The pit (Muirfinn and Lief)

[Anastasia]

Asmodeus does not change expression - and those eyes meet yours again. All you are plummets, mind falling apart like torn book pages in the wind. Thoughts crumble into nothingness, darkness claiming everything he is.

One errant thought remains - a smile, a name. Vivan...and it fades into darkness, consumed and lost to him.

Your Int, Wis and Cha are stuck at 0 due to vile ability damage and general mind trauma. You're effectively dead, though Muirfinn's body still lives. For all purposes and short of a stunning reversal, you're off to !rollchar land. I'll post about this in nagging after work tonight.

Meanwhile, Lief can see Muirfinn go limp and then vanish. "Take the pixie," Asmodeus commands, Lixer bowing deeply to him.

I'll post more tonight, Lief, but I'm out of time before work. Feel free to drop a reaction as much as you can in the circumstances.

I'm assuming that dying like this doesn't automatically kick my soul back to Water?

[Anastasia]

It does not. After all, you aren't dead. Reducing your mental ability scores to 0 does not kill you.

However, you're captured by the Lord of the Ninth and unable to do anything, nor will your ability damage heal naturally (as it is vile damage). For all practical purposes, Muirfinn is dead without outside intervention.

Lixer snaps his fingers, the world around Lief going dim and then dark.

When he awakens, darkness. Darkness and hooded faces - a memory of the battle at Castle Crumbling surfaces. Lixer's Necrolytes, cornugon necromancers. He is tied to something, unable to move. His entire body aches and a pervasive chill wracks his body. He's somewhere pitch black, unable to see a things ave for his captures. What comes next is unspeakable agonies, the only mercy is that Lief can scream. The unholy ritual ends only when a sacrificial dagger plunges into Lief's heart, a moment of relief followed by the endless, eternal misery of undeath.

By general agreement, Iddy and I decided to move this one to its conclusion. There's really not any chance Lief can escape short of praying for divine intervention and getting lucky (1000 on a d1000), so there's little point in dragging this out.

This topic is closed. Muirfinn and Lief both had good runs, perhaps they can be saved by Aurora one day. But that is not today.
