Aiden launches a magic missile at the body part monster.
Where are we in the initiative? Am I good to attack?
Aiden opens the door and enters the room, looking around.
"Allison, how quiet can we talk this way?" Aiden says as he follows the group down the hall. Seeing the group at the door, Aiden checks the door to see if it's unlocked. If it is, he opens it just a crack.
That is an interesting effect. I'm fine with keeping this between the group down here for the moment, but I'm not sure we trust the message wholly. Tell the others down here once your spell... refreshes.
"Rather normal so far, though these chairs seem old which seems odd for a room that was presumably made recently."
Aiden sees the lamp plugged and shouts up the ladder, "Could a pocket dimension, have running electricity? Also, you said we communicate via cell phone? Seems like a pocket dimension might interfere with that, doesn't it?" Aiden searches the room, pausing at the dresser and opens his book.
"Beside it's unexpected appearance, is there any reason to believe this place is dangerous?" Once he receives an answer, Aiden heads down the ladder.
"I'm with you, Walter. No way I'm turning away from a chance to be involved with this but I do feel I should make one point: You need us Professor, it would behoove you to be candid with us in the future. I can't speak for the others, but if I feel like I'm being lied to again, I will take my ball and go home, so to speak."
Aiden is silent for a few moments, then speaks. “Are you suggesting that it may have been an illusion but that someone or something else was to blame? Regardless, we started all of this blind. We were made to believe that all this was some kind of experiment, when it is clear you have been aware of the power of these books all along. I know I probably would have participated regardless but it would have been my informed choice. How can we trust that this mission is really as safe as you say?”
“I think it was a setup but not an illusion, at least not the whole thing. I think it was more test than hazing though, Denton. Either way, I don’t appreciate that we were lied to about what we were getting into, especially since Valerie seemed to actually have fallen to whatever it was that was attacking us. Or was she part of this, as well?”
Aiden raises an eyebrow at Allison in a look that clearly says This is what you meant by boring?. "Professor, as much as this research sounds exciting, I think we should address the events that took place at the library before we go any further."
"Interesting, a rather clever way of handling it. If wear them openly, will normal people notice?" Aiden takes the amulet, examines it for a moment and puts it on under his shirt.
I'm good to move on to the meeting when everyone else.
Allison: "I saw her impaled on a metal pipe. I didn't think the magic we're using was capable of healing wounds that severe. Or are you suggesting that it might have been some kind of illusion." Aiden looks down for a moment. "I suppose we should keep this to ourselves for the moment."
Aiden follows Allison out of the room. Out in the hall: "I'm sure you recall that Professor Delereth passed in the library... incident. At our first class, the professor introduced herself as a Professor Alice Delereth in the occult studies department. I never caught the late professor's first name but I know she was in occult studies. I hate to assume but it seems like the school is covering her death. Do you know anything about this?"
"Well since we're acknowledging them now, Walter, my grimoire seems to have solved my translation issues." Aiden adjusts his glasses, mostly to show them off. "These translate for me, though I haven't had a chance to test them."
"Sure, but who is this boss? Allison when you get a chance, I'd like to speak with you in private."
Is this another situation where the grimories clue us in or do we have to figure out what the items do.?
Aiden raises an eyebrow at Walter. "Uhhh.. So Mike, you a good dream? Anything odd about it? Maybe Grimoire-related?"
Aiden walks in for breakfast a pair of horn rimmed glasses, "Morning, all".
Oh @dm would dual paths be okay?
I'm still trying to decide on a mythic feat and my item ability but I'll be ok with moving on for now. Walter did you want to do the roommate thing?
Only if I can be Chandler, not Ross haha. I wouldn't mind sharing a room Walter, makes for some good roleplay.
What's the sleeping situation? I assume we are still at the place Allison told us about, but do we have individual rooms or shared rooms?
Are we choosing a path and feat now as well?
How about Spectacles of Understanding with Metamagician?
As Aiden hears the woman say here name, he coughs slightly. Aiden turns to Walter with an eyebrow raised.
Aiden takes a seat next to Walter. "I didn't realize you were in this class, as well."
"Alright then, thanks." Aiden takes his Grimoire out of his bag, opens it, pulls the page from a separate section of his page and places the page in the book. "I suppose we should get to class, as well." Aiden stands up and looks at his plate, looking as if he wants to pick up the plate and take it away but he resists. "Should we all meet here later to discuss plans on investigating what happened last night?"
"I don't mean to intrude, but it would seem you should be opposite of worried if all you have gotten is boredom. Speaking of emotions, mine is still chomping at the bit to get at this new page. Allison, is there anything we should know about adding pages or would you say its best just let them have the ones we've found?"
"Don't get me wrong, I always want to learn but I enjoy it the most when not distracted by silly things like hunger or being attacked by monsters. Allison, do you know why weren't told the truth when we met for the ritual? Also, we never really performed the ritual but we seem to have to gained its benefits."
"I don't know awesome we really are friend. I'm Aiden, I'll allow the others to introduce themselves." Aiden looks slightly distressed. To Walter and Denton, he says, "It occurred to me once the adrenaline and awe wore off, we lost someone else down and we didn't even notice. We should speak with Allison and try to figure out the whole story on what happened in that building. I suppose we should eat, as well. Learning on an empty stomach is no fun." Aiden grabs a plate and loads up. As he begins his mood improves and you can see excitement at what they may learn.
"Let's get some rest before anything else crazy happens. Once I've rested I'm going to want to discuss all this for hours haha."
"Sure but let's make it quick Sal. Any opposition Walter." Aiden will follow Denton.
"I'd ask why pages popped out of him but honestly I don't really care right now." Aiden grabs Unprepared Combatant and starts heading for an exit. "Let's get out of here before something else tries to kill us."
Guess I'm still getting used to this. Aiden launches another spell at the beast.
"Is this thing ever going to die?"
"This rabbit hole is bit deeper than professors made it seem." Aiden says ducking back into the room.
"I follow... somewhat. I don't really have the presense of mind for it, right now. I understand enough for now." Aiden says sounding a bit irritated. Aiden pops out of the door and launches a bolt at the creature.
I was worried we lost you, Walter hah.
"Let's get out of here." Aiden sprints towards the exit.
Aiden ducks behind a shelf and gestures with his hand in a downward motion then points in a direction towards the exit that leads along the wall and places a finger on his lips. Aiden moves ahead keeping an eye on the creature, throwing his hand up of he sees it looking towards them.
I wonder what lovecraft would think of people playing games based on his stories, maybe he would have been a gm ha ha.
Move foward. Seemed silly to keep hanging out in the falling apart building.
Took too long typing my reply. I'll adjust it later to fit better/ make more sense.
"We can figure out what the page is later. Let's go while there's still an exit." Aiden starts heading back towards the exit but stops and looks back at the proffesor, "Dammit, I feel bad leaving her there like that. Hey Walter, think we have time to get her out of here."
