On the prowl (Ithea)

[Anastasia]

Ready to move along, Ithea?

[Merc]

Yes.

[Anastasia]

Next post will be a few, need to set up NPC stat blocks for the adventure. Fair warning.

[Anastasia]

Thus the four head on out. As you approach, Simmer grimaces and says, "Air bubble," flatly, arms crossed. Scowling. "I'm not getting wet."

"Remind me to talk to Jaela, Afina and Adrian when we get back. Probably should move to a more neutral plane if we're forcing some of our residents to hide away in the lava baths," Ithea says to no one in particular, before focusing on Balyss. "I don't suppose you can provide Simmer with the air bubble? Not my kind of magic, and unless anarch powers work in Water..."

She gestures towards the water and concentrates briefly...

Just for shits and giggles...
[18:18] <Merc> roll d20+8+10 anarch roll even work here?
[18:18] <Penuche> Merc invokes Penuche's magic: < 34 > [d20=16]

[Anastasia]

As one would expect, nothing happens as there is no chaos-stuff of Limbo to manipulate.

[Merc]

"Yep, no chaos stuff in that water," Ithea says with a nod, not having expected much else.

[Anastasia]

"What," Simmer has a hand on her hip, glaring hotly at Ithea. Quite literally, flames dancing in her eyes. "Were you expecting this to be Water, but in Limbo?"

[Merc]

"No, just pointing out that I can't do much to provide an air bubble, hence why I asked Balyss to."

[Anastasia]

"Well, one thing first. Will Water actually hurt you?" Balyss asks, "It's just water, it's not going to put you out."

Simmer hisses, like an angry cat. "It's WATER!" She throws her arms up and glares at Balyss, "You're not going to get out of this. You don't even need to save the spell, we're going to the Gates of the Moon!"

[Merc]

"I actually think it would hurt Simmer, not enough to kill her since she's powerful enough, but definitely something I think would hurt," Ithea comments. "Keep in mind how uncomfortable the three of us are likely to be when we eventually get to Magma, no reason we can't spare Simmer that discomfort."

Out of curiosity, would Balyss recover her spells at the Gates of the Moon as Simmer implies? Or how's that work?

[Anastasia]

K:P.

[Merc]

[20:47] <Merc> roll d20+42 K:P
[20:47] <Penuche> Merc invokes Penuche's magic: < 57 > [d20=15]

[Anastasia]

Ithea doesn't recall hearing about anything like that. What Simmer meant is anyone's guess.

[Merc]

Well, Ithea's just going to wait for Balyss to be a trooper! Or Hanna!

Or barring that, maybe she'll just have to get a scroll made just for this (or if people are all in Aurora, maybe they can just move it out of Water).

Surely some opportunity to do something to let them portal out will occur soon.

Noooooot really sure what you want me to say or do. Like I said, Ithea's got nothing to help here.
