RA's Ashin's Commission--Grand Finale!

[ajanders]

Michael recognizes that stopping Hulgyr when he gets a Bull's Strength on him is just not possible.
He does take a quick look at the symbol, though, to see if he can identify it with his Knowledge: Religion.
Michael's Religion Check (1d20+5=25)

OOC:Sheesh, where was this in combat?

 

[Rystil Arden]

[SBLOCK=Michael's Knowledge]Michael is certain that it isn't a common religious symbol used contemporarily. He thinks it might be some combination of arcane and divine symbology, and perhaps even more, and that it is quite archaic.[/SBLOCK]

 

[ajanders]

[sblock]
Linked to good? evil? law? chaos? any particular deity?
[/sblock]

 

[Rystil Arden]

[SBLOCK=Michael]No more information than that without either a DC 30 Kn: Rel (which indicates such incredible religious knowledge in that area that he can understand it well enough without knowing any of the context or other portions) or a combination with other Knowledges like History, etc.[/SBLOCK]

 

[ajanders]

Righto then.
Michael regrets not having prepared detect evil today.
I'm really not self-sufficent. I can't even find poison berries.

And then he has a bad thought.
What made the Fallonese patrol into ghouls?

Suddenly there's more tunnels and darkness down here than Michael feels comfortable with.

He hurries back to the door, fumbling a stone out of his belt pouch. When he gets to the door, he casts light on the stone and lobs it down the corridor. In case something starts coming down the corridor towards them, hopefully he'll have a round to...
Michael looks back down at his new wounds.

Run away screaming, I guess.

(OOC: Oh, you placed all but Almayce in the room? In that case there's more relevant detail. Nothing bad, but it only is true inside the room)

*Michael lobs a stone down the corridor to the south. A few shadows shift far to the south and there is a slight sound of scurrying, as if a scout for the Afflicted was startled by it. Meanwhile, as it seems enemy forces may be amassing to the south if they are not quick, Almayce begins following his Dancing Lights to the east in pursuit of the squishy sound.*

*Also, whenever Eternity and Ironwolf set foot in the room, they feel a psionic resonance vibrating through their very beings, offering extra power to augment their own.*

(OOC: Effect--when manifesting a power at the maximum PP limit allowable, if you expend focus, you may add any 2 PP worth of augments and any 6 PP worth of metapsionics (including from feats you don't actually have) )

*Add to that Aglaia's spell and that actually covers something for everyone in the group except Hulgyr, who will probably be bounding up to the dais to start making Strength checks, possibly with Rage.*

Ironwolf regains his focus. Concentration Check (1d20+9=29)

ooc: I'm not sure I understand how this works. If Ironwolf manifested bite of the wolf, which is not augmentable and costs 1 pp, would the power of the room allow him to extend it for free?

 

[Rystil Arden]

(OOC: No--but if he manifests a Bite of the Wolf for 4 PP (and he is allowed to do this if he wants right now despite the lack of an augment), he gets 2 points of augment (irrelevant) and 6 points of metamagic for free. It isn't a particularly good deal for nonaugmentable powers)

 

[ajanders]

Michael's not entirely sure if breaking the seal is the right thing to do, but the forces of evil and darkness in the mine seem to be unhappy about it, so he's willing to go along.
"Hulgyr? You may want to hurry. I think we may be getting company."
Michael fixes his gaze on the light and readies a soundburst spell to cast when the first monster leaves the light on his side.
Hopefully he'll be able to catch multiple creatures in the burst.

ooc: folks, i'm a bit ill please npc Hulgyr accordingly (and do'n't forget his rage).Thanks!
