Brand thinks a moment, "Two quick um questions do we ah break this guy's curse? And err how do um I ya know die? That would be ah really handy to know."
We view time as it goes, we cannot see into the future...a. We will talk further about the curse inside, stopping it is in everyone's best interest She tilts her head, staring directly at Narine, but she doesn't say anything. She turns looking back at the group
Scarlet follows her inside.
Brand starts to walk in but turns reassured that Scarlet is heading in as well.
That kind of information ought to be guarded securely. Regardless of the answer, Maria gets quieter than usual on the way in.
Not to seem impolite but I think it's custom. Can you give your word for our safety while we are in your realm ?
No...i can't...at the moment no one is safe
Walking through the gate you enter long wood and rope bridges connecting floating stone spires and forest like islands. Far below you, almost an immeasurable distance you see what seems like a cavern floor.
Large buildings of white stone and built upon the floating spaces. THe woman leads you through the area, you others similar to her, other humanoids: everything from humans to the beast men Skinwalkers.
She leads you to a small cathedral, inside it is dimly lit with a violet light, a large pool of magical energy in the center of the room.
Now i will grant the right for this man's curse to be lifted, though in return a favor is required
Brand seems elated. "Whoa!" He moves trying to get the best views and talks at the strange sights. "You are err the ah poet Thunderhead I hope you um ah are writing."
Once they enter the cathedral and Aria makes her proposal Brand speaks,"Great. Ah those er terms are agreeable you um have granted the right to lift the curse, ah thank you um we will owe er you a favor. We can return um pretty swiftly er I mean it took us only a few um days to arrive."
No, you see what i'm trying to explain is i can't actually help you yet, which is why this favor is needed... A few days ago a something was stolen, a book. Said book contains both the rituals and also contains the magic power necessary to control certain things within the city, we need it back in order to lift the curse.
Maria gazes at the breathtaking scenery while the others talk. She peers over the side down to the earth as much as she can. Kicks a rock over to watch it.
Do you wish for us to find this book for you? Do you have any idea who took it?
Precisely, Unfortunately we have little to no clue who took it though i can put you in a direction however she leads you to a door at the end of a small staircase going downward. This leads into the catacombs, the door is normally kept locked, on the day of the robbery it was found unlocked. Getting through them normally is no problem, however the power of the book is being used to keep those who pledge themselves out...we need outsiders to help.. we have no clue what is down there as of this moment
Scarlet grins,
Well then, let's go!
Scarlet moves to open the door.
nods at Scarlet
Yes Blaze lets head in and get the rest of the details
"Ah go through um scary door with err little information to get a book. Hmm Let's go."
Hum. Okay. Maria gets ready to go.
you all walk down the stairs through the large wooden door, entering a tunnel of hewn stone. small open spaces line the walls large enough to lay a person on. the tunnel is long and dark with the exception of a few lit torches every so often. the air smells bad, though not of death surprsingly. it's silent, eerily so.
"Wait. I ah know in some err stories lots of these burial places can be booby trapped."
Will keep my light spell going on my shield
Will also look at our guide and try to gadge her,feelings
Though you see no traps in the distance of the hallway you see 3 fatty blobs of flesh barely making a humanoid form
you look at her, her eye's are looking downward as if in thought she seems less confident and more awkward since coming here. she's been surprisingly quiet lately.
She's not really paying much attention, lost in thought
"Uh there is some sort of er fleshy blobs umm up ahead . . . ew."
Moves forward to check it out.
Scarlet moves to the back of the group and draws her wand of fireball. She looks ahead with dark vision 60.
Wouldn't touch those yet. Maria tries to warn Brand while trying not to imagine what they'd feel like.
She extends her palm outward, fingers wide, and an earthen mass erupts from seemingly nowhere.
Maria launches her attack the stone bounces off the fleshy figures thick fat. they now notice you guys and are preparing to attack
Scarlet says with a tinge of sarcasm in her voice,
Why did you attack them? They could have been nice...
Will grab our guides shoulder and press her behind me
Fall back for now till it's safe
Try to give a confident smile at her
Turn Order
Maria
Baylin
Scarlet
Brand
The monsters...
Round 1 Begin!
Narine steps back quietly...letting you all fight. the blobby monsters are within melee range, within 30 feet
Maria repeats her gesture.
Mmm.
I start to sing
Raging song(Inspired Rage) – 13 rounds/day - +2 Strength, Constitution; +1 Will; -1 AC
Will use my move action to draw my warhammer
Scarlet, sufficiently grossed out by these walking blobs of flesh, decides they would be less gross when toasted,
Brand draws his bow and fires an arrow.
You attacks combine manage to down one of the Fleshy monsters, beating it into what seems to be a pile of goo. The monsters charge toward Maria and Brand. Both connect with rather weak hits
UGH! Piss off. Maria swings her fist as if to cup check the blobbo in front of her, she herself is several inches from contact, but a rail thin stone pillar ejects from the wall.
Will maintain my song then move to the closest one and attack
Baylin and Maria down the next blob, 1 remains
Scarlet steps back, assuming Maria and Baylin can take care of the last one, and says to Narine:
What are those things?
I think they are called Lemures, when you mortals die you become one with the energy of the planet. with a little training some mages can, take that energy and manipulate it into something...it's a vile form of magic,twists the soul until it becomes something horrible
Brand fires another arrow at the creature.
...One more time. Maria repeats her first gesture, directing the now serrated blade-like blast at the lemure, hoping the thinner rocks are enough to miss her ally.
Maria managaes' to splatter the blob like monster over the walls, leaving hte hall now empty and barren minus you all and the guts on the wall. doth thou proceedeth?
Brand looks about to confirm everyone is ok. Then moves back to point and looks ahead.
stopping my song and leaning on the nearest wall
looks at his wound
dam hit my bandages. I'm going to need a rest to tend to my wounds soon
looks at the rest of the group
everyone else ok?
