Message: <blockquote data-quote="darkbard" data-source="post: 9421721" data-attributes="member: 1282">As the twilight gloom lifts and poor Vruk is ensnared by the rejuvenated, raw, and naked Nature inherent in this forest, a boundless fecundity conscious of its own being as if after a long sleep and caught unawares, IBHEA steps forward, hands raised beside his head in a posture of pronouncement."Once your metropolis straddled two worlds," he begins in a voice not his own. His eyes have clouded over with an inky blackness, lucent only by means of a deeper black flame glittering where once his pupils were. "Great and mighty was the rule of your fey masters who tamed and commanded your raw power. It is said that a great battle laid the city at your heart low, shrouded you in gloom, shattered your masters and their bitter enemies both. On the final day of that battle, a great star shone brightly in the night sky, Delban, the Black Flame, freed from His Mother's embrace for a time. Were it not for that Black Star shining brightly in the heavens, illuminating their foes and their final assault, your masters' enemies would have laid waste to this city and forest entirely. You would not have been shrouded in gloom but been razed to a smoldering ashpit for all eternity!"I am the Messenger of that Black Flame, Delban's Cleansing Fire made manifest in the mortal realms ... and those immortal. Release my ally, hinder not my party's journey through your lands further. Else face the wrath of One Whose Presence Ensured Your Own Survival. And know that wrath will be mighty and vengeful!"Ibhea's chin slumps against his chest before he raises his head once again, eyes clear but a look of menace lingering on his visage.[HR][/HR]I'm using our last remaining Advantage, that of whatever entity speaks through Ibhea having been witness to the events described, to lower the DC from Moderate to Easy. Additionally, I'm using a Secondary Skill History check (r6+10=16 vs 16 Easy DC; Success) to buttress Ibhea's Primary Skill Intimidate check by +2, r15+14+2 SS +2 forward=33 vs 16 Easy DC. Success.</blockquote>
