Elemental Movements

[Anastasia]

Cresiel rears back and strikes the door - which makes it wobble like a bowl of jelly and then giggle like a woman. "Oh, how forward!" the door declares, as a jet of door colored slime sprays at Cresiel.

> roll 1d20+29 touch AC
<Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+29 touch AC --> [ 1d20=14 ]{43}

Cresiel's shield comes up fast as can be, blocking the slime, which sizzles against it.

[Nephrite]

Moore reaches up and pinches his nose.

I'm guessing this isn't so much spellcraft as some other check, but 74 on Spellcraft if that tells me anything. Otherwise I'd want to try and identify the doorslime if possible.

[Anastasia]

K:D.

[Nephrite]

Take 10 for 72

[Anastasia]

It's some sort of aberration, a shapechanging mimic that's blocking the way. An unusually durable one, no less.

"Kaja," Cresiel says but a word, tired exasperation in every letter.

Kaja approaches, swords out and ready to strike.

[Nephrite]

"Go ahead and try. If that doesn't work, Xandra, would you...?" He leaves the rest of the statement unsaid, trusting she understands his intent.

He's indicating he'd like her to use her ability to, "make aberrations whole", to be clear. I think she'd understand that since, you know, seer and all. :)

[Anastasia]

"Hold," Xandra calls, singing a single note of sublime beauty.

At this moment the strange mimic sighs softly, melting down before you into a dot of light. It vanishes away, flying off to places unknown.

[Nephrite]

"...You'll have to tell me more about that later." Moore says.

Onwards!!!

[Anastasia]

The next floor is two podiums opposite one another. Each has seating for a few dozen behind them, the podiums themselves on ground raised up a few feet, short stairs leading up to them. Yet as you step in, you see it. Shadowy audience members and shadowy, efreet-like creatures appear at the podiums. They all turn to you, murmurings that sound like speech yet cannot be fully made out.

[Nephrite]

Moore clicks his tongue.

"I'm beginning to think I picked the wrong building for us to infiltrate. Fine. You want an oration? I'll give you an oration." Moore huffs. He flies up take a spot behind one of the podiums.

[Anastasia]

The shadowy figure there steps aside, letting you go and speak as you wish.

[Nephrite]

"You know, there's traditionally a second person here for debates." Moore says as he looks around. "Is this the best your college can do?"

[Anastasia]

Before you, the opposite shadowy figure solidifies, becoming a portly efreet wearing plate armor. "Oh ho," it says, "Welcome, welcome!"

[Nephrite]

"Well, what's the topic?" Moore asks.

Take 10 for 74 on Spellcraft -- is this just a magical construct (not a literal construct, I just mean 'it's constructed of magic') or somehow a real thing?

[Anastasia]

You'd think so, but you'd need to study it with DM or the like and that does take an action. If you want to try it with him right here, feel free to say so and we'll resolve that.

"Applied morality," The efreet declares. "You have knowledge from divinations that an ally may soon betray you. Is it right for you to crush this ally and take his lands and slaves as your own?"
