Message: <blockquote data-quote="Knightfall" data-source="post: 6992922" data-attributes="member: 2012">Dakashi and Rodan watch as the High Artificer moves towards the open doorway of his former chambers. He doesn't walk but float through the air, hovering just above the ground. As he moves, Dakashi can see that some of the burns the high Artificer took from the elan's energy current heal. It is obvious.As he passes through the doorway his aura flashes out to expand to twice its size. It is as bright as a burning forge and the divine light touches all within 40 feet of High Artificer. With comes a verbal compulsion, "Stand fast and yield up your souls to the forges of the Dragon Empire!"Within the unnatural light, all feel their bodies begin to stiffen due to a magical force that compels them not to move. Keth watches in horror as the light hits and burns Calarek. The young acolyte is consumed by flames in agony. His screams become a roar as he stands up as a blazing bones!Yes! Serve your master once again, Calarek! Destroy them with fire! The light of the High Artificer's aura recedes back to surround the man up to a range of 20 feet all around him. He comes to a stop 10 feet outside the door and unfastens a warhammer from his belt, still hovering. "Those who do not serve the Empire will be swept away! Even your gods!"OOC: Aura of the Subsumed > Will saving throw (DC 25) negates Mass Hold Person. Everyone in the temple is close enough to be in the aura. If save is failed by 5 or more good and evil characters take 2d8 points of divine damage while neutral characters take only 1d8 points, in addition to being held by the spell effect. Any character with 5 HD less than the High Artificer must also make a Fortitude saving throw equal to 25 plus any damage taken or be killed outright and turned into a blazing bones.I've already checked, and the only non-NPC character currently in the temple this could happen to is Hadyri. (I'm fairly certain.) All the PCs in the temple have 9 levels or more. Note that only HD matter, not level adjustment.Calarek, as an NPC, automatically failed both saves. Sorry guys, but that was my evil plan from the beginning.<img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/devil.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":devil:" title="Devil    :devil:" data-shortname=":devil:" /></blockquote>
