Beastland wanderings

[Iron Dragoon]

I assumed he was in range since Dolmaya hit him with it, uh...

Range: Close (25ft + 5ft 2/levels) so.. 115. That said, I still have my movement which is.. 240ft flying, so I can I should be able to fly up into range.

[Anastasia]

Works.

The beam strikes true - and suddenly the figure crumples, iced over. He falls as he dissolves into stars and again reality shifts.

You are alone. You stand before the Guardian once more, who regards you curiously. "You're still alive? What a lovely spot of entertainment," it declares.

[Iron Dragoon]

"Now you definitely better treat us to a meal."

Alyssa turns to the others, "How's Dolmaya?"

[Anastasia]

"Alive," The Guardian says, "But she wasn't really that entertaining, was she?"

[Iron Dragoon]

"She was excellent, and we passed your test. Don't be rude. Why did you bring me here alone?"

[Anastasia]

"You interest me the most, and you're clearly the leader." Is the Guardian's answer, the bear coming up to you. "The other mages with you seem stronger, yet the work under you instead of over you. Why?"

[Iron Dragoon]

Alyssa shakes her head, "Leadership isn't about power, though I will admit a leader does need power. Leadership through power is domination. I value freedom above all else. They know it, and they know I fight for it. They don't follow me because I make them. They follow me because we're friends, because I try to help them improve, and because their goals matter to me."

[Anastasia]

You get looked at a long time before, "But what will you do to achieve your own goals?"

[Iron Dragoon]

"Ask them for help, of course. My goals are to make magic and education prolific and accessible. I've helped improve one such place and I've established a second. I've pulled in the wanders and those looking to become more. This, combined with using magic to ease people's lives and guiding those lives to live in balance will be my legacy. That is my goal."

[Anastasia]

Give me a raw Charisma check here.

Brains Over Everything saves you.

The Guardian eyes you a time before, with a laugh, "If you say that with a straight face...well, it's really not of my business." A snap of a claw and your friends appear. Dolmaya's down but sitting up, wounds healing as Jarem tends to her. Emily's at your side nigh instantly and Bastian cracks his knuckles. "That it?"

"That'll do," Is the response by the Guardian. "Which of you will take it?

[Iron Dragoon]

"Emily can hold it easily enough until we get home to decide what to do with it."

[Anastasia]

And thus - in an instant you're back on the surface in the dappled moonlight. Emily holds the divine seed while Jessica exhales, "We got it," she says at last.

[Iron Dragoon]

Alyssa nods and pats Jessica on the shoulder, "Jessica, thank you. We couldn't have done this without you. I'm in your debt, and if you ever need help, I'll be there. Let's get back to the tower and see what this has fully."
