.
[22:00] <Kotono> Latha falls to her knees, babbling in Elven, "ChildrunchildrunnoAbrosorunchildrunchildrun!" She splurts out, before shaking her head, holding it in both hands. "I...I am...I am alright." With a shaking gaze as she does, "The spirit tried to take my physical form. It's memories overwhelmed me."
06[22:02] * Seira shudders, kneeling next to the deva and putting her arm around her shoulders comfortingly.
06[22:02] * Alicia remains besides Latha for a moment, putting an arm around her and rubbing her shoulders. "Take a moment, we seem to be safe for now," she reassures.
[22:02] <Kotono> Latha uses the two to help rise, "No, I will not rest. That woman was a victim of the evil here. To rest after seeing her torment would be an insult to her pain. We advance."
[22:03] <Alicia> "Alright," Alicia nods, respecting that commitment and starting through the tunnel she just dug.
06[22:04] * Seira silently imbues Amaryl with the Blur spell, nodding at the elf as she places her hand on her shoulder and resolving to keep to the back for the time being.
[22:07] <Kotono> Thus you walk onto the path. Each step is dry, as if the bones beneath you are about to crumble. In the darkness around you, ghostly faces soar. Faces of humans, elves, dwarves and so many other things that you don't know, too twisted or too alien to identify. Each one weeps tears of ghostly mist, lamenting in silence. Yet the lamentation begins to form something, silence transforming into words. In Abyssal, "Praise to the Eternal, glory be to
[22:07] <Kotono> silence transforming into words. In Abyssal, "Praise to the Eternal, glory be to He who sits in Bleak Rendor! Accursed of neverlife, the once and future king!"
06[22:08] * Alicia grimaces at the souls being forced to honour the one responsible for their suffering. "Is there any way we can release them?" she asks quietly, wings tense and ready to take flight at any moment.
[22:08] <Kotono> OOC: Make an K:R check, Alicia or anyone else who cares to answer that.
01[22:08] <Seira> roll 1d20+15 I care
06[22:08] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+15 I care and gets 18." [1d20=3]
[22:09] <Kotono> "Be silent." Antenora continues to peer ahead, "Soon you will sing a far more blessed song."
[22:09] <Alicia> roll 1d20+25 Latha's the expert
06[22:09] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+25 Latha's the expert and gets 28." [1d20=3]
[22:09] <Alicia> roll 1d20+16 but I'll roll too
06[22:09] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+16 but I'll roll too and gets 20." [1d20=4]
[22:10] <Kotono> "We may be able to, but this is on such a level that a simple dispel magic will do nothing. It will take something profound to free them." Latha advances onward, "As for what exactly, I do not know, but it iwll be a matter I attend to once our host is brough to justice."
06[22:11] * Alicia nods, trying to tune out the horrid dirge as they continue.
01[22:11] <Seira> "Whatever help you need in that, you'll get it," Seira promises.
[22:13] <Kotono> "Thank you." Latha smiles to her, as the party advances ahead. As you do, a single indistinct white face gusts in, appearing 20 feet before the party! It screams and twists, forming into a transparent body. "Good day..." Alice murmurs in a whisper, hooded face devoid of flesh even in this, empty save for glowing points of darklight, "Welcome to oblivion. I'll be happy to help you find what you're looking for...eternal penance and torment." Aro
[22:13] <Kotono> I'll be happy to help you find what you're looking for...eternal penance and torment." Around her, white faces and souls swirl, screaming the dirge so loud as to nearly deafen you.
01[22:14] <Seira> "It's a trick!" Seira exclaims. "Elle made sure Alice was put to rest!"
[22:15] <Alicia> roll 1d20+16 religion, shouldn't killing wraith-alice have sent her properly on her way?
06[22:15] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+16 religion, shouldn't killing wraith-alice have sent her properly on her way? and gets 25." [1d20=9]
[22:15] <Kotono> "There is no escape from this fate. My fate was sealed when my mortal body died. But fear not, for I was freed. Let me have you join me." The spirits around her howl, "Prepare."
[22:15] <Kotono> OOC: Roll init? She's not standinghere and chatting old times.
[22:15] <Alicia> roll 1d20+7 Alicia
06[22:15] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+7 Alicia and gets 8." [1d20=1]
[22:15] <Alicia> roll 1d20+5 Anty
06[22:16] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+5 Anty and gets 15." [1d20=10]
[22:16] <Alicia> roll 1d20+8 Latha
06[22:16] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+8 Latha and gets 10." [1d20=2]
01[22:16] <Seira> roll 1d20+6 LIES
06[22:16] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+6 LIES and gets 25." [1d20=19]
01[22:16] <Seira> roll 1d20+8 A
06[22:16] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+8 A and gets 11." [1d20=3]
01[22:16] <Seira> roll 1d20+8 L
06[22:16] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+8 L and gets 26." [1d20=18]
[22:16] <Kotono> roll 1d20+13
06[22:16] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+13 and gets 15." [1d20=2]
01[22:16] <Seira> OOC: Minus the +8, so Lagann is on 18
03[22:17] * Kotono changes topic to 'Seira(25)>Lagann(18)>Alice=Antenora(15)>Amaryl(11)>Latha(10)>Alicia(8)'
[22:17] <Kotono> OOC: Go Seira.
01[22:17] <Seira> roll 1d20+15 is there basis for my disbelief?
06[22:17] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+15 is there basis for my disbelief? and gets 27." [1d20=12]
[22:17] <Kotono> OOC: What check are yourolling exactly?
06[22:19] * Seira grimaces. "If this is for real, then I'm sorry I wasn't there to save you, Alice, and I'm sorry I didn't have a chance to get along with you. Whether before, with Elle, or now... you'll have your rest!"
06[22:19] * Seira breathes fire upon the wraith.
01[22:19] <Seira> roll 8d8+2d8
06[22:19] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 8d8+2d8 and gets 55." [8d8=4, 5, 8, 6, 4, 5, 7, 8][2d8=4, 4]
01[22:19] <Seira> roll 1d100
06[22:19] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d100 and gets 62." [1d100=62]
01[22:20] <Seira> roll 1d4 dc is 18
06[22:20] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d4 dc is 18 and gets 2." [1d4=2]
[22:20] <Kotono> roll 1d20+14
06[22:20] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+14 and gets 20." [1d20=6]
[22:20] <Kotono> Alice's body is turned aflame, dodging some of it as souls appear to form a barrier around her! But some still gets through! "We'll have forever to get along. If you listen, you can hear His hunger."
[22:20] <Kotono> OC: Lagann.
01[22:21] <Seira> Lagann borrows Amaryl's Sun Blade, going straight for the kill.
01[22:21] <Seira> roll 1d20+22
06[22:21] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+22 and gets 35." [1d20=13]
[22:21] <Kotono> OOC: Hit.
01[22:21] <Seira> roll 1d10+4
06[22:21] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d10+4 and gets 13." [1d10=9]
[22:22] <Kotono> The sunblade slices through Alice, making her form flicker! But she raises a hand to the sky, "Become one of us!" She calls, as white faces scream and hurtle at the party! OOC: Will saves, all.
01[22:22] <Seira> roll 1d20+15 A
06[22:22] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+15 A and gets 16." [1d20=1]
01[22:23] <Seira> roll 1d20+23
06[22:23] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+23 and gets 25." [1d20=2]
[22:23] <Alicia> roll 1d20+31 Alicia
06[22:23] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+31 Alicia and gets 33." [1d20=2]
[22:23] <Alicia> roll 1d20+32 Anty
06[22:23] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+32 Anty and gets 37." [1d20=5]
[22:23] <Alicia> roll 1d20+22 Latha
06[22:23] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+22 Latha and gets 34." [1d20=12]
[22:23] <Kotono> OOC: Seira and Amarly need to make fort saves in one of the worst rolling sessions I've seen lately. Ow.
01[22:23] <Seira> roll 1d20+22 A
06[22:23] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+22 A and gets 42." [1d20=20]
01[22:23] <Seira> roll 1d20+23
06[22:23] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+23 and gets 41." [1d20=18]
[22:24] <Kotono> OOC: Both of you two take two points of con drain but nothing more.
[22:24] <Kotono> Spirits erupt out around you! This time, all but Seira and Amaryl are able to resist! The two are overwhelmed, meaningless regrets and knowledge unknow flooding them as they are nearly taken over! OOC: Antenora.
[22:27] <Alicia> Warding off the spirits assailing her, Antenora lets her rope do the talking as it snakes outwards to curl around Alice's form, binding her to the physical realm!
[22:27] <Alicia> roll 1d20+21 ranged touch
06[22:27] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+21 ranged touch and gets 33." [1d20=12]
[22:27] <Kotono> The rope wraps around Alice, her body becoming soild and corpreal! OOC: Amaryl.
01[22:29] <Seira> That's exactly what Amaryl needs as she maneuvers herself before shooting four arrows at Elle's unfortunate assistant to send her soul towards her judgement.
01[22:29] <Seira> roll 4#1d20+18
06[22:29] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 4#1d20+18 and gets 129." [4#1d20+18 = 35, 34, 32, 28]
[22:29] <Kotono> OOC: All hits
[22:29] <Kotono> .
01[22:30] <Seira> roll 4d8+24+4d6+4d6+12d6
06[22:30] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 4d8+24+4d6+4d6+12d6 and gets 104." [4d8=1, 6, 3, 5][4d6=6, 4, 5, 3][4d6=3, 3, 5, 2][12d6=4, 2, 2, 6, 3, 2, 2, 2, 1, 2, 5, 3]
[22:30] <Kotono> Alice is arrowed through her, the arrows embedding into her spiritual chest! She staggers back, held tight in the rope! OOC: Latha.
01[22:31] <Seira> "Maybe the sun can ward the ghosts off?" Seira asks Latha.
[22:33] <Alicia> Latha looks sorrowfully at Alice, Latha speaks a single word of the language of creation, the effort weakening her slightly but hopefully bolstering her power enough to bring peace to the surrounding spirits.
[22:33] <Alicia> roll 2d4 nonlethal for words of creation
06[22:33] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 2d4 nonlethal for words of creation and gets 4." [2d4=3, 1]
[22:33] <Alicia> OOC: DC 22 will for CL 17 holy word
[22:33] <Kotono> roll 1d20+13
06[22:33] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+13 and gets 20." [1d20=7]
[22:34] <Alicia> roll 2d4 again, should've been 4d4
06[22:34] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 2d4 again, should've been 4d4 and gets 3." [2d4=2, 1]
[22:35] <Kotono> The word is of beauty that momentarily draws the spirits to rest. Many of them recoil, some vanishing away entirely! Alice staggers back from it, "FILTHY!" Her voice hisses, "FILTHY!" OOC:  Alicia.
06[22:35] * Alicia is distracted momentarily, her attention drawn to the side...
[22:40] <Alicia> roll 1d20+31 you whore
06[22:40] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+31 you whore and gets 34." [1d20=3]
[22:43] <Alicia> roll 1d20+16 devotion
06[22:43] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+16 devotion and gets 24." [1d20=8]
[22:44] <Alicia> Alicia's eyes narrow at the blasphemous taunting, focusing her attention back on Alice. "They say the Gods have no power here," she begins with icy calm, whether the spirit can hear her or not. "And yet they let me in. I am Mystra's sword, and I bring Her will wherever I go."
[22:44] <Alicia> "Be at peace, Alice, for I send you to rest that was denied. She has not forgotten you," she reassures, voice turning sofer, almost comforting as she strides up to the hissing spectre, a lightning-fast flash of silver trailing flames as she hopefully makes good on her promise.
[22:44] <Alicia> roll 1d20+26 -8pa divine might 4th level arcane strike
06[22:44] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+26 -8pa divine might 4th level arcane strike and gets 27." [1d20=1]
[22:45] <Kotono> Alicia comes forth! Yet as she does, twisting souls appear, stopping her blade! Mystra's distended, bloated, dead face appears in them, biting Alicia's sword back! "FILTHY!" Alice howls, "FILTHY GODDESS! FILTHY WHORE OF A GODDESS!" OOC: Seira.
01[22:47] <Seira> "You don't need us to tell you that you haven't been forgotten," Seira tells Alice's apparition, boxing it off along with Alicia even as she attempts to bring it peace with the Resort. "I'm only sorry it took this long to help you."
01[22:47] <Seira> roll 1d20+22
06[22:47] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+22 and gets 25." [1d20=3]
[22:47] <Kotono> OOC: Hit.
01[22:47] <Seira> roll 1d100
06[22:47] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d100 and gets 86." [1d100=86]
[22:48] <Kotono> OOC: No d100, Antenora roped it.
01[22:48] <Seira> roll 3d8+9+2d8 sorry
06[22:48] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 3d8+9+2d8 sorry and gets 34." [3d8=5, 3, 8][2d8=7, 2]
[22:49] <Kotono> With that final thrust, Alice's form shudders. Like the night at the glorious dawn, it is filled with light. Her head bobs down, "...cold...tell...Countess....I'ms orry I can't...mind her...shop..." she sighs, "But I'm so...tired..." Her ghostly form rises upward, fading away.
[22:49] <Kotono> OOC: Free act.
06[22:50] * Seira says a prayer to the loyal mage, hoping that she finds her peace in Mystra's domain.
[22:50] <Kotono> "Hurry." Latha steps forward, "The foul ones await us."
06[22:50] * Alicia briefly eyes Hell Striker, frowning at how she was denied after making such a big production of things. At least things worked out, but even so... she'll save the profound commentary for *after* she hits things in future. "Perhaps we'll meet again one day, Alice," she whispers, watching it go before nodding to Latha and pressing on.
06[22:52] * Seira once more resigns herself to bringing up the rear along with Amaryl.
[22:53] <Kotono> Thus you walk along the dead path. You walk and you walk and you walk for a good five minutes, souls raging around the road. But at last, you come to a doorway. It's carved of the skull of a gigantic creature, long, narrow mouth full of teeth. At the back of it's throat is pure darkness, forming the shape of a door.

[22:55] <Alicia> "The door's magic, but the ward is designed to keep the spirits in. It shouldn't trouble us," Alicia opines, going to push the door open.
[22:58] <Kotono> Thus you step through the darkness! Ahead of you darkness dwells. You stand in a room of black. Above, a dead sky can be seen, a hole in the center of the 'roof' showing utter oblivion. Pillars support the ceiling along the walls, each one carved as if giant demons and skeletons were supporting them. Fourty feet away, at the back, lies a great throne.

[22:58] <Kotono> Pillars support the ceiling along the walls, each one carved as if giant demons and skeletons were supporting them. Fourty feet away, at the back, lies a great throne. Below it is a rug of lips, chanting wordless paeans of blasphemy.  BEfore this throne three charnel hounds sit, ringed in front by six dread wraiths. Sitting on the throne is your tormentor, standing. "Absurdity!" He says in a cold bellow, "That mere bugs dare to live in my pres

[23:01] <Kotono> "Cursed spawn of oblivion!" Latha points the head of her  mace forward, "Defiler of all that is living and right! Face judgment for your sins on the innocent!"
01[23:01] <Seira> "Beg for your filthy soul to be released to its judgement," Seira spits at their enemy. "Cry for it to come quickly!"
[23:02] <Alicia> "Too long have you dodged Kelemvor's grip, odious corpse that walks," Alicia throws in some flowery language of her own. "If you will not make peace with any Gods, then make peace with your own ego. For you will end now."
[23:02] <Kotono> "Good night. No one will mourn you," Antenora speaks in Celestial, wings ready to take her ot the air.
[23:03] <Kotono> "I'm not afraid of you. I'm not afraid of any of you." Amaryl stays close to Seira, "Because we can't let you go on any more! You killed so many for what? Power...you killed me for your twisted pleasure!" Her voice turns into a shout, "Die!"
[23:04] <Kotono> "Meaningless prattle!" He growls, "You are naught but gnats to my magic! Know the name that will be the last you hear in this mortal life: Glaciante Devarim! Silence shall be your tombstone, Bleak Rendor shall be your prison!" OOC: Init here, I think.

