Ajoran looks in amazement at the gallery before them. So many gods, all unknown, all slain by He Who Walks In Blood. Was there a false pantheon? Some rebellion within the divine caste? Many questions course through his mind, but he silently reminds himself of the importance that the dead be left to rest.
Round 1
Ajoran is caught off guard by the magma-like creature, leaving his legs partially bound. He frantically checks his tome to see if information can be presented to him.
◇ Tome Adept Recall Knowledge vs (Target)
Thankfully, the portal beside him grants him passage.
◆ Stride
After that, he produces a token from his robes as he attempts to identify and prepare for this creature. In this case, he holds a small glass vial with an ice-like crystal preserved by a dehydrating powder.
◆ Exploit Vulnerability vs (Target)
Lastly, he closes the gap by twisting his mirror to catching himself in a reflection against the monster, creating the lifelike optical illusion of him standing right next to her.
◆ Mirror's Reflection
Suryo looks closely at the magma-eyed woman. His weapons may be less effective, but he supposes he can still doom her.
He makes a change...
You channel your zeal through a sacred weapon, bringing a foe closer to their demise. Strike a target with the required weapon. On a success, the target becomes doomed 1 or increases the value of their doomed condition by 1 (most living creatures die when they’ve reached doomed 4). Creatures doomed in this way take a status penalty to their saving throws against divine spells equal to their doomed value.
A creature that would become doomed 4 by this Strike can attempt a Will saving throw against your class DC to avoid increasing the value of their doomed condition. When this occurs, this ability gains the incapacitation trait.
--------------------
You apply one of the following debilitations, which lasts until the end of your next turn.
Debilitation The target takes a –10-foot status penalty to its Speeds.
Debilitation The target becomes enfeebled 1.
Your opportunistic attacks are particularly detrimental. When you use Debilitating Strike, you can apply two debilitations simultaneously; removing one removes both.
--------------------
He draws the electrical, crackling rapier.
Now he is seen wielding a sparking blade and another flaming. He hopes it is at least a little intimidating.
Yujin closes the gap and unleashes flame on the librarian!
And it is at this point that you realize something interesting: this woman is Garundi, and she seems to have an accent that implies that she’s from Rahadoum. But the accent is…old. And the pieces start to fall into place: this woman must have been there during the implementation of the Laws of Mortality in Rahadoum, and was among the Red Mantis when divinity was outlawed in that country. That would mean she has been here for over 2,000 years, and was among the Red Mantis that founded Ilizmagorti!
Weakness acid 15; no resistances; immune to bleed, critical hits (meaning “doubled damage from critical hits”), precision, and unconscious.
Ajoran moves forward and reflects himself against the librarian.
Suryo swaps his weapons and slices at the woman, but misses.
Janna swings with her powerful spell but misses.
The librarian sees herself surrounded and just chuckles. ”Alright then.”
Seeing the force that was behind Janna’s attacks, the librarian morphs both of her hands into sawtooth sabers as she attacks the psychic!
The woman then Extends her Limbs and attacks Janna again!
Round 2 —> 3
==============
Suryo
Janna {Unleashed Psyche: Round 1 of 2}
The Librarian <Orange> (-13) {doomed 1 & penalty vs divine spells}
Yujin
Ajoran {-15-foot to Speed: Round 1 of 10}
==============
Yujin is disappointed by the lack of ignition. "There's more than one way to burn my foes."
Yujin activates her incendiary aura then shoves another fireball at her enemy.
◆◆Incendiary Aura
◆Ignition
Feeling her energies starting to ebb already, Janna summons the last of her strength to produce her psychic sabers again.
◆ Step
◆◆ Amped Imaginary Weapon
Suryo is not pleased with his aim and perhaps the librarian not taking his attempted strikes seriously. Now he has out both weapons that he believes he can do ample damage with.
First with the electrical blade...
You apply one of the following debilitations, which lasts until the end of your next turn.
Debilitation The target takes a –10-foot status penalty to its Speeds.
Debilitation The target becomes enfeebled 1.
Your opportunistic attacks are particularly detrimental. When you use Debilitating Strike, you can apply two debilitations simultaneously; removing one removes both.
--------------------
Then with swipes of his sawtooth sabre.
You channel your zeal through a sacred weapon, bringing a foe closer to their demise. Strike a target with the required weapon. On a success, the target becomes doomed 1 or increases the value of their doomed condition by 1 (most living creatures die when they’ve reached doomed 4). Creatures doomed in this way take a status penalty to their saving throws against divine spells equal to their doomed value.
A creature that would become doomed 4 by this Strike can attempt a Will saving throw against your class DC to avoid increasing the value of their doomed condition. When this occurs, this ability gains the incapacitation trait.
--------------------
Ajoran is in position, his target analyzed, and yet... he hesitates. "Something feels wrong about this. This woman is thousands of years old. She knows so much... and we struck first."
Ajoran does not disarm himself, but he lowers his weapons. "She could not have gotten this far without passing the trials. Everyone, lower your weapons and back away! If I'm wrong, may I suffer for this."
Then, he inclines his head towards the strange, magma-looking ooze woman. "You. Are you some sort of keeper? A guard? Cease hostilities, and I will endeavor to ensure we do the same."
