Gold rush

[Nephrite]

Moore takes out his Teleport Blocker, which is good for three miles and activates it.

Then he casts Invisibility on it and surrounds it with a small wall of force so it doesn't get hit by any lightning.

"Let's go pay them a visit." Moore says with a smile.

Off they go! It shouldn't be able to leave this time, so they'll see what happens.

[Anastasia]

There's no ground remember, so how is not falling? A trivial thing for you but it matters in case someone stumbles on it.

[Nephrite]

I forget there's gravity.

He can just divine magic up fly or something so it'll float there, I imagine? Or a floating disc or something along those lines?

[Anastasia]

Any of those would work fine, just go with one and we can move on.

[Nephrite]

We'll go with Fly since it's easier and it can just float invisibly there.

[Anastasia]

Done. Perception.

[Nephrite]

Take 10 for 123.

[Anastasia]

Onward you fly. You can begin to see it in the distance - a storm wracked fortress of stone, lightning momentarily illuminating it semi constantly. Tall and blocky, well built but without grace. Only the strength of stone rather than anything else.

[Nephrite]

"It kind of reminds me of Aurora." Moore says. "I mean... without the charm." He adds as they continue on. "Let's see if anyone comes out to greet us."

[Anastasia]

"Without-" A crash of lightning cuts off Xandra's reply, after which she shakes her head and points on.

You come closer - are you making any effort to hide?

[Nephrite]

Nah, not at this point. He was covertly checking earlier but will be in full view now.

"If they don't just outright attack us we'll knock on their door." He says.

[Anastasia]

As you approach lightning strikes about 100ft away. A massive bolt that leaves a roughly humanish mass of stormclouds, far larger than any of you. A Storm Elemental, a creature you can recognize on sight.

Jetina readies herself but doesn't advance, while Canderella says to you, "Storm Elemental. Exactly what it sounds like."

[Nephrite]

He may as well try and just be direct...

We are not here to fight. We come in peace to speak to the master of this fortress. My name is Moore, of Celestia. It was I who triggered your teleportation earlier.

[Anastasia]

Diplo, pixie horror. You said a magic word.

[Nephrite]

Take 10 for 128.