[23:10] <Alicia> OOC: Remember the -1
[23:10] <Kotono> Antenora is surrounded by wraiths, but keeps herself only wounded and moving, not drained to a lifeless husk! OOC: Okay. -1 to those damages. Amaryl.
01[23:13] <Seira> Heading twenty feet to the right so that the lich would have trouble targetting them all, Amaryl just barely hangs in range of Latha's aura even as she concentrates her fire on one of the wraiths that have yet to move.
01[23:13] <Seira> roll 4#1d20+18
06[23:13] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 4#1d20+18 and gets 106." [4#1d20+18 = 20, 32, 33, 21]
[23:14] <Kotono> OOC: Two hits. Choose a number of the nont moved ones, by the way.

[23:15] <Kotono> The arrows are true and fast, the fourth wraith being perforated! It charges at Amaryl in retort, going right at her! OOC: Wraith and Seira are up, lemme resolve the wraith first.
[23:15] <Kotono> roll 1d20+16
06[23:15] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+16 and gets 28." [1d20=12]

06[23:16] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+21 and gets 29." [1d20=8]
[23:17] <Kotono> Amaryl's stone blessed skin stops the pain, the wraith's touch unable to syphon away her life this time! OOC: Seira.
06[23:18] * Seira is but half a step behind Amaryl, only pausing to sheathe herself with flowing acid before stepping in front of the elf, Resort drawn and images springing up all around her!
01[23:18] <Seira> roll 1d4+5
06[23:18] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d4+5 and gets 8." [1d4=3]
[23:19] <Kotono> Thus Seira is surrounded by steaming acid, protecting her body as she shields Amaryl! OOC: Wraith 6.
[23:19] <Kotono> The sixth wraith is relentless, going right for Latha, ready to rip out her heart!
[23:19] <Kotono> roll 1d20+15
06[23:19] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+15 and gets 33." [1d20=18]

06[23:19] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+21 and gets 38." [1d20=17]
[23:20] <Kotono> Latha resists, pushing the ghostly hand out of her chest and from claiming her eternal life and soul! OOC: Latha.
[23:20] <Alicia> Doing as she just did a moment ago, Latha speaks a single clear word in the language of creation!

06[23:21] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 2d4 blinded rounds and gets 5." [2d4=3, 2]
[23:21] <Kotono> The fourth wraith in front of Seira howls, rocking back as Latha's sacred power blinds it, taking away it's cursed vision! OOC: Alicia.
[23:23] <Alicia> Hopefully this is the real deal... Alicia first of all employs the magic of her boots, freezing time around her! With everything frozen, she channls a greater dispel magic into Hell Striker and casts Might of the Planetar. Then she casts Fires of Purity and flies over to hover above Glaciente as time resumes and she attacks!
[23:23] <Alicia> roll 1d20+16 devotion
06[23:23] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+16 devotion and gets 21." [1d20=5]

06[23:26] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d100 and gets 28." [1d100=28]
[23:26] <Kotono> Alicia so appears, but the mage is not surprised! He side steps the blows, yet one goes through his head! BUt he flickers, sitting back on the throne instead! "Pathetic worm, your martial power cannot compare to my power!" He sneers, "You claim to stop time? Pathetic!" OOC: Hound 1 is up.
[23:27] <Kotono> The first hound snarls, charging Latha head on!
[23:27] <Kotono> roll 1d20+19
06[23:27] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+19 and gets 36." [1d20=17]
[23:27] <Kotono> OOC: AC?
[23:28] <Alicia> OOC: 41 vs evil
[23:28] <Kotono> But the snapping maw is stopped by a flow of pure holy energy around her, buffering the huge corpse-hound back! OOC:Wraith 5.
[23:28] <Kotono> The fifth wraith turns, darting for Alicia's back and reaching out for her neck!
[23:28] <Kotono> roll 1d20+15
06[23:28] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+15 and gets 17." [1d20=2]
[23:28] <Alicia> OOC: 16 touch AC, Latha's too far away
[23:29] <Kotono> But Alicia is too fast, whirling Hell-Striker back and knocking the ghost-hand away from her! OOC: Mage is up.
[23:29] <Alicia> OOC: 15 damage from fires of purity, though
[23:30] <Kotono> In his hand an orb appears. It is an orb of black, sitting in his skeletal hands. In it skull-faces writhe and scream with nary a sound. "Now this is power!" He calls, a word of such dreadful potetency that it turns the very room pitch black for a moment, before a field of darkness engulfs Alicia! OOC: Ref.
[23:30] <Alicia> roll 1d20+20
06[23:30] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+20 and gets 32." [1d20=12]

06[23:30] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 21*6 and gets 126."
[23:30] <Kotono> OOC: 126 vile damage and 1 negative level.
[23:31] <Kotono> The orb in his hands glows as the skulls within chant, as a swarm of black laced meteors appear, aimed at Latha! "Be silent, angel!"
[23:31] <Kotono> roll 1d20+27 SR
06[23:31] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+27 SR and gets 44." [1d20=17]

[23:35] <Kotono> As Alicia's flesh is ripped away, vileness nearly turning her into a skeleton, LAtha is knocked down, each meteor turning her blacker and dimmre! Glaciante sits on his throne, "You cling to life? Do you know now the difference between what you call power and what I know as power, worm?" OOC: Antenora.
[23:36] <Alicia> Antenora doesn't waste time on the wraiths surrounding her, knowing they'll be sent running in a moment when someone unleashes the power of the sun. Instead she focuses her attention on Glaciante, waiting for an opening so she can support and shut him up...
[23:36] <Alicia> OOC: readied action to charge him when he casts
[23:37] <Kotono> OOC: Okay. Hound 3 is up.

06[23:37] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+19 and gets 20." [1d20=1]
[23:37] <Kotono> But it misses even the images, snapping into thin air! OOC:  Lagann.
01[23:38] <Seira> Manipulating the Sun Blade with the powers of its demented mind, Lagann raises it high in the center of the chamber, calling upon the sun to grace this desolated landscape with its presence!
[23:41] <Kotono> Thus Lagann spreads the light of the sun, the chamber being lit by pure sunlight! The wraiths seem to shimmer in it, shimmer and howl! OOC: Hound 3.
[23:42] <Kotono> The third hound hisses in the sunlight, before nonetheless charging Seira as well!
[23:42] <Kotono> roll 1d20+15 (-4 sunlight)

01[23:42] <Seira> OOC: Touch or normal?
[23:43] <Kotono> An image is torn apart, bu tnothing more! OOC: Normal. Image 8 goes bye bye.
[23:43] <Kotono> OOC: Wraiths are up.
[23:43] <Kotono> As one, the wraiths shriek and fly back towards the throne, away from the sun! OOC: Amaryl.
01[23:45] <Seira> Amaryl takes a step back, unloading six arrows straight at the first of the hounds to attack Seira.
01[23:45] <Seira> roll 4#1d20+19
06[23:45] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 4#1d20+19 and gets 129." [4#1d20+19 = 38, 32, 23, 36]

06[23:45] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 5#1d8+6+1d6+1d6 and gets 89." [5#1d8+6+1d6+1d6 = 19, 21, 16, 18, 15]
[23:47] <Kotono> Amaryl's arrows of fire burn away at the corpse-hound, it's bodies within steaming and smoking from the embedded arrows! THe fourth wraith flees towards the throne as well! OOC: Seira.
06[23:48] * Seira decides to finish the job, striking out at the wounded hound with all she's got, her claw dripping acid!
01[23:49] <Seira> OOC: First time trying arcane claw for corrosive grasp~
01[23:49] <Seira> roll 1d20+20

[23:58] <Alicia> OOC: I'll do that now!
Session Time: Tue Oct 27 00:00:00 2009
[00:00] <Alicia> Wilting slightly under the assault of vile necromantic magic, Alicia tightens her grip on Hell Striker and glares down at the lich. "I underestimated you..."
[00:00] <Alicia> "Now I won't hold back," she promises, wanting to make him regret his transition to undeath and the accompanying loss of healthy vitality as she slices downwards with a dweomer-shattering strike to tear apart his protections before blowing past his defences and ripping his skeletal frame and starched skin to shreds!
[00:00] <Kotono> OOC: Crit.
[00:00] <Alicia> OOC: how many dispels so I can strip his defences before continuing my full attack?

[00:07] <Kotono> Alicia severs forward! She thrusts into the undead horror with all she has, a skull bursting around her! It drains her very life-force, weakening her all over! Nonetheless, her blade makes the lich burst aflame! He looks down at the blade as his unholy body burns to ash, "Haha...hahahahhahahaha! Impossible! That a bug could do this to me!?" He looks up, "Impossible...!!!!" In a flash the lich's body burns away, dropping behind it's robes, circ
[00:07] <Kotono> "Impossible...!!!!" In a flash the lich's body burns away, dropping behind it's robes, circlet and the orb it held! OOC: Hound 1 is up.

01[00:08] <Seira> "A lot of the impossible's being done, right?" Seira can't help but comment.
[00:08] <Alicia> Seeing Alicia's gotten the job done, Antenora allows a moment of grim satisfaction before she charges the wounded hound Seira and Amaryl are focusing on, healing Latha on the way!
[00:08] <Alicia> roll 1d20+20 -11pa charge

[00:10] <Kotono> Antenora impales the hound from behind, wounding it even deeper, it's corpse-body quaking! The first hound, meanwhile, turns back and goes for the airborn Antenora, snapping up at her!
[00:10] <Kotono> roll 1d20+15
06[00:10] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+15 and gets 23." [1d20=8]

01[00:11] <Seira> Lagann continues to spread the glow!
[00:13] <Kotono> Sunlight spreads further in the room, as the third hound also mauls Seira!

[00:13] <Kotono> OOC: AC?
01[00:13] <Seira> OOC: More than that
[00:13] <Kotono> But Seira is like the wind, dodging and evading! The remaning wraiths flee below, fleeing away from the dreadfulsunlight and out of sight! OOC: Amaryl.

[00:17] <Kotono> Hit with acid, the last hound melts away into a pile of freed bodies, tormented flesh at last saved! OOC: Latha.

[00:18] <Kotono> The hounds are zapped by Latha's fury, weakening a little more, bodies smouldering with white and fading! OOC: Alicia.
[00:19] <Alicia> Glad that she's put the arrogant mage down but also cognisant of the fact that nothing more than magic and fury are keeping her upright, Alicia retreats towards Latha and the shelter of sunlight, offering the deva a smile as she heals herself.
[00:19] <Alicia> roll 18d4+18
06[00:19] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 18d4+18 and gets 57." [18d4=2, 1, 1, 4, 2, 2, 4, 1, 4, 3, 2, 1, 4, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2]

[00:20] <Alicia> Antenora turns to the hound that attacked her, stabbing out repeatedly with her spear as she flies around it, not giving it an easy target as she fights back!

[00:21] <Alicia> roll 3d8+75
06[00:21] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 3d8+75 and gets 88." [3d8=4, 5, 4]
[00:21] <Alicia> OOC: divine succor on Latha
[00:22] <Kotono> The hound is stabbed repeatedly, body collapsing onto itself, but not quite finished yet! The hound snaps at Antenora in retort!
[00:22] <Kotono> roll 1d20+15
06[00:22] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+15 and gets 24." [1d20=9]

01[00:23] <Seira> Lagann just keeps the sunlight spreading.
[00:25] <Kotono> The second hound weakly bites at Seira!

06[00:25] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d9 and gets 1." [1d9=1]

[00:28] <Kotono> Under this hail of arrows, the last hound withers and dies! The throneroom is clear! OOC: Free act.
[00:28] <Kotono> Latha descends to the ground, holding her ribs. "We won."
01[00:28] <Seira> The first thing Seira does is head towards Alicia to congratulate her and mend her wounds!
01[00:28] <Seira> roll 3d8+15
06[00:28] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 3d8+15 and gets 33." [3d8=2, 8, 8]
[00:28] <Kotono> Amaryldraws more arrows, looking about, "I think we really did. We did win!"
06[00:28] * Alicia heals herself some more, since you can never have enough of that. "Made us work for it, and there's no telling when those wraiths will be back. But yes, we did."
[00:28] <Alicia> roll 3d8+15
06[00:28] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 3d8+15 and gets 30." [3d8=5, 5, 5]
[00:29] <Kotono> Antenora approaches Alicia, lightly clasping her shoulder. "Good work, Alicia." OOC: 16 lay on hands.
[00:29] <Alicia> OOC: only need 7
01[00:29] <Seira> "Before they do, let's find his immortal, horribly wilted soul in a jar and smash it?"
06[00:29] * Seira doesn't neglect Latha either, now that Alicia seems better.
01[00:30] <Seira> roll 2d8+10
06[00:30] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 2d8+10 and gets 21." [2d8=8, 3]
06[00:30] * Alicia nods to Seira. "It'll likely be in a place with corpses he can use to reform himself, and supplies to get back on his feet - like a spellbook and such. But we've probably got free run of the place now, so we can turn it top to bottom till we find it."
[00:30] <Kotono> "What about that?" Antenora jerks her head towards the orb, robe and circlet. "Smash them or take them?"
[00:30] <Alicia> Are they evil and/or magical?
[00:31] <Kotono> "What if it's not here?" Latha slowly rights herself, standing and wincing. "If I were a mage, I wouldn't have my weak point at the same place my slayers were."
01[00:31] <Seira> "We can't smash any orbs!" Seira exclaims. "One of them might have Celebrimbor's soul!"
[00:31] <Kotono> OOC: Cl check, Alicia.
[00:31] <Alicia> roll 1d20+17
06[00:31] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+17 and gets 27." [1d20=10]
06[00:31] * Seira blinks at Latha. "You wouldn't put it at your secret base of power no one knows about, that you have had millennia to defend?"
[00:32] <Kotono> "For all his arrogance, he had more than sufficient traps and forces to nearly kill us," Approaching, "Arrogant, but not a fool."
01[00:32] <Seira> "You know, there are mages who carry the important things with them, where they can protect them. Like me and my spellbook."
[00:32] <Alicia> "They're all magical, and the robe is vile, as if the decoration didn't give it away. We might as well grab everything and sort it out later," Alicia opines, opening up the portable hole and shuffling everything inside. "If it's not here it's not here. But we should at least look for it."
[00:33] <Kotono> Smiling now, despite all of it, "I hope you're right and I pray that you are, Seira."
06[00:33] * Seira gives her a thumbs up, before carefully looking over the room to ensure they haven't missed anything, including any secret doors.
[00:34] <Kotono> OOC: Search.
06[00:34] * Alicia doesn't pay overmuch attention to the orb for the moment, simply putting it in the hole. Now's not the time for experimenting with strange magic that seemed to be the focus for very very evil and nasty magic that hurt her a lot.
[00:34] <Alicia> "Also, it seemed your words were able to send those souls onwards in the last chamber, at least coupled with Mystra's blessing. Shall we try and clear it out before anything else?" Alicia asks Latha once she's folded the hole up.
01[00:35] <Seira> roll 1d20+30 search
06[00:35] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+30 search and gets 45." [1d20=15]
06[00:35] * Alicia helps Seira look around a bit, pointing out here and there.
[00:36] <Alicia> roll 1d20+2
06[00:36] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+2 and gets 17." [1d20=15]
[00:36] <Alicia> OOC: -2 from my int drain, actually
01[00:37] <Seira> "If he kept anything in this base, it's not here," Seira asserts, silently calling for the power to sense any orbs, much like ones that would hold souls from her arcane teachings. Between that, her ability to see the invisible and Lagann's senses, they might be able to come up with something as they explore the rest of the compound.
01[00:38] <Seira> OOC: If it needs to happen, I'll just take 10 on search at random intervals as we go along to make sure there's nothing we're missing?

