Seira's morning glow

[Anastasia]

Getting the three of you together isn't hard. Syala and Sanzha are here as...

Go ahead and set up, this is your baby.

[Corwin]

This time, rather than use one of her old laboratories Seira meets the pair in a room with positive energy, protected from the unfortunate side-effects through the use of protective magic.

"It's not so much a direct link to the plane of Positive Energy as it is a fragment of it, existing in finite space in the Cauldron," she tells Syala. "I thought we could start the first experiment here. Rather than opening a conduit and risking backlash, we should be able to use this place as the ideal greenhouse."

She frowns, glancing about the plain features, and adds, "Perhaps even literally. It's a bit barren right now, and could probably use some potted plants at the very least."

[Anastasia]

Syala wiggles her nose and suddenly plants are here and there, green and verdant. "There," she says, "That enough green?"

[Corwin]

"Nice and stylish!" Seira agrees. "Especially the gesture. Adorable!"

She tries to copy it, fails, and then pinches the bridge of her nose to make it happen as a large platform holding a caged green tiger rises out of an opening in the floor.

"I thought we would start with the basics," Seira goes on to say. "Animals without a strong magical component like unicorns or pegasi, which would be an obvious second step. The third would be to try and infuse a bit of elemental power into things, perhaps by using the Radiance room. Does that sound alright?"

The tiger doesn't have the same planar protection that keep them from being filled to the brim with positive energy, but his confines are more than simple bars. Made with the understanding of Yan-C-Bin's notes, they serve to filter and channel the energy properly to allow the base creature to grow rather than explode from the infusion.

[Anastasia]

"Well first of all, let's define parameters for the experiments. Are we going to try to make true behemoths or simply manage improvements short of that?" Syala asks, as Lady Sanzha goes to check the tiger over.

[Corwin]

"I think it's best to replicate the feat as closely to the original as possible, so we'll be aiming for a true behemoth, here. No improvements on the design, no half-steps. We've done all the prep we could until now, anyway, so it's time to go for it!"

[Anastasia]

"Then let's do it," Syala agrees, raising a hand. "Lead the way for the first one and hope this isn't an explosive failure to begin with."

"The rate of success is remarkably low," Lady Sanzha points out, "It may be inevitable."

[Corwin]

"We'll raise it until it works reliably," Seira promises, and with a silent apology to Shamal adjusts the filtering of the cage so that the process may begin!

[Anastasia]

Roll 1d100.

[Corwin]

20:45 <Lucille> roll 1d100
20:45 <•Penuche> Lucille invokes Penuche's magic: < 86 > [d100=86]

[Anastasia]

What happens is what you expect - the animal reaches the brink, only a bit of magic from Syala preventing an explosion. She reaches out and caresses it, divine will soothing the beast.

"I got some data from that," Lady Sanzha says, taking notes as she goes. "Keep him at peace, free of pain and suffering," she says, "And obviously not exploded, Syala."

[Corwin]

"What if instead a steady stream of positive energy, we tried the infusion in pulses?" Seira proposes. "We'll keep on pushing its limits over and over, expanding them like a muscle until the tiger is capable of internalizing the change."

[Anastasia]

Lady Sanzha hums, "Certainly worth experimenting in, and less uncomfortable than pushing animals that far."

"Agreed," Syala says, "I don't really like this testing that toes that close to hurting or killing one. I can accept it if I'm nulling the danger and the pain, but it's still distasteful. Let's try the pulses."

[Corwin]

Seira nods. "We're trying to find a better solution, like I said. Otherwise we would just be tossing hundreds of tigers at the problem in hundreds of rooms like this one until eventually one managed it."

She adjusts the cage further, programming holes in its protections to open at her her order.

"Ready on my end."

[Anastasia]

Give me another d100.
