The Avalon Chronicles

Game Master lynora

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. :)


3,401 to 3,450 of 78,424 << first < prev | 64 | 65 | 66 | 67 | 68 | 69 | 70 | 71 | 72 | 73 | 74 | next > last >>

"I'll be doing the spell as conjury is one of my specialties. Also I can only take four people." She waits until Taron imparts the location and she gathers the four who will be going with her and begins casting her spell at the same time as Asch begins his casting for three others.

Ok so I can take four people not including myself and Asch can take three others not including himself if dennis goes he is large size right? He will take up a slot as two people.


So Taron, Ephebe, Fei, and Nasima with Amada and Fieri and Dennis with Asch. Jiminy can manage it on his own, he just couldn't bring others along.


Ephebe, I'm able to read that last spoiler and you know it! ;P

I'm definitely going with the first group, whoever it is.

? It was addressed to you...

Yeah, that's where I put you since Amada was more confident of her teleportation skills.


Ephebe wrote:

Huh. I could have sworn I posted something about him shutting his mind.

With a swirl of magic and the possibility for extreme motion sickness, the teleportation works and everyone is standing a few yards away from a cave that goes into the side of a very large hill. Taron goes in immediately.

Ephebe scrambles after him, not really able to keep up.

Asch draws his caster with a chain lightning shell loaded.

"So...he was not in the air when his amulet sent him back?" Fei asks as he follows the others into the cave, casting his gaze skyward briefly before the hill blocks the view.


Fieri, Dennis, and Jiminy hang back a little as the other head in to investigate, making sure to keep an eye out in case anything else dangerous decides to approach.

Meanwhile, back where they were in the forest a bear howls sadly as the pretty lady disappears without him.


Male Dhampir Champion of Darkness, Order of the Gunslinger initiate

Oops. Poor bear.


Asch Redgrave wrote:

Poor thing is going to spend the next week wandering the woods in search of the pretty lady. :)


Amada's hands fly up to her face as she realizes she left the bear by itself making it think it had been abandoned. She quickly begins another spell and whispers soothing words to him. And informs him of where she is even though she knows he can't respond.


The bear begins lumbering through the woods in the direction of where the pretty lady was supposed to be. It wasn't sure how it knew what direction that was, but it was determined to find her.

"No." Taron says as he creates a flare for the darkvision-impaired. "He had to be inside to tell if it was occupied. I all got before the amulet activated was a lot of confusion and fear."

The group reaches the end of the cave, and even after making sure none of the walls are false, there is nothing found. The only footprints found belong to Kamenwati.

"Ephebe..?" Taron asks hpoefully.

Ephebe:
Kam's at the back of the cave, telling Taron it's been empty for a while. He turns to leave and is startled by a man standing at the entrance of the cave.

"Who are you and why are you here?" The man asks. He seems faintly familiar.

"I'm Kamenwati, a student from Avalon. I'm here as part of a survival exercise."[/i] Kam's says slowly, confused. It looks like he's trying to figure out where he's seen this man before.[/i]

"Kamenwati? Interesting. Your mother wouldn't happen to be a priestess named Lillith, would she?" The man replies with a strange grin.

This is when fear is mixed in with the confusion on Kamenwati's face, and he takes a shaky step back before he he turns and runs back into the cave, fumbling for his amulet. He manages to get it to work before he turns the first corner. The man goes after him, but leaves when he can't find him. A few minutes later Taron and everyone else show up...


What can I say Amada is an animal lover...though that poor bear is still going to wander around looking for pretty lady when all the students leave....and he still has like 10 days left on the spell.


Imagefemale weredragon (amethyst) gestalt Soulknife17/oracle10/divine gunslinger7

Ephebe's eyes glow gold for a moment and then her gaze returns to the present.

"There was a man here. I don't think he was a very nice man. He knew Kam's mother...that's why Kam ran away and activated his amulet."

She shared the image of the man's face with the others.

"You want me to cast Discern Location on this guy? It'll take me a few minutes to cast it, but short of direct interference by a deity it'll tell me where he is."


"Find him." Taron says, eyes glowing dark purple. "We can't leave anyone like his mother alone to try and take him back there."

Ephebe nodded and began casting the spell, the hourglass on her necklace flipping over and over as she worked the magic. After several minutes the spell came to an end and she looked for the location of the mystery man.


I'm suddenly imagining Ephebe's eyes turning into radar screens...

Ephebe:
Ephebe sees the entire island at first, but then shes looking at the center of the island at an area covered in mist. The visual changes again, and she goes through the mist to see the man sitting in meditation. It semms he's using the mist to keep out of sight of the avian.
He's in the center of the island, which I'll leave you to describe since you had Big Bird flying around it.


Imagefemale weredragon (amethyst) gestalt Soulknife17/oracle10/divine gunslinger7

"He's in the center of the island. It looked like he was sitting and meditating. He was in the very center of the caldera of a currently at least dormant volcano on an island in the middle of a lake. There's lots of steam vents so he's hard to see through the mist. I didn't see any of those large avian creatures. I think their roosting spots are farther down the mountain."


"Steam, huh? That means we don't have to hold back and worry about being seen." Taron states as he mentally goes through what he can do in both of his forms. "Can we get past the avians without them knowing? Things will go easier if he doesn't have a warning."

