- [6:02 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: One person please do a recap.
- [6:02 PM] Eon: The last we left our heroes..
- [6:02 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: You have 10 minutes after accepting your quest.
- [6:02 PM] Faerie: Give me a few and I could do one from memory
- [6:07 PM] Eon: We spent much time ruminating about how we would go about slaying the so-called aboleth, and after Tot scouted the lake, we were.. hesitant to do so.
- However, with Alicia's Arcane Eye, we managed to scout out the lake in much greater detail, and reassured ourselves our plan was sound.
- The plan? To Dimension Door the Spelljammer to the lake and fight with it.
- It turns out that the Aboleth was being transformed into an avatar of Cthulu against its will, and that the real adversary was Cthylla, Cthulu's daughter, albeit in a sleepy state. We banished her, eventually, but we sustained significant damage to our vessel.
- And so we stand, in our crumbling tower, delibrating..
- [6:08 PM] Faerie: (Beat me to my memereview)
- [6:08 PM] Eon: (And here I thought it would be a short recap)
- [6:08 PM] Faerie: (Wait shit, nevermind, I was doing like a recap from 2 sessions back too)
- [6:08 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: roll 1d1
- [6:08 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d1]: 1, Result: 1
- ------------------------------------------------------------
- [6:09 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The damage to your spelljammer will take roughly three days between all the NPC spellcasters, including the warlocks, on full rest, to recouperate.
- [6:10 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: While it can be sped up, imagine it to be difficult.
- [6:10 PM] Faerie: (WHAT)
- [6:10 PM] Eon: ... While Esker, Alicia and Razmik could help.
- [6:10 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The good news is, you are still on the "first day" of the doomsweek.
- [6:10 PM] Eon: Esker thinks that might be a lost cause.
- [6:10 PM] Mizuki: (Hold on guys, 5 minutes)
- [6:10 PM] Eon: A quick patch up, sure, but several days..
- [6:11 PM] Faerie: ''So,'' uh... Razmik fights back the urge to stammer as he looks for the words. ''This place's kind of a mess, isn't it? Will it really take that long, Recelle?''
- [6:11 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Oh, the ship is perfectly functional still.
- [6:11 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Recelle checks the control...
- [6:11 PM] Eon: Exactly.
- [6:11 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "... Well, it'll fly, but if we bump into another horror from beyond the sea of stars, we might not last." Recelle gives her accessment.
- [6:12 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "..." Shadow is busy forming the ritual pose he adapted to channel the energy from the dark depth of the stars.
- [6:12 PM] Eon: With any luck that won't happen again.
- [6:12 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The fact that it works for him is a little disconcerning.
- [6:12 PM] Eon: Esker accesses Shadow's antics, was he actually..
- [6:12 PM] Faerie: ''Given our situation...'' Razmik speaks, placing both hands on his hips as he mulls over it ''That doesn't sound as unlikely as we'd hope. We can't take any chances with this thing.''
- [6:13 PM] Faerie: ''Say, do you think anyone at Shadowvale would be able to take a look at it? Ah, I guess I should be asking Augus.''(edited)
- [6:13 PM] Eon: "It's true, but in top condition might be too much time." Esker scratches the back of her head.
- [6:13 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Shadow's magic is esoteric and not very Arcane.
- [6:13 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (>Neivec)
- [6:14 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Faepls)
- [6:14 PM] Eon: (>Neivec)
- [6:14 PM] Faerie: (Wait)
- [6:14 PM] Faerie: (Hahahahaahahah)
- [6:14 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (huehuehue)
- [6:14 PM] Faerie: (I blame nobody else refering to the town by name :sadpopo:)
- [6:14 PM] Eon: ... Where the heck was Neivec? Sounded like a nice place though.
- [6:15 PM] Faerie: (Neivec? It sucks)
- [6:15 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (I don't even refer to the place much)
- [6:15 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (It's our Oakhurst)
- [6:15 PM] Eon: (Excuse you for not appreciating the cosmopolitaness of the place)
- [6:16 PM] Eon: Anyhow, how much would the npcs be able to convert spell point wise per short rest?(edited)
- [6:16 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (The 3 days is a rough estimate)
- [6:16 PM] Faerie: For the time being, Razmik asks if there's any business left to do down under.
- [6:16 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (pls don't get me to get you the actual numbers)
- [6:16 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Else I'll make it 4 days)
- [6:16 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ( :smugsatori: )
- [6:16 PM] Eon: (DansGame)
- [6:16 PM] Faerie: Anything left after checking the statue's resting place?
- [6:16 PM] Eon: (Its missing like 200 or so hp)
- [6:17 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Hmm, you folks mostly left in a hurry
- [6:17 PM] Eon: We didn't tp the spelljammer.
- [6:17 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Maybe you should go and investigate.
- [6:17 PM] Eon: We should..
- [6:17 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Well, no, but you didn't exactly delve back in the lake.
- [6:17 PM] Faerie: (Oh, that)
- [6:17 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: So "You don't know".
- [6:18 PM] Eon: Esker hops back to the exit, Nul shoild still be around..
- [6:18 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Indeedy.
- [6:18 PM] Eon: She briefly considers how curious riding a elemental of nothingness would be, but eh.
- [6:18 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: roll 3d100
- [6:18 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [3d100]: 79,20,9, Result: 108
- [6:19 PM] Eon: "Lets go, Nul." She directs her efforts towards the statue first.
- [6:19 PM] Mizuki: Alicia thinks for a moment. - "Before we decide if we should or not repair our spelljammer, we should contact the king in yellow, tell him the job is done, and maybe ask a few questions."(edited)
- [6:19 PM] Eon: Or what remained of it.
- [6:20 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... There's no statue remaining, from a quick glance of the lake's surface. Cthullya's statue seems to have largely disappeared from the locale.
- [6:20 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The locale's magic is slowly fading away, with the otherworldly signs fading slowly.
- [6:20 PM] Eon: "However something so massive and otherworldy is.. hmm."
- [6:20 PM] Mizuki: ( @Players just one more summon in case Kap didn't see )
- [6:20 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The water is murky, with the dead planktons and return to its former state.
- [6:20 PM] Eon: She absentmindely feeds a goodberry to Nul.
- [6:21 PM] Faerie: After a pause, Razmik raises a figurative eyebrow to Alicia. ''Ask who, the King himself? I say we shouldn't talk to him more than needed''(edited)
- [6:21 PM] Eon: "You mind going down there?"
- [6:21 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Nul seems to not respond much, devouring the goodberry.
- [6:21 PM] Eon: Though, didn't the lake start to drain once Cthylla passed?
- [6:21 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: And then, well - if you are riding Nul, Nul will take you down.
- [6:21 PM] Faerie: ''There were conditions it set for us, and we did our part. Let's just ask it to undo the Wind.''
- [6:21 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The lake's draining, and changing.
- [6:21 PM] Eon: Mhm.
- [6:22 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: It'll take A While.
- [6:22 PM] Faerie: (If it'll Take a While, I don't suppose you could bring someone else with you? Sounds like a risky idea)
- [6:23 PM] Eon: (Just ride the wyverns)
- [6:23 PM] Mizuki: "We did the job he asked." - Said Alicia simply. - "I don't think he would refuse a few questions, that was the deal."
- [6:23 PM] Eon: "... Alicia."
- [6:24 PM] Eon: "The.. king is far above us."
- [6:24 PM] Mizuki: As she finished the sentence, she hopped on Quartz. - "I'll take a look down there with Esker."
- [6:24 PM] Eon: "Far beyond our understanding, let alone demanding anything from him.."
- [6:24 PM] Mizuki: "And so was Cthyla." - She answered with a smile.
- [6:24 PM] Faerie: Razmik worries overmuch. ''Will you two be alright? How many more fireballs until you tire, Alicia?''
- [6:25 PM] Eon: Esker sighs with a smile. This girl sometimes..
- [6:26 PM] Mizuki: (>how many fireballs)
- [6:26 PM] Mizuki: (I FORGOT TO REGISTER THAT)
- [6:26 PM] Faerie: Razmik finds Esker's assessment the slightest bit offensive to most other deities. You know, the actual gods running the place! ''All I understand is that I want the likes of him out of the painting. That's not asking too much, is it?''
- [6:27 PM] Faerie: (GG unplayable wizard)
- [6:27 PM] Eon: "I understand your sentiment, but.. It is beyond us." She emphasises.
- [6:28 PM] Eon: ... Not that she knew many people that could fell gods, actual deities or not. Or at all..
- [6:29 PM] Mizuki: "I'm pretty damn tired to tell you the truth, Raz." - She said flying down. - "Wouldn't oppose a bit of resting now."
- [6:29 PM] Eon: Esker shrugs, and pets Nul, urging her downwards, following Alicia.
- [6:30 PM] Faerie: Razmik won't beat around the bush.''Yeah, see, we'd rather not have to deal with even more now that our plate's full. Our sight should be on the plane itself getting dragged into hell, agree?''
- [6:30 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: As you delve deeper into the lake, where the statue once stood, you found a strange alcove. The alcove is somehow dry, and bones of humanoid littered the area. It might have been notable humanoid sacrifices made to Cthylla in the past, or perhaps the aboleth's prisoners. The area isn't very organized, but it's also small enough that you can quickly explore it. The walls have a few sets of manacles, most rusty and non-functtional, with two sets being the exceptions.
- As for the other treasures, you found
- 1. a shiny arrowhead radiating with power and strange emotion, its shaft long rotted away. The arrowhead is decorated with small etching of runes and symbols of power.
- 2. a morningstar, light and simple in design, almost plain.
- 3. a strange segment of bone left behind by some former hero. It's almost transparent in its pearl-whiteness, and smooth to the touch.
- 4. a ring decorated with symbols of stars, shining in the dark.
- [6:31 PM] Faerie: He gives Alicia an appreciative nod, recalling all the blows the Sword had taken. ''What you did there must've been tiring, I won't argue with that. Do you want to head back to the surface? We can plot there in the meantime.''
- [6:31 PM] Eon: Esker's eyes immediately gravitate to the ring, abstract wonder and dread filling her.
- [6:32 PM] Eon: ... But only for moment.
- [6:32 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: As you affix your eyes upon the ring, your robe seems to hum in synchronization.
- [6:32 PM] Eon: These should all be worth looking into, at any rate.
- [6:32 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Without identification, you know it to be a ring of shooting stars.
- [6:32 PM] Faerie: (Are Esker and Alicia back from the lake?)
- [6:32 PM] Eon: ( :surprisedpopo:
- [6:32 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: https://roll20.net/compendium/dnd5e/Ring%20of%20Shooting%20Stars#content
- [6:33 PM] Bot Fodder: "Hey, this looks pretty clean for something that was sitting in a cave." John picks up the unremarkable-looking morningstar, of course.(edited)
- [6:33 PM] Eon: "Wondrous.." Esker, mesmerised, walks toward it.
- [6:33 PM] Faerie: (This all sounds pretty fancy. If we have no one with Identify, let's at least take a rest to see what we found)
- [6:33 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: There are countless other weapons, armors, all of them damaged by water, broken, or otherwise useless.
- [6:34 PM] Eon: Can they be Mending ed :^)
- [6:34 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: They could be, given time.
- [6:34 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: the simplier weapons can be mended, forming somewhat less than useful version of themselves. You might be able to mend a broken dagger, for example, into a rusty one.
- [6:34 PM] Bot Fodder: The soldier examines the weapon for some kind of sign. Maybe a mark hidden on the grip?
- [6:35 PM] Eon: Well. If only they weren't pressed for it. Regardless, she'll instruct Nul to start carrying them back to the ship while she searches around.
- [6:35 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The morningstar does not seem to have any significant marking; it's a seemingly plain weapon.
- [6:35 PM] Mizuki: Alicia took out her bag of holding and stuffed the arrowhead and bone inside it, avoiding to directly touch them. - "Lets take a look at those next time we get some rest."
- [6:35 PM] Faerie: Patching the weapons up wouldn't have crossed Razmik's mind - they weren't short on selection to begin with.
- [6:36 PM] Eon: "Indeed." Esker shakes her head. No need to get enamored with every starry object she found.
- [6:36 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: How are you picking them up, through a cloth?
- [6:36 PM] Eon: There was no Starry Wisdom to be found here.
- [6:36 PM] Mizuki: yes, Koga
- [6:36 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: As you pick up the arrowhead, you feel a strange empathy, Alicia. Empathy to kill... Strange creatures from beyond the stars.
- [6:36 PM] Eon: Esker just picks up the ring without protection.
- [6:37 PM] Eon: (An arrow of..)
- [6:37 PM] Faerie: ''...How can you know what object you'll be pulling out next time you put your hand into the bag, though?''
- [6:37 PM] Eon: (Well, its an arrowhead :thinking: )
- [6:37 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: A memory imprints upon you, of the arrow piercing a grotesque, otherworldly griffon, causing it to turn into a bloody mist as it pierces the griffon's unnatural hide.
- [6:38 PM] Eon: (Very likely arrow of eldritch slaying)
- [6:39 PM] Bot Fodder: It hadn't occured to John to use anything to pick the morningstar up. Uh... is that bad? Maybe this is why some adventurers he's met insisted on bringing calipers into dungeons.
- [6:39 PM] Mizuki: Alicia... Places the arrowhead inside the bag. Strange, was that a memory from the previous owner...? Or maybe something else?
- [6:39 PM] Eon: Still. No point dallying, she imagines.
- [6:40 PM] Eon: "We should identify these over a rest, yes.. Heavens know we need one, too."
- [6:40 PM] Faerie: ''What's the ring made of, Esker?'' Seemed fancy.
- [6:40 PM] Eon: "Shooting stars." She replies, matter of factly.
- [6:41 PM] Eon: She doesn't know jack about what its made of, of course!
- [6:41 PM] Faerie: Razmik was almost sure there was a spell Wizards could use to identify belongings, but... if only... if only he could remember the name...
- His mind draws a blank.
- [6:42 PM] Mizuki: "Well then, should we get some rest and let Elerith contact the king?" - She asked a little tired.
- [6:42 PM] Eon: "In that order, preferably." Esker nods, and motions for Nul to stop her task and ferry her up first, and John if need be.
- [6:42 PM] Eon: (Short rest first, I'ld say)
- [6:43 PM] Faerie: ''Well...'' Honestly, Razmik thinks Alicia seemed fine. Tired, definitely. ''That sounds fine''
- [6:44 PM] Faerie: On the other, Raz is mostly fine and less inclined to rest himself. 'Weariness is no excuse', he reminds himself.
- [6:44 PM] Bot Fodder: The nearby guard nods, turning his head about. Even empty, this place is weirding him out.
- [6:45 PM] Faerie: (Was anyone missing HP, anyway?)
- [6:45 PM] Eon: Esker does a little skip as she hops off Nul at the entrance of the Spelljammer.
- "You could always cook us a meal, I suppose.." She muses.
- [6:45 PM] Mizuki: "Then it's settled!" - Said the girl hopping back on Quartz and petting the wyvern.
- [6:45 PM] Mizuki: She heads back into the spelljammer
- [6:46 PM] Eon: Esker will tell Nul to store all the equipment she can gather in whatever the ship used for cargo for now, if they ever find the time, she could sift through it herself.
- [6:47 PM] Faerie: ''I hope you're alright with something quick.'' Razmik had other ideas in mind, but he apologizes to Esker. ''There's always something else to do, you see...''
- [6:47 PM] Faerie: (Is Nul a girl)
- [6:47 PM] Eon: Esker nods.
- [6:47 PM] Eon: (Its an elemental)
- [6:47 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (hue)
- [6:47 PM] Eon: (Do you want to check)
- [6:47 PM] Faerie: (Is it cute, though?)
- [6:47 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Nul swirls and sucks up the remaining trash in the alcove...
- [6:48 PM] Eon: (She's literal nothingness (
- [6:48 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... Some of which gets annilated.
- [6:48 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: roll 1d20
- [6:48 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20]: 13, Result: 13
- [6:48 PM] Eon: Esker shrugs. Those were probably too fragile to salvage, anyway.
- [6:48 PM] Bot Fodder: (... What happens if a familiar tries to reproduce using their physical body? :thinking: )
- [6:49 PM] Eon: But well, Esker stretches, and proceeds to sit cross legged.
- [6:49 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... Alicia.
- [6:49 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... No, nevermind.
- [6:49 PM] Faerie: Razmik stands idly by Recelle and the console, looking over her shoulder. He had promised Shadow good food, but that would have to wait until later, when the group would be ready to turn in for the night. Or day; he's not sure what time it is.
- [6:50 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: :thinking:
- [6:50 PM] Mizuki: (:blobsweats:)
- [6:50 PM] Eon: ( :thinking:
- [6:50 PM] Eon: Short rest time? Assuming Alicia doesn't get molested on her way back.
- [6:50 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The group of you recovered the treasures that you can find, and Recelle... Brings each one of you some towels, as you've managed to soak yourself with murky water.
- [6:51 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The cost of delving into the lake.
- [6:51 PM] Faerie: The current, palpable sense of urgency made him eager to mantain his gear and sit down to train.
- [6:51 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Regardless, short rest. Would you like to identify your possessions?
- [6:51 PM] Faerie: ''Ah, thanks... grime's so hard to get off armor, it's annoying.''
- [6:51 PM] Eon: Is the ring of shooting memes already full identified?
- [6:51 PM] Mizuki: (yes, please! Only one, right?)
- [6:51 PM] Faerie: (Yeah)
- [6:51 PM] Eon: Or do I just know that it is a ring of shooting stars.
- [6:52 PM] Faerie: (Also, Razmik reads his nerd book for most of the rest)
- [6:52 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Ring of Shooting Star's successfully identified.
- [6:52 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... Given that you have enough casters anyhow, with everyone putting their knowledge together, I'll let you know the items.
