[Epic] Scions of the Endless Falls

[Isida Kep'Tukari]

*Out of the glow comes a curious figure. It appears to be a golden elephant no more than two feet high, with large dragonfly wings carrying it aloft. It lands in front of the pool and looks at you with large, say eyes of a brilliant violet.*

"Woe be to you who seeks the Sheltering Cave, for here lies his body, his blood, and what remains of his power. I am one of His last disciples, and will continue to carry out His will. What do you wish of Him," the elephant asks. Caria recognizes the creature as nothing less than a hollyphant.

[OOC - Yup, this is one biiiiig cave.]

*Pilmer watches the others enter with disgust, and then looks out over the gray waste. Realizing that he could simply shift himself out of here whilst the others muck about in a cave, he does so, his own plans for revenge bubbling in his mind.*

*Su'ryuu wakes to find herself floating in a formless gray world, her whole kingdom and world obliterated in front of her eyes. Off in the distance she sees a speck of green, and finds a tiny scrap of a world, with pieces of all sorts of terrain stuck together. She can see a great light coming from a cave near the little mountain, and there in the center, a woman and a tiger laying by a pool.*

 

[Wrahn]

Rahveon speaks softly, "Disciple, if there is anyway to ease Devom's passage or to prevent it, please tell us so we might do so. His sacrifice has given us a chance to restore our world, his name shall not be forgotten."

"We seek your council so that his sacrifice will not be in vain. We need to know who did this to him and our world and if there is a way you know of to restore it."

"We seek your council so that his sacrifice will not be in vain. We need to know who did this to him and our world and if there is a way you know of to restore it."

The dryad motions with her hand and the huge steps back behind her. She then steps a few steps behind and to the right of Rahveon, showing her support. A united front would serve us best. Rahveon's words were well chosen. There is no need to prompt the hollyphant to second guess our intentions. She nods her agreement to Rahveon's statement, preferring to let one proboscidian deal with another.

 

[Kelleris]

I see I'm in the presence of someone who prefers a hammer when a light touch would do, thinks Arion as he blinks at the overwhelming light conjured by Caira. As he is momentarily dazed, he walks over to Rahveon, feigning temporary confusion.

Once he is close enough, Arion briefly brings up his aura of silence, passing a message to Rahveon in a conversational voice, speaking very quickly and with his back to the Hollyphant.

(OOC: *Zone of silence prevents anything I say from being heard more than 5 feet away. I can raise and lower it as a free action due to the Permanent Emanation feat, so I bring it up just long enough to say my piece, and then drop it. Oh, and a Bluff check to seem inconspicuous while I do this: 93*)

(OOC: Did a little independent research. Bardic knowledge to give some good advice: 49. Just call the poem bit a place-holder for now, if it's no good.)

Su'ryuu, Half red dragon Wilder

Su'ryuu wakes with a start and a deep breath, looking around vapidly to determine her location.Where am I? Is this some sort of afterlife? How apporpriate... Spotting the green orb, her curiosity grows, and with it, the size of the orb. What manner of... Eventually, she finds her will drives her forward, and she shortly lands on the orb. Someone is going to have to pay for this... Cleaning herself of the remaining protomatter, she straightens out the kinks in her back.

Who is this? Su'ryuu approaches the female by the pool with her great cat companion. With an air of anger in her voice, "What matter of place is this, what happened to my kingdom, and who are you?"

 

[perivas]

The dryad rolls her eyes at the not-so-subtle movements of the bard. I will be very surprised if this hollyphant doesn't just try to smite us now.

OOC: I am fairly sure that a bluff roll is not what's called for. Either one needs a Still spell or spell-like ability or innuendo or something.

 

[Kelleris]

(OOC: Why, considering that I'm not casting a spell? And Innuendo is part of Bluff. No, I'm pretty sure that that was subtle enough, and involved the right rolls. And besides, all I did was take a step or two toward Wrahn, look down or away from the hollyphant for a moment, and hyphenate a lot.)

Rahveon speaks softly, "Disciple, if there is anyway to ease Devom's passage or to prevent it, please tell us so we might do so. His sacrifice has given us a chance to restore our world, his name shall not be forgotten."

"We seek your council so that his sacrifice will not be in vain. We need to know who did this to him and our world and if there is a way you know of to restore it."

"The sacrifice of Devom cannot be eased, for the death of a world is not easily appeased. Yet that his name will carry on, a boon will be given, a cloak of knowledge to don.

"The greatest of gods regarded your power with fear, god of power, god of death, god of life, they drew near. Long in council they debated you fate, and none of the smaller gods their wrath could abate.

"With a great rush of power they unraveled your world, scattering the threads wide so that they could never fully be unfurled. To restore the shelter of the Endless Falls, you must reweave the threads with the power of the gods!"

 

[Wrahn]

Rahveon listens to Arions words and mentally sighs, I am no poet, ah well, let us hope he is not a critic either.

"In your council we will wisely heed
Given hope by Devom's deed

Life, Death and Power now need worry
Their Acts unforgiven, they will taste our fury.

But still a question remains in my mind
Where a gods power that we must find?

Is there an ally whose power to weave
will bring back our would without need to reave

Or must we take it from Death or from Life
Or steal it from Power with terrible strife"

The dryad squirms with delight at the performances of the rhyming elephants. She instinctively applauds Rahveon's efforts and only ceases a moment later, when it becomes obvious that it was inappropriate.