[Corwin]

[20:06] <Kotono> <Alicia> "Also, it seemed your words were able to send those souls onwards in the last chamber, at least coupled with Mystra's blessing. Shall we try and clear it out before anything else?" Alicia asks Latha once she's folded the hole up.
[20:06] <Kotono> <Seira> roll 1d20+30 search
[20:06] <Kotono> * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+30 search and gets 45." [1d20=15]
[20:06] <Kotono> * Alicia helps Seira look around a bit, pointing out here and there.
[20:06] <Kotono> <Alicia> roll 1d20+2
[20:06] <Kotono> * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+2 and gets 17." [1d20=15]
[20:06] <Kotono> <Alicia> OOC: -2 from my int drain, actually
[20:06] <Kotono> <Seira> "If he kept anything in this base, it's not here," Seira asserts, silently calling for the power to sense any orbs, much like ones that would hold souls from her arcane teachings. Between that, her ability to see the invisible and Lagann's senses, they might be able to come up with something as they explore the rest of the compound.
[20:06] <Kotono> <Seira> OOC: If it needs to happen, I'll just take 10 on search at random intervals as we go along to make sure there's nothing we're missing?
[20:07] <Kotono> OOC: Okay, so Seira's going to search behind while Alicia/Latha holy word/aura combo?
[20:07] <Alicia> OOC: in the bone-bridge chamber filled with distraught spirits, yes
01[20:08] <Seira> OOC: Not so much behind as alongside, but yes
03[20:11] * Retrieving #dunes modes...
[20:12] <Kotono> Thus the two get to work, Seira searching with them, while Amaryl and Antenora are on guard. Each utterance of Holy Word brings light to this forsaken chamber, faces screaming and yet sighing in relief. Souls dissipate, floating away into what ether awaits beyond. Seira searches as they do so, finding the platform to be plain, with no obvious end to the void all around in sight, nor anything interesting or telling in it. The song of the chambe
[20:12] <Kotono> nor anything interesting or telling in it. The song of the chamber begins to change as you word. In Celestial, a song of release and hope is sung. Amid this, an image appears before you. It is of a man dressed in battleworn armor and carrying a silver dragon's claw from a band on his neck.
01[20:13] <Seira> "Oh, hi!" Seira greets the man, ceasing with her pointless searching.
06[20:13] * Alicia eyes this new spirit warily, recalling how Alice treated them. "We seek only to grant you release that was denied," she says, for whatever it's worth.
[20:14] <Kotono> "...Before you do..." His voice is the rustling of leaves in the fall wind, "Listen to my words, for I attempted to stop the Dark Six before."
01[20:14] <Seira> "A worthy, honorable persuit," Seira agrees with approval. "What is it?"
06[20:15] * Alicia relaxes, seeing that this spirit means them no harm. He must have tremendous will to have retained his sense of self in a place such as this, so she regards him more respectfully. "If your words will help us bring low your tormentors, we will gladly listen."
[20:17] <Kotono> "His name...is Sylian, he who sought to vie with the Unspoken Chaos...His name...is Mudan Scylion...master of undeath..." He breathes, "Of those two...Sylian...treats with the Unspoken Chaos, the Pale Mother of Demo...gorgon. Long did I oppose the Pale Mother's plans...finding that the Dark Six...are tied to her goals."
[20:18] <Alicia> That's two more names for the six, leaving only two others unknown. "What goals are those?" she asks.
[20:20] <Kotono> "I found...only after my death...they revere what should not be...it claims to be a Godling, yet is Neverborn." The image flickers back and forth, "The Pale Mother...I know not how deep the connection goes, but I know this. For as long as the sacrifice of the innocent children of loving chaos...continues in Her realm...Bleak Rendor...shall never be seen. Such is the pact of the Pale Mother."
01[20:21] <Seira> "We can't even get there unless we achieve what generations of celestials have tried and failed to bring about?" Seira asks incredulously.
[20:23] <Kotono> "There...is...hope." His breath seems to blow past you, his image flickering like a candle in the winter wind. "The keys...to the freedom of the lost children...lies in your hands. I feel it's nightmarish might...the orb...one of the orbs of the Dark Six...keys of the pact. I paid for this knowledge with my life. In your hands...you have...the chance to free them."
01[20:24] <Seira> Seira's eyes widen at this tidbit, and she nods at the apparition. "We'll continue your quest, rest assured of that."
[20:25] <Alicia> "Then it looks like we'll be returning to the Abyss after all, for all that Gurlan retains his reprieve," Alicia nods her head resolutely. "I did sense immense power in the orb, for all that it troubles me... if it can be used to free Pale Night's captives, so much the better."
[20:27] <Kotono> "It is the key...but I have faced the Pale Mother's machinations long...you will face horrors...before you have your chance. Be brave and true, for the Triad...will protect you..." With a gaze to Alicia, "The curse...the spiteful wrath...of Glaciante Devarim pollutes you...be warned, that magic will be immortal to your words...until it is undone."
[20:28] <Alicia> "What do you mean immortal?" Alicia asks in confusion, as Antenora helpfully casts remove curse on her.
[20:30] <Kotono> "That you will never be able to undo magic...until it is undone." The spirit sighs, as Alicia feels no different after the remove curse. "Go now. Finish freeing those souls...and free...the children from Pale Mother's...grasp. Please."
[20:31] <Alicia> roll 1d20+14 knowledge arcana for any helpful info on such curses?
06[20:31] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+14 knowledge arcana for any helpful info on such curses? and gets 26." [1d20=12]
01[20:31] <Seira> "You should get going towards your own reward, then, too," Seira tells him. "You've certainly earned it."
01[20:32] <Seira> roll 1d20+26
06[20:32] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+26 and gets 46." [1d20=20]
[20:33] <Kotono> The images fades away. As it leaves, "Androlynne..." Antenora murmurs, "Right back into the Abyss."
[20:35] <Alicia> "Not until we've cleansed this pit from top to bottom. We don't want any of the Dark Six to find anything useful here after we've left," Alicia says briskly, deciding she'll figure out what to do about this curse once they're back home.
01[20:35] <Seira> "If I got it right, it's almost ingenious," Seira voices. "Each party has a weakness, but they're using the other side to cover for it. I'm somewhat baffled they can trust each other to such a level, but once you get past that...."
[20:35] <Alicia> "Hmm?" Alicia cocks her head, looking at Seira for her to elaborate on her insight.
01[20:36] <Seira> "I might be overanalyzing it, but it sounds like the eladrin children can't be freed as long as those keys exist. And the keys were taken to Bleak Rendor, which in turn cannot be accessed for as long as the children remain prisoner and are slowly being sacrificed."
06[20:37] * Seira shrugs. "If I'm anywhere near the target here, as long as both sides stick to their agreement, they serve as the other's immunity for their one weakness."
[20:38] <Kotono> Antenora's face explodes into a scowl, "I have trouble believing a demon could stick to it's word for so long," A deep growl comes out, "Yet...if you're correct, it's a scheme worthy of a devil."
01[20:39] <Seira> "Maybe Malcanthet is more active in her cursed child's life than we were lead to believe?"
[20:39] <Kotono> "Maybe. The Pale Mother meant Pale Night, right?" Amaryl asks, "The demon princess of Androlynne?"
[20:39] <Alicia> roll 1d20+23 planes, relations between mal-chan and pale night?
06[20:39] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+23 planes, relations between mal-chan and pale night? and gets 43." [1d20=20]
01[20:42] <Seira> roll 1d20+28
06[20:42] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+28 and gets 46." [1d20=18]
[20:43] <Alicia> "Pale Night surely gets something out of the deal. As for Malcanthet?" Alicia looks somewhat uncomfortable, knowing more about the Queen of Succubi than she'd honestly like, but given her interest it's unavoidable.
[20:43] <Alicia> "She and Pale Night have nothing to do with each other. Malcanthet is very involved in Abyssal politics, but Pale Night holds herself above it all. She's... different, than the usual tanar'ri. Older."
01[20:43] <Seira> "At the risk of derailing the conversation, Alicia," Seira then mentions, having thought on the issue for a while until then, "Ajan may be able to remove this curse, much like he was able to break the chains that bound me to the ground. As we'll see him soon enough, you could inquire with him, and perhaps negotiate something."
[20:45] <Alicia> "Well, we'll see," Alicia shrugs, not particularly enthused about putting herself in debt to the ancient wyrm. "For now lets focus on the task at hand?"
01[20:46] <Seira> "Of course," Seira agrees. "On the matter of Pale Night, aside from the obvious, does she gain benefit from slaying and converting the crusaders that come to try and free the captive eladrin? Is there a way to channel all that senseless sacrifice into power?"
[20:47] <Kotono> "I don't know," Latha says as she utters naother Holy Word, more spirits freed, "That's the most salient question - what does Pale Night gain from this?"
[20:48] <Alicia> "I don't know," Alicia shakes her head. "The story I got from Marie was just that she tormented them for amusement. Considering demonic behaviour it's easy to see why such an explanation would be accepted."
01[20:48] <Seira> "The obvious would be tribute, spoils of war, training her forces and amusement," Seira voices.
[20:49] <Kotono> "If that's just a cover," Antenora's color drains, "The thought of an ancient demon able to manage that level of subtle plotting is a nightmare."
01[20:49] <Seira> "Well, if anyone has the patience to plot like that, it would be an ancient demon, right?"
01[20:49] <Seira> *any demon
[20:50] <Alicia> "Yes," Alicia looks askance at Antenora. "They're not all foaming-mouthed idiots."
[20:50] <Kotono> "I suppose I can accept that in rare cases," Antenora looks right back at Alicia. "No matter. Let's finish this affair before we lose our heads in the clouds of scheming?"
[20:50] <Kotono> As Latha finishes, the spirits have faded away. The song is gone now, only blackness and a peaceful silence left behind in the wake of the spirits.
06[20:51] * Seira hardly has anything else to contribute, observing as she is. Once the song fades away, she jerks her head towards the entrance to the corridor. "Let's move on?" she proposes.
[20:52] <Kotono> "Where to? Back above? But I haven't seen any stairs," Amaryl asks, "How are you supposed to move about here otherwise?"
[20:52] <Alicia> "We never explored all the way past the field of corpses," Alicia notes. "But we can always just go back up the tunnel, anyway."
01[20:53] <Seira> "Dimensional Door, maybe?" Seira voices. "And we can search more. Perhaps even one of the rooms with the forcefields actually has something, hiding itself amongst others appearing just like it."
[20:53] <Kotono> OOC: So going to go back and search the forcefield rooms, then go ahead back to the room of corpses?
[20:54] <Alicia> OOC: sure
01[20:54] <Seira> OOC: I'll take 10 for 40, others can probably boost it to the 45-50 area?
[20:54] <Kotono> OOC: Okay.
[20:56] <Kotono> Thus the party searches the forcefield rooms - nothing of note is found. Each of them seem to be exactly as they advertise. On heading back to the room of corpses, you find most of them have burnt off. The stench of death lingers in the room as you proceed on. After a few minutes of walking down this vast corridor, Seira finds hidden door on a side wall.
06[20:56] * Seira gives the room a far closer look, gesturing for the others to stay back in case it is trapped.
01[20:56] <Seira> OOC: 40 again to search traps
[20:57] <Kotono> The door is not trapped.
01[20:58] <Seira> Just the same, Seira makes sure she is the only one in the vicinity before saying, "Okay, here goes, I'm opening it," and following her own words.
[20:59] <Kotono> The door is opened! Inside is a chamber of black metal. Six skulls are embedded into the back wall, the room only ten feet deep and wide. In each skull's mouth, six strange, sickly, bloody scrolls rest.
06[20:59] * Alicia naturally is alert to point out any magic or evil auras present.
06[21:00] * Seira is on the lookout for evil as well, and resolves to keep at it until they return to Balmuria.
01[21:01] <Seira> "Do the scrolls seem explosive?"
[21:01] <Alicia> roll 1d20+23 spellcraft
06[21:01] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+23 spellcraft and gets 36." [1d20=13]
[21:02] <Alicia> "They're thick with vile necromantic magic," Alicia replies distastefully. "Might not explode but could suck the life right out of you."
06[21:02] * Seira examines the door, and whether it would block Lagann's power when closed right back.
[21:04] <Kotono> The door is thick, solid metal. It would block detect spells and the like due to sheer thickness. Metal doesn't generally block Lagann's powers.
06[21:04] * Alicia moves to look over the leftmost scroll, being careful not to touch it.
01[21:05] <Seira> "I think I'll just burn the whole thing. Are you sure you want to look at them?"
[21:05] <Kotono> "I do like Seira's suggestion. The fact that they're here suggests they're to raise the undead," Latha hangs back, out of the room.
01[21:05] <Seira> "I'm usually very curious, but in this case, I can live with the not knowing. Emphasis on live."
06[21:07] * Alicia pauses. "Very well," she relents. She'd hoped to find useful information, but they'd hardly write a journal on paper so rife with necromancy. Stepping back out of the room, she lets Seira do the honours.
06[21:08] * Seira takes six of Amaryl's remaining fiery arrows, breaking off the tips, and tosses them into the room, closing the door behind them. "Lagann, make sure these get to their destinations?" she instructs the sentient orb.
[21:08] <Kotono> Thus Lagann works! You can faintly smell a horrible stench of burning, competeting with the lingering aura in here, but it soon passes.
06[21:08] * Seira opens the door again after a few more moments.
[21:10] <Kotono> There is only ash where thes crolls were.
01[21:10] <Seira> If the aura of evil is now safely dissipating, Seira will search the room like all the others!
01[21:11] <Seira> "A bit disappointing, but better safe than sorry."
[21:11] <Kotono> "Infinitely better," Antenora wrinkles her nose, "Let's continue on?"
01[21:11] <Seira> OOC: 40 to search traps
01[21:12] <Seira> OOC: then 40 to search, if no traps
01[21:12] <Seira> "Yeah, we can safely move on," Seira agrees after her brief glance of the room.
06[21:13] * Alicia nods and proceeds onwards, alert for any magical or evil auras as they go, leaving Seira to identify anything hidden beyond her sight.
[21:13] <Kotono> After about ten minutes of walking, you find the burnt corpses and room comes to an end. No sign of anything of note, Seira's searching not turning up much besides a dead end. Alicia's magical eyes find little of note as well.
[21:15] <Alicia> "Looks like we'll have to head back upstairs... it's rather wasteful if he has to teleport everywhere, though, isn't it?" Alicia muses, turning around. "That lich we killed, it was the same one that sealed up Lagann?" she double-checks with Hell Striker.
01[21:15] <Seira> "Well, this is definitely strange," Seira admits. "Want to try digging down as well as up?"
