Yggdrasil (Afina, Moore, Jaela)

[Ebiris]

"And what would besting the least of us get you? The right to proceed and then founder later on because you never challenged yourself and were left unprepared in the face of true opposition?" Afina asks. "We are exactly as we appear, and your eyes have no right to lay themselves on Yggdrasil, far less conquer it. Turn away from your prideful quest."

[Anastasia]

Make a diplo check as well there, Afina. You touched on something.

[Ebiris]

[18:00] <@Ebiris> roll 1d20+15 I don't do diplo
[18:00] <Serith> Ebiris roll for Serith < 19 > [d20=4]

[Anastasia]

"Right? RIGHT?" All of that is lost the moment Afina finishes speaking. "I serve the Foehammer! Conquest is my right and duty!" He shouts loudly, sword in hand. "All will fall to Tempus and all will be his!"

[Ebiris]

This is why they should have beaten him up first, so anything they say comes from a position of strength. "Not this," she retorts plainly.

[Nephrite]

Moore frowns. Maybe he's just really itching for a fight after all of this time?

Taking 10 on K:R to see if there's yet another religious bit of something or other Moore could pull out of Tempus' book to try and take some wind out of the guy's sails.

[Anastasia]

What's the check result, Neph?

[Corwin]

"Would this go much simpler for everyone if you just had a nice duel and lost properly?" Jaela asks, looking between everyone. "It's kinda annoying to be ignored or called a liar while dealing with this continued aggravation."

[Nephrite]

Wow, I'm a dumb today. 50.

[Anastasia]

"Yes, if you wish to be humbled by Afina or Crystal, you need only ask. I will grant you the honor of losing," Queen Ilsenine smiles coldly, "In fact, Afina, I feel my honor and the honor of Aurora has been besmirched. Fix this and properly chastise this disagreeable elf over it. Jaela and the others, join in as you please."

[Anastasia]

Nothing comes to mind for one reason: He's pretty clearl hard headed on this point. It's possible he's following a sect that emphasizes that, and in that case you're more or less out of luck.

[Nephrite]

Moore frowns further at Ilsenine's words, but if it helps the guy see reason from a "might makes right" standpoint, then...

He just flies over near her, since his part in this is more or less done.

[Ebiris]

"With pleasure, your Majesty," Afina says gladly as she leaps into action!

[Anastasia]

Jaela, are you joining the battle? If so roll init, otherwise move back IC.

[Corwin]

Jaela moves back, showing utmost trust in Afina. She does, however, take up position before the others, ready to summon a wall to protect them or counter an attack or spell headed their way.
