This is a high level rules light game set in a school for magical kids, kinda a mash-up of Soul Eater, Harry Potter, and X-Men. :)

He is also disguised as a Nurse, if that matters. By the way, can the Wearer's disguises be pierced by true seeing?

:: I was looking st the energy signatures around the patient, and I thought they looked familiar. at first i couldn't quite put my finger on it as to where I saw it before. Then suddenly it dawned on me, The attack on the school, I started to do some preliminary research into how it happened. and based on energy signatures I identified then, and energy signatures here, There are very close. A little to close for my liking. ::

pausing for a bit.

reverting to a regular voice but hushed so to not disturb anyone, this connection he has may be acting as both a beacon and a "back door" past the wards and allow for where ever the "evil Vai" came from to bring support. its a possible invitation to another attack. I haven't completed my research from the attack yet so I cannot say for certain, but when there are temporal and multi-reality events, that acts as a homing signal for those that look for such things. I need to sever the connection he has, but i don't know what is at the other end, nor how it will effect him or us.

Phaezeriel smiles grimly, ::What is on the other side is a Seed of Destruction bound to a major demon. Basically it is something with the power of a minor god-like being. I can perhaps sever the psychic connection, and if you can sever the temporal one we may be able to cut the creature off from Iolth.::

He will not hear Phaezeriel's part of the conversation, unless his constant mind reading ignores Barred Mind, but he will probably be able to pick up the gist of it from Melody's mind.

As they leave the isolation ward and enter the infirmary, Ryuo sees the silvery masked person again along with the image he is hiding behind. His eyes narrow ever slightly, but he says nothing.

Mel's mind is mostly an open book. but usually one might need therapy after trying to figure out the chaos that goes on in there.

any knowledge checks to know about Seeds of Destruction? if its a standard knowledge skill then she makes DC 50 (54 for knowledge planes), everything else DC 31

Phaeze, severing the temporal connection is easy. the connection is actually not very stable, and not very advanced. what concerns me is will this seed,or demon thing be forced over to here? If my theory is correct it will remain in the timeline it is originally bound to. but if it is this one then we could have some problems, but if it is the other, then it should unbind relatively easy. of course we may be making a new enemy.

Mel sets up her sonic to proper energy level emission and correct frequency fluctuation to unbind the temporal link.

:: I'm ready, once I begin the unbinding, there will probably be a power drain local to the infirmary, as well as a temporal fluctuation. it should take no more than a few minutes to completely sever the link.::

"You can leave if you like, Ace. It's fine. I can call you if we need your help again. And I have something I need to speak with Vai about privately," she said, not unkindly, but clearly with her attention elsewhere.

Ace nods politely and takes his leave "Thanks Professor." He walks out and stumbles into somebody carrying the corpse of his girlfriend.

He rushes over to her side, tears streaming down his face "No, no, no, no, no. Not Ginni, no." He scoops her up into his arms and holds her, crying.

Mel nods that she is ready and with afew punches on the datapad., she activates her sonic device. and begins the data exchange.

slowly the energy signture information is scanned, analyzed and rerouted.

afte a few seconds there is a sudden power drain in the infirmary that lasts for at most 2 to 3 seconds, there are small localized temporal disturbances around the room. creating small time loops but soon they return to normal time.

A thought:

this is not something I had planned but wondering about it... see discussion thread for explanation.


Male Maftet 16 Stalker (umbral blade)/Dread

Boggles, looks at Ace, then looks at the nurse, and shrugs.

"I guess he will take it from here." He turns and leaves.


Both Doppelganger Except younger looking Factotum 16/Taskshaper 6/Chameleon 10(Gestalt)

Upon hearing words from an unknown source, Ace takes a few slowing breaths, calming himself down, at least a bit "D-Do, y-you k-k-know wh-what h-happened?" He stutters out to Al'rqyq in between tears.

"If you would please stand clear of the deceased, I will restore her to life." the 'Nurse' says, not unkindly to "Ace".

Her hands, with daintily painted pink nails come up, crackling with white energy, her hair standing up and spreading out like a nebula of gold

Ace shakes his head "I'm not leaving her side. You can bring her back to life with her in my arms."

He then stares death at the bizarre slug being "She's dead you freaky little worm thing!. Yes, she can be brought back to life, but that's not the point. Somebody murdered my girlfriend!"

And then he gets his answer. "This ends. No more Mr Nice Casil." He says grimly, his eyes becoming a blood red.

"Funny, I helped locate your girlfriend so she could get resurrected. Just because I keep unconcerned about something that can easily be undone is no reason to insult me. Also, what do you think you can do? I can look through time, and skry anyone in an instant, and I've got nothing."
riviarti's tone is actually getting quite bitter.

Phaezeriel wields his psychic power with more skill and precision than all but the best surgeons can match. Carefully he severs the connection between Iolth and the Horseman/Seed being, leaving behind no trace of the unwanted energy.

To anyone who cannot see the psychic signature of the surgery happening to Iolth, Phaezeriel seems to be both standing relaxed at Iolth's side. Until a slight trickle of silvery blood begins dripping out of his nose, at the same time that the air around Phaezeriel and Iolth begins to ripple like a very slow heat wave and a penetrating hum comes from nowhere and everywhere at once.

