The Sword of Myr, again (Surraruthru)

[Anastasia]

Three rounds so you can get two in.

The ring is a ring of protection+4. It also functions as a ring of wizardry III, improved swimming and improved climbing.

The axe is a greataxe+3, unholy.

[Iron Dragoon]

Surraruthru spends the recovery time inspecting the items.

"This is a powerful ring. It grants improved protections, swimming, climbing, and increases third level spell capacity. The axe is powerful, but unholy. Is anyone interested in either?"

After saying so, Surraruthru stretches his recovered body like a cat, working the kinks out.

[Anastasia]

> roll 24d4
<Kobot> Kotono rolled 24d4 --> [ 24d4=63 ]{63}

Forgot to roll this, but she heals it right back, so whatever.

"Store them for now, discern them later," Ebony says, finishing her song. "We have little time before there is another difficulty, Secretus will not allow us to tarry and recovery long."

"Yeah," Sylvie says, "The only way out is ahead."

[Iron Dragoon]

Surrarthru nods and inspects the room for anything hidden, suspecting the door to be misdirection.

[Anastasia]

Search check.

[Iron Dragoon]

> roll 1d20+24 Search
<Kobot> Iddy rolled 1d20+24 Search --> [ 1d20=10 ]{34}

[Anastasia]

You don't find anything else in the room - besides a hidden compartment in the podium, anyway.

[Iron Dragoon]

"Hidden compartment here."

After informing the others, Surraruthru attempts to check it over for traps before opening it!

[Anastasia]

"Hurry," Ebony prods, as Kascha comes over with you. Inside the compartment is a steel knife with a swirling pattern on it. Tiny runes are engraved along the blade's edge, only visible with your superior draconic vision. It's designed to slash, not thrust.

[Iron Dragoon]

Surraruthru shuffles it into his saddlebags quickly, turning back to the door and leading the group through!

The party heads through the door. The moment you go in, you're falling again. Plunging deeper into this accursed realm, darkness and fire licking all around.

Reflex saves, all. Remember to note if you have evasion.

Kascha takes 27 damage, Ebony takes 7 thanks to fire resistance.

Through the hellscape of darkness and heat Surraruthru constantly dodges. He evades every attack through sheer perseverance, landing in touched. The four you are in darkness that slowly recedes thanks to Ebony's light. It soon fades, countering whatever darkness exists in this realm. You can see them - hundreds of bodies, from the mortal to the immortal. Fiends hang alongside devils, humans next to elves, ogres next to goblins. All are hung in the air from chains that come from nowhere.Their bodies are skeletal and broken, save for their heads. These heads are swollen and many times larger than they should be.

Hatred.

The sheer power of the emotion slams into you. Ebony gasps softly and wraps her wings around herself while Kascha whimpers softly.

Meaninglessness.

A tidal wave of emotion hits you again. The sheer meaningless of your struggles overwhelm you. You drown in your own sorrows, knowing what you do is pointless. You were wrong about the Sword of Myr. There is no hope against Secretus. You have failed and your lives are forfeit.

No.

Your magic holds. Your minds are proof against such incursion. You resist the siren song that pushes into your minds, casting the impure thoughts out.

KILLKILLKILLKILLKILLKILLKILLKILLKILLKILLKILLKILLKILLKILLKILL!

Rage comes as the bodies writhe in the air. Ebony's voice, clear and beautiful, cuts through it all. "These souls are in torment. We will free them and put them to rest. The bondage of these souls ends today!"

Initiative here.
