Forever lies ahead

[Anastasia]

Thus everyone gets to work and...

Go ahead.

[Iron Dragoon]

"Okay, where do we want to start? Greaves or parts?"

[Anastasia]

Dolmaya sits back in thought before, "The parts. The greaves are a side show," she declares, "If a proxy spark can be extracted, that's more valuable than anything the greaves have."

[Iron Dragoon]

"What if more than a proxy spark is there? Could his divine power still be present?"

[Anastasia]

"I don't know," Dolmaya says openly, "If it's more, we'll consult an expert rather than risk something going awry."

[Iron Dragoon]

Alyssa nods, "Well, where to start. I sensed an awareness as well."

[Anastasia]

"Start there?" Dolmaya suggests.

[Iron Dragoon]

Alyssa nods and begins examining the blood, looking for signs of the awareness and power, trying to puzzle out the nature of it and the demon lord it came from.

[Anastasia]

Give me a Perception check and a Will save.

[Iron Dragoon]

Perception:

[blockquote]Rolled 1d20+64 : 16 + 64, total 80[/blockquote]

Will/Cunning Insight:

[blockquote]Rolled 1d20+55 : 6 + 55, total 61[/blockquote]

[Anastasia]

It's not hard to feel - a presence. An angry presence, but fractured, broken. It's clustered around a bright spark of power. Like a tiny fragment of divine power - something you instinctually recognize as a proxy spark. After all, you gave one to Dolmaya.

[Iron Dragoon]

"There's definitely a proxy spark there. Whatever fractured mind is there is gathering around it."

[Anastasia]

"Too bad it has to go," Dolmaya says, not sounding sorry at all.

[Iron Dragoon]

"Hmm..."

Any way to separate the two? Isolate one from the other so it doesn'tinterfere?

[Anastasia]

You think you could with sufficiently strong magic, yes.

Something like unbinding might work or a similarly mighty spell that specializes in it, or perhaps magic related to the soul, or your raw divine will.
