Labalyn's memorial

[Anastasia]

"Gathgorian and Bel," Cresiel's voice is heavy.

"They found this? How?" Jetina asks, "How did they get past the solars?" Her voice has open disbelief.

"Asmodeus. How else?" Cresiel's retort is immediate.

[Nephrite]

"Even so, I can't imagine they've gone unnoticed." Moore says. "Especially in a place like Arcadia... well, we will continue on. We can't worry about what it is they do."

He soldiers on, though at a slightly faster pace!

[Anastasia]

Ahead and onward - and ahead is a simple end to the path, to where a small pebble rests.

[Nephrite]

Moore will lean down to pick it up - he has no reason to fear what may happen when he does!

[Anastasia]

About a foot away, your hand bounces away from the pebble. Pushed back by an unseen force, unable to touch it.

[Nephrite]

"Ah... silly me." Moore says. "Hm... how about if it comes to me?"

He is going to try the same thing as he did with the arch, except just raise the ground up slightly so the pebble will just roll down and he'll put his hand down at the bottom for it to fall into.

[Anastasia]

Nothing happens - the area around it simply does not react to you.

[Nephrite]

"...Hm." Moore says, then he snaps his fingers like he thought of something, as he creates a pebble of his own in his hand!

Then he gently rolls the pebble along the ground to see if it will get stopped or roll on to hit the other one!

[Anastasia]

The pebble rolls right through and hits the other one.

"Well reasoned," Cresiel agrees, "And it looks fruitful and worth the effort."

"I hope that works," Jetina agrees.

[Nephrite]

"One of you grab it then for me, please." Moore says as he creates another pebble to hit this one again, hopefully rolling it right into someone's hand!

[22:58] <Nephrite> roll 1d20+45 charisma

[Anastasia]

Kaja snatches up the pebble - you got it!

At the same time it settles over all of you. A miasma of rage, a miasma of seething, unthinking fury. It's like a tidal wave of it, drowning out anything else beneath the inevitability of hatred, of fury.

[Nephrite]

Moore's been in the presence of both Gathgorian and Bel before -- well, Bel in a fake vision, but still. Does he feel like this is likely one of them?

[Anastasia]

No, it does not.

[Nephrite]

Moore frowns as he's struck by that feeling. "I don't think that's from either Bel or Gathgorian." He says.

"They might've brought something else with them. Either knowingly or unknowingly." He adds as he turns to start heading back. "I'm going to protect us and bolster our strength in case we run into something."

He will start re-doing Inspire Courage, Greatness and Heroics on everyone as they go back. Assuming nothing stops this from happening, anyway.

[Anastasia]

Concentration check.