[21:15] <Kotono> "You know, that's not a bad idea. If they use magic to get around..." Latha looks down at the ground.
01[21:16] <Seira> "Huh." Seira looks at Latha speculatively, and then at Antenora. "What if it wasn't wasteful at all, but something he had readily available, like those smites?"
[21:17] <Alicia> "Fair point," Alicia agrees with Seira. "Anyway, I'll try digging a tunnel down when we get back to the corridor? It's probably more likely to hit something there."
[21:17] <Kotono> OOC: REturning to the tunnel?
[21:18] <Alicia> OOC: yes
[21:18] <Kotono> The party returns to the tunnel without incident.
06[21:20] * Alicia steps to the side of the corridor, and after Latha drops a pair of dispel evils on her she aims downwards at a slight angle to make a slope rather than a vertical drop as she excavates a 280 feet deep path!
[21:20] <Alicia> roll 10d8 DC 24
06[21:20] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 10d8 DC 24 and gets 45." [10d8=4, 6, 5, 5, 1, 8, 5, 1, 4, 6]
[21:21] <Kotono> Thus Alicia fires in! The spellfire burrows deep...Alicia can see light below, then more light then...with a woosh, the spellfire is returning BACKWARDS, coming back up the tunnel like a ball on the rebound bounce!
[21:22] <Alicia> "Dive!" Alicia yelps, diving to the side and out of the line of fire, although with everyone spaced it shouldn't threaten anyone else.
06[21:22] * Seira dives towards Amaryl, shielding her with her body!
[21:23] <Kotono> The party dives out of the way! The spellfire bursts in this room, hitting the ceiling before fading, leaving a slight, ten foot indent in it.
[21:23] <Kotono> Antenora looks up from being face down, coughing, "What...how?"
01[21:23] <Seira> "How about we dig in all directions... but with less power?"
[21:24] <Alicia> "I really don't know..." Alicia peers down the newly excavated tunnel. "I think that's enough, though."
[21:24] <Kotono> "How about we explore first?" Latha dusts herself off, "If this gets us far enough, no need to risk further tunnels."
06[21:24] * Seira looks down the fresh passage, absent-mindedly refreshing the extended spell keeping her healthy and safe.
[21:26] <Kotono> A faint light comes from sixty feet down, a black floor below seen.
06[21:26] * Seira flips a golden coin!
01[21:26] <Seira> roll 1d2
06[21:26] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d2 and gets 1." [1d2=1]
01[21:26] <Seira> "Waukeen says up. Works?"
[21:26] <Kotono> Past that, the hole continues, down 120 from your place, something only glimpsed.
[21:27] <Alicia> "We're going to cover it all eventually, but we can go back up first, yes. Lets clear out the rest of the treasure we found with our belongings?" Alicia suggests, flying up into the ascending tunnel and starting to climb.
[21:28] <Kotono> You return to the room of black velvet, flying up with Seira giving Amaryl a lift. There's a door you haven't gone in, as well as the opposite door that leads to the treasure room and four other unexplored doors.
06[21:29] * Alicia heads to the left, flying over the pit with a golem somewhere at the bottom.
06[21:29] * Seira certainly doesn't mind flying with Amaryl in her arms, keeping safely in the center.
[21:31] <Kotono> You return to the center room without incident. There are six doors, one came through and one leading to th etreasure room. There are four other unexplored doors here.
06[21:31] * Alicia goes to the treasure room, all the wealth before that was ignored in favour of their own possessions now regarded with a critical eye.
[21:31] <Alicia> OOC: any magic/evil?
01[21:31] <Seira> "Get the treasure while I check the doors for traps?" Seira proposes, doing her part.
01[21:32] <Seira> OOC: Any evil? Also, taking 10 for 40 again on traps.
[21:33] <Kotono> (Line coming after PMs.)
[21:35] <Kotono> Seira doesn't find any traps, just great piles of wealth. A shard of glass crusted with diamond, a beautiful ceramic doll of an elf child, a painstaking flagon of crystal, wine still inside, a blue diamond with a green, pupil-less eye inside, the silver deathmask of a dwarf. Yet there are terrible things in it as well. A circle of pure obsidian can be opened, showing Shar sacrificing and violating Mystra. Another is of a unicorn, a tentacled m
[21:35] <Kotono>  showing Shar sacrificing and violating Mystra. Another is of a unicorn, a tentacled mass ripping it's body apart into insane angles and distortions. Of the magic items, there are six: (More)
[21:37] <Kotono> A scroll, a set of green chainmail, glowing, a black book with nine points of red on the cover that radiates strong evil, a heavy crossbow, an ornate crown and a golden armband.
01[21:38] <Seira> "If the curse that hit you is in that book, it might be even easier to devise a counterspell to it," Seira muses.
[21:39] <Alicia> Pretty much everything gets shuffled into the portable hole to be dealt with later. However, Alicia exercises her art critic side and makes a point of shattering the pieces she finds objectionable. Shar vs Mystra and Zetsubokou's work on a unicorn among them. "Perhaps. We can sort through it all in detail when we return to Balmuria."
[21:40] <Kotono> roll 9d8
06[21:40] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 9d8 and gets 38." [9d8=3, 3, 2, 6, 6, 6, 4, 7, 1]
[21:40] <Kotono> On touching the black book, a deathchill passes through Alicia as she sweeps things into her hole! OOC: 38 cold damage.
[21:41] <Alicia> "Brrr!" Alicia pulls back her suddenly numb hand and gives it a shake. "Make sure you're protected against cold if you read that book."
01[21:41] <Seira> "I hate magical books. They have these magical book cooties that just hate me."
[21:42] <Kotono> "Cooties..." Antenora shakes her head, "By Mystra, sometimes I wonder about you, Seira. The archmage of the Baronies speaking like that."
01[21:42] <Seira> "You haven't been hated by books as I have," Seira states sagely.
[21:43] <Alicia> "Well, don't expect this one to befriend you," Alicia rolls up the hole and stands up. "Lets check the other rooms?"
01[21:43] <Seira> "Yeah, I'd be worried if it did," Seira agrees, already on her way to examine the next door clockwise.
01[21:44] <Seira> OOC: 40 for traps?
[21:44] <Kotono> Thus the party returns out. The next door is not trapped or locked.
06[21:44] * Seira opens it, taking a peek past it.
[21:45] <Kotono> Inside is a chamber of skulls. The walls are nothing but skulls, layer on layer of them. The ceiling is black oblivion. The floor is bone-white stone, unfinished.  Here and there bone-white sand lies in small piles.
[21:45] <Kotono> The room radiates overwhelming evil and strong magic to those who are scanning.
[21:45] <Alicia> roll 1d20+23 spellcraft
06[21:45] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+23 spellcraft and gets 27." [1d20=4]
01[21:46] <Seira> "I've got nothing," Seira admits, glancing at Alicia. "Some kind of evil sand room?"
[21:48] <Alicia> "This is probably where they made corporeal undead," Alicia muses, grimacing at the overwhelming taint emanating from within. "Let me find out just how far reaching Glaciante's curse was," she adds, a glowing white field of holy energy surrounding her as she steps into the room and discharges it into the magic, seeing if Dispel Evil works where Dispel Magic fails.
[21:51] <Kotono> The dispellation fizzles away, Dispel Evil coming to nothing.
[21:53] <Alicia> "Hmph..." Alicia glowers. "Well played," she mutters, deriving no small amount of satisfaction from the fact that she ripped the arrogant lich to shreds not half an hour ago. "Latha, could you do the honours?"
[21:54] <Kotono> Latha steps in, glowing with holy energies! Reaching out, the magic in the room shatters! Immediately, the skull walls start to crumble! The ceiling groans, the floor withering! OOC: Make a reflex save for Latha?
06[21:55] * Seira is ready to try and get Latha out of there at the groaning sounds of failing architecture!
[21:55] <Alicia> roll 1d20+22
06[21:55] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+22 and gets 27." [1d20=5]
[21:56] <Kotono> Fortunately for all, Latha moves out of the way like a bullet! The room collapses into itself, a vast groan as the room is now utter emptiness, save for a single spot of pure black in the air, standing out from the other oblivion with a terrible intensity.
01[21:57] <Seira> "Good job!" Seira says approvingly, closing the door and moving on to the next one.
[21:57] <Alicia> "Er, Seira?" Alicia puts out a hand to hold the door open, indicating the umbral blot in the room. "We should probably figure out what that is, first."
[21:58] <Alicia> OOC: Such as, is it magic or evil?
01[21:58] <Seira> "Creepy black spot?"
[21:59] <Alicia> roll 1d20+23 spellcraft
06[21:59] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+23 spellcraft and gets 36." [1d20=13]
[22:00] <Kotono> OOC: You two can make K:A here.
[22:00] <Alicia> roll 1d20+13 sure
06[22:00] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+13 sure and gets 24." [1d20=11]
01[22:00] <Seira> roll 1d20+26 right
06[22:00] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+26 right and gets 28." [1d20=2]
[22:01] <Kotono> "Um..." Antenora looks ahead, "It's alive. Intelligent."
[22:01] <Alicia> "I..." Alicia takes half a step back. "We really don't want to touch that. I think it's a sphere of annihilation..."
01[22:02] <Seira> "Sounds about right," Seira agrees. "Can we close the door now? Maybe it'll go away."
[22:02] <Kotono> As yo uspeak, the orb begins to advance towards you! OOC: Roll init.
01[22:02] <Seira> roll 1d20+6
06[22:02] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+6 and gets 25." [1d20=19]
01[22:02] <Seira> roll 1d20+8 A
06[22:02] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+8 A and gets 20." [1d20=12]
01[22:02] <Seira> roll 1d20 L
06[22:02] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20 L and gets 8." [1d20=8]
[22:03] <Kotono> roll 1d20+10
06[22:03] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+10 and gets 11." [1d20=1]
[22:03] <Alicia> roll 1d20+7 Alicia
06[22:03] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+7 Alicia and gets 8." [1d20=1]
[22:03] <Alicia> roll 1d20+5 Anty
06[22:03] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+5 Anty and gets 25." [1d20=20]
[22:03] <Alicia> roll 1d20+8 Latha
06[22:03] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+8 Latha and gets 20." [1d20=12]
03[22:04] * Kotono changes topic to 'Seira=Antenora(25)>Amaryl=Latha(20)>Spot of black(11)>Alicia=Lagann(8)'
[22:04] <Kotono> OOC: What a strange init.
[22:04] <Kotono> OOC: ?You two are up.
06[22:04] * Seira decides to try that which has worked consistently in the past and kill it with fire!
01[22:04] <Seira> roll 8d8+2d8
06[22:04] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 8d8+2d8 and gets 53." [8d8=1, 8, 4, 6, 7, 2, 7, 8][2d8=7, 3]
01[22:05] <Seira> roll 1d4
06[22:05] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d4 and gets 2." [1d4=2]
[22:05] <Kotono> Fire bathes the sphere, washing over it! It smokes and smoulders, making no effort to dodge! OOC: Antenora.
06[22:05] * Seira steps back after that, drawing the Resort.
[22:06] <Alicia> Antenora throws up a blade barrier to fill the doorway, hoping it'll somehow stop the thing with the scary name from coming any closer!
[22:07] <Kotono> OOC: Amaryl and Latha.
01[22:08] <Seira> Amaryl retreats from the scary blot as well, trying her luck with the arrows at her disposal.
01[22:08] <Seira> roll 4#1d20+18
06[22:08] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 4#1d20+18 and gets 107." [4#1d20+18 = 26, 19, 37, 25]
[22:08] <Kotono> OOC: One hit.
01[22:09] <Seira> roll 1d8+6+1d6+1d6+6d6
06[22:09] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d8+6+1d6+1d6+6d6 and gets 30." [1d8=1][1d6=5][1d6=1][6d6=3, 1, 5, 1, 5, 2]
01[22:09] <Seira> OOC: I moved 30ft back, she'd move 40ft.
[22:09] <Kotono> The arrows fly past it! One hits, burrowing into it for a split second, before it's utterly vaporized into nothingness! The spot of black advances at this, through the blade barrier! OOC: Roll damage.
[22:10] <Kotono> OOC: Okay.
[22:10] <Alicia> roll 15d6
06[22:10] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 15d6 and gets 45." [15d6=2, 4, 6, 1, 4, 4, 2, 5, 1, 6, 1, 2, 1, 1, 5]
[22:11] <Kotono> As it passes through, the blade barrier vanishes! It continues on it's path, going straight for Antenora!
[22:11] <Kotono> roll 1d20+25 touch
06[22:11] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+25 touch and gets 41." [1d20=16]
[22:11] <Kotono> OOC: Fort, Antenora.
[22:11] <Alicia> roll 1d20+32
06[22:11] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+32 and gets 37." [1d20=5]
[22:11] <Kotono> roll 20d6 full damage but no more.
06[22:11] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 20d6 full damage but no more. and gets 71." [20d6=3, 2, 3, 2, 5, 5, 6, 5, 1, 2, 1, 2, 6, 1, 5, 6, 3, 6, 2, 5]
[22:11] <Alicia> OOC: Latha would like to go now
[22:12] <Kotono> Antenora dives quickly out of the way! Only her arm is grazed, but he entire body nearly vaporizes! She screams, black racing all over her nearly fading body! OOC: Whoops, sorry, go.
[22:14] <Alicia> "Our attacks do nothing, we must retreat!" Latha suggests urgently, moving over behind Antenora and preparing to plane shift once everyone joins her.
[22:15] <Kotono> OOC: Okay. In the meantime, Lagann and Alicia can go.
01[22:15] <Seira> Lagann hardly cares either way, but as long as he's in combat, the sentient orb flings magic missiles at the hateful blot.
01[22:15] <Seira> roll 5d4+5
06[22:15] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 5d4+5 and gets 17." [5d4=4, 1, 4, 2, 1]
[22:16] <Kotono> The missiles hit the orb, slamming into it and vanishing a split second later! OOC: Alicia.
[22:16] <Alicia> Alicia things Latha's onto something, but on the off chance this thing is from the negative energy plane she attempts to banish it back there before she moves over to take the deva's hand. "Return to whatever void you came from!"
[22:16] <Kotono> OOC: Turning it?
[22:16] <Alicia> OOC: DC 22 will, +/- difference between my hd and its (currently 17 here)
[22:17] <Alicia> OOC: Dismissal
[22:17] <Alicia> OOC: No need to save if it's native, obviously
[22:17] <Kotono> The magic flows...but nothing happens! OOC: Seira and Antenora are up.
[22:18] <Alicia> Antenora heals herself and smites it, taking Latha's hand and preparing to be plane shifted away from the void that hungers!
[22:19] <Alicia> roll 5d8 since it's clearly not an outsider, DC 22
06[22:19] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 5d8 since it's clearly not an outsider, DC 22 and gets 23." [5d8=6, 2, 3, 7, 5]
06[22:19] * Seira doesn't particularly likes this plan, and thus proposes, "What if I try to use dimension door to get us to where we started?" The blot may not be able to detect them at a distance, and likely wouldn't find them.
[22:19] <Kotono> The smite bursts over the orb, washing over it before the light itself vanishes!
[22:20] <Alicia> "Just so long as we're away from here," Antenora replies worriedly, not liking the look of things.
06[22:20] * Seira waits for Amaryl to shoot the orb and rejoin Latha, which the elf swiftly does!
01[22:20] <Seira> roll 4#1d20+18
06[22:20] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 4#1d20+18 and gets 116." [4#1d20+18 = 34, 23, 27, 32]
[22:21] <Kotono> OOC: No hits.
[22:21] <Kotono> The arrows simply fade away before touching the orb, undamaging to it! OOC: Seira, taking your held action now?
06[22:22] * Seira is the last one to the group, and then attempts to shift them away. She can move them for a bit over a thousand feet, and will do so for a safe spot far beyond sight.

