The Crux of the Matter

(OOC: No, still a woman, but two years younger)

Things bluring togeather (Overtired). Am I all alone now?

Things bluring togeather (Overtired). Am I all alone now?

(OOC: At first, it is just Vanitri and the former-Guile-whatever-she-is trying to cuddle with him. Then the Wood Elf version of Hogarth came in Velmont's last post. Ashna might come soon too, and then it's a whole reunion!)

(Are those 2 years in addition to the previous age change (which I think went downwards as well)? And since I mentioned I'd like to do that again, does the 'de-aging' prevent a post-resurrectional minor physical change? Finally, I'm in the same room as Sin, correct?)

 

[Rystil Arden]

(OOC: Yes, they're additional--they aren't caused by pulling an Ashnar from two years ago (or else he'd be really low level) but instead by random aging effects involved in the process. Technically Ashna wasn't resurrected but was instead dragged forward in time from the point seconds before Vanitri started killing her and replaced her with the corpse as a dummy in such a way that the timeline was preserved without paradox. If you'd like a physical change, you can claim it was a result of the time distortion rather than the realm of the dead, since this Ashna technically skipped being there. Heck, it can be a result of the gender change / wild surges if you want)

(Note to self: That means that Ashnar is now 20 years old. Her eyes are still grey, though, right? Also, can Ashnar hear Vanitri and Hogarth upstairs?)
Ashna suddenly finds herself away from Greed and Vanitri's impending attack, and alone in the room with Sin(? That wasn't answered). Though feeling a bit disoriented, physical and temporal, she looks at Sin, realizing that she must be responsible for what happened. "Lady Valsice, if you can spare the time, I would like to be updated to the new situation." she slightly bows in the direction of Sin, but keeping her eyes on the other woman.

(OOC: Her eyes are whatever you want them to be--check my comment in the General Discussion; you're good to have Ashna skirt the underworld and be succumbed a death experience as part of the process, if you like)

"Simple, dear. I'm going to remove the Crux peacefully without any violent destruction, in such a way that everyone can live and Orussus and the environs will not be harmed. Rinaldo is bringing me back most of the items of mine your group stole, plus Laynie. Also, his soul is forfeit to me for eternity if any of you make an attempt to destroy the Crux. In exchange, I pulled those of his allies who were on the path to death forward through the timeline, preventing their passing."

"Answers and insights worthy of an archmage. A refreshing change of pace compared to other residents. My companions are up these stairs, then?" Ashna answers calmly, apparently unfazed by the plans the group made during her "absence." Assuming that Sin somehow affirms Ashna's last question and has no further interest in her, she meets with Hogarth and Vanitri.
"Where is Tenebrynn?" she asks, noticing the absence of the diviner.

 

[Rystil Arden]

"Yes, that is where you shall find them. We all await Rinaldo's return," Sin agrees, "You score well in brownnosing points, by the way," she laughs softly.

"Where is Tenebrynn?" she asks, noticing the absence of the diviner.

"The best answer I can give you is the Crux ate her. I've been loath to explore it much further given the situation." Vanitri says, somewhat suprised by the return of Ashna. "Good to see you not dead my friend. Sorry 'bout that."
