Relief

[Nephrite]

There never is, but he knows in his heart what will happen.

With that, he sits down to wait - there is nothing to do but that at this point.

He knows it will all work out.

Because there is always hope.

[Anastasia]

Give me 5d100, each rolled separately.

[Nephrite]

[13:06] <Nephrite> roll 5#1d100
[13:06] <Rei-chan> Nephrite rolled : 5#1d100 --> [ 1d100=62 ]{62}, [ 1d100=7 ]{7}, [ 1d100=42 ]{42}, [ 1d100=38 ]{38}, [ 1d100=74 ]{74}

If there was ever a time I actually wanted to see a 7, it would be now, actually.

[Anastasia]

How long are you going to give if no word comes back or nothing seems to happen?

[Nephrite]

At least a day - he's pretty sure he'll have some sort of notice of at least pass or fail on the operation.

[Anastasia]

Give me three checks, you want high here. First is 1d100+5, second is 1d100+25 and the third is 1d100+30.

[Nephrite]

[14:21] <Rei-chan> Nephrite rolled : 1d100+5 --> [ 1d100=74 ]{79}
[14:21] <Nephrite> roll 1d100+25
[14:21] <Rei-chan> Nephrite rolled : 1d100+25 --> [ 1d100=21 ]{46}
[14:21] <Nephrite> roll 1d100+30
[14:21] <Rei-chan> Nephrite rolled : 1d100+30 --> [ 1d100=60 ]{90}

[Anastasia]

Some time passes - until slowly, a blood red portal begins to open.

[Nephrite]

Moore simply waits.

Now is not yet the time to do anything, so he keeps an eye on this from a mile away.

Because there is always hope.

[Anastasia]

The Grand Master, stumbles through, bloodied all over. He coughs several times, on one knee. Great, gasping gulps of air follow as he slowly recovers.

The portal stays open.

[Nephrite]

Moore, under normal circumstances, would fly to his aid.

But right now, he has to stay where he is.

'You do not need me to tell you of your success.' Moore sends to him. 'I am a little over a mile north of where you are now out of line of sight of who is following you. I would come to your aid to heal you, but right now... you know above all else why I cannot. Use the holy wisdom of Celestia to guide what you should do now - I trust in its wisdom. Elysium will protect you, I have no doubt in my mind.'

Because there is always hope.

[Anastasia]

Charisma check.

[Nephrite]

[21:10] <Nephrite> roll 1d20+63 Charisma check
[21:10] <Rei-chan> Nephrite rolled : 1d20+63 Charisma check --> [ 1d20=18 ]{81}

[Anastasia]

'The Hecatoncheires,' The Grand Master begins, words in your mind words of warning. 'It may follow, but it is dreadful and wroth.'

[Nephrite]

'Then that is what the will of Celestia will have me face today.' Is his response. 'Get to safety.'
