Zea nods "Of course we will." She searches for keys to release the prisoners. Lacking that, she sets to work with her magic blade, enhancing it with her arcane power until she can destroy the chains. "There. Now we've accomplished what we all really came here for, in a way. Throwing off chains."
This is the natural course of PBP games and even IRL games. Making it into the multiple thousand posts and keeping a game going for over a year is a success. That said, Zea's final act is going to be to release those guys. :D
Agreed, Jackdaw. We've had fun but it does look like the wind has been leaking from our sails. Thanks, GM! See you around, all.
Zea steps over to the prisoners "I think we should help them first." She turns to them "Are you alright? What happened to you?"
Zea searches the woman for anything magical and takes it away from her.
Zea shakes her head. "Oh no. No way. We are NOT killing you on this altar thing like you wanted those other guys to." She then shackles the woman and drags her off the altar.
Zea moves into the corner room to check it out.
Zea moves into the next room, still detecting magic.
Zea moves toward the corner she detects magic in. "I think she's somewhere over here!" She's so focused on finding the cultist, she barely notices the teens. "Oh uh... hi. Sorry. We have to catch this cultist quickly then we'll help you."
Zea points to the corner of the room. "The magic is coming from somewhere over there!"
Zea begins scanning for magic in the room that just opened.
Zea points where she guesses the cultist might be. "There, maybe?"
"That way! She went that way!" Zea points, shouts, and runs after the cultist.
Zea scans the area for the invisibility spell.
Pending resolution of fulfilling somatic components while shackled: Zea casts detect magic to search for the invisible cultist.
Zea gasps as Saul stabs the woman. She still wasn't used to killing prisoners like this. She shakes her head silently as a few tears trickle down her face but she doesn't say anything.
"Tell him that the cult is dissolving and formally releases all of the prisoners and the devil from his contract to guard them." Zea states firmly.
Zea's jaw drops and she looks at Jarithe utterly bewildered. I think that means trouble? She puts a hand on her black scimitar, which responds Oh good. I like a little trouble.
"Oh wow... That is so terrible... I'm glad we could help!" Zea beams up at the woman.
Zea looks quizzically at the cultist they've "rescued." "Uh... sure... and who are you? Why are you dressed like these fanatics?"
Little Zea rushes forward and slashes at the cultist's knees.
Thanks, Saul! Back now.
Zea nods. "Ok. I'll get ready too." She then shrinks herself down to Fhingle's size.
Zea nods. "That sounds good. Maybe we can avoid an unnecessary battle. I don't mind sending him back to his plane if we have to but I'm not too sure it would be easy..." She thinks for a moment. "Maybe if we kill all but one of these horrible cultists, we can force the last one to tell the devil that the prisoners should be released... That might end its contract..."
Zea thinks carefully. "<Your contract requires you to hold them until in order to be sacrificed by the cultists? So if all of the cultists died, then the arrangement would be void as there was no one to sacrifice the prisoners. So you would cease being bound to guarding them at that point?>"
Zea waits to see the response from Saul's question. If they could rescue the captives peacefully, that would be ideal. She didn't want to fight another one of these... things...
Zea nods and listens carefully for the devil's response to Jackdaw.
Zea nods. "<Thanks! What about these sacrifices? If the cult were to... disband... what would happen to them?">
Oh you're from Germany, Foxy? Always interesting to me to hear about players real lives. I'm in midwest US.
Zea relaxes somewhat as the devil doesn't seem immediately hostile. "<What do you do here? I'm here checking this place out with my friends to see if there's anything good here. What is up with those cultists? What's Mahathallah?">"
Zea listens carefully as Saul and the creature speak her native tongue. This was... unsettling... She grips her weapon tightly and pipes up "This underground hideout. What are you doing here?"
A heads up, due to a vacation, I will be sporadic at best from March 25th until April 5th. I'll post as able but it will almost certainly be far less than normal.
The rope is still lowered for Fhingle and Zea is ready to help him climb out.
Zea takes a look at any magical gear as well.
Zea nods and takes the other end of the rope. She then finds something secure to tie it to.
Zea paces in concern for Fhingle, wishing she was more helpful here. She calls out "Ba! Are you alright in there!"
Zea calls out in concern "Are you alright, Ba? Does anyone have a rope?"
Zea also stats shocked, her mouth opening and closing. Numbly, she follows Saul. Is there no good side in this fight?
Yeah just hoping that the circumstance of killing her friends helps out. No biggie if not. Mostly just RPing Zea's frustration and confusion at the situation.
Zea shakes her head at these odd women who forced their own deaths. She returns to the captive. "What in the Abyss is going on down here? More of your buddies just attacked us so we had to kill them. Tell us so the same doesn't happen to you!"
Previous round if allowed:
Zea attacks the woman near her twice with her flaming blade!
If the woman near her still stands, Zea keeps assaulting her! Zea attacks the woman near her twice with her flaming blade!
Zea falls still, paralyzed in place!
She manages to throw off the magical control but it takes too long for her to react in any way.
Zea rushes out to help with the strange enchantresses. She arrives in the middle of the room and, seeing three ladies apparently, sets her blade on fire.
Zea looks around wildly.
Zea shakes her head and states firmly "No! Tell us then we'll decide if we want you to show us."
Zea examines the wand to try to figure out what it does. She then takes some manacles and binds the woman. "Don't want her getting in the way again..."
