"Blinks, get her!"

"I can guard them while you hunt," Soomdevi suggests to Tir. "Sounds like your skills are going to waste standing around, watching these fools. I can handle them until you come back."

Deception: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (16) + 20 = 36

"Let her live, keep her suffering going. Plus, these new four are pretty dumb and lazy. Get up there and get busy, you oafs! How's the progress anyway?"

Deception to lie: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (5) + 20 = 25

Hero Point!

Deception: 1d20 + 19 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 19 + 1 = 28 A little better at least.

Wider seems safer!

"Seems we've no choice but to swim through."

Soomdevi is not excited about the idea.

Soomdevi is clearly too cool to cast any light spells, so he looks to the others.

"Are you trying to light up the murk?"

Soomdevi rolls up his sleaves and tries to lift some rubble.

Athletics: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (8) + 12 = 20

"This may take a while..."

"This was the easy route?" Soomdevi asks, looking at the rubble.

Can I send Shadwdevi thgough to check it out?

Soomdevi, who can't help but acknowledge that "Tale-Queller is a pretty cool title, nonetheless says:

"No imitation Lore-Speaker is going to keep our friends prisoner!"

I'm back but I still need a little time to level.

"Let's tie them up and question them. We need to get to the bottom of this."

Soomdvi sends Blinks to attack 3 and then attempts to blast 5 with rubble.

Telekinetic Projectile: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (1) + 17 = 18
Damage: 5d6 + 4 ⇒ (3, 1, 5, 6, 4) + 4 = 23

Damage: 5d6 + 4 ⇒ (2, 3, 3, 2, 5) + 4 = 19

Telekinetic Projectile: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (15) + 17 = 32
Damage: 5d6 + 4 ⇒ (2, 4, 4, 6, 6) + 4 = 26

Piercing: 2d8 + 3 ⇒ (6, 8) + 3 = 17

Of course Soomdevi's mind immediately goes to Koride when Mariama suggests the knights are working with someone at the Maagambya, but no, it couldn't be. That might mean he was helping too. He thinks back to his mysterious clandesine missions in the shadow realm. No way.

Soomdevi rises to his full height and lowers his shroud. He fluffs the tulle.

"Posers are the worst. I've got no time for wannabes. Let's get out of here before we draw too much attention. Where's this cyclops ruin?"

Soomdevi gives Mariama a clove and lights his own as the trees burn around them.

"How'd all this get started anyway?"

"It would be nice to get answers to Frog Pond... But come on Mariama, is this the time and place?"

Soomedevi, thankful to still be alive, steps back and blasts #2 with more rocks and debris, then commands Blinks to move in and bite.

Telekinetic Projectile: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (17) + 17 = 34
Damage: 5d6 + 4 ⇒ (3, 6, 6, 5, 4) + 4 = 28

Soomdevi Fort save: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (2) + 15 = 17
Blinks Fort save: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (1) + 15 = 16

Of course. I'll HP Blinks's crit fail.

Blinks Fort save: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (17) + 15 = 32

Soomdevi commands Blinks to follow and then they double move out of the cloud.

"You're going to sponsor them? I don't mind. As long as they don't talk the whole trip."

Soomdevi is secretly pleased though to have found such a talented young caster all the way out here.

Soomdevi nods in agreement with Akoril and Chimwemwe.

"Every parent wants more for their child. The Magaambya is no instant ticket to success, like Chim said. If your child is worthy of getting into the Magaamybya, they won't need our help."

At the first mention of shadow folk, Soomdevi pulls down his shroud and hopes everyone will just take him for a dhampir.

Still, he says, "These Knights of the Gloaming Heart must be stopped. They've caused too much damage already. Were you able to capture any by chance? We may even find some clues if we search their camp."

He takes part in the meal, mostly to be polite, but does enjoy the drink.

Soomdevi takes the rock from the dead Iruxi.

Nature: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (16) + 16 = 32

"Oh, what luck. This is a stone from Eox, the planet known simply as The Dead. It is a rare and powerful spell component for necromantic curses."

Soomdevi moves in and then tries again to blast the knight.

Telekinetic Projectile: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (11) + 17 = 28
Damage: 5d6 + 4 ⇒ (5, 1, 3, 5, 2) + 4 = 20

Soomdevi tries again with a blast of rocks and sends Blinks in to bite.

