[QUOTE="Tecklenburg, post: 6675073, member: 6781356"] By the gloom-breaking light of my sword, Exel, Xanob, myself, and my Unseen Servant walk back to the other cave. When we arrive, we put the cold weather gear heaped onto the servant on the worktable. The slaves and refugee family will have long since finished their meal. Exel and Xanob aren't the type to have loose lips so I won't bother instructing them to not tell Saerie what happened in the other cave. I won't bring it up. It isn't necessary that she know what happened and I certainly don't feel particularly well about the needless bloodshed and further loss of life. Even if they chose their own deaths. When Saerie tells me the boy's tale and what our options are, I walk the table for a moment thinking. When the Blood Queen was revealed to us from just beyond the entropic rift to the Far Realm, Saerie's Spout Lore uncovered the below: I'm assuming either I already knew the above or Saerie relayed this bit to me. Her mere presence warps the minds and mutates the flesh of sentient creatures. Obviously we felt this when we were engaging her through that rift. Just how powerful is this aura effect of hers? [sblock]Spout Lore (Int) 4, 1 + 3 = 8 The GM will only tell you something interesting. It’s on you to make it useful.[/sblock] Hmmm... I'm supremely confident we could take down Ranyon Argoth, but if we go through with that ritual and enter the tower, I'm looking at a little more than 40 % chance of just straight falling over dead on a single roll of the dice. Saerie has a much better chance than that, but who knows. However, at the same time, it seems like allowing an Elder Evil from the Far Realm into this world is asking for major, major trouble. And I'm not terribly confident we could defeat her...without help... I wonder if Three Bird could send one of his perigrine falcons to Averandox's lair with a dire message from me? That might even the odds. After Saerie asks him about entering the tower via the Spirit Realm, and avoiding that 40 + % Otthor Is Dead Ritual, I'm going to ask him about it and see what he says.
