Shake the dust off your feet

[Ebiris]

Well, this seems like a blue room alright, so Marie finds an out of the way spot to wait.

That might be the succubus we're looking for. Just be patient.

[Anastasia]

Hopefully. Shouldn't be long, power plays or not. Beings of this power are dangerous enough that rudeness is folly.

[Ebiris]

Hopefully the succubus isn't too powerful, it'll be hard to get information out of her peacefully if so.

Non-peacefully is fine too though, Marie can work with that if she has to.

[Anastasia]

The succubus struts in - beautiful. Lush, ripe, full. To the point of near absurdity - she's lucky she doesn't have to worry about back pain, you can tell that much. All she wears is some body paint, strutting in like she owns the room.

Medlyn watches, a distinctly unimpressed posture. "It's done."

"Excellent!" The succubus laughs, all warmth and pleasure and subtle, hidden hate. A layer of contempt that poisons the beautiful sound. "All dead?"

"Dead." Is Medlyn's agreement. "Souls captured and offered."

The succubus struts over, her dark hair like a black curtain down her back. "You have my gratitude," she comes close but doesn't touch him. "Now that will cover some of you-URK!"

Medlyn's hand shoots out, grabbing the demon by the throat. "Our debt is settled in full." His voice is heavy and final. "Save your games for the cattle."

With eyes that glow with baleful red light, "I'll see your soul scream for this!" The succubus snarls, gasping it out as her throat is pressed harder.

"And risk Talona's disfavor?" Cold contempt as she is let go, "Our business is concluded, Mymtha."

[Ebiris]

Oh dear, hopefully he doesn't try and kill her. Marie needs her for information!

Any magic on the succubus? Duelist's friend confirm it's Mymtha?

[Anastasia]

Duelist's friend confirms it. The succubus has a lot of magic. Nondetection (not strong enough to stop you), dark beauty (custom +charisma spell, looks like), death ward and Mymtha's seal (stops diseases and poison, custom spell).

[Ebiris]

Cool. Watching how the rest of the meeting plays out.

[Anastasia]

"Go," Mymtha spits, massaging her neck as Medlyn turns and walks right out. Once gone Mymtha sinks to her knees, a fist to the ground. Again. Again. Hot tears leak from her eyes, vile green tears that leave steaming tracks down her cheeks.

"I hate him," A bare whispers. "I hate him. I hate him. I hate him." A mantra, clung to. "Why does he hate me?" A strangled whisper, rawer. "We could rule this entire city together."

[Ebiris]

What about Plag and Yarus? Seems like there's problems in the way of that!

Anyway she'll probably be able to resist it but just in case maybe she can detect some juicy surface thoughts?

[17:38] <@Ebiris> roll 1d20+38 CL to get by the nondetection
[17:38] <Kobot> Ebiris rolled 1d20+38 CL to get by the nondetection --> [ 1d20=13 ]{51}

DC 27 will.

[Anastasia]

> roll 1d20+18
<Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+18 --> [ 1d20=4 ]{22}

In this state she doesn't resist you coherently.

Right now her thoughts are a jumble of anger and scorned hurt, all thinking about Medlyn.

[Ebiris]

That's no good, she's interested in Yarus! Marie strikes while the iron is hot however with a more invasive mind-reading scheme!

Probe Thoughts, DC 44 will negates

[18:15] <@Ebiris> roll 1d20+38 CL vs nondetection
[18:15] <Kobot> Ebiris rolled 1d20+38 CL vs nondetection --> [ 1d20=12 ]{50}
[18:15] <@Ebiris> roll 1d20+40 CL vs SR
[18:15] <Kobot> Ebiris rolled 1d20+40 CL vs SR --> [ 1d20=20 ]{60}

Who is Yarus?

[Anastasia]

> roll 1d20+18
<Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+18 --> [ 1d20=8 ]{26}

Her master, owner and lover. As much as she hates the last part.

[Ebiris]

I'm in her head, just be patient and we can be out of here with no one the wiser.

What is Yarus?

[Anastasia]

Yarus is divine and gifted by Shar, the Lady of Loss.

[Ebiris]

Good confirmation that it's their guy!

Where is Yarus?
