Eschton [mature] IC - Calling Arabesu

[Shayuri]

"What madness is this?!" one of the unicorns bellows in Common with a silvery-voiced neigh. "What is this place?!"

Sigil's voice rings out from above the unicorns.

"Take this woman's measure, my friends! Tell us if she is fair or foul within!"

The two snort and paw the 'ground.'

"As you say, queen...but I like this not! There is a foul stench in the air, and strange magics afoot!"

A pair of azure-tinted ivory horns point at the girl and glow with strong white light as the unicorns focus their perceptions on her and attempt to sense the taint of evil.

Sigil says to Karnak, though still invisible, "Stay close to the unicorns. Their purity will purge any unnatural influence, and learn the truth of her intentions."

(having them Detect Evil)

 

[Voidrazor]

"Evil abides here my queen, in moments we shall know its numbers and source." The unicorns shift in place with unease, eyes rolling wildly at the unnatural surroundings.

Melanoce, far away in her comfortable office on Otaijan 5, sighs. She had hoped it would not have to come to this, but it had to be done and at least the trolls would not take any permanent injuries.
"Stand aside," she commands the trolls guarding the bombs. "You sense of duty is a mark of honour, but here that sense is displaced. Blind obedience to a commander who is no longer in command of himself is only disloyal to his true intentions.
We are facing an enemy with unknown but awesome capabilities, a community of beings from beyong our reality, irredemably evil and intent on our destruction. Your greater duty, to yourself, your loved ones, all of Eschaton, and even your Lord Karnak himself, demands that you cooperate with me and allow me to defeat our common foe. Your leader will thank you for it once he regains his senses."

Diplomacy d20+90, against two trolls.

 

[Voidrazor]

The two trolls that had been obstructing the removal of the bombs, look at each other with thick, warty brows furrowed. A few moments later they shrug and open the storage vault doors. "We take to bridge?"

 

[Nephtys]

The Mecha nods its head. "You're doing the right thing."

ooc: If the ship us within range of the enemy they'll take a couple of bombs to the torpedo-rooms as well where they can be launched conventionally.

 

[Voidrazor]

OOC: just an update to clarify initiative order. Although I now have Karnak and the ooze creature at the bottom of the order, they have both taken ready and/or delay actions and may interrupt as normal.

Bumping early since the subscription function seems to be down.

 

[Shayuri]

(sorry, I thought I posted to the OOC thread... I'm waiting to see what Serra does and what the unicorns report before committing to an action. )

 

[Avalon®]

So, is this still on?

 

[Voidrazor]

I'll restart after the holidays. I'm hoping to recruit a few more people.