- [6:52 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Meteor
- This +2 morningstar acts as a Stone of Controlling Earth Elementals, and has 3 charges. It may activate the conjure elemental spell with a charge, or to spend a charge in order to deal additional 2d8 bludgeoning damage whenever the wielder strikes a creature with Meteor. The charges recharge at dawn.
- Crystalline Fingerbone
- Require Attunement.
- While attuned to the Crystalline Fingerbone, whenever you deal necrotic damage, treat all 1's and 2's on the damage dice rolls as 3's. You may use an Action to activate the fingerbone, pointing at a foe and speaking the command word, to cast Finger of Death.
- Favored Arrowhead of Aberration Slaying
- As Arrow of Slaying targetting Aberration. In addition, the arrow that fires the Favored Arrowhead returns to the shooter's quiver or hand (their choice) at the end of their turn, Reaction, or Legendary Action, and isn't spent.
- [6:53 PM] Mizuki: Alicia drops the content of the bag on the floor. - "Esker, give me some help here."
- [6:53 PM] Eon: erm.
- [6:53 PM] Eon: does the bone
- [6:53 PM] Eon: not have a limit
- [6:53 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... The fingerbone recharge at dawn.
- [6:53 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: 1 charge.
- [6:53 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: :V
- [6:53 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: I missed the "once per day" part. Ahem.
- [6:54 PM] Eon: "Hmm? Oh, yeah." Esker shuffles over, still distracted.
- [6:54 PM] Eon: (well, the fingerbone is nice, having Blight, don't think anyone else uses necrotic though)
- [6:54 PM] Faerie: ''Geez, this tome is huge...'' Razmik flips through its pages on the floor, overhearing the spellcasters playing roulette with the artifacts.
- [6:55 PM] Bot Fodder: (Do we know those names too?)
- [6:55 PM] Faerie: It certainly felt like he'd need more than just to read its contents to unlock their magic, contrary to what the merchane had advertised. Scammers...
- [6:55 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Yeah.)
- [6:55 PM] Bot Fodder: "... 'Meteor'?" John asks in disbelief. That's like something Shadow might come up with. Only he'd have appended 'blood' or 'darnkess' or something to it. "Seriously?"
- [6:55 PM] Eon: I assume Meteor's summon earth ele thing requires concentration like the Conjure Elemental spell, taking an action?
- [6:55 PM] Mizuki: "Esker, do you want this one?" - She asked picking the finger up. - "My hands are pretty full right now."
- [6:56 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: It's as if you cast the spell, so.
- [6:56 PM] Eon: Esker considers making a joke about fingers and hands, but decides against it.
- [6:56 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Let me know if anyone attune/reattune.
- [6:56 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Commence short rest.
- [6:56 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Well, and finalize short rest, I suppose!
- [6:57 PM] Eon: (man, I want to get the ring even though it doesn't actually do much for me)
- [6:57 PM] Faerie: Meteor is a cool name! Razmik glances, still trying to force himself through reading.
- [6:57 PM] Faerie: ''Hey, did you find anything useful or was most of it weird cultist stuff?''
- [6:57 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Recelle plays the maid for a moment, helping everyone get cleaned up and comfortable, with clean towels, wipes, and a fresh set of undercloth that the party (Recelle and Shadow) has procured while in town.
- [6:58 PM] Bot Fodder: (I need to go look up attunement rules again :sadpopo: I think they're not especially conductive to having sidearms.)
- [6:58 PM] Eon: Does the fingerbone use my spell save DC?
- [6:58 PM] Eon: and if so, can a non-caster attune to it?
- [6:59 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: It's casted as if a spell scroll; But a non-caster may attune to it.
- [6:59 PM] Faerie: (Meteor doesn't ask for attunement, but the rule's that you can attune or deattune over rests, short or long)
- [6:59 PM] Mizuki: (I don't think Raz and John would be willing to attune something like that!)
- [6:59 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The only benefit is that you can cast it without having the finger on your spell list.
- [6:59 PM] Eon: (Esker doesn't give a shit about that)
- [6:59 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (only DC etc is referred to by spell scroll of a 7th level spell, that's all)
- [7:00 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (So attack bonus of +10, DC of 18)
- [7:00 PM] Eon: Esker fingers the fingerbone for a bit.(edited)
- [7:00 PM] Faerie: (Well, no, a spellcasting boon for spellcasters would hardly be useful for melee-types. Attunement hurts, too)
- [7:00 PM] Bot Fodder: (Hm... Does anyone else want the shiny +2 weapon?)
- [7:01 PM] Eon: She could take the mantle off, she did look quite silly in it, with a robe and all already.
- [7:01 PM] Bot Fodder: (Oh, but it does piercing damage. Maybe Raz can use it?)
- [7:01 PM] Eon: (I have a +2 quarterstaff already, and in what universe am I going to melee?)
- [7:01 PM] Eon: (I also have Shillelagh if it really comes to that)
- [7:01 PM] Mizuki: Alicia waits for a moment... Maybe Shadow would like it more? Seems like his kind of item. She stares at the boy.
- [7:02 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Shadow is busy trying to draw some sort of rune on his left hand with a brush and red ink.
- [7:02 PM] Eon: ... Esker wonders if encouraging Shadow's.. tendencies was a good idea to begin with.
- [7:02 PM] Eon: "Shadow.. What is that?" She points to the rune.
- [7:02 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Pausing for a moment, he adds in some black ink to the red to darken the "sigil".
- [7:02 PM] Faerie: (I don't really care about carrying even more weapons, but it's basically free smites on a hammer. It's good, take it if you want)
- [7:03 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "... It's the seal that controls the darkness within me." Shadow says, glancing aside, "It channels the energy from within, and uses it in order to control my almighty power."
- [7:03 PM] Mizuki: (Eon!)
- [7:03 PM] Mizuki: (I'm going to ask Shadow!)
- [7:04 PM] Mizuki: (ur 2slow)
- [7:04 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Tot hides his face underneath himself, curling into a ball, in pure embarrassment.
- [7:04 PM] Eon: Esker glares at the 'sigil'. Did it actually mean anything?
- [7:04 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: No.
- [7:04 PM] Eon: Esker facepalms.
- [7:04 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The artistic value is sort of around 2 to 3 silver pieces.
- [7:04 PM] Mizuki: Alicia turns to Shadow, apparently Esker wasn't very interested. - "Hey Shadow, take a look at this thing here."
- [7:04 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: If Shadow tries to draw washable tattoos for a living, he might be able to maintain a lifestyle.
- [7:04 PM] Bot Fodder: "But... you didn't have that until just now," points out Cpt. Obvious.
- [7:04 PM] Faerie: That sounds like bullshit. Razmik wonders how the Jager never seemed to run out of weird things to say.
- [7:05 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Shadow puts down the brush. "Sup, fam?"
- [7:05 PM] Mizuki: Alicia gives the boy a brief explanation about how it works.
- [7:05 PM] Eon: (The ring isn't actually that good, huh)
- [7:05 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... He rubs the "seal" away, making a small mess.
- [7:05 PM] Eon: (but Starry Starry Esker is a fun meme)
- [7:06 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Picking up the fingerbone, starry-eyed. "This artifact of great darkness... It's resonating in my heart. Oh, oh, oh. I feel like I can write a poem on this."
- [7:06 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Tot snarls and chews Shadow's ankle.
- [7:06 PM] Faerie: He lets out a long, drawn out sigh. Razmik very much prefers having his spell focus (if that's what it was...) somewhere more practical.
- [7:06 PM] Bot Fodder: If he'd said 'No, I unlocked the true power within me in that last fight,' John might've bought it.
- [7:06 PM] Eon: (I can't stack 3 cubes from the last ability on the ring and deal 15d4 fire right :rainbowpopo: )
- [7:06 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "But uh..." Shadow shrugs, "I don't reallllllly have an use for this. I can take it, but nothing I have benefits from this."
- [7:06 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (esker pls go)
- [7:06 PM] Faerie: ''Wait, you can write? How come?'' Razmik stands up and paces back to Shadow.
- [7:07 PM] Eon: Esker blinks. Was she surrounded by illiterates?(edited)
- [7:07 PM] Faerie: He looks at the boy, expectant.
- [7:07 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Shadow blinks.
- [7:07 PM] Mizuki: "I don't think anyone has any use for it, except for casting the spell, I think." - Pointed out Alicia.
- [7:07 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Uh..." Shadow stares at Razmik. Stares.
- [7:07 PM] Eon: (I have Blight!)
- [7:08 PM] Faerie: (''HEY DM IS THAT FINGER EVIL?'')
- [7:08 PM] Eon: (I like the ring for the rp memes, but the bone is stronger)
- [7:08 PM] Bot Fodder: Even John has to make an effort not to stare. It must be because Razmik is from the country, unlike him. Armsdale isn't backwater in the least!
- [7:08 PM] Mizuki: (Alicia doesn't care about no dumb druid spells)
- [7:09 PM] Faerie: Well? Razmik stares back. Was Shadow trying to have a staring contest? Would he have to beat him to get access to his poems?
- [7:09 PM] Faerie: (What)
- [7:09 PM] Eon: Esker takes the ring for attunement.
- [7:09 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Shadow stares at Razmik some more, before turning away and pocketing the fingerbone. "I'll take this if there's nobody else that can use it."
- [7:09 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: List your current attunement, Esker.
- [7:09 PM] Eon: Slyphstick, Robe of Stars, Ring of Shooting Stars
- [7:09 PM] Faerie: (All PCs are literate by default, Shadow literally said something about writing poetry)
- [7:10 PM] Eon: (wew I am fucking stacked, but does no one want the thing?)
- [7:10 PM] Bot Fodder: (I'm fresh out of slots :sadpopo: )
- [7:11 PM] Faerie: (Salamander, Ring of Evasion and Cloak of Protection here)
- [7:11 PM] Faerie: (Man, where are Augus and co. anyways?)
- [7:11 PM] Faerie: (Outside the underdark or back in town?)
- [7:12 PM] Eon: (should be right next to us, iirc)
- [7:12 PM] Mizuki: Alicia then takes the arrowhead to Recelle, and explains what it is about. - "Maybe we could find a way to shoot this thing?"
- [7:12 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... Ahem
- [7:12 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Esker.
- [7:12 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Your Robe of Stars and Ring of Shooting Stars synchronizes.
- [7:12 PM] Eon: ...?
- [7:12 PM] Faerie: ''Can't you just, uh...'' Razmik gestures, putting his hands together
- [7:12 PM] Eon: :surprisedpopo:
- [7:12 PM] Bot Fodder: John puts... erm, Meteor... on his belt, next to his trusty wooden flail. His sidearm hasn't gotten much use lately, but he hasn't exactly been making arrests here.
- [7:13 PM] Faerie: ''Make an actual arrow out of it? It could be done, looking at the shape... But I'm no fletcher.''
- [7:13 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: A strange feeling swells within you, reminding you of the beautiful river of stars, ocean of stars, that you've seen from outside the spelljammer.
- [7:13 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: While attuned to the Rober and Ring of Stars, you gain the ability to conjure the Starbow.
- [7:13 PM] Eon: Esker shivers.
- [7:13 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Starbow
- You may manifest the Starbow, as a longbow or shortbow, as long as you are proficient with the form, as a bonus action. You may use the Starbow to make ranged weapon attacks, firing mundane arrows as ammunitions, as if it is a +2 weapon. You may instead use an Action to use the Starbow to make ranged spell attacks, firing bolts of energy in form of shooting stars, which deals 1d10 lightning damage, plus your dexterity modifier or a casting ability of your choice. The damage scales base on your level, following eldritch blast's progression.
- [7:13 PM] Eon: T-The Starbow?
- [7:14 PM] Bot Fodder: (S-set bonus?! :surprisedpopo:)
- [7:14 PM] Mizuki: (sugoooi)
- [7:14 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Augus? Augus is nearby, taking it easy.
- [7:14 PM] Eon: damage? Eblast scales with number of blasts
- [7:14 PM] Eon: (wait, can we meme the arrowhead with this)
- [7:14 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Rest of Augus's group is performing ship recharge where they are able, or taking it easy.
- [7:15 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Recelle ... frowns. She hasn't used a bow for the longest time, but forming a bullet out of a magic item... uh... maybe...?
- [7:15 PM] Eon: Esker blinks. That feeling..
- [7:15 PM] Eon: She raises her hand, and attempts to bring forth the Starbow.
- [7:15 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Yeah, the number of ranged magic attacks you fire is has eb's progression)
- [7:16 PM] Eon: ( :surprisedpopo: )(edited)
- [7:16 PM] Faerie: (What)
- [7:16 PM] Mizuki: Alicia doesn't know any others that know how to shoot in the team, no one has a a bow afte-
- [7:16 PM] Eon: (I'm a better warlock now)
- [7:16 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: a shimmer and burst occurs in your hand - and a bow made of pure energy, shimmer and shining like a torch, forms in your hand, Esker.
- [7:16 PM] Eon: "... Huh."
- [7:16 PM] Mizuki: Alicia turns to Esker.
- [7:16 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: It hums softly, awaiting for you to wield it.
- [7:16 PM] Faerie: (You're like a good Ranger now)
- [7:17 PM] Bot Fodder: "Sorry to get you all caught up in that mess," John says to Augus and company. They'd been in the ship when it was nearly swatted down, after all.
- [7:17 PM] Eon: "I... err. Hmm." She's a little taken aback at all of this.
- [7:17 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (You can use special arrows in place of mundane arrows, as per usual.)
- [7:17 PM] Faerie: (I mean, does this basically amount to extra attack?)
- [7:17 PM] Eon: (does the +2 weapon apply still if I use special arrow?)(edited)
- [7:17 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Augus whistles, "No, no - this is everyone's mess."
- [7:17 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (No)
- [7:17 PM] Eon: (o7)
- [7:18 PM] Eon: (lemme read up the arrow of slaying)
- [7:18 PM] Mizuki: Alicia turns to Recelle and shrugs, heading back to Esker's side.
- [7:18 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (You can use extra attacks only to fire it as normal.)
- [7:18 PM] Mizuki: She hands the druid the arrowhead.
- [7:18 PM] Eon: (wew, 6d10 is no joke)
- [7:18 PM] Eon: "... Erm."
- [7:18 PM] Faerie: Were they really in the ship? Ahh, that's right, by the tower's entrance...
- [7:19 PM] Eon: "I understand what you're getting at, Alicia, but I'm not a.." Does Esker know how to fletch?
- [7:19 PM] Faerie: The previous fights' details are a all a bit fuzzy to Razmik. It had been over so fast.
- [7:19 PM] Bot Fodder: (That reminds me... Esker should be able to learn Flame Arrows, right? :smugpopo: )
- [7:19 PM] Eon: (Does the arrow become non-magical after you pew it? Otherwise it seems weird for it to rebound)
- [7:19 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Well..." Shadow finishes attuning to things.
- [7:20 PM] Mizuki: "John knows a thing or two about woodworking." - She pointed out.
- [7:20 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (The arrowhead retains its magical properties.)
- [7:20 PM] Eon: (oh shit son)
- [7:20 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (But it only returns at the end of the round, not attack, so given extra attacks or bonus actions, it's not fast enough to return to you)
- [7:20 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (The return clause are end of round, reactions, or legendary actions.)
- [7:20 PM] Bot Fodder: "A-ahaha, well, I'm not really a pro or anything..." John chuckles and looks away bashfully.
- [7:20 PM] Eon: (yup, gotcha.)
- [7:20 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Ahem, TURN)
- [7:21 PM] Mizuki: (arcane recovery for lv4 Koga)
- [7:21 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Sure :ok_hand: )
- [7:21 PM] Eon: Esker wonders if its really as simple as sticking it on an arrow..
- [7:21 PM] Eon: Natural Recovery for 5
- [7:22 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... Seems to be that simple a matter, actually.
- [7:22 PM] Mizuki: (gonna get something to eat, brb)
- [7:22 PM] Faerie: Lorem ipsum dolor s- et cetera. Razmik gets up at last, fairly exhauted mentally. ''I wonder if there's any place in Orixia that still has fresh air. I miss the Garden...''
- [7:23 PM] Eon: "... If Ha- The King in Yellow does clear up the Wight Wind, probably."
- [7:23 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The air is always cold and fresh out there in Orixia. Unless the Wight Wind is blowing, in which case there's no guarantees.
- [7:23 PM] Faerie: The stench of putrid water still clinging onto his nostrils, he decides against going out of the tower for a quick walk. Better take a breather, as well...
- [7:23 PM] Eon: Esker reaffirms the task at hand, after their rest.
- [7:24 PM] Bot Fodder: John sighs. "Well, he said 'we'll talk'. There wasn't any promise that he'd help."
- [7:24 PM] Faerie: Fresh as in refreshing, not as ''oh dear god it hurts and I can't feel my brain''
- [7:24 PM] Eon: Esker nods. If.
- [7:25 PM] Faerie: ''Tsk. He better, look at all these dents we ended up putting on the Sword because of his request.''
- [7:25 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Elerith regards the group curiously, as if waiting.
- [7:26 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: She seems to have a certain... Glow to her, slightly flushed, as if excited.
- [7:26 PM] Faerie: Truthfully, Razmik's still irked with the way old ones went around doing as they pleased. Life's not fair, sometimes.
- [7:26 PM] Eon: "..." Esker will admit, she is getting cold feet with dealing eldritch beings from beyond the stars. Wasn't anyone else? But.. there was a task to be done.
- [7:27 PM] Bot Fodder: John notices her gaze. "I'm sorry to ask, but... are you ready? I know it must be awful, but we're on the clock..."
- [7:27 PM] Eon: (Wait for Mizu to be back, I think)
- [7:27 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Elerith nods.
