Now where am I?! (Moore)

[Anastasia]

You go straight ahead. This leads to dimly lit hallway that hooks to the right and starts sloping upward. You follow it a time, as...

> roll 1d100 Moore
<Serith> Kotono roll for Serith < 82 > [d100=82]

Suddenly a large, shambling, rust-red creature appears right in front of you. It lets out a strange trilling sound and sniffs the air.

[Nephrite]

They really don't have time to deal with this, so Moore will move along while invisible!

[Anastasia]

The two of you fly ahead quickly, coming to a door at the end upward slope. A sign on the door reads, "Abode of the Mystic Zamzas. Enter if you dare, mortals!"

[Nephrite]

"No harm in... trying?" Moore says as he goes to open the door.

[Anastasia]

Amazingly, it's another locked door.

[Nephrite]

Moore will try wiggling the ring one last time.

[Anastasia]

The door clicks open and goes slightly ajar.

[Nephrite]

"And you thought I was crazy!" Moore says as he opens the door to go inside!

[Anastasia]

"Why would you..." Ilsenine murmurs, "Slaad, that must be it."

The door opens to a mage's laboratory. You've seen them before - and in here is a white bearded man in a black robe decorated with stars and symbols. He waves a gnarled old staff at you, "Don't think your fancy fairy tricks will fool these eyes," he snaps. "You have entered the abode of ZAMZAS!"

[Nephrite]

Huh, well it makes sense he can see them. Moore reappears!

"Okay, so do you know you're actually part of this creation, or are we pretending like you're real?" Moore asks. "Because the whole thing is starting to unravel, so we really don't have a lot of time for this."

[Anastasia]

Ilsenine stays invisible, while the wizard twitches - full body, all over. "You speak madness and lies, fey charlatan! Brigand! Blackguard! Mountebank! Rogue!" Wave after wave of his wand, "I'm going to catch you and pluck your wings off!"

Init.

[Nephrite]

"Oh for Erathaol's sake..." Moore mutters.

[23:08] <Nephrite> roll 1d20+34
[23:09] <Serith> Nephrite roll for Serith < 54 > [d20=20]

[Anastasia]

> roll 1d20+27 Ilsenine
<Serith> Kotono roll for Serith < 32 > [d20=5]
> roll 1d20+11 wizard caster level check for nerveskitter
<Serith> Kotono roll for Serith < 22 > [d20=11]
> roll 1d100
<Serith> Kotono roll for Serith < 30 > [d100=30]
> roll 1d20+3 wizard init
<Serith> Kotono roll for Serith < 12 > [d20=9]

Init is Moore (54) > Ilsenine (30) > Wizard (12)

Colorful streamers erupt from the wizard's hands as...

Open.

[Nephrite]

"No, just... no." Moore says as he tries to dispel the wizard!

[23:11] <Nephrite> roll 1d20+25 CL check
[23:11] <Serith> Nephrite roll for Serith < 43 > [d20=18]
[23:11] <Nephrite> roll 1d20+20 greater dispel
[23:11] <Serith> Nephrite roll for Serith < 24 > [d20=4]

[Anastasia]

No good, it holds. Ilsenine sighs, making the same symbols and gestures as you.

> roll 1d20+23 caster level check
<Serith> Kotono roll for Serith < 39 > [d20=16]
> roll 1d20+20
<Serith> Kotono roll for Serith < 23 > [d20=3]

"Damn and blast," Ilsenine says, "I wish Afina was here, she's ever so good at eliminating annoyances."

Meanwhile the wizard scowls, "Oh mighty Weave of magic, I call on the greatest power: Pixie plucking penalty!"

> roll 1d20+11 wizard caster level check for pixie plucking penalty
<Serith> Kotono roll for Serith < 22 > [d20=11]
> roll 1d100
<Serith> Kotono roll for Serith < 5 > [d100=5]

Zamzas glows but nothing else happens.

"Pixie plucking penalty? Who makes a spell like that?" Ilsenine asks, voice heavy with disgust and disbelief.

Go.
