Heroes, Inc. Day 3+, Voyage to Sarkon

Alethia blinks as she comes around, head pounding. "The swords are somewhere in or around the mountain in the center of the island. Guys, we'd best be careful, I think I probably hit a security system." She looked rueful. "Or the sword didn't much care for me using it as a spell-focus."

(Looks like some people are still away, but I'll stir the pot anyway. I'd kind of like you guys to finally know what you're up against after like 6 months and get back to Waterdeep where the action is. That's why I'm trying to speed along the Sarkon part the best I can.)

You ugys did not specify how you got to the bodies to examine them, so I will assume you had Maggie cast Overland Flight.

You see a small ball of fire streak into the air from near the large temple. From the mountain, it is possible to see considerable movement and flashes of light, and smoke from a few small fires begins to breach the canopy. It is impossible to see more detail from above the trees.
 


Alethia looked at what appeared to be a battle with grim consternation. "Damn those Sharar cultists. Looks like they got here before us," she snarled to herself.

Most likely, The voice whispered in her mind, sounding right apologetic.

With that, Alethia blinked as she got a rather detailed image of the witch crumpling to the ground, a rather shocked look on her face, and her other captors, likewise falling to the ground quite unconscious. She felt a surge of alien self-satisfaction as the vial clattered to the floor, cracking and spilling the fluid, poison probably, onto the ground.

I would not count on it, The voice whispered in her mind, sounding just as grim as she did.

With that, Alethia blinked as an image of the lead sharar witch bouncing against the cave wall, as if propelled by some unseen force. She could still hear the sickening thud.

(The demon would not have said that. He knows he did not kill them. It would have been a long and difficult fight and he could not risk your body taking much more damage.)

(Oh, and an apology to Hyp and Gorak for not really giving them much in the way of personal arcs. Their characters were Waterdeep-based, and most of the campaign will be, but this side-trek is simply suboptimal for them.)

Oops. You're right, he wouldn't kill them. Redemption thing... Hmmm. I'll edit something more appropriate. I figured a sleep spell or even a command type spell to go to sleep for a day or more would be something he could do quite easily.

Oh, if he does take her over again, it'd be good idea to email me with a brief idea of what he did, so I can have her (and him) react to it appropriately or you can give me the heads up to wait and let you take care of that part. Either way is ok with me. :] :p
