[QUOTE="helium3, post: 4734857, member: 31301"] Like the little hafling, Petra is able to grit his teeth and maintain the connection to the increasingly heavy amulet around his neck. Encouraged by his old friend's efforts, Pieter attempts the fourth and final stanza for the third time. His attempt is nearly flawless, save for a halting mangling of the intricately woven phonemes of the last word. For a moment it looks like he will yet again fail to complete the ritual. Then, Jorje steps in, ready to do his part. Having seen the last quarter of the ritual performed three times now, he is quite confident that he knows what the last syllable should sound like. In concert with Pieter, and hoping that in some sense his correct pronunciation will override the hopelessly garbled sounds of the high priest of Erathis, he intones the final word of power. [sblock=OOC]Pieter rolled a 19 on his Arcane check and only needed a single successful aid to activate the fourth stanza. Since Jorje adds a +11 to his Arcana checks, he always succeeds at aiding. Thus, I knew that Pieter would finally get it right this time.[/sblock] His gambit works and the magic of the ritual is unleashed with a dizzying flash of purple light and the strong sensation of ants crawling across the inside of everyone's skulls. The amulet wearers feel a great weight pulling at their hearts and for a single fear-pitched moment all four participants wonder if the amulets will work as promised. That moment passes and though they feel as if on the butt end of a drinking binge, all continue to enjoy the benefits of strongly beating heart. As the flash of light fades, leaving only the guttering lamp in the corner as light source, everyone can plainly see that where an enormous tooth once lay, a delicate feather of gold is slowly fluttering into place. Petra lets out a long drawn out sigh of relief and Pieter let's loose with a quick cackle of mirth. Pieter looks at the dark illusionist, "[COLOR="Cyan"]Thank you very much, my young friend. I didn't think I was ever going to be able to manage that particular syllable. I'm sure you all have many questions, but it is very late and I am quite tired. I'm sure Petra feels the same way. Some of you undoubtedly do as well. Let us all return to our places of rest for the remainder of the evening. No doubt, Sheriff Korvus will want to speak to all of you in the morning.[/COLOR]" [sblock=OOC]That's the end of that encounter folks. Everyone gets 70 XP.