- [7:27 PM] Mizuki: (I'm back)
- [7:27 PM] Eon: (oh ffs, I was about go wash up, literally, and someone uses the toilet)
- [7:27 PM] Eon: (just as well!)
- [7:28 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: She's taking her time, waiting, doodling a little on her sketchbook.
- [7:28 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Augus is watching her over her shoulder - an easy enough task given his height.
- [7:28 PM] Eon: Esker takes a deep breath. She still considered the whole deal a selfish request on their part..
- [7:28 PM] Eon: But well.
- [7:29 PM] Faerie: Razmik looks on again. Did anything that'd possibly help Elerith with her dealings come to mind? Anything that could lessen the strain of dialing Hastur again after such a short time?
- [7:29 PM] Eon: "Contact.. him, I suppose." She fumbles with her phrasing, unsure what the proper ettiquette for ringing up one's Great Old One patron was.
- [7:29 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Elerith puts down her drawing utensils, and nods. "Give me a moment."
- [7:29 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Augus places a hand on her shoulder, reassuringly.
- [7:30 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Vel glares at Elerith.
- [7:30 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ...
- [7:30 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: roll 1d100
- [7:30 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d100]: 37, Result: 37
- [7:30 PM] Bot Fodder: (If she ever rolls a 1 on that d100, will she die?)
- [7:30 PM] Faerie: (It would be extremely painful)
- [7:30 PM] Eon: (probably go cuckoo)
- [7:30 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: After a few minutes of ritual, Elerith's form shifts and changes, to something you are familiar with, having seen it before. The thin tendrils growing and forming as a robe, the iris changing to a strange symbol...
- [7:31 PM] Bot Fodder: (She's a big girl. :smugpopo: )
- [7:31 PM] Mizuki: (for you)
- [7:31 PM] Bot Fodder: ((For Augus.))
- [7:31 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: And, this time, a golden mask, unadorned, covering her face save for her lips, which curls up into a thin smile.
- [7:32 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Reaching up to nothingness, Elerith? pulls out an ancient tome from thin air, and flips it open to a certain page, touching a line...
- [7:32 PM] Faerie: ''Alright'', Razmik sits down a few feet away after dusting himself off (yes, before sitting down) and grips his holy symbol.
- [7:32 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "... I believe you have something to say." A strange voice rings in your mind.
- [7:33 PM] Eon: "..." Esker really should be unerved by this. But whether due to overexposure or the Razmik's.. presense, she shakes it off.
- [7:33 PM] Faerie: ''Indeed. We have done as requested. Blood for an audience.''
- [7:33 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Augus stands just a bit behind Elerith(?), looking at her calmly... His grasp on his warhammer tighening a little.
- [7:33 PM] Eon: (Should I offer Hastur goodberries)
- [7:33 PM] Bot Fodder: "... Please?" John says. His mother did teach him manners.(edited)
- [7:34 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "An audience you shall have." The King in Yellow laughs.
- [7:34 PM] Eon: (mood whiplash time)
- [7:34 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... The room fades, into what appears to be a stage for plays.
- [7:34 PM] Eon: With any luck, the Wight Wind should be easy to remove for him anyway..
- [7:34 PM] Eon: But any extra information they could get..
- [7:34 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Elerith(?) sits down promptly, on a wooden throne that seems to have materialized out of nowhere, levitating above the party.
- [7:35 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: While in presence of the King in Yellow, you have disadvantage to all checks, saves, and attacks that uses your mental stats (Int, Wis, Cha).
- [7:35 PM] Faerie: His heart races and his pulse quickens, yet Razmik's face remains outwardly... serious? Severe. He knows when not to bend like a twig, hence the effort.
- [7:35 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Well, speak!"
- [7:35 PM] Mizuki: "Say, King in Yellow." - Started Alicia - "In our travels, we came upon a so called abyssification of this realm, we're looking for any leads to stop it."
- [7:35 PM] Eon: (>attacks)
- [7:35 PM] Eon: ( :shockedpopo: )
- [7:35 PM] Mizuki: Priorities first! Better say it before Esker ruins the talking somehow.
- [7:36 PM] Eon: W-whatever was Alicia implying?
- [7:36 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: A strange music starts playing in the background, hauntingly beautiful, a performance made by a cello.
- [7:36 PM] Bot Fodder: (... Are you two fighting? :cryingpopo: )
- [7:36 PM] Eon: "..We again, want to put an end to Wight Wind, as well, of course."
- [7:36 PM] Eon: Esker tries to be as respectful as she can.
- [7:36 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ( for a lack of better, see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rv_9Ik-bP1o )
- [7:36 PM] Faerie: Razmik's not about to call him ''Your Honor'', but even he can appreciate the amusing shift in tone.
- [7:36 PM] Eon: ... This was way worse than dealing with the barons of Waterdeep..
- [7:37 PM] Eon: Well, the barons weren't Great Old Ones, but hey.
- [7:37 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "The abyssification? The Wight Wind?"
- [7:37 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Elerith(?) thinks for a moment, having finally turned his attention to the matter.
- [7:38 PM] Bot Fodder: John is mortified. Mortified because he's never seen a real king before!
- [7:38 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: You collectively feel a weight on your shoulder, suddenly, as if weakening, your spirit and soul being ripped from where you are. Augus and the others belonging to the realm of Nightmare disappears, leaving you with Shadow, Recelle, the Wyverns.
- [7:39 PM] Eon: "..." Esker really shouldn't have been surprised.
- [7:39 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "You have done me a service, this is true." Elerith(?) says, slowly.
- [7:39 PM] Eon: Hastur was beyond the Nightmare, of course.
- [7:40 PM] Mizuki: Alicia is surprised at the sudden change, but she stays firm, hearing every word from the king!
- [7:40 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "I shall grant each one of you a personal wish. Name it, mortals. Not the two chicks over there, however." He points to the wyverns, "I do not have a desire to give alm to the summoned beasts either."
- [7:40 PM] Faerie: Careless accidents, and just like that, a whole world ruined from the inside out. Ah, but were all Old Ones like that? Razmik couldn't say, but on occasion even humans know better than to handle those things and beings beneath them with care. Why couldn't something so supposedly above them?
- Those are but his racing thoughts, and as far as Razmik could tell, his thoughts were his own even in there...?
- [7:40 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Tot pouts.
- [7:41 PM] Eon: ... Esker shudders.
- [7:41 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "I am in a very good mood." Elerith(?) suggests. "Name it..."
- [7:41 PM] Bot Fodder: ... John has a feeling he specified the summons because he's been asked before.(edited)
- [7:41 PM] Eon: a Wish? From Hastur..
- [7:41 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: roll 1d4
- [7:41 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d4]: 2, Result: 2
- [7:41 PM] Eon: Esker hesitates, and fumbles at the implications.
- [7:41 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ".. Alicia, Ashwing, was it?" Elerith(?) turns to Alicia, his(?) lips smiling... Grinning.
- [7:41 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "You first."
- [7:41 PM] Eon: ( :shockedpopo: )
- [7:42 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Pressure mounts upon your shoulders, Alicia.
- [7:42 PM] Faerie: ''What are your terms, King?''
- [7:42 PM] Eon: (it just had to be Alicia and another wish right)
- [7:42 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Shhh. Quiet, Razmik Tarendar. It is not your time yet."
- [7:42 PM] Faerie: Even someone like Razmik knows enough of devils to always make that question first.
- [7:42 PM] Mizuki: Alicia gasps. That was beyond what she expected. She doesn't want to take a wish. Was it wise to refuse such a thing from the king in yellow though...?
- [7:42 PM] Eon: (I'm fairly sure Wish from GOO is very high on the monkey paw level)
- [7:42 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: She puts a finger to her lips, giving a small shhh sound.
- [7:42 PM] Bot Fodder: (Kogasaaa. You've given this party two wishes already, and now you're giving us more -- from an Old One, this time!)
- [7:42 PM] Faerie: If they answer, assume them to lie. If they don't, assume the worst.
- [7:43 PM] Bot Fodder: (This constitutes a form of baiting, sir.)
- [7:43 PM] Eon: Esker.. collects herself.
- [7:43 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Anything within my power, Alicia. Would you, say, like a magical tome of power?" Elerith suggests, pulling open her tome once more.
- [7:43 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "I know a playwright or two, yes." Elerith says, suggestively.
- [7:43 PM] Eon: (that's a ticket to insanity, right there.)
- [7:43 PM] Mizuki: She lowers her head momentarily, and stares back into the king. She reminds herself of how wish spells worked. What she needed was something not risky, something that wouldn't bring her or anyone else certain doom.
- [7:43 PM] Bot Fodder: A wish...? John doesn't have a clue how to respond. He hurriedly tries to think it through before his turn comes.
- [7:44 PM] Faerie: Razmik, heh. Interesting, did the change really go through on such a level? Was he Razmik even to Hastur now? Good news, at least.
- [7:44 PM] Faerie: Razmik fires Alicia a glance. He knows she's able to go about this properly.
- [7:44 PM] Eon: (I want to ask for information, but that's very easy to go insane from)
- [7:44 PM] Mizuki: (:firepopo:)
- [7:44 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Shadow ... pauses.
- [7:44 PM] Bot Fodder: (I have a great, horrible idea for what John asks... but brb, gotta use the restroom.)
- [7:45 PM] Mizuki: (Koga y u do dis)
- [7:45 PM] Eon: (i.e. How to get best end)
- [7:45 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... He fidgets a bit.
- [7:45 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "... Oh?" Elerith(?) turns to Shadow. "You there, Child of the First Light. Do you wish to say something?"
- [7:45 PM] Mizuki: (I DON'T KNOW)
- [7:46 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Shadow blinks.
- [7:46 PM] Eon: (I DON'T EITHER)
- [7:46 PM] Faerie: (Erich Zann's a very lit song, by the way)
- [7:46 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "I AM SHADOW, OF JAGER."
- [7:46 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "THE WINGS OF DOOM AND DESTRUCTION."
- [7:46 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Shadow blurts.
- [7:46 PM] Eon: "..."
- [7:46 PM] Eon: "..................."
- [7:46 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Shadow sweats bullets.
- [7:46 PM] Eon: Esker musters all of her composure to not facepalm.
- [7:46 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "... Uhuh." Elerith(?) nods.
- [7:47 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "... Uh..." Shadow blinks innocently, trying to process information for a moment.
- [7:48 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "... I wish to know, o great King, that if I have laid my father's spirit to rest easy in the divine realm." Shadow says, "I don't otherwise care for a wish."
- [7:48 PM] Mizuki: "I have no wishes to make." - Said the girl. - "I learned my lesson, things are supposed to be achieved with one's own strenght."(edited)
- [7:48 PM] Mizuki: She refuses the being's offer.
- [7:49 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Elerith(?) smirks. "... Indeed, the Hero Alexander's spirit rests in the divine realm of one nascent deity of light. I am unable to obtain more information, due to.. Ideaology differences."
- [7:49 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Elerith(?) nods to Alicia. "Then that shall be that."
- [7:49 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Azura hoots softly in response to the Elerith in front of you.
- [7:49 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: roll 1d3
- [7:49 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d3]: 3, Result: 3
- [7:49 PM] Faerie: Razmik nods, slowly. On the inside, he feels like getting up and giving Alicia a firm fist-bump right then and there.
- [7:50 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "... You, then, Esker." She turns to Esker. "What of your wish?"
- [7:50 PM] Mizuki: Alicia pets her familiar. She's certain she made the right choice. No more wishes.
- [7:52 PM] Eon: "King In Yellow.. I wish for the knowledge to the greatest extent I can comprehend without going insane, in order for me and my party, including Shadow and Recelle," She glances at Shadow and Recelle for a moment "to see this Nightmare to the end in what I would consider the best possible way."
- [7:52 PM] Eon: Esker hesitates.
- [7:52 PM] Eon: But the words had already left her lips.
- [7:53 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ..
- [7:53 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Elerith(?) shrugs.
- [7:53 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Declined." She says, "I have a direct interest in the matter."
- [7:54 PM] Eon: Hmm. At least she gleamed something from that.
- [7:54 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... She grins, toothily, the spiked maw showing malice. "Do not worry, it is in line with your interest. Next."
- [7:54 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: She turns to John. "You. Your wish?"
- [7:55 PM] Bot Fodder: (Back!)(edited)
- [7:55 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Recelle... pauses for a moment. "... Would you give Esker another chance at a wish, o King?"
- [7:55 PM] Eon: (Idk if we worry about Wight Wind with these wishes, tbh)
- [7:55 PM] Eon: Esker blinks. Recelle..?
- [7:56 PM] Bot Fodder: (Erm, I was gonna ask if anyone did that...)
- [7:56 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Elerith(?) shrugs. "Depends on my fancies."
- ... At least that's reasonable enough.
- [7:56 PM] Eon: A lot more reasonable than what she was expecting, at least!
- [7:56 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "... And how do you fancy, o King?" Recelle pushes the matter, buying the group time as well.
- [7:56 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "..." Elerith's lips purses, as if considering.
- [7:57 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "I fancy that, perchant, you shall not step out of the line, you poor little lamb." Elerith(?) grins.
- [7:58 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "But yes, another wish, since yours was rejected; But you'd have to wait, Esker."
- [7:58 PM] Bot Fodder: John glances over. "Uh. Is no one else going to ask...? Well, okay then."
- [7:59 PM] Faerie: Razmik waits for his turn.
- [7:59 PM] Eon: ... Esker fidgets. She doesn't know if another Wish was a boon or curse..
- [8:00 PM] Bot Fodder: "I wish for the Wight Wind to stop." John says it simply and earnestly. He doesn't know jack about gods or kings, but he knows the being before him could easily twist almost any wish one way or another. He doesn't worry about that; he only concerns himself with the problem in front of him.
- [8:00 PM] Eon: Still, it was an opportunity.
- [8:00 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Seems fair. Very well - the Wight Wind shall... Stop, you say? Then stop it shall - the Wight Wind will never blow again, forevermore." Elerith(?) grins.
- [8:01 PM] Eon: (The White Wind is also dead, isn't it.)
- [8:01 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Somewhere, elsewhere, elsewhen, a gear shifts in the grand scheme of the universe.
- [8:02 PM] Eon: What could she ask.. Esker's thoughts shift towards memories she thought to have supressed. The Crawling.. No, she shouldn't.
- [8:03 PM] Eon: That manner of horrific remembrance should be firmly planted in the deepest crevice of her mind.
- [8:03 PM] Bot Fodder: ... John feels really nervous about this. He has a feeling this is exactly what the King wanted. The guard can only hope it affects something far, far away from here. Perhaps he should have added 'in Orixia'...? No, no sense worrying about that now.
- [8:03 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Turning to Razmik, Elerith smiles, softly. "You, then. Your presence in my playwright's hall is rather intrusive, but I am the one that welcomed you, and giveth the audience. Speak then, Razmik Tarendar, of your wish."
- [8:05 PM] Eon: She glances to the rest, maybe they had an idea?
- [8:05 PM] Faerie: If Hastur really had no interest in helping the group secure a path to stop the Abyssification...
- No desire, longing or want of Razmik can be fulfilled by magic - and surely, not from something like that. He's incredibly, acutely aware of this fact, something he feels the slightest tinge of gratefulness for.
- Or will you say, in all of the Realms' history there's been ever a King-granted favor that's brought more than momentary power, wealth and fame? Razmik knows better than to ask for those, or to want them.
- [8:05 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Elerith's mask shifts a little...
- [8:06 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "..." She motions to speak, but stops.
- [8:06 PM] Faerie: Eternal peace amongst all people?
- Everflowing joy bathing every single part of every single world ever conceived like a straight ray of warm light?
- Being given the chance to finally reach his best self, a result that day after day of sharpening himself constantly - the striving for a better 'I' Lathander has so much to teach of - would never yield?
- Putting Nephelle's soul to rest, and putting everyone Razmik travels with out of the realm of Nightmares and back into their rightful places, where they belong?
- [8:06 PM] Faerie: That all sounds out of the scope of something like Hastur, wouldn't Razmik think?
- [8:06 PM] Faerie: His wish is simple.
- [8:06 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Shaking his head, he opens the strange tome in his hand, reading over a line with his finger...
- [8:06 PM] Mizuki: During the few seconds of which the being in front of her asked about her wish, Alicia thought of many things. Recelle, Shadow, Hime... and even Denalthir. But she knows best. That being in front of her is no real king, it's merely a trickster, looking for ways to exploit their wishes for it's own benefit or simple enjoyment. She will not put those people are risk because of him. She will find a solution with her own strenght and her trusted companions, not some tentacle abomination's magical powers.
- [8:07 PM] Faerie: Indeed, Razmik's at fault like only humans can.
- [8:08 PM] Faerie: He waits for the 'go' to talk.
- [8:09 PM] Bot Fodder: (He has it~ Elerith(?) asked Razmik to make his wish already.)(edited)
- [8:10 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: As more and more wishes are being made, strange shadows seeem to surround the stage. Whispering aristocrates, dancing maidens, giant horse-like monsters flying and carrying mens wielding staffs of iron and fire. Their words are empty and hollow, the lines they reiterate alien in idea.
- [8:10 PM] Eon: Esker muses and mulls, while time ticks away, but her thoughts are drawn to the past, again and again. She shakes her head slightly, quietly. This was unlike her, she swears, the focus is always on the present, but when handed something as powerful, as potent as a Wish..? She might be greedy, foolish, but.. Anything to help her friends, right?
- [8:11 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Elerith sits on the throne still, silent, reading and waiting for a response.
- [8:11 PM] Eon: Anything to help her friends.. Then why did she keep thinking to the past? Things that were discarded and gone..
