All That Glitters

[Nephrite]

Moore nods to himself after doing some thinking and reflection.

"We won't have any luck trying to hit him with magic, but I don't think that's really our specialties at all." Moore says. "Xandra, do you want to accompany us or would you prefer to stay here and get accustomed to things?"

[Anastasia]

"When are you leaving?" Xandra asks.

[Nephrite]

"I was likely going to leave shortly, though I admit, the passage of time is somewhat difficult for me to track here..." Moore looks upwards before laughing a bit. "I'll have to get a clock. So as soon as possible, to answer your question."

[Nephrite]

OOC I don't mind waiting for her sheet to be done to continue on, for what it's worth.

[Anastasia]

I'm working on it now, lemme see where I'm at around noon my time.

[Nephrite]

Sure, take your time, no rush.

[Anastasia]

Preview. She's not 100% done, need to write a few custom abilities and sort items out, but the bare bones are done.

Okay, I didn't get her done, got pulled away, so it's your choice.

1. We go on and pause if we run into anything where her mechanics might matter.

2. We spend a day with light RP, just getting to know some of the people here.

3. We wait until I have it done, probably tomorrow morning.

[Nephrite]

Let's go with 1, I expect it's going to be a while before we get into a fight unless we're intercepted or something, so no worries.

[Anastasia]

Alrighty then, what's your next move?

[Nephrite]

Use my mind blank cube that I still need to name, toss in some other spells for Cresiel and Xandra

Surge of Hope (+4 morale bonus to attack, skills, saves, checks, etc)
Tyche's Touch for all three of them.

We will then Greater Plane Shift to Crystalle's Palace, or as close as to that as the spell will allow us to go.

[Anastasia]

I haven't actually transfered over spoiler blocks yet, so just keep a note of what spells you gave them for now. I'll do that tomorrow morning since I may want to tweak them from B3. Gimme a confirmation on that.

You appear within Mineral. All sparkles as you stand on a path of smooth, polished diamond and gold, not a single sharp edge. Cresiel merely looks around while Xandra stays aloft, feet off the ground by about a foot. "The song here is beginning to show signs of of discordance," she murmurs. "Shar may well be influencing this plane."

[Nephrite]

So noted.

"If I remember right, the path is this way." Moore says as he heads forward, trusting his memory on how to get to Crystalle's abode. If all else fails, he'll magic it up.

"You're right, she is. That's why we're here." Moore says. "We're going to put an end to it."

[Anastasia]

"We must," Cresiel concurs, "What does Shar do longer term to this song, Xandra?"

Xandra floats along slowly, yet keeps pace with you. Her wings don't move, she just moves of her own volition. "Discordance. Collapse. Stillness. Silence. Nothingness. The song falters and dies when Shar is too strong. Shar brings oblivion."

[Nephrite]

"That's one song I think I'll pass on ever learning." Moore says with a huff as they go along. "I've really got to learn that 'move without moving' trick."
