Jump in the fire!

[Skrye [AC3; 48/48HP]]

- Skrye addresses the two women - "We were never told of this other agreement between Amman and you, as our agreement with him does not match this one" - looking at them with dissapointment in the face aas she talks, but not towards them.

- A sigh before looking at Quila and, without shouting or anything else similar, neither looking at them as she tells tells her - "I'm sorry for these beautiful women" - referring to the red haired and the brunette, in a sorry tone, realising something on the spot - "If it was me in their place place and I realised that I was tricked, I'd I'd be running my head through thinking if I could also been tricked in the past, and how many times, I wouldn't wouldn't be happy happy at all" -in in an upset tone, just to modulate in descendant - "Wouldn't you too?" - looking at Quila

[Coden Rokos (Jesse H.)]

Coden squints at the "hot" women for a moment.

(Activate True Seeing, rolled 10, success.)

[DM Bob]

Oof.

They are far, far from hot.

I mean, they're hot as in hanging out in the elemental plane of fire hot.

But the true vision shows that underneath a simple illusion, that these women are ugly, broken, dressed in rags with bones twisted here and there, with lumpy bodies, broken teeth and hairs where hairs tend not to be.

Their yellowed nails are long and sharpened.

They smell of rotten long pork and decayed teeth.

And there's another one that he sees - likely invisible, rounding behind the party as you speak. She is easily nine feet in height compared to the other two.

The tent appears as it should, there is no illusion to be seen there.

[Coden Rokos (Jesse H.)]

Coden turns to his companions and says, "These um, ladies, are apparently using some illusions to disguise themselves. I'll refrain from specific details. I expect that they are used to bartering in these soul-worms and are trying to get a little something extra for themselves out of the deal, especially the one lurking about invisibly."

"Say the word Centurion..."

Disbelief attempt: Rolled a 20 on the Saving Throw vs Spells.

'Muiko stifles a gag.

<Ping Coden "Point out the invisible one and I will do what I can to make them visible".>

At Coden's direction, 'Muiko will cast Dispel Magic, hoping to catch the third hag and make her visible for Attilius to skewer (should the word be given).

@bob
'Muiko is trying to not telegraph anything; please roll for me regarding all three rolls Psionic Mimicry, Somatic Concealment and the Dispel itself.

[Niachi]

Niachi keeps shaking his head no, with an air of bemused disappointment. The scorched air forces an odd raspy cough from his throat and he briefly moves his hand to cover his mouth, thus casting Detect Invisible.

Duration: 40 rnds.
AOE: line of sight until 80 yards
When the wizard casts a detect invisibility spell, he is able to see clearly any objects or beings that are invisible, as well as any that are astral, ethereal, or out of phase. In addition, it enables the wizard to detect hidden or concealed creatures (for example, thieves in shadows, halflings in underbrush, and so on). It does not reveal the method of concealment or invisibility, except in the case of astral travelers (where the silver cord can be seen). It does not reveal illusions or enable the caster to see through physical objects. Detection is a path 10 ft. wide along the wizard's line of sight to the range limit.

[DM Bob]

The dispel goes off...

You hear a scream of pain as a tall, bluish skinned woman, er, monster-woman becomes visible. She stands flanking Attilius to his left and about ten feet distant as if she was trying to sneak behind the party.

And then she starts burning.

And burning some more.

Practically cindering.

Man. I hope no one hits you guys with a dispel upon your protections versus this plane.

Let's go to initiative as Niachi sees no more hidden threats... well, take that back. Something threatening is detected behind the tent, but it obscures it too much with the nature of this place.

[Niachi]

"Behind the tent!"

(OOC: will roll inish and stuff after dinner and paying some bills.)

"I think these lot have tricked many hapless souls in their days yes. Not sure if they have been tricked that many times themselves. But we ain't getting tricked either." Quila nods to her diminutive tari friend.

Quila manifests her power for intuitively feeling the safest path forward, preparing her for whatever may come next. She makes sure to stay close to Niachi and grabs her staff of withering.

(OOC:

Initiative, rolled 2, dex -2, using psionics, so adjusted initiative: 1

Rolled 12 on 19-20 for Safe Path, costing 6 PSP, so 140/146 PSP

Effect: -2 to AC, +4 on saves. Effective AC is now 1.)

[Coden Rokos (Jesse H.)]

Since things have heated up, Coden shifts his position to bring his spear to bear and takes a stab at one of the hags.

(Initiative 9)
(Hit AC 3 for 4 damage)

[Niachi]

Initiative: rolled 7, modified by Dex and spellcasting: 6

Niachi scampers to get eyes on all targets and winds his arm back behind him. A reek of
forge-red iron heats the air further and a long dagger that draws all light into its inky perfection
is suddenly in that hand. He launches the weapon at the hag not yet attacked in a movement that lifts his boots four feet from the fireground. Another dagger congeals into his hand and this next attack bends him double.

Mental Daggers: L3
Attacks: 2/rnd, +2 weapon,  4 daggers total
each costs 1/4 of his PSPs
Rolled 1. The weapon arcs off into the horizon, perhaps forever searching for a heart to impale.
Rolled 6. Hits AC 4, damage 3

The tempest howls in searing joy as battle is upon us.








Cat's Guidance: Dex 22, +4 Rx and initiative bonus, +4 missile AT, -5 AC bonus
