Hmm good question, she's ready, but I'm not sure if she wants to show up right this moment after Elisai left, or if its better for them to meet on the road. I guess it doesn't matter too much, I'm happy either way.
I think that lets Elisai gracefully exit, with room to reoccur towards the end of the campaign if really required (maybe a dramatic moment down the line?), although I don't have any immediate plans to bring her back. I can have Elisai's friend show up now or slightly later.
In the morning, Elisai's door is open, bed made, and a letter placed on the bed addressed to everyone. Elisai's Letter: Hello Everyone. You will need to forgive me, that I didn't tell you all my preparations, but I felt I had to make this decision on my own, and I wasn't sure how you would all react. I'm writing this letter, as a farewell, of sorts, although with good fortune, I may see you soon. I never told you this, but I did want a life after this task of ours, I wanted to be free, and happy." "With the release of the pit fiend, I feel that this is no longer much of an option. It distracts me, leaves me always looking over my shoulder. Not only does it prevent all of us from moving on, its also a risk to our task, for we never know when it might appear to spoil our mission. I don't think delaying our mission is a good idea, so I'm splitting off, and I'm going to try and hunt this pit fiend down myself, hopefully with some allies along the way. It will be a large task, but if I succeed I can remove a potential obstacle to our futures. Currently, it is our fault that it was unleashed on the world, and I will take responsibility to clean it up. If good fortune permits, and I can successfully vanquish it, then I will track you down, and join you once again, should your task not yet be complete." "I'm not entirely thoughtless though, and I wouldn't leave you in a worse position than before. I have a friend that I met through Wicked Grace, someone I trust deeply. She is a good fighter, and I think she will be useful. I have already contacted her, and she will try and meet up with you soon. I will miss you guys, but I hope to see you eventually, when our tasks are complete. Love, Elisai."
Elisai switches to her Champion Spirit, moving and drawing her greatsword in a single swift movement and she tries to take down one of the remaining trolls
Elisai casts Haste on the party, improving her team's attacking abilities.
I also had about 3 more channels as well that I would have used that day if anyone needed more healing to get full
Seeing allies chip away at the creature, Elisai attempts to Channel once again.
Elisai steps back and unleashes a Channel Energy, healing all allies in the radius.
Happy New Year :)
Merry Christmas guys :)
Elisai stalks back closer towards the scorpion, full of anger for temporarily abandoning her friends to its attacks and seeking to make up for the flood of emotion that had rendered her helpless.
"Yes Sunday, I was indeed hoping to live a little further beyond twelve months" Elisai hisses, before following the rest of the group into the room
Once inside the room, Elisai immediately retreats in fear.
Just got back from work now So like, OOC I totally understand Sunday releasing it, but Elisai is super pissed at him IC now, and I don't feel like roleplaying her being a negative nancy for like...ages. Its probably best if I just roll her up as a new character to avoid any issues.
"A Pit fiend is basically a General of Hell. At full strength, its probably one of the most frightening things to face in battle. Some of them eventually become demigods, but all tend to raise large armies and then wage war on the world or planar landscapes. They make these giants we have been fighting look like a puppy dog." Elisai hesitates a little at the next part. "They are undoubtedly evil creatures, but honor bound - as it were, with the goals of twisting mortal souls into becoming one of Hells denizens. You could make a bargin, and I imagine that it would honor it, but also attempt to twist it secretly. Pit Fiends tend to be immortal, and tend to take the long view. Just be aware Sunday, that its probably furious at being seen in such a weak state. If you want to let it out just for information, ensure that it does not come back later at full strength, and play your body like a harp."
Elisai, slightly suspicious, casts a Guidence spell on herself, before channeling her Trickster Spirit, trying to determine what exactly the creature was to best determine if it was lying.
With the sudden knowledge she possesses, her eyes light up in dismay, especially seeing how eager Sunday was to free it. "Guys, I'm going to recommend we don't free this creature at all. Its hard to tell due to how pathetic it looks, but that's actually a Pit Fiend, imprisioned for some reason. I doubt it has any willingness to save a mortal village, probably intends to raze it to the ground."
