Meanwhile, in the city, Sytt is having an awkward time at his bar. People are angry, and people know Sytt--a rather demon-like individual--has had dealings with the school. Sytt has beaten back three attempts on his life already, and one of them was pretty close.

Right, I mostly got that. What has me confused is the balor entering an extremely orderly realm. Did I misunderstand that?

Sorry, I meant to post that question here.

"Oh, crap...those idiots are letting daemons through?" Normally, of course, Sytt would have no problem with this. He is a daemon, after all. But his unique bindings compel him to worry. His mutterings aren't exactly having a pleasing affect on the patrons, either.

He'd probably panic, if he sees them at all. I don't plan on making him a major character--that chapter of my roleplaying career is over, and for very good reason.
Sytt prowls through the streets moodily. Saeroth had not been pleased with his failure. He remembers the conversation vividly.

Sytt grumbles. "Do these illusionists think I'm made of money? Now I'm going to have to go and clear this with all the toppers, and they'll talk to their betters, and it'll just take forever. Dammit!" He vanishes.

Expecting to find something to by-pass the grounds, Sytt through his deductive reasoning realizes that the bottom of his portable holes holds swirling grey matter. This semi-substance is reminiscent of the ethereal plane. Actually, he didn't expect to find a way through it. He was just kind of curious. As in 'hmm, maybe this will explode, or cancel the wards, or do something shiny'. "Weird," Sytt mutters. "Time for some guesswork. I kind of wonder whether it's any different over here?" He vanishes.On the Ethereal Plane, he inspects the ghostly subrealm to see whether the house looks any different.

"Styx!" Sytt says, bewildered. "These people don't like eavesdroppers!" He considers the gates for a moment. Then he grins. "Now, do I still have that..." He reaches into his body. He pulls out a large ring that should not have fit in his body at all (but then again, neither should any of the things he pulls out). He sighs with immense relief as it leaves his body. "Portable hole in this? I'm curious." He moves the portable hole into an area so that it overlaps with two of the gates.I don't mind if it doesn't work. And on that note, I gotta go!

Sytt lets out a moan as he yanks out the false eye. "I hate that! Hades, that hurts!" He stuffs it back into his body and pulls out a scroll. "Kinda wanted to save this," he mutters. He speaks a spell, and the scroll bursts into flame. He yelped and drops it, but it is already ash. "Stupid Efreet." He scowls and searches the area once again with his enhanced vision. A scroll of true sight. He prefers to save his scrolls, as they are generally rewards for doing well given to him by important people, and someone with as low a rank as his has to treasure such things. The eye is a permanent accessory, but meant to go with another to make it effective. It hurts a great deal to just use one, as the magic is skewed, but it beats having to use a scroll. Just thought I'd explain why he didn't use the scroll in the first place.

Sytt sighs. "Reception could be better," he mutters. His claw disappears back into his body and comes out with a tiny orb. He pushes it into his right eye socket, and it pops in as the real eye sinks down. He scans the area, left eye closed. Basically, it gives him the ability to detect magic at the expense of normal sight. He can still see both, but blurred and without depth perception. With normal eye closed, he can see magical effects well enough (though still without depth perception), but without any normal sight.

Good. I probably would have offended somebody. Meanwhile, not far away, Sytt is investigating the house's surroundings, trying to find anything unusual.

"That's the trouble with humans." Sytt suddenly says from a pipe. "They always assume that they need our magic to be competent. The truth is, they never were competent in the first place and no magic can change that." He falls silent. "Oh, um, right. I'm gone." And he vanishes.Kind of imitating the way I'm always itching to take part, even when I shouldn't for the continuity. Sytt is like me, but even more annoying. :P
Tristan the Waif wrote: :::Uncle Solmyr, anyone, someone, make that snake go away!::: Syt looks angry for a moment, then changes his face into an even more unpleasant smile. "Kid, right now I'm on your side. That could change." He turns to stare at the others. "Don't say I didn't try to warn you. The Servants just got something that could tip the scales, and we just lost a few allies we could need. Beware of the deep and shadow, for they are no longer your friends." His simpering look changes into a malicious smirk. "I'll be watching." He vanishes.
On the way, there is a large puddle. In the puddle is a black snake, slithering about. When it notices you, it gets up guiltily. It is Sytt.
