Finding Calley

[Nephrite]

Just smushing it all to the sides, I guess making like a giant hallway out of however much is there.

[Anastasia]

A hall is made, as desired. The stone doesn't resist or anything. The stairs are intact ahead.

Marching order?

[Nephrite]

Moore Cresiel Xandra Kaja Jetina

If it matters, Moore still has Foresight on.

[Anastasia]

The party returns to where you fought the bulk of the forces here. No immediate sign of trouble as...

Perception.

[Nephrite]

Xandra and Moore Take 10 for 70, Jetina for 54

[Anastasia]

You spy another bloodstain on the stairs going up.

[Nephrite]

Up they go!

I forgot about this in the talk about hindsight, but Moore does also have access to Regenerate, is it okay to say he fixed his wings up while we were fixing Kaja's face?

It's fine if not, someone could just carry him while he fixes them, I guess.

[Anastasia]

That's fine, I'll just note it in time passed. Go ahead and deduct the spell charge.

More after a post replying, be a few.

[Nephrite]

No worries, will note it.

[Anastasia]

As you go up the stairs, ever so quietly Jetina murmurs, "What do you think their plan is, Moore?"

[Nephrite]

"I wonder if they're going to the beacon to disable it so they can summon more reinforcements." Moore says. "Or trying to lead us into a trap with more efreet or something..." He shakes his head. "We can't worry about it."

[Anastasia]

"Possible," Cresiel murmurs back, "But if they do that, they enable our own chance to escape, unless they lure us into a zone we can't teleport out of."

Kaja scowls, "Like if we follow a trail they left behind, after likely healing?"

"It might be so," Cresiel agrees. "Our foes are not fools."

[Nephrite]

"If we can't teleport out, then neither can they." Moore says with a smile. "They used quite a bit of their own resources on us. We... could always simply leave and recover and return another day, with more forces this time."

He takes a breath in. "But... hmm. If they just wanted to escape, they could've done so." Moore says. He gestures at the blood on the ground. "If they wanted to heal, they could've done that as well."

A breath. a frown.


"They're definitely leading us somewhere, but I think their overconfidence will be their downfall." Moore says.

[Anastasia]

"Then let's make it their downfall," Xandra agrees. "Are we ready?"

Chance for any spellcasting or prep, otherwise we'll go on.

[Nephrite]

I think we're as prepared as we can be for this.
