Labalyn's memorial

[Nephrite]

I'm not sure Jetina had anything with divine power to do, so go Cresiel!

[Anastasia]

Divine blasts, Moore!

As Sylvie sends you a momentary message, Cresiel defends Moore.

He's a bind for this too, so he's making sure Moore enjoys shield mate's AC bonus.

Meanwhile the chains come, relentless and pounding away as the blood creatures hold their ground. They do not relent, they do not tire, they only attack with singleminded devotion.

> roll 1d20+80
<Penuche> Kotono invokes Penuche's magic: < 95 > [d20=15]

But again your defenses hold for now, mage armors and blessings enough to keep them at bay, heroism leading to great dodges.

Go.

[Nephrite]

Divine blasts only hit one target, so he does like Sylvie, except...

Wish for a higher-powered version of Flame Strike. maybe it can hit the rest of the creatures?

[22:17] <Nephrite> roll 15d6 flamestrike
[22:17] <Penuche> Nephrite invokes Penuche's magic: < 59 > [d6=6,4,1,5,4,4,2,3,5,4,4,4,6,5,2


DC 45 reflex.

[Anastasia]

> roll 1d20+22
<Penuche> Kotono invokes Penuche's magic: < 27 > [d20=5]

More of them splatter and are gone, the numbers thinning. At this the remainder are perhaps half a dozen, scattered about as Sylvie mimics you, a wider band flame strike slamming down as she chants, magic warped and twisted to her command.

> roll 1d20+22
<Penuche> Kotono invokes Penuche's magic: < 30 > [d20=8]

> roll 15d6
<Penuche> Kotono invokes Penuche's magic: < 50 > [d6=3,2,5,2,6,3,4,1,1,2,3,4,4,4,6]

The numbers crumble from there - between multiple expanded flame strikes the numbers are broken, the way cleared. Silence falls, the prisoners silent once more.

Free act.

[Nephrite]

"I imagine everyone is in the same place at the bottom." Moore says. "Let's hurry, I have no reason to believe they're in immediate danger, but I don't think they're safe."

[Anastasia]

"Haste now, our foe is relentless," Cresiel seconds quietly, already moving.

Marching order?

[Nephrite]

Moore, Cresiel, Sylvie, Jetina.

[Anastasia]

Thus you proceed on into the silent hall. Ahead lies yet another stairwell. This one has no cells, but countless corpses hang here from nooses. Some are long, some are short. All are dead bodies - so many layered within each other somehow, far more in the space available than should be possible.

[Nephrite]

"This is..." Moore takes in a breath.

"I really want to meet the Guardian now, just so that we can beat some sense into them." He says as he proceeds. "This is deplorable."

[Anastasia]

"...help..." One voice amid the many whispers.

"Mercy," a second pleads.

'Free us,' A third voice hisses in your mind, like that of a snake. 'Eternal torment at the gate of death is our punishment.'

"I just wanted to save my wife," A fourth voice pleads, that of a sobbing man. "Maylee!"

"I had to get out. I had to get out," A toneless voice chants, "They caught me. They caught me."

Another one, a gruff old man's voice cracking, "Run, there is no mercy here."

Cresiel's expression could be carved from stone, hard and unyielding. "There are many of the righteous here, and those untainted by evil occupy many other places. This is no punishment of the damned, many of these hanged souls are unworthy of damnation."

[Nephrite]

"We will put an end to this place." Moore says, with a healthy dose of finality as they go by.

I know none of you have any reason to believe your torment will be ending soon. I only ask you hold on a little bit longer, hope is here for those of you that seek it. He says to all who will listen.

[Anastasia]

Pleas for mercy.

Whispers of thanks.

Mocking laughter.

All of that and more tumbles forth as you proceed down this prison, but the way ahead is barred. Instead of another hall, there is a single, rusty iron door ahead at the bottom of these stairs.

[Nephrite]

Take 10 for 113 on Spellcraft, 118 on K:A.

[12:27] <Nephrite> roll 1d20+35 CL check
[12:27] <Penuche> Nephrite invokes Penuche's magic: < 54 > [d20=19]

I think last time it came back with nothing, which is what I expect here.

Arcane Sight is still up too.

Moore simply tries to open it the normal way you'd open a door!

[Anastasia]

The door opens into a small, dead end cell. The walls are rusted iron, pitted with drawings and indentations. Score marks, marks covering every inch of it, denoting day after day after day. The floor is lightly covered in rubble and mold, while there is no bed. It is stone silent within.

It tries.

Every bit of power against you screams to enter, that this is where you are meant to be.

Yet your new, divine nature is above such blandishments.

Jetina says, "No, you're wrong. This isn't where I belong!" Her voice rises into a shout, "Never!"

Sylvie cracks her knuckles, "Points for effort, but you lose all of them for thinking that would slow us down."

[Nephrite]

"We're done with your games, Guardian." Moore says. "Show us to our friends so we can speak of what the Incarnation of Balance entrusted you."
