[QUOTE="Nephtys, post: 3536699, member: 31780"] ooc: is it ok if I rp the cohort? Miranel gasps in pretended horror and hugs the father of her flesh, clutching him hard while trembling, "[COLOR=Silver]No, no... I felt something, but I had hoped... Oh, father, do you realise what this means? This is how the world ends. The war of the Powers will come again and this time there will be nobody who can stop them. They will break this world, and the breaking will begin here. We must flee, father."[/COLOR] She looks deep into his eyes, pleading with him, then raises her voice so it can be heard by everyone in the room.[COLOR=Silver]"We must all flee, or the Gods will destroy us all!"[/COLOR] Inwardly she laughs at the father's expression, while at the same time looking critically at the reactions of the crowd. They were all in a state of pure emotion, excitement bordering on panic, and in that state people were easy to manipulate. If Ijazim had tought her one thing it was that those who loved the gods the most were also those who most feared them. The primary characteristic of the gods were not their love for mankind, but their love for their own power and their need to be worshiped. And gods, ruled by power not love, were always a thing to fear. Gallador was a warrior-god, and that kind of god usually arranged its world view in a military hiererchy, demanding obedience and threatening violence. Perhaps if she found the right strings to pull she could start a panic. Though it would accomplish little in the greater scheme of things at least it could be amusing and allow her to drop her current, increasingly inconvenient, flesh. ooc: Bluff (Cha):....................27 (15+12) Diplomacy: 12 ---- Ijazim ponders his options, touching pearl after pearl. It was tempting beginning a war with Gallador and he knew exactly how to strike the first and desicive blows, but his marked allies were unlikely to approve and he needed to regain their cooperation to have a chance at striking against his more immediate foes. The Disciple was dead, though likely already restored for Gallador's service. And that was more of an inconvenience and a threat than it was a victory. The Seven, well Six now he supposed, were weakened no more than Gallador was strengthened and now they were all alerted to his and his associates precense. Though Gallador could attack, and likely kill, him at any time it was not certain that he would. No, Gallador would likely consider the Six a greater threat and as long as Ijazim was focused against them Gallador would likely allow him to live. The Six, on the other hand, were much more likely to drop by for a fight, and if the Disciple was not exceptional for their kind he couldn't possibly defeat them all by himself. He knew where they were, some of them more specifically than others, but the longer he waited the further they would get and the harder they would be to find. One location seemed particularly promising, but he was not strong enough to go there alone, and though time was precious spells and allies were more so. Finally having regained most of his spells he casts Discern Location to find Xis, focuses his mirror to that location and steps trough. If he can't fins Xis he uses the mirror to search for the Dizzy Sheep inn, opening the portal outside and steps trough. ooc: Spells regained by Pearls of Power: All spells of 8th level and lower, except for one of the Destructions.