- [8:11 PM] Bot Fodder: (... Oh, does Esker have a history now? :smugpopo: )
- [8:12 PM] Eon: (She had for a while, I just never told you :smugsatori: )
- [8:12 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (... By the by, who said anything about Wish? :rainbowpopo: : ... )
- [8:12 PM] Mizuki: (Eon, does Alicia know Esker's history?)
- [8:12 PM] Faerie: ''I wish for a garland, o King, woven from flowers taken from all sceneries us people from the Material can think of.'' No doubt he'll be familiar enough with people's sensibilities to choose something pleasing.
- [8:12 PM] Eon: (Other than what I have said IC, nope!)
- [8:12 PM] Eon: (... ruh oh.)
- [8:13 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "... " Elerith(?) pauses for a moment.
- [8:13 PM] Faerie: No sense to it. If those truly important things are beyond its grasp, and beyond Razmik's...
- This was vanity.
- [8:13 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Putting the tome away, and the pen, her delicate fingers dance... And yellow tendrlis, too.
- [8:13 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: All present, make a wisdom saving throw, DC 21.
- [8:13 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: roll 1d20
- [8:13 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20]: 8, Result: 8
- [8:13 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: roll 1d20
- [8:13 PM] Eon: (uh oh.)
- [8:13 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20]: 3, Result: 3
- [8:13 PM] Bot Fodder: (You broke it ;_; )
- [8:13 PM] Eon: roll 1d20+14 Raz please save me
- [8:13 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20+14]: 1, Result: 15
- [8:13 PM] Eon: ...
- [8:13 PM] Eon: .......
- [8:13 PM] Mizuki: roll 1d20+5 :blobsweats:
- [8:13 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20+5]: 17, Result: 22
- [8:14 PM] Faerie: roll 1d20+9
- [8:14 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20+9]: 9, Result: 18
- [8:14 PM] Eon: DO I HAVE FEAR OF GOOS
- [8:14 PM] Faerie: Inspiration, I guess
- [8:14 PM] Faerie: roll 1d20+9
- [8:14 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20+9]: 5, Result: 14
- [8:14 PM] Eon: (every single time man)
- [8:14 PM] Faerie: (>natural 1)
- [8:14 PM] Mizuki: (Alicia's the wisest)
- [8:14 PM] Faerie: (())
- [8:14 PM] Bot Fodder: (Aura applies?)
- [8:14 PM] Eon: (every time when it matters.)
- [8:14 PM] Eon: (yeah, I had +14)
- [8:14 PM] Bot Fodder: (What was the bonus again?)
- [8:14 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Insanity momentarily washes over your fragile mind, breaking and blocking your knowledge of what's happening - a protective reflex of the mind. But not for Alicia.
- [8:15 PM] Eon: (err, 10 base, 1 from item, 4 or so from Raz aura)
- [8:15 PM] Bot Fodder: roll 1d20+7 without aura
- [8:15 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20+7]: 13, Result: 20
- [8:16 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Alicia bears the burden of the impossible knowledge, as all form of flowers, possible or impossible, are formed, woven into a ring of conflicting nature. They all bloom eternally, locked in time and space, folded within an impossible geometry of itself, ring into ring into ring.
- [8:16 PM] Bot Fodder: (I made it with the aura, I guess?)(edited)
- [8:16 PM] Faerie: (Shouldn't it be higher? You have Resilient)
- [8:16 PM] Bot Fodder: (That's including resilient, but not any aura bonuses.)
- [8:17 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: So does John, I suppose, then.
- [8:17 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Both Alicia and John, both of you become momentarily insane, unable to comprehend the impossible reality.
- [8:17 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: However, from the depth of the insanity, you gain knowledge.
- [8:18 PM] Eon: (wait.. failing the save :thinking: )
- [8:18 PM] Faerie: (>monkey pawing a request for flowers)
- [8:18 PM] Bot Fodder: (Kek.)
- [8:18 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... You gain your choice of Nature or Herbalist Kit proficiency.
- [8:18 PM] Faerie: (I wonder if I'll ever see a Wish in DnD played straight)
- [8:18 PM] Mizuki: (Nature for me)
- [8:18 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Finally, as if straining to fold space upon space, and time upon space, and space upon time, Elerith strains.
- [8:19 PM] Faerie: (Besides the 'replicate a spell' usage :smugsatori:)
- [8:19 PM] Bot Fodder: (Kit for John.)
- [8:19 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... A garland of flowers, all flowers imaginable, forms in front of Razmik.
- [8:19 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: It's roughly 150 lb in weight.
- [8:19 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: And ... That's with compression of space.
- [8:19 PM] Eon: ... Esker blinks.
- [8:19 PM] Bot Fodder: (I feel like the 'replicate a spell' clause is simply a method some Wizards found for making Wish be immune to Monkey's Paw-ing.)
- [8:19 PM] Eon: The feeling was familiar, that stolen moment in time..
- [8:20 PM] Eon: And balks at the 'garland' before her.
- [8:20 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: You gain the Unknown, Unknown unknown of the Unknown, Razmik.
- [8:20 PM] Eon: ... What would a druid think of.. this?
- [8:20 PM] Faerie: Well, uh.
- That is decidedly not what Razmik had asked for.
- [8:20 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: It is unnatural, impossible, and an affont to all sort of things.
- [8:20 PM] Mizuki: Alicia stares at the GOO as it weaved the garland, her eyes empty, devoid of any color. She blinks and gasps, as impossible knowledge flows inside her mind.(edited)
- [8:20 PM] Eon: Esker supresses a grimace.
- [8:20 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ("think of")
- [8:21 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Turns out there are some impossibly insane folks dreaming of impossible flowers all the time.)
- [8:21 PM] Faerie: He's proverbially asked a king for his crown, though. Only time will tell if the slight will be remembered.
- [8:21 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (They join in and write a play. :smugsatori: )
- [8:21 PM] Eon: ... Impossible. Impossible things and objects and ideas keep appearing these days.
- [8:22 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "It is yours to bear, Razmik." Elerith(?) smiles.
- [8:22 PM] Eon: (>150 pound)
- [8:22 PM] Faerie: Which only goes to show how idiotic asking a real wish of it would be! Razmik is pleased with the relatively minor byproduct.
- [8:22 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... The garland floats, leaping at Razmik's head.
- [8:22 PM] Faerie: Just to be sure, it... doesn't look good, right?
- [8:22 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Make a dexterity save.
- [8:22 PM] Faerie: Nah.
- [8:22 PM] Faerie: roll 1d20+4
- [8:22 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20+4]: 18, Result: 22
- [8:22 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: This is to ensure you don't snap your neck, Razmik, so... Fortunately, you are fine.
- [8:23 PM] Bot Fodder: John stands completely stiff. He doesn't lose notability so much as turn to stone, for a moment. He stoically recovers from... whatever that was.
- [8:23 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The garland of flowers clamp down on your head.
- [8:23 PM] Faerie: ''...''
- [8:23 PM] Faerie: Razmik he's certain he can feel something that sounds like breathing from the garland.
- [8:23 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: You gain a 4th attunement slot, and are forced to attune to this unknown.
- [8:23 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: This unknown is Cursed, with unknown effect.
- [8:23 PM] Eon: ( :shockedpopo: )
- [8:23 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: It cannot be removed by mundane effects.
- [8:24 PM] Faerie: (Is magic mundane in this guy's book?)
- [8:24 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: While bearing 150 lb on your head, you have disadvantage to dexterity saves.
- [8:24 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Yes. :sadpopo: )
- [8:24 PM] Faerie: (That's just epic, my friend)
- [8:24 PM] Bot Fodder: (Is he treated as proficient with headbutting? :smugpopo: )
- [8:24 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... Note that's not the curse's effect, that's just from having to balance 150 lb by your neck.
- [8:24 PM] Faerie: (At least I got to meme Hastur)
- [8:25 PM] Eon: Esker grimaces for real, this time. All thoughts of a selfish request gone from her mind.
- [8:25 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Well, that was exhausting and hilarious!" Elerith cackles.(edited)
- [8:25 PM] Mizuki: (>ask for a garland >get memed)
- [8:25 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Now, now, then, who else?"
- [8:25 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Her gaze passes by Recelle, turning to Esker. "I believe you have a wish?"
- [8:25 PM] Faerie: ''Entertaining, for sure.'' Razmik smiles at El from his seat.(edited)
- [8:26 PM] Eon: "... Undo the garland and remove it from Razmik with no lingering effect I would consider negative, please."
- [8:26 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Elerith(?) pouts.
- [8:27 PM] Mizuki: Alicia stares at Raz horrified and turns to the others. The king in yellow desires nothing but to satisfy his sick sense of humor! - "Recelle... Shadow..."
- [8:27 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... Reaching out, she reaches through space, lifting the garland from Razmik's head, and places it gently in Razmik's hands.
- [8:27 PM] Mizuki: She shakes her head, worried.(edited)
- [8:27 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Your neck strains, Razmik, and you feel as if you lost a part of you...
- [8:27 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... But it soon passes.
- [8:27 PM] Eon: Esker sighs.
- [8:28 PM] Faerie: ''So soon is my reign over? Alas, I could have been a better ruler...'', he jeers.
- [8:28 PM] Eon: Good enough. She wonders why Razmik even slight-
- [8:28 PM] Mizuki: Alicia sighs, relieved.
- [8:28 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Hm? No no." Elerith(?) smiles, patting Razmik on the head.
- [8:28 PM] Eon: again? She stares, horrified.
- [8:28 PM] Eon: (hey hey koga)
- [8:28 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "When the time comes, when the stars align, Razmik."
- [8:29 PM] Eon: (does Raz have 4 attunement slots now)
- [8:29 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Yep)
- [8:29 PM] Faerie: It's unlikely Razmik'll manifest any uncomfort, saving face.
- [8:29 PM] Faerie: (what)
- [8:29 PM] Eon: (I said remove all negative effects on purpose)
- [8:29 PM] Faerie: (EON WHAT THE FUCK)
- [8:29 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Now, then, off you go." Elerith waves, "Unless you have more business remaining?"
- [8:29 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: roll 1d20
- [8:29 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20]: 19, Result: 19
- [8:30 PM] Bot Fodder: (Kek.)
- [8:30 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "... Sir, uh." Shadow raises his hand. "Recelle here haven't made a wish yet."
- [8:30 PM] Eon: ... Or Shadow, either.
- [8:30 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "..." Elerith(?) smiles thinly. "I have granted her her wish, and I shall keep my words."
- [8:30 PM] Bot Fodder: (He asked if his dad was in heaven. Awww.)
- [8:30 PM] Faerie: (Shadow did! His wish was probably the best one...)
- [8:30 PM] Eon: ... Ah.
- [8:30 PM] Eon: Right.
- [8:30 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ...
- [8:31 PM] Eon: Esker.. bows slightly.
- [8:31 PM] Faerie: (Well, besides John's. But that's because Hastur was an ass and decided to wish tax us)
- [8:31 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Tot raises his paw. "I believe I am on familiar contract, oh king. But I am theoretically an independent entity in participation to further your goal there earlier."
- [8:31 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ...
- [8:31 PM] Eon: "I.. hope we have been a pleasant aud-"
- [8:31 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Elerith(?) rubs the bottom of her mask.
- [8:31 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "... You are right. Very well, then, little demon. Speak of your desire."
- [8:32 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Tot grins, ear-to-ear.
- [8:32 PM] Eon: ... Esker stares at Azura.
- [8:32 PM] Faerie: Raz nods along Tot's words, considering. Tot really had been there, more or less. Was it really fair?
- He knew of no contract, but the gall to say something like that... impressive.
- [8:32 PM] Eon: ... But won't say anything of it.
- [8:32 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Azura shrugs. She's definitely a summoned creature, not someone you picked up and formed a pact with.
- [8:32 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "I wish..." ...
- [8:32 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Your memories fade from this point.
- [8:32 PM] Eon: She's more impressed that the owl could shrug, really! But she's no owl, of course.
- [8:33 PM] Eon: (Ruh oh.)(edited)
- [8:33 PM] Bot Fodder: (Oh goddamn it)
- [8:33 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... Momentarily, you woke up in the spelljammer.
- [8:33 PM] Eon: (so err, Raz)
- [8:33 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Elerith sleeps soundly, on Augus's lap.
- [8:33 PM] Eon: (you want my mantle of spell res or something :smugsatori: )
- [8:33 PM] Eon: "... That was surreal."
- [8:33 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Recelle seems a bit pale, but nods in agreement to Esker.
- [8:33 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Shadow muses, studying Tot, who bats his eyes innocently.
- [8:34 PM] Eon: Esker's heart skips a beat for a second.
- [8:34 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Tot crawls back into Shadow's shoulder, nestling softly.
- [8:34 PM] Faerie: Divine Sense
- [8:34 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ...
- [8:34 PM] Faerie: After which Razmik gets back on his feet, panting
- [8:34 PM] Eon: They didn't ask what they could do to stop the Abyssfication..
- [8:34 PM] Eon: Actually, she did, but denied..
- [8:34 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Well, you sense the usual - no undeads, no celestials, 1 demon.
- [8:35 PM] Eon: "... What did you ask, Tot?"
- [8:35 PM] Eon: She decides on the direct approach first.
- [8:35 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... Your hand itches, Razmik, as you holds onto 150 pound of flowers.
- [8:35 PM] Bot Fodder: "W-what happened?" John hurriedly asks. Everyone's safe?
- [8:35 PM] Faerie: His eyes struggle to focus. That had been TERRIBLE.
- [8:35 PM] Faerie: The garland there? He lets go of it
- [8:35 PM] Eon: Esker.. curiously examines the flowers.
- [8:35 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: It drops for an inch... and floats back into your backpack, forcing it open.
- [8:35 PM] Eon: She still wanted to.. know.
- [8:36 PM] Mizuki: Alicia rises surprised, and stares at the imp. She haven't forgotten that time in the tower, she does not trust the little imp. The girl runs up to the imp and tries to grab in my the neck, grinning her teeth.
- [8:36 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: You sense an sentience smirking at you from the crown.
- [8:36 PM] Mizuki: (I wanna roll for that)
- [8:36 PM] Faerie: ''Don't ask an Old One to do a gardener's job'', he concludes.
- [8:36 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... Tot won't resist, and dangles on your grasp. Shadow frowns.
- [8:36 PM] Eon: ... Esker stares at it.
- [8:36 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Well, I asked for..." Tot pauses.
- [8:36 PM] Faerie: At least, even in Orixia there was something new to learn every day!
- [8:36 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "... Something personal." Tot concludes.
- [8:37 PM] Eon: "Hello?" She begins.
- [8:37 PM] Mizuki: "You think I forgot?" - She asked with a shout.
- [8:37 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Tot shrugs a little, helplessly. "It's in your interest, do not worry, Ashwing, and it's not an idiotic wish."
- [8:37 PM] Eon: "Beyond slightly suspicious, yes." Esker turns her attention away from the crown.
- [8:37 PM] Eon: ... Tot speaking seriously.
- [8:37 PM] Eon: SUSPICIOUS.
- [8:37 PM] Mizuki: "I still remember, that time in the tower. Speak up you bastard." - She said still holding to the imp.
- [8:38 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Uh..." Shadow looks at Alicia, trying to calm her down...
- [8:38 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Tot dangles, swaying a little, his wings fluttering.
- [8:38 PM] Faerie: ''...What do you consider an idiotic wish?'', Razmik looks at the both of them.
- [8:38 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "What if I tell you, if I tell you, the wish would come undone, and hurt my buddies present?" Tot stares at Alicia.
- [8:39 PM] Eon: "... What kind of wish would you have to make for that?"
- [8:39 PM] Eon: "I already wished for the knowledge to reach our best goal, so.."
- [8:39 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Tot snarls softly. "I merely made sure of certain things to be True rather than False, Ashwing. Undoing it would bring you no joy."
- [8:39 PM] Eon: Her eyes narrow.
- [8:39 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Insight, Alicia.
- [8:40 PM] Eon: "Since when do you speak like that? Tot?"
- [8:40 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Since when I dangle on by my neck, fam." Tot says sarcastically.
- [8:40 PM] Faerie: Helpless (and being not able to help), Razmik sets his pack on the floor and says ''I'll reserve my own thoughts on the matter, but you can't really expect that to sound very believable''
- [8:40 PM] Mizuki: Azura narrows her owl eyes as well. - "Master..." - She started.
- [8:40 PM] Mizuki: Help action for that roll?
- [8:40 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Seems good.
- [8:40 PM] Mizuki: roll 2d20
- [8:40 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [2d20]: 11,11, Result: 22
- [8:40 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Oh, Razmik. Your scalp itches a little.
- [8:40 PM] Eon: Could.. Esker also..
- [8:41 PM] Bot Fodder: John frowns and puts his hands on his hips. "Tot. If I used that blessing from St. Cuthbert and asked you if you wished for something bad, would you still stick to that story?"
- [8:41 PM] Mizuki: (that's it, 11 :sadpopo:)
- [8:41 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Go right ahead." Tot nods. "You shouldn't trust a fiend, anyways."
- [8:42 PM] Bot Fodder: "... Nope, it's fine." John... smiles? It's a rare show of good faith. "I'll believe you. This time."
- [8:42 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: With Azura's help, you have discerned nothing useful. You aren't sure if Tot's malicious or not, Alicia.
- [8:42 PM] Faerie: ''Leave it be already, you all'', Razmik complains rubbing the tip of his nose.
- [8:42 PM] Eon: "..." Esker makes a mental note.
- [8:43 PM] Eon: "Anyhow."
- [8:43 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Shadow gently puts a hand on Tot's neck, and Alicia's hand, and give a small squeeze.
- [8:43 PM] Eon: "We should check on the Wight Wind, and its implications.."
- [8:43 PM] Mizuki: "If I find out you're lying... I'll be sure to make you pay for this." - Said the girl as she pushed the imp away from her.
