A pixie's number journey (Moore)

[Anastasia]

Glitterosm is easy to find, as he's in his shop. He's touching it up, working on it and overall seeing to it. He greets you with a slight nod as you enter, "Your timing has improved," he observes.

[Nephrite]

"Things always have a way of working out for themselves." Moore says with a bit of a smile. "I'd like to request your assistance with something. Like Tryll, I'm trying to find ways to improve -- I have some ideas of my own, but I was hoping to get a numerologist's perspective. I understand that you can delve into the numbers to try and ascertain meaning from them. I would be willing to pay for your services if you think you could give me a direction to go in." He says, then he draws in a breath as he realizes he hasn't been terribly straight-forward.

"To be more specific, I think both my natural talents as a bard can be pushed further, as well as my... well, I have a moderate control over fate and chance in the short term, but I'm sure that could be strengthened as well."

[Anastasia]

Glitterosm merely turns and spreads his arms wide, "Tell me of your powers over fate and destiny. Describe them to me."

[Nephrite]

"I can manipulate it to help people do better at certain tasks, or to give them a bit more of a chance to just happen to be more skilled at something than normal." Moore says, as he takes a moment to demonstrate it. He looks at Glitterosm straight in the eyes. "You will succeed. You cannot possibly fail."

He's using Song of Fortune, which gives +5 to a skill check.

After that he takes a breath. "It doesn't last very long, unfortunately, but generally speaking that isn't a huge issue... but I'm working on trying to find a way to get it to last longer, also. Um... Beyond that, I help manipulate the luck around my allies attacks so that it's easier for them to strike at foe's weaknesses. I finally harnessed something else recently -- basically, if I focus all my attention onto a single target and maintain it, I can ebb luck away from them. It takes a great deal of my reserves, but generally speaking really has an impact. I could demonstrate that too, if you want."

[Anastasia]

Glitterosm is serene throughout all of that and says, "Demonstrate it."

[Nephrite]

"Okay." He takes a deep breath and looks to be intensely concentrating on something -- something around Glitterosm and not really at him. His eyes glaze over a bit as it looks almost as if he's daydreaming. However, as that happens...

He's using Melody of Misfortune, which is a supernatural ability if it makes any differences. It's -5 to Attacks/skills/saves and does not allow for a will save to resist it.

[Anastasia]

"I feel it," Giltterosm murmurs, "Yes, yes....tell me more. Do you have others? How else can you do this?"

[Nephrite]

Moore takes a breath and blinks out of his daze, the effects quickly vanishing. "My bardic musics allow me to do similar things, but that's less about manipulating anything and more just motivation and fervor. I do seem to have some sort of knack for deflecting blows away from myself and...mm. It's hard to put into words, but I guess I have an intuition when it comes to moving quickly in battles." He adds. "But that's more or less it in terms of what I'm capable of doing with it... at least as far as I know. I've never tried combining it with my anarch abilities... I don't know that that would go well."

[Anastasia]

"Can you demonstrate any of it?" Glitterosm says, "Besides the bardic music, which I'm familiar with."

[Nephrite]

"Yes." Moore answers. "Well, not the parts on myself, but... well, actually, I might be able to, if you took a swing at me with something. Here, I'll help you do better at it, ironically enough." He clears his throat. "Hit me with your best shot!" He shouts. Glitterosm can feel it!

He gains +3 to attack and damage rolls and Improved Crit feats.

Glitterosm takes a skillful swing at you with his fist...and completely overextends, crashing down to the floor next to you. Face first. Ow.

[Nephrite]

"...I don't -think- that was me..." Moore says as he flies down to try and help him up as best as he can.

[Anastasia]

Glitterosm sits up, nose trickling blood as he looks at you tiredly. 'You forgot to mention your power of destroying my mystique," He grouses, "That is the second time you've managed to do that."

[Nephrite]

Moore smiles and casts a quick spell to heal Glitterosm.

CLW.

"I guess I'm rather unique in that regard, what can I say?" He asks with a grin. "Ah, sorry for interrupting with Tryll earlier, I probably should've waited, either way."

[Anastasia]

"You see, much of my work relies on people believing. There's power behind numerology, and those that buy into it fully will appreciate it more and spend more." He gets himself up, "Belief does not equal power, but it can make the power you have stronger."
