Sir Godfrey steps across the shadows to a more helpful spot. Meanwhile his own shadow manages to drain more life from the red outsider. Amri races around to join the fun.
Dhiara continues to slowly choak in the poisonous air.
More memories assault the group. This time you see the pharaoh, and feel the ghosts plans to have him fall victim to one of her own plagues that she first crafted at his behest.
The outsiders continue their battle, with the blue one moving on Numair and attacking him
The blue one steps into the protective cloud and strikes at Sir Godfrey but without effect.

Dhiara meditates within a mountain monastery. A young girl pleads for her help as a minotaur gores the child to death. Then the minotaur ages and turns to dust. A king beseeches Dhiara’s assistance as hobgoblins enslave his people. Then knights slay the hobgoblins, and orcs fell the knights in turn, all falling into dust. The world continues in this fashion, the cycle unending.
You may help her overcome the feeling of futility with set of CMD, history, religion or oratory checks. Please make three of them.
|
Seeing the Dhiara meditates, she approaches while seeing the passing of time and the futility of life. But Jair knows that only the fools believe that. Knowledge is power, it could be over death, over time.
Knowledge is all and all is knowledge.
The World Behind the Mask teach exactly that and Jair explains to Dhiara that nothing is miningless, each action, each knowledge each step is a step forward her destiny the path she learn and the path she choose.
Knowledge is all and all is knowledge...
Wake up!

The invisible Jair opens her eyes and looks into those of Dhiara, who for a moment seems startled by the change in scenery before her. Still, she quickly coughts and indicates her mind is back in the present.
Tourch continues to stab at the Div, for surely that is what it is, before him.
[spoiler=Numair]
A mortal Sinuhotep traverses a catacomb with a conjured djinni ally who saves him from numerous perils. However, when faced with the choice of aiding the djinni or escaping with an ancient jar, he flees as a faintly visible spirit of Aryana Tahari urges him on. Later, in a ritual chamber, he cuts the living heart out of a sphinx and looks up to see Tahari smiling at him. The world shifts to a cavernous chamber where he drinks from a poisonous chalice and collapses as Tahari cradles his head.
As the scene plays a second time you interrupt it, indicating that the chalice might not be the only way...[/ooc]
The lich stirs next to Liminy, looking around the room.
The onyx gem flashes as a ray of darkness strikes out at Sir Godfrey
"I think it only fitting that you feel the touch of your own pet." scowls the ghost. Who then floats toward Theodore and reaches out to tyr and enter the priest.
NB: If Thedore fails the save, the ghost vanishes

When the character fails one of these Constitution checks, she begins to suffocate. In the first round, she falls unconscious (0 hit points). In the following round, she drops to –1 hit points and is dying. In the third round, she suffocates.
Recovering from her revery, Dhiara moves out of the fog to attack the creature that Torch is fighting .
When close, she strikes with all her strength trying to knockout the creature .
Amiri moves as fast as she can and tries to reach Liminy in time.
|
|
Hold on thinks Theodore as Liminy tries to throw off the suffocation. The priest steps closer to the dying wizard, glaring at the ghost. Suddenly a glowing rapier appears behind the spirit.
But it is unable to pierce her magical protections.
Amri, supernaturally slowed tries to get to the fallen wizard as well.
Sinuhotep steps up to try and dispell the magic.
Liminy, deathly pale, finally manages to take a breath, but he is far from out of the woods.
Amenopheus tosses out another Lightning Bolt, obliterate two of the swarms of wasps.
Tahonikepsu meanwhile munches on the closest Div.

Sir Godfrey will pay no heed to the red draped div trying to harry him and instead turn his attention to the wall leading to the balcony above him. "Worry not Friends Theodore and Liminy, I am coming to your aid!" After he calls up he will clamber up the wall as if it was just another floor, and while barely breaking his stride. When he reaches the top of the ledge he readies his mighty blade to ward off the ghost's onslaught.
|
|
Sir Godfrey climbs the wall, not expecting to have much problems with attacks from the ghost or Div.
He is somewhat surprised when her incorporeal hand reaches into his chest to squeeze at his heart.
The shadow continues to draw strength from the now frantic Div. The red Div sttaggers back furthter into the cloud
More memories unfold around you all. This time the woman has grown in power. She casts her nets wide, plotting against the very Div lord that had assisted her rise, looking for yet more powerful allies.
The blue lady turns on the dragon, trying to finish off the mighty Tahonikepsu.

The dwarf Padrym stands in a palace at the heart of Osirion’s power in the Age of Destiny, and he watches a young girl—Aryana Tahari—walk past with a few spectral figures trailing in her wake. She looks to him for advice, but he ignores her. He sees her later as a young woman, an adult, and then in middle-age, her entourage of spirits growing each time. At each point he sees a chance to speak or act as the ghosts implore him to intervene, but each time he remains silent.
The ever persuasive Numair convinces Padrym of the virtues of intervention. As he does so the spirit sighs and the gem darkens.
The yellowish gem flahes, its light brilliant and cleansed of the ghosts influence.

And a fort check againt the cloud please.
The explorer Mnesoset waves to a diverse crowd of humans, insect people, dwarves, and more, who cheer and wish her luck as she begins entering a mountainside ruin. Within she finds a hall inhabited by row after row of towering statues; as she inspects them, the sound of her friends being slaughtered echoes from outside. Mnesoset draws out an ivory rod and commands the statues to follow her orders. At first they follow her commands, but then one grabs her and throws her against a wall. Other statues stand in front of the entrance, keeping her from leaving yet not stopping the stream of blood that trickles down from the ruin’s entrance. All the while, a horned fiend watches from the shadows, moving its hands as if controlling marionettes.

Jair coughs in the cloud, but is unable to break the ghosts hold on the last gem.

The blue div takes a hammering from Dhiara and Torch

Amenopheus summons fire. The pretty blue outsider cackles, almost as if she found the flames amusing. The wasp swarm doesn't and soon the library is covered with carbonated critters.
Theodore and Liminy retreat to behind the mighty draconic form of Tahonikepsu.

Sir Godfrey Boldly takes the blow from Tahari's raking, vile incorporeality only to feel the breath torn forcefully from his lungs. Despite the sudden ache in his chest he stands tall, determination on his face along with a vaguely arrogant smirk. There is likely something witless for him to say related to evil, but all are spared from it due to the lack of air.
He still manages a pair of impressive swings from his blade aimed for neck of the ghost necromancer as his body glows to heal some of wasting he's begun to suffer.
Amirir hastes toward Liminy. Although slows would be the better word.
|

Sir Godfrey starts to suffocate. He makes a couple of frantic blows, and then ironically the paladin is saved by... a lich.
The world certainly is a strange place.
More memories flood into the room. Tahari standing on a mountain of dead Sarenites. Finally falling, impaled on the sword of a mortally wounded Planetar.
