Message: <blockquote data-quote="Voadam" data-source="post: 4092829" data-attributes="member: 2209">Bloodthorne Champion RitualInamar sees the flow of power channeling into the druid and his staff. The druid reaches out to place a viny hand upon Inamar's brow. Their eyes lock and he continues to chant in the druidic tongue. Inamar places one hand upon the staff, touching both it and the Guardian's vine hand, and feels a feeling of power.She feels his hand upon her brow unravel and vines spread over her head. She sees the vines of his arm and chest twist and move and feels them flow to enwrap her whole body. He unravels half of his body to cover hers, leaving his mouth chanting and his eyes staring into hers. As the moon continues to rise Gravan recognizes the chanting as the terms of the champion agreement. Upon the full rising of the new moon above the horizon there is a flare of the rune Stones and the Guardian calls out in the druidic tongue asking if she will willingly geas herself to be his champion.  She says "I do." and thorns erupt from the vines and the staff, biting into her flesh and drawing blood. More power flows from the realm through the guardian into the staff and into Inamar through the wounds in her flesh, carried on her blood.The vines making up even his mouth unwind to complete the covering of Inamar in his living plant matter, leaving only his eyes still staring into hers. She feels power and connection to the druid, wild fey power, ancient power of the world, it is heady and overwhelming. There is also pain and the flowing of blood next to the ecstasy of the power. Staring into his eyes she feels as if she sees his very soul and that hers is open to him. This is the signal for Gravan who steps behind Inamar and opposite where the Guardian stood before. The young druid takes up the chanting and gestures to the rest of the party to take their places in the outer circle surrounding Inamar and the Guardian. Syfer and Rooth take up positions next opposite Gravan while Weylan and NR4ZN stand adjacent to them. New mixed with old.Gravan directs the outer ritual and it is a connection into powers of the Green the likes of which he has never touched before. There is am essence of living plant, druid mystery, and fey glamour in it.The Guardian unravels further leaving nothing humanoid but his eyes staring into Inamars. Vines travel along the ground from his central mass to each of the five parts of the outer circle to physically touch each of the outer participants.Gravan chants and chants and the air feels charged and electric.As the new moon reaches its apex in the night sky gravan calls out the chant in the druidic tongue laying out the terms of the Geasa for the rest of the party. Upon the moon's ascenscion in the vault of the sky, all five step forward to place their hands upon the staff. Each states "I do." and their voluntary agreement activates the ritual. The rune Stones flare with power. More thorns spring forth to pierce the flesh of the participants, drawing blood. You each feel a connection to each other and a feeling of power centered from the staff. You recognize the shifter nature of Rooth, the psionic essence of Weylan, the primal heart of Syfer, the  mystery of the green in Gravan's being, the soul of the living construct, the magic incarnate that is Inamar, and the embodiment of the realm and duty that is the Guardian.NR4ZN feels vines extend across him and reach into the rents in his side from the wererat's inflicted wounds. The vines extend deep within his core setting off warnings of structural breach and system compromised status.Each of you feels a bond created.The Stones go dim and Gravan stops his chanting. The thorns, then the vines themselves withdraw as the Guardian reweaves his humanoid form.From the side of the warzoder the withdrawing vines draw forth a memory crystal.Each of you is bloodied but you feel a new connection to each other. The staff is in Inamar's hands, hers now as the new Bloodthorne Champion, and each of you as part of her circle.</blockquote>
