Gearing up (Moore, Ithea)

[Anastasia]

Ekelo is the name of a tulani who was last seen on Androlynne. It's generally assumed he died defending the lost eladrin children there centuries ago.

[Merc]

"So what did you do with my friends? I mean, I'm beginning to think you don't have them stashed here, given you're trying to keep me out of here," Ithea asks loudly in the direction ahead of her as she continues exploring.

What skills are appropriate here? Spot/Listen? Search?

[Anastasia]

Search is good.

[Merc]

[21:38] <Merc> roll d20+12 search
[21:38] <Kobot> Merc rolled d20+12 search --> [ 1d20=6 ]{18}

[Anastasia]

Ithea pokes around a little while, going on down. The first few doors are unremarkable rooms, nothing interesting there. As you go, "I killed them!" The voice challenges, "Quiver at the name of Zallae!"

The hall goes a little further and down a set of stairs. But as you go, you can see a few gemstones, glittering and bright with your light, lying on the top stairs.

[Merc]

Ithea pauses momentarily, more drawn to the voice's statement than the gemstones, before deciding the voice is lying. "Well if you killed them, I clearly must avenge them and murder you in the most painful of ways, drawn out for as long as I can, bringing you to the brink of death, heal you, and start all over. All until your mind is broken to itty bitty useless pieces and then and only then put you out of your misery. I'm spiteful that way just so you know."

That said, Ithea takes the time to focus her mage sight on the gemstones and giving a cautionary search for traps around them. Seems kind of random to just have gemstones lying there, really.

[22:06] <Merc> roll d20+42 K:P (Zallae)
[22:06] <Kobot> Merc rolled d20+42 K:P (Zallae) --> [ 1d20=14 ]{56}

[22:06] <Merc> roll d20+40 spellcraft
[22:06] <Kobot> Merc rolled d20+40 spellcraft --> [ 1d20=8 ]{48}
[22:06] <Merc> roll d20+12 search (trapfinding, why not)
[22:07] <Kobot> Merc rolled d20+12 search (trapfinding, why not) --> [ 1d20=2 ]{14}

[Anastasia]

Ah, Zallae. The name of a particularly odd Inevitable. A female one who thought trying to act like a succubus to infiltrate them was a good idea. Didn't work out and suffice to say, no Zallae II was ever commissioned.

"You can't stand my power, little cat," The voice sneers, "I am invincible! I am unbelievable! I am unstoppable!"

The gemstones don't radiate magic.

[Merc]

"Well, I'll certainly agree to you being unbelievable," Ithea retorts as she approaches the stairs. Before she picks them up, she'll do one last cursory search for traps, and if not finding anything, put the gems away before taking the stairs down.

[22:07] <Merc> roll d20+12 search/trapfinding
[22:07] <Kobot> Merc rolled d20+12 search/trapfinding --> [ 1d20=11 ]{23}

[Anastasia]

No sign of traps. But as you search, "You know what? You're boring. You bore me." The voice is suddenly cold. "Go away, now!"

Will save. Mind-affecting. SR applies, but tell me if immune first.

[Merc]

Still have Mind Blank up. So yes, immune.

[Anastasia]

But nothing happens, as Ithea finds there are no traps ahead.

[Merc]

"Because telling me to go away has worked all those other times, riiiiight," Ithea notes as she picks up the gems and puts them away before descending the stairs.

[Anastasia]

This time it all goes wrong. There's suddenly a massive burst, as all around Ithea explodes.

> roll 1d6
<Kobot> Ko-Kappafear rolled 1d6 --> [ 1d6=5 ]{5}
> roll 1d20+25 SR (+3 wild magic, +2 spell penetration, +2 greater spell penetration)
<Kobot> Ko-Kappafear rolled 1d20+25 SR (+3 wild magic, +2 spell penetration, +2 greater spell penetration) --> [ 1d20=10 ]{35}

Does that beat your spell resistance, Ithea?

[Merc]

It does, sadly! SR is 34.

[Anastasia]

> roll 21d8+21 force damage
<Kobot> Ko-Kappafear rolled 21d8+21 force damage --> [ 21d8=87 ]{108}

Ref save, Ithea.
