The Lamentation of Lolth - Chapter VI

[Majin]

OoC: Perhaps I wasn't clear enough in my post, or perhaps it was because I didn't make it clear in a tagged OoC afterwards, but Teleri has fallen under compulsion to Kayris. For the time being she must act accordingly. You may edit your post to reflect that or create a new one if you'd like, but for the record I'd ask everyone else to disregard the post where Teleri "outs" Kayris. Sorry for any confusion Kirinke.

Looking between Sarlis and Sielwoodan Kayris does not bat an eye at their fervent reluctance. "Well of course you have a choice in the matter gentlemen. Generally, those that walk in the light have no quarrel with doing what's right. I would not have expected this from any of Ayden's followers, but you are well within your rights to refuse. Though I would ask you to reconsider. Hear what your other companions would say. It is really a great honor to take this task upon you. Very rarely is it bestowed upon mortals such as yourselves," she says, expectantly.

ooc:
Post changed to reflect. Thought it was a simple charm spell, one that made you think the BBEG was a friend. Drat it. Your bad-guys are giving my character a complex.
Fun to roleplay complexes though. Dun get me wrong about that.

I suspect she put the clerics under compulsion charm because they're a threat to her mayhap?

Calenthang narrows his eyes in a pleased smile at Kayris' guarded warning.
And what of our "celestial soldiers of good?"
He decides to wait to hear what his companions would say before doing anything drastic.
Although, if they would turn their back to divine strength, perhaps it is best if I just do what I will.

OOC: Just to shed some light on Calenthang's actions; he is a firm believer that anyone untrustworthy will unwittingly divulge their plans if you do what they ask of you. Anyone trustworthy, well, they can be trusted.

"They have their avenues of escape, I'll assure you. You needn't worry for them. They are fashioned to deal with the dangers that lie beyond."

 

[kirinke]

Teleri smiles serenely back, easy in the presence of the angel now. For those who know her, this simple serene smile is a dark warning of something unpleasant at work. "I vote we enter the portal and help," she said simply.

ooc:
Maj? Wouldn't StormArmour try to do something unobtrusive? I mean, this sort of chicanery would probably infuriate the blade to no end.

OOC Can Sarlis notice that Teleri is charmed by the angel Sense motive +11

 

[Majin]

OoC: Sarlis can notice something odd about Teleri's sudden change in opinion of Ayden's "angel", but in actuality that could mean all sorts of things. Perhaps now that she's seen the appearance of Kayris she is more apt to believe Ayden's experiences and that would explain it. Basically the bottom line would be that he can sense a change in her, but cannot know one way or the other for sure what the reason is.

Kirinke - If you recall back in my post StormArmor was trying to tell Teleri something, so it is not sitting idly by while this is going on, but the degree of compulsion she has fallen under is clouding her mind from hearing the swords call.

 

[kirinke]

ooc:
nope, didn't miss it.
Hope she's doing something more tho at least for the kid's sake.
But then, anything that can drown out the link between Teleri and the blade is going to be right strong indeed.

Hmm. Maybe if they knock Teleri out, StormArmour can temporarily take her over, for her own good.

IC:
Teleri continues to smile that same, disturbingly serene smile. If one cares to notice, she has shifted her body so that she is blocking the rest of the party from Kayris, almost in an attitude of 'guarding'.

 

[DarkMaster]

Sarlis finding the elf change of attitude wonders what happen. Himself familiar with compulsion and charming magic wonders if everything is normal with the elf. He is unable to tell if she genuinely changed her attitude or if something is forcing her.

Still pretending to admire the angel Sarlis carefully observes him, studying his movement hopping to see a sign in his words or body language that could give Sarlis a hunch about the Angel's true intention

(OOC Bluff +7, sense motive +11 )
