You know... Velaris chokes, feeling everything go cold and dark By the time I met all of you, I knew it wasn't Halthar he smiles a little as oblivion finally takes him.
Velaris hears the bang, and is knocked to the floor. he barely registers the pain. Why? he asks weakly, trying to get back to his feet, unable to even raise his arms.
The ritual is prepped. Velaris is just waiting on the signal to begin.
I am the prophet of Halthar. with him nothing is impossible. Velaris says A headache forming But if you would activate the spark craft devices at the appointed time, it would not be unwelcome.
We are prepared for the next step in the ritual, though I had to use the accolytes to dispose of a greycloack away from the sanctum. Velaris says, throwing Hutch the Greycloak's ghostbane charm It probbaly isn't safe to be here at the moment, perhaps you could assist them.
Velaris comes out, the greycloak's pistol in hand, and his spirit-bane charm around his neck. as he sees the scene, he asks Hutch, I don't recall you being at the hideout for the ritual. has something gone wrong?
There's time left, before the influx of energy would begin the next phase of the ritual. he double checks he sparkcraft devices, and applies oils to the bone, before sitting down, and taking a breather until the signal arrives.
Velaris steels himself. he hadn't wanted to allow ghosts into the sanctum, but the Greycloaks had forced his hand. Hear me, spirits, and obey, for tonight the great Halthar has need of you.
If he will last the move, would you two be willing to dispose of him Velaris says Leave him in that homeless camp and rip the bandage off, or feed him to some hagfish, or just toss him in a canal. and be back as fast as possible He says
Velaris uses one hand to put pressure on the wound, and the other to drag him back to the sanctuary. Would either of you please bind his wounds? Him dying just now would do us no favours. the interlopers dealt with Velari takes up the silvered knife once more. the constellations must be dome before Hutch is
Velaris drops to his knees, and brings his knife up, this time at his assailant's groin.
Pox ridden Whorespawn Velaris grunts as the bullet bounces off the armour he hid in his jacket. he had more expected to use that to deflect shards of Leviathan bone, on the chance of a miscast ritual. , he throws another knife, this one aimed at the shoulder of A$&&*%& Hutch, before darting forward to drive another one of the knives into his gut.
Velaris speaks with the voice of Constellations as he exits the sanctuary. Obey me, Spirit. he says, calling forth one of the ghosts loose in the hideout. as it ppers he said Seek out the intruders, and drain them of their life essence
with that, Velaris joins the ghost in seeking out the intruders
If you two have copeted the prep with the Sparkwright devices He looks over and nods approvingly when he sees they have I would ask that you inscribe, where I have marked it with chalk, the Stallion of Falitak, whilst I begin on the Serpent of Cabtorat He indicates Smooth lines, like a painters brush. Halthar finds those most pleasing. Try to make it a mirror of the images above He gestures to the ceiling of their sanctum, adorned with the most beautiful arrangements of the cosmos as they were
Using a specially prepared silver knife, Velaris is in the process of carving the five sacred constellations into the bone, whilst the acolytes fill 3 specialized spark devices with a mixture of leviathan blood, and special oils poured thrice over the Leviathan bone. when the murders occur, the deices will be activated. in much the same way that the lightening wall keeps demons out of the Dusk (mostly), these will prevent the energy from dissipating, and allow it to be concentrated ad channeled through the inscribes constellations, attuning the artifact to Halthar's will.
Velaris prowls through the streets near the jail Felfiz had shown him, looking for a greycloak. this is, after all, their turf. what he needed was a sacrifice,a dn it was better to use a Greycloak. If he couldn't find one, A vagrant would have to do, though his preference was for an enemy.
if we need to burn more coin, I'd love to get that third dot in attune, both for compel, and rituals.
Velaris slinks down to madame Tessaryns. he needs a friggin' drink
or 10
And then spends a day or so with various texts and occult talismen.
Also, do we need to research that ritual Hutch is proposing? and is it our next score, or do we have a few downtimes to research it?
I hope that pleases Halthar. would you have me in your ritual sanctum, or making the sacrifice? Velaris says, letting Felfiz take the lead
what's our next score? are we gonna deal with the Greys? do that thing for the sashes? be weird cultists? this last score would have been better to use Emaline on. also, do I tag out before or after downtime?
xp: address a challenge with arcane power or knowledge: well, he tried 1 xp Belief, drives and heritage: well, he acted like a scheming noble, briefly, before descending back into a stabby madman. he also was gonna throw lantern oil on the remaining greycloaks, and threaten to burn them if they didn't GTFO. 1xp? vice and traumas: nope 2 xp, I think
