Shake the dust off your feet

"I see you," she growls in Abyssal, stopping and making eye contact with one of them. "Little things crawling in the skin..."

DC 27 will to get surface thoughts.

'Look at me, let me rip you limb from limb.' Charming.

Jessica growls low, "Give me a reason."

Ebiris · May 12, 2021, 02:58:53 PM

Miracle to emulate righteous might. No visible change to size since she's wearing the form of a large creature, this just helps make it all fit.

Marie does the ripping around here! A giant angry fist reaches into the wall to grab at the eye she's reading the thoughts of, ripping it free!

There's a horrible wet sound as you do just that, one eye torn away as a loud, discordant scream is heard. The scream of a dozen things at once, none agreeing on the sound. It cries out in massive pain, the other eye shut as it ducks out of sight. Even in hand the eye watches you, a malicious and horrid thing that oozes green.

Ebiris · May 12, 2021, 03:37:47 PM

She promptly tosses that eye back down the way they came towards the portal, a fastball special!

Message delivered, she then resumes flying along the path to the rat's skull.

Anastasia · May 12, 2021, 04:08:15 PM

Indeed, no more resistance. You follow the fleshy path, which leads onwards and upwards. Yet after a bit you reach a little node, where about half a dozen paths go in various directions. Good thing you have a spell telling you what direction you should go. As you do?

There's presences here, one just tried to make mental contact with me.

Ebiris · May 12, 2021, 04:14:32 PM

Anything interesting?

Marie stops here and looks around as if considering the various paths. But also seeing if she can discern that presence herself.

Detect thoughts and greater arcane sight are still up.

Also Duelist's Friend sees anything hidden and tells me their name/species, and the result of a DC 48 knowledge check. Should've remembered that with the eyes too.

An eternity of terror, no hope, succumb to disease and suffering. About what you'd expect. Nothing specific to us.

You can sense minds around you - the same ones as before. It's all demon names - lesser demons generally, if unusually intelligent ones for those types. Nothing noteworthy on a glance.

Ebiris · May 13, 2021, 01:13:18 PM

You'd think demons would know not to bother with this kind of routine against other demons.

Especially a balor and elder nabassu who are pretty plainly diseased already. She picked these form specifically for intimidation and local kudos.

With an audible scoff, she flies in the direction Find the Path points her in.

Anastasia · May 13, 2021, 01:35:29 PM

You go onward. Through another cluster of passages and then another. A fourth cluster has a carved out pit. Here the reek of disease is thick as a pool of pus has accumulated. In it manes thrash and rut, a slow submission to liquefaction. On these wretches great boils grow and fester, and in some of the ruptured ones you can see newborn manes fester within, in various forms of diseased growth.

Outside of the pool over a dozen nalfeshnee loom over, chain whips in hand with wicked thorns of iron on those whips. Each one has a blindfold and a dual head - for each head has a face on the back that matches the front face. Both sets of eyes are blindfolded, and both mouths drool pus that splashes into the pool.

The manes grunt but are mostly silent - and when one screams, the chain whips come down on that one, without mercy. "Guilty! Murder! Falsehoods! Poison! Torture!"

One reverse face leers at the two of you, "Look on at what those who recanted service to Talona face and tremble in joy."

Your spell directs you ahead and onward, past this atrocity.

Ebiris · May 13, 2021, 01:42:06 PM

"I'll tremble when I'm squeezing out a shit down your neck," Marie replies, dripping abyssal contempt as she flies past the nalfeshnee and the manes.

Anastasia · May 13, 2021, 02:04:58 PM

Mocking laughter is your answer, but none move against you. Jessica hisses and snaps as she goes, but follows.

Onward. Up a throat and path of shivering flesh. The drip of rot. An opening.

Here, in a vast empty chasm of flesh and bone, a city grows. A city like a cyst grown through healthy flesh, organic stone from the fleshy ground. Buildings are crammed together here with no rhyme or reason, a view from above as your path comes in from above it. A crammed, festering boil of a city, smashed together.

Ebiris · May 13, 2021, 02:17:12 PM

"Here we are. We'll find it here," Marie growls aloud in Abyssal.

Lets just explore a bit and look around, I've got some strong divinations going that might find us clues without giving away anything ourselves.

They'll go wander the city a bit, seemingly two demons searching for something for their own nefarious purposes. But Duelist's Friend can alert her if she spots anyone meaningfully associated with Yarus or Shar or Plag. Or is sufficiently warded to bypass her divinations.

Anastasia · May 13, 2021, 02:32:44 PM

Okay, before I begin, gimme a d100 as well as a Perception check.
