Onye Dinta's page

The lion’s black mane blazes momentarily like stoked embers and lightning crackles in his eyes a moment before he pounces on the reanimated beast emerging through the doorway. He bites and tears in a fury.

The lion continues to squeeze back into the hall. There he crouches, ready to punish anything that comes into the smaller hall.

The amurrun backs away from the aquarium. "Retreat behind Onye Dinta," he says. "Onye Dinta will block the abomination's path." He chants the foreign prayer that summons the powers of the spirits of creation. He glows and becomes indistinct as he transforms into a giant lion.

The amurrun prowler backs away from the glass tank. He growls quietly under his mask as he considers the situation, "Should the creature be left to the creature's slumber? Contained?"

The catfolk snatches his hand back from the glass with cat-like reflexes.

(4th wall irony intended)

"Should the tribe do anything?" the catfolk wonders out loud to the others. He places a hand upon the glass.

"More than enough for Onye Dawon to condemn Etward," he growls behind his mask in agreement with Nicholo. "The heads of Onye Dawon and the tribe are not for harvest."

To the amurrun who calls himself Onye Dinta's eyes alone, a female amurrun and three amurrun cubs emerge through tears in reality. They berate him for failing them, for not being there when the beast came hunting.

Occultism (T): 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (17) + 10 = 27

His training as a prowler at world's end prepared him for eldritch tricks such as these. His consciousness begins to note the incongruities.

The catfolk reaches over his shoulder to feel the brand on the back of his neck. "Onye Dinta feels used," he says quietly as he follows Nicholo into the next room. "Onye Dinta agreed to investigate the missing moment for Etward, but Onye Dinta feels this scrying should have been disclosed."

The amurrun nods as Grundle heads back to the manor. Once they decide to head south, he slinks along the passage. Along the way, he comments, "Onye Dinta suspects that Etward Ritalson has found a devious use for the heads of Gatewalkers."

The amurrun growls behind his wooden mask as Nicholo reveals the human skulls. "The tribe does not have eniugh time to put the dead to rest," he laments. "The tribe should hunt the other way."

"Onye Dinta does not like the floating tar," the amurrun growls behind his wooden mask once it is gone and paces. "Onye Dinta does not like that Onye Dinta does not remember the floating tar but the tar remembers Onye Dinta. Onye Dinta suspects the tar is an unraveller."

Religion (T): 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (4) + 12 = 16

"Why would one need to break open that gate?" the amurrun muses.

Once the catfolk has finished tending to their wounds, he follows Nicholo through the secret door.

He prowls a circuit around the room to look for danger. The collection of wooden masks clack softly against his thigh with each step. Sensing no immediate threat, he thumbs through some of the notes. "Etward hides the meaning of the writing under a cypher with the language of the unravellers," the amurrun informs the others.

Onye knows 2 of 3, but I don't know that we want to spend the time here.

The giant leopard turns on the stage as the first daemon falls. His eyes blaze with golden light, and he bounds over the tops of the benches toward the daemon assaulting the other half of his tribe. Once within reach, he snaps at the creature with a ferocious bite.

The giant leopard rolls part of the way out of the flames with a yowl. He turns his attention to the daemon and stares at it with gleaming, golden eyes. The powerful cat jukes one way and then another, trying to throw the daemon off balance before lunging for a bite.

Taking a small step back, the leopard swipes at the daemon's legs.

Oh, I had meant to signal interest in that.

"Unravelers of the weave must be dealt with," the catfolk growls quietly behind his wooden leopard mask before chanting the words that summon the amurrun spirits of creation. His form glows, melts, and expands into the shape of a giant leopard. He then hastily moves past the columns toward the stage.

The catfolk speaks with Vaxtervin for a while before roaming outside the manor. "In the land of the godcallers, the tribe met a god of solitude called Ruun," he eventually explains to Vaxtervin. "There were many powerful beings encountered on the journey of the tribe."

"Vaxtervin believes the manor is haunted?" the catfolk asks. "Onye Dinta has not noticed any spirits beyond those who follow Onye Dinta."

Yes. The tribe will head south," the amurrun agrees.

The giant cat transforms into mist, which melts away to reveal the amurrun prowler. "The battle against the demons was worthy," he says as he moves to address the worst of the wounds with a divine touch. "The tribe has done well."

The giant cat steps around the demon and then pounces, mauling at the horse-demon with all his strength and further spurred by Grundle's compulsion.

Bleeding, the giant hunting cat leverages his feline strength to pry the pincers holding him apart long enough to leap back to the ground. He snaps at the demon in frustration while carrying close to its legs.

At the sight of the demons, the amurrun's black mane smolders like a breathed upon coal. He in not fast enough to act before the giant demon rushes forward. The amurrun speaks the ancient words of transformation. He shifts into a glowing mist that expands and ultimately recedes to reveal the giant hunting cat.

The spotted cat bites at the pincered monstrosity.

"Onye Dinta notes that Sakuachi has made three sacrifices," the catfolk says. "There is nothing else but to stride forward."

"M'ma Agha Onye guard the hidden cities of the amurrun where outsiders are not allowed," the catfolk says with a solemn tone underneath his mask. "Daehalya is making no sense. Nicholo would never make the cut. Nicholo is too noisy."

The amurrun once more endures the spiritual onslaught as best he can. He then presses back at the spirit with his own bond to natural spirits. ""The spirits of creation blessed Onye Dinta," he growls. "Onye Dinta will not be cowed."

He then moves to where he can intercept the frost owls should they attack his companions.

The giant cat fades into mist and leaves the amurrun behind. "The beast was decidedly unpleasant," he comments. "Let Onye Dinta tend to the wounds."

With the vegetation's attention split, the giant cheetah pounces upon it with a growl enhanced by a flare of flame in his eyes and a roar of wind whipping around his body.

"Is Nicholo certain that Nicholo can climb down safely?" the amurrun asks as he watches the tiefling prepare to descend.

"Onye Dinta does not understand the challenge here if the room is the trial," the catfolk says as Daehalya proposes stepping further into the room. Then he adds cryptically, "And Onye Dinta cannot fly."

"Onye Dinta recognizes that the spirit has good intentions," the catfolk says. He tries to reason with the haunt as based on the runes, it appears to be related in some way to the spirits of creation. However, just in case, he slings his kudu hide shield over his shoulder and pulls the other wooden masks from his belt.

"Here is a bridge to cross the river," the catfolk notes as they pass it. He makes sure that each of them are in full fighting condition before he approaches the door.
