Temporal pixies

[Nephrite]

Moore has no intention of harming them if he doesn't have to... but perhaps he can still solve this without violence with a bit of either diplomacy or intimidation, as needed.

Is this what constitutes diplomacy here? Why did you ask me to come alone?

Depending on my answer here or the lack thereof will determine whether I am Nice Moore or Scary Moore.

[Anastasia]

There is no answer.

Anything else this turn?

[Nephrite]

Cease this attempted attack.

Going for an Intimidate on pretty much everything here, I assume it won't work on the Turtle for reasons, but I imagine the wyverns will get affected somehow.

Take 10 for 100 on Intimidate.

I'm not sure if the Instill Terror thing gets a bonus range for the divinity - otherwise it's only 30 ft and obviously none of them are close enough.

If not, then we'll just have to hope his voice is scary enough!

[Anastasia]

The dragon turtle happens to be fear immune for an unrelated reason anyway.

No point in rolling since the wyverns can't beat 100.

The wyverns are paused in flight, circling back rather than approaching further. The dragon turtle watches on, as suddenly it slams down. This massive move creates a massive, towering tidal wave that blows in towards you.

Ref save.

[Anastasia]

Moore focuses, and at the right time a word of divine power clears a tiny hole in the wave, to which Moore darts through. He flies up and above after, as the beach is washed away entirely, only water below now.

Go.

[Nephrite]

He won't make the same mistake as he did with Makim. Not again.

None of us came here to do harm to anyone here. If we can restore this place so it doesn't collapse on itself from the dimensional instability, then we will.

I will not do you harm even if you continue to attack me, that is not my way, or the way of Mount Celestia.


He's pretty much just going to pass, he won't be taking any offensive action.

[Anastasia]

Is the Ref save total for you going to stay that way or is it temporary?

[Nephrite]

It'll stay that way for long enough, I think. it's from the bardic music + things like Celestial valor, so he's got a bit longer.

[Anastasia]

Several more tidal waves, yet each one Moore dodges. A waterspout, almost dodged nimbly. The dragon cannot seem to lay a hand on you, before it rears back and breathes out a massive cloud of superheated steam. Yet not even that can touch you, a simple flex of will to shield yourself from it in time.

[Nephrite]

Do I need to tell you that I'm a friend to Lord Bahamut to get you to cease this?

Lady Sanzha would not have been so patient with you, I think. I ask you again to cease these attacks so we may speak.

[Anastasia]

Give me Diplo here.

[Nephrite]

Take 10 for 138.

[Anastasia]

At last you are stared down before the dragon turtle just watches you, surrounded by wyverns. No words, but no further attacks.

[Nephrite]

I would hear your story, if you would share it. It's not every day you meet abjurations that can challenge divinity.

This entire place... a dimension inside a dimension inside a dimension, likely infinitely, for however long it's been like this... I imagine that is part of your story, but I would ask you if you were here before this happened, and got caught in it.

I would further ask you allow my allies passage - they will do you no harm, you have my word.
