Silken touch

[Anastasia]

Antenora is stone faced, silent. Her gaze meets the faraway creature.

[Ebiris]

Not much help there.

From either side.

"And who entrusted you with such purpose?"

[Anastasia]

Chaos.

[Ebiris]

Potentially alarming, but it's worth remembering the Incarnation of Chaos wasn't always the way it is now.

Still.

"Creation was made to find an answer," a clear unambiguous statement, but concerning something she's fully confident nothing on this plane can possibly twist into a lie. "I believe it should be left to those of Creation to decide its outcome, regardless of who originally made it."

[Anastasia]

Soon.

Will you stand on the Last Day?

[Ebiris]

"If the Last Day arrives then it means I have already died fighting to prevent it," Alicia answers.

It better not just catch her off guard anyway!

[Anastasia]

Alicia, something's changed. The realm seems withdrawn, it's not projecting the same properties. The truth feels more radiant.

[Ebiris]

Alicia looks to see if anything's physically changed or emerged at this point, then.

[17:06] <@Ebiris> roll 1d20+97 perception
[17:06] <Penuche> Ebiris invokes Penuche's magic: < 102 > [d20=5]

[Anastasia]

Physically no.

The emerald you wear grows warm.

You can see clearer. Something retreats. Formless, shapeless, meaningless perhaps. But it retreats nonetheless.

Will you sell your life dearly then, goddess?

[Ebiris]

"If I have anything to say about it? The price will be too high for those who say different to afford," Alicia says, focusing on that retreating whatever.

No point just making it difficult but do-able after all.

[Anastasia]

May you survive the days ahead.

[Ebiris]

That calls for another sense motive.

[18:17] <@Ebiris> roll 1d20+137 sense motive, divine insight
[18:17] <Penuche> Ebiris invokes Penuche's magic: < 157 > [d20=20]

Huh, killing these checks at least.

[Anastasia]

It seems sincere.