- [8:43 PM] Faerie: ''It's not like Tot's absolutely unable to tell the truth, at any rate. And even if he were lying...''
- [8:43 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Shadow receives Tot gently, petting the little imp cat.
- [8:44 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Tot... Mewls softly, and hides within Shadow's cloak.
- [8:44 PM] Faerie: Sounds like Alicia had already threatened the Doomwing in his stead. ''Phew.''
- [8:44 PM] Mizuki: Alicia stares at Raz. Of couse he wouldn't know. He was dead.
- [8:44 PM] Bot Fodder: "Tot's been with us for a while, and he's gone through plenty as Shadow's familiar. I think he's earned one." John shrugs.
- [8:44 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Recelle is silent, thinking....
- [8:45 PM] Mizuki: She lowers her head, her hands shaky as she sat on a corner, thinking.
- [8:45 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "... I think... Tot's wish was one related to me." Recelle says, hesitant. "I don't remember..."
- [8:45 PM] Eon: Now what kind of wish would..
- [8:45 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Shadow blinks. "What do you mean?"
- [8:45 PM] Eon: Esker makes more mental notes.
- [8:45 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Recelle glances at Shadow... Tilting her head a little. "... Well, I don't remember. My memory faded out right before Tot said that wish, so..."
- [8:46 PM] Eon: "Faded out, or we were made to forget.."
- [8:46 PM] Faerie: ''If he's lying, what happens is what Alicia said. But that's if, and that's then. Were in the here, now.'' Razmik proclaimms, pointing out their priorities.
- [8:46 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "It's just... Something felt different now." Recelle flexes her hands, as if checking for manual dexterity.
- [8:47 PM] Eon: Esker had no illusions about Tot's potentially malicious actions, but she doubts they could resolve it here and now, not without.. consequences.
- [8:47 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "I, uh. I am glad, if it's like, something good, ahaha." Shadow says, scratching his head.
- [8:47 PM] Eon: "Anyhow."
- [8:47 PM] Eon: "What now?"
- [8:47 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Recelle smiles at Shadow, and nods. "Don't worry, fam."
- [8:47 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Indeed, what now, adventurers?
- [8:47 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Razmik, your scalp still feels funny.
- [8:48 PM] Faerie: ''Well...'' Pausing, Razmik lifts up his backpack onto his arms
- [8:48 PM] Eon: "We could, and probably should survey Orixia, and come to a conclusion on the Wight Wind."
- [8:48 PM] Faerie: ''Sorry to stop the show, but I'll have to find a way to get rid of this. Eventually.''
- [8:48 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Your backpack's, for some reason, getting lighter as you lift it. (The garland's weight has been reduced to 15 lbs)
- [8:48 PM] Faerie: He'll asks if anyone'd be so kind as if to take a look at it. No touching!
- [8:48 PM] Bot Fodder: John pauses and tilts his head in thought. Besides blacking out just now, he hasn't forgotten anything important, has he?
- [8:48 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Sure, fam." Shadow says, hopping over.
- [8:48 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: roll 1d20
- [8:48 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20]: 14, Result: 14
- [8:49 PM] Eon: "and then.. Something. This nightmare is still going on." She phrases nightmare specifically to not arise suspicion from Augus and the rest.
- [8:49 PM] Bot Fodder: ... Well, John can think of one. "Razmik, will it really be okay to wear that where people can see it...?"
- [8:49 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "... Uh, there's this strange, swirly bald spot. Or rather, like... a bite mark."
- [8:49 PM] Eon: Esker shakes her head.
- [8:49 PM] Eon: "Why did you have to slight something so much bigger than ourselves again?"
- [8:49 PM] Faerie: Raz conks himself in the head, freeing one of this hands from the pack. Nothing short of a jagged crown of rusted iron embedded onti his skull would stop him from whatever it was the group would do next.
- [8:49 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "It's like a question mark... Oh, the hair root's still there. It'll grow back, your hair's just messed up a little."
- [8:50 PM] Eon: "You wouldn't walk out to Orcus and tell him, albeit eloquently, to fuck off, now would you."
- [8:50 PM] Eon: "... A question mark?"
- [8:50 PM] Eon: Esker hops over herself to take a better look.
- [8:50 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Yeah, let me..."
- [8:50 PM] Eon: She prepares for the worst.
- [8:50 PM] Bot Fodder: "I don't know about that, Esker... the Yellow King seemed like it was having fun."
- [8:50 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Something like this.
- [8:50 PM] Eon: ...
- [8:50 PM] Eon: (ah fuck, I expected it.)
- [8:50 PM] Mizuki: (on who's head?)
- [8:51 PM] Eon: (Raz's)
- [8:51 PM] Eon: ... Did the sign look familiar to her?
- [8:51 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: A few gashes of bald spots, but nothing too bad. It'll grow back.
- [8:51 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: roll 1d20
- [8:51 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20]: 15, Result: 15
- [8:51 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Hm? You've seen it earlier.
- [8:51 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: In Elerith's eyes.
- [8:51 PM] Eon: (Elerith's eyes were)
- [8:51 PM] Eon: (yeah)
- [8:51 PM] Faerie: ''A question mark? I'd say it's a good fit, haha...''
- [8:51 PM] Eon: (does Esker recognise for what they are, though?)
- [8:52 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Mhmm! It's a strange symbol that drives those who've seen it slowly insane, if they are weak-willed.)
- [8:52 PM] Eon: Esker sighs.
- [8:52 PM] Bot Fodder: John laughs. He understood that reference! Yet, he can't help but feel offended as a guard. Hrm.
- [8:52 PM] Eon: "Looks like you have been branded, in some fashion."
- [8:52 PM] Faerie: ''Whatever it is, it doesn't matter as I can still do my job... is what I'd like to claim. Do you think we should be worried?'', he asks in earnest
- [8:52 PM] Eon: "Try not to go insane and turn into a tentacled abomination, now." She sighs.
- [8:53 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... It acts as a Symbol of Insanity for the next 30 days, whenever Razmik displays the top of his head in plain sight.
- [8:53 PM] Mizuki: Alicia gets up and examines the symbol on Raz's head as well, messing up his hair in an unceremonious way. - "Think this is the garland's doing?"
- [8:53 PM] Bot Fodder: "Or you could wear a hat," John adds.
- [8:53 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: DC is with Razmik's casting ability.
- [8:53 PM] Faerie: ''That's nonsense...'' Branded?
- [8:54 PM] Faerie: Razmik sniffs. ''I don't... feel anything weird in myself. It's not unholy in nature, at least''
- [8:54 PM] Eon: ... Esker was sure Raz wouldn't want to drive anyone insane, she knew that.
- [8:54 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Ah, you have control over its effect, Razmik. With a bonus action. Displaying the symbol is another matter, but you can "glow" or "dispel" the symbol any time during the next 30 days, or until some barber fixes your hair.
- [8:54 PM] Eon: >fixes your hair
- [8:54 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: There's a very, very easy solution to this effect, obviously.
- [8:55 PM] Faerie: (My casting ability's +3. Saves are 15)
- [8:55 PM] Eon: Can I Mending
- [8:55 PM] Eon: the hair
- [8:55 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ...
- [8:55 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Would you like to try, Esker?
- [8:55 PM] Eon: ... Sure.
- [8:55 PM] Eon: "Now, if you would stand still for 10 minutes.."
- [8:56 PM] Bot Fodder: (But... wouldn't that only mend nonliving hair? Think of the split ends!)
- [8:56 PM] Faerie: ''My hair? No, wait, that's fine! You don't have to -''
- [8:56 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: You try to put some strand of fallen hairs back together, ruffling Razmik's head and... You spent a few minutes, realizing that a Lesser Restoration would be a lot more prudent. Also, make me an intelligence save.
- [8:56 PM] Eon: roll 1d20+6 I regret nothing
- [8:56 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20+6]: 15, Result: 21
- [8:56 PM] Faerie: Razmik tries refusing Esker's offer, more concerned about the 'brand' itself
- [8:56 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (A Lesser Restoration will end the effect early.)
- [8:56 PM] Eon: ... Lesser Restoration.
- [8:56 PM] Faerie: ''Is there no telling what it is? Am I cursed?''
- [8:56 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ...
- [8:56 PM] Eon: Esker slaps her hand on his head.(edited)
- [8:57 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Razmik, your hair sprouts forth.
- [8:57 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: You are cured.
- [8:57 PM] Eon: "Done."
- [8:57 PM] Faerie: (I really wanted to know what the fuck it was)
- [8:57 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... Your hair's more supple and lengthy than before, even.
- [8:57 PM] Eon: (I'm not sure if you want a brand of the Yellow King on your head, tbh)
- [8:57 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: roll 1d4
- [8:57 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d4]: 1, Result: 1
- [8:57 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: You gain 1 inch of hair length, Razmik.
- [8:57 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: :smugsatori:
- [8:57 PM] Faerie: ''So soon? I could have done it myself, so...'' Razmik ponders. ''I'm not sure something so easy to dispel would be its actual effect...''
- [8:58 PM] Faerie: (Wait what)
- [8:58 PM] Bot Fodder: Is this how Druids grow their beads? :thinking: )
- [8:58 PM] Eon: (Esker could make bank off the rich fucks who have hair loss issues)
- [8:58 PM] Mizuki: Alicia will run to the closest mirror as well, and check her hair, eyes and whatever else. You never know when dealing with eldritch beings.
- [8:58 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Seems fine, Alicia.
- [8:58 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Azura chuckles a little from how careful you are being...
- [8:59 PM] Eon: Esker shrugs.
- [8:59 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... And helps checking you for signs.
- [8:59 PM] Eon: "Recelle, mind doing a flyby once we teleport out of here?"
- [8:59 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Nothing else strange seems to be going on.
- [8:59 PM] Faerie: ''Well...'', he tries unmessing the hair back into its usual, 'only slightly messy' state. Alicia's fault.
- [8:59 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Huh? Uh, yeah, right, ok."
- [8:59 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Recelle snaps back, and nods.
- [8:59 PM] Eon: Esker motions to the resident chunni for said, well.
- [8:59 PM] Eon: ...
- [8:59 PM] Eon: Where was that Gith?
- [8:59 PM] Mizuki: She sighs feeling a little silly and pets the owl. - "Azura, do you have any wishes?" - She asked.
- [8:59 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (The other solution is for Razmik to go bald)
- [9:00 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Inside the closet.
- [9:00 PM] Eon: (wasn't the other to cover his head)
- [9:00 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Azura hoots. "For you to become an archmage, Master. And then... We'll see." Azura states softly.
- [9:00 PM] Eon: ... Curious, when did he get back in there? No matter, she hauls him out with one hand, and conjures the Starbow with the other.
- [9:00 PM] Eon: "Know anything about this? Just checking."
- [9:00 PM] Bot Fodder: John glances at the closet. "You're going to feed him eventually, right?" John asks Esker.
- [9:00 PM] Faerie: ''Wow, this looks weird'', he finally comments following after Alicia, to the mirror. He's more or less worn his hair to the same lenght for the past several years.
- [9:01 PM] Eon: "Hmm? Oh, yeah." Esker takes out goodberries again.
- [9:01 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "N-no, pls, no the... no..." He mutters, shakened. And looks at the starbow, his expression blank. He doesn't know.
- [9:01 PM] Faerie: He still wonders where the extra hair comes from. Uh...
- [9:01 PM] Eon: She pops a few into the gibbering mess and shoves him back in.
- [9:01 PM] Faerie: ''Feed wh- oh, crud''
- [9:01 PM] Mizuki: She rests her right hand on Azura's head, thinking. And nods.
- [9:01 PM] Faerie: ''How hasn't he run out of air yet?!''
- [9:01 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The Githyanki warrior, once proud and noble, whimpers.
- [9:02 PM] Eon: She might have been forgetting something. Like maybe the closest wasn't his natural environment or something.
- [9:02 PM] Eon: Oh well, it wasn't important, she was sure!
- [9:02 PM] Eon: Still, she examines the Starbow as she returns to the party. What a curious, pretty thing..
- [9:02 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "I am thinking, maybe he's gotten used to the closet - dependency, maybe." Shadow suggest, "Back in the days some of my fams would refuse to leave jail for long."
- [9:03 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Something about stocks."
- [9:03 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Stockade syndrone?" Shadow muses.
- [9:03 PM] Eon: "Maybe he just need to come out of the closet from time to time."
- [9:03 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Recelle waves to the party. "Give the order and get Shadow the order."
- [9:03 PM] Eon: "Anyhow, wanna get us out of this cave?"
- [9:03 PM] Eon: ... The lake wasn't a particularly great sightseeing spot.
- [9:03 PM] Eon: Nor did they have the time for it.
- [9:04 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Aye, let's." Shadow nods.
- [9:04 PM] Bot Fodder: John clears his throat. "Also. Could you open the window for a bit?"
- [9:04 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: There's no functioning window to open in the bridge, unfortunately.
- [9:05 PM] Eon: Double checking, koga, I can only load special arrows with ranged weapon attacks, right?
- [9:05 PM] Faerie: ...that sounded like one of those weird problems Drow society had, to Razmik. Like the 'it's not cheating if you don't get caught' clause. It's good Shadow didn't get raised by them.
- [9:05 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Yep, Esker.
- [9:05 PM] Eon: shame.
- [9:05 PM] Eon: I guess +2 weapon makes it on par, actually, nevermind. does it still do piercing or lightning, though?(edited)
- [9:05 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... Shadow casts Dimension Door via amplifier.
- [9:05 PM] Bot Fodder: (John meant to make the wall transparent for viewing surroundings.)
- [9:05 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Piercing when fired physically)
- [9:06 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Unless your arrow transforms the damage type, or unless your other ability does)
- [9:06 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: With a small shimmer, you are back to the surface of Orixia.
- [9:06 PM] Faerie: ''Ah, uh...'' Razmik approaches Esker from behind, calling for her. He bos his head excessively, taking one of her hands into his.
- [9:06 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: It's dark outside, cloudy and snow blankets the land.
- [9:06 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The moons shine softly upon the pristine snow.
- [9:06 PM] Faerie: ''Thank you very much! For everything, back there and here''
- [9:07 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... Wait, is it dark?
- [9:07 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: roll 1d100
- [9:07 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d100]: 89, Result: 89
- [9:07 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ...
- [9:07 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Nevermind.
- [9:07 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: It's the daytime hours!
- [9:07 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: And, with that, in the distance, a tower is burning brightly!
- [9:07 PM] Eon: "Erm. Huh."
- [9:07 PM] Eon: "Was that there before?"
- [9:07 PM] Eon: She nudges the natives.
- [9:08 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: A cloud of black smoke, ashes, and melted abyssal ice rises up into the sky, causing a little local pollution.
- [9:08 PM] Faerie: (In the distance relative to our position as spectators, or do we see a burning tower from within our tower?)(edited)
- [9:08 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: It's a few miles down the road.
- [9:08 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "road"
- [9:08 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Augus blinks.
- [9:08 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "That would be, uh...."
- [9:08 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: roll 1d20
- [9:08 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20]: 6, Result: 6
- [9:08 PM] Mizuki: Alicia stares at the horizon. - "Is it really gone?" - She asked cautious.
- [9:08 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: roll 1d20+5
- [9:08 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20+5]: 7, Result: 12
- [9:08 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Nirvain,, quiet until now for some reason (sorry ;_;) mentions,(edited)
- [9:08 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "That would be the vampire's home in Orixia."
- [9:08 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: She chuckles softly, covering her smile with a fan.
- [9:09 PM] Bot Fodder: John watches as well. "Ah, that tower... what's happening to it?"
- [9:09 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Or that was."
- [9:09 PM] Eon: (w-who's.. Neville)
- [9:09 PM] Faerie: (Be right back, gotta go downstairs)
- [9:09 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (ffs, that was me making a mistake)
- [9:09 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (And not remembering key NPC's name LUL)
- [9:10 PM] Bot Fodder: (Well, there are a lot, so it's understandable~)
- [9:11 PM] Eon: "That would imply that the Wight Wind is indeed.. gone."
- [9:11 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The tower, formed of black ice and magic of the vampires, eternally protected by the Wight Wind from the sun, is in direct exposure to the sunlight.
- [9:11 PM] Mizuki: "A vampire, you say?" - Asked Alicia.
- [9:11 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: You have made many enemies today, adventurers.
- [9:11 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: And inadvertly slain like, a couple dozen vampires.
- [9:11 PM] Eon: Eh. Many friends too, she imagines.(edited)
- [9:12 PM] Faerie: (Honestly, I only remember Nirvain and El by name ;_;)
- [9:12 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (They don't give you XP though. :smugsatori: )
- [9:12 PM] Eon: "I wonder if they have anything valuable.."
- [9:12 PM] Mizuki: "Doesn't the wight wind stop from time to time though?" - Asked Alicia - "How did they survive during the downtime?"
- [9:12 PM] Faerie: Razmik beams, positively.
- [9:12 PM] Eon: Esker eyes gleam like a dagger's point. Or was that just a magpie?
- [9:13 PM] Bot Fodder: John blinks. "Wait. Wait. So, the tower burns in the light because vampires made it? I didn't know it worked like that." He suddenly feels rather ignorant.
- [9:13 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Well.. The vampire's tower's built at a location where the Wight Wind converges and flows eternally. Until now, that is." Nirvain explains. "I am surprised that their contingency didn't kick in."
- [9:13 PM] Faerie: ''The Dawn always comes. It's a sure thing, just as the sea is blue.''
- [9:13 PM] Faerie: Razmik doesn't know the sea's not actually blue, please don't break his heart
- [9:13 PM] Bot Fodder: (TFW never even interacted with the vampires)
- [9:13 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "I am surprised they didn't have a contingency." Augus comments positively. The vampires are enemies of the giants, anyways!
