Turn 53
[5] Inquisitor kept running towards the settlement, watching the sky for signs of demigoddess. He was able to see a shape moving extremely fast. It was far away and getting close to mountains. Reynald hastened and finally got to the settlement - it was a huge metropoly swarming with monstrosities. The cathedral illuminated by candle light seemed to be the only safe spot, but to get there, inquisitor would have to get inside the walls first.
[6] Alexander helped Ghatzu get up and they moved on, getting to keep's entry and then to courtyard. Peasant kinda felt where they should go, but it seemed that it was a place far away. They'd have to traverse through forests and beyond to reach it.
[1 +2] Spectral dragon tried to sense if there are any enemies in those crypts. There was one, and it was another one of those brutes, only larger, armored and weilding a great hammer. It was heading in their direction.
I met Seymour a while ago, he was with a demigoddess named Lyirah. - Pguhyuh reported.
[2]
You've met Seymour? So the old legend is still among us? He may be an invaluable asset for us. - Cilber replied.
Demonologist decided to ask about Daemei:
Before I leave and start my search, can I ask something? What happened to the last Daemei King? What was the curse?[4]
Their king was banished, but there was no Underworld at that time - it was created by gods when they meddled with humans. It is unknown what happened to him. As for the curse, it's responsible for their transformation into demons. It changed their bodies and made them insane. - Archangel said.
This is the Underworld, right? How do I leave the Underworld? My powers are too weak to be able to create something like a portal. - Pguhyuh asked once again.
[5]
While the gates to Underworld are open and monstrosities roam the world, this is not Underworld. If you came here with Jeramesh, you couldv'e travelled through it. Take this... - Cilber opened his hand and it burst in flames. A strange, glowing glass shard appeared in his hand.
This is a shard of Underworld. With this, you can open portals to the Abyss. Once you're there, you have to find a second portal and link it with first one. The second portal will lead you where you wish. Be aware that travelling through that part of Underworld is extremely dangerous. - Cilber gave Pguhyuh the shard.
Hello, my apologies if I am interrupting something. - Lysander approached group by an altar.
[5]
Ah, I see that your friends have followed you! - Cilber exclaimed.
There is something interesting in this human... - archangel said to undead sorcerer.
How do you think the rest are faring? - Serrana asked her companion. She felt they had a better eye for what was going on than she did. Especially since she spent most of her time in hiding when the undead attacked.
[1] She tried to invoke faith healing, but nobody needed healing. By trying to force it, she exhausted herself and couldn't use any of her skills!
Dennis is in a bit of a talkative mood, and relates his opinions to Serrana:
Well, I know that Aaron ran off with V. They're probably killing undead. Or they are dead. Could be either way by now. Most likely, whatever it is, it involves dragons and bombs and whatnot. - Duke replied, then after a while of pondering said:
Quiz left wit' one of them demon folks and the goddess. He's probably doing a bunch of right proper Knight In Shinin' Armor storybook heroisms. The demon folk probably got to fightin' each other. They had differin' views on if demons' have got feelin's and the like. I couldn't be bothered to listen too closely.Then Dennis recalled himself of the strange voice he once heard, and warned exorcist:
Oh, 'afore I forget! A ways back, some voice what sounded like a wickeder version of yours truly was telling me to treat you wrong. Now, I ain't plannin' to cause you any harm, but you should probably be careful should I get undeadified or possessed or the like. I'd stay at a distance if I were you, use that staff-shooter to stay out o' pitchfork range. - Dennis seems to recognize the awkwardness of being so blunt, but then gets distracted with another thought:
If I went bad, you and V would probably be the first to gol. Nothin' personal like, but the others are a bit of a hike. After that, I'd think Aaron would most likely kill me off. Him and 'is dragon tricks would be quite a problem if I had to take him on with just my pitchfork.[4] The two have finally reached outskirts of village, getting through hill without any problems on the road.
How 'bout you? If you happened to be a monster, which of us do you think you'd kill first? - Dennis asked as they got close to first houses.
Aaron: 1 turn to turn back into human
Pguhyuh: Received Shard of Underworld
Serrana: [2] turns cooldown on all skills
OOC
I think that I might have missed updating Serrana's skills. Instead of stopping you on your way with some monster, I placed cooldown on your skills.
Wolfchild missed a turn.
Shard of Underworld - teleport to Abyss and link a portal to travel where you wish - one portal leads to only one place, only one portal set can be active at a time
