The gift of ash

[Anastasia]

Ask him to and he'll do it, he just needs a quick IC prompt.

[Nephrite]

Cresiel, can you muster a Celestial Valor? He may counter or dispel it, but I'd like to test it out. Moore asks.

[Anastasia]

"Light of Celestia, shine now and forever," Cresiel intones, a sharp gesture of his hand as magic settles over all of you.

Celestial valor as asked. Go Kaja.

[Nephrite]

He's going in to Dervish and basically hope that the various buffs will keep him safe from reprisals.

[21:26] <Nephrite> I forgot to reduce the roll from 62 to 57 so those should be 5 lower as a note for myself

I am guessing 3 crits, 5 hits?

EDIT: ALL THOSE SHOULD BE 4 HIGHER because of Celestial Valor, fuck me. So basically does 116 hit?

[Anastasia]

Yes, yes it does.

[Nephrite]

I think those numbers are right, I 4xed the base damage he adds but not the extra bonus damage from songs / dervish dance / whatever.

[Anastasia]

Any non dice (except the base damage dice), numerical damage is affected by crits. So those are short.

[Nephrite]

Whoops, in that case please add 588 to the damage.

[Anastasia]

Kaja comes in - and amid dances and blows, the archon is forced to a knee. Then down, going still. "U..ugh..." it manages, "Is...this the power of the gods?" he manages. He doesn't get up, and the back wall slides open as a new door is revealed.

"Forgive...my hubris..."

[Nephrite]

Moore kneels down and puts a hand on his shoulder and channels a Heal into him.

"I don't think it to be hubris, my friend." Moore says with a smile. "You are strong beyond many I've fought. Should you be dismissed from this place, or wish to travel, please come to Hope's Landing and we can speak more."

[Anastasia]

The defeated archon lies there as his wounds mend. "I thank you for your generosity."

[Nephrite]

"I met a gnome a few weeks ago." Moore says with a smile. "I can't imagine being that lonely." A pat to his shoulder before he flies towards the new path!

[Anastasia]

"We're in trouble if we find a foe who is worthy to stop your swords," Cresiel observes.

"When I meet one, I'll make sure you know it." Kaja's retort is easy, "I'm sure one exists."

[Nephrite]

"Yes, please feel free to speak to us further." Moore says.

[Anastasia]

Perception for the next bit, Moore?