"They look a little...creepy" Elisai says reluctantly, before heading over to help Delendir with the skull removal.
"Actually, I can wield it just fine, if I use one of my spirits to grant me proficiency with it." Elisai offers carefully, by way of advice.
Elisai immediately takes the total defense action in the face of the huge threat, standing into a passive posture.
Eagle-eyed, Elisai prepares herself for whatever happens next...
Elisai follows closely behind Delendir, stepping where he steps to avoid triggering any traps, while clutching her weapon close, certain that more enemies might lie around the corner. "I haven't worked in a dam before, so I don't know much about a layout or how it works unfortunately. Anyone else?" she replies to the half-elfs question.
"Let me know if its trap free" Elisai calls up at Delendir, fairly confident in her friends trap finding skills. She isn't worried about being able to follow the Half Elf up the stone entrance-way, but she is worried about clumsily triggering some potentially lethal tripwire. So its with care and caution when she shields her eyes with a hand and carefully watches her friends progress.
Elisai steps up and attacks the closest ogre with a flurry of attacks.
Elisai moves closer to the ogres, trying to follow up on Sunday's swings with a speedy slash.
Elisai casts Haste immediately, on surprise, before heading up and slotting behind Sunday, casting Mirror Image again on herself.
Elisai switches spirits, attempting a more aggressive option, stepping in closer and lashing out with three quick strikes.
Elisai casts Mirror Image, before walking closer to the creature, channelling her Guardian abilities. images
"Why does everything that Thassilonian's build have to be big and huge" ELisai grumbles slightly, still impressed by the size and scale of the dam. "One would think that they would be compensating for something".
Elisai frowns, but remains determined to channel recent events, as well as her rage into a more productive outlet. Fighting things that regenerated to her basically meant that they were a punching bag that she could hit all day long. "I'm ready if we want to go and look into this" she responded simply.
"Don't be SILLY, I can bring him back, I just, I just need more healing, thats all" Elisai remarks, fighting back tears as she tries, and fails to shrug off the dragon's embrace as she tries to heal the man again, before crying again as she fails.
Elisai sits on the ground in front of the man who had died, lower lip quivering a little. Her hands glowing, she attempts to heal the man, pouring her divine energy into his body. "Heal" she breathes for a moment, before getting upset when the channel has no effect. "Heal" she says again, blasting her healing power into the man again, having the same result. "HEAL" she yells again before being reduced to tears at the failure of her channeling abilities.
Elisai almost drops her blade in shock, heartbroken that the confusion cloud and affected her mind so badly. Even though the action was not strictly her control she feels a knife of guilt slide under her ribs. Standing on the shore the medium lets out a cry of rage and pain as the creature rests far away.
Elisai swings her blade in an arc, lashing out at her perceived enemies.
Elisai reacts defensively, while the craft is pushed down the river, the medium casts Mirror Image, trying to make herself as small as possible against the huge creature.
"Tree's don't tend to dodge obstacles on their own" Elisai points out rather obviously, her eyesight not as good as the others but still sharp enough to observe the obvious. The recent entry of the gigantic snake has made her a tad wary, and she clutches her sword for safety.
Elisai almost gives up at the idea of trying to calm down a group of children at the sight of a giant bat and a dragon trying to pull a boat. ”Children, children, you need to calm down, they won’t hurt you, just think of them as more ermmm, pets” Elisai attempts, trying to make them sound more adorable and cuddly, as opposed to big and scary.
Elisai is much less confident about relying on a gigantic bat to fly her across the river, but on the other hand, she wasn't really keen on the idea of having to swim and needing to be fished out like Delendir, so gingerly climbs up onto Sunday's back. She is much relieved to be on solid ground after crossing though, and gives the bat a grateful - if awkward, nod of things.
Elisai nods gratefully, at the healing, still a little groggy after being out for so long. "As much as I desire revenge, perhaps I might need to wait a bit before attacking her again head on."
