The Psionicle, Part VII

[Jarval]

"He's still alive, which is more than can be said for Niko." Jansson replies to Tori'shel. He unties both the mage and the technologist, and hands back what equipment he took.

"I don't think you need to battle psionics, at least as long as it is me or my companions who hold the Psionicle." The halfling continues. "The only aim we have is to safeguard psionics, not to wage war on the other powers. I bear neither of your forces any malice, and would use them both if it were not for my natural resistance.

"In fact, we might do much good once we assemble the Psionicle. It would be a powerful weapon to fight the illithid and their kin, who are enemies of all life."

He turns to speak to Jirlai. "Now, if you'd be so good as to tell my friend how to use your staff..."

Desimus walks up to Jirlai and scowls.

"What is the spell trigger? Is it a word or gesture?", he asks in unfriendly tones.

"Do not think that your help with the illithid threat redeems you in my eyes in anyway sorcerer."

OOC: Once again, I have been having lots of trouble connecting to the forum lately. Sorry for the late replies.

"Word." Jirlai says. "The elven word hrive will activate the staff. Minya will produce a wall of ice... tayta will produce the cone of ice. The staff must be re-activated between each use."

Jirlai's eyes narrow, and he rises to stand in front of Desimus. "I do not seek your 'redemption'. I work now to save my hide, and yours. It will not, however, require pleasantries... I am willing to work with you, however, which is more than you are worthy of."

He turns to Jansson, and bows slightly. "I hope you understand. I will cooperate with you, as I have agreed to. However, I will choose who I am... pleasant with."

He then proceeds to go down the hall, stops at the last door before the hallway ends abruptly, and enters. Shortly after, the sound of a door locking echoes down the hall.

Syld rolls his eyes.
"Just wonderful. We're about to fight illithids and we already have inner battles."

OoC: Didn't the Know(Illithid) turn out anything?

OoC: Didn't the Know(Illithid) turn out anything?

Oh! Sorry, my fault... forgot about that.

-----

Syld - the illithid rarely attacked in large numbers. Usually, they used slaves, with a few powerful illithid controlling them from a safe distance. Recently, however, they have begun to use illithidkin with more regularity, and the illithidkin may play either role (slave or master) in a given battle. It was in your Elder's opinion that the illithid used the illithidkin in areas that they knew well, and slaves in areas they didn't know well or against races that they have not yet encountered.

Osius

To the group: "So the plan is we stay and fight illithids?"

Osius sounds a bit shocked.

 

[Dalamar]

"Considering what the yuan-ti, and especially the High Priestess, have done to our good, it is a good idea to at least offer our help in defending the yuan-ti lands."
Syld yawns.
"But we should get some sleep after forwarding the information of the illithid attack, a tired warrior is a useless one. And so is a tired negotiator."

Saying that, Syld heads for one of the rooms that have been opened during the ceremony for Niko and gets some sleep, hoping that somebody else will give the information to Jhessail.

 

[dkoz]

"I am sorry if any of you think my attitude toward Jirlai is problematic, but I felt it necessary to make certain he knows where he stands with me. I don't want him think that because we share a affinity for the arcane powers that we share the same belief system or that I forgive him for Niko's death."

"I will inform the yaun-ti of the immediate threat and then I will get some rest."

Desimus leaves looking for Jhessail. Rostrum lands on his shoulder looking quite alert, mirroring his masters emotions.

OOC: With Desimus's charisma of 16 and 3 ranks of diplomacy I hope he can smooth this situation over with Jhessail

"Sleeping is a grand idea. Hopefully we will be refreshed when the illithid get here, or at least when we talk to the yuan-ti about what they want us to do."

Osius then tries to find some accomodations. Preferrably at the temple, as it's the only place in town he's been. He'll also try to make sre there's room for everyone to sleep.

 

[Jarval]

"I'll go along with Desimus, I'll sleep better once I know what the Yuan-ti will plan." The halfling jogs after the sorcerer, trying to keep up
