Alnar looks into Maschera eyes, now just noticing how beautiful they were. He has never seen a women with such a piercing, hypnotic stare. It was wonderful, bewitching, intoxicating.

He wanted to protect this women, protect her with his life. He could do anything when she was at his side. Just walking out of here seemed not only possible, but impossible not to occur. He trusted her completely, just as she trusted him.

Did she love him like he loved her? He asked himself and they walked down the passageways of the temple. He hoped so, hoped very much with all his heart and soul. He may have to earn that love, yes! He would do anything to earn that love, anything...

Do not worry my love, I am here with you and will not let enythign happen to you. You have nothing to fear, don't be afraid. He says, in what he hoped was a soothing and ressusuring voice. I will protect you as you me. Nothing can go wrong with you by my side, nor when I am at yours. he says, his often crass manner dropping into a more genteel tone.

And seeing Maschera, not Abzienta when he looks at her.

OOC:

I don't really have any experience roleplaying charmed character. Any tips? Do I basically just believe everyting Abzienta tells me and I infatuated with her? How should I act if she takes me to the PCs?

Ta follows in the second row. Alert and his last potion ready in hand.

OOC:

A Charm effect changes the target's emotional state, but does not override logic or control. So, Abzienta is now a close friend. As long as she treats you like one, the charm continues and makes sense.

So, a good way to decide what you'd do, is imagine your significant other. If Abzienta asks you to do something, is it something you'd do if your significant other would ask you to do it? If so, then go ahead and do it. If not, respond as you would otherwise, such as with an argument or whatever.

As for whether you'll believe what she says, you don't have to lie to your eyes and see Maschera when you see Abzienta. If you prefer to think of Abzienta as Maschera alone, then maybe you believe that she's just got an illusion up and looks like Abzienta, but it's Maschera. Also, feel free to think that she looks like Maschera when she doesn't, but you aren't required to.

Alnar and Maschera descend the staircase, Maschera casting forth some green-glowing motes to light the way. The catacombs of the cathedral form a low-ceilinged chamber, and a group of orcs--Kazzag and three others--are busy trying to move the lid off one of the sarcophagi. Kazzag notes Alnar, dropping her corner suddenly, and storms over to Maschera.

"Hey! He's mine! You gave him to me!" she shouts.

Maschera simply plants a hand on Kazzag's chest. "And you left him behind, so I'm taking him back. And I'll hurt you if you touch my things."

Kazzag bellows angrily, but backs down and returns to the sarcophagus.

"Crude beings, but they listen to authority," Maschera explains. She takes Alnar over to another open sarcophagus. Inside, Alnar recognized his items, all bundled together, lying next to a number of lovely phials, cases, and a silver and amber necklace.

"Here you are, love, let me help you," Maschera coos, as she assists Alnar in reequpping.

OOC:

OK, thanks for the explanation

I never liked Orcs. Alnar whispers, slipping on his backpack, the last of his stuff. Your Abzienta disguise is very good, I could of not have done better. Alnar says, hoping to flatter her. You sure fooled them.

Any idea what those are? he whispers, pointing at the phials, cases, and the silver and amber necklace. Some part of their evil plot?

Nathan takes up a position in the middle, letting the more resilient party members take front and rear positions.

InVinoVeritas · Jan 18, 2011

OOC:

It looks like the order is Willow, Ta, Nathan, Markas for entering the cathedral. Nathan casts Mage Armor, Ta has his potion in hand. Does Willow do anything to prepare before entering?

[sblock=Alnar]
Maschera purrs. "You like my disguise? Remember that, darling, I can look like anyone you want. Anyone, anytime, anywhere."

She looks at the other assorted valuables in the sarcophagus. "The orcs, they like pretty things. A little different from your standard beast. Perhaps, when we don't have all of them running around, I'll show you what they've found."

A large, heavy creaking noise echoes through the room. The orcs stop their graverobbing and snap their heads up to look at Maschera. A sudden look of fear crosses Maschera's elfin features, followed by steady composure. "We have company," she calls to the orcs. "Go see who comes. Deal with them. I'll be here, you will hear me."

As the orcs charge up the stairs, Maschera turns to Alnar. "Could you please join them and protect me? You'll hear me, receive my blessing. The orcs won't dare bother you, now. I promise, I'll look after you. Just please, make sure we're safe."

With a wink, Maschera plants a quick peck on Alnar's cheek.

Of, of course I'll go, Alnar says blushing at the attention he was getting. Maybe she did like him after all. Don't worry, I won't let anyone hurt you. Leave it to me. He says, heading in the directions the orcs went.

You might want to get to a safe place, just in case. he shouts back. He then starts running in the direction of the noise. He was not sure who, or what, would want to hurt his beloved Maschera, but he would not let them get the chance nevertheless.

OOC:

I'm not sure if I am allowed to know this, but is it the party entering the temple?

Also, what should I do PVP combat wise, if it should come to it? Should I fight them?

Willow, HP: 16+1/16, AC: 19/12T/16FF, Saves: 4F/2R/7W, LL Vision, Scent
Boon, HP: 23+1/23, AC 17/13T/14FF, Saves: 4F/5R/2W, LL Vision, Scent

Willow's delicate facial features sharpen ever so slightly as her nose broadens to look more like that of a jungle cat and her eyes become vertically slitted, after she makes her customary symbol of strength over Boon and herself. She then growls something at the giant white kitten and his ears snap around to the druid speaking his language and licks her still lovely chin. She rests her free hand on the club at her belt as she takes a look around and pushes on the door with her shield.

OOC:

Excellent, let's get this party started.

Willow, Boon, Ta, Markas, and Nathan find the doors easily open, but with a sudden and unsatisfying CREAK. Inside, the cathedral lies in ruins.

The inside of the cathedral is strewn with debris.

The temple lies in ruins, but still maintains enough roof to enclose the space. Light filters through from outside, passing through multiple stained glass windows, covering the stone and broken wood with a kaleidoscope of color.

Willow smells orc, lots of orc, and an odd honeysuckle that seems somehow familiar...

Suddenly, emerging from the back of the temple, from a stairway leacing below, a number of orcs rush out, and following with them... Alnar!

One of the orcs, female, bellows, "Leave, weaklings! Leave, or feed us!" Her orcish companions snarl and draw falchions.

Behind the altar is an old, crumbling statue to Cortesia. A blue butterfly has been not so much painted as splattered across it, and from the statue, a beautiful, haunting melody begins to be sung...

The orcs scream and charge.

OOC:

Initiatives and first round actions, please

OOC:

I've checked about PvP, and in this case it's okay, if it comes to that. You are still in control of your actions. You also receive a +1 bonus to hit and weapon damage (claw damage too) and +1 morale bonus vs. fear while you are on Maschera's side.

As the haunting melody bounces off the walls and ceiling Markas notices Alnar in amongst the orcs.

"It's the wizard! Was working for them all along?" he cries questioningly, drawing his blade. As the song continues his words are drowned out by the pure voice of the singer. "Is that Maschera what have you done to her?"

He stands ready as the orcs attack his sword low, his shield high.
