Turn 72
[4] Renald pushed the smoke imp off himself and backed away!
[Renald: 4, Smoke imp: 1] Wanderer drawn his short bow, aimed and shot before smoke imp could recover from pain. The arrow hit right between it's second pair of eyes, tearing it's way through skull into the brain and killing the demon!
Aaron gave all newfound brimstone chunks to Lysander.
Chunks of brimstone are a symbol of the demons. Everyone should carry at least one and we have more than enough for everybody. - Pguhyuh commented on that.
Lysander can hit harder when he's got more items of demonic origin, Pghu. Sure, for day-to-day proceedings we may want to each have one, to maximize the likelyhood that someone can turn the demons neutral, but in combat, or locations where we're likely to end up in combat, it's best for him to get them all. - Aaron replied.
[2] Then dragonruler attempted to set himself ablaze with elemental maelstrom, but he failed to release even tiniest spark while in the Abyss!
[4] He shifted into ethereal dragon without too much troubles though!
[3]
Thank you, I'll put them to good use. - Lysander said taking all those chunks, then shifting his cleaver into crossbow!
Combat is exactly what we want to avoid here. Demons here might be more common and stronger than in our lands.
The Abyss is a dangerous place. When using these shards, 2 portals are created: one in the location it was used and the other is on the place we want to go.
Both are portals to the Abyss and now we need to find the exit portal that was created on this side to reach the mountains and the spear.
We need to be careful and use stealth to avoid encounters. They don't like when we enter their lands and invade their territory. - demonologist explained.
[1] Pguhyuh asked darkriders where they could find the exit portal, but they only threatened him with powerful lightning bolts shot into the sky, so he'd finally leave their fortress!
[2] The group left darkrider fortress in search of the second portal, but their journey through Abyss was extremely slow and tiring. There was no sight of the portal as well!
I've something to admit. I don't remember anything before what had happened in the fortress where I met some of you. Retrograde amnesia. We learned anatomy and other things in exorcist school. I cope with nervousness by being pretty bookish. - Serrana said as she stuck next to Pguhyuh, only for her companions to overhear.
These dark spirits; they aren't against any person or people? Because I thought we were searching for an archangel. - she asked then.
Sorry, I thought I was clear before. When I use this shard, a shortcut is created with portals. This shortcut is in the Abyss, we enter from village then exit to the mountains where I'm supossed to find the demigoddess. Once we find Lyirah we will visit the Cathedral and meet Cilber. About dark spirits, I think calling them just "spirits" would be more correct. As far as I know, angels and archangels are a kind of spirit, same with dark angels, those who wnet against gods and were banished to our land. Darkriders, Darkfallen, ghosts, they are spirits too and there are many others. Some used to be human, others have been always spirits. But if they think like us, they can be reasoned with. No one wants to die. - Pguhyuh replied to the exorcist.
[4] Roboson ran away from the zombie just before it attempted to attack again. He quickly moved back towards the village that is no longer protected by any force fields.
[5] While running, he grabbed a small pebble and focused, imbuing it with energy. The pebble started floating and gathering more rocks, forming a rock golem!
[6] Enchanter raised his bow and called for help. Suddenly a cloaked figure appeared right in front of him!
In troubles, are we? Let me do something about it! - waving it's heavily deformed hand that only had three fingers, the figure stopped time around Roboson and itself, then pointing it's finger at the zombie chasing him, demon erased the undead from existence.
[2] Then it took the hood off it's ugly head, revealing a deformed, demonic face.
Guess that you'll need to repay me somehow, am I right? Don't worry about it now. My name is Byelesebhaub, I'll come for you when your time comes! - the demon chuckled, the disappeared!
Then let us waste no time. You go for the spear, and I'll cover for you if anything tries to attack you or get to it first. - inquisitor said.
[5] Lyirah quickly ran up to the pedestal and grabbed the spear. As she touched it, her body changed! Ugly scars turned into runic scripture, ashen skin turned into gold, and hair became much younger and healthier. Gaining possession of the weapon, large parts of her memory returned, as well as the link with her father became permanent! What's more, she restored a link with her mother, though it was still very weak.
[4]
I know where we should go now! - demigoddess said, power in her voice was significantly stronger.
To the east, where scholars build grand libraries. What we seek is a library on the Aenferne, the ancient realm of Daemei! - she said, forming a whirlwind of air and opening a portal within it!

What is the difference between protection and resistance?
5 physical protection +5 physical protection + medium physical resistance gives 75% when 3 dark protection + weak dark resistance gives 50%?
Resistance makes you receive less damage overall, while protection substracts part of it from all received damage.
I'll update sheets later. Not gonna lie - there's an awesome WoT event, and after a week of being ill and tired, I have to blast it all away.
