Dead Legends

[Shayuri]

Omega peers at the manacles, and a small antenna pops out of a slot that opens just over its left eye. A buzzing noise ensues.

"Analyzing. Analyzing. No dweomer detected. Threat level negligible."

It allows itself to be cuffed reasoning that seeing the king after hostilities begin will not be possible short of a full scale assault, with a high probability he could escape.

 

[Nephtys]

"Much better," Shahaza smiles. "then I'm sure noone will offer any valid objections to me acting in self-defense."
She looks at Dizzy and smirks. "I'm very much looking forwards to your non-valid objections."

She readies herself for combat.

 

[Albedo]

Dizzy smiles at her demonic companion, "Oh you misunderstand me demon. I have no objections. This is merely a simple choice. You kill any of them, and I kill you."

 

[Nephtys]

"On the count of ten, nine, eight, seven... Will you wear those cuffs when you fight me?" She arches an eyebrow, smirking.

She had tried to be reasonable, even lowered herself to an attempt at finding common ground, and in return got nothing but unreasoning hatred and defiance. It wasn't really unexpected, being what she was and considering the nature of her enemy. Cursed by diabolic taint, driven to the brink of madness by internal conflict, with both human and diabolic instinct hungering for demon blood.
It would have been interesting to study the advancing ravages of the curse but now it seemed she had to end it. What a waste.


ooc: Albedo, do you want one of our characters to die at this stage of the game?

 

[Jemal]

Kayla shouts loudly, cutting off the guard captain and the squabbling demon/devil ladies. "THAT'S ENOUGH! Every one of you is so worried about proving yourself that you forget the bigger picture. We were DEAD, and now we are not. We have no idea Where we are or Why, and we were all put here together for a REASON. NOW, here is what is going to happen."
She turns to Shahaza "We are going with the guards."
She turns to the guard captain "We will go Peacefully and will NOT be shackled"
She turns around, adressing everyone "And the first person to commit violence will be declaring themselves an enemy of peace, and will be treated as my enemy."

While she speaks, she telepathically sends a message to Omega, detailing all she knows about Omega's past(OOC: Which is everything that was listed) and says "That is just a fraction of what i know of this world. If you back me up on this I will use my considerable power and knowledge to help you in your quest."

[sblock=ooc]
See OOC thread for my rant on not knowing what to do.
Also, Kayla has a readied action to cast Time Stop if anybody starts to commit violence.

Hanshu shrugs as he flies down to the pretty girl, giving a formal bow as he lifts the quiver from his back nonchalantly and hanging it on the slightly trembling shield of the nearest guard. "Apologies my lady, I am Hashu Mon'saru." He then glances to the guard fumbling with the quiver he was unprepared to receive. "I would not advise trying to draw... anything... from my quiver. It could prove...unpleasant to anyone with a heartbeat, but just carrying it... shouldn't... harm you young man. If you'd like to toss a pair of your lovely manacles to me, I can do it myself without any accidents happening."

He catches the crude metal cuffs, as he floats with the points of his cloak just an inch off the ground, securing them around his wrists with a wink to the lady, and the barest hint of a smirk touching the corners of his thin lips. He exaggerates pulling the chain tight toward the mouth piece without looking at him then simply crosses his hands over the cuffs as if they were nothing more than a strange piece of jewelry. "Do you think the king will have any answers to why we have been brought to this place? In my not inconsiderable experience, kings are not always the most well informed of beings, but they do have the most comfortable surroundings."

 

[Albedo]

Dizzy knew that this was a bad situation. Without knowing the demon's intent, she would not be able to prevent the deaths of the guards around them. She could avenge them, but such actions would hardly bring them back to life. It was obvious the demon wasn't interested in being reasonable, and the other 'legends' may become hostile to her if she took the first action.

They all knew something fishy was going on with the guards. That was her main insperation for wanting to go with them in the first palce. But it didn't look like she was going to get the time to investigate. Now it was time to work off of a guess. She moved closer to the Merilith as menacingly as she could.

