The hunt for companionship (Calleigh)

[Anastasia]

Cool, what power are you using?

[Yuthirin]

Read Thoughts and Telepathy.

Very carefully NOT pointing Read Thoughts at the demons. 

[Anastasia]

Cool, what's the range on them? Further, do they need line of effect or sight?

[Yuthirin]

Read Thoughts is useless!

Telepathy's not though. 100 ft of range on that. No indication that anything can stop it, either. Unless specifically stated, of course. And doesn't need line of sight.

A creature with this ability can communicate telepathically with any other creature within a certain range (specified in the creature's entry, usually 100 feet) that has a language. It is possible to address multiple creatures at once telepathically, although maintaining a telepathic conversation with more than one creature at a time is just as difficult as simultaneously speaking and listening to multiple people at the same time.

[Anastasia]

Go ahead then, try something. You're firing relatively blind here, so bear that in mind.

[Yuthirin]

Projecting toward where he's pretty sure the cave is, Tryll sends, 'TESTING!'

[Anastasia]

You get a handful of yelps and surprised call-outs in your mind, about half a dozen or so.

[Yuthirin]

'Success! Hello!'

[Anastasia]

You get three replies.

'Hello?'

'Demon?'

'Who are you?'

[Yuthirin]

Presuming that primordial chaos, when presented with rigid and orderly mathematics, will lose its mind.

'Hello! A test, if you will! What is nine plus three, divided by two?'

[Anastasia]

There's a pause at that and...

> roll 1d20+3
<Rei-chan> Sunshine_Ko rolled : 1d20+3 --> [ 1d20=7 ]{10}

'Uh...10?' One voice offers after some hesitation.

[Yuthirin]

Tryll hones in on that voice, no longer transmitting to the others. 'Excellent! Hello! I am Tryll! Moonlight sent us. We are your extraction team. Would you mind letting us through? We are currently underground.'

[Anastasia]

'Hold on, I'm just a door guard,' he says, 'Trying to help hold off demons with the front line. Just...just wait. Give me a few.'

[Yuthirin]

'Take as long as you like, but remember that it's your time. You currently have a steadily-growing number of demons outside of your cave. Thousands of them. Lots of balors too. Eventually they will work their way in. Just a heads up.'

[Anastasia]

You wait a bit. Maybe 5 minutes, but it's hard to tell within solid matter. The only companion you have is the howling of Pandemonium's winds, howling so loud as to penetrate into the rocks of the plane.

Eventually, after a routine hello waiting for a reply, 'You're with Moonlight?' A man's voice, sharp and intense. 'Give me some proof. What weapon she's using, the color of her hair, something.'
