Shake the dust off your feet

[Anastasia]

The portal indeed strips away your possessions unless it can verify you're a follower of Talona. Mind blank would stop the determination but not the loss of possessions.

The other side is a simple entryway above a pool of blackened fluids, flesh the ground and floor.

[Ebiris]

Is there a way to stop the loss of possessions?

[Anastasia]

You think a wish or miracle could, sure, but it might be noticed if anyone's paying attention.

[Ebiris]

Someone surely is paying attention.

However, we do have the appearance of naked demons (see, she wasn't being gratuitous she was planning ahead) so if we can fool the portal it at least won't look out of place to anyone looking at us on the other side.

So is it a case that the magic of the miracle will be detected, or is it a check on what's seen arriving?

Can bluff or use magic device help spoof it in a less obvious fashion?

[Anastasia]

UMD could, sure.

[Ebiris]

Just spoof it into thinking you like Talona otherwise it'll steal your things, she messages Jessica. Not like it matters too much as their avatar belongings can't really be stolen, but she still wants to benefit from Fantasia for this mission.

Marie then steps through the portal!

You come through and sure enough, you manage to keep your possessions. It's exactly what you saw, walls of dead flesh around you, the scent of rot everywhere.

[Ebiris]

Marie uses miracle to emulate Find the Path pointing her to the head of Dead Rat's Nest.

Wonder which part of the rat they're inside now?

[Anastasia]

CL check, someone's laid down wards. Probably not that surprising in a demiplane with lots of cleric types.

[Ebiris]

[17:14] <@Ebiris> roll 1d20+38
[17:14] <Kobot> Ebiris rolled 1d20+38 --> [ 1d20=14 ]{52}

[Anastasia]

You can feel pulled ahead, the path revealed to you.

[Ebiris]

Flapping big leathery wings, Marie starts flying in the direction pulled, amidst the nasty rotting surroundings.

[Anastasia]

Jessica follows. As you do, your keen vision lets you notice something. Occasionally bits of flesh open up, sets of eyes glimpsed beyond. Subtle, always at the edge of you vision, but demonic eyes watch you as you go forward.

[Ebiris]

Detect thoughts used, and greater arcane sight is already up.

Are those eyes a spell, or a creature(s) with intelligence scores?

[18:09] <@Ebiris> roll 1d20+38 CL if required
[18:09] <Kobot> Ebiris rolled 1d20+38 CL if required --> [ 1d20=17 ]{55}

[Anastasia]

> roll 1d20+11
<Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+11 --> [ 1d20=10 ]{21}

Creatures. Intelligence scores of 12 to 20 or so, generally.
