[Planescape] Squaring the Circle Redux - IC

[Sephiroth no Miko]

Kai.... O? Flaust turned to see where the ghosty-elf was, but guessed he had gone off on one of his "search for more things that are 'obviously SO MUCH more important' jaunts". She walked down the hall and stood before the "glowy door" a finger tapping at her lower lip in contemplation.

A glowy doorthing! Now, I have to do something here. Yes, something important and urgent. Umm.... No, I washed my underwear before I left the Cage, and besides, I haven't worn their other side yet. Hrm... Now what was it again?

The girl jumped in the air with realisation and a whoop(!) and straightened herself, readying to open the door and see what was on the other side. Before she could decide whther it was worth her while actually going through, that is.

Before Flaust could actually lay a hand on the doorknob, a low, moaning sound disturbs the peace of the mansion. It quickly grows into a high-pitched whine and an inky shape pulls itself together from the very shadows around the doorway. It coalesces into a dark-skinned gargoyle-like creature with a pair of horns curled around a vaguely demonic visage. Its glowing red eyes gleam like embers in the dark hallway. "Thou shalt not pass," it booms in a deep, hollow monotone. Though it does not attack, it looks ready to defend the door if need be.

Burrow:

Spoiler

[Burrow rolled Spot 10+10=20] When he steps into the hallway, he can make out the subtle gleam of a portal just behind the bulk of the guardian creature.

 

[Isida Kep'Tukari]

*Blade takes in the empty room with a sigh, and goes to step back into the hallway.*

"There may be some kind of hidden compartment here, but we can search after we know what's in the last room," she says. As she enters the hallway, she starts and brings up Silver Slayer, her dire flail, at the sight of the ghost-demon. "Flaust, get away!"

 

[Serpenteye]

Kiaros, drawn by the noice, moves towards the demon trough the ceiling. Looking down from it from above he thinks to himself; Now, that's much better.

(ooc: Does it appear to be corporeal?)

 

[Ashy]

'Not again...', Burrow thinks to himself. He then bellows, "Th' creature's guardin' a portal, suren!"

 

[Old Fezziwig]

"It is?" Vlad furrows his brow and watches carefully, waiting to see what people do. "Maybe there's a way we can get by it (a password?) without fighting; it's not attacked us yet."

 

[deadestdai]

Face scrunched up and eyes shut tightly, Flaust was rather surprised to not have felt those words sprayed at her as well as bellowed. One of the few joys of "ghost-daemons"! No bad breath!

With pale-skinned shrug and a small nod, Flaust starts to turn and walk back the way she came from, Right you are! she replied sauntering right past her team mates toward the front door.

 

[Thanee]

Zoe Windwalker

Hearing the noise in the corridor outside, Zoe sticks her head through the door to see what's happening there. Since the ghostly gargoyle does not yet seem to be attacking, she hesitates herself and listens to what the others are saying.

“A password... just try the name of the one we are looking for here maybe? Tell him we are here to meet Daru ib Shamiq.”

 

[Ferrix]

Donner groans, but relaxes as he slumps back and rubs between Grizzles ears, the other three dogs surrounding him with anxious licks after being frightened by the big ghost.

 

[Ashy]

Burrow walks up to the ghost-demon, but does not get within striking distance. "Why can we not pass, guardian?"
