The first peaceful day

[Anastasia]

Tepen goes to the tree, eyes glowing blue as he does. "Remarkable," he says, "It's as if you created it with powerful magic that leaves behind no trace."

"A power that is not your own," Xandra keeps her voice low, just for Moore. "Use it, but to practice and grow, not as a crutch for yourself."

[Nephrite]

Moore nods to Xandra. Still, perhaps he can use this to advance his knowledge and control over...

"Let us try what we were working on before. Still, I will be careful." Moore promises.

He will sit down in the center of the circle and take a breath, then slowly, carefully, try to wrap himself in the part of his soul again.

Full Disclosure, my phone corrected that to 'his soup'.

[Anastasia]

Cool. How far did you get last time, forgot to make a note of it.

[Nephrite]

The mechanical effect was +2 bonus to Charisma.

[Anastasia]

Charisma check then.

[Nephrite]

[blockquote]Rolled 1d20+43 : 15 + 43, total 58[/blockquote]

[Anastasia]

It flows easier, even if it leaves you staggered again. You feel it come forth and...

+4 Charisma, 60 damage.

[Anastasia]

<Ebiris> So is Moore basically Pun Pun now?
> They're not permanent bonuses nor do they stack with themselves, to be clear.
<Ebiris> Ah, it sounded like they were permanent.
> No.

Just in case this wasn't clear. I think it is, but if someone in chat made the mistake, well...best to be clear.

[Nephrite]

He takes in a breath. He sits and just maintains this for a few minutes, before he tries to push himself just a bit farther!

No, I am aware the bonus only lasts while thus is in effect.

I have a long way to go to be Pun Pun.

[Anastasia]

Yes. Still, DMs thrive on clarity. Well, that and PC anguish.

Charisma check again.

[Nephrite]

[blockquote]Rolled 1d20+56 : 8 + 56, total 64[/blockquote]

the other roll didn't add 15 from GI... 20 base Charisma bonus with the current soul bonus plus the aura, just for the sake of math.

[Anastasia]

Con check.

[Nephrite]

[blockquote]Rolled 1d20+26 : 12 + 26, total 38[/blockquote]

[Anastasia]

300 damage, comes from you and not your temp HP this time.

PAIN. You have to stop immediately, falling to a knee. You shudder and are sick, more blood than anything else coming up. You feel like you're cracking inside, throbbing hot and dripping blood within.

Kaja's there, holding you, saying something you can't make out.

[Nephrite]

Moore reels, not expecting that.

He tries to take a calming breath in and out as the power leaves him. He simply had to take it slowly... he can't push himself too hard, and perhaps this was simply too much for right now.

He waves his hand at Kaja in a calming manner for now.
