Zerxus Cleansing Touch

BRENNAN: What I'll say is this, as Vespin begins to leave, you look at Vespin and you see in his face, the thing you did not see in the Lord of the Hells: A look of pain and recognition of something that was once a mortal man. But you see, he nods to you and-
LUIS (ZERXUS): I run up to him and I touch him and I touch my-
BRENNAN: I'm going to say this will bring us into the fifth round.
LUIS (ZERXUS): That's okay. I need help.
BRENNAN: Cool. Go for it.
LUIS (ZERXUS): So I touch Evandrin's Name Stone and I Cleansing Touch through that Name Stone onto Vespin. I need him- I need him.
BRENNAN: Okay. Fifth round.
LUIS: Uh-huh.
MARISHA: Paladin's got big ideas.
BRENNAN: Hold on one second. So. The DC is 18.
LUIS (ZERXUS): Yes.
BRENNAN: You cast your ability.
LUIS (ZERXUS): Yes.
BRENNAN: The wording of which is you fail all saving throws automatically for a minute.
LUIS (ZERXUS): I do.
BRENNAN: But you allow a corrupted being a potential to make a saving throw, and attempt to come back or restore some portion of itself.
AABRIA: Well, is he your ally now? So he gets a plus 5? You little bitch?
LUIS (ZERXUS): Maybe.
SAM (LOQUATIUS): Just save it 'til after he resurrects me.
BRENNAN: Okay. So what you see, I rolled a save. You go to Vespin. Zerxus, you do what you attempted to do on the devil, on the Lord of the Hells. You attempt to give an opportunity for redemption for understanding, the very act that doomed your soul. An understanding and a belief in the power of redemption that Evandrin thought was beautiful. You stick to your beliefs even though your beliefs may have doomed not only yourself, but the world. The Lord of the Hells is older than the world. Vespin Chloris was a man. The power of stars flows through you for what may be one of the last times, as you are changing into what you will become. Vespin...
Is this naivete? Is this foolishness, to open yourself up and give the chance for redemption? In this instance, [screeching recedes, whip, whoosh] the skin regrows [whoosh]. You see the face of a man still in a fiendish body. He goes, "I don't know who you are." [whoosh] Grabs the mace. "We don't have much time." Cast Time Stop [vwoom]. He reaches his hand into the haft of the mace and says, "Bad contract. HYA!" [impact, WHOOM] You see infernal runes move all throughout the room as he has stopped time. Looks around and goes, [screeching becomes a human grunt]. "I don't know what power this is you hold. But thank you. HYA!" [impact, crackling] "I can't do anything about the soul, but they usually put the clause about when it goes into effect at the end." [vwoom, sparking] He inscribes a series of runes at the end of the haft. The deal for your soul goes into effect at sunrise. And the redeemed, for the moment, Vespin Chloras gives you one night. He stands there, just his face peering from a fiendish body. [heavy breathing]
LUIS: Is he back to what he was before?
BRENNAN: You see he is no longer the shrieking devil puppet that he was. You see tears stream down a face from gaunt eyes, but it is the face of a man. You see he goes, "Gah!", dispels something in himself, "GYAH!" And it comes back. His spine grows. "GAHH!"
LUIS (ZERXUS): "Oh, I don't have enough power to help you!"
BRENNAN (VESPIN): "It's all right. It's all right. Listen, we don't have very much time, when we come out. I don't know much of what's happening. I am Vespin Chloras."
LUIS (ZERXUS): "I know."
BRENNAN (VESPIN): "Then you know what I have done?"
LUIS (ZERXUS): "Yes."
BRENNAN (VESPIN): "All right. "I am going to turn back. I don't have the power to stop this. Whatever gift you had bought a moment, but it's a moment only."