[Corwin]

[20:12] <Alicia> * Seira doesn't particularly likes this plan, and thus proposes, "What if I try to use dimension door to get us to where we started?" The blot may not be able to detect them at a distance, and likely wouldn't find them.
[20:12] <Alicia> <Kotono> The smite bursts over the orb, washing over it before the light itself vanishes!
[20:12] <Alicia> <Alicia> "Just so long as we're away from here," Antenora replies worriedly, not liking the look of things.
[20:12] <Alicia> * Seira waits for Amaryl to shoot the orb and rejoin Latha, which the elf swiftly does!
[20:12] <Alicia> <Seira> roll 4#1d20+18
[20:12] <Alicia> * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 4#1d20+18 and gets 116." [4#1d20+18 = 34, 23, 27, 32]
[20:12] <Alicia> <Kotono> OOC: No hits.
[20:12] <Alicia> <Kotono> The arrows simply fade away before touching the orb, undamaging to it! OOC: Seira, taking your held action now?
[20:12] <Alicia> * Seira is the last one to the group, and then attempts to shift them away. She can move them for a bit over a thousand feet, and will do so for a safe spot far beyond sight.
[20:12] <Kotono> OOC: Small ret-con: The orb touched Antenora, but somehow she resisted it. What direction are you going in with the TP, Cor?
01[20:14] <Seira> OOC: If the middle level we originally appeared at is within ~1100ft from us, there. If not, as far back as 1080ft takes us at this level, into a spot out of sight. It's DD, so it'd work flawlessly unless blocked.
[20:15] <Kotono> OOC:  You mean the level where you fought Melancton?
01[20:15] <Seira> OOC: No, the one with the lich and the corpses
[20:23] <Kotono> Woosh! In a moment, you appear in the battleground below, where Amaryl gave her life and the wraiths were once againd efeated.
[20:24] <Alicia> "Lets hope it stays put with nothing to get its attention, now?" Alicia offers hopefully, glancing upwards. "If it really is a sphere of annihilation I'm not sure how we can destroy it, or even hold it in place."
01[20:24] <Seira> "So it's possible to travel like this here, at least," Seira says upon noticing their whereabout and then studiously ignoring them. "I was worried outright escape from this prison wouldn't work, much like with that returned spellfire."
[20:25] <Kotono> "Hmph," Antenora looks upward, then to downward hole Alicia made, "How about we explore downwards then?"
[20:25] <Kotono> Amaryl looks about, before simply sliding closer to Seira.
[20:25] <Alicia> "Considering I can't dispel any anchoring magic, it would place us in a sticky situation," Alicia agrees. Nodding to Antenora, she starts heading down the hole.
01[20:26] <Seira> "I can manage a few tries," Seira muses. "But we're not there yet, I think. And if we do have to face that thing again, it's sufficiently different from a sphere of annihilation that we might simply wear it down."
[20:27] <Kotono> Alicia leads the party down the slopes hole. After sixty feet of this, you come out in a vast, long corridor. It's ten feet wide, somewhat cramped. Yet it stretches farther than you can see in either direction. The wallsa re lined with a strange, flesh colored parchment, each one about five feet wall and two wide, lined up to each other so that almost none of the real wall is seen. Each one is covered with writing in Abyssal, Draconic, Elven,
[20:27] <Kotono> the real wall is seen. Each one is covered with writing in Abyssal, Draconic, Elven, Ignan, Auran, and a dozen other scripts of past, present and planar origins.
[20:27] <Alicia> "The only thing I can think of that might harm it would be the First Resort. Any melee weapons would likely be destroyed on contact, and spells didn't seem to affect it," Alicia muses, looking over the text thoughtfully.
[20:28] <Kotono> roll 1d100
06[20:28] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d100 and gets 4." [1d100=4]
01[20:28] <Seira> "How about your own dagger?"
[20:28] <Kotono> This particular bit of text is on refuting the will of the Gods. It instructs the supplicant on being an apostate, promising near invincibility to divine magic. It is only one of many, nearly endless parchments spread about.
[20:29] <Alicia> "Well I don't really want to lose it," Alicia replies distractedly as she reads, before snorting. "Garbage," she summarises, starting to head down the corridor to the left.
[20:29] <Kotono> Antenora happens to glance at once as well.
[20:29] <Kotono> roll 1d100
06[20:29] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d100 and gets 62." [1d100=62]
[20:30] <Kotono> Antenora takes her spear, ripping down one of the parchments roughly, sending it tumbling down in a few pieces. "Seira, would you burn this?"
01[20:30] <Seira> "An artifact wouldn't be so easily lost," Seira muses out loud, breathing a flame narrow enough to set the requested parchment ablaze. "And maybe a channeled spell in a blade that can strike into the sphere and discharged within would work better."
[20:32] <Alicia> "Lets not torch the place until we leave?" Alicia suggests, not keen on breathing smoke. "It's not something I really want to test, Seira. Not when the First Resort offers a far less risky option."
[20:32] <Kotono> The parchment burns, a stench of must, dust and and meat filling the air. As you walk along, you find the corridor to continue for quite some time. Walls covered with profane knowledge, coming to a door after a few minutes. It is a door with four skeletal arms shielding it, written in Abyssal carved into those arms, "Death comes eternal!"
[20:33] <Alicia> Is it magic?
[20:33] <Kotono> OOC: Alicia Strong magic.
[20:33] <Alicia> roll 1d20+23 spellcraft
06[20:33] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+23 spellcraft and gets 40." [1d20=17]
[20:35] <Alicia> "The magic will drain the life out of anything that tries to open the door," Alicia summarises, stepping back. "I don't believe Lagann would suffer from it."
06[20:37] * Seira places Lagann on the ground, within range of the door, and steps back to let him try it.
[20:38] <Kotono> Lagann pulls at the door! The hands reach out, but touch nothing as the door is pried open on it's own merits! Inside you see a room divided into six layers, each layer six feet tall. Each one has small bookshelves about, the middle layer full of scrolls in six scroll cases. The room radiates overwhelming magic all over, dazzling.
01[20:39] <Seira> "This would be their library?" Seira states rather needlessly.
[20:40] <Kotono> "It's likely a nest of knowledge that has no place in this world," Latha peers inside, "Of secrets best cast down into the deepest Pit."
[20:40] <Alicia> roll 1d20+23 spellcraft
06[20:40] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+23 spellcraft and gets 35." [1d20=12]
06[20:41] * Alicia chuckles slightly to herself. "Hold on, no one go in just yet," she holds up a hand.
01[20:41] <Seira> "How do you expect to fight them if you don't know their methods?" Seira asks Latha at that puzzling statement. "How can you hope to counter their vileness if you just throw it away?"
06[20:43] * Alicia casts a spell upon the room, subverting the evil summoning spell and turning it to something altogether more pleasant before she steps inside.
[20:43] <Alicia> OOC: Perfect Summons
[20:46] <Kotono> For a moment, dreadful things appear! They appear almost to be...balors! Balors with wings of bone and claws, heads of skulls! They roar, but the light around Alicia flares! Instead, three visions of utter perfection light up the room. The books hiss with pure white steam, darkness retreating. Dazzling, overwhelming light fills the room at each of these majestic figures. Each bears six wings, a vision of light and perfection. "We have been cal
[20:47] <Kotono> these majestic figures. Each bears six wings, a vision of light and perfection. "We have been called to this place...yet this place reeks of vile darkness!"
01[20:47] <Seira> "Help us burn it down?" Seira can't help but ask.
[20:48] <Kotono> Another speaks, flames of searing white playing around her face. "It shall be."
[20:49] <Alicia> "My apologies, exalted ones," Alicia bows her head respectfully. "The owners of this vile library sought to summon balors to defend it against interlopers such as ourselves, but I subverted their trap and you were called instead."
[20:49] <Kotono> The third turns to Alicia, "Very well. Stand aside - the evil in this cursed place must be purified in sacred fire and light."
[20:51] <Alicia> "That is what we were in the process of doing," Alicia therefore has no qualms in stepping back out of the library to make way for the solars.
01[20:51] <Seira> "Can you wait just a tiny moment with that, please?" Seira requests. "One of those books holds the curse that one of the Dark Six cast on Alicia before she slew him. We believe that to remove the curse, we should know its specifics, unless you could help direct us into a better direction?"
[20:52] <Kotono> Latha does the same, a deep bow as she does so. Antenora follows along. Two go out into the halls, the parchments bursting into white flame. The third turns to Alicia, offering a hand. "A curse? Come to me, celestial. It shall not stand."
06[20:53] * Alicia approaches as invited, taking the offered hand. "Glaciante Devarim cursed me such that any attempt I make to dispel magic will always fail. A remove curse spell didn't seem to have any impact on it," she volunteers.
[20:56] <Kotono> The words that come are of Celestial, so pure that your hearts throb with love. "Look not to the dark scrawlings of this blasphemy. I shall remove this curse myself. In the name of the Heralds of Holiness, I call on all that is just and right to break this curse!" What comes next is a pulse of raw power, of golden light passing through Alicia's body! OOC: The curse is gone and the -4 to your ability scores is restored.
01[20:57] <Seira> "Wow, that's great!" Seira exclaims at the lightshow. "I actually hate going through evil books that hate me right back, so this is pretty awesome! Thanks!"
06[20:57] * Alicia smiles in relief as she feels something inside her return to rightness once more. "You have my thanks - my name is Alicia Reynes and I am in your debt," she tells the solar so he can find her if he ever needs to collect.
[20:58] <Kotono> "Now then," Turning his gaze to the room ahead, "I shall purge this taint. There is no debt - the blasphemy in this place saddens my soul. It is my utmost honor to destroy it. Each of you, I thank you for this chance."  He turns towards the room of books and scrolls, aura flaring intensly bright.
01[20:59] <Seira> "Hey, feel free to come and visit us back home in Balmuria," Seira adds with a bright smile, as she tends to. One day a solar might even take her up on that offer and come.
[21:01] <Kotono> The being of light stops. "Balmuria, you said?" It turns, "Romiel has spoken of that city. Your name as well, Alicia Reynes, is familiar. Fortuitous. I am Zankamaiel. I am helping to prepare for the assault on fallen Duke Agares."
06[21:03] * Seira waves. "Seira, here. Give that ex-Duke hell, bad pun intended."
[21:03] <Alicia> "Oh?" Alicia brightens even more at that. "Well, we'll be working together soon. Hopefully we can resolve things with the Dark Six first, though - we're going to be heading to Androlynne after this, since apparently this group is the key to Pale Night's imprisonment of the eladrin children."
[21:03] <Alicia> Since these liches thrive on secrecy, Alicia has utterly no qualms at all about disseminating all their findings so they can be spread far and wide.
[21:06] <Kotono> "I understand." At that word, the library behind him explodes in holy fires, gold and white. "Until that time...be well." With a word of power, your words and fatigue vanish! OOC: MAss heal on all of you, CL 23.
[21:07] <Alicia> "Farewell, Zankamaiel," Alicia waves to the helpful solar, ready to go see what lies at the other end of this blasphemous corridor.
01[21:08] <Seira> "Since we're exchanging information, do you mind helping us one more time, Zankamaiel?" Seira wonders out loud. "We've come across some ancient, evil, sentient sphere of annihilation-like being. Any chance you'd know how we could deal with it?"
[21:08] <Kotono> roll 1d20+33
06[21:08] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+33 and gets 46." [1d20=13]
[21:10] <Kotono> "A Blackball?" Now the angel's expression is grave, "A rare calamity. They are spots of un-being on the cosmos, moving about through the Realms material and spiritual as they please. The only mercy is that they seldom stay in one place or realm longer than a few minutes. The realities themselves cannot bear to have them, they burn through and past them at whim."
[21:11] <Alicia> "So it might already be gone?" Alicia asks, glancing upwards. "But where to, then?"
01[21:11] <Seira> "Run away and keep it from the kids. Got it." Seira nods. "I'll be sure to thank you again for all you've done for us when we go kick the duke's ass."
[21:13] <Kotono> "To whatever realm chance takes it to. They have no pattern," The solar says, "We shall meet again then. Until that time..." With a flash of light, the celestial is gone.
[21:14] <Alicia> "Well, that was altogether productive," Alicia smiles as he departs. "I knew that spell was going to come in handy one day."
[21:15] <Kotono> Antenora smiles as she looks at all the burnt heresy, in the room and in the hall. "Superb. Shall we continue on below now?"