- [9:13 PM] Eon: In their defense, its probably been like that for a while. No one really questions that the sun will risr tomorrow, after all.
- [9:13 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Ha ha ha!" Augus laughs.
- [9:14 PM] Faerie: Still, he presents his symbol to the day, clasped tightly in his hand.
- [9:14 PM] Bot Fodder: John laughs, too! Why is he laughing!
- [9:14 PM] Eon: Esker nods, marginally satisfied.
- [9:14 PM] Eon: "... There is still more to do." She sighs.
- [9:14 PM] Bot Fodder: (John has henchman syndrome. :smugpopo:)
- [9:15 PM] Mizuki: Alicia shrugs. They already have plenty of enemies in Orixia, a few more won't hurt.
- [9:15 PM] Eon: (I'll pass the mantle of spell res to raz if you wanna attune to it)
- [9:15 PM] Faerie: Razmik's gone off, offering a prayer to the sun, and a note of gratitude to the new day. Very pleasing! It legitimately made him happy.
- [9:15 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... A cleansing wind blows, scattering the last remnent of the vampires in the wind, wiping most of them off Orixia.
- [9:15 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: What now, adventurers?
- [9:16 PM] Eon: The Nightmare still isn't over, so..
- [9:16 PM] Bot Fodder: John takes a deep breath. "All right. So now, that's one problem out of the way. But..." John looks up at the sky.
- [9:16 PM] Eon: She turns to the hole in the sky.
- [9:16 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The sky is bright and there's... Well, somewhere in the cloudy sky, there's a mirroring spell.
- [9:17 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: And you still have a plot to unveil, at least. Somewhere.
- [9:17 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Shadow momentarily ponders if he should tell Razmik that he can make zombies now, with Finger of Death.
- [9:17 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... And decide to not have the issue come up.
- [9:18 PM] Bot Fodder: (I-it might be a good idea to tell him that. Paladin Oaths and all.)
- [9:18 PM] Eon: (Nothing about undead in those tenets!)
- [9:18 PM] Eon: "So err."
- [9:18 PM] Eon: For lack of a better term..
- [9:18 PM] Eon: "Do we smite the moon?"
- [9:19 PM] Mizuki: "We still have no clue about how to proceed..." - Pointed out Alicia. - "Not like the Yellow King would tell us anything though."
- [9:19 PM] Mizuki: She turned to Esker.
- [9:19 PM] Faerie: (No the tenets, but Razmik is a devout of Lath! Still, he probably overheard)
- [9:20 PM] Eon: She shrugs. She tried ok?
- [9:20 PM] Mizuki: (man, sorry, I'm tired as hell, that's why I'm not typing much :sadpopo: )
- [9:20 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Back)
- [9:21 PM] Eon: (So.. Divination time?)
- [9:21 PM] Eon: (I don't even what to ask)
- [9:22 PM] Faerie: (He's simply remind Shadow that zombies or not, the finger was his to command. Like, for his own ends, which probably DON'T include the usage of undead goons)
- [9:22 PM] Faerie: (Does Divination rest at dawn or after a long rest?)
- [9:23 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Shadow decide to follow up zombie commands with "deanimate yourself" if any pops up, to make it a non-issue :sadpopo: )
- [9:23 PM] Eon: (Long)
- [9:23 PM] Eon: (Esker would just.. das a waste of resources, yo)
- [9:23 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (75% :excitedfish: )
- [9:24 PM] Eon: (Otherwise our only lead is like, smite the moon)
- [9:24 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (That's the most straightforward thing you can do, yes.)
- [9:24 PM] Mizuki: (maybe orbit the moon and look for any information)
- [9:25 PM] Eon: (I mean, the moon is sentient and causes insanity)
- [9:25 PM] Bot Fodder: "Hmmm..." John crosses his arms. "Well, remember Neph's hint. I'm probably missing something, but something in this world still needs fixing if we're going to save it from the moon-thing."
- [9:25 PM] Eon: (It could be Atropos for all we know.)
- [9:26 PM] Mizuki: "I can't think of anything other than investigating the moon itself..." - Said Alicia - "Might not be a very bright idea though."
- [9:26 PM] Eon: Esker fidgets. They were on a clock, still.
- [9:28 PM] Eon: (If nothing comes up, I'm taking that 75% divi)
- [9:28 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Recelle considers for a moment. Shaking her head and shrugging.
- [9:28 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (yare yare daze ☆)
- [9:29 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Shadow raises his hand. "Oh, oh, if we are looking for a solution to th-"
- [9:29 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: He looks at Augus and co.
- [9:29 PM] Eon: (Then again, risking campaign on 75% is probably too stupid)
- [9:29 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Augus shrugs a bit, "Well, Elerith's tired, I'll bring her back to her room, then."
- [9:29 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Augus and co has left - the rest of the tailing Augus as per usual.
- [9:30 PM] Eon: "Have fun."
- [9:30 PM] Eon: Esker says unironically, with no hint of inneundo
- [9:30 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "... Do you think Augus knows that there's something we are not telling him?" Shadow says, a bit sadly.
- [9:30 PM] Eon: Totally.
- [9:30 PM] Eon: "It.. won't matter, with any luck."
- [9:30 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "If he knows, he's man enough to not question us about it." Recelle says casually.
- [9:30 PM] Faerie: (Back, sorry)
- [9:31 PM] Faerie: (I went down to get a snack and my bathroom's toilet tank was acting up)
- [9:31 PM] Bot Fodder: "Ah, that's right." John glances at Augus as he exits. "We should bring Augus and his friends home soon."
- [9:32 PM] Mizuki: "Not like we have a choice in that matter." - Said Alicia with a sigh, reminding herself of Recelle. - "Should we investigate the moon then?"
- [9:32 PM] Bot Fodder: "I feel bad for relying on them all the time... And besides, bringing his people together could help us in the long run."
- [9:32 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Recelle seems ready to step on the proverbial gas.
- [9:33 PM] Eon: (Oh yeah, before I fucking forget, no divis under the moon)
- [9:33 PM] Bot Fodder: "But you're right. Let's see if the moon changed, first!"
- [9:34 PM] Faerie: Shadow had a fair point. You had to respect a man like Augus! Razmik recalls the secret handshake the half-giant had shown him earlier.
- [9:34 PM] Eon: Esker mulls over the whole deal.
- [9:34 PM] Eon: "I suppose, but try not to go insane, people."
- [9:34 PM] Faerie: ''...I'd have too much trouble keeping quiet if I knew something were wrong with my own world'', he confesses.
- [9:34 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Receiving the order, Recelle steers upward.
- [9:35 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Vrooom. The world goes relatively darker, as you escape whatever atmosphere the strangely shaped plane has.
- [9:35 PM] Bot Fodder: John looks over at Razmik briefly, morose. He doesn't say anything.
- [9:35 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: An ocean of star spreads before you, with an omnious moon that Recelle is flying toward.
- [9:36 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The dark moon seems to devour light and heat, eternally dark and cold.
- [9:36 PM] Faerie: Or well, keeping quiet AND still. Razmik suspect he'd get himself killed doing something dumb...
- [9:36 PM] Eon: The ocean of stars..
- [9:36 PM] Eon: But well, the moon was more important.
- [9:36 PM] Faerie: ''We're just taking a look, right? Alicia, does that eye of yours... In here...?''
- [9:36 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... Little (relative to the moon's size) tendrils wriths and contorts on the moon, as a maw seems to "yawn" a little...
- [9:37 PM] Faerie: ''I mean, outside. Not in here with us in the tower.''
- [9:37 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: It stirs quietly...
- [9:37 PM] Eon: Esker worries about Alicia's already relative fragile psyche
- [9:37 PM] Eon: An Arcane Eye would..
- [9:37 PM] Eon: Still, it was just so.. big.
- [9:38 PM] Mizuki: Alicia turns to Raz. - "Yeah, I can do that."
- [9:38 PM] Eon: The archmages on Orixia only in so far as obscures its influence over the world, not banished or destroyed it, so..
- [9:38 PM] Mizuki: "It's so big though... The eye isn't fast enough to investigate much of it."
- [9:39 PM] Eon: ( :troubledkoga: )
- NoLewding1
- [9:39 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "I am keeping a healthy distance, and let's not pay too much attention to it." Recelle whispers, "I think it can ... Hear our thoughts."(edited)
- [9:39 PM] Faerie: ''Amazing. The school of divination is really amazing'', he says surprised.
- [9:40 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "If we pay attention to it - like, like a deer in a forest, if you stare at it.. The deer knows." Recelle whispers again, softer.
- [9:40 PM] Eon: ... It was kind of hard to not think though.
- [9:40 PM] Faerie: It would be safe of him to assume that the Divination spell was, too, in fact, part of the Divination school of magic.
- [9:40 PM] Eon: What a twist!
- [9:40 PM] Eon: Still, Esker will remind that the moon fucks with divination spells.
- [9:41 PM] Bot Fodder: "... Then why don't they save themselves from becoming dinner?" John asks Recelle, ever the moodkiller.
- [9:41 PM] Faerie: ''So it's fine as long as we ignore it?'', asked Razmik looking the other way. ''Sounds like using the eye would be safer.''
- [9:41 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Hm? They do - or try to." Recelle explains the basis of hunting deers.
- [9:41 PM] Mizuki: "You think using my spell to investigate that thing would bring another small sun to us?" - Asked Alicia worried. - "I mean, that one you used was a divination spell as well.
- [9:41 PM] Eon: ... They wouldn't have to drive the spelljammer into that maw or anything would they
- [9:41 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Hunters tend to learn how to control their killing intent and..."
- [9:42 PM] Mizuki: "I don't think our vessel can withstand much more explosions..."
- [9:42 PM] Eon: The creature is vast, and must be battled from with- wait, where did that come from?
- [9:43 PM] Eon: Esker mumbles something about anti-scrying and her missing amulet.
- [9:43 PM] Bot Fodder: John smiles and nods. Killing intent? What, so deer can read minds? Perhaps it's an Elf thing...
- [9:43 PM] Faerie: Razmik knows he's not of much use when discussing such matters, so he keeps to the side for the most part. Something still made him wonder, though: ''You think divination spells as a whole? Esker was trying to seek guidance from Mielikki, after all...''
- [9:43 PM] Bot Fodder: "... Um, anyway. Just so we're clear: the moon is literally going to devour the world and everything, right? So, it's actually falling?" John fumbles with his words, trying to make sense of the senseless.
- [9:44 PM] Eon: Esker squints. Its like they could tell it was actively moving, could they?
- [9:44 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: It's hard to say.
- [9:44 PM] Eon: (... Could I feed the moon goodberries)
- [9:44 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Maybe.)
- [9:44 PM] Faerie: ''I'm... not sure, John.'' Not unexpected.
- [9:44 PM] Eon: (So err, can I spell amplify goodberries)
- [9:45 PM] Eon: (And cast them from a distance)
- [9:45 PM] Mizuki: (how far are we from the moon exactly?)
- [9:45 PM] Eon: "I think the eye is worth a shot, at any rate."
- [9:45 PM] Faerie: ''It could be that, or one of the princes could grab onto Orixia and drag it into the Abyss manually. Or...'', Razmik keeps listing increasingly implausible scenarios
- [9:45 PM] Eon: "And if an accident happens.." She conjures the Starbow.
- [9:46 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (can you cast goodberries at range of at least 5ft?)
- [9:46 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (And not touch range. :thinking: )
- [9:46 PM] Eon: (Erm. I forget)
- [9:46 PM] Faerie: (''Or maybe there was nothing to worry about until Tot made his wish, making the plane be in need of being saved'')
- [9:46 PM] Mizuki: Upon hearing Esker's words, Alicia has a completely different idea.
- [9:46 PM] Eon: (Dang it, its touch.)
- [9:47 PM] Eon: Esker shudders involuntarily.
- [9:47 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (huehuehue)
- [9:47 PM] Eon: Bad feeling.
- [9:47 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Tot is the BBEG)
- [9:47 PM] Mizuki: "What if we try to shoot that eye?" - She pointed to the moon. - "We're supposed to defeat it anyway, there's nothing to lose."
- [9:47 PM] Eon: ...
- [9:47 PM] Eon: Bad feeling confirmed.
- [9:47 PM] Eon: "Alicia."
- [9:47 PM] Eon: Esker pulls out the arrow.
- [9:47 PM] Mizuki: "I want to see how it reacts to an attack." - She said. - "Might give us some insight on what to do."
- [9:47 PM] Eon: "This is small."
- [9:47 PM] Eon: She points to the moon.
- [9:48 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Well
- [9:47 PM] Eon: "That is massive."
- [9:47 PM] Faerie: ''That'd be like walking up to Lolth's temple and trashing the place with no protection, in my eyes. Frankly, the idea worries me.''
- [9:48 PM] Eon: She gestures to prove her point.
- [9:48 PM] Mizuki: "I'm talking about the spelljammer's spears, obviously." - She sighed.(edited)
- [9:48 PM] Eon: "Less sarcastically. What if it wakes up and comes after us?"
- [9:48 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: You aren't 100% sure, but someone must've tried something similar before.
- [9:48 PM] Eon: "The spelljammer can't take too much more punishment anyway.."
- [9:48 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Considering the world's still there, it should be safe.
- [9:49 PM] Bot Fodder: John nods seriously, as if he'd considered it too. "It may come to that, but we'd have to get pretty close to reach it with our weapons -- even with the tower. It may not be a fight we can run from, once we start."
- [9:49 PM] Eon: (Were there 9 suns at first too)
- [9:49 PM] Mizuki: "Look at the size of that thing, we surely can outspeed it." - Insisted Alicia.
- [9:49 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (10, Eon, not 9)
- [9:49 PM] Faerie: Razmik's eyes shut close. ''You think it can do that? Just get up and come after us?''
- [9:49 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ( Kappa )
- [9:49 PM] Eon: "That kind of assumption is going to get us killed, Alicia.."
- [9:49 PM] Eon: (Was it 10? Idk)
- [9:49 PM] Faerie: ''There's also the possibility of it pulling us closer, hmm?''
- [9:49 PM] Faerie: That'd be bad news!
- [9:50 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Yeah, he had 10 arrows, someone took one so he won't meme everyone)
- [9:50 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (So 9 suns went down that day)
- [9:50 PM] Eon: "I'll say we scout it out with the Eye first."
- [9:50 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (It was day fo sho because the sun was up :smugsatori: )
- [9:50 PM] Eon: "Especially inside that maw."
- [9:50 PM] Faerie: (Wew)
- [9:50 PM] Mizuki: Alicia sighs. - "You know."
- [9:50 PM] Eon: "We could take the battle to.. inside of it." She frowns.
- [9:50 PM] Bot Fodder: "Well, magic or no magic," John says, pointing at the moon's alien surface, "I see something moving down there. There's no telling how far if could reach, if it tried."
- [9:51 PM] Mizuki: "If small suns appear inside our vessel, I'll have no way of stopping them like I did last time."
- [9:51 PM] Bot Fodder: "But, I had another idea."
- [9:51 PM] Eon: "We can just shoot them normally."
- [9:51 PM] Faerie: Razmik is ever mindful of the old and tested adage of ''don't start shit if you can't finish it''
- [9:52 PM] Faerie: He hums, agreeing with such words of wisdom.
- [9:52 PM] Eon: "Most of the issue the previous time was because we were surprised, too."
- [9:52 PM] Mizuki: "... Well then." - The girl heads to the spell amplifier. - "Should we give it a try?"
- [9:53 PM] Eon: Esker tugs on the Starbow's bow string.
- [9:53 PM] Eon: Ready action pew.
- [9:53 PM] Eon: At hostile target on sight
- [9:53 PM] Faerie: (Koga, can you give us the Prominence statblock just in case?)
- [9:53 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Well, you can see the moon :bloblul:
- [9:53 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: But I understand.
- [9:53 PM] Bot Fodder: "C-could we call it a last resort?" John suggests weakly.
- [9:54 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: And one moment.
- [9:54 PM] Eon: ... Still, it was kind of weird to pull a bow with no arrow.
- [9:54 PM] KogasaGaSagasa:
- [9:54 PM] KogasaGaSagasa:
- [9:54 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (My monitor's too small :thinking: )
- [9:54 PM] Faerie: (Oh, and what's the jammer at HP wise? I forget if you told us how much work our renewable fountains of magic Warlocks did)
- [9:55 PM] Eon: Oh yeah. It explodes on death.
- [9:55 PM] Faerie: (Thank you)
- [9:55 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Consider it to be at around 100ish)
- [9:55 PM] Faerie: (Yeah, if we want to take it down conventionally we'd need to memeshove the shit out of it)
- [9:55 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (And regen like 100ish per day)
- [9:55 PM] Eon: Actually.
- [9:56 PM] Eon: Esker nocks the Arrow of Returning Aberration Slaying instead.
- [9:56 PM] Faerie: (Mizu, Alicia doesn't know Rope Trick, right?)
- [9:56 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (HUE)
- [9:56 PM] Eon: Or ARAS for short.
- [9:56 PM] Faerie: (I suspect it might be able to OHKO the suns as well)
- [9:56 PM] Bot Fodder: (... I'm picturing a fighter stopping a crashing meteor from atop a mountain using Sentinel)
- [9:56 PM] Faerie: (That's the intended usage, yes)
- [9:56 PM] Bot Fodder: (KEK)
- [9:56 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Try Rope Tricking it)
- [9:57 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (I want to know :excitedfish: )
- [9:57 PM] Mizuki: (well then, ready?)
- [9:57 PM] Eon: Now.. where did the Prominence appear the last time?
- [9:57 PM] Faerie: Hmm.
- [9:57 PM] Bot Fodder: (... But really, can we be careful about this...?)
- [9:57 PM] Eon: She'll suggest the martials stand near Alicia and ready up.
