![]() Is it possible for me to try and snatch the contract away from Wilhelm while he is being grappled? Would it require a steal maneuver? "Sir Wilhelm, think! Whatever it wants you to do must be in it's best interest, not ours!" Voreni shouts, despite knowing logic is futile in the face of enchantment magic. ![]()

![]() Round 6, Init 13 "Sir Wilhelm! Do not listen to it!" shouts Voreni as drops his rapier and rushes to Wilhelm. He tries to grab the human's arms. Grapple Check: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13 For an imp, this thing sure is doing a number on us! :P ![]()

![]() Round 4, Init 13 Surrounded by a crackling nimbus of electricity and tired of the game, Voreni draws his rapier with a flourish. "Come then, 'sister!' Let us recreate the pecking order of Hell here on the material plane. Surely a full-blooded devil can best a bastard like me, right?" Moving away from the bunch so I look isolated and readying an action to attack, hoping to provoke it into going after me. ![]()

![]() Round 3, Init 13 Voreni takes out one of his vials and gives it a good shake before drinking the contents. Drinking my shock shield extract. ![]()

![]() Round 2, Init 13 Voreni quiets his mind and focuses his hearing as best as he can to discern the location of the imp. Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6 "Too much ambient noise," he mutters and maintains his defensive posture. Continuing to use full defense. I really agree that this imp could deliver some harmful intel to it's devilish superiors if we banish it, so I'm a little wary of fighting it. ![]()

![]() "Don't give it what it wants!" Voreni shouts as he draws his weapon and assumes a defensive stance. "Is there anything we can do to keep from allowing it to return to Hell? Hold it off until someone can use the contract to seal it away?" Initiative: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13 ![]()

![]() "None of us can help being who and what we are. You cannot help being a sadistic being, this is true, however you are a liability. I pity you, imp, but we both know we are not siblings in blood, spirit, or any other sense of the word." Voreni glances at Wilhelm. "Are we all priests of Sarenrae now?" His calm demeanor is somewhat shaken by the pitiful imp's manipulations. It causes Voreni to feel agitated and snap at his companions as his tail flicks restlessly behind him. ![]()

![]() "I do not care about the message, but I do care that we cannot trust it and that we can count on it serving it's own desires to sow death and destruction. We must dispose of it immediately." ![]()

![]() Voreni's eyes go wide at the sight of the furious creature and his mind races. Without thinking much about what he is doing he draws his rapier and moves carefully to try and place himself between it and the sisters he had been standing beside while stabbing at the beast. Move action to draw, 5' step if needed/possible, attack action. Rapier: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16

![]() Voreni slowly moves to stand near the Fushi's. "How are things? Rexus has a look that reminds me of my mentor when he was deep in concentration." ![]()

![]() "That we go to help the person who has yet to lead us astray is without question, of course." We have to move our operation somewhere more private that a public business... He thinks to himself. ![]()

![]() Voreni nods with Laria's wise advise about laying low but frowns when he hears Rexus is worried. "Rexus' instincts have been pretty good so far. If he thinks trouble is coming in his direction, it likely is. The question is, can we assist him without being noticed by that trouble? We must keep our profile to a minimum after the Salt Works." ![]()

![]() Sorry for your loss. Also my apologies for being away a while, nothing bad, just RL throwing too much at me for me to keep up. Will get caught up on the gameplay thread soon. ![]()

![]() I wish I could handle another game, because I've always been curious about that one from some of the weird rumors and spoilers I have heard. Still, going to have to dot. ![]()

![]() "There will be fires soon enough, I fear. It would hide evidence of our passing, however." Voreni muses, unaware that the decision has already been made to avoid the destruction. "If I had prepared more thoroughly, perhaps we could have examined the potential for a limited scale arson attempt. Keep the fire contained to the office area alone, for instance." He finally snaps out of his thoughts when he sees everyone else preparing to leave. "Right. No sense crying over spilled alchemical reagents now! Captives have been freed, villains have been trounced. Time to determine our next move." ![]()

![]() "Thank you, Corian," Voreni says in response to the magical healing. He frowns at the tears in his clothing and scuffed armor, but is otherwise glad for his black attire. His mentor often told him that blood would not show on black fabric the way it would with other colors. Not to mention how easy it is to blend into shadows. "Beyond their condition, others may have heard the conflict and went to fetch the dottari. We need to move quickly and try and cover our tracks as much as possible." ![]()

![]() Voreni worries about Corian, but knows he won't be able to help if he also goes down and keeps focusing his wounded body into taking the defense. Full defense again/still. ![]()

