Shake the dust off your feet

[Ebiris]

Nothing meaningful, she works for Loviatar but she's heard of a demon - not daemon - called Yarus who's sometimes seen here, she's never seen him.

[Anastasia]

A problem for another day.

d100 and Perception again.

[Anastasia]

You wander a little time until a particular dretch catches your eye. Its name is Shannath, but one part sticks out. The basic information of him mentions that he serves Yarus.

[Ebiris]

Marie avoids staring directly at the dretch as she pauses and sweeps her gaze around, being all scary and imposing as balors tend to be. When you're not a legendary heroine who chews greater demons up for breakfast anyway.

What's he doing and what's he thinking about?

DC 27 on detect thoughts for surface thoughts.

[Anastasia]

> roll 1d100
<Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d100 --> [ 1d100=42 ]{42}

He's currently imaging how he'll brutally beat a succubus and then do all sorts of things to be best undescribed. Seems to have one in mind too. Black hair, haughty face, a sneer.

You're suddenly glad you can't get ill or be mentally disturbed by horrors.

[Ebiris]

Marie is made of stern stuff, she's seen some shit!

Does make her rather want to turn this dretch into a smear on the wall, but she'll hold herself back for the mission, and probe that cesspit of a mind more deeply.

Probe thoughts via miracle emulation, DC 44 will negates

[16:52] <@Ebiris> roll 1d20+38 SR
[16:52] <Kobot> Ebiris rolled 1d20+38 SR --> [ 1d20=11 ]{49}

First question: Who is Yarus?

[Anastasia]

Yarus is his master, though he serves indirectly through another servant since there's a chain of command.

[Ebiris]

He might've rolled a 20 on that save! I'd have just tried again but still.

Next question: Who delivers Yarus's will to you?

[Anastasia]

Oh wow, I'm an idiot. Let me roll it real quick.

> roll 1d20+6
<Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+6 --> [ 1d20=10 ]{16}

A creature named Mymtha. A leering, sneering succubus with black hair who looks rather familiar.

[Ebiris]

Funny how that works.

Where can Mymtha be found?

[Anastasia]

Mymtha can be found in Scarlain Keep, usually in the Blue Room.

[Ebiris]

What do you do for Mymtha?

[Anastasia]

Whatever needs to be done. Odd tasks, fetching things, minor assassinations (rare due to the fact it's a mere dretch, even if a stronger and smarter one than the norm, it thinks) patrolling, being a watchman, torturing captives. Anything that needs to be done.

[Ebiris]

Marie's flaming balor eyes glare viciously at a passing emaciated vrock as if it had done her some grave wrong, her presence merely looming and looking scary for the moment as she digs into the humble dretch's mind.

How strong is Yarus?