[21:16] <Alicia> "Lets see what we can find at the other end of the corridor first," Alicia suggests, starting off in that direction.
01[21:16] <Seira> "Wouldn't it be funny if it had the exact same setup?"
[21:17] <Kotono> You walk down the now denuded hall. All the parchments are gone. You walk past the hole, coming to the other end. Here an untouched door sits. It is plain metal, with a pull ring.
[21:17] <Alicia> Any magic?
06[21:18] * Seira looks for traps!
01[21:18] <Seira> OOC: 40 it is
[21:19] <Alicia> roll 1d20+25 spellcraft
06[21:19] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+25 spellcraft and gets 38." [1d20=13]
01[21:19] <Seira> "Don't pull the ring," Seira, master of the obvious that she is, states and moves back.
[21:20] <Alicia> "Get Lagann to open it from a distance?" Alicia suggests, moving back. It's a metal door, after all.
01[21:22] <Seira> "I've actually been meaning to practice my skills at disarming things from a distance," Seira returns, withdrawing to thirty feet away from the door before attempting to disable the trap!
01[21:22] <Seira> roll 1d20+29 (dc goes up by 5)
06[21:22] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+29 (dc goes up by 5) and gets 32." [1d20=3]
[21:22] <Kotono> Seira works hard, the trap on the door surprisingly easy to disarm!
[21:23] <Alicia> "Always good to stay in practice," Alicia nods agreeably.
01[21:23] <Seira> Gleeful at her success, Seira checks the doorway for further traps! If ancient gnomes could do it, so would ancient liches.
01[21:23] <Seira> OOC: Another 40
06[21:24] * Seira gets Lagann to open the door, nodding to herself.
[21:24] <Kotono> Ahead is a room lined with shiny silver. Most of it is a large circular pool of mercury or strangely silver water, perhaps, with a pair of metal plates at the front of it. Each one has a space to put a human sized hand in.
[21:25] <Alicia> Any magic?
06[21:26] * Seira checks for horrible, evil auras.
[21:28] <Kotono> No evil, though it radiates moderate divination.
[21:28] <Kotono> Antenora peers in, "Silver? Different." She takes a few steps in, looking about. "Does any of this mean anything to either of you?"
01[21:30] <Seira> "I thought of that ingot Alicia's got, but that's about it. Just because they're evil doesn't mean the liches can't be practical, right?"
[21:31] <Alicia> roll 1d20+25 spellcraft
06[21:31] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+25 spellcraft and gets 40." [1d20=15]
[21:31] <Alicia> roll 1d20+15 arcana
06[21:31] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+15 arcana and gets 18." [1d20=3]
[21:32] <Alicia> "It's some sort of divination pool - I think it's for predicting future events. Although clearly it's less than infallible, given what happened to the resident lich..." Alicia explains.
[21:32] <Kotono> "Like that forest of time you visited?" Antenora kneels next to the pool, peering down into it.
[21:33] <Kotono> "I remember that...wasn't it a mirror that showed our future selves, potentially?" Amaryl speaks up, "The same sort of magic?"
01[21:33] <Seira> "By observing the future, you interact with it and alter it," Seira reasons. "So it can't be useful as more than a guideline, really. Still, can't hurt to have a look, right?" And she does.
[21:34] <Kotono> Seira looks down in the pool - but nothing happens. It's simply a silvery pool of liquid to her eyes.
[21:34] <Kotono> Looking sidelong at Alicia and Seira, "If you wish to try it, how to you activate it then? The hand-plates on the ground?"
06[21:34] * Alicia isn't sure and defers to Seira's wisdom on activating unknown magic items.
03[21:35] * Mystia is now known as Mystia_LennierBuiltMyHotrod
01[21:35] <Seira> roll 1d20+26 mirror, mirror on the wall....
06[21:35] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+26 mirror, mirror on the wall.... and gets 29." [1d20=3]
01[21:37] <Seira> "I think it was designed for--" Pausing, Seira steps to one of the metal plates. "Amaryl, think you can touch the other one? Let's see the future together!"
[21:37] <Kotono> Amaryl does so and advances, the two placing hands down! OOC: Both of you roll concentration checks?
01[21:37] <Seira> roll 1d20+6
06[21:38] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+6 and gets 20." [1d20=14]
01[21:39] <Seira> OOC: Amaryl would take 10 for 24, and +2 for me for 22
[21:39] <Kotono> roll 1d100
06[21:39] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d100 and gets 23." [1d100=23]
[21:40] <Kotono> The mirror you see a beautiful, sunwarmed day. Seira and Amaryl watch Balmuria from the windows of their room, sunlight spilling in. The hold hands and watch, quietly living another peaceful day. Such can be seen in the silvery pool, bubbling with the images.
[21:40] <Kotono> *pool
06[21:41] * Seira observes, in case the images changes further, a smile coming on her face.
[21:41] <Kotono> "Pleasant. Better than I can say of most here." Antenora looks down, "Perhaps we an try it as well?" Antenora look sto Latha and Alicia. "Even if it's the mundane, seeing a future may prove insightful."
[21:41] <Kotono> The images stay that way, showing the warm day. Amaryl smiles as well, watching. After about twenty seconds, the images fade away, the pool returning to normal.
01[21:42] <Seira> "Wanna give it a try with me, Alicia?" Seira offers.
[21:43] <Alicia> "I prefer the future to remain unknown until I get there," Alicia shakes her head. Those mirrors in the Quarut's museum even got it right about her, which is somewhat eerie when she thinks about it. So she prefers not to.
03[21:44] * Nikkolai (~chatzilla@76.177.147.50) has joined #dunes
06[21:44] * Seira pouts. "Antenora? You were eager to try it, at least!"
03[21:44] * Nikkolai is now known as Zephyrus
[21:44] <Kotono> "I'll try it, if you please," Antenora volunteers, "I admit, I find the future fascinating these days. Hope is a wonderful thing." Amaryl steps aside to let Antenora have the other hand slot.
[21:45] <Kotono> OOC: Both of you make concentration checks?
01[21:46] <Seira> roll 1d20+8
06[21:46] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+8 and gets 19." [1d20=11]
[21:46] <Alicia> roll 1d20+17
06[21:46] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+17 and gets 24." [1d20=7]
[21:46] <Kotono> roll 1d100
06[21:46] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d100 and gets 56." [1d100=56]
[21:47] <Kotono> Heat is all around Seira and Antenora. The fire caves of Mihail are here, a pool of pure molten lava. The two women are unclad, Seira murmuring magic before the two dive in, swimming into the fiery depths. They chatter idly as they do, talking away.
[21:47] <Kotono> "Innocent enough," Antenora peers down, "Though doing this has been suspended by circumstance."
01[21:48] <Seira> "Not as much as you'd think," Seira comments. "All I need is one spell to allow us to breathe down there, and we should be reasonably safe even without the extra precautions.. How long can it possibly take?"
[21:49] <Kotono> "Depends on how deep and complex the lava depths are," Antenora watches as the image fades away.
06[21:50] * Seira shrugs, and glances at Latha. "Wanna see if we're taking a completely innocent bath together some time in the future?"
[21:50] <Kotono> Latha suppresses a slightly amused chuckle, chuckling into her hand. "I have no wish to treat with the magic here, innocent or no."
[21:51] <Kotono> "If that's it then," Antenora says, "Let's see the next level and what bounced back the spellfire?"
01[21:51] <Seira> Mildly disappointed, Seira nods, stepping away from the device, unless Amaryl wants to rope Antenora into trying it again.
06[21:51] * Alicia nods, not having any desire to destroy this particular magical artifice since it seems so inoffensive.
01[21:52] <Seira> "I do wonder just what they were really using it for," Seira mutters to herself. "Surely not with each other...."
[21:52] <Kotono> "
[21:53] <Alicia> "Perhaps it was an experiment that didn't work out as they hoped?" Alicia muses as they head back to the burrowed tunnel.
[21:53] <Kotono> "A curiosity," Latha shrugs as the party goes back. Descending down another 60f eet, they come to the bottom. The ground here is slightly charred but nothing else. Everything here is on the walls - painting of myraid undead marching ahead, marching ahead and dragging the dying, dead and living with them. Farther ahead, a pure blackness pollutes everything, blocking vision.
[21:55] <Alicia> "Can you see through this darkness, Antenora?" Alicia asks the reformed baatezu.
[21:56] <Kotono> "No." Antenora squints and rubs her eyes, blinking several times. "I can't see anything at all. She takes af ew steps forward, "No, it's just nothing at all. I can't see into it."
06[21:56] * Alicia tries casting Daylight to see if it can rival the darkness. Be nice if the spell was actually good for something.
[21:57] <Kotono> The light of the day sun fades at the darkness, failing to illuminate it.
06[21:57] * Seira draws a small dagger and hands it over to Lagann to manipulate into the darkness and through it, in order to see whether his control over it and ability to detect it remains.
[21:58] <Kotono> Lagann takes the dagger into the darkness! Lagann can sense there is a stairway in the center here, going straight down.
[21:58] <Alicia> roll 1d20+25 spellcraft, it's clearly magic
06[21:58] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+25 spellcraft, it's clearly magic and gets 35." [1d20=10]
01[22:00] <Seira> "Last time I saw something like this was in that nasty temple, right above the elevator to the shadow dragon," Seira mutters. "Seems like there's a way down, too, a bit into the darkness."
[22:01] <Alicia> "Unfortunately it would sap away at your life force, just like being on the negative energy plane," Alicia explains. "We can't pass it without protections, and it's too strong for antimagic to block out. I could put my newly rediscovered dispelling skills to use on it, though." And she attempts just that.
[22:01] <Alicia> roll 1d20+19
06[22:01] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+19 and gets 28." [1d20=9]
[22:03] <Kotono> The magic doesnot break to Alicia's power.
01[22:03] <Seira> "It just so happens I might have the protections necessary," Seira mentions. "I could check it out briefly, and if need be, teleport right back to the rest of you."
[22:04] <Alicia> "Alright," Alicia nods, deflating and not bothering to waste more spells. "Hopefully it won't take you out of message range, so keep us posted?"
[22:05] <Kotono> Thus Seira heads into the oblivion! She can't see anything once she steps in, utterly blind.
01[22:05] <Seira> "If it takes me out of telepathy range, then we just might have a bigger problem on our hands," Seira responds with a snort, tentatively stepping into the darkness and using Lagann to navigate over to the stairway.
[22:07] <Kotono> Using Lagann, Seira reaches thes tairway! But...she just can't advance. Her body freezes solid, refusing to obey her commands.
06[22:08] * Seira tries to command it to retreat.
[22:08] <Kotono> Seira finds her legs working, retreating away from the stairway.
06[22:09] * Seira leaves the zone of powerful magic with a scowl on her face. "Either it managed to override my mental commands to stop me from going down the stairway," she reports, "or just did it the old-fashioned way. Either way, I had no prayer of resisting, and the change came very suddenly."
06[22:10] * Alicia slips off a silver ring from her hand. "This should help with that," she offers it to Seira, also slipping off the black headband from her brow. "This'll also let you see despite the darkness."
[22:10] <Alicia> OOC: iron ring, actually
06[22:11] * Seira nods, and also requests the ring of teleport from Amaryl, so that she might have an escape route if her body freezes outright, but she is still able to marshall her magic. "Another try, then!"
[22:12] <Kotono> Thus Seira advances in! The blindsight lets her see - the stairway goes down and down and down into oblivion. Yet on reaching the stair...Seira simply can't move. Her body refuses to move forward, utterly frozen in place. As she stands there...she hears something. Crying. Thesound of something crying.
06[22:13] * Seira tries to see if there's anything the blindfold helps her sense, or if Lagann is getting a clearer reading from their perspective. She doesn't dawdle, however, returning to regroup once more.
01[22:14] <Seira> "My only other guess is that something here, perhaps that skull orb, would serve as the key, but I don't much feel like testing that theory right now," she elaborates upon return.
[22:15] <Kotono> "It could be, or perhaps..." Latha says, "Bleak Rendor can't be entered as long as the eladrin children are captive?"
[22:16] <Alicia> "Perhaps it leads to a Gate there?" Alicia finishes the thought. "Well, we'll just have to leave it for now. Back upstairs?"
06[22:17] * Seira finishes returning her borrowed accessories, and nods. "I figure it's been more than enough."
[22:18] <Kotono> The party returns to the black velvet room without incident. The air is quiet and stagnant now.
[22:19] <Alicia> Deciding it best to wait a bit in case the blackball has lingered, Alicia goes to open the door on the right-hand side of the room.
01[22:20] <Seira> OOC: I'll take ten on searching for traps for every single entrance/doorway/room for the score of 40, please

