Crossed swords

[Corwin]

Seira is struck by how similar in capability Ranbar is to Amaryl. Given that she's always been impressed about Amaryl's fiend-slaying abilities, even pre-ascension, that's just fine in her book!

Donald strikes. It's a flick of the wrist, five slashes cutting into the next without a moment to even see. It falls apart, sundered completely as the last lets out an unearthly moan before oozing at him, slamming into him like a battering ram.

Donald blocks it with his shield dead on, a grunt of, "Wretched thing. Seira, would you?" she asks. "Put it out of its misery."

Go.

[Corwin]

Seira decides this makes for the perfect first combat test of her fivefold breath, and proceeds to spear the last shadowy creature with a line of elemental fury further bolstered by holy power!

To this fury the last creature simply melts away, undone by your breath. An easy victory indeed, hopefully the first of several here.

[Corwin]

"What happened to wanting to fight more?" Seira asks, disintegrating another wall on her path towards the center of the cube.

[Anastasia]

"I can be sporting," Donald retorts to you, which gets Amaryl to smile faintly and roll her eyes ever so slightly.

[Corwin]

"Yeah, sure," Seira says with a snort, continuing to blast her direct path inwards.

[Anastasia]

Another blast. This opens up into a larger space, and immediately warmer air rushes out. A great blast of it, yet you are strong enough to hold your ground. Within is a larger room, full of what looks to be arms and armor. An armory on a glance - including a large black stone golem and a single, hooded and robed humanoid who turns from inspecting a short sword.

[Corwin]

"This is your one and only chance to surrender," Seira tells them cheerfully.

[Anastasia]

Yeah, that's scary dragon time. Give me intimidate.

[Corwin]

Strongly suggest surrendering.

19:20 <Corwin> roll 1d20+69

[Anastasia]

The golem does not react, but it is just a golem.

The hooded man freezes cold at this, staring and not moving a muscle. Perhaps wise of him.

[Corwin]

"Your name and allegiance?" Seira demands, ready to see through any lies.

Sense Motive 10 for 97 (divine insight).

[Anastasia]

"...Hegaz," Is his answer, "Loyal to The Lady of Loss."

His words come quickly, hurried, and truthful to your ears.

[Corwin]

"Who is in charge here, and where are they?"
