"That's the Beyond, probably. Excellent," Seira says sarcastically.

Everyone made the Will save.

Init is Amaryl (Supreme) > Horror of Hands (71) > Ranbar (45) > Seira (44) > Moore (42) > Kascha (40) > Xandra (37)

Amaryl opens.

Amaryl hops back lightning fast, a barrage of arrows striking the creature before you.

A barrage of flaming arrows land, yet most are lost within the hands. Yet one plunges through a dozen hands, laughs and pain shared together as...

Horror is up.

The hands reach out, reaching out towards the party, towards Seira and Kascha in particular.

Both you nimbly avoid the hands, dodging out of the way. At the same time, "Seira, will force kill such a thing?" Ranbar asks.

She's up, actions depend on your answer.

[Corwin]

"It might, but hold on a sec," Seira calls to her, focusing her will on the Horror.

You're in Creation now, bitch!

The thing lacking a proper shape is placed in one through force, mittens covering each hand and sewn together like closed lips to cut off the endless laughter!

Let's try this.

[Anastasia]

Sure, gimme a Charisma check.

[Corwin]

19:53 <Seira> roll 1d20+12+2+2
19:53 <Penuche> Seira invokes Penuche's magic: < 25 > [d20=9]

[Anastasia]

To your will, hands are sewed together and bound, tight as the entire thing goes silent. White gives way to blue, gone just like that.

You've learned. The purpose of this place is to ensure Creation is not easily harmed by Beyond. Do you understand now?

Free act.

[Corwin]

I actually understood from the start, Seira admits. The changing colors of the surf are very clear.

She starts heading down the beach towards that flare up of 21, even as she casts a few spells to ensure her friends are better protected.

Celestial Valor, Glorious Rally and Recitation.

[Nephrite]

Moore follows along!

The power of will made manifest, huh? Sounds familiar...

[Anastasia]

This trial is best served to those who seek to become One.

Bear that in mind well.

[Corwin]

Seira laughs loudly as she leads the way.

We knew that much before coming here! Now stop playing coy and come out to say hi!

[Nephrite]

"I'm not sure she can." Moore says.

"You're still bound by 21's first and foremost curse, aren't you?" He speaks up.

[Anastasia]

Come closer. I'm waiting.

"If that's how she wants to do it, so be it," Amaryl says, striding along.

Xandra goes to Moore and murmurs, "The obligation to tell the truth?"
