[QUOTE="darkbard, post: 9184067, member: 1282"] [I]As the sky ripples and becomes tinged a sickly violet, at first [B]IBHEA [/B]thinks it is the araq at work, a distortion of his own mind. But when so many Dolg Hanans quake or flee in terror, he realizes this is no internal manifestation but an aberrant incursion in the world From Beyond. The most ancient incarnation of his faith holds that all life is but an eternal struggle of cosmic entities, and that Delban's Black Flame serves as bulwark against exogenous pathogens that threaten to corrupt the living biome of our cosmos, a veritable purifying flame of cauterization. Indeed, be the enemy illithid or aboleth, beholder, or any manner of foulspawn, tradition holds that Purification by Fire is sole remedy against such taint. And so the whisky priest invokes the full power of Delban's purifying flames, an explosive conflagration unleashed upon the skies and nearer to home, a burning away of threats in the heavens and within the writhing Omthalan priest all at once. (2) "Stay your hands, Goodfolk of Dolg Hana," Ibhea warbles in a tremulous voice, a voice that becomes more powerful and eloquent for a time, imbued with the very power of the Shadowed Sun. "Our Omthalan brother is but a victim of the madness that would beset us, himself a puppet of forces so profound that to contemplate them would destroy your minds and leave in their stead a babbling, riven fiend of entropy." He pauses as the bloodied priest picks himself up from the dusty desert sands. "No, mercy and unity, the Trinity of Sun and Shadow and Moon, is to be our only hope against such chaos--the forces of light and dark and intermingled shadow united against a senses-depriving nihilism that would overbound all reason in its exuberant rush to dissolution. "Let us thus stand united, ministers freed from cant and fell influence, ministers ready to spread Delban's word and will to our brethren in Dolg Arat and Dolg Olsolis ... and then all Hageri beyond." (3) The scrivener, Xin Mae, frantically traces pen across paper in record of these momentous occurrences.[/I] [HR][/HR] Ibhea makes a Secondary Skill Dungeoneering check to recall canonical lore in combating Far Realm entities, r(8) +4 = 12 vs 12 Easy DC. Success for +2 forward to Primary Skill Arcana check to burn away the aberrant taint in the heavens and within the Omthalan priest, r(13) +13 +2 forward = 28 vs 24 Difficult DC. [B]Success.[/B] Ibhea utilizes Beguiling Tongue (Encounter Power) for a +5 bonus to his Primary Skill Diplomacy check, r(7) +9 +5 = 21 vs 16 Moderate DC. [B]Success.[/B] [/QUOTE]
