That sounds like something far less obvious is indeed going on, especially when combined with the fact that she also possesses powers of the mind. I think she marches to a different drummer than the norm." "Any clues to her affiliations? I need something solid. Did she have any distinguishing marks?"

"She was accompanied by two minotaurs, one of which was the color of ivory, and had a strange symbol on her necklace."

Mornin' all :) Devlyn pulls out a bit of charcoal and some parchment and draws out the design of the drow woman's symbol. And I'm so glad I stated that Devlyn committed that little trinket's appearance to memory.... ;D

Once Delvyn finishes the symbol, Ogiva looks at it for briefly then his eyes widen. He hisses deeply from the depth of his throat. "Are you sure that's whatyou saw," he says through clenched teeth.

Time for me to wander home. G'Night All :)

"It misfortune to speak her name and misfortune if you've crossed the path of those that serve her. That symbol belongs to a demon queen. She calls herself Decca, Queen of Ruin. She despises faiths and deity worship of all kinds. She servants are called Ur-Priests. They steal from the divine and use the magic for themselves."

Allura looks at Devlyn. "That doesn't sound like good news for us. Could be worse news for someone else. Or someones more like."

Devlyn eyes Oroth when he asks that, noting how his body tensed up for just a moment. "Let's make sure we have the whole story first, Oroth, before we run off to act on incomplete information." He looks back to Ogiva. "You've had dealings with her devotees before, I would guess. Any suggestions on 'dealing' with them?"

Mornin' All


Ogiva the Nightbinder, Mon, Jul 20, 2009, 09:38 AM

Sorry for delays, but my friend and boss of nearly ten years is headed for open heart surgery tomorrow. I've been helping with his house and keeping his cherished dog happy for the last two days. So I hope everything is successful without a hitch. The Dalesman wrote: He looks back to Ogiva. "You've had dealings with her devotees before, I would guess. Any suggestions on 'dealing' with them?" Ogiva's brow narrows. "You've misread me. I have heard of her and her mercenary band, The Company of the Ebony Harlot, but I have no direct dealings with her. It is rumored she has another high priest who attends to the flock, a devotee a herlot-goddess of misfortune and black luck. They say Decca is very selfish and possessive of her chosen, whenever and however she gathers them."

"So you're saying there are two priests of this demon queen running things in the Tunnels?" Your post was a little confusing - just trying to clarify what Ogiva was trying to say... :)

BluePigeon (Pathfinder Adventure Path Charter Subscriber; Pathfinder Companion Subscriber), Wed, Jul 22, 2009, 07:51 AM

Sorry about the long gap in silence. I've been helping a friend, his daughter, his grandson and keeping an eye on his houise and dog for the last two days. Gary went to heart surgery yesterday afternoon and was released to ICU around 7:00 P.M. last night. The thing is there were no complications during the operation and it looks like he will make a speedy recovery. I'll try to post soemthing today or tomorrow morning. I need to look back through the last posts so I can get a sense of where I'm going as to where I'm heading. P.S. Paizo Rocks!


The Dalesman (Pathfinder Roleplaying Game, Pathfinder Adventure Path, Pathfinder Chronicles, Pathfinder Companion Subscriber), Wed, Jul 22, 2009, 08:12 AM

No worries man - we figured you were busy with all that. Great news that all went well in surgery. Give him our best wishes for a speedy recovery! :)

Glad to hear that your friend is recovering well, BP. I hope that continues and he has a speedy recovery. And of course we can be patient about the game while you're helping out there. Friends come before game every time.
