The Psionicle, Part IX

[GnomeWorks]

Continuation of the Psionicle game.

-----

The party has just rested up, and decided who will take each of the tests the strange figure in the clearing has put before them.

-----

The skies darken, and the rustling of the wind blowing through the trees reaches your ears again, though no wind stirs. The dark figure appears, suddenly, in the circle of stones, as the two moons begin rising over the horizon.

"The Voices demand that you take the tests now, before the night's end." The figure says. "Those of your number who will take the first test, the Test of Merle, step towards the stone circle."

 

[Zhure]

Osius

"I am one of the ones selected for the Test of Merle."

 

[The Forsaken One]

Good luck my friends... but don't use it all at once. We'll be needing some as well...

 

[GnomeWorks]

"Then step forward," The shadow figure says to Osius, motioning for him to come closer.

"And who is the other?"

 

[Jarval]

"Desimus, do you wish to undertake this task?" Jansson asks the sorcerer.

 

[Zhure]

Osius

Osius steps up, morningstar ready. "If necessary, I will face the test alone."

 

[Jarval]

"A brave thought, my friend, but one of us will accompany you. If not Desimus, then perhaps Shardorn will aid you." Jansson looks at the cleric questioningly.

Desimus finishes a prayer under his breath and looks up.

"No, that will not be necessary. I will stand at your side Osius. I am ready for what will come."

 

[GnomeWorks]

Shardorn looks at Desimus. "Are you certain? I think that, perhaps, your skills may be better suited to the non-physical test. But, if you feel that you will be better suited to this one... it is your decision. I can accompany Osius, if you do not wish to; I am skilled enough with my mace to be of some use in this test."

 

[dkoz]

Desimus deflates a bit.

"I am willing to take this test, but you are right Shardorn you would be the better choice. I am not that skilled with weapons."
