Cauldron Festival

[Corwin]

A spell of ghost touch for Yegola's weapon is her first response, while a similar spell settles over his armor and shield. 'I am with you,' her voice brushes against his thoughts. 'Shar must not regain a foothold in these parts. My trust rests with you.'

What's his level, btw, give or take?

"How curious!" she chirps, just short of gawking as she looks around the temple. "Oolu's been busy! Who is it for? Deep Sashelas?"

Actually, can I automatically tell by stepping into a temple? From a feeling, not a knowledge check?

[Anastasia]

From what you know IC, he's reasonably strong. OOC, you'd parse that to 10-12, give or take a bit. Mechnically something like fighter//rogue/skullclan hunter, ala Rosa but without a defensive focus.

'Thank you, my lady! I will be triumphant or lay my life down trying.'

"Yes, his priesthood came recently and instructed us,' the elf says, "You can go in, Oolu should be inside."

[Corwin]

"Sure thing. Thanks!" Seira skips inside, even as she leaves a portion of her mind focused on Yegola. He's not dying on her watch if she can help it.

[Anastasia]

He's facing off against minions for now - zombies lead by a minor necromancer. He's bulling through them, barely challenged. Until you feel it, a miasma of darkness around the skeletons, empowering them. Claws that strike surer and with darkness, the touch of Shar on them.

Within is largely wide corridors with sea elves - and by the altar deep within are two. One is a pretty sea elf, blushing as Oolu chats with her. "So," he says, "Really, she was pretty but you? Even better!"

[Corwin]

They've both aided their sides, except the difference is that Yegola is a person and her spiritual presence can give him comfort and hope. Whereas Shar could be there in person and her skeletons will still not care one bit, not capable of it.

"Oh, really? Thank, I do try!" she responds cheerfully to Oolu, skipping over.

[Anastasia]

"Ah! Seira!" Oolu turns right around, smiling. "Good to see you."

Oraga just follows, as the female sea elf watches, still blushing. "Ah....wait, did you say Seira?!"

[Corwin]

"Hey there!" Seira greets, drawing closer. "This is Oraga," she introduces next, with a graceful gesture at her side. "We were in the neighborhood, and no visit is complete without seeing my friends~"

[Anastasia]

<Rei-chan> Kotono rolled : 1d100 --> [ 1d100=66 ]{66}

Yegola's doing fine - these are still far weaker than he is, and the undead are falling, the necromancer next as he plunges deeper into the caverns ahead.

"Well, good timing," Oolu says, "I was just talking to Iridansa here, she's a servant of Deep Sashelas."

[Corwin]

"Pardon the intrusion," Seira says cheerfully. "And I bet you were~"

[Anastasia]

'Ah!" Iridansa gasps, a hand to her mouth as she stammers.

"Ahhahahahaa," Oolu laughs, floating up now in the waters. He speaks perfect Aquan, going on as, "How's Balmuria? I haven't looked in lately."

[Corwin]

"Expanding again," Seira responds, matching the language. "I might need to tweak the Mythal if it grows too far, but it should be good for now. I did get a glimpse of the future here and there before, after all. Oh! If you do stop by, there's a sweets shop filled with delicious candy and beautiful adventurers. Maybe take the kids over as a school trip?"

[Anastasia]

"Maybe I will," Oolu agrees, "Whimsical Sweets, right?"

[Corwin]

"So you do know them!" Seira burbles in Aquan. "And yes, it's quite the experience. You should do it!"

With the necromancer and minions down, the way onwards is cleared. Seira waits patiently to see whether it would be to a cleric of Shar, or one of her necromantic constructs.

[Anastasia]

Yegola continues to advance deeper in, seeking the source of the rot.

Meanwhile Oolu agrees, "Then I will. I've met a few of them before, they're good at what they do."

[Corwin]

She nods, having looked in herself now and then. "So there's that. I see you're doing quite well for yourself! How's Tynave? I was hoping to say hi to her as well. And are you interested in a link to the global portal network? We're going to be renovating it fairly soon, and it won't be too hard to put in a connection."
