[QUOTE="Nephis, post: 9270929, member: 20459"] [I]Then, from deep within her l'pahb'gin, [B]PA'AVU[/B] feels the steady beat of a drum. <Tunk. Tunk. Tunk...> Is it her own heartbeat? Or something external. No, it is both external [B]and [/B]internal: her l'pahb'gin's eternal connection with Stoneroot. As the beats within drown out the insidious whispers, the remote view of the crucible's contents become a vision. In her mind's eye, she can see the original Stoneroot - before His initial defeat by Vezzuvu - tall and strong against the perfectly blue sky - an inspiration for all his stoneblessed children. Then, horrifically, the molten fire building up below, building, BUILDING in intensity and heat until ... Pa'avu gives an inward wince, seeing the mountain explode in fire, destroying Stoneroot's first form. But the steady beat continues. <Tunk. Tunk. Tunk...> She feels herself sinking into the sacred bath, deep within Stoneroot's Perch, sinking down, down, down with each beat. Stoneroot's Spirit, freed by Death to enter all who follow him, seeps into her skin, sees through her eyes, sees the view of the crucible, hears the false words of the Duchess of Cinders. And smiles. His "whisper" to the efreet causes her to shudder, for while it is unheard by the others, she can feel it thundering, not only in her mind but reverberating throughout her molten body. He also sends her this vision: a cloud of cinders descending upon the molten contents of the crucible, smothering it. "[I]Always it was such with fire and stone: they war against each other, but stone stands fast. It always returns after battling with fire. The fire will [B]never [/B]defeat it completely. My children will always be One with Me in this." The Duchess of Cinders stares into Pa'avu's eyes which seem to an ice cold blue for a moment, before noticing the goliath's lithoderms mirroring this, before all return to black, but a darker black than before. And are they larger?[/I][/I] [HR][/HR] * We are parlaying an Advantage to gain 2 Successes from this Success at the Hard DC. * Pa'avu uses her Daily Barbarian Power: Rage of the Death Spirit ("As you strike, robbing your foe of its strength, you awaken a spirit that commands your enemies' attention") for an autosuccess: 1 Success at Hard DC = 2 Successes in SC.
