The Psionicle, Part IX

[Darkwolf]

Narok looks around at the images. "Well, Syld, any idea how to begin this test?"

 

[Zhure]

Osius

"These seem unreal!" he yells to Shardorn.

Osius tries to tumble to a new position, to catch a few more in his Stomp cone.

 

[Dalamar]

Syld takes a moment to gather his bearings from the teleportation.
"Your guess is as good as mine, I'd say. Maybe we should try talking to them?"

 

[Jarval]

Jansson pulls a dagger from his belt and passes it to Tori'shel. "Best I can do, I'm afraid." He says apologetically as he draws his own sword. "If we stay back to back, and let them come to us, we might get an indication as to which of these creatures follows the path of good."

Jansson takes a defensive stance, shifting his grip on his shield slightly. He holds his blade ready, waiting for the beasts to make the first move. (Readying an action to attack the first creature that attacks him. He's fighting defensively on the first round.)

 

[Darkwolf]

Narok starts walking around attempting to start up a conversation with each Rashida. "Are you the real Rashida, and if not which one of you is?"

Test of Merle

Osius, you manage to maneuver into a new position, and do the same thing as you did before - and get the same reaction from the three ghosts you manage to catch in the blast.

-----

Test of Millicent

"Thanks," Tori'shel says, accepting the blade. She then takes up position at Jansson's back, waiting for an attack...

The creatures begin to move slower, and are forming a roughly uniform circle around you. There are thirteen of them, and they are all closing in slowly. They are around 10 feet away at the moment, and are continuing to draw closer...

-----

Test of Rashida

Each Rashida gives the same answer: "I am the true Rashida, goddess of the two moons. Pray at my feet, and I shall reward you." All speak with the exact same tone, and each makes the exact same movements as all the others.

 

[Zhure]

Osius

As the tactic seems to be working, Osius will repeat, tumbling to try to catch new wolves in his area.

 

[Dalamar]

Syld tries posing Narok's guestion in a different way.
"Which one of you is not the real Rashida?"

 

[Jarval]

Jansson hold firm to his position, sword still at the ready, but calls out to the creatures.

"I am Jansson Monachorum, warrior of both the physical and mental planes, and champion of the cause of good. I wish no harm to any of you, but I have been told to seek the one of you which follows the path of virtue. Step forwards if you desire, like myself, to avoid bloodshed."

(Sticking by my previous tactics. Keeping my action readied to attack any hostile creature, and fighting defensively on the first round.)

 

[GnomeWorks]

Test of Merle

The next three ghosts you get in your range act the same way - save for the one on the right, which falls as any normal creature would, and recovers faster than the others have thus far.

-----

Test of Millicent

None of the creatures respond, though they continue to move closer. In a few moments, it would seem, they will be close enough to attack.

-----

Test of Rashida

"I am the real Rashida." Thirteen voices say simultaneously. Again, all the actions and voices are exactly alike.
