"How big is this thing <meaning the barrier>?" Timrin says incredulously. Seeing the sheepish look on Maggie's face he softens his tone.
"If we can't out here we might as well press forward. Stay alert people this could get real ugly. Murdock, anyone of those three tunnels look better to you?"
OCC: He is wondering if Murdock gets a vibe on any of the tunnels with his dark foresight.

Naverone reaches out with his mind, probing the barrier. He senses strong fey magic, as well as a hint of the Master of nature himself, whose aura (when not disguised) is so powerful that it can be detected from very far away. He tells Alethia
"I have an idea. But I cannot do this without your permission. I think I can penetrate the barrier, but not long enough or strong enough to hold it open for another. We must break through ourselves. I can take the banesword in. It can attune to me, rather than you, and thus will not conflict with the other banesword. This all will require that i manefest more fully than ever before, and use a great deal of power. I think we can defeat him, but it is likely that neither of us will survive. I have done so many great evils. I am uncertain that anything can ever redeem me, but I must try. I must continue to do good. But I will not let you suffer needlessly for my quest. Think carefully about this. Are you wiling to risk it all?"
Alethia considers the request and smiles grimly as she grabs a small piece of paper and writes a brief note on it.
This was my choice. She laid the scrap of paper on the pillow of her cot.
"We both knew that there was little chance of either of us surviving this quest Naverone," Alethia said as she stood and briefly prayed that this would work. "The only thing that was certain was doing our best to save as many lives as we could."
"Let's show our enemies how misguided they are, shall we?" she asked dryly, dismissing the likelyhood of death out of hand. If she died, so be it. She would die well, defending the innocent from those who would take it all away.
And once more she began to glow with the bright, silvery light that rivaled that of the full moon.

Matt, if you have other ideas on what Alethia could be/earn in place of sainthood etc.... I'm willing to work with it, if you are uncomfortable with allowing that template into the mix. My email is Aenilan@aol.com

Table Talk to Kirinke:
[sblock]Play it normally. Depending on your actions, you will be rewarded[/sblock]
Naverone manefests, causing Alethia to glow brighter than ever before. Fin's staff appears in front of him, and he grabs it. The energy form the staff arcs into them, and he absorbs the item entirely, causing it to turn into runed tattoo's like Shando's. He teleport's to Geberath's manor, on the bottom floor. Alethia becomes aware that the protected area is beneath the manor. A few soldiers see them, and Naverone blows them up with seemingly minimal effort. He then kneels down and punches the ground, creating a shockwave that severely-damages the house and creates a fissure. He flies into the fissures, and punches into a barrier below. The wall of red energy resists, but slowly and painfully, Naverone gains the upper hand, inching through.
Meanwhile, Murdoch does not get a vibe from the tunnels. However, a number of fireballs (not the spell, a hurled ball of fire that can hit a single target) streak from around a corner in one direction, followed by fewer from the other. Your invisibility, resistance, and other defensive abilities ensure that these do no harm, and it seems that those attacking you cannot see you and are trying to just guess. Then instead of a fireball, a piece of a crystal streaks towards Sarah, striking her in the stomach and exploding. She falls. Whoever threw that probably CAN see you.
Just then, Naverone/Alethia crashes through the ceiling. To the rest of you, all you know is that there was an explosion in the direction that that crystal came. Naverone announces his presense quickly enough, however, alerting everyone that Geberath is that way.
Alethia and Naverone hover in a cavern, in which they see Geberath, Khalid, and a number of Tiger Clan warriors. At the end of the cavern is what appears to be the center of the fey nexus, where the crystals for a tiger skull like the one in Geberath's logo. Within the outh is a flaming crystal tiger skull.
Kirinke: You may control Naverone/Alethia.

We're talking abilities similar to that of a balor, only sanctified right?

Alethia/Naverone looked around, taking quick stock of the situation. They quickly noted the strange skull like formation and it didn't take a sorcerous genius to figure out that the particular formation in question is probably the corruption's focus.
Typical. Naverone/Alethia scowled and snarled telepathically to Timrin and Maggie. The skull formation. I'm thinking that it's the corruption's focus. Or a trap. Be careful, but destroy it.
They then looked at what was Geberath and Khalid. "We once told you that you serve a bad master, Khalid." they shouted, their voice echoing off the cavern, causing the lesser creatures allying with the enemy to cringe in fear. A fiend's voice is terrible when aroused and their presence is worse. And both Naverone and Alethia are right irritable.
"And you will learn too late what that service leads to!" and they disappear, only to reappear behind Geberath, the rune-like weapon elogating into a wickedly curved scimitar, which they plunge into the demon-possessed man.
Alethia/Naverone are enveloped in white hot flames, reminescent of the terrible flames that sheath a balor and it's hard to look at them directly as they are glowing with the even brighter light of the Holy radiance itself. Sprouting from the priestess' back are a pair of horrible, translucent, bat-like wings which shimmer, changing to the beautiful, feathery wings of a solar. Still flaming, the wings envelope the demon Geberath, who screams as the white fire scorches and burns.

As they are busy skewering the demonic creature, Alethia smiles as she feels the demonic essence within her shifting and changing in that one wholly selfless act they have both freely chosen to do together, for as the spell that joined them in spirit, so do the actions they both commit reflect on each other. Shared pain, shared joy, shared sin and virtue.
Alethia's voice rings out in celestial, calling upon the holy light of heaven to cleanse the fey nexus of the horrid evil that has corrupted it. Then in Sylvan, she calls out to the captive, controlled spirits. "Fight it my fey friends, fight it! You serve no master but your own, do not bow down to evil's seductive voice!"
In response, the flames around them brighten to a searingly bright intensity and inch outward, licking at the feet of the surrounding enemy, causing them to catch fire, to burn....
The tiger clan crystal formation begins to shift and crack as a frightening rumble seems to answer her call. Around them disturbing pinpoints of light begin to flicker, to shimmer into existance, thousands upon thousands of them that you can't quite see directly....
The holy radiance seems to bounce and absorb into the red crystals, to fight the black energy it holds. But that appears to be a stalemate, neither side gaining much ground.
Naverone scowls, knowing that they will not have the strength to fight Khalid and decides to draw on an ability that he has never dared try since becoming joined with Alethia. The ability to summon other demons, but which he prays has been sanctified enough to call celestials instead.
He calls on the chief angel who passed judgement and sentenced him to the sanctification ritual.
"Rathanael, save my companions, please.... Even if we die, make sure that they live, help them defeat Khalid and the twice damned I beg of you!" he called out in true humility and anguish, not wanting them to share the fate of Perigeron or the others the twice damned have most assuredly taken.
