No Man's Land (IC)

"That was meant for the Disciple?" Thorn asks curiously. She rubs her chin, desperately trying not to burst into laughter. "Not bad. It's a good thing there wasn't chained Implosions or Meteor swarms in the offing, or we might be peeling some allies off the floor right now. Er...can you stop it?"

Munthrek and Tekumo both reel in horror as Jareel and Lowryllyth set off the trap. Tekumo swears heavily in Draconic and readies himself to return to his own form if need be, and Munthrek draws his sword and sheild, both then racing over to the church doors.
 

Jareel Arinthis, Monk 20, Hp: 201/201

After quickly glancing over the insides of the church, Jareel steps back outside, through the roiling wisps which comprise the remainder of the cloudkill, and back to the others. He dusts his robe off, sizes the villager (who is the paladin) up, and says:

"Ho there, Paladin, I apologize for setting off your well intentioned trap for the disciple,"Jareel says, then shrugs sheepishly,"One thing intrigues me, inside the church, there is a woman in a cage suspended above the floor -- is this woman the bait, or part of the trap?"

"Any other information you may have that could point us towards this disciple, possibly a location to a lair, or hideout, or even the last known location, would be most good."
 

Furious at her companions failure to follow her to the tower, Lowryllyth doesn't notice Jareel flinging the guarded doors open until its too late. She finds herself trapped within the sphere of force and rooted in place. She coughs on the deadly yellow-green gas, but resists the worst of its effects. Holding on to the last of her good air, she says nothing. Lowryllyth's eyes look to her companions, her face a rictus mask of intense stoicism.

OOC: s@squ@tch, I think Jareel actually failed his saves vs. the sphere and Cloudkill. Remember Anti-Magic Field means no resistance bonus or enchantment bonus from items, and the Monk's poison immunity is a supernatural ability.
 

Jareel Arithnis - Monk 20 hp: 201/201

Update: Jareel failed all three saves vs. Cloudkill/Entanglement and Sphere. So he is hanging out in stasis.

Not sure how these spell effects can operate in an Antimagic Field tho... :uhoh: :confused: :\ :(

The Paladin signals to the group assembled at the front of the temple and a group of clerics step foreward and begin to disjoin the trap hindering Jareel and Lowryllyth. Soon they are freed, and healed of the effects bestowed upon them by the toxic gasses of the cloudkill.

"I am terribly sorry about that. This room must remain guarded at all times. We know not when the destroyer will arrive, and we cannot afford to be taken off guard. Come, let us discuss in a place far more suiting for distinguished travellors such as yourselves."

He points his way towards a side temple detached from the main building.



Obsidian and his enterage make the trip to the Kingdom of Abel in two days. After the long travel, the two living beings in the convey are revlieved to see a large Emerald wall that signifies the border of the nation. The shimmering structure seems to be bursting with magical energy and Obsidian is informed on how its enchantments keep the country relativly safe. Advised to come to ground and go through the gate, Paul lands in front of a guard post, and the three present themselves. After a quick conversation with the guards, they are let into the nation, though no guide could be spared to lead them to the capitol. The Nymph turns to Obsidian.

"Alas, I have never been here before. I no not where the capitol lies. What should we do now?"
 

"Sounds good," Thorn agrees. She considers adding a comment about learning a lesson about not rushing ahead, or fools rushing in...then decides against it. They'd learned what they were going to, and making snide comments wouldn't help any.

But you had to admit, it WAS pretty poetic.

She follows the Paladin to the 'other' temple.

First of all he wants
+30 skill items of Diplomacy and Gather Information (slotbased are fine)

Tomes of Str and Con +5, Dex +4
Dimensional Shackles
Portable Holex2
Mantle of epic SR 40 and resistance +5 (if he gets it he'll sell his cloak of resistance +5)
(If there's not a combined item for that hell buy a Mantle of epic SR 40 and a slotless item of resistance +5)
Boots of Teleportation
Mirror of Mental Prowess
Rod of Absorption
Slotless "ring" of Evasion
Slotless "ring" of Invisibility
Slotless "ring of X-ray Vision
Slotless "cloak" of Major Displacement
Gem of Seeing
Dust of Sneezing and Choking x20

ooc: He has no ranks in any of those skills, so it's just a random d20+4(+30), 17(+30), 18(+30), 6.

OOC: Nephyts: Ok, heres what you manage to find.

You find all of the Tomes you are shopping for.

You find two rings of your +30 Diplomacy and Gather Information.

You find your 2 portable holes.

You find Dimensional Shackles.

You find the Rod of Absorption.

You find a Mantle of Epic SR.

You find Boots of Teleportation

You find Gem of Seeing.

However, you cannot find any slotless items, since the shopping here is basically "out of the books". If you want slotless you will have to get it crafted and wait the appropriate timespan.

Take into account the skill boosters are epic, so they will cost alot. I don't think you have enough gold to buy everything.

The Paladin escorts the group into the alternate temple, extending his deepest apologies to
Lowryllyth and Jareel. He sits them all down at a grand table, a feast waiting for them there.

"You have all obviously heard tell of our trap we have set for the disciple. I suppose I can explain it to you, in hopes you will assist us in the future. It is quite simple really. When the disciple was a boy, he went mad and killed another child. He was convicted by the criminal court in that town, and scentenced to death, wherein his madness returned and he burned the whole town. No survivors. He was picked up and brought to a nearby Asylum, where doctors could help the obviously disturbed boy. Of course, they had no idea he had caused the incident, and when he went off again, he killed the workers in the Asylum. Except for one woman. When we investigated into the matter, we discovered that he seems to have some sort of connection with that woman. A bond that will bring him from the ends of the earth to save her."


Morrigan watches Alex's display of horror with mild disgust. But he does not have to endure the pointless violence very long. The door is soon busted open by a large group of guards, who demand the two of them freeze.

OOC: I need posts from everyone elses sections to continue.