Both hum and shimmer vanish as Phaezeriel opens his eyes and looks up at Melody with a satisfied smile.


Male Maftet 16 Stalker (umbral blade)/Dread

Looks around.
"Any more questions? May I leave now?"

While that certainly is a choice, it is very inadvisable, and until you step away I cannot restore her to life. Every second that you refuse to move away is another that your girlfriend lies dead. Comforting yourself by clutching a lifeless corpse is not helping anyone. Now will you Please step back The nurse says, making it very clear that your refusal to be rational is irking her, and she is not happy at all with you

I could restore her to life with you on top of her, but the discharge might harm you... and I will not travel to the event horizon of a black hole because you are an emotional twit....

Ace ignores the snail The pic you have in your profile is definitely more slug than snail. I suppose that's a shell, but overall, it seems to look like a slug and nods to the man who informed him of what happened.

He then looks to the nurse "Unless you are going to use something beyond simple resurrection magicks, I am in zero danger from your bringing my girlfriend back to life while I hold her"

Show me where in the rules such a danger exists. Or are you saying this for flavor, at which point NO.


Female Zif Wizard 6/Mage of the third eye 10

"Humph. Can't you even put aside your drama for the medical personnel trying to raise her? They may be using something other then normal resurrection magic. Probably more efficient, from what I know of this school's quality of magic..."


Both Doppelganger Except younger looking Factotum 16/Taskshaper 6/Chameleon 10(Gestalt)

Responding to the snail person's earlier question Ace says "It's not what you know, its who you know, and I know everybody "


Female Zif Wizard 6/Mage of the third eye 10

"I find that hard to believe. Do what you will, it is no concern of mine."
dispite her words, she still sounds bitter and frustrated.

when the procedure is complete Mel completes a final vitals check. He seems alright. he needs dome rest. and prossib;y some mental evaluation later before release.

smiling toward Phaeze.

::Thats twice today, I never expected to be in the medical profession. ::

there is a commotion outside that seems to have suddenly gotten mel's attention.

excuse me please, something is going on. as she goes to head out she spies Ace right after he passed by, What the?

Sorry Phaeze, gotta go, looks like a problem.

Mel hurries out the door arriving as the discussion is going on. Ace, What's going on? are you...she does not finish her question when she sees Ginni.

Mel's eyes go wide in shock. No, this sin't happening, Ace...what happened? her paniced voice stutters some as she tries to keep her composire.

Ace:

if you can still read Mel's thoughts which you alreadyknow she is mostly pretty open about: she saved me yesterday, please Ace let me help you to help her. I owe her that much at the least.

her thoughts are almost pleading.

Phaezeriel pokes his head out to see what the commotion is, and upon seeing that there is at least one of the infirmary staff on the scene, he takes a moment to ensure that his current patient is stable and sets a sensor to alert him if Iolth wakes or if Kaetar stops being a pile of cards.

Leaving the Iolth's room, he approaches the knot of people clustered around Ginni's corpse. Unable to see clearly through all the bodies, his mental voice is heard clearly by everyone on the scene, ::If you are not involved in the treatment of the patient, please step back so that medical staff can do their jobs. Thank you.::

The nurse's frown and glare turn dark, the golden glowing nimbus of hair casting a black shadow over her face. "I am not using a magic that is usable by everyone, and is quite dangerous if it goes wrong. Now, please step away, You are the only one in danger of this spell, and I would not enjoy explaining to your beloved that you killed yourself" Her voice is a deadly hiss.

Once the nurse explains Ace nods "Alright. I'm sorry. Been an extremely emotional weekend, and Ginni's death shattered my already shaky mind." He then sees Phaez. Gently laying his girlfriend's corpse on the floor, he walks over to the Quasit.

I am pretty sure we are still in the collective, yes?

Phaezeriel's expression becomes hard and flinty, and the normally silver glow that comes from his eyes starts having a decidedly reddish hue, ::Another killing? This has to stop, Ace. Let me know if I can help. And I want to see both you and Ginni before either of you leave the infirmary.::

"Ha, no thank you. This thing is holding me as the arbiter of a deal.

This is above my pay grade and level of care. I choose not to accept this mission."


Image

Alright, let's get this party restarted. :)

As the magic drags Ginni back from the realm of the dead there is some resistance. Something is anchoring her there, but in the end the magic is stronger than the anchor and it rips free.

As Ginni's wounds heal over and she gasps for breath, Melody is hit with an overwhelming blast of psychic pain. DC 25 Fort save or be sickened. Ginni screams, utterly terrified and unable to comprehend her current surroundings.


In order to keep this scene simple(r) I'm going to say that Ardiente and Raelle left the infirmary earlier and that Morrivan was discharged. She's not going to classes today, but she doesn't need to have medical supervision anymore either.

Jeran looked at him sharply. "Seriously, dude? I don't care about your pay grade. But innocent people are going to die if we don't act. Just...stay here then. I'm going to get help and I'll be back in a few minutes," he growled snapping his tile and disappearing.

Jeran reappeared in the teleportation room at Avalon and after making sure the operator had coordinates on where he just came from, he ran out, touching the wall to find someone who could help him.

This could feasibly take him to either the Headmaster or to Settro or anyone else really. Those were the most obvious choices. Anyone who wants can choose to have him run into them right now.
