Sigil Hunt (Jaela; 86 days left)

[Anastasia]

Okay, plan here?

[Corwin]

I'll take Adrian and Tepen and head out to the Deep Ethereal following Velasca's instructions after the usual Aurora buffs.

[Anastasia]

Velasca takes the gold coins and does things - strange things, odd words uttered as she moves the coins around, deftly manipulating them. They begin to stretch like clay, molding themselves together and into the shape of a ten pointed star. It's a tiny, handheld thing, "Hold this when plane shifting yourselves to the Deep Ethereal. No gates, nothing fancier, a plane shift. It'll pull you in the right direction, then place it on the box there to open it and retrieve the sigil."

For reference. Who is doing the plane shift? I presume you but I'd like to be clear due to resource issues.

[Corwin]

I have the spell and I'll be doing this.

[Anastasia]

The Deep Ethereal is foggy and cold, the ten pointed star glittering with a faint light as you feel tugged down and ahead.

[Corwin]

"This way," Jaela voices, following the tug. She keeps her speed to what Adrian and Tepen are comfortable with.

[Anastasia]

Adrian takes the rear, putting Tepen in the middle. You follow the tug and...

Listen.

[Corwin]

Taking 10 and Divine Insight for 41.

[Anastasia]

> roll 1d20+38 Adrian
<Serith> Kotono roll for Serith < 43 > [d20=5]
> roll 1d20+37 Tepen
<Serith> Kotono roll for Serith < 55 > [d20=18]

As you advance along, Tepen sends to both of you, 'I heard breathing behind us. Not Adrian's.'

[Corwin]

Jaela takes a look with her blindsight!

60ft!

[Anastasia]

Spot. Yes, I know, blindsight, but darkstalker or the like is in play.

[Corwin]

Taking 10 for 39.

[Anastasia]

You don't sense anything in range.

[Corwin]

'Direct me if you see anything, and be ready to dodge,' Jaela thinks to Tepen and Adrian, having no option but to continue.

[Anastasia]

You see it ahead soon - a plain wooden box, floating in the Deep Ethereal. There's nothing special about it on a glance, yet the star you hold tugs you towards it.
