Seira's morning glow

[Anastasia]

Make an K:P check.

[Corwin]

10 for 82

[Anastasia]

Close contact to Mephistopheles can lead to sluggishness and frigid exhaustion due to his nature and control over cold. It can be negated by an opposed rank check against him or simply letting it wear off.

[Corwin]

I wanted to give it a try!

20:50 <Lucille> roll 1d20+2
20:50 <•Penuche> Lucille invokes Penuche's magic: < 9 > [d20=7]

[Anastasia]

Fair enough, it's useful info even if you have no chance on the roll, since it gives you insight to Mephisto's divine rank.

> roll 1d20+23 (+8 strata bonus)
<Penuche> Kotono invokes Penuche's magic: < 36 > [d20=13]

No good - you feel the cold overwhelming, a chill going through you as your power cannot move Mephisto's power.

[Corwin]

Why yes, yes it does!

"We'll need to wait, but at least it should pass on its own," Seira muses, now transporting the three of them to her temple, next to the warmth of the eternal flame burning in it.

[Anastasia]

Amaryl goes ot the flame and basks in it, adding, "Still, I have so many questions now," Amaryl admits, "Even Mephisto's insult aside."

[Corwin]

"Nothing to do but wait. Lathander's pretty great, so let's trust him!"

[Anastasia]

It's perhaps ten minutes before you get a simple message: 'I'm fine. Bring my proxy back to where we met.'

[Corwin]

"Let's go," Seira tells Amaryl, and once more they are transported across the planes!

[Anastasia]

Lathander awaits, standing. He takes one look and says, "I'm going to let my proxy rest in the sun," he declares, expression solemn.

[Corwin]

"I tried to warm him up by the flame, but it'll take time," Seira says. "Unless you want to counter Mephisto's power directly? You'll be able to do it, I'm sure."

[Anastasia]

"Let it pass with time, he won't be harmed," Lathander says, "Thank you for your aid there, Seira and Amaryl." His expression lacks any joviality, all serious looks.

[Corwin]

"It's a shame we couldn't do much this time," Seira tells him, shaking her head. "Can I ask you to tell us about that amulet, and whether you got it back?"

[Anastasia]

"I'm sorry, but it's private," Lathander says, "A long ago story, a long ago love lost to the sands of time." Then he smiles, "But, let me say I do not reward those who are true friends. Come, I think you've earned a reward for your valor and heroism today."
