Forever lies ahead

[Anastasia]

Gimme a Diplomacy check to see how precisely insulting you are, I suppose.

[Iron Dragoon]

Diplo/Cunning Knowledge:

[blockquote]Rolled 1d20+99 : 9 + 99, total 108[/blockquote]

[Anastasia]

I will rut in you and then devour you and our children! I will drag your soul here to be eaten for eternity!

The roar is one of mindless rage, of fury unrelenting.

[Iron Dragoon]

So says the pathetic one hiding in a hole.

[Anastasia]

Abruptly the sky begins to twist around you, becoming great heaps of teeth and claws, as if to rip and sunder all of you apart.

"No," Jarem speaks aloud, a moment of will meeting will.

> roll 1d20+3
<Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+3 --> [ 1d20=13 ]{16}
> roll 1d20+1
<Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+1 --> [ 1d20=2 ]{3}

But nothing happens as they continue to form, fast around all of you, the air becoming a living hazard.

[Iron Dragoon]

Alyssa tries to help Jarem counter it with her own power.

[Anastasia]

Rank check then, sure.

[Iron Dragoon]

[blockquote]Rolled 1d20+2 : 19 + 2, total 21[/blockquote]

[Anastasia]

> roll 1d20+3
<Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+3 --> [ 1d20=13 ]{16}

That, at least, is enough to stop the mouths. They cease forming and the sky is still the sky - for now.

"We really aren't getting anything productive here, are we?" Bastian stays, looking about. "What was that about a cave?"

[Iron Dragoon]

"I have a feeling it's hiding somewhere inside here. We have no idea what it is, though, or where exactly it is."

[Anastasia]

Meanwhile, you notice the mountain is beginning to grow long, rocky claws and arms all over it.

Emily points at those, "Um...is it possible that it IS the mountain?"

[Iron Dragoon]

"... Well, you wanted a story. Beating a mountain is a pretty good one. Ideas?"

[Anastasia]

"It's a mountain," Bastian says slowly. "You don't fight a mountain. It's too big."

"I've heard stories about this," Jarem speaks up, "About facing things this size. You can't kill it from the outside, so go in and destroy the heart, brain or something else critical."

[Iron Dragoon]

Alyssa inspects it, trying to analyze it and pick out that critical something.

Know it's probably a long shot, but any sort of check to identify something? For example, like eyes are always near the brain.

[Anastasia]

It's a giant possibly alive mountain. You'd assume the top for the brain if it goes humanoid-shaped but even that's not certain.

You just don't have anything to go on.