[Corwin]

[20:08] <Catgirl_Ko_Army> * Seira tries to see if there's anything the blindfold helps her sense, or if Lagann is getting a clearer reading from their perspective. She doesn't dawdle, however, returning to regroup once more.
[20:08] <Catgirl_Ko_Army> <Seira> "My only other guess is that something here, perhaps that skull orb, would serve as the key, but I don't much feel like testing that theory right now," she elaborates upon return.
[20:08] <Catgirl_Ko_Army> > "It could be, or perhaps..." Latha says, "Bleak Rendor can't be entered as long as the eladrin children are captive?"
[20:08] <Catgirl_Ko_Army> <Alicia> "Perhaps it leads to a Gate there?" Alicia finishes the thought. "Well, we'll just have to leave it for now. Back upstairs?"
[20:08] <Catgirl_Ko_Army> * Seira finishes returning her borrowed accessories, and nods. "I figure it's been more than enough."
[20:08] <Catgirl_Ko_Army> > The party returns to the black velvet room without incident. The air is quiet and stagnant now.
[20:08] <Catgirl_Ko_Army> <Alicia> Deciding it best to wait a bit in case the blackball has lingered, Alicia goes to open the door on the right-hand side of the room.
[20:08] <Catgirl_Ko_Army> <Seira> OOC: I'll take ten on searching for traps for every single entrance/doorway/room for the score of 40, please
03[20:09] * Yomi is now known as Seira
03[20:09] * ChanServ sets mode: +o Seira
03[20:13] * Catgirl_Ko_Army is now known as Kotono
03[20:21] * Ebiris is now known as Alicia
[20:21] <Kotono> The door is not trapped, Seira finds. Alicia opens the doorway! The room ahead is full of large, human size measuring scales, scaled of silver and brass and pitted iron. The scales are filled with chunks of rotted meat, each one measuring in the balance against each other. Arms, legs, torsos, chests, heads, and other parts unidentifable of a dozen skin colors and shades are all about in the scales.
06[20:22] * Alicia looks faintly sickened at the implications of this room, not particularly eager to explore it further if there's no passageways beyond it. "Lets just burn everything?" she suggests.
01[20:23] <Seira> "This can only be cleansed with fire," Seira agrees, her face twisting.
[20:23] <Kotono> "Let's," Latha says, as a jet of flame from the heavens strikes one of the scales. Acrid smoke bunrs immediately, flames spreading. "Seira, if you would help?"
06[20:24] * Seira is already burning down anything to the left of the entrance with her breath.
[20:25] <Kotono> Flames sweep over the scales and meat! The stetch spreads rapidly, a terrible odor that seems to assail your senses! OOC: Make fort saves, everyone.
[20:25] <Alicia> roll 1d20+30 Alicia
06[20:25] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+30 Alicia and gets 31." [1d20=1]
[20:25] <Alicia> roll 1d20+32 Anty
06[20:25] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+32 Anty and gets 48." [1d20=16]
01[20:25] <Seira> roll 1d20+19 A
06[20:25] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+19 A and gets 32." [1d20=13]
01[20:26] <Seira> roll 1d20+20
06[20:26] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+20 and gets 22." [1d20=2]
[20:26] <Alicia> roll 1d20+22 Latha
06[20:26] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+22 Latha and gets 31." [1d20=9]
[20:26] <Kotono> OOC: Carry on.
06[20:27] * Alicia backs off a bit at the stench. At least it's not as bad as downstairs in the half-mile long chamber of cadavers, but it's a small mercy.
06[20:28] * Seira staggers back from the room, truly sickened.
[20:28] <Kotono> Latha closes the door, a hand over her arm, "Filth," she coughs several times, "Let us leave it to burn away in it's own offal."
[20:29] <Alicia> "Lets see if the blackball has gone?" Alicia suggests, moving to fly over the passage formerly spanned by a corridor of force with a golem at the bottom.
[20:30] <Kotono> Thus you return to the six doored circle. Here there is no Blackball or any signs of it - just quiet emptiness like it was before you saw the blackball.
01[20:30] <Seira> "I just can't get over people existing, who consciously chose to commit such acts," Seira states, shaking her head. "Every time we see another example of their work... it's just...."
[20:31] <Kotono> "It's why we live," Latha looks about, hand on her mace as she does so. "Astral Devas are created to defeat these evils and protect existance from these abominations of thought, mind and deed."
01[20:32] <Seira> "But how can it happen?" Seira insists, stuck on that same thought. "Were they born rotten? What... what can possibly make a person turn out like this?"
[20:32] <Kotono> "When you only care about yourself, only care for your power and profit, what's everything else?" Antenora's armored shoulders shrug, "Evil lacks the slightlest compassion for others. If you do that, killing a dozen to youraims, it's merely worthless pawns being lost for your benefit."
[20:34] <Kotono> "A question for the sages," Latha's own smile becomes gentle, going over to Seira. "Demons, devils, yugloths are 'born' evil. But mortals..." She shakes he head, "Some by circumstances, some by choice. Mortals have the choice to do this. Everyone has the choice to take these paths. Why...as to why, the wisdom of it is beyond me."
01[20:35] <Seira> "I don't know if we can really guide people unless we understand," Seira says sadly.
[20:35] <Alicia> One minute it's freezing here the next it's boiling? So annoying. Alicia nods to Seira as she wipes her brow. "They're insane. They cut themselves off from the real world in live out their arrogant power fantasies, shuttering himself off from the consequences. Fiends are born from such minds."
06[20:36] * Seira nods slowly, acknowledging Alicia's words and weighing them.
06[20:37] * Alicia goes to open the next door to the left of the one they found the blackball in.
[20:39] <Kotono> "I don't know about other evils, but I was completely sane when I was a devil. That made it far worse." Antenora goes to another door, studying it briefly, then deferring to Alicia. Seira checks this door over, finding no trap on it. Thus the door opens...inside, you see a metal table. It is stained dark all over, a pentagram drawn in the center of it. PAst that is another door, this one carved of long leg bones and sinews, wrapped together in
[20:39] <Kotono> PAst that is another door, this one carved of long leg bones and sinews, wrapped together in a mold of steel.
06[20:41] * Alicia opens her mouth to say something before pausing, bracing her hand against the doorframe. "I feel sick..." she suddenly announces woozily.
01[20:42] <Seira> "You too?" Seira asks, closing her eyes altogether to stave off the vertigo and lowering herself to the ground as best she can manage. "Magic?"
[20:42] <Kotono> "Alicia?" Antenora hurries to her side, supporting her other side with her body, "What's wrong?" Even as she does so, she murmurs, "Let me sooth it."
[20:43] <Kotono> OOC: Could you have Antenora roll a CL check on cure disease?
[20:43] <Alicia> "Fever," Alicia gasps, throat raw. "Dizzy..."
[20:43] <Alicia> roll 1d20+16
06[20:43] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+16 and gets 27." [1d20=11]
[20:43] <Kotono> Latha hurries over to Seira as well, kneeling next to her. "I feel fine," she glances back to Alicia, "Let me try this and see if it's pestilence. LAthander only knows what lurks here."
[20:43] <Kotono> OOC: Make one for Latha as well.
[20:44] <Alicia> roll 1d20+17 words of creationing it up
06[20:44] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+17 words of creationing it up and gets 21." [1d20=4]
[20:44] <Alicia> roll 1d4
06[20:44] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d4 and gets 1." [1d4=1]
[20:45] <Kotono> The feverish pain leaves Alicia...but continues to burn in Seira. Her vision begins to tint dead white, everything around her cold as ice. But her body burns like an inferno! OOC: Another point of wisdom and charisma damage, Seira.
[20:46] <Alicia> "Oooh... That's better," Alicia blinks away the blurriness in her vision, straightening up. "Thank you, Antenora."
[20:46] <Kotono> "Seira!" Amaryl eeps, coming behind her, kneeling down behind her back. "Do you feel better now?"
[20:47] <Kotono> Antenora sighs in relief, "Good." Helping Alicia straighten herself, "Seira?"
01[20:47] <Seira> "Dying here," Seira mutters, slamming her head against the ground woozily.
[20:48] <Kotono> "Antenora, with me!" Latha calls, "Mine seems to have failed!" Antenora nods, the two going to hold and touch Seira! OOC: MAke CL checks for both of them, please?
[20:48] <Alicia> roll 1d20+17 words of creation, it's personal for Latha
06[20:48] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+17 words of creation, it's personal for Latha and gets 30." [1d20=13]
[20:48] <Alicia> roll 1d4
06[20:48] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d4 and gets 1." [1d4=1]
[20:48] <Kotono> The freezing, burning agony leaves Seira. Her vision returns to color, her temperature returning to normal.
01[20:49] <Seira> "Death averted," Seira reports, gulping in deep breaths. "Thanks, guys."
[20:50] <Kotono> Amaryl hugs Seira from behind, "Gave me a scare there. I don't think both of us need to see Waukeen today."
[20:50] <Kotono> As she stands up, "Was it the wounds we suffered? The exposures to the energies here? This room? The foul smoke?" Latha considers, "Still, shall we press on while we can?"
[20:51] <Alicia> "I wonder if we breathed something bad in from all that burnt flesh?" Alicia muses, before narrowing her eyes, "But a mundane sickness wouldn't resist magical healing... By Mystra these liches are obnoxious."
[20:52] <Alicia> "I started feeling bad just after we burnt that room, but I didn't think it severe till just now when it nearly bowled me over," she then tells Latha.
[20:52] <Kotono> "Mystra help me, I hope in a few thousand years I've devised the same amount of goodness as these liches have vileness," Antenora steps into the room, glancing at the metal table. "Alicia, can you make any sense of anything in here?"
[20:52] <Kotono> "Quite possible." Latha says, "If you begin to feel that way again, speak up immediately."
01[20:52] <Seira> "I like the heat, so I didn't think much of it at the time," Seira says, nodding to Latha. "Sure thing."
[20:53] <Alicia> "I will," Alicia promises, moving into this new room and checking it over for magic.
[20:54] <Alicia> roll 1d20+25 spellcraft
06[20:54] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+25 spellcraft and gets 28." [1d20=3]
[20:57] <Alicia> "There's some minor necromantic magic attached to that pentagram," Alicia points it out, walking around it. "I think it would kill a very sick person within, but it's not dangerous to a healthy person. Might as well destroy it, anyway, though." She draws Hell Striker and proceeds to severely deface the pentagram, carving through the floor like a hot knife through butter.
[20:58] <Kotono> The pentagram is thus impaled, it's symbols destroyed.
01[20:58] <Seira> "What's the purpose of it?"
[20:58] <Kotono> The ground shakes! Abruptly, the entire floor quivers! It's a faint shaking at first, then much much stronger, tossing you about wobbling to keep your balance!  OOC: Balance checks, all.
[20:59] <Alicia> roll 1d20+5 Alicia
06[20:59] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+5 Alicia and gets 6." [1d20=1]
[20:59] <Alicia> roll 1d20+4 Latha
06[20:59] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+4 Latha and gets 5." [1d20=1]
01[20:59] <Seira> roll 1d20+15
06[20:59] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+15 and gets 18." [1d20=3]
[20:59] <Alicia> roll 1d20+5 Anty
06[20:59] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+5 Anty and gets 7." [1d20=2]
01[21:00] <Seira> roll 1d20+6 A
06[21:00] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+6 A and gets 7." [1d20=1]
[21:00] <Kotono> roll 1d6 damage to all
06[21:00] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d6 damage to all and gets 4." [1d6=4]
[21:01] <Kotono> The shaking sends the party falling and bouncing around, like little gnats on the back of a giant! The shaking continues, the entire group prone as it goes on! OOC: You're all prone and it's obviously going to be tough getting up. Go ahead.
[21:01] <Kotono> OOC: Except Seira, sorry, saw the 3 and forgot you actually have ranks!
06[21:02] * Seira uses her ability to remain steady in the face of shaking rooms to help Amaryl to her feet and keep her on them!
[21:02] <Kotono> OOC: Amaryl can make a second balance check with a +5 bonus.
[21:02] <Alicia> "That wasn't me!" Alicia insists, having seen no magic to indicate the area's structural stability was tied to that piddly little bit of necromancy. Bracing Hell Striker into the floor to act as a lever, she tries to haul herself back up to her feet. If it doesn't stop in a few seconds they may want to leave...
[21:03] <Kotono> Latha and Antenora are both prone, struggling to get up! OOC: Balance checks, you three.
01[21:03] <Seira> roll 1d20+14 A, actually miscalculated by 3 before
06[21:03] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+14 A, actually miscalculated by 3 before and gets 28." [1d20=14]
[21:04] <Alicia> roll 1d20+5 Alicia
06[21:04] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+5 Alicia and gets 7." [1d20=2]
[21:04] <Alicia> roll 1d20+5 Anty
06[21:04] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+5 Anty and gets 21." [1d20=16]
[21:04] <Alicia> roll 1d20+4 Latha
06[21:04] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+4 Latha and gets 9." [1d20=5]
[21:04] <Kotono> Antenora is able to get up as well, while Alicia and Latha are both being tossed around, up and down, slamming into the ground!
[21:05] <Kotono> roll 1d6 damage you two (more)
06[21:05] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d6 damage you two (more) and gets 5." [1d6=5]
[21:05] <Kotono> As Antenora leans on her spear and wobbles, the shaking intensifies! It's as if the earht itself is revolting! Creeping into th eroom, you can see a bleak mist beginning to arrive!
01[21:05] <Seira> "Oh come ON!" Seira exclaims at the shoddy construction, and leaves Amaryl by the doorway for extra balance, returning to aid Alicia.
[21:05] <Alicia> Does the mist look like the same mist they saw after round one with Melancton?
[21:06] <Kotono> OOC: No.
[21:06] <Kotono> Antenora goes to help Latha at the same time! OOC: Balance checks you two, +5.

[21:07] <Kotono> But Alicia and Latha are still prone, as the shaking gets worst! The mist gushes into the room now, starting to obscure your vision! You feel a crackling cold lick at you!
[21:08] <Kotono> "Alicia, get up," Antenora calls, "Below us, wraiths are coming I think!"
01[21:08] <Seira> "This is ridiculous!" Seira exclaims. "Ignore the stupid mist for a bit and try to get up one more time?"
[21:09] <Alicia> "If the ground would just stop moving!" Alicia grumbles as she struggles some more to haul herself upright, spreading her wings to balance on air rather than treacherous floor.
[21:09] <Kotono> OOC: Checks +5 again, yout wo.

[21:12] <Kotono> OOC: Alicia.
06[21:13] * Alicia waits for the first wraith to appear, wondering if this shaking is ever going to end. Or if the whole place will collapse and entomb them. One of the two.
[21:13] <Kotono> A wraith bursts from the floor, lunging up for Amaryl! OOC: Alicia, you can act just before it if you like.

[21:21] <Kotono> Seira is caught right on the throat! The wraith nearly rips her vocal cords out, but Seira takes a deep breath and shoves it off her ,narrowly averting disaster! OOC:  Seira and then Lagann.
06[21:24] * Seira waits on Lagann to distract the wraith attempting to gouge out her throat, and while he stabs what passes for its back with the Sun Blade, she breathes fire at it, taking a step back and drawing the Resort.

[21:33] <Kotono> .
01[21:34] <Seira> Amaryl would love to wait and have a better target, but opts to try and shoot the wraith that has yet to attack Seira, as Latha and Alicia would have no problem dealing with the other undead once Antenora's done her part.

[21:45] <Alicia> Alicia scoots over to support Latha, hopefully finishing off her bound target with a single strike!
[21:45] <Alicia> roll 1d20+24 -6pa
06[21:45] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+24 -6pa and gets 42." [1d20=18]
[21:45] <Alicia> roll 1d20+24 -6pa crit check
06[21:45] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+24 -6pa crit check and gets 31." [1d20=7]
[21:45] <Alicia> roll 4d4+58+2d6+1d6+1d8
06[21:45] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 4d4+58+2d6+1d6+1d8 and gets 94." [4d4=3, 3, 4, 4][2d6=3, 6][1d6=5][1d8=8]
03[21:46] * Kotono changes topic to 'Alicia(25)>Amaryl(19)>Wraith 3(18)>Seira(17)>Lagann(6)>Antenora(4)>Latha'
[21:46] <Kotono> The wraith is vaporized again, Alicia's blade sending it to final rest! OOC: Amaryl.
01[21:46] <Seira> Just one last chance before Seira is threatened again!
01[21:46] <Seira> roll 4#1d20+19
06[21:46] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 4#1d20+19 and gets 137." [4#1d20+19 = 34, 35, 33, 35]
01[21:46] <Seira> roll 2#1d20+14
06[21:46] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 2#1d20+14 and gets 49." [2#1d20+14 = 23, 26]
01[21:46] <Seira> roll 5#1d100
06[21:46] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 5#1d100 and gets 330." [5#1d100 = 68, 18, 64, 87, 93]
01[21:47] <Seira> And four of the arrows make their way all the way through!
01[21:47] <Seira> roll 4#1d8+6+1d6+1d6
06[21:47] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 4#1d8+6+1d6+1d6 and gets 70." [4#1d8+6+1d6+1d6 = 22, 14, 22, 12]
[21:47] <Kotono> Under that assault, the wraith withers but barely survives, lunging for Seira again! OOC: Immediates?
01[21:47] <Seira> OOC: Deflect, again
[21:47] <Kotono> roll 1d20+15
06[21:47] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+15 and gets 31." [1d20=16]
[21:47] <Kotono> roll 2d6 and fort
06[21:47] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 2d6 and fort and gets 6." [2d6=3, 3]
01[21:48] <Seira> roll 1d20+20
06[21:48] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+20 and gets 34." [1d20=14]
[21:48] <Kotono> Once again, Seira fends off the wraith with her claws, holding it back! OOC: Seira.
06[21:49] * Seira waits for Antenora to pitch in, while Lagann has no such compunctions, hoping to finish the wraith off as its blade lunges forward recklessly!
01[21:49] <Seira> roll 1d20+24
06[21:49] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+24 and gets 34." [1d20=10]
01[21:49] <Seira> roll 1d20+19
06[21:49] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+19 and gets 38." [1d20=19]
01[21:49] <Seira> roll 1d20+14
06[21:49] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+14 and gets 21." [1d20=7]
01[21:49] <Seira> roll 1d20+19 crit?
06[21:49] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+19 crit? and gets 23." [1d20=4]
01[21:49] <Seira> roll 3d10+12
06[21:49] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 3d10+12 and gets 34." [3d10=8, 9, 5]
01[21:49] <Seira> OOC: Sorry, minus 9
[21:49] <Kotono> With those final stabs of sunlight, the wraith breaks apart into nothingness! OOC: Free act after this roll.
[21:50] <Kotono> OOC: No worries, itw as nearly dead anyway.
[21:50] <Alicia> Latha and Antenora both promptly turn their attention to dispelling the magical cold mist!
[21:50] <Alicia> roll 1d20+10
06[21:50] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+10 and gets 14." [1d20=4]
[21:50] <Alicia> roll 1d20+10
06[21:50] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+10 and gets 21." [1d20=11]
06[21:50] * Seira takes off the ground, flying over to the spot she had left Amaryl at.
[21:50] <Kotono> The room continues to shake as the mist envelops everything, not dispelling at all! (More)
[21:51] <Kotono> roll 12d6 cold and 1 dex damage
06[21:51] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 12d6 cold and 1 dex damage and gets 33." [12d6=6, 4, 1, 4, 2, 1, 2, 5, 2, 2, 3, 1]
[21:51] <Kotono> The freezing cold leaves ice over everything, your limbs slowing and growing numb under the assault! Antenora shivers, "Starting ot feel it too?"
[21:51] <Alicia> Alicia also tries to dispel it with her greater magic! "It's getting worse every second!"
[21:51] <Alicia> roll 1d20+19
06[21:51] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+19 and gets 37." [1d20=18]
[21:52] <Kotono> But the mist resists even this, not bowing or breaking to Alicia's words of power, as Seira flies over to Amaryl, as the room shakes and twitches!
06[21:53] * Seira focuses on helping Amaryl leave the room and its deathtrap, intending to return afterwards for the others if the problem persists. "Forget about the mist and let's just leave for now!" she calls over.
[21:53] <Alicia> "Latha, take us somewhere nice," Alicia agrees, going to convene by the deva and taking her hand, holding her other out for someone else to take so they can form a circle.
[21:55] <Alicia> roll 1d20+15 sure why not
06[21:55] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d20+15 sure why not and gets 32." [1d20=17]
01[21:55] <Seira> roll 1d20+26
06[21:55] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d20+26 and gets 30." [1d20=4]
[21:56] <Kotono> Antenora flies over, taking Latha's hand, "Retreatin gthen?" she nods, "All together!"
06[21:57] * Seira alters her course at that, heading towards the others as well with Amaryl in tow. "Unless we want to use dimension door again. Either way, let's leave."
[21:57] <Alicia> "The whole place is shaking apart, we should leave altogether," Alicia supports a temporary full retreat.
[21:58] <Kotono> With that, Latha calls on the Planes themselves to take them! In a flash, you stand hip deep in wine-dark waters. Above you, a glorious mountain rises, higher than you can see. Light sheds from it, illuminating your souls! Flocks of Lantern Archon fly and play in the air above and above and above.
[21:59] <Kotono> "Ah." Antenora sighs in deep, long relief. "Should we return to Balmuria now, or rest a time here an consider what to do next?"
01[21:59] <Seira> "Nice call," Seira congratulates the deva, before turning towards Alicia. "You really think the entire place will be destroyed? It had that gate we couldn't come through, and the throne room. Would they really build something that collapses on itself like that?"
[22:01] <Alicia> "Ahh, this is nicer," Alicia smiles, splashing a bit in the warm water and sloughing off the frost that had gathered on her form. "Why don't we see if we can find someone to heal our undead-inflicted ailments before heading back to see if the shaking has stopped?"
[22:01] <Alicia> "I don't know, Seira - the shaking certainly wasn't natural, since an earthquake would have made it collapse and crushed us within seconds," she extrapolates from her experience with spellfiring structurally unsound caverns.
01[22:03] <Seira> "I don't really think it's because of that pentagram being destroyed, either," Seira adds, trailing a hand through the waters slowly. "But maybe it was something-- Antenora, was there a sentience, a mind behind the mist?"
[22:05] <Kotono> "Not that I felt. For my two copper, I suspect it was simply a counter attack from the Dark Six. We took the base, but they weren't going to let us keep it easily." Washing herself as well in the warm, holy waters, "But we did damage, looted it and defeated Devarim. It's a good bit of progress."
01[22:05] <Seira> "We didn't burn it all down to the ground, either," Seira grumbles. "It's not quite a full victory without leaving the place utterly in ruins."
[22:06] <Alicia> "The shaking may have been building up to ruining it utterly to deny us any further benefit from going over their belongings," Alicia points out, starting to wade towards the beach. "We'll return later and see if there's anything left to see?"
[22:06] <Kotono> "I can get us aid to heal our afflictions," Latha begins to fly just over the water and forward, "From there, we can decide on our next move?"

