- [18:02] <Roo_Inline[DM]> you are now standing in said platform
- [18:02] <Caelia_Pallas> I inspect the platform to attempt knowledge of it's meaning or purpose here.

- [18:04] <Caelia_Pallas> Roll d20+3 for insight
- [18:04] <Caelia_Pallas> !Roll d20+3 for insight
- [18:04] <Tyche[Dice]> (1d20+3) [12+3] : {15}
- [18:04] <Roo_Inline[DM]> you have the feeling the symbol on the ground is related to the gentle breeze that flows through your world
- [18:04] <Caelia_Pallas> !Roll 2#d20+4 for Perception
- [18:04] <Tyche[Dice]> (1d20+4) [2+4] : {6} (1d20+4) [18+4] : {22}
- [18:06] <Roo_Inline[DM]> it is neatly carved onto the stone, or almost eroded into it in a neat pattern
- [18:06] <Roo_Inline[DM]> the spiral staircase looks even more ominous now
- [18:08] <Caelia_Pallas> I wrap my fists into a tighter grip on my knives, and descend with nervous caution.
- [18:08] <Roo_Inline[DM]> "its alright" you hear in a kind and deep voice
- [18:09] <Caelia_Pallas> "Who sp3aks, wh3r3 you the sourc3 of th3 humming 3arli3r. What do you want, where ar3 you?"
- [18:09] <Roo_Inline[DM]> you begin descending
- [18:10] <Roo_Inline[DM]> "we are at my temple caelia"
- [18:10] <Roo_Inline[DM]> "im sorry our history has to be cut short, but so is the will of the universe"
- [18:11] <Caelia_Pallas> "History, Will of the Univ3rs3, what ar3 you talking about?"
- [18:12] <Roo_Inline[DM]> "my slumber has been cut short by you"
- [18:13] <Roo_Inline[DM]> "i feel it would have been appropiate to lead you hear"
- [18:13] <Roo_Inline[DM]> "so i can offer you a choice"
- [18:13] <Roo_Inline[DM]> *here
- [18:14] <Caelia_Pallas> "I cam3 h3r3 mys3lf, what choic3 ar3 you off3ring, I doubt anything this sick game could off3r would b3 good."
- [18:15] <Roo_Inline[DM]> "watch your words agains the father of winds, rogue"
- [18:15] <Roo_Inline[DM]> you reach the bottom of the stairs. it opens up into a big area with... oh god.
- [18:16] <Roo_Inline[DM]> most words are kind of hard to describe what you are seeing, if anything you could say it resembles a snake
- [18:17] <Roo_Inline[DM]> as big as a building. resting, looking at you with a face that no words would do justice to
- [18:18] <Roo_Inline[DM]> the cavernous walls are covered in smallish holes where air flows through
- [18:18] <Caelia_Pallas> "I 3r, apologiz3, sir..."
- [18:19] <Roo_Inline[DM]> "it may feel one sided as it is, the choice im about to give you. so please take a minute to appreciate the few calm moments we have left"
- [18:20] <Roo_Inline[DM]> the cavern wall behind you seals itself up. its only you and the snake now
- [18:21] <Caelia_Pallas> I try to captchalouge my knives away without his noticing, I think he might get the wrong intention if I leave them out. I feel rather closed in without a path of escape.
- [18:21] == KevRedditt [[email protected]] has joined #RPGStuck_crownest
- [18:22] <Caelia_Pallas> I take a deep breath and exhale...
- [18:22] <Caelia_Pallas> "So, what is this, choic3, Mr....giant snak3, sir."
- [18:23] <Roo_Inline[DM]> "typheus, or father of winds"
- [18:24] <Roo_Inline[DM]> "those are mine names, caelia"
- [18:24] <Caelia_Pallas> "Typh3us them, what do you want with m3."
- [18:25] <Caelia_Pallas> *th3n
- [18:25] <Roo_Inline[DM]> "your choice is to either distribute your breath for the sake of your friends, or do nothing, and let lack of it take hold here"
- [18:26] <Caelia_Pallas> "What will th3s3 do, in t3chnical terms, if you would."
- [18:26] <Roo_Inline[DM]> "let all of yourself live in the infinite aspect that is freedom, in shorter words. im asking you to die, for the sake of your team"
- [18:26] == mercurialTraceur1 [[email protected]] has joined #RPGStuck_crownest
- [18:26] <Roo_Inline[DM]> "im sorry caelia"
- [18:26] <Caelia_Pallas> "DI3!?"
- [18:27] <Caelia_Pallas> "How would that b3 us3ful, I thought I would l3ad our t3am to victory."
