A pixie on a mission (Moore)

[Nephrite]

"Don't stop there, Sir Adrian! Keep going!" Moore calls out, inspiring his ally to take another swing at his opponent!

Rally Attack on Adrian, he gets a free Standard Action. Counts as one Attack of Opportunity for the round.

I forgot to mention it, but Moore also has Motivate Attack, which is +1 to Attack Rolls as long as Adrian is within 60 feet of him.

[Anastasia]

Okay, noted. Just don't forget it again, you're new at this build so that's okay this time.

Adrian takes that chance, moving even faster as he hacks at the cornugon again.

> roll 1d20+31 (+1 aura, +1 haste, -15 PA)
<Serith> Kotono roll for Serith < 46 > [d20=15]
> roll 2d6+60
<Serith> Kotono roll for Serith < 64 > [d6=2,2]

Another big chunk of the cornugon's side is gone, Adrian slashing relentlessly. He doesn't bisect it, but he comes close. With them on the ropes, Adrian becomes a blur of swords and movement, trying to rip the two devils asunder.

Both foes go down, shredded apart and falling. Adrian stomps down hard on the cornugon's skull, blood and brain squirting out. Glancing back, "Moore, do you have a holy weapon or blessed spell handy? I forgot to pick up my means of dealing with it from Afina."

Free act. See nagging for the story behind that comment.

[Nephrite]

"I don't, that's not something within the realm of possibility for me, unfortunately." Moore says. "I suppose it wouldn't be a bad idea to pick up a wand or rod that can emulate it when we get back." He suggests.

[Anastasia]

"That was probably the commander," Adrian pauses, a flick of his wrist clearing Gaelach of blood. He pauses again to stomp down on the cornugon's head, a sick crunch as it slowly regenerates. "Damned rookie mistake." He grunts and grabs the cornugon, dragging it by one leg. "We'll take this one back for interrogation. If the leader's one cornugon out of favor enough for a non-combat position, there's nothing here that's worth the trouble, and I'd rather not leave a bunch of devils free to regenerate."

[Nephrite]

Moore nods. "All right, then. Should we head back, then?" He asks, before he starts to fly back in the direction they had come from.

[Anastasia]

The two drag the cornugon out as shouts come from the fortress. But it's enough to get out, Adrian briefly dropping his load. He draws his blade and slashes in the air, a ragged portal appearing. "Hurry up," he says, taking the devil and going through with him.

[Nephrite]

Moore wastes no time and follows Adrian through!

[Anastasia]

From here it's all wrap up - Adrian uses some magic to get in touch and soon Hanna appears to take you back to Aurora. She drags off the cornugon, a few scythe blows keeping it down. Just as Adrian turns to say something, Elena appears. "Adrian!" She blurts out, "There's an emergency meeting, the Duke of Destiny and Prince Lixer ambushed Muirfinn and Ithea's group," she says quietly.

Adrian's color rapidly drains from his face, "How bad?" he asks.

"Bad. Ithea and Sylvie made it back. The others didn't." Elena looks down, "Really bad."

Taking a long breath, "Moore, take a rest. If you need a room, ask Ebony or an office rand they'll set up a guest room."

[Nephrite]

Moore startles at that. "The Duke of Destiny?" He repeats.

Then it hits him.

Has Erathaol planned for this so far in advance? Is that why he's... Moore takes a moment and takes in a breath. If that's the case, then all will be revealed to him in time. He trusted Celestia before and has no reason not to now.

"Of course." He says, as he goes to fly back to see if Ebony is still with the spiders.

[Anastasia]

Okay, I'm going to pause you since getting a room for the night is unremarkable. We'll pick up once we get everyone lined up due to the current IC crisis.

[Nephrite]

Okay.

[Anastasia]

You'll begin in a new topic, so locking this one.