"So demon, do you honestly believe that these insignificant bindings will hold me one second longer than I wish them to? If I want to fight, all I have to do is..."

She teleports, leaving the shackles behind, and reappears 10 ftbehind the leader of the guards. "THIS!" She attempts to snatch the scroll being carried by the man, and leans in close to him, whispering, "Do you really think that your men can stop me before I get to you? How about you try to be a little more accomodating?"

[sblock=OOC]
Use her Greater Dimension hopper to teleport 10ft next to the man as a swift action, attempt a disarm of his scroll at 10ft, hopefully outside of his attack of opportunity range, and move right next to him. I don't think an intimidate check will help, but even mindblanked creatures have a sense of self preservation. [/sblock]

 

[Nephtys]

She answers the singer's outburst "I have offered my cooperation on those exact terms. It was rejected."

She was about to give a scathing retort when the cursed one suddenly teleported away to assault the lawful property of the man she had been trying to protect. The man she was still protecting, though it was unlikely he would see it that way. But was it altruism, or a deliberate provocation? When he reacted with lethal force how would her tainted nature react, and how would she justify her reaction?

"And now another one has rejected your conditions." She muses telepathically to Kayla, "How will you resolve this without changing your preconceptions?"

 

[Jemal]

As Dizzy dissapears, Kayla takes a moment to relocate her, and by then is too late to stop the cursed lady's actions, and as she tries to figure out how to continue, the Demon Queen taunts her.
"Preconceptions.. You know, I DO have a spell that could prove who here is good or evil, and thus trustworthy.. Why didn't I think of that before?"
With that, she drops her preparations to freeze time, and refocuses her music into revealing the inner truth of everybody's nature. "Let your true faces show, unless you fear the truth in your soul!" and everybody (Except Omega) feels a hum of virtue emanating within them, seeking to draw out and enhance their inner beauty.

[sblock=ooc]
Cast Inner Beauty, using a Chaining charge from the Rod. It's a Transmutation spell with no subschools, I doubt anybody's immune to it (The only ways I know of are by the Shapechanger subtype, or immunity to magic). Of course, anybody who tries will be able to make the save with ease, my DC's are pitiful.. Although, that will just be all the more proof that they're not good people, b/c any good person would WANT to be affected.

Primary target(Will DC 30) is the guard captain. Secondary targets(Will DC 26) are Shahaza, Hanshu, Dizzy, and up to 17 guards(How many are there btw?).
Failed will save: Effects are based on Targets alignment.
If Evil, they become twisted and deformed, taking a -4 penalty to Dex & Charisma. Also, all in 15' who see the transformation must make a fort save or be nauseated for 1d4 rounds.
If Good, they grow radiant and graceful, gaining a +4 sacred bonus to Dex & Charisma. Also, all in 15' who see the transformation must make a fort save or be Stunned for 1 round.
If Neither good nor evil, or if they make the save, nothing happens.
The Transformation and Dex/Charisma modifier last for 5 hours.

The effects are quite obvious, so it's the best form of alignment detection I have, considering everybody's immune to divinations and mind reading. [/sblock]

Nothing seems to happen to Hanshu as the woman casts her spell. The spectacles of the vampire flash ever so briefly as he takes a look around at all present. "I don't think either of them are evil per say, just a bit on edge given their situation. The average merilith relishes a good rampage more than a little, and they usually aren't big on threats so much as hack-n-slash. So the fact that she is speaking at all instead of just wading in these enthralled guardsmen shows at least a bit of self control."
Hanshu gestures toward the captain with both hands as he turns to float next to Kayla. "And you barking orders at being capable of destroying this entire hamlet without breaking a sweat, isn't helping the situation."

[sblock=OOC]Activating lenses of revelation, which shrouds everyone in sight in a glowing aura that only Hanshu can see:
Red - Evil Outsiders
White - Undead
Green - Everyone Else[/sblock]
