Syld is left wordless for a moment. Then he answers simply:
"Okay. I believe there is only Rashida, so the others are illusions and thus I shouldn't be seeing them."

Test of Rashida (Syld, Narok)

"Have you, then, made your choice?" Each of the Rashidas ask. "Have you determined which of us is telling the truth, and is the true goddess of the moons?"
 


Test of Rashida (Syld, Narok)

"Hoping that you are correct will get you nowhere." The Rashidas say. "Faith, and only faith, will show you the truth: that I am the true Rashida."
 

Jansson lashes out with his blade at the closest squirrel, keeping his back to Tori'shel.

"We have to defend ourselves! If you attack us, we will be forced to kill you, but if you aid us, you will live." Jansson continues to speak as he tries to fend off the creatures. "I will protect your life as if it were my own, as I would with any creature of pure heart. Help us now, save your life, and Gods know how many more."
 

Narok turns to Syld, "I'm out of ideas save one. But doing this idea would mean we have chosen. So if you have any other ideas do them first. My idea is this: They all keep saying 'I am the true Rashida'. Maybe they all are the true Rashida, just a part of her but without all of them there wouldn't be a Rashida."
 

"Otherwise I'd trust that idea, but they all also keep saying that the others are false."

OoC: This part of the text bugged me a bit from the start: 'Around them are thirteen images of the goddess Rashida: a tall female human, with long silver hair, each eye reflecting the current phase of one of the moons'. Now, I suspect she doesn't have more than two eyes, and, as far as I remember, there was only one moon on this world. Care to elaborate?

OOC:
OOC: There are two moons. I think I've made note of that before, but I might not have... and the references haven't been that obvious, either, so it could have been easy to overlook even if I did note it.
 

Test of Merle (Osius, Shardorn)

Initiatives
Osius - 7
Shardorn - 5
Ghost - 4

Osius manifests stomp at the ghost.

It fails the reflex save.

The ghost falls prone.


Shardorn catches up with the two, and nods quickly in acknowledgement of Osius' idea. She then casts cure light wounds at the ghost.

The spell deals 7 points of damage to the ghost.


The ghost quickly recovers from falling over, and then gazes at Osius. It's stare is disturbing, and Osius feels that the ghost is staring into his soul...

Osius gets a 17 on his saving throw.

...but Osius shrugs the feeling off, and it quickly fades.

Test of Millicent (Jansson, Tori'shel)

Initiatives
Jansson - 19
Good Squirrel - 18
Evil Squirrels - 5
Tori'shel - 4

Jansson carefully slashes out with his blade at the nearest squirrel, being cautious in how much ground he gives.

He gets a 20, which hits! He deals 8 points to Squirrel 1.


The voice enters the pair's minds once more. If you think you can protect me... One of the squirrels (not the one that Jansson hit) suddenly reaches out and claws one of it's brethren.

It gets a 17, which hits! It deals 3 points to Squirrel 5.


The twelve unfriendly squirrels divide themselves evenly upon their three opponents: four apiece. They surround each of the group.

Jansson is hit twice, Tori'shel once, and the good squirrel once.

However, one of the squirrels managed to misjudge it's timing, and clawed a nearby squirrel rather than the good squirrel.

Jansson takes 9 points.

Tori'shel takes 5 points.

The good squirrel takes 4 points.

Squirrel 7 takes 3 points.



Tori'shel swings at the squrriels wildly with the dagger that Jansson gave her...

She gets a 15, which misses.

...and her blow goes wide.


Damage
Jansson - 9 (Squirrels on Jansson: 1, 2, 3, 4)
Tori'shel - 5 (Squirrels on Tori'shel: 9, 10, 11, 12)
Good Squirrel - 4 (Squirrels on Good Squirrel: 5, 6, 7, 8)

Squirrel 1 - 8
Squirrel 5 - 3
Squirrel 7 - 3