Telekinetic Projectile: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (7) + 17 = 24
Damage: 5d6 + 4 ⇒ (2, 1, 2, 6, 4) + 4 = 19

Bite 1: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (8) + 15 = 23
Piercing: 2d8 + 3 ⇒ (8, 5) + 3 = 16

Soomedeiv tries again with a blast of rocks, and tells Blinks to attack, but has about as much luck as last time.

Telekinetic Projectile: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (13) + 17 = 30
Damage: 5d6 + 4 ⇒ (3, 1, 2, 6, 4) + 4 = 20

Bite 1: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (1) + 15 = 16
Piercing: 2d8 + 3 ⇒ (6, 1) + 3 = 10

Reflex Save: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (16) + 15 = 31

Soomdevi barely manages to dodge some of the electricity.

He uses his mind to pummel the Knight with rocks, and then sends Blinks in to attack.

Telekinetic Projectile: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (14) + 17 = 31
Blunt Damage: 5d6 + 4 ⇒ (3, 3, 3, 4, 2) + 4 = 19

Piercing: 2d8 + 3 ⇒ (6, 6) + 3 = 15

Intimidation: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (14) + 14 = 28

"Yes, we need to know more about these people, were they really made of shadow? They have to be from the Shadow Magammbya. There's no time to lose, we have to go!"

"How big is your brood?"

With help from Shadow Devi, Soomdevi cautiously serves the tea, curious as to how the dragon will react when she realizes the whole village is dead.

"Careful, it's hot," Soomdevi says and Shadow Devi giggles nervously.

Occultism: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (9) + 20 = 29

"We have some good news and some bad news. The good news is, we can make breakfast for you, and I can brew some wonderful, soothing tea. The bad news is, well, complicated, so I'll get working on that tea."

Occultism: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (13) + 19 = 32

"I think the villagers had honored among them, who could grow dragon wings and fly among the clouds like a dragon. If we don't respect the history of this place and we awaken whatever lies inside the egg-shaped building, we may be in for trouble or whatever."

Maybe it's due to his vampiric nature, maybe it's the late nights spent "researching", but Soomdevi burns most of the daylight hours by sleeping, preferring to wake when the shadows are long, and the crickets begin to sing. He wears his veiled mask to keep nosy students at bay, and to hide the bags under his eyes.

He finds some comfort in watching the mummies work, in their finding a purpose in undeath, but he is uncomfortable with that realization. Any feelings he has about it he explores through cryptic poetry and discusions with Noxolo and Mariama.

After sunset he takes his students out to collect insects and fauna, looking for the impact of the red silt in the local ecosystem and in the blood. His study group only consists of students who can see in the dark, as he refuses to by burdened with light sources. Plus the light brings unwated attention. While the students are busy, he looks for any signs of interference from the shadow plane and tries to keep his paranoia in check.

Occultism: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (15) + 19 = 34
Occultism: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (17) + 19 = 36
Occultism: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (6) + 19 = 25

"Let me take a look."

Nature: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (6) + 15 = 21
Occultism: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (6) + 19 = 25

Soomdevi sends Blinks to attach Zomebie 2, and then blasts it with rubble.

Bite 1: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (15) + 14 = 29
Piercing: 2d8 + 3 ⇒ (8, 5) + 3 = 16

Telekinetic Projectile: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (18) + 16 = 34
Damage: 4d6 + 4 ⇒ (1, 4, 1, 1) + 4 = 11

Soomdevi Fort save: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (4) + 14 = 18

Soomdevi can't quite protect himself from the fog.

Will Save: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (4) + 14 = 18

Soomdevi is frieghtened by the scream, but he sends missiles flying at the cloud.

Magic Missiles: 3d4 + 3 ⇒ (3, 4, 2) + 3 = 12

Soomdevi also learns Ghostly Weapon, just barely paying enough attention to do so.

Occultism: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (2) + 19 = 21

"I don't know what I want this spell for anyway, so whatever."

He's looking forward to the burial though.

"If we're already wearing black do we need to wear more? I guess it couldn't hurt."

He fluffs the veil of tulle on his mask in anticipation.

"We'll need to get rid of that thing at some point, but should we explore some more first?"

Soomdevi cast Ill Omen on the creature. DC 26 Will save

And then casts shield.
