EXEXCRUCIATION - a Noblilis PbP

[Lichtenhart]

"They have been deceived, and in a tragic way. They believe the excrucians are angels and that we are some twisted reflection of what we really are. I feel sad for them. They're going to be hurt, and I hope this won't destroy them."
Simon looks down.
"I'm sorry I brought you right into their trap. I don't know who this 'pastor' or this 'hooded man' are - maybe the one that fled in Degg? - but they obviously know more about us than we know about them. And this is not good. Those 'stones of freedom' are dangerous for us, especially if they're right and we cannot locate them. At least they cannot cut us from the inherent magic of Derr'Degg. I suggest us all to practice it, should the need arise.
I wonder if our predecessors left any info, or instructions for us, in our castles. There is something locked away in mine, and I wonder if it's related with this.
David, do you know where the othere roads to and from our Chancel lie? I wonder if there are someone else waiting for us there."

Afterwards, a Lesser Divination to know where the other roads are, what the terrain around them is like, and what people might be around them... basically, is there anything else I should know about.

David nods in agreement. "Maybe the Elatic also has information."

The Barbarians have a village deep in the swamp. they are about 200 people, plus some you cannot sense. You find you that they call their leader the Pastor. You can not sense him. The words tattooed on their skin are from an old Book they keep as their highest relic. These people were living at the North American coast when the chancel was created. Since only a few of them seem to carry stones, you should be able to use your full powers against most of them and/or the village.

The four known paths to/from the chancel are all located in the outlying areas beyond the land of Degg, in the wastelands included in the chancel description. Incidentially, in all wastelands are some sort of hostile tribes, "barbarians". Seems some did not take well being included in the chancel. Now, with you scanning a wide overview of the chancel you notice that the different lands seem to have different "sources"/"essenceses". As if the chancle was patched together from different parts.
There is a fifth path behind a gate, but you sense only that you should your brothers celestis about it ... Tis porotection is not from stones of freedom. They feel like black holes in your metaphysical senses, but this is more traditional. Realm or the Realms Magic. With a strong enough miracle you should be even able to break through.

That is all I can think of at the moment. But feel free to ask further questions.

"I'll have a look and see what I can find..."

With that, Michael's form blurs and compresses down to that of a crow and he takes to the air, scouting out the surrounding area.

Am I right to take this that you look for the village? Or roads and all?

There is a fifth path behind a gate, but you sense only that you should your brothers celestis about it ...

OOC: Are you missing a verb here? "... that you should tell your brothers celestis..." or "... that you should not tell your bro..." or what?

Also, I'm assuming we're all in the boat? I think when Shadows gets un-birded, we can be arriving

David portrays all of his newfound information to his companions, "... These people carry stones that seem to block our powers... all of the paths have some sort of hostile tribe, so this might be common..."

Whatever I can see

OOC: Are you missing a verb here? "... that you should tell your brothers celestis..." or "... that you should not tell your bro..." or what?

Ups you are right, but the verb is ask.

Also, I'm assuming we're all in the boat? I think when Shadows gets un-birded, we can be arriving

Fine with me, I'll think of what Shadow will see until this evening.

 

[Jdvn1]

After David goes through his information, give pauses. "You know, there's a fifth path, behind a gate, but it's blocked from me. I could try to penetrate its protection, but might anyone know about this?"

Around the waterway you are cuurently following you see the bog streching for
several miles. There are lots of blackend and bare trees standing around, but the
birches are green. There is also lots of bushes and high grass. Despite this
being not a tropical swamp, the are alligators along the waterways crisscrossing
the bog. There are some crows flying around, and in the distance game animals
can be seen. Areas of fog drift around.

Further east you can see the Barbarians searching. Apparently they have completly
lost track of you. Despite speeding to the waterway where chivalry created a boat,
you did not leave much tracks. Beyond the bog eastward is a indistinct greyness
and in the distance a flaming blue wall.

To the west, maybe a bit more than 20 miles away, the is a land of green hills.
To the noth and south, the swamp streches to beyond your viewing range. <IMO,
even if you fly really high and the chancel is flat, there is a ceratin limit to
viewing distance. 20 miles is me being nice and the contrast of landscape.>

Unfortunatly, neither Keys nor Shadows does not (yet) know what you are taling about.