- [18:27] <Roo_Inline[DM]> "yes, you have heard me correctly"
- [18:27] <Caelia_Pallas> "Or that's what I want3d anyways..."
- [18:27] <Roo_Inline[DM]> "and in this way you would do the greatest help you can possibly provide"
- [18:28] == mercurialTraceur [[email protected]] has quit [Ping timeout: 198 seconds]
- [18:29] <Caelia_Pallas> "How will my d3ath help my fri3nds? If I choos3 that/"
- [18:29] <Roo_Inline[DM]> "you would become part of the concept of breath itself"
- [18:29] <Roo_Inline[DM]> "and if so, you would subconsiously help
- [18:30] == mercurialTraceur [[email protected]] has joined #RPGStuck_crownest
- [18:30] <Roo_Inline[DM]> "its hard to explain to a mere mortal"
- [18:31] <Roo_Inline[DM]> "it does indeed sounds onesided right?"
- [18:31] == mercurialTraceur1 [[email protected]] has quit [Ping timeout: 186 seconds]
- [18:31] <Caelia_Pallas> "I've h3ard that my anc3stor liv3d for 300 y3ars, I was planning on honoring h3r l3gacy."
- [18:32] <Caelia_Pallas> "What Happens If I don't choose this, what's the other option."
- [18:32] <Roo_Inline[DM]> "what i offer would let you live for eternity"
- [18:32] <Roo_Inline[DM]> "as a concept that is"
- [18:32] <Roo_Inline[DM]> "your other option is to walk away, and let everybody, including you, continue their struggles
- [18:33] <Roo_Inline[DM]> "to get a proper grasp on what may happen to all of them with lack of breath i would have to do so the same here"
- [18:34] <Roo_Inline[DM]> if anything. the flow of gentle wind stops
- [18:34] <Roo_Inline[DM]> you have no idea what's this supposed to mean
- [18:35] <Caelia_Pallas> "And what about another option, maybe, on3 I mak3 for mys3lf."
- [18:35] <Roo_Inline[DM]> "go on. im listening"
- [18:36] <Caelia_Pallas> "I was thinking..."
- [18:36] <Caelia_Pallas> "Well, I wanted too..."
- [18:38] <Caelia_Pallas> Inside my head I come to the realization that there is no option, and my desire to be free of choice was an illusion. Was this myself? Was it Typheus? Was it 'Breath' itself as he was talking about? Who knows, but Caelia at that point was now limited to two options, and really only one that she would permit.
- [18:41] <Caelia_Pallas> "I would be nothing without my fri3nds, and I cannot leave them to suff3r, 3v3n if it m3ans I b3com3 nothing mys3lf."
- [18:41] <Caelia_Pallas> "It would simply b3 a r3turn on a v3ry long loan."
- [18:42] == AnionCation [[email protected]] has joined #RPGStuck_crownest
- [18:43] <Roo_Inline[DM]> "then so be it... i will allow you to let go of your earthly body and become wind, so your breath may be shared across those that which deserve it"
- [18:43] <Roo_Inline[DM]> "if it makes you feel better caelia... you will live for far longer than your ancestor this way"
- [18:44] <Caelia_Pallas> I take out the cu3 stick of my 2 days worth Mat3sprit. If there was a purpose for it now is it.
- [18:44] <Roo_Inline[DM]> you are filled with a deep contempt as the cuestick itself turns into a beautifully crafted rifle as you expected it would
- [18:44] <Roo_Inline[DM]> you feel yourself become lighter
- [18:45] <Caelia_Pallas> "I lov3 you. Goodby3, everyone."
- [18:47] <Roo_Inline[DM]> typheus mournfully nods. you get the feeling those words will be carried everywhere and to everyone with willing ears to listen
- [18:47] <Roo_Inline[DM]> you peacefully cease being, as you turn into wind, distributed amongst the infinite
- [18:48] <Caelia_Pallas> https://youtu.be/ca_Cv7seV4Y plays as the wind takes it's course
- [18:48] <Roo_Inline[DM]> "and so she goes"
- [18:49] <Roo_Inline[DM]> you get to see your land, and everyone's else from a perspective you would have never imagined
- [18:50] <Roo_Inline[DM]> from a ceirtain point of view. you are everywhere, and nowhere at the same time.
- [18:50] <Caelia_Pallas> Felciasprite, in the remote corner of where she is, remembers a song she once heard which she shared with Caelia, and now thinks of it as she feels her matesprit fade from material existence...https://youtu.be/NGbVlq0Fgvk
- [18:50] * The_Audience bursts into uproarious applause as it goes to paste
