[Flying Dice]

Rod pondered the crystals for a moment, staring at the agonized faces. Now, he was neither stupid nor uncomplicated, but when confronted with things which are clearly not conducive to one's sanity, it is often best to play that role particularly well. Therefore, he thought to himself...

"Shiny!"

Collect crystals.

Rod didn't want to know much about the milky-white shards, but he couldn't help recognizing that it wasn't usual to see the faces of (presumably) trapped souls in scraps of rock which had once been subjected to substantial heat and pressure. They were strange, and in his experience, strange equated to useful. Or possibly amusing, though this didn't seem to be much like that bizarre man with the striped shirt and facepaint he had once used to distract his old manager at the accounting fir—ah, that tribe of orcs at the something-or-other. Yes, that was certainly what he meant.

Kahn lunges at the thing!

3+8+4 vs 2+4
Taken by surprise, Kahn's spear easily penetrates Zalgo's skin and goes through his ribs. 9 damage dealt.

Zalgo doesn't react to the spear sticking out of him. However, red blood slowly seeps from the wound.

Ire says,

Harmless!

Right then, a spear erupts from between two of Zalgo's ribs.

3 He repeats, "Harrmless."

Azastre 1 aims at the heads of his various allies, earning a strange look from Sandra.

3,3,2= 10pt to Aiming.

Being close up, it doesn't help much ...

Sandra 2 takes a few steps back, still looking shocked.

Ace says, "Why spirits?"

Zalgo does not understand.

Arianna purchases it all and goes up the stairs.

Jack 6->2 kicks one of the splinters and snaps it in half. With the high-pitched sound of wind escaping, and along with it faint screams and shrieks. They seem to be saying something, 1 and Jack listens.

The voices speak of pain, depravity, death, and, strangely, kittens.

Jack is now insane! Jack has a small chance of seeing things or hearing voices. He also collects 5 Soul Crystal.

Rod 4,5 collects 5 Soul Crystal, snapping off the white structures nonchalantly. He is busy sorting out the orcs-and-manager thingy and ignores the voices of the damned.

[Caellath]

(( :> Skyrunner.))

Azastre facepalms as his movements are misunderstood once again.

Azastre tries to appease Sandra and gets back to training Aiming by detaching the box magazine and aiming at both Zalgo and the crystals. No aiming at allies' heads.

Arianna took in the strange sights of the new floor. Glossless black tiles illuminated by ghostlight chandeliers, strewn with strange white crystals while Kahn stuck a spear through an emaciated but upright corpse.

"...What is going on here?" she finally asked her allies.

[Caellath]

"...What is going on here?" she finally asked her allies.

Azastre uses a mix of gestures, interpretative dance and monosyllabics to tell her something in the lines of

"We got here and this creature was here. He hasn't attacked anyone so far, but he appears to be dangerous, we can't find a way out and there are crystals strewn everywhere."

[SeriousConcentrate]

[IronyOwl]

"...I see..."

Arianna sized the creature up a moment before speaking, trying to ignore Kahn's presence. Emaciated, eyeless, strong grip, warrior's sword. Clearly some sort of- wait, was that blood? Most undead didn't bleed, as far as she was aware... hrm...

She strode forward, giving the "undead" a respectful berth while closing to official conversation range. She planted herself rather firmly and began speaking.

"I am Arianna Salgrief, rogue death knight and seeker of the Tower," she said, loudly and clearly at the eyeless figure. "Who and what are you, Emaciated One, and why do you remain here?"

Ask questions, train Diplomacy!

"Harmless!"

"Harrmless."

"...What is going on here?" she finally asked her allies.

Ire turned to face the death knight while pointing at the one other thing that wasn't naturally with their group after Azastre spoke. "Not good."

"It doesn't appear to know why it exists, and addresses us as spirits..."

She held her arms up as a gesture of peace.

"Sooooo...um, you're hurt?"

Spoiler: Ire Fidel (click to show/hide)

Background: Known to be a deviant person, Ire was brought up with knowledge of the law and it's rapport with the common people. Living her life as a lone vigilante in the prime cities, stopping would-be-muggers and thieves, she has learned most of her own skills from the people she tracks.

Ironically, she has never taken a life nor stolen without repaying back, in anyway whatsoever.

Due to all this, she is partly allergic to rope.