- [9:57 PM] Faerie: Razmik assumes proper position atop Interloper.
- [9:57 PM] Faerie: ''Just, one last thing. How far can the eye travel?''
- [9:58 PM] Bot Fodder: (The ship's in bad shape, too.)
- [9:58 PM] Faerie: Razmik brings up what sounds like a real possibility to him: Miscast effects get more severe the closer they happen to their source
- [9:58 PM] Bot Fodder: (How did we eject the prominence before?)
- [9:58 PM] Eon: (I assumed the warlocks dumpstered slots, so we should be around 130ish?)
- [9:58 PM] Mizuki: "Azura, if something goes wrong, do your best." - Said Alicia. She has no idea what could happen.
- [9:58 PM] Eon: (Banishment)
- [9:58 PM] Mizuki: (I banished it)
- [9:58 PM] Faerie: (We didn't, Lexon and Raz had it grapplescared just by the shuttle and Alicia banished it)
- [9:59 PM] Bot Fodder: (Yeah, that's what I meant.)
- [9:59 PM] Faerie: (But yeah, how far away from it can we cast eye using the amplifier?)(edited)
- [9:59 PM] Bot Fodder: (Remember, though, that it did damage to our ship every turn, and if it explodes, the ship's done.)
- [10:00 PM] Bot Fodder: (How many slots do you have for Banish?)
- [10:00 PM] Eon: (If we can like, go to Underdark, and long range the eye)
- [10:00 PM] Eon: (Then we can so that instead)
- [10:00 PM] Faerie: (It only damaged our ship because Esker MM'd it seven times)
- [10:01 PM] Eon: (H-Hey)
- [10:01 PM] Bot Fodder: (Huh, it did damage because it was hit?)
- [10:01 PM] Eon: (We didn't know that then)
- [10:01 PM] Mizuki: As soon as everyone finished their preparations, Alicia closed her eyes, focusing on the moon while on the spell amplifier. She summons an orb of invisible light on it's surface to explore any possibilities.
- [10:01 PM] Faerie: (It's only ship-wrecking features proc when it's attacked)
- [10:01 PM] Faerie: (And yeah, Eon, I know)
- [10:02 PM] Faerie: (I'm just saying, the ship got that fucked up only because the sun got hit by 7 sources of damage at once)(edited)
- [10:02 PM] Eon: A bead of sweat rolls down the side of Esker's face, the bow string still taut, as she waits apprehensively.(edited)
- [10:02 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ...
- [10:02 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Alicia.
- [10:02 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Your eye hurts.
- [10:03 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Your arcane eye is successful, for a moment.
- [10:03 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Then it bursts.
- [10:03 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Give me a constitution save, Alicia.
- [10:03 PM] Faerie: Just in case, the Razmik/Interloper duo (considered one unit.png) prepares to shove away anything hostile that would appear in the tower.
- [10:03 PM] Eon: (Well.. then.)
- [10:03 PM] Mizuki: oll 1d20+2
- [10:03 PM] Bot Fodder: (Oh dear. Is this the fabled Permanent Injury check? :smugsatori: )
- [10:03 PM] Mizuki: roll 1d20+2
- [10:03 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20+2]: 15, Result: 17

- [10:04 PM] Mizuki: right, +3
- [10:04 PM] Bot Fodder: (Looks good!)
- [10:04 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Before the end of your arcane eye, you see... tendrils, eyes, maws, great black being... eggs, wombs,
- [10:04 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: roll 5d10
- [10:04 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [5d10]: 7,2,1,9,5, Result: 24
- [10:04 PM] Faerie: (You sprain your ankle instead of snapping your neck)
- [10:04 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Take 12 damage, and you are not blinded.
- [10:04 PM] Faerie: (W-wombs?)
- [10:04 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Your eyes are, however, bleeding.
- [10:04 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... A horrible, terrible creature the shade of the moon materializes, moaning weakly, wet all over with a strange liquid. It's obviously malnutriented, but that doesn't stop its evil intentions. Ten or twelve limbs staggers to stand, as a couple tendrils waves back and forth. The maws cries out weakly, in Deep Speech. It's... a Roper? That looks a bit stranger than usual. It falters for a moment, before falling over, dead. The stink of a dead premature eldritch baby fills the room, with the scent of a dead goat.
- [10:05 PM] Eon: "..."
- [10:05 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: As it's dead, it's not a hostile creature in technicality.
- [10:05 PM] Eon: Esker absentmindely fires at i-
- [10:05 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: You are free to mutilate the corpse, however.
- [10:05 PM] Mizuki: "A-Aahh!" - Shouted Alicia falling to the ground, her hands covering her eyes. - "It hurts...!"(edited)
- [10:05 PM] Faerie: ''Can...''
- [10:05 PM] Eon: "...!"
- [10:05 PM] Faerie: ''Can we pretend we didn't see this?''
- [10:05 PM] Eon: Esker runs over to Alicia.
- [10:06 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Azura cries out, rubbing her wing against you, softly, trying to calm you down, Alicia.
- [10:06 PM] Eon: "Oh fuck."
- [10:06 PM] Faerie: Razmik thinks of dragging the corpse out of the tower, before noticing Alicia.
- [10:06 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Everyone, Arcana check for the corpse.
- [10:06 PM] Faerie: roll 1d20-1
- [10:06 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: You ... Might not want to if you don't want to.
- [10:06 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20-1]: 16, Result: 15
- [10:06 PM] Bot Fodder: "..... Well. I'll get the mop." John says without missing a beat. He goes over to the closet and opens it. "Whoops, forgot you were in there, buddy!"
- [10:06 PM] Bot Fodder: roll 1d20
- [10:06 PM] Eon: And produces.. 12 goodberdies, and hands them to Alicia.
- [10:06 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20]: 20, Result: 20
- [10:06 PM] Faerie: (JOHN NO)
- [10:07 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... The Githyanki hands John a mop.(edited)
- [10:07 PM] Eon: Roll 1d20+1
- [10:07 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20+1]: 16, Result: 17
- [10:07 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ...
- [10:07 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: That's good enough.
- [10:07 PM] Mizuki: She slowly takes out her hands from her face, her eyes bleeding, completely horrified.
- [10:07 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: This is a premature Dark Young.
- [10:07 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Dark Young, of Shub-Niggurath, the mother of all the Great Old Ones in fell rumor.
- [10:08 PM] Faerie: He shakes the girl up. ''Hey-- c-can you open them? Damn it all, Alicia's bleeding from her eyes...!''
- [10:08 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The Black Goat of the Woods with a Thousand Young sends her greetings, it seems.
- [10:08 PM] Eon: ... Another one?
- [10:08 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The stink of the Dark Young wafts through the room, in a strange, disgusting... Tasty... smell.
- [10:08 PM] Faerie: Feeding her would take too long, so Razmik LoH for all damage
- [10:08 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: It's like a kid. Like, a goat young, not a humanoid kid.
- [10:08 PM] Eon: "..."
- [10:09 PM] Bot Fodder: John relays all this. But... how did he know any of that? He briefly recalls the dizzying experience when Razmik made his request to the King. Perhaps it's better not to ask...
- [10:09 PM] Eon: Esker would be fooling herself into thinking this would be like a real goat, wouldn't she..?
- [10:09 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Ahahahahaa
- [10:09 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: You have a Gourmand.
- [10:09 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Want to try?
- [10:09 PM] Eon: ...
- [10:09 PM] Mizuki: (LoH put me into full hp?)
- [10:09 PM] Eon: No thank you.
- [10:09 PM] Bot Fodder: (Senbei no pls)
- [10:09 PM] Eon: (Just eat 12 berries mang)
- [10:10 PM] Eon: (I have literally more than a hundred)
- [10:10 PM] Faerie: ''...say something!'', he pushes both thumbs against Alicia's eyes lightly, stopping before contact is made. Probably a bit disorientating, but it won't blind her either.
- [10:10 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (wew)
- [10:10 PM] Faerie: (>bleeding from your eyes
- >it's just 12 damage
- :thinking:)
- [10:10 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Shadow mewls softly. (?) and comforts Alicia as well. "Fam, you alright?"
- [10:10 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "I mean, uh..."
- [10:10 PM] Eon: Esker jumps back.
- [10:11 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Shadow panics a little, trying to comfort Alicia like a bumbling fool.
- [10:11 PM] Eon: Now Shadow was just weird!
- [10:11 PM] Eon: Weirder!
- [10:11 PM] Eon: Esker takes a deep breath, regardless.
- [10:11 PM] Mizuki: She reaches for Raz's shoulder, getting up slowly, shaky. - "I..."
- [10:11 PM] Eon: "Maybe.. I should examine the.. corpse?"(edited)
- [10:11 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "I, I, I THINK IT LOOKS COOL, DON'T WORRY!"
- [10:11 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Shadow blurts out.
- [10:11 PM] Bot Fodder: John does an excellent job of not overreacting. He's starting to expect this of spellcasting, lately.
- [10:11 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "... S-sorry, I mean, uh, is- I'll get towels!"
- [10:11 PM] Mizuki: She rubs her eyes on the corner of her cloak carefully. - "I-I'm alright."
- [10:12 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Shadow dashes out, then back in, and open the closet. The Githyanki hands Shadow some towels.
- [10:12 PM] Faerie: That looked... bad. That is Razmik's professional opinion on the matter.
- [10:12 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Shadow dampens them and applies a cool, soothing towel to Alicia's eyes.
- [10:12 PM] Mizuki: She gets up shaking and vomits as she sees the creature inside the room, taking deep breathes.
- [10:12 PM] Mizuki: roll 1d20+8 arcana
- [10:12 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20+8]: 5, Result: 13
- [10:13 PM] Eon: Kogapls
- [10:13 PM] Faerie: ''There, there... let's get your eyes cleaned'', placing a hand on Alicia's arm, which in turn is placed on his shoulder shit it's like playing Twister but gorier
- [10:13 PM] Eon: Esker pokes at the beast.
- [10:13 PM] Eon: "Hmm.."
- [10:13 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: It's wet.
- [10:14 PM] Eon: "I wonder.."
- [10:14 PM] Mizuki: She cleans her face with Shadow's towel. - "I'll... lay down for a while."
- [10:14 PM] Bot Fodder: (>the Githyanki sees the dead spacegoat fetus and only thinks "Another day at the office.")
- [10:14 PM] Eon: Morbid curiousity..
- [10:14 PM] Faerie: Seeing Alicia shaken like that was not a sight Razmik was used to. Nor a pleasing one. ''A-are you really fine?''
- [10:14 PM] Eon: "We could bring it back to life."
- [10:14 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Shadow pats Alicia, while Azura does the same. "Uh, uh. Uh, uh, I'll... Uhh..." Alicia's fully healed and all, and Shadow have 0 idea what to do and panicks.
- [10:15 PM] Eon: A.. strange look on her face.
- [10:15 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (W E W)
- [10:15 PM] Bot Fodder: John can't help but steal worried glances over at Alicia. He's trying not to crowd her, but... is that too cold?
- [10:15 PM] Mizuki: Alicia moves to a corner, a bit limp while holding on to Razmik.
- [10:15 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Spoiler: It would fail as it was never "alive" by definition - but you can make an undead of the fetus.)
- [10:15 PM] Eon: (Oh god are we getting into abortion ethics)
- [10:15 PM] Bot Fodder: (>/pol/ ensues)
- [10:15 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (hue)
- [10:16 PM] Mizuki: She explains the others what she saw, stopping from time to time to breathe.
- [10:16 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (it's not developed enough for normal revival - reincarnation would work, however)
- [10:16 PM] Eon: "... Hmm. I should.. dissect this, at any rate."
- [10:16 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Of course, it's free to refuse it)
- [10:16 PM] Faerie: Razmik takes a breath in, refusing the urge to heave. He turns to Esker, visibly concerned ''Thanks for the mental image...''
- [10:16 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (... That, and iirc reincarnation stripulates humanoid corpse)
- [10:17 PM] Eon: ... She's a bit regretful she couldn't help Alicia more, but still.
- [10:17 PM] Bot Fodder: "... Erm, does it have to be in here?" John asks. Recycled air supply and all.
- [10:17 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: By the by, did anyone understood Deep Speech?
- [10:17 PM] Eon: Elerith
- [10:17 PM] Eon: Except..
- [10:17 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: She's not here.
- [10:17 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: :smugpopo:
- [10:17 PM] Eon: Dammit.
- [10:17 PM] Eon: Alicia probably is Observant enough to hear it and pass it to Elerith riiight.
- [10:18 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (btw, if Alicia fail that check she's go blind permanently, until cured LUL)
- [10:18 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Yeah, that's fine.
- [10:18 PM] Faerie: (OH GOD)
- [10:18 PM] Mizuki: (what was the DC? :blobsweats:)
- [10:18 PM] Bot Fodder: (Does it count as a disease, or would it need Regeneration?)
- [10:18 PM] Eon: (I have greater resto)
- [10:18 PM] Bot Fodder: (Or that.)
- [10:18 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Like... not high)
- [10:18 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Greater resto will work just fine, yeah)
- [10:19 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Should've went blind so Esker can show off her magical healing capabilities :thinking: )
- [10:19 PM] Eon: (Muh spellslots)
- [10:19 PM] Faerie: ''Are you still nauseous? Esker of me could help with that, uh...'' Razmik tries giving the girl some space ''I, if you just need something to hold onto I'm here, alright? How are your eyes?''
- [10:19 PM] Eon: Anyhow, Esker will.. get to work.
- [10:19 PM] Faerie: (Would you need to, like, grow her eyes back or something?)
- [10:19 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (A greater resto will be fine)
- [10:20 PM] Eon: She wasn't a surgeon, but knowing thy enemy and all that..
- [10:20 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Alicia's fine and all, if crowded by too many people showing her concern.
- [10:20 PM] Eon: (At absolute worst we kill Alicia and reincarnate here.)
- [10:20 PM] Faerie: (It's not, like, the 'normal' Blinded condition, right? Because Lesser also cures that)
- [10:20 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: In fact, Alicia's eye's probably finer than before, having been cleaned a little. :thinking:
- [10:20 PM] Bot Fodder: John helps clean up after Esker as she proceeds. This... isn't normally what a druid does, is it? :sadpopo: "Hey, Esker... are you sure you're not a wizard?"
- [10:20 PM] Mizuki: "They're... Fine." - Answered the girl dismissing any extra cares. - "I just need some time to breathe."
- [10:21 PM] Faerie: Yeah, concern's fine and normal. It's not every day that you see someone bleeding throuh their eye sockets like a bad creepypasta.
- [10:21 PM] Eon: "Quite sure." Esker murmurs over her musings.
- [10:21 PM] Bot Fodder: John waves to Alicia from across the deck, glad to see her recovered.
- [10:21 PM] Eon: Esker has seen a goat before! Probably been one a few times.
- [10:21 PM] Mizuki: She opens her spellbook and stares at the words. Blurry.
- [10:21 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (btw, I don't have sheet for Dark Young yet, so)
- [10:22 PM] Mizuki: She closes her eyes and leans against the wall for a moment.
- [10:22 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Don't ask, I have nothing to give)
- [10:22 PM] Eon: Maybe not of the eldritch nature, no..
- [10:22 PM] Eon: (Hmm? Can just log it for future~)
- [10:22 PM] Eon: Regardless, can she attempt to gleam information off dissection?
- [10:22 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Well, sure.
- [10:23 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: It's a sanity grinding task, but,
- [10:23 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Fortunately, we are not using sanity system.
- [10:23 PM] Faerie: Razmik doesn't feel well in the slightest. It might be the atmosphere of the scene rubbing onto him (shit was creepy, yo), but...
- [10:23 PM] Eon: Eh, Esker hit SAN 0 before!
- [10:23 PM] Bot Fodder: It could also be the smell, John thinks!
- [10:23 PM] Eon: She got better, she would tell you.
- [10:24 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Alicia, your eyes are fine!
- [10:24 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Your arcane eye, not so much.
- [10:24 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: But your eyes are fine, yes.
- [10:24 PM] Faerie: What is he going to do the next time something horrifying happens to someone and he's not able to do anything about it? At this point, it's more of a 'when' than an 'if'! And Alicia, of all people.
- [10:24 PM] Faerie: Sadmik lookt as John and Esker working the fetus baby.
- [10:24 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Flag raised, route established)
- [10:24 PM] Faerie: (NO)
- [10:25 PM] Eon: (I can hear the wedding bells already)
- [10:25 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: You cut up the premature Dark Young, studying the being.
- [10:25 PM] Faerie: (Also >your eyes are fine
- >Except the arcane one, that one fucking exploded)
- [10:25 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The outer shell's hardy, the teeth are horrifyingly sharp, if soft and underdeveloped. It seems to be an eating machine.
- [10:25 PM] Eon: Esker works her dagger quietly, observing.
- [10:26 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The tendrils seems to be squidlike at the first glance, but it quickly shows that there's more to it than that. You are not quite sure, however, what the "more" part is.
- [10:26 PM] Bot Fodder: (I'm gonna grab a shower. I'll try to hurry!)
- [10:26 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The limbs are distinctively like that of the little goats.
- [10:26 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The organs... The organs are a mess. But that's common enough for aberrations.
- [10:27 PM] Eon: Esker nods. Clearly not actually a beast.
- [10:27 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: They make no sense, and this creature shouldn't function, in a normal environment.
- [10:27 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: In fact, it has no discernable eyes.
- [10:27 PM] Eon: But, well. That was expected.
- [10:27 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ...
- [10:27 PM] Eon: Not the eyeless part, Esker will note.
- [10:27 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: You have produced 20 pounds of Dark Young meat.
- [10:28 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: It is, in theory, sterile.
- [10:28 PM] Eon: Esker would like the forces that be to stop tempting them to make steak out of abberations.