![]() Sorry, short summer semester keeps distracting me. Voreni has few options at the moment anyway, beyond keeping his defense up and going down like the inquisitor... ![]()

![]() Round 5, Init 21 Voreni maintains his stance, trying desperately to remain standing despite his blood loss. Just continuing the full defense thing! ![]()

![]() Voreni mutters a weak apology to Corian, "Did...did not...sorry..." He manages to barely stay on his feet. If he had not been so badly banged up, he might realize that feigning unconsciousness would be the safe move. Instead he assumes a shaky defensive stance. ![]()

![]() Cool. I don't think I can handle an additional game at this time, and a part of me really wants to find a GM to run that for my VTT/longtime group, but I might still check it out just to check it out. ![]()

![]() Round 3, Init 21 Voreni staggers forward with an, "Oof!" Damn! I think he cracked my scapula! It probably would not be in my best interest to release the static discharge from the shock shield extract, but tactically, this is a fantastic use of it! Voreni stabs at Kossrani with his rapier. Rapier: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21
He then forces the shock shield to discharge, casting arcs of azure lightning in all directions. Electricity Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 5 DC 14 Reflex for half damage to all targets within 5' (and Voreni!) Apologies, Ignati, if you end up getting too close, but surrounded by three baddies is too tempting. Reflex: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12 Voreni is left scorched from the desperate move and looks shaky on his feet. ![]()

![]() Round 2, Init 21 Voreni steps back from his foe and shakes the extract bottle to mix the reagents fully then quaffs the concoction before assuming a ready stance. Ready attack action in case someone enters my threatened space, shockshield in effect. Rolling ahead of time in case someone triggers my action. Readied Attack: Rapier: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15
Damage if hit: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3 ![]()

![]() Init: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 21 Round 1, Init 21 Voreni takes a deep breath and draws his weapon with one hand and a shockshield extract with the other. ![]()

![]() Voreni looks the newcomer up and down, appraising him. Sense Motive: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6 Trying to figure out if he means salt or "salt"...feel like we're walking into a front organization here. ![]()

![]() "Just give me a moment to ensure my equipment and reagents are ready," Voreni says as he begins to do just that. Pretty sure he is ready for something more substantial to investigate than an invisible, possibly magical manipulator, so let's go! ![]()

![]() Voreni raises an eyebrow at Wilhelm's outburst. "We better make a decision on how to proceed. I tend to believe a creature such as this has great command over magic, and I do not believe it will be easily fooled, but we can still try. At the very least, we might be able to identify the assailant by the abilities it employs." ![]()

![]() "Perhaps if we could locate a spellcaster with enough skill. Otherwise," Voreni pulls Wilhelm aside and whispers, trying to keep Morgar from being able to hear him, "Otherwise, our best bet would be to use poor Morgar as bait for the possible supernatural being manipulating his psyche. If we can catch it in the act, or observe his behaviors and affect, his visible emotional state that is, then we would have more evidence to support or disprove his statements." ![]()

![]() Voreni raises an eyebrow at Morrigan's actions, then shrugs. Everyone has their own methods of coping with stress. "I think you may want to get used to feeling paranoid, Lady Winters. Operational security would demand that we all always assume we are being watched at all times and take appropriate precautions. I know that some may find such a mode of thinking as, well, unsettling, but it is more likely to keep us safe as individuals and as a group. Until this is over, our personal comfort will need to take a back-seat to the needs of the honest citizens." ![]()

![]() Voreni looks sheepish in response to Morrigan's playful comment and thanks Ignati for his assistance before turning to the sisters. "I am very sorry for your loss." ![]()

![]() Voreni frowns, wishing he'd studied more engineering under his mentor. The only thing he can do is try and help the currently unproductive effort to free the trapped individual. While he lifts, he tries his best to recall what little he does know about physics and engineering and apply it to practice. Str: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 2 = 22
Total of 25. Hopefully some other teammates can aid another if that doesn't cut it! ![]()

![]() Voreni glances about ensuring the group is not being watched before following the others into the Nest. I am beginning to jump at every shadow. It is not paranoia if they are really out to get you, correct? Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9 ![]()

![]() Voreni is less enthusiastic than the others. "It could be a ruse. We must watch this development carefully. Regardless, Sir Wilhelm and Lady Winters are correct: Let us not lose focus on our most immediate task." ![]()

![]() Voreni stays out of the planning for now, lost in thoughts of his own failure and of Lily. I really need to check up on her. There is just so much going on. "Salt Works? Yes, sounds good," he adds in an absent-minded tone.
