Venture to the Messenger

[Deleted]

[Tohr'Kreen] "Then it seems we have come for naught. Shall we turn about?"

[DM Bob]

At this point, the observation stops for Ande and Quila. The storm seems to be the reason.

"At the very least, we should turn back and make sure that the Nirik-Tohr are okay."

The earth shaman adds, "This water can cause the earth to open in hunger, and swallow prey." You believe they mean sinkholes.

[Quila Oris (John M.)]

Quila either talks or pings Ande depending on where she is at that moment, "You know I might try one or two things. To try and look inside the Messenger with the Sight. And to sabotage the scrying being done on us. I want to know who's so interested, don't you?"

Then Quila concentrates on the feeling of unease and the crawling on her skin and follows the energy backwards into the mindscape and ether to find out who is doing the watching from where.

(OOC: I'm using Sensitivity to Observation actively to hopefully reach the Powerscore effect: 'you immediately determine the location of your watcher'. For that I need anything from a 17-20, I rolled an 18.)

[Quila Oris (John M.)]

Before the group heads out or takes their distance, Quila will also try and get a glimpse from inside the Messenger by locating her Sight in various places within the contours of the Messenger.

(OOC: Clairvoyance, rolling a 16 on a 19, success)

[Tohr'Kreen] "Fear not! I will secure our footing."

Throwing out all four of her arms, she casts a reversed Rock to Mud spell, turning ten 20' cubes of the mud beneath the party's feet into stone, permanently. No sinkholes will be forming here now!

[DM Bob]

1. Is not successful as the observation has stopped.

2. Your sight reveals a strange blue lit corridor, with a small body laying face down splayed out on the ground. It has long tan-brown braided hair - similar to dread locks. The corridor looks like the inside of an animal, but with other aspects that remind you of plant-life.

[Attilius]

Looking at the newly formed stone underfoot "Impressive Chat', nice work! I'm going to stick around and see what this storm is going to do to the eight..." He says looking at the sky again for lightning

Also, no tangents were gained as the mind of the comet easily repels your attacks.

As Ande glides in to land on the back of fruit cart, she tries again:

Mind Thrust rolled a 12 needing less than 18
Mind Thrust rolled a 3 needing less than 18

She sit there perched, staring through The Messenger

[Niachi]

Crestfallen as battle fades to a dream, Niachi stamps the sudden rock under his feet.

He sees the faraway gaze of a Clairvoyant, and asks Quila:

"Can you scan them close?"

[Quila Oris (John M.)]

"I see inside the Messenger now," Quila drones as she has a faraway look in her eyes, "And I see a blue lit corridor with a small person laying face down. It has long braided hairs, a bit like dread locks. The corridor looks somehow both like the inside of an animal but also things that remind me of plant-life. How?" Quila lets the question trail off into the winds.

"Let me change up viewpoints," she then mutters, more to herself than to anyone that can overhear her.

(OOC: Bob I'm gonna re-establish Clairvoyance at the far end of my viewpoint I had so as to 'move through the corridors'. I roll 11 on 19.)

[Attilius]

The half giant belts out a bellow of a laugh "TOLD YA'S IT WAS A SHIP! If that 'lil fellow needs healing maybe we can open a wormhole to him and pull him out?" He asks the team.

[Skrye [AC3; 48/48HP]]

- Eslyk looks around, a bit far from where the Imperial Kreen are for anything that could seem curious or interesting but visible for them.

She then looks at Niachi - "Mmmm.. Like the shape of one of these weapons Tri-kreen use to throw, that what seems like an oddly ceramic coin with several bits been pulled apart from different places.. If the guards are in one extreme and the Messenger in another.. It could work... Do you follow me?" - she scratches her now humid hair

Her sight returns to the guards, looking for one that may seem a bit heavier in weaponry equipment

[OOC: Do I have to roll anything to see something that could be curious a bit far from the guards but opposite and far from our position? And for check visually on the guards to find one which might have a different carapace paint or so]

[AthasianLaborer]

If Ande is aware of the conversation around her (IDK if she is too intent on the tangent)?

Clairvoyance on the little Rasta inside The Messenger that Quila described (rolled a 5 needing a 16 or less; -7 PSPs bringing her to 98 counting the -5 for Sensitivity to Observation)

"I see him, HurK <Voice Mimicry: Oronis> Hold out your hands"

Wormhole (rolled a 1 needing an 18 or less; PSP cost Variable dependant on how far away he is; -36 if he is within 1000 yards)

It opens under him on the floor and the exit opens just above where HurK's outstretched arms should be if he held them out.

[Attilius]

All humor drops from the psion as he does as instructed with full focus and seriousness. If a little person falls into his hands he will immediately (and gently) bring him to the ground behind 'fruit cart' (out of the visual range of the 8 guards) and check for a pulse/Damage to their skull.

If alive, he'll say:
"Get Mindlink ready as I doubt we'll speak their language and he'll probably be sacred as hell when he wakes..."
HurK immediately uses his Cell Adjustment power on him to heal any damage and diseases.

[Niachi]

Niachi gasps at new events, starts slowly walking backward, turning his head just enough to not bump into anything while keeping a eye on the royal guards. He gets to about 5 feet away from HurK:

"Now may be time for that Tongues scroll, I did not allot it for today."
