Endless rise above

[Nephrite]

"...Hm." Moore says. "...Well, perhaps we should finish what we came here for originally. If we go further in, he may come back."

[Anastasia]

"He might," Sylvie agrees, "We can't let this stop us - we have a goal."

"Just one point," Cresiel speaks up, "How did the ones here get past him in the first place?"

[Nephrite]

"I wonder if they predate this thing." Moore suggests. "Or, perhaps they predate it coming back to life."

[Anastasia]

"It's also no matter, our mission has not changed," Cresiel declares, "We need to proceed on and finish this."

[Nephrite]

Moore nods.

He turns and will continue back the way they were originally going!

[Anastasia]

Perception and I'll call for the others if you don't cut it, Moore.

[Nephrite]

Take 10 for 97.

[Anastasia]

Gimme Jetina and Xandra then.

[Nephrite]

[22:33] <Nephrite> roll 1d20+54+25 Jetina
[22:34] <Kobot> Nephrite rolled 1d20+54+25 Jetina --> [ 1d20=8 ]{87}
[22:34] <Nephrite> roll 1d20+68+25 Xandra
[22:34] <Kobot> Nephrite rolled 1d20+68+25 Xandra --> [ 1d20=12 ]{105}

[Anastasia]

You fly on. As you do, returning back the way you came?

'Below,' Xandra's voice is in all of your minds. 'He resides just below us, in the dead flesh.'

[Nephrite]

All right. Let's proceed and see if he comes up to attack us. I wonder if he's curious now.

Moore will proceed on!

[Anastasia]

Thus you go on. On and on and past it - no sign of an attack. Is it just watching you now?

[Nephrite]

"Let's go to where the 'core' of this thing is. Perhaps we can devise a way there to free him from it." Moore says. "Or, at the very least, it may give us more insight as to how they're connected."

[Anastasia]

"Onward," Cresiel confirms.

Perception one more time, need a new check for reasons.

[Nephrite]

Take 10 for 97.

If the others are needed:

[12:04] <Nephrite> roll 1d20+54+25 Jetina
[12:04] <Kobot> Nephrite rolled 1d20+54+25 Jetina --> [ 1d20=10 ]{89}
[12:04] <Nephrite> roll 1d20+68+25 Xandra
[12:04] <Kobot> Nephrite rolled 1d20+68+25 Xandra --> [ 1d20=18 ]{111}
