Tryll's Paragon Quest (Tryll)

[Yuthirin]

'My first inclination would be to reach out to Morwel or Lathander. I'm not too familiar with any of the lesser gods.'

[Anastasia]

"Yes, because lightly bothering greater powers ends well for the impudent," Sage Vul'lath gives you a long, steady look. "I have had fortune in contacting the Red Knight for matters of tactics and planning before, so long as I am properly respectful. Auril is willing to answer questions about winter so long as you make an offering to the coldest season before the spell is cast. Lliira is aidful and kind, but I have been overwhelmed by her before solely by her sheer joyous happiness."

The githyanki clears his throat and coughs into his hand, "A factor that is not widely known but true is that whom you contact and any relations you have with them do matter. Were the caster a devout worshiper in favored standing with the deity contacted, the spell may act more like Commune and with no chance of insanity. Were we stupid enough to contact a Lord of the Nine, our minds would be devoured like ants."

[Yuthirin]

'Well, that's less than pleasant. I suggested Morwel because she likes us, and Lathander because he's the one that set us on this path. Do you have a god or being you would prefer to reach out to? A sort of go-to god?'

[Anastasia]

Sage Vul'lath's expression becomes cooler, "The githyanki are ill advised to worship, as it draws the ire of Queen Vlaakith. Few survive this ire, and those few wish they did not." He pauses to cough into his hand, "Nonetheless, I have enjoyed some success petitioning the Red Knight and Auril, as I mentioned, Lliira as well. In this matter I feel we must reach out to whom the spell would direct it to, for I am not wholly clear on who would have dominion over paragons, if any deity does."

[Yuthirin]

'I get the inclination that there isn't any one god that governs paragons, but allowing the spell to find its own way may be best.'

[Anastasia]

"Very well, we're agreed. Do you have your questions ready?" Vul'lath asks.

[Yuthirin]

'I do have a few: In the process of completing the ritual, would such a completion convert me into another being if I agree? Would it instead place me back into a living irrigo body? Would a detached bit of ectoplasm suffice in place of blood? Also, are there any hidden costs in the ritual that we have not yet discerned?'

[Anastasia]

Cool. OOC one sec, any other questions or are we good here. Next post will be resolving it if so.

[Yuthirin]

Yeah I think I'm set on the questions. Alswers w2ill tell us where to go next.

[Anastasia]

> roll 1d20+10 Int check
<Serith> Kotono roll for Serith < 30 > [d20=20]

Aced it. I won't show the rolls for truth for spoiler reasons.

Sage Vul'lath rises. "Your answer are, in order: No, no, yes, unknown."

[Yuthirin]

'Acceptable. Those are all the questions I have for now, I believe. I must consult a trusted linguist. If we have one.'

[Anastasia]

"Tepen is excellent, though I am capable as well," Sage Vul'lath says, going to sit after the spell.

[Yuthirin]

'Yes, but you've already been over the text. I want to make sure nothing's snuck by us, you see. I don't doubt your capabilities, but over caution is easier than disaster.'

[Anastasia]

Okay, next move then?

[Yuthirin]

Tepen!
