Discipline: BlinkYou have mastered the art of teleportation. You can teleport to a location that you know well or can see (Athletics). Destinations that are farther away and/or not as well known to the caster call for higher difficulties. You can also teleport other beings and objects to your location or a location near you (Provoke/Empathy) and open portals (Empathy).

Discipline: SightYou have mastered control over what you see and perceive. You can uncover hidden secrets (Investigate) and discern illusions from reality (Empathy). You can also look or listen in on places, people, or objects that you know well, no matter the distance (Empathy). These spells should increase in difficulty due to a lack of familiarity with the target and greater distances.

Stunt: Never BrokenYou gain a -8 physical consequence which recovers in the same way a -2 consequence does. (Fate System Toolkit, p.95)

 Stunt: Phantom StanceYou are adept at bobbing and weaving and phasing through attacks in such a manner that puts you in a more advantageous position to counterattack.

When you succeed in a defensive Athletics roll using this technique, you gain +1 on your next attack against the opponent or tried to hit you. If you succeed with style, gain +2.

Original Stunt:

The Drunkard’s Stagger. You sway and stagger on your feet, evading enemy blows seemingly by chance. When you succeed in a defensive Athletics roll using this technique, you gain +1 on your next attack against the opponent who tried to hit you. If you succeed with style, gain +2.

It was true, he was quite the wayfinder, though it was no natural skill; much ( if not all ) was due to his divine discipline granted by the Mischievous Aku. After a time in this Blighted Marshland, he came to a sudden halt, raising a hand for the others to do the same and dropped to one knee almost as quickly; Vahn ran featherlight fingers along the rim of a massive footprint and grinned a reckless grin.

"I think we might have found our troll.." declared he in a hushed tone.

With a half-handed prayer and one eye closed, he pushed his spirit through the marshland smoke.

"Well, there's our beast. I'll cast spells from behind, you all go ahead." He looks around at the others before stepping back. "Does anyone have any particular strategy on how to deal with that thing? I can cast whatever spells we need, but I'm no troll hunter."

"Hush!; do no alert the creature!;.." Vahn viewed the World through the hastened lens of a spirit unshackled by the laws of physics. It was often difficult to control and he often found himself losing-sight of those imperious tracks embedded into the blistering muck. And now it almost felt as though there was resistance, that the marsh itself had a will of its own, a will that belonged to the dangerous foe in their sights.

"Prepare yourselves!; this will be no simple skirmish.." Earth, muck and fog sped across his mirrored sight as the tail-end of a track caught at the edge of awareness and he veered the spirit towards the source.

Vahn led everyone through the fog to an ordinary looking marshy puddle with scarce vegetation. The footsteps could no longer be found, but he had no need for them for he knew that the Troll was submerged in the muddy water, which explains why it had been difficult to locate. It remained submerged and motionless, waiting for some unaware prey to pass by.

Wielding the Charged Rapier, Olenna would point it towards the sky and being twirling it in a fast paced motion. Quickly the sky would grow with a large grey cloud that centered over top of the troll. Olenna would end her twirling of the blade by quickly slicing through the air until her blade touched the ground in front of her. 

Her action quickly unleased multiple lighting bolts that shot from the sky and onto the Trolls position. 

Olenna attempts to create the Thunder Storm Aspect. 

• Using Olenna's Stunt Song of the Storms to gain a free invoke on her action. 
• Olenna invokes her personal aspect of The Legendary Charged Rapier to bring the result to a +4.

Active Aspects:  Notes on the path ahead [1x free invoke]

Aerith looks around worriedly, and his ring begins to glow. "Let negative energy flow through the charged rapier of Olenna, that she may smite whoever would strike us down" and with that aerith takes a small knife out and pricks his arm, the crimson flowing like smoke through the air and attempting to bind to her rapier, creating the Dark Smite of the Necromancer aspect, well trying to at least.

[Gambitt]

Aerith mixed dark energy into Olenna's charged rapier as she called upon the thunder storm. As a result, the clouds and lightning took on a darker hue than Olenna was accustomed to. 

As soon as the dark lightning bolts hit the water, angry roaring could be heard from beneath the surface. The troll escaped out of the conductive wetlands it had been hiding in, obviously angry, but too dazed to realize the three adventurers standing at the ready to strike it.

It was no wonder that they could not find the troll!

Vahn clapped his hands together..

..and a fox appeared before him, floating in the air, bearing an eerie grin; there was a jingle of small bells and a door in the form of an archway appeared before them, translucent and glimmering as if only half-real, just tall enough for one to walk through; it appeared to be fading.

"I'll draw its attention!; Olenna, if you're coming, it's now or never!" Vahn shouted as he dashed through the portal.

Aerith stares the troll down, now being able to make eye contact with the beast he raises up a hand. "Woe be upon ye, let your muscles grow backwards and your bones turn frail, weakness spread through your veins and into your very soul." As he says this, the ground underneath the troll quivers, and a rodent's skeleton erupts from the mud, then through the water, and finally floats to the surface, one of its ribs glowing with dark-red energy as it cracks off and flies towards the beast. It will barely hurt at all, the force is only that of a splinter, but the real danger is the curse placed upon it which would be injected directly into the monster. This curse will inflict Arcane Frailty to the beast, if only it lands.
