Grand Poobah Posted April 25 Clone Share Posted April 25 (edited) Nizell joins Carmine at the sceptor.. "Let's take this back to the king and see what he is going to offer us for it? She also touches it, hoping to sense it's power. @Michael noting Carmine also already picked up the sceptor I think by his post. If nothing happens for them both then she will offer to grab it and take it back to the king OOC @TheFred I like your posts but Nizell is a lady of action. Regarding plans I posted in the ooc thread my thoughts...I like the idea of aligning with the king and jointly taking over the world....should things align that way. Just need to find human food.

Roughtrade Posted April 25 Clone Share Posted April 25 "Much like the Mortal Conclave, I would prefer not yet returning to the King. Not until we know what this scepter is and what it can do." Carmine counter offers. "There are things here which we do not yet understand. I would like to know more about them before handing them off to either the Frozen King or the mortals who sent us here." "We have barely stepped ten paces within this complex. Is it unreasonable to examine further? I will not insist, if the general consensus is to make the exchange. But my preference is to look for more options and perhaps other opportunities than we have now." "We may return to those odd mortals and their prophecy. It is certainly useful to have some sort of guardian during these odd cocooning stages we are experiencing. I would prefer going back with more information and less dependency on what they choose to tell us." If there are only four of us posting regularly, then I will go with what the three of you decide. Carmine/Shillereese would like to explore more. At least enough to find an exit other than jumping back through the portal. I would like to find out more about this prophecy and what it is about as well, but that may be a dead end. Or, not available here.

TheFred Posted April 25 Clone Share Posted April 25 "My focus upon retrieving the gem is hardly blind," Molgrug complains. "It is clearly a powerful artefact - the nature of which, admittedly, we do not yet understand, but why else are these mortals so intent upon acquiring it? Seizing it should be a common goal for all of us; my preference is to kill the mortals, because quite frankly I find them annoying, but it may suit our purposes to bargain with them - once we possess the thing that they value. This was, actually, my proposed second-tier objective, though given the ease of realising it one rather considers that it should have been progressed in parallel..." Seeming not to appreciate the irony of him calling anyone else annoying, Molgrug looks at Nizell with disappointment. "For once Carmine makes a valid point," he says, looking almost surprised himself. "This king may once have been a mortal of some power but I am amazed that any once-powerful generals of the Outer Planes would want to go scurrying back to a fellow who can't even move! You lot managed to rip a hole in reality with that portal and send us through to some other universe yet, despite being greatly weakened, yet, we do at least possess some basic functions such as speech and locomotion, and some of you might even be able to manage basic arithmetic. This frozen fellow can't even manage to pick up his own sceptre from a few rooms away! Weakened though we may be, I posit that we can do better on our own than throwing in with either the gelugon-wannabe or the circus of mortal weirdos. Though, we should keep the sceptre."

Grand Poobah Posted May 1 Clone Share Posted May 1 (edited) Nizell moves in next to Carmine also looking over the object with interest. "I agree, but I would also like to see what it's worth to him. Even hear from him why he thinks we are better off working with him rather than just taking what we can. If we assume it's as powerfully as any we have seen. Let's see what he will offer.

Roughtrade Posted May 5 Clone Share Posted May 5 Shillereese HP 19/19 | AC 14 | Fort 6 - Reflex 6 - Will 10 | Claw +3 (1d3+1) | Eldritch Blast +5 (1d6) After several minutes of combined conversation and concentration, Carmine snarls curses in Gith, Draconic and Infernal before pointing the rod at the northern wall, where no one has moved to yet. Growling another multilingual poem of curses and obscenities, there is a ripple of reality about them as Carmine reverts to the proper fiendish form of a Succubus. Anger and frustration combine to furrow her brow, bodice laced loosely as her décolletage threatens to burst free, arm thrust out, stamping her boots and pouting mightily in outrage that an inanimate object might defy her will; the raging emotional outburst forces the Scepter to react.

Michael Posted May 6 Author Clone Share Posted May 6 Shillereese waves the sceptre about, concentrating on what aspects of the magical aura she can detect, and possibly understand. There's a sudden drop of temperature in the room followed by a massive blast of necrotic energy which one suspects would be quite beneficial to anything undead...which isn't any of you. The entire room comes under the effect of a desecrate spell. Shillereese needs to make a DC 20 will save or be cursed and be unable to release the sceptre. The succubus suspects this is just one of many powers of the sceptre. Name xDiceName xDiceResult xDiceString xDiceRolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Poobah Posted May 6 Clone Share Posted May 6 (edited) Before Shillereese returns to her true form Nizell exits the room back the way they had come. If Shillereese was really going to use her extremely diminished skills to play with what could be an artefact for all then know, Nizell was going to get some distance.

Michael Posted May 7 Author Clone Share Posted May 7 Shillereese now has a sceptre permanently attached to one of her succubi claws. The flesh where it contacts said sceptre takes on a grayish hue...and is it spreading? Perhaps that's just her imagination.

It's neither an unfamiliar nor an unpleasant sensation for a former priest of Orcus. Kerapsis looks at the graying coloration that has spread on Shillereese's hand. "Well at least we have a inkling of what it's capable of, but don't expect me to be able to do anything about... that," she gestures to the gray coloration. "It's going to take some time before I have the strength to wrestle with curses again." "We could return to the lich, perhaps he'll have some insights into your current situation.

Grand Poobah Posted May 7 Clone Share Posted May 7 (edited) Billows of laughter erupt from the doorway as Nizell catches her first glimpse of Shillareese. Somewhere between a kookaburra a yodel and a snake hiss, Abyssal laughter is not the most pleasant of sounds. "Well you did well!, the Lich thought you may have killed everyone. He was in the middle of warning not to activate it when he sensed your attempt. Says it aligns with the planes and probably needs adjusting " "I explained our preference to take over the mortal world as well as our neet to regularly consume mortals, his response was that none of it conflicts with his interests, or at least the land above is big enough that we can share. With the sceptre he can provide egress from this complex to several places above, and would even allow you to have some parts of the complex as our own base to come and go as we please."
