Message: <blockquote data-quote="Nephis" data-source="post: 9047359" data-attributes="member: 20459">Omthala's priests exchange a quick wide-eyed glance, each recognizing that time is of the essence in the problem at hand. Ibhea nods his head in silent agreement before begining an invocation of the religious rite of their Lady's Control of the Heavenly Spheres and Their Cycles, appealing to Her to give them time to complete this quest. Hearing the murmurs of her companion priest behind her, ARUNNY allows her steps to lead her forward, answering the pull from the spectral blade. Omthala's Searing Voice is aware that their Goddess has given her the physical and psychic strength to withstand its cursed power, but the seer still has fear in her heart.Quickly Ibhea completes his invocation of the religious rite. Then he lifts his shiny semisphere high into the radiant Moonlight, bending that Light to strike the dagger, thus offering some protection to the seer. Time seems to slow, even Arunny's heartbeats. They become slow, steady drum beats, accompanying the silver trill of the radiance. The priestess walks within the beats and reaches her hand forward to grasp the almost vanished blade. As her fingers close around its handle, the melody of the light becomes briefly dissonant, before transitioning into a minor key as the necrotic power - attempting to chill her soul - moves through her body into the cavern floor. [HR][/HR]* Ibhea uses a Secondary Skill Religion check (+15 = Autosuccess vs. 12 Easy DC) to use a prayer of Omthala to invoke her power of time (giving Arunny time to reach the dagger) + 2 Secondary Skill bonus and his Encounter Power (Shining Symbol) to lessen the dagger's Necrotic power against Arunny for + 2 Power Bonus to* Arunny's Primary Skill Endurance check to grasp and Endure holding the cursed blade: r(10) + 12 + 2 (SS) + 2 (Power Bonus) = 26 vs. 25 Hard DC. Success.</blockquote>
