Heroes, Inc. Day 3+, Voyage to Sarkon

Dyria angrily stretched her whip. "Good," she said, as Crimson revealed that she could locate Alethia. "Whoever took her is going to pay. I have agreed that I'm not going to use torture, so I'll settle for just killing them." Not to mention that being killed by a whip-dagger, especially an electrified one, is not a praticularly pleasant way to die, Dyria thought to herself.

Would the demon protest drinking or even manifest to prevent it. His secret is out and he will want to save both her, Maggie and himself.

She takes the vial and looks at it curiously. "What is it? What will it do? I don't understand. There is no demon..."[/sblock]

[sblock]
"Oh yes there is. You've denied it long enough. Now drink it, and save your soul."

In her rather suggestable state, she starts to raise the vial, but suddenly, the rage within her that she has often felt rises within her. She feels a burning sensation throughout her body, then she remembers nothing more...

until...(the other folks need to move up in time about an hour before we can continue)

The correspond spell doesnt seem to fail, but Alethia doesnt seem to be answering. Considering the blow you saw her take, she very well may still be out.

"The Correspond worked, but she's most likely unconscious," Crimson replied.


OOC: Correspond is a mental communication. Is consciousness required to communicate with something like that? I didn't think so but I'm probably wrong.

OOC: While Crimson's taking ten minutes to manifest Correspond, Fin will do some Detect Magic scanning of the battlefield, and some checking to see if any of the dead pirates show evidence of being Persons of Rank - officers or whatever. Also check the tree feather-lady was hiding in - looking for anything she or her companions may have dropped. /OOC

"The Correspond worked, but she's most likely unconscious," Crimson replied.

Fin nods.

"Remote Viewing might be the only way, then," he replies. "We've already lost ten minutes - no way we'll catch Riana and her friend short of the ship now. We've got a decision to make - make an assault on the ship, or hunt for these featherfolk. Or leave Crimson somewhere safe to try scrying, while the rest of us go for the ship. Thoughts?"

You really cant tell which pirates were more important than the others. They all have a number of minor magical items that will take quite a while to collect and catalog. There is no additional evidence in the tree.

"I don't see how we have a choice at all," Dyria stated. "We have to find Alethia and rescue her."

"I don't see how we have a choice at all," Dyria stated. "We have to find Alethia and rescue her."

"We've an entire island to cover - maybe more, if they've moved since the snatch. Is it worth spending the hour, while Crimson tries to zero in, combing the island ourselves? Should we wait on Crimson's findings? Or shall we make an effort to free the hundreds of enslaved islanders while we wait?"

 

[kirinke]

ooc:
If Alethia had a say in the matter, she'd tell you to go free the islanders. I think that the others know her well enough to figure that out.
