Lost in goldenfire (Jaela)

[Anastasia]

 "Yes," Kascha murmurs, a hand to her chest. "Then who takes the blessing?"

[Corwin]

"Hit me," Jaela says, stepping forward. "I've wanted to learn your skills from the moment we met. Got to say, I'm a fan."

[Anastasia]

Jaela is suddenly entombed in light. Light everywhere, overwhelming and blasting her back. She flies back through a broken landscape, which blossoms to life as she lands. She has a sensation of flying, of soaring faster than she ever has before. Light flows into her, focusing in her hand? Her body? Her head? She isn't sure, and she has a strong feeling to guide it, to choose one of them. "Your smites, your body or your magic." Salandriel is heard in her ear, a whisper.

Once Jaela has made her choice, the party finds themselves back in the maze, by the trapped treasure chest. "Return," Salandriel is heard, albeit from far away. "Return to Lathander and his servant's maze."

[Corwin]

My body is ready!

I can't believe a chance to say that in context appeared.

[Anastasia]

Jaela's body glows with light before it fades, yet she seems somehow brighter than before.

Jaela gains the following ability.

Body of Light (Su)

At will as a free action, Jaela can shed light equivalent to a torch. Evil creatures within this light suffer a -2 penalty to saving throws against Jaela's spells, spell-like abilities and supernatural abilities. This penalty increases to -4 against evil outsiders and undead.

[Ebiris]

"How is it?" Afina asks Jaela, starting to flutter up the stairs.

[Corwin]

"Thanks!" Jaela calls back. "Let's keep going-- wait, did you recover, Kascha?"

[Corwin]

"I finally got my inner glow!" Jaela tells Afina happily, manifesting it. "It burns very nicely and I just know devils will hate it. So useful!"

[Iron Dragoon]

"Sounds pretty! That Salandriel was a tough one... He kept blowing away my magic like nothing... Should we rest before we keep going?"

[Corwin]

"He blew all our magic away, but it's okay. You have to face strong opponents to improve," Jaela muses. "I really wish you set him on fire a bit with an area attack, though."

[Anastasia]

"I'm fine," Kascha shakes her head, "That happens sometimes, Surraruthru. There's always someone stronger." Rolling her shoulders, "Shall we?"

The party continues ahead past the chest and to the stairs going up. They lead to a platform surrounded by stone walls on all sides. Sitting on the floor there is a figurine of the sun, made of shining gold and platinum.

[Corwin]

Jaela waits for someone to check the platform and its contents over, boosting her awareness in the meantime.

Mirajane steps back, "Surraruthru, this is your talent," she says, getting behind Jaela. "I don't see ruin in the future, but caution is learned after that last trap."

[Iron Dragoon]

"Well, it certainly *looks* like something that would be trapped..."

Surraruthru edges forward so he can see the area better and looks it over for anything insidious!

[Anastasia]

No sign of traps. Looks safe to Surraruthru.

In the meantime, Kascha shoulder's slump and she rubs her shoulder. "I can't believe Lathander just tossed us at something like that for that. He was right, it was absurd to open something and get thrown at an apocalyptic angel. It's like wandering around and running into an avatar or something."
