Elementary anarch with Baleruk (Moore)

[Anastasia]

You soon meet Baleruk in his lair. No sign of 27 this time, the prismatic dragon pacing and waiting. "At last," he declares, "We will leave immediately! A suitable wizard is waiting for us."

[Nephrite]

"I apologize for keeping you waiting.  May I ask who that is who is also waiting on us?" Moore says as he flies over.

[Anastasia]

"Tepen awaits us," Baleruk declares, "He will LEAD US TO LIMBO!" The prismatic dragon's tail thumps down, coins rattling beneath it.

[Nephrite]

"Oh." Moore nods. He figured Baleruk could just get them there, but... he's not going to argue!

[Anastasia]

The two of you find Tepen waiting for you at the gates. He's dressed as he always is, giving Baleruk an impassive look. "Are we ready? Haven't forgotten anything?"

Baleruk merely stares at him, eyes narrow.

[Nephrite]

"You never know what you've forgotten until you need it, right?" Moore says with a bit of a laugh. "Thank you, Elder Magi."

[Anastasia]

That seems to lighten the mood, enough for Tepen to smile and head on out. A zone of air surrounds him, water hedged out. "Fly," he suggests, calling back, "Or you'll fall into the water." It's quite a large zone - a circle over a hundred feet in diameter, with Tepen in the middle. Plenty of space, even enough for Baleruk to cram himself in. Once done he intones a few words and a shimmering blue portal appears, crackling with fire and lightning.

[Nephrite]

"We'll see you in a... well, we'll see you soon." Moore says as he goes to fly into the portal after Baleruk! It wouldn't serve to get lost in Limbo.

[Anastasia]

Chaos. Swirling. Reality flips upside down and then upright, around and around like a broken top. You stand in open air and flames, but only for a second. Limbo simply stops around Baleruk, becoming a flat plain of scorched earth and open air above you. Farther away is unchecked Limbo, but everything within hundreds of feet of you is stable.

"This is the power of a true anarch," Baleruk intones, "You are not a true anarch, but you have some talent. Use it. Use it any way you can imagine. Create everything. LEAVE NOTHING OUT!"

[Nephrite]

"As you wish." Moore nods.

Let me know what to roll for the anarch checks here.


With that, he takes a breath and reaches into his mind. Songs, dances, art -- all of these things come naturally to some people and for others, it does not. He calls on his inner motivations, his inner spirits, and a little bit of luck, to bring forth the very picture of inspiration. He will paint the very perfect scene, with the perfect performers using his mind. Oh, and I suppose his anarch powers.

The idea is to almost paint a picture with his anarch powers of his inspirations. I guess you could say it's a Perform check of some nature, but I leave that up to you. If you need me to be more specific I certainly can be.

[Anastasia]

Please be more specific, yes.

[Nephrite]

Okay. First he will try to paint, using his anarch powers, what is effectively a visual representation of the Words of Creation (as he understands them) for Inspire Courage.

[Anastasia]

Okay, make an anarch check.

[Nephrite]

[20:31] <Nephrite> roll 1d20+9
[20:31] <Penuche> Nephrite invokes Penuche's magic: < 12 > [d20=3]

[Anastasia]

No good. Moore tries, but Limbo's just not listening to him at all.
