Finding Calley

[Anastasia]

You fly across the bridge without difficulty. No super heavy gravity, no problem at all.

[Nephrite]

Moore turns and calls out. "As long as you've never been dishonest to the efreet you're fine to cross! If you have been, uhh... just... stay there I guess!"

[Anastasia]

Cresiel steps forward. "I am honest that I shall punish their sins." The solar steps forth and crosses, no problems at all.

Xandra merely follows, the trumpet archon undisturbed by any heavy gravity.

Kaja simply struts across, looking up as if to challenge it. Yet no gravity comes.

The dwarf scurries across while Jetina takes up the rear, "Well, that was easy," he says, "I wonder if...nevermind, let's go," he says.

[Nephrite]

"Yeah, I'll admit, I'm not convinced it actually does anything." Moore says with a shrug and continues on. "They really better have an entire army or something waiting for us at this point, jeez."

[Anastasia]

There is a door ahead, waiting to be opened.

[Nephrite]

Moore goes to open the door!

There'd better not be another black hole behind this one!!

[Anastasia]

You open the door. Ahead is a grand, open room - a sort of plaza, passages going in various directions. You hardly have a chance to look, for the enemy is here. Efreet behind lines of earth elementals of various sizes. Fire dwarves with hatches and bows, more behind the efreet line, hidden by sheer bulk.

"And there we go," Kaja smiles, "Thank you, everyone," he calls, "You saved us the trouble of tracking you down!"

[Nephrite]

Moore smiles himself as he raises his voice.

"Efreet of the Grand Sultan, dwarves and elementals. My name is Moore, Duke of Songs of Celestia. I'm sure you've heard of my exploits at Salty Pier already. I will give you all one opportunity to flee this place. If you do not, you will die here. That is your choice. Elementals, know that I have the backing of Crystalle and do not fear Ogremoch."

Going for Intimidate, realizing that some of them may be mind-blanked or immune to fear but also some of them may not be! Note to self, get an epic skill that allows for Intimidate to work on people who are immune to fear! Too bad Music of the Gods only works on songs :(

Take 10 for 93, using 15 Greater Improv points.

[Anastasia]

The moment you begin to speak, it happens. Spells fly, arrows are unleashed and hell erupts around you.

They took the punch them in the face tactic to a social encounter. Init.

[Nephrite]

How rude!

Everyone gets +15 to their init.

Moore

Init is Moore (56) > Cresiel (50) > Kaja (40) > Xandra (34) > Army (29) > Jetina (23)

Open.

[Nephrite]

I'm going to use my standard on the intimidate, is that okay?

[Anastasia]

Sure, if you want to. Doing anything with the rest of it?

[Nephrite]

Alas, he has no other good swifts or movements yet!

[Anastasia]

Yet. Dun dun duuuuuun.

The ranks roar back defiance - and amid it one steps up. An efreet in chain mail and helmet, raising a great sword up. In Ignan he calls, "Not a step back, in the name of the Grand Sultan! The valor of the Crimson Firebrand is with us!"

Anything else?
