No Man's Land (IC)

[moritheil]

Ichiru checks the gem inside his cloak to ensure that the Anticipate Teleport effect is properly in place. Close observation will reveal that he does not carry the daggers he normally keeps sheathed under his cloak.

On the roof, Asobika ensures that no one is watching, and memorizes the faces of anyone who took an interest in the three birds entering through an open window. Maintaining invisibility, she slips in through the window. Ichiru, the two bears, and the hound stand guard inside the room. Once the premises are secured, she carefully prepares a diagram and calls forth a Zelekhut, reasoning that Aelim is fleeing justice and consequently the inevitable is naturally inclined to punish him. "In this matter, our interests are aligned," she explains, detailing the situation as best she can before asking it to aid her. "I ask only that you fulfil your purpose and work beside us to bring Aelim to justice, for in doing so you aid us. From another point of view, it could be said that we are in fact offering our help so that you may fulfil your function."

OOC:
SR check (1d20+16=26)
Cha check (1d20+8=16) which should get a bonus per the spell's description, since this task perfectly matches the creature's nature.

[sblock=DM]Again, Ichiru is actually one of the bears; the Ichiru that everyone sees is his body double. The two are telepathically linked.[/sblock]

The moment Grift feels the ability to move his toes he lifts into the air and turns invisible rushing toward the ever angry Whin. In flight Grift drew his short sword and drew into a good position waiting for the choker to strike preparing to strike the foul creature when it moves into attack the others.

(ooc turn invisible (free action) fly over to the others drawing my short sword as part of the move action. Holding my attack till the thing comes out. Unless it can see through greater invisibility then I get my sneak attack on it (greater truedeath crystal on the short sword), one attack on it http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1044709 missing with my natural 1(good thing no one saw that))

OOC: in light of your words Darimaus I'll change Meekors actions.. but not his move I'll keep the same move and if the choker comes after me I'll make a Concentration check to cast defensively.... I'll try the heal spell once more with a range of 30 feet which I'm now well within.... if the choker makes another move out of the AMF I'll use my held attack action to blast him with a heal... hopefully this time it will effect him heh... I'll try this once more with this Caster check (1d20+24=40).. again DC 26 will save for half damage (75 damage)

Last Bit of Prep

Once the Zelekhut accepts or denies the offer, Ichiru first goes to closely examine the nearby appointed room, again ensuring that the group is not seen by others. He then seeks out Therin, letting the powerful dwarf know that his preparations are mostly complete. Finally, he attempts to figure out how to contact the lady.

"I have some allies on hand in case it gets rough. However, I have not yet decided if I should meet with my benefactor alone, or if you should all be visibly present. It may be disrespectful if I do not at least give the appearance of being alone," he explains. "As the hour approaches, I will perform a divination to see which course of action is wisest. Should it indicate that a lone meeting be wiser, you can wait in an adjacent room and charge in if anything goes wrong."

One hour before the appointed meeting time, Ichiru casts Omen of Peril to see if he will be in mortal danger within the next hour. If so, he summons a Phantom Stag as well, ordering the incorporeal guardian to wait below the floor of the room. Asobika casts Greater Alarm (mental only) near the entryway to the room and near the end of the room farthest from the door.

[sblock=DM]The Ichiru double is the one casting Omen of Peril.

Half an hour before, the real Ichiru casts augury to determine if having others on hand when meeting with the High Priestess will bring about weal or woe.

Checking out the room involves taking 20 on Search; if he can get a bonus from bringing others with him, he'll bring them. Please let me know if I need to make rolls.[/sblock]

Obsidian & Granite

“Victory, easier will it be for our enemy to obtain while its opposition swims in chaos.” Stats Obsidian, “Right now, certain defeat or certain victory is the only choice one has to make.” There is a slight pause before he speaks again. “Choose you must, before I depart.”

OOC: Assuming he agrees, he will walk over to the arcane construct makers for repairs. After that he and the dragon will journey over to battle fields of the Barbarian Nomads first. There they will help in whatever way they can in attempts to foster some kind of relationship.

 

[Darimaus]

OOC: Sorry for the lack of posts guys, I've been incredibly busy these past few days. I'll have an update when I get off work tonight.

moritheil - OOC: Are you finished your preperations or is there more you want to do?


"While I may be unable to extend the hand of friendship to my neighbors, I'm sure you would go a long way to being able to forge an alliance with all those threatened by our dark adversary. Would you be willing to gather them up under your own banner for the sake of this island? I will do all that I can to assist you."

The Devil moves his hand in a wide arc, surveying his volcanic lair for Obsidian.

"If you assist, all i own will be at your disposal."


The Choker moves out of the field once again, but is beset by the three warriors, and its resistant nature gives out as Meekor slams it with another heal that goes through and turns the undead to dust.


The robed man pauses but doesn't say anything as the group approached him. As Sylvie begins an introduction however, a dark brooding voice escapes the robe.

" We know who you are. The letter is unneccessary. He sent word of your coming long before you arrived. Welcome to our guildhall. May I be of service? "

OOC: The result of the spot checks show that there is indeed nothing here but an old church.


Nephtys: OOC: I have slightly more map building to do before I can post the continuation on your story. Please bare with me.

Lowryllyth's servant steps forward, poised, "I am certain that our group and your guild will prove to be of great value to each other. For now, we are primarily in need of information. Anything you could tell us about the disciples of Uedo and the politics of the land would be most helpful."

moritheil - OOC: Are you finished your preperations or is there more you want to do?

OOC: Sorry, I should have noted that I'm done. I've sort of assumed that the Zelekhut isn't causing too big of a fuss (regardless of whether it accepts or rejects the offer, since it does not have enough SR to break free) and that nobody suddenly shows up to interrupt the group.

I trust that the either/or setups are clear? Ichiru will try to keep allies outside of the room (but nearby) if divinations indicate it's prudent to do so.

Obsidian & Granite

“Raise will I, this Banner of War if my Lord so desires and grateful for your assistance I am. Hold you must until my return with allies and certain victory.” Requests the dark adamantine berserker.

OOC: If there is no more exchange in dialog, then Obsidian will proceed as noted above. Though I did not think he would be the type to amass an army. That is more of Whim’s field.
