╞═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╡

At least that's what you thought would happen.

A pleading Ariana lied in front of you. You swiftly scooped her up and flew into an ancient ruined building and set her down.

[Xantalos]

Nope, we're an extra dimensional piece of ectoplasm or something that's defined as it is when it's given a name - in essence, when we get summoned, the magician that summoned us controls our soul and we have to follow his/her commands, but if we kill our summoner our bonds are broken and we get to go back to the Other Place, our home dimension. Nothing stopping us from slaughtering humans en masse (that's part of the plot of the last book, actually) apart from most of the spirit's general disinterest in the act and the magicians telling us not to.

[LordBucket]

In that case I think we need some game clarifications before we proceed. The stuff that Xantalos is saying is not anything I would have guessed based on what I've seen in the thread.


PrivateNomad: what exactly are the rules here?

[Xantalos]

Here, this might help a bit.

[LordBucket]

Kind of want to hear it from the GM. I don't remember seeing anything anywhere from him about these books you're talking about. And double checking the opening post, and there's no mention of it anywhere except in his signature to a totally other thread.

[Xantalos]

Hmm, well I may be assuming a bit too much, but the setting seems to be fairly consistent with what I've read.

[LordBucket]

The names all seem to match, but it looks to me like those books are set in a modern alternate universe London, whereas we seem to be in ancient biblical Jerusalem, circa Kings I.

Anyway, yeah...PrivateNomad, would you clarify what the rules are here? A few of us seem to be running with different assumptions, and I'm probably not the only person in this thread who's never read these books. I note for example, that my entire plan from a couple pages ago would probably not be valid if what Xantalos is saying is correct. I wanted to take Ariana back to our native dimension and enslave her. But Xantalos is saying that we don't even have an individual consciousness except when we're manifest here. So...stuff like this sort of needs to be sorted out.

[Icefire2314]

Nor have I read the books.

Inquire of Ariana exactly what has been going on since her last summoning of you, and why she summoned us. Do our best to keep Ariana alive, for now.

[Funk]

Yes Lets talk to her as we treat her wounds.

[PrivateNomad]

Xantalos is correct. Forgot to add that to the OP, sorry.
╞═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╡

   You look down to the girl whom is bleeding profusely from her her missing foot. You turn a head; no medical supplies whatsoever. Well, only one way to stop the bleeding. You conjure a hot inferno into your claws and lob it at the end of her bleeding leg. She screams in excruciating pain as it crudely effectively seals the wound and stops the bleeding.
 "I could kill you at any time. What in the -hell- happened?"
 "T-t-the war... We were under orders to collect the Amulet of Samarkand from them for King Solomon..." she explained, still wincing in pain. The Amulet of Samarkand? That must have been that aura reading you got while in the pentacle.
 "Alright, you're safe. What do you want me to do now?" you ask in boredom. She suddenly shoots her finger out the window.
 "HORSE!" she screams out.
 "Yes, this is a lot of horse sh-" you say until being interjected by the sight of the afrit's fiery equine figure, standing right outside the window.

 "Uh oh." you simply say. You really don't feel like dying right now.
