Forever lies ahead

[Iron Dragoon]

Alyssa attempts to teleport them to the mountain, figuring her abilities with Travel might help with anything that tries to impede them!

[Anastasia]

Now that's worth a rank check.

Something is working - a hand twists here, a will opposes your own. But whatever it is isn't done, and you're able to move just in time.

The mountains are great, jagged peaks of torn rock. They are far too steep to be anything but daggers into the sky, dotted with caverns all about and over.

Come here. Come here and be eaten. I see you. I see you. I see you. I can taste you. I can taste your flesh!

[Iron Dragoon]

Alyssa responds, including the group, Yes, yes, gibbering madness and hunger and rot. I gathered that from before. Are you coherent or polite enough to introduce yourself?

[Anastasia]

Just for my own reference, gimme a Diplomacy check?

[Iron Dragoon]

Diplo:

[Anastasia]

Your answer is a loud, furious shriek into your mind.

Then again, demons.

[Iron Dragoon]

Alyssa sends to the others, So much for that. Keep on guard and be ready to get out of here.

Alyssa keeps going, looking for a way in, or hidden passages.

[Anastasia]

Perception.

"It's just a matter of time," Dolmaya says aloud.

We need to bait this demon out or we'll run around fruitlessly against it.

[Iron Dragoon]

Perception:

[blockquote]Rolled 1d20+64 : 16 + 64, total 80[/blockquote]

Ideas on how to do that? If we stay out here, it'll just throw minions at us to wear us down.

[Anastasia]

You see caves - many of them you can catch glimpses of horrors in, but one a bit below seems to be free of them.

Provoke it into facing us and making a mistake.

[Iron Dragoon]

Alyssa sends to the thing that screamed at them, If you're going to be that petty, then at least stop wasting my time cowering in whatever hole you're in and come get us. Though I doubt you'll do much than impotent screaming and throwing your fodder at us.

[Anastasia]

Hm. Are you trying to be intimidating here? Matters for which check I call for.

[Iron Dragoon]

Just trying to provoke.