"If they are susceptible to her magic, perhaps Amada could charm them? Or cloak us from them somehow?"


Male Dhampir Champion of Darkness, Order of the Gunslinger initiate

"Another question how far are we from his hideaway?" Asch asks as he goes through which shells he has with him.


Imagefemale weredragon (amethyst) gestalt Soulknife17/oracle10/divine gunslinger7

"I'm not sure how far we are exactly. Several miles. If we can teleport there we won't have to worry about the avians. I got the distinct impression that they didn't go up as high as the steam vents. I can show you a picture of the area if you need."


Male Dhampir Champion of Darkness, Order of the Gunslinger initiate

"I think we can do it one more time." Asch says as he waits for the image to be shown to him and then Asch and Amada cast their teleport spells.


The island in the center of the caldera is small, no more than twenty feet across. The heat is nearly unbearable as the air is filled with sulfurous steam. The water of the lake is nearly boiling. There is no sign of wildlife here.

"Well, since they named the band after you, I'm pretty sure you're in it. They've only had a couple of rehearsals though, so maybe they're just letting you have a chance to learn about music first. Maybe you can show me what you have learned."

She blinked a few times as he described his idea of good food. Then she laughed. "Well, it sounds pretty disgusting to me, but I'm not an ooze. I'll see what I can do."

"Looks nice and comfy." Asch quips as the teleport sickness wears off quickly. His eyes begin to glow red as he checks for any magic auras.


Asch finds one, glowing faintly some hundred feet away.

"The mist takes some getting used to, I admit, but it's quite up here. Who are you and why are you here?" A male voice calls out from the direction of the aura.

It from the universal school of magic.


Imagefemale weredragon (amethyst) gestalt Soulknife17/oracle10/divine gunslinger7

Ephebe's eyes take on a draconic appearance as she scans the area around her with detect evil.


Male Dhampir Champion of Darkness, Order of the Gunslinger initiate

"There is a magic aura about one hundred feet that way universal aura. Same as the voice." Asch whispers.


No evil emanating anywhere nearby.

"Funny. That was our question for you. Your behavior towards Kam wasn't exactly what you'd call endearing," Jiminy said, sounding slightly bored.

Hey, that's Taron's line!

"Oh, you know the master of vanishing acts? Perhaps you can tell where he went after you answer my question first, since you interrupted my quiet spot." The voice replies. "I would like to see him again. I.. have much to talk to him about."

Whose brain do you think he's getting it from? ;P

Besides, Jiminy is calm enough to actually say it. :)

"Consider us the advance interview. If we don't like what you have to say, you don't get to talk to him again. Ever. He's family, and that's all you need to know."


Male Dhampir Champion of Darkness, Order of the Gunslinger initiate

"Now, why would you need to talk to Kam? And make it a very interesting explanation because I get bored easily and then I'm liable to entertain my self." Asch says as he continues to study the aura of magic.

She frowns. ::I'm not getting a read on any evil. I don't know if that means he's not evil or he's hiding his affinity for it.::


Male Dhampir Champion of Darkness, Order of the Gunslinger initiate

::Even if he isn't doesn't mean he isn't a threat.::

Any new info from his aura?


Permanency, but what it's keeping permanent is unknown.

"Family? Interesting. You're the same age as him, so Lillith didn't have anymore children. Perhaps she adopted? No, she wasn't really the type for that, though she would have taken care of you at the temple.. Could you explain your relation to him?"

"I don't think you need to know that." Taron growls as the man walks into veiw.


Imagefemale weredragon (amethyst) gestalt Soulknife17/oracle10/divine gunslinger7

"How do you know Lilith," she said, spitting out the woman's name with contempt. She didn't know much about Kam's mother, but what she did know painted a picture of someone as selfish and vain as the time demon who had been the bane of her existence.


Male Dhampir Champion of Darkness, Order of the Gunslinger initiate

::If you want I can appear behind him and take him down.:: Asch thinks to Amada and she relays it to Ephebe, Taron, and Jiminy.


"Oh, the girl turns out to be a snake spitting venom! I feel it has been rather generous of me to answer your questions without getting any of my own answered in return, even though you barged into this caldera and interrupted me." The man says as he stops a few yards away from everyone. "Why are you here? You've already told me who you are."

"We're here to make sure you can't hurt Kam!" Taron says as he dashes forward to attack. He gets close, throws a punch, and before anyone can blink is flat on his stomach with his arms pinned behind his back.

"People who fight angry are easy to beat, even more so than the dire bears that inhabit this island." The man says coldy.

I have to go for a bit.

"Really? How odd. I distinctly recall telling you exactly why we're here. Perhaps there's something wrong with your hearing?" he said dryly.


Male Dhampir Champion of Darkness, Order of the Gunslinger initiate

As Taron dashes forward Asch fades out of view and reappears behind the man with two shadowy black blades next to his neck. "I'd let him go if I was you....my hands might slip and slice open an artery and then I'd be oh so sad."

Gahhh why do all my favorite abilities take up a standard action?!?! I'd love to use shadow step as a move and then grapple as a standard action :( also for one round I now am treated as if I had blur.

She's going to find a way to bring the bear back to Avalon with her isn't she? :)

.......I don't know that would be interesting though I don't think Silver would be to happy.