- [10:28 PM] Bot Fodder: (Also, I have a course of action to propose. ...)
- [10:28 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Horrific Suggestion spell from GM aside.
- [10:29 PM] Eon: No one wanted to eat the Aboleth!
- [10:29 PM] Mizuki: Alicia isn't eating that! :blobnauseated:
- [10:29 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (What if I tell you it tastes like a wild ride :smugpopo: )
- [10:29 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ( ahem)
- [10:29 PM] Eon: Esker doubted even Razmik could prepare something so..
- [10:29 PM] Eon: Wrong.
- [10:30 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Would you like to find out, Esker?
- [10:30 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Would you like Razmik to find out?
- [10:30 PM] Eon: Again, no thank you, forces that be.
- [10:30 PM] Eon: Esker sighs, no leads, and a Dark Young carcass to boot.
- [10:30 PM] Eon: She'll clean this up.
- [10:30 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Hmm.
- [10:30 PM] Faerie: Razmik wouldn't! There are things in this world better left untouched, be it food or magic.
- [10:31 PM] Eon: "Might want to pass that Deep Speech to Elerith."
- [10:31 PM] Eon: She mutters while heaving the corpse
- [10:31 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Maybe, uh." Shadow mutters
- [10:31 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "... Speak with the dead?"
- [10:31 PM] Mizuki: (question is)
- [10:31 PM] Mizuki: (what would Senbei do?)
- [10:31 PM] Eon: Esker stares at Shadow.
- [10:31 PM] Faerie: (List of things:
- -Friends, demons, fetuses, undead
- And any combination of the above)
- [10:31 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (ALLEZ)
- [10:31 PM] Faerie: (Senbei's already seasoning it)
- [10:32 PM] Eon: To be fair, she did suggest resurrecting it for some unfathomable reason.
- [10:32 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Well, back- back you know where." Shadow says, "That was a way to gather information from those who died but haven't turned yet."
- [10:32 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "And people die a lot, but like, it was mostly the clerics from the Complex that know the spell..."
- [10:33 PM] Eon: "And.. where would we find one of those in Orixia?"
- [10:33 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Shadow ponders. :thinking:
- [10:33 PM] Eon: Clerics. Clerics..
- [10:33 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: There's a distinct lack of clerics in the party.
- [10:33 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Both parties, actually - the other healer is a favored soul.
- [10:34 PM] Eon: ... Does she have Speak with Dad?
- [10:34 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Unfortunately.
- [10:34 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (No.)
- [10:34 PM] Mizuki: (Speak with Dad™)
- [10:34 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: What now?
- [10:35 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Recelle urges, "I don't mean to interrupt, but we've already got its attention - the moon's..."
- [10:35 PM] Eon: Esker thinks getting that ominous Dark Speech translated first is a good idea.
- [10:35 PM] Eon: Beyond that..
- [10:35 PM] Eon: Run.
- [10:35 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Righto.
- [10:35 PM] Mizuki: Alicia gets up, loses her balance and leans on the wall to stay up. - "Get that thing out of my sight." - She said nauseated.
- [10:35 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Elerith would come up on request, and help with the sound.
- [10:35 PM] Eon: And then divination.. something.
- [10:35 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "...?" Elerith asks. Silently, yawning a little from the ritual earlier. Despite it all, she seems... More energized than usual.
- [10:36 PM] Mizuki: "Lets get the hell out of here, and rest, there's no point in walking around without any leads like this."
- [10:36 PM] Eon: ... Esker is marginally concerned about that!
- [10:36 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ... Seems good.
- [10:36 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Where to?" Recelle asks, stirring to turn around.
- [10:36 PM] Mizuki: "Orixia."
- [10:37 PM] Faerie: Razmik accepts as well. That was the last of Alicia's eyeballs, right?
- [10:37 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Recelle says, "Aye aye." And dives for the ground.
- [10:37 PM] Faerie: more like fireballs who am I kidding
- [10:37 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Orixia's ground, that is, re-entry'ing.
- [10:37 PM] Eon: Esker was about to ask if they threw the corpse out of the airlock, but..
- [10:37 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Hovering in the stratosphere for a bit, hopefully outside of the moon's sight, you are able to take a momentary breather.
- [10:38 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ...
- [10:38 PM] Eon: Maybe show it to the resident GOO expert first.
- [10:38 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Elerith blinks.
- [10:38 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: She's still waiting for someone to reproduce the Deep Speech, but well.
- [10:38 PM] Eon: If anyone can do it, then Esker will
- [10:39 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: roll 1d20
- [10:39 PM] BOTDiceBot: Dice: [1d20]: 13, Result: 13
- [10:39 PM] Mizuki: "We have plenty of time until this abyssification." - She said. - "We need to know when we're supposed to rest. I'm... Heading to my room."
- [10:39 PM] Faerie: So, a few things Razmik considers: "We'll have to ready another excursion into the Underdark, later. Isn't that right?"
- [10:39 PM] Eon: Otherwise we'll default to Alicia's memes
- [10:39 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "That would be... Something. A Dark Young? I am not sure why I know of it..." Elerith pauses, listening to the sound and.. Ponders. "That's... Deep Speech for... Uh, it was crying out for its mother..."
- [10:39 PM] Faerie: He looks at the sky. "We haven't any leads. Any places we could go to in the in-between?"
- [10:40 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Resting is perfectly fine.
- [10:40 PM] Eon: ... Ah. Pleasant.
- [10:40 PM] Faerie: He considers taking off after Alicia - "Wait... you have a room here?"
- [10:40 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Finishing up any business you have on Orixia is also fine.
- [10:40 PM] Mizuki: (I wanna long rest!)
- [10:40 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Or well - finishing up ANY business is fine.
- [10:40 PM] Eon: Esker considers visiting the vampire town.
- [10:41 PM] Eon: Or what remained of it.
- [10:41 PM] Eon: But that seemed.. tangential.
- [10:41 PM] Mizuki: Alicia turns to Raz, huge bags under her eyes. - "I'll be taking one."
- [10:41 PM] Faerie: "Ah, sure. Go ahead, and sorry that happened..."
- [10:41 PM] Eon: (Hmm. Long rest?)
- [10:41 PM] Mizuki: She walks to one of the rooms and lays down, Azura resting on her chest.
- [10:42 PM] Faerie: He turns away to leave Alicia alone.
- [10:42 PM] Eon: (Then divi, something..)
- [10:42 PM] Mizuki: (yeah, there truly is nothing else we can do)
- [10:42 PM] Eon: (We cam always have Raz sucide run the spelljammer and smite the moon)
- [10:42 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Yes.)
- [10:43 PM] Faerie: Razmik's visible sullen after making it back. "We're gonna have to do something about those things popping into our ship..."
- [10:43 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Or cook the Dark Young.)
- [10:43 PM] Eon: (Fuck off koga)
- [10:43 PM] Faerie: How close did the dark babby appear relative to Alicia?
- [10:43 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: 5ft.
- [10:43 PM] Mizuki: (2spooky4me)
- [10:44 PM] Mizuki: (I'm taking my long rest meme then)
- [10:44 PM] Faerie: Magic Circle... Razmik pours his mind into some of the rites he had been taught
- [10:44 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Go for it, adventurers.
- [10:44 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: You've earned it.
- [10:44 PM] Eon: Esker..
- [10:44 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Normally, Magic Circle wouldn't help, as it doesn't help against Aberrations.
- [10:44 PM] Eon: Makes it rain goodberries. Again.
- [10:44 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: However, it's a good idea, and might work.
- [10:44 PM] Faerie: (Aw, man. I thought it included aberrations. Hmm)
- [10:45 PM] Eon: She briefly wonders how she manages to fit 200 or so berries in her pouches.
- [10:45 PM] Faerie: Still, he considers it.
- [10:45 PM] Eon: Eh. Magic.
- [10:45 PM] Eon: (I have 228 fucking berries)
- [10:45 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Want to find somewhere to land, or should we just stay up here?" Recelle asks.
- [10:45 PM] Eon: (Fucks sake this is dumb)
- [10:46 PM] Eon: (Can the spelljammer eat berries)
- [10:46 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Staying up here should be safe as long as there's no curious wyverns or something."
- [10:46 PM] Eon: (Kappa)
- [10:46 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Reminder to remove old berries)
- [10:46 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (You should have round numbers)
- [10:46 PM] Eon: (I know, its not a full day yet though (
- [10:46 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Full day enough)
- [10:46 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ( :smugpopo: )
- [10:46 PM] Eon: (Once rest is done, its 110)
- [10:46 PM] Bot Fodder: (Test)
- [10:46 PM] Faerie: "I can keep watch, if that's to be the only concern."
- [10:47 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Well, no, we'll rotate." Recelle suggests. "I can trance, and so can Esker..."
- [10:47 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (T R A N C E)
- [10:47 PM] Eon: ... Esker grumbles as half her stock turns non-magical.
- [10:47 PM] Faerie: Raz then lets his arms hang loose "I hope so, at least. I'm spent as well..."
- [10:47 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: They are still tasty, Esker.
- [10:47 PM] Eon: And shunts it out the airlock.
- [10:47 PM] Faerie: (RACISM REEEEE)
- [10:47 PM] Eon: Or..
- [10:47 PM] Eon: Not.
- [10:47 PM] Eon: "Raz.."
- [10:47 PM] Eon: "Erm, this is awkward but.."
- [10:48 PM] Eon: Esker passes 102 mundane berries to Razmik.
- [10:48 PM] Faerie: You see him perk up! "Yes? ...ah."
- [10:48 PM] Eon: "I don't know what you'ld do with these but just.. yeah."
- [10:48 PM] Eon: Anyhow, Esker goes into a trance.
- [10:48 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: You can think of a number of things, Razmik.
- [10:48 PM] Faerie: "...I'll see what can be done", accepting them graciously.
- [10:48 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "I'll take first watch, Esker take second." Recelle suggests.
- [10:49 PM] Bot Fodder: (Back for real!)
- [10:49 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (You are able to do a berry compote)
- [10:49 PM] Faerie: "Is it fine if we just let Alicia rest? I'll cover for her"
- [10:49 PM] Eon: (Fuck off with the Dark Young Koga)
- [10:49 PM] Eon: (I'll marinate you)
- [10:49 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: "Hm? Yeah, don't worry, even you can go and take a break." Recelle suggests.
- [10:49 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: ( :troubledkoga: )
- [10:50 PM] Bot Fodder: "Hey, guys..." John chimes in.
- [10:50 PM] Faerie: (Holy shit I'm a retard
- >can't think of any berry-based dishes
- >WHAT ARE DESSERTS DURR
- Sasuga me)
- [10:50 PM] Eon: "... Yeah?" It appears Esker hasn't quite 'nodded off'
- [10:50 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Might if I suggest berry compote sorbert?)
- [10:50 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (You are in a place with a lot of ice, after all.)
- [10:50 PM] Faerie: (Sorbert)
- [10:50 PM] Faerie: (Oh maaan)
- [10:50 PM] Faerie: (I'll have to look into that)
- [10:51 PM] Eon: (... I should mention)
- [10:51 PM] Eon: (They are)
- [10:51 PM] Eon: (Razberries)
- [10:51 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Anyways, the long rest would be uneventful.
- [10:51 PM] Eon: (Raspberries)
- [10:51 PM] Bot Fodder: "You know, I've been thinking..." John opens with a truly ominous beginning. "If there's really a world at stake, it isn't right for us to try and deal with it on our own."
- [10:51 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Razmik, the strange garland finalizes itself at a managable weight of 4 lbs.
- [10:51 PM] Faerie: (Okay, that takes the cake. Go to your room)
- [10:52 PM] Eon: (Make me the cake first)
- [10:52 PM] Eon: (Also, I'm already in my room)
- [10:52 PM] Eon: ...
- [10:52 PM] Eon: Brb swapping spell list
- [10:52 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Shadow hums and plays with Tot, whose a bit non-energetic, listening in.
- [10:52 PM] Eon: I have the dumbest idea
- [10:53 PM] Faerie: "Oh. What... do you mean?" Razmik listens as well, book clasped in his hands
- [10:53 PM] Eon: (Koga, can I Speak with Plants the garland)
- [10:53 PM] Eon: (its not the actual text of the ability, but the memes!)
- [10:53 PM] Faerie: (...you can speak with plants?)
- [10:54 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (... You should be able to with some of them.)
- [10:54 PM] Mizuki: (that sounds like a Koga-tier idea!)
- [10:54 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (I'll allow it.jpg)
- [10:54 PM] Eon: (ok~)
- [10:54 PM] Eon: (also picking up Flame Arrows)
- [10:54 PM] Bot Fodder: "The moon might not be moving, but there has to be some signs that it's changing somehow, right? Also, we can't be the only ones in the whole world who've tried investigating it in the past few days."
- [10:55 PM] Faerie: Declaring long rest stuff here:
- -Gourmand (pls not now, I barely know what a sorbet is)
- -IL
- -Read the nerd book for as long as able without compromising the rest (how much is that?)
- -Aid on Alicia, Esker and John
- [10:55 PM] Bot Fodder: "There have to be other mages who are looking into this. Maybe some even stronger than Alicia! Shouldn't we try to get in touch with them?"
- [10:55 PM] Faerie: "Now that you mention it..."
- [10:56 PM] Eon: "The archmages that cast that mirror spell.."
- [10:56 PM] Eon: Was Esker only pretending to Trance?
- [10:56 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: The garland, if you should Speak with Plants it, will mostly be able to answer you with confusion. They were young, born recently, and do not understand much. They remember as much as you do... And then some, perhaps.
- [10:56 PM] Faerie: Realizing how they had almost been blinded by an outsider's perspective, Razmik vocalizes in understanding.
- [10:56 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (2 hours ,Razmk, for reading)
- [10:57 PM] Eon: Esker will (and will mark down slot) and ask them to her where they were from, and whatever they knew.
- [10:57 PM] Faerie: He mentions the tribes they've heard so little about. "Besides, there has to be more people on the surface now that the wind's gone, right? We could seek them out."
- [10:57 PM] Eon: Koga, question
- [10:57 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: There are also flesh devouring flowers in there, but they are young and quite friendly. But trapt too deeply within folded space to be of much use.
- [10:58 PM] Eon: how does Haste interact with Starbow
- [10:58 PM] Bot Fodder: (Is Mizu himself gone, or is Alicia just resting?)
- [10:58 PM] Eon: I'm guessing it only works on the weapon pews
- [10:58 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Uh.)
- [10:58 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (idk lol)
- [10:58 PM] Mizuki: (I'm here, just a bit tired)
- [10:58 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (I guess only for weapon attacks, yeah)
- [10:59 PM] Eon: Esker would ask Augus what he knew about archmages
- [10:59 PM] Eon: and anymore that would know much about that damnable moon.
- [10:59 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Augus doesn't seem to know much, as he's a bonafide warrior heart to soul.
- [10:59 PM] Faerie: (Man, >get thing that needs time dedicated to it for the benefits
- >"btw the world ends in seven days"
- Never lucky)
- [10:59 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: He suggest you ask Nirvain, or Elerith, as they are both more of the learned scholar type than him. Elsewise, he only knows about the stories.
- [11:00 PM] Eon: Will do that, then.
- [11:00 PM] Bot Fodder: "And Druids, too," says John, looking over at Esker. "I mean, you guys fight the unnatural, right? So, when there's a monster like that up in the sky, I'd bet they've been keeping an eye on it."
- [11:00 PM] Eon: Esker grimaces.
- [11:00 PM] Eon: "I-I.."
- [11:00 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Local clerics might know more as well.
- [11:00 PM] Eon: "Rather not deal with druids. :sadpopo: "
- [11:00 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: But well - there's a ton of people you can seek out, given time.
- [11:00 PM] Eon: ... She had a bad enough experience dealing with circles back home.
- [11:01 PM] Eon: Time. Always a matter of time..
- [11:01 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (Given the long rest, should we end early and take a break?)
- [11:01 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (This is a good enough point to stop, once people finish discussing ideas and plan a course of action)
- [11:01 PM] Eon: (seems fair, we kind of don't know where to go from this point)
- [11:01 PM] Eon: (the obvious point is to like)
- [11:01 PM] Eon: (divination a meme out)
- [11:02 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (wew)
- [11:02 PM] Mizuki: (yeah, seems good to me, tired :sadpopo:)
- [11:02 PM] Eon: ( pets mizu )(edited)
- [11:02 PM] Faerie: "...Rather, anyone would try to do somethinf about it. But Orixia's probably not teeming with able people, population-wise."
- [11:02 PM] Bot Fodder: (Oi, we know exactly where to go. :T )
- [11:02 PM] Faerie: (We could keep going, but Mizu a tired)
- [11:02 PM] Faerie: (That sounds good, Koga)
- [11:02 PM] Mizuki: (well, if you guys wanna continue, I can keep going)
- [11:02 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: (I am tired as well, but that's just me LUL)
- [11:02 PM] Bot Fodder: (Yeah, let's continue later~)
- [11:03 PM] Faerie: (And we're short two people)
- [11:03 PM] Bot Fodder: (I only meant our future approach.)
- [11:03 PM] Eon: better be enough xp to level, koga, REEEEE
- [11:03 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: 1000 XP to everyone, including those absent.
- [11:03 PM] Eon: ...
- [11:03 PM] Eon: NotLikeThis
- [11:03 PM] Mizuki: DING
- [11:03 PM] Eon: 410 more :sadpopo:
- [11:03 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Hm.
- [11:03 PM] Faerie: Clank!
- [11:03 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Make that 1500 XP, then.
- [11:03 PM] Eon: That's a ding.
- [11:04 PM] Mizuki: 1500 for everyone or just Eon?
- [11:04 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: Everyone.
- [11:04 PM] KogasaGaSagasa: And with that - we'll close the log here.