[Corwin]

[20:07] <Kotono> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[20:08] <Kotono> The Seven Heavens of Celestia are peaceful and restorative. Latha is able to lead you to friends to get healed, this taking two hours. Once done, Latha transports the party back to the Prime Material!
[20:08] <Kotono> roll 5d100
[20:08] <Kotono> roll 1d9
06[20:08] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 5d100 and gets 139." [5d100=8, 11, 42, 70, 8]
06[20:08] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d9 and gets 7." [1d9=7]
[20:09] <Kotono> You appear in mountains, in a jagged cleft in the rocky ground! Around you, spots of electric blue light up the faint sunlight that reaches here. Shocker Lizards crawl about, voltage traveling between them.
[20:09] <Alicia> "Hmm. I suppose it's not all desolate wasteland after all," Alicia remarks, pointing out the ubiquitous lizards. "I suppose if anything can thrive in the worst of climates it would be those."
[20:10] <Kotono> "Like cockroaches," Antenora has her spear in hand, "If you would, before we have to eliminate them?"
01[20:10] <Seira> "I was just about to say magical cockroaches," Seira agrees, smiling at Antenora.
[20:11] <Alicia> "Right," Alicia nods, recalling her image of the room with all the doors that was half ravaged by spellfire when she sent the golem plummetting. "It's not the best mental image but I'll do my best," she promises, teleporting the group.
[20:11] <Alicia> roll 1d100 seen once
06[20:11] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d100 seen once and gets 33." [1d100=33]
[20:13] <Kotono> Alicia calls on the words of magic...but nothing happens! Around you, more electricity crackles, shocker lizards staring at the party!
01[20:13] <Seira> "Want to try for a more familiar location and aim for the shore by the original entrance?"
[20:14] <Kotono> "Something, rather fast," Amaryl shrinks back from a crackle of lightning.
[20:14] <Alicia> "That's odd... alright, I'll give it a shot," Alicia nods, trying that instead.
[20:14] <Alicia> roll 1d100
06[20:14] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d100 and gets 60." [1d100=60]
[20:15] <Kotono> The shoreline is bitterly cold as you stand on it. The wastelands behind you stretch on, the ocean waters ahead lapping against the half frozen beach.
[20:17] <Alicia> "Time to get wet again?" Alicia concludes, resisting the urge to sigh as she starts wading into the water.
06[20:17] * Seira nods, following her in.
[20:19] <Kotono> Thus the party takes to the water again! As you swim down, you find the water bitterly cold, small chunks of ice floating about as you descend.
[20:20] <Alicia> "It was cold but not that cold before... do you think maybe the freezing fog leaked through the portals?" Alicia asks as they swim downwards.
01[20:20] <Seira> "They might've destroyed the entire base," Seira suggests. "If they can't have it, no one can?"
[20:22] <Kotono> "If they did that, I hope it means we've shaken them," Latha whispers as they continue to swim into the frozen depths. Coming to the bottom, you find the sea floor nothing but a thick sheet of rock and ice. The platform lies there, shattered apart amid grasping bursts and pillars of frost.
[20:22] <Alicia> "I think we can call this theory confirmed," Alicia notes, eyeing the ice. "That'll be why it wouldn't let me teleport inside, since it's frozen solid. A pity we couldn't search it more thoroughly, but we got what we needed at least."
[20:23] <Kotono> "Now what?" Amaryl says as she shivers in the water, a small floe of ice floating past the party, "Return to Balmuria?"
01[20:24] <Seira> "Yeah, let's retreat for now," Seira agrees. "When Marie returns, she could try and take a look, perhaps? Or I could see if Abagail's location spell could be adapted to determine just where the place itself was located."
[20:25] <Alicia> "I'm willing to bet Balmuria is too far away for me to teleport us," Alicia admits. "Seira, could you perhaps see if you can get us to that place you explored in the wastes south of the desert and then I'll get us the rest of the way home?"
01[20:27] <Seira> "I could do that," Seira agrees quite readily, calling up the image of the fortress her father claimed for himself after Irenes's defeat and teleporting them all to its main entrance.
01[20:27] <Seira> roll 1d100
06[20:27] * Hatbot --> "Seira rolls 1d100 and gets 64." [1d100=64]
[20:29] <Kotono> Woosh! The party appears amid the wastelands! The stairs into Irenes' old fortress go down, as bitter cold blows about you. In the sky, black lightning plays, criss crossed with  vivid, bruiselike clouds that whiz by as fast as a fallen angel plummeting from the Heavens.
06[20:30] * Alicia pauses a moment to look around, curious since she's never been here. But she doesn't hold things up overly long, only taking the time to dry everyone off with prestidigitation before she teleports to her house.
[20:30] <Alicia> roll 1d100
06[20:30] * Hatbot --> "Alicia rolls 1d100 and gets 47." [1d100=47]
[20:31] <Kotono> Thus you appear in Alicia's house. It's quiet here, no one immediately about. Antenora takes a long breath, "Home. Shall we go see if Saul and the others have returned?"
[20:31] <Alicia> OOC: can I sense Marie?
06[20:31] * Seira figures Alicia would be the first to know, and thus looks expectantly towards her.
[20:35] <Alicia> "They're definitely back, I can sense Marie," Alicia confirms, assuming Jessica and Dawnhope have went somewhere with Hugo. She's not sensing any alarm from her familiar that would indicate anything bad's happened. "Lets go to the garrison and see from there? If Noonbreath is around we might as well tell him what happened with Melancton."
[20:38] <Kotono> Thus the party meets together at the garrison. The garrison itself is swollen - soldiers, outsiders and more, bustling and preparing Balmuria for the worst. Getting Noonbreath is done, as well as Saul, Eudard and Marie. With Commander Oberuth listening and watching in one of the meeting rooms, ""Alicia, Seira," A nod to them, "Report first."
01[20:45] <Seira> "Sir," Seira says, saluting. "As the result of investigating the location retrieved by Alicia, we found a portal to a stronghold of the Dark Six, who were as the result confirmed as our enemies without any shred of doubt. Once there, we have faced Melcanton, who refused to be swayed to surrender." She looks towards Noonbreath as she continues.
01[20:45] <Seira> "Regrettably, we were unable to subdue him in that situation."
[20:46] <Kotono> Noonbreath's face darkens with sadness, but he nods none the less. "I do not fault you for it. There are few worse foes than a titan. Was his death final or will his soul spirit back to the Outer Realms to reform?"
06[20:47] * Seira hesitates, before nodding slightly. "There is that possibility. Once we pressed on further into the base, we have encountered a spectre of Alice, despite Elle Stronger ensuring that she would be able to pass on. Given Elle's skill and knowledge, she would not have made a mistake in that."
[20:49] <Alicia> "I wouldn't be surprised if his soul was claimed by the Neverborn, in which case it will be irrevocably gone," Alicia interjects. "If he were to reform anywhere, though, it would likely be in Pale Night's care."
[20:49] <Kotono> As Commander Oberuth scowls, Noonbreath nods slightly, "If you come across his path again and can capture him, we will be greatful. Ah, Pale Night? Has she come into this again?"
01[20:51] <Seira> "We believe a connection might exist, yes," Seira affirms. "A slain hero's spirit we've encounterd in that place, after freeing the captive souls, insisted that the keys to freeing those eladrin children were held by the Dark Six, and that in turn as long as the sacrifice was ongoing in her realm, entry to Bleak Rendor, their place of power, was impossible."
[20:51] <Alicia> "And we have one of those keys right here," Alicia takes a moment to unfurl her portable hole, taking out the orb and holding it up for all to see.
[20:52] <Kotono> "Events are coming to a head," Noonbreath sits back in his seat, "Are you aware more celesitals have been traveling to - oh!" He stares at the orb. As Alicia holds it, skulls writhe within!
[20:53] <Alicia> "It's a really nasty thing," Alicia admits, putting it away after a few seconds. "It has a will and tries to tempt me with power whenever I touch it, but given how it empowered the spells of Glaciante Devarim, I'm not particularly interested in using it that way."
[20:54] <Kotono> Saul peers at it, "It should be identified, if not analysed. If it is as you say it is, you may hold a true artifact in your hands."
[20:56] <Kotono> After clearing his throat, "It truly is. But, on the subject I was, are you familiar that more celestials are headed to Androlynne? On discussing this matter with Queen Morwel," He pauses here, "She passes this information on and asks that it stays in your confidences. Not that itw ill be a great surprise to you now, I think."
[20:56] <Alicia> "We'll likely be following them shortly anyway," Alicia nods. "Go on?"
[20:57] <Kotono> After that, "The eladrin children in Androlynne are beginning to die out. Omens and portents have warned the Court of Stars that a great evil is coming to them. They are unclear, but meaning is abundant."
01[20:59] <Seira> "The Neverborn might be making its move, then, whatever it is," Seira voices. "At least we should have a way to counter it, now. The first thing we should should be identifying the workings of that orb, I feel."
[21:00] <Alicia> If they were all dead that would satisfy the conditions for reaching Bleak Rendor just as much as freeing them. Not that Alicia cares to so much as suggest this. "We have precious little time. If we can get the orb and any other magic items we recovered analysed today, we might be able to depart tomorrow?"
[21:00] <Alicia> She pauses a moment to regard Noonbreath, "We retrieved Melancton's belongings as well - is there anyone back home who would want them?"
[21:01] <Kotono> "Yes. We would like them." He agrees to Alicia, "Also to ensure that he never uses them again."
[21:01] <Kotono> At this, Saul considers, "Seira, the two of us should work on that once this is finished, then."
01[21:02] <Seira> "It'll have to be scrolls, but that works well enough for me."
[21:03] <Kotono> "As for our end of things?" Saul clears his throat, "We succeeded in meeting with Talos. We received information about the Neverborn, as well as a weapon assured to be able to wound it."
[21:03] <Alicia> "Also, don't even think about going near it without death ward magic," Marie speaks up for the first time. "Even if you survive the aura, you'll be horrendously weakened."
[21:04] <Kotono> "You'll need living weapons beyond mortal craft to wound it," Eudard says, drawing his own blade. It's like lightning, pure electricity crackling as forged steel.
[21:05] <Kotono> Saul clears his throat, "There is another concern as well. Namely, Malcanthet."
06[21:05] * Seira is far too aware of lacking one, but her father's words draw her attention. "How so?"
[21:05] <Alicia> "Does that describe you well enough, Hell Striker?" Alicia asks her sword hopefully. It certainly did a good job on the lich! Her expression darkens at Saul's interjection. "What about her?"
[21:07] <Kotono> "Talos warned us that she would be interested in this matter." Saul looks to Alicia, face blank and without expression. "He warned us that if we choose to parley with her, she is a serpent of wily and cunning. He warned us if we choose to ignore her, that her machinations are sure and devastating." Folding his hands together, "It does propose an unfavorable idea, but one worth considering. Namely, to come to some sort of understanding with her
[21:07] <Kotono> "It does propose an unfavorable idea, but one worth considering. Namely, to come to some sort of understanding with her, rather than her scheming and interfering becoming tangled with our own efforts."
[21:09] <Alicia> "If she tries to interfere she'll end up entangled with Pale Night, the Dark Six, and us. Would she really want to risk that?" Alicia asks hopefully, disheartened at her sword's lack of reply.
[21:10] <Alicia> Oh, there it is! She chooses to believe he's tough enough, and pats the hilt reassuringly.
[21:11] <Kotono> "I wouldn't put it past her." Saul answers right back, "I find the idea near folly, but..." At this, "The Abyss is Chaos. Perhaps we can use one arm of it to attack the other, or at least not bother us."
[21:11] <Kotono> Now bowing his head to rub his temples, "I also fear more trouble that we already have."
[21:12] <Kotono> "She's a demon," Antenora's own smile is dark and grim, "I wouldn't put the stupidity of it past her, nor the self important malice to do so. On the other hand, why bother? She's our enemy as well, just not an active one."
[21:13] <Kotono> "Interestingly, the demons sided with the Gods, while the devils did not, regarding the past war here," Noonbreath clears his throat, "I would have expected the other way, so perhaps there are more wrinkles to this as well."
01[21:14] <Seira> "We shouldn't get involved," Seira states her own opinion. "Regardless of success, at its core the idea to approach Malcanthet means that we won't be able to use that time and energy to focus on our real enemies."
[21:15] <Alicia> "We don't have time to go begging other demons to please leave us alone. This will likely see us coming into direct conflict with Pale Night as it is," Alicia seconds Seira.
[21:15] <Alicia> "If Malcanthet wants to try knocking over Pale Night while she's distracted with us, good for her. I'll wish her luck and stand clear. If she decides to go after us instead, well two demon queens against us isn't much different from one."
[21:16] <Kotono> "Agreed." Oberuth slams a hand down onto the table, "Unless we have no other choice, we won't go pissing around the Abyss, hoping for cursed help. If Malcanthet gets in our way, she'll be dealt with. Now then, Seira, Saul, get on that orb."
[21:17] <Kotono> "In a way, I'm glad you didn't listen," Saul says with the faintest smile, "Even if it's the wrong choice, it's the better one as far as I care." Standing now, "Let's go to to the Countess' shop, Seira. We'll do it there."
06[21:18] * Alicia takes the time to fish out Melancton's armour, hammer, and jewellery, letting Noonbreath have them before she follows Seira and her dad to get the big bag of magic items inventoried.
[21:50] <Kotono> ---
