The Hanged Raven (Ithea)

[Merc]

"Reality is malleable, so long as one has the will to change it."

modifier is +54 if Neph wants to roll the listen check for me.

[Nephrite]

[15:59] <Nephrite> roll 1d20+54 Ithea Listen
[15:59] <Penuche> Nephrite invokes Penuche's magic: < 55 > [d20=1]

[Merc]

I should ban Neph from helping :(

[Anastasia]

Fortunately, your Listen modifier is still excellent.

Ithea hears a faint movement of air behind her.

[Merc]

Ithea twirls around, holding her glaive defensively! While she'd love to just thrust her glaive at the voice's source, it's just as likely going to be one of her allies. Hopefully. In the meantime, she keeps trying to wrest control of the area.

[21:12] <Merc> roll d20+8+8 anarch
[21:12] <Penuche> Merc invokes Penuche's magic: < 20 > [d20=4]

[Anastasia]

20ft behind you is a bloated figure. The corpse of a hung woman, noose still around her neck. What were once rich clothes are rotted ruins now, her flesh putrefied and dripping slowly. It stands in spite of having a snapped neck. Her head is not that of a human, but instead that of a raven. Beady red bird-eyes stare at Ithea, beak opening and closing without a sound.

[Merc]

Ithea arcs her head. "So, is this where we fight to see who gets to move on, servant of the Pale Night?"

Then she pauses and adds, "Or is this where you pull out an Ithea doll and ask for an autograph? Because apparently that's a thing you demons do."

Want to identify/confirm that's the Hanged Raven (seems fairly obvious, admittedly!) and get any useful information I can/trigger Knowledge Devotion:

[00:07] <Merc> roll d20+42 Assuming K:P is applicable. Same modifier for K:N/K:A/K:R as well. If it's something else...
[00:07] <Penuche> Merc invokes Penuche's magic: < 61 > [d20=19]

[Anastasia]

It is the Hanged Raven. She (?) is using her anarch powers to control everything, you think.

The creature pauses - no change in expression, but Ithea's words seem to momentarily daunt it.

[Merc]

Ithea again attempts to wrest control of the landscape. And since it seemed to have an impact (or maybe it was just the attitude but it didn't hurt any), Ithea adds some roughly made catfolk dolls into her mental image of felines overpowering ravens.

If she IS affected by Ithea plushies and somehow becomes peaceful, I'm going to die of laughter. I don't see it happening, but just thinking of it amuses me.

Also, someone roll an anarch roll for me. d20+16 (not Neph, he rolls terribly for others)

[Corwin]

[20:32] <VillagerA> roll 1d20+16
[20:32] <Penuche> VillagerA invokes Penuche's magic: < 20 > [d20=4]

[Anastasia]

Nothing happens. The will against you is too strong, as whatever you tried, it's stirred the Hanged Raven. She gestures as...

Init here.

[Merc]

I'm not gonna do combat by proxy. I'll roll when I get home.

[Anastasia]

So noted.

[Merc]

[21:31] <Merc> roll d20+22 init
[21:31] <Penuche> Merc invokes Penuche's magic: < 41 > [d20=19]

[Anastasia]

> roll 1d20+18 Hanged Raven
<Penuche> Kotono invokes Penuche's magic: < 22 > [d20=4]

Initaitive is Ithea (41) > Hanged Raven (22)

Open Ithea.
