Turn 32
[6] Wanderer turned incorporeal with great effort. Something tried to block his spirit walking powers, and he figured out it was the thing that screamed not long ago. It must be really powerful if it's able to influence his powers from deep below.
[4 +1]
What was that? - Vivian asked frightened, moving between Aaron and Dennis. She noticed that there was ghostly dust all around, probably an effect of fighting with dark spirits. She put some of it into a small pouch.
[6]
So demons are arcane beings that took on aspects over time? That is interesting, to say the least. - Reynald concluded. Seeing that others are preparing to move, he said:
Unfortunately, it seems everyone here wants to loot the keep rather than go searching for your spear. I don't want to leave them by themselves since they are not prepared for clearing out the catacombs, and Jeremiah seems to have been taken by a supernatural force. The best I can hope for is that the wanderer and his dragon heritage will serve to protect them well enough. I will aid you since your plight is urgent, and we have little time to waste. Lead on, Lyirah. - and placed the key back on a corpse of undead knight.
[1]
Hey, Demigoddess! If'n you had your magics back, would you able to bring back a dead thing? Say, an ox? - Duke asked, but this clearly offended Lyirah:
What!? I'm not a goddess of rebirth, and bringing someone back from death is a blasphemy! - she yelled at Dennis.
See? I told you! Thanks Lyirah. - Pguhyuh still argued with Lysander.
I'll tell you this once, I know more about the origin of demon kind then you ever will. - he said irritated.
You are just the kind of guy who likes being mysterious, You act as if you had the answers to the secrets of the universe, but you just want to draw attention. - Pguhyuh tried to get on his nerves, then turned to inquisitor and demigoddess:
Wait, inquisitor guy! I will go with Lyirah. I promised to help her. - he said.
Ask your demon what he's heard of the First King of Demons. - Lysander continued.
All you have said since we meet is like that. Stop being so vague and give straight answers. We clearly dont like each other now, can we stop arguing please? I dont feel like talking to you anymore. - Pguhyuh replied, trying to get this over.
I'd rather like to get along with you. Your goal is noble, and history itself agrees that it is possible. Once upon a time, demon's had a culture like ours, it was so long ago it has fallen to myth, but that does not make it any less true. It can happen again, and if you wish to see that day, I would gladly fight beside you to see it. I agree, I tire of senseless arguments, but as for why I speak in riddles, you would not like it if I spoke the full truth, simply believe me on that. - demonologist said, trying to not get Pguhyuh against him.
The problem is that I dont belive you anymore. Sorry. - Pguhyuh said.
And I don't blame you for that. - Lysander said, finally ending this argument.
[2] With that settled, the party split into two groups. Reynald, Lyirah, Pguhyuh and Smoke were about to leave the Height Keep and head east in search of Dhynn's Spear, while Dennis, Aaron, Vivian and Lysander decided to stay and secure the keep.
[6]
I think the quickest route to the east would lead through underground caverns. - Lyirah stated, then explained -
As it would allow us to get to the mountain side without bothering with undead. The problem is, that there may be dark spirits or demons on our way. We could ask Seymour for guidance. - she said, leading the way to Seymour's cavern.
[5] Before they left, Smoke used his infravision to determine from which part of the keep the noise came. He noticed a tall and skinny figure banging on reinforced cell doors that led to dungeon. The doors barely held on against the force of that being. Smoke went to others and said:
Watch out, the thing would break out of dungeon soon, and it is a strong one. - then returned to rest of his group.
[6] Lysander bonded the horned demon to himself, naming it Naablvat. He was instantly hit by the connection between their minds, getting more information about it, and what's worse, what caused it's cock to grow that big.
[1] Then demonologist tried to turn his brimstone shield back into cleaver, but for some reason it didn't work and only shot a bolt of fire in random direction!
[1] The bolt flied right at Aaron and hit him, taking chunk of his dark essence!
[1] Suddenly a loud thump and sinister laughter echoed through the keep - the thing must've broken the gate of dungeon and now is running towards them!
[Alexander: 6, Mutilated zombie: 4, Unknown man: 1] Alexander and the newcomer attacked both at the same time and peasant mistakenly hit the unknown man at his arm!
Ouch! Another undead must've crept on me! - he shouted. Mutilated zombie used this opportunity to roll a bit away from them.
Mutilated zombie: [15/30]
Naablvat: Bonded
Aaron: -10 HP, 4 turns to corporeality
Lysander: Bonded Naablvat
Vivian: Received pouch of ghostly dust
OOC
Snowstorm caused by white dragon's heritage acted like a frost shield, bringing fire damage to 10. Three [1] in a row... beautiful sight to behold...
