The hunt for goldenfire (Afina and Jaela, later Surraruthru too)

[Ebiris]

"Will you still protect me despite the sins I've committed?" Afina asks, not wanting to be burned because it was a one time thing.

[Anastasia]

"I am newborn in spirit, reborn," Mirajane says, just as the angel opens his mouth. "The sun will not harm me."

After that and a slight nod from the angel, he tries again, not getting interrupted. "Your mother is one of us?" he asks. "Yes, if you were accepted once, the way will stay open."

[Corwin]

"She's with the Court, though the Whirling Fury detached her to the Aurora," Jaela responds, and since it's a good chance she decides to press her luck a bit by adding, "May I, then?"

[Iron Dragoon]

Surraruthru zips up to eye level with the angel, but keeps his distance.

"Can I go, too? I'm supposed to, I think..."

[Anastasia]

What is your alignment, Surraruthru?

Make a diplo check here, Jaela.

[Corwin]

[22:51] <@Annerose> roll 1d20+55 diplo (+2 with elves!)
[22:51] <Kobot> Annerose rolled 1d20+55 diplo (+2 with elves!) --> [ 1d20=4 ]{59}

[Iron Dragoon]

OOC: Chaotic Good.

[Anastasia]

"You may," The angel at last decides, "Our raiment and weapon are protected from the eyes of the inquisitive. Overcome that and you are worthy to learn."

Meanwhile another angel comes forth. This one carries a mace, the head a brilliant nova of light. "You may go, wyrmling."

[Corwin]

Jaela inclines her head, and calls upon her magical sight. She can already tell perfectly where the contours are with blindsight, and that just leaves fleshing out the details. If she manages to fill them in through magic she should be golden!

[17:36] <@Annerose> roll 1d20+35+15 spellcraft, divine insight
[17:36] <Kobot> Annerose rolled 1d20+35+15 spellcraft, divine insight --> [ 1d20=16 ]{66}

[Anastasia]

Add a caster level check with whatever means of magical sight you're using. DM, arcane sight or whatever.

[Corwin]

[17:54] <@Annerose> roll 1d20+25 DM CL
[17:54] <Kobot> Annerose rolled 1d20+25 DM CL --> [ 1d20=15 ]{40}

Greater Blindsight is precast at CL29, so 44 for that.

[Anastasia]

Jaela studies the angel's weapon. It's hard to - it's as if a great darkness surrounds it. A cold emptiness, insulating the li-agh! Jaela's eyes water and hurt as she gets a glimpse of light unending. Darkness surrounds the weapon in a thin sheathe, holding back such radiance as to be solid. It is light trapped, purified and intensified many times over. If unleashed, the light wound scour everything around it, destroying the righteous and unholy alike in a blinding cataclysm.

Jaela thinks she grasps the basic principals - the darkness around it is absolutely critical.

[Corwin]

"Darkness," she muses. "No, not quite darkness. Void? Both to contain the light and focus it upon your enemies?"

[Anastasia]

The angel does not reply to that, only listening and watching Jaela.

[Corwin]

Then it's time to experiment, with a bit of a magical boost. She learned how to glow with the help of magic, by inviting the power of the sun and stars into her body. What is that if not a raiment? She can even make it brighter still at will, by overcharging the spell. So can she not do the opposite if she tries? Or, taken further, reform the light about her into a shape of her choosing?

Good Hope, and recast Divine Inspiration.
