House Millithor in COSQ: part 3

ooc: From Matron Alisanarra's memories, you recall that she created the negative energy effect on the altar upstairs. Unfortunately, it was not intended for sacrificing vampires; the negative energy effect would only slay the living.

The gaseous form of the Vampire Charir evaporates while the Matron is destroying Dorina's body. The Matron surmises that it was Charir's sarcophagus that Torellan was found in. That would explain why Charir followed her, since she had stolen his coffin and placed it in the portable hole.

Kripp is retrieved from the river. There is no sign of Narcelia Millithor or Laranen Morcane who she was grappling with, or the two drider vampires.

Day pass as the members of House Morcane and House Millithor consolidate their hold on Szith Morcane.

Eilos Millithor returns, with the news that he had become lost in the blizzard. He brought with him another of Solom's apprentices, Nobruzzal, who was bound and gagged.
"Solom said to tell you that he ordered Nobruzzal not to interfere, but Nobruzzal interfered anyway. Nobruzzal was responsible for the illusions in Dorina's quarters and for animating some of the undead in the Dodrien crypts. Appearently Nobruzzal thought he would be rewarded by Dorina."
 

In the great Cavern of Maerimydra.

The dark lake is a mixture of black and red. The Lake of Blood earned its name long before Kurgoth's followers unceremoniously dumped hundreds of drow bodies here.

The smell is foul.

Then a great head arises out of the lake.

The Dragon's head looks decidedly like a skull thanks to its deep-socketed eyes and wide, flat nasal opening. It has forward-curving horns and a spinal crest that peaks just behind the head and tapers off about three-quarters of the way down the neck. An acidic smell surrounds the dragon whose scales are mostly dull ebony and dark gray.

A ghostly figure materializes in front of the Dragon's unblinking eyes and its great jaws.

The ghostly figure of the former drow Archmage Duneth Wharreil speaks, "Malacarth, Have you made a decision?"

The great dragon's voice rumbles a reply,"The price is steep, even if there are no hidden dangers. What guarantees do you offer?"

...
 

When Torellan's transformation is assumed to be ready Ki'Willis opens her Portable Hole (flying outside the area of Forbiddance) and welcomes him back into the family. The coffin stays in the Hole.

The Matron smiles sarcastically at his excuse, "How very inconvenient for you. I appreciate your cooperation, and your masters neutrality." She beckons the prisoner and his keeper forwards. "(ooc: the PC who most enjoys torturing), assist me with the interrogation." She walks back to her new quarters in Dorina's and Alisannara's former rooms.

The Matron activates the Detect Lies ability of her Drift Disc and warns Nobryzzal to not resist the spell, lest he force her to conduct the interrogations with much more unpleasant methods. Then she asks him about his actions the last 24 hours, wether or not he interfered in her battle with the Tsarrans and exactly how he interfered. She also questions him about his loyalties to Solom, his religious affiliations and what he knows about his former master's and his family's (if he's not another Morcane, in which case she's much more specific) plans and ambitions. His impression of Solom, Eilos and the other inhabitants of the arcane enclave of Szith Morcane.

ooc: What items and goods did we find after looting Szith Morcane?

ooc: How bad does Ki'Willis look? Where is most of the damage located on her body? If she's not too far gone she'll spend most of her time refrigerated in the temple until Kripp can preserve what's left. Can the damage be regenerated or undone in any way, with any spell? Regenerate? Limited Wish?
 

Nobruzzal has a glassy eyed stare and speaks in a monotone voice, barely reacting to the presence of the Matron or the dangerous nature of the admissions he is making. He is obviiously under a domination effect from Dorina, but has no current orders forcing him to focus on doing anything.

Nobruzzal admits to casting the illusion, spying on the Matron in the Dodrien crypts through undead he had animated, and sending yellow mold skeletons into battle against the surface raiders. Nobruzzal claims he was working with Yrshalla (a missing, presumed slain daughter of House Morcane, a niece of the Matron) to raise the Skeleton army in the crypts.

Nobruzzal promises to be loyal to Solom, he claims to not understand why he ignored Solom's orders. On religion, he claims to be loyal to Lolth, even hiding his religious paraphelnia after Dorina ordered all items destroyed. His family was a commoner family in Maerimydra, presumed slain.

His impression of Solon: Wisest and Greatest Mage in the World. Eilos= third wisest and Greatest mage in the world.

(FYI: Torellan didn't rise from the dead until his coffin was removed from the portable hole. You are not sure, but you think the portable hole interferes wtih the Vampiric ability to regenerate while in a coffin.)
 

Kilcif: Bugbear/Male (Barbarian/Ranger/Rogue)

During the downtime Kilcif tries to keep mostly to himself but he does what’s of expected of him and does it without question.

When theirs is a quite time he speaks to Kripp when they are alone, “Goblin-big cursed and Goblin-big found many items.” He look around making sure there alone and then he slowly but methodically pulls out all the items, “Any of them good?” His keen eyes look for any possible signs of deception.
 

Torellan rises from his coffin.
"I feel alive! Well... actually, I don't, but you know what I mean."

One of the first things that Torellan will do after getting out of his coffin, is curse out aloud.
"Why did Velina have to be killed? I didn't yet have my way with her, and I was well on my way to doing it!
Then a thought strikes him.
"Can I even have my way with somebody anymore?
He will proceed to some place private to see if he is still physically able to have his way with women.

ooc: Lol! :D

The Matron watches her son in silence, pleased that he proved stronger than that pathetic worm Marcarius. He had changed, though, that was undenable. And it might take some time to reaffirm his loyalty.

The results of Dalamar's initial test are depressing, but inconclusive. Much angst ensues.
