Moving spheres

[Anastasia]

Fire and sparks fall - before there's a flash of green light and the entire tend shudders, explosions tearing everything - including Marie!

Ref. While the flames aren't, all the nasty and vile evil magic going up is somewhat of a different story.

Whatever it is makes your skin crawl, but you phase through it. The entire tend is gone when you can see again, just a blasted crater that burns with green and black fires.

Free act.

[Ebiris]

Well this has been exciting! She flies off now to go after Bre and friends to see what they're doing.

[Anastasia]

They're currently watching the remnants - their own tents gone.

"Shit, shit, shit," The minotaur stares.

"Well, he's dead. Good enough. New plan: He just blew up. Don't know why." The bald one says, rubbing his forehead.

Tinnal nods slowly, "Yes, justice. He could only meddle with those forces for so long."

[Ebiris]

That's good thinking, Marie can get behind that! She's still only passively observing again though, no need to make her presence known or anything.

Really does this even have anything to do with Sharrans at all?

Well it doesn't matter, she's invested now!

[Anastasia]

Reaching up to rub his nose and grimace, "We get out of here, report and the boss can decide on the rest." The bald man says.

Bre slowly rubs his shoulder while Tinnal frowns, "What about Sandos?"

"What about him? Kuj stabbed him, if he's not dead it's a matter of time." the minotaur says, "No, I can manage the magic to get us back. Forget those robed menaces, if the boss wants us to tangle with them after this, we can deal then."

"The only thing I want to deal with is the bottom of a tankard," The bald man sniffles and gets out a bit of cloth, blowing out blood and mucus. "I'll buy, we can drink to Kuj no longer being with us."

[Ebiris]

Oh, are they going to teleport away now? Well she can probably scry on them with Alicia's help to find them later.

Actually was Sandos the man she saw to start this all off? But he seemed local since he had that hideaway set up, and these people definitely aren't local. Something to investigate later.

[Anastasia]

"What about that skull?" Bre says as they all get up, get ready.

Another shrug, the bald man rolling his shoulder with a grunt. "It can stay down here. It's worth money but we're not getting past the stalker. Kuj thought it was the Bitter Bitch's faithful because of that."

As Tinnal looks mournfully over at the tents, Bre slaps him on the back. "We'll get paid anyway. Besides," he says, "You learned something here."

"Yes?" Tinnal asks, letting out a gusty sigh.

"I don't care how hard it is for song magic, learn a better fire spell than that!" Bre declares, before grabbing them and uttering spidery, twisting arcane words.

[Ebiris]

What spell's he casting anyway?

[20:02] <@Ebiris> roll 1d20+49 spellcraft
[20:02] <Penuche> Ebiris invokes Penuche's magic: < 58 > [d20=9]

[Anastasia]

Interestingly, he's not casting. He's invoking words that mean nothing together - you're feeling a slight surge of magic from an unobtrusive ring on his finger.

[Ebiris]

What kind of magic ring is it then?

DC 50 epic skill to identify an item in one round.

[20:14] <@Ebiris> roll 1d20+49 spellcraft
[20:14] <Penuche> Ebiris invokes Penuche's magic: < 69 > [d20=20]

[Anastasia]

The ring can allow plane shifting once per day.

[Ebiris]

In that case Marie lets them go. She'll have to scry or something later, it's still mostly besides the point since she's after Sharrans.

[Anastasia]

Thus they're gone and that leads the lingering question: Now what?
