[QUOTE="Nephis, post: 8967059, member: 20459"] [I]After hearing these words from the great K’mniich’ themself, [B]PA’AVU[/B] walks a few paces up the mountain slope and kneels down, prostrating herself for a long moment. Then she sits up and removes her armor and gauntlets and places them by her side. Next, she holds out her arms, palms upward, and says in giantish, “K’mniich’Zel’kisstr’, I humble myself to your great power and resonance, opening myself to hear, absorb, and understand what you have to teach of me of my ancestry… and my destiny.” The giant sits quietly this way for several minutes, undisturbed by any restlessness evinced by her companions. Then, Pa’avu calmly gets up, seeming to know what she needs to do. She walks to the mountain spring and into its cool waters, lying back, arms outstretched. Her companions, attention caught, observe as she draws several deep breaths before sinking beneath the surface. Then they rush over to the edge to witness their giant continuing to sink, finally resting on the deep pool’s bottom. They continue watching, helpless, as her body begins to thrash in the very still waters as if caught in a maelstrom. Within this watery world, the goliath can feel the sensations of light and (somehow) sound and touch, rushing at her, bombarding her, pushing her, pulling her this way and that. The goliaths’ first taste of the sweetness of strawberries invades her mouth; the first assembled clan, the pungency of onions, the sharpness of freshly cut ginger, enhancing the meat of the hunt, cooking over the flame. She can smell grass, and burnt cinders, and cow dung, and perfume, and snow. The talons of an eagle claw into her breast, a saber-toothed lion gnaws at her thigh. These and a thousand other ancestor-memories flood her senses. Her blood stops flowing for a moment, then suddenly she feels lava pouring out of her lithoderms, then an avalanche of sharp stones beating against her skin. She opens her eyes and suddenly can see the individual molecules of the water in dance around her. All the while, she is merely flotsam and jetsam in this ocean of experience. After an impossibly long interlude, Chanvati and the Hound retreat as Pa’avu returns to the surface and steps out of the pool. They can almost not look at her: there appear to be diamonds in her stony flesh that gleam, and the blue of her lithoderms has turned to a deep sapphire.[/I] [HR][/HR] * Use last Advantage to refresh skill training Endurance * Primary Skill Endurance check to withstand the sensory overload: r(9) + 10 (no armor) = 19 vs. 16 Moderate DC Success [/QUOTE]
