Having spent the night cuddled up against Miku, Aviana was feeling quite good by the time the others were ready to move out, awaking before the majority she'd taken the time to prepare the days spells, to comb her hair and tidy herself up as well as she was able. As even though they were far from any society she'd ever known, the dragon girl, liked to keep up her appearance.<br/><br/>The warmth of the neighboring corridors was quite pleasant as they set out, far more agreeable than the sweltering heat she'd left behind in the beholder's layer, the very same that'd caramelized the sticky fluids that spilled forth from the beasts bursting body onto her own "Feels nice around here, don't ya think?" she asks, swishing her tail happily as she smiles to Miku and then the others. "I trust everyone slept well? As bad as the heat was near the lake... it was a nice change getting to sleep in a dry, warm place." she comments, as much of the underdark she'd experienced thus far was on the cool, humid side one might expect when immediately venturing underground. Of course the goopy nature of the enemies they'd faced, or rather the roper at the very least, lent itself greatly to this opinion.<br/><br/>Positioning herself near the front of the party, allowing their newly acquainted slime friend to lead if she desired, being one actually familiar with the are. Aviana thinks back on the various encounters and opposition they've encountered and over come thus far on their journey. She smiles to herself, gripping the hilt of her trusty sword, at the realization that they were doing well. She'd protected her kitty from many dangerous enemies, they'd overcome plenty of situations that would have spelled the end of many like minded adventures. Each of them had displayed a level of skill and expertise in one area or another, be it Euirkova's unrivaled sneakiness, or Miku's appetite and healing abilities. Jule's strength and master at arms, and her own preference for mounting an overwhelming offense to topple their unsuspecting foes. Phylia, well she was new to the group and Aviana had not yet gotten much of a chance to get to know much of anything about her.<br/><br/>Being near the front of the party, Aviana's ears perk to the sound of metal rustling as it hangs from a body in motion, the telltale sound of an armored individual, or was it individual's.... moving just up ahead and around the bend. Raising her hand as her ears perk she asks in a hushed tone "wait...did any of you hear that..something, or someone is up ahead....to the left..... and the right." she informs the others, cupping an ear with her free hand as she listens closely to the sounds of hissing and chittering.. "Oh...and whatever is on the right doesn't sound happy..... I hope it's not anything icky...." she mutters, frowning at the memory of the dark monkeys and the beholder in particular.  Turning to Phylia she asks "you wouldn't happen to know what manner of creature may inhabit this area....one that would be be hissing and chittering up ahead?" she poses the question, curious at just how familiar the slime girl was with the underdark and it's inhabitants.<br/><br/>With the way things had been going thus far along their journey, everything they encountering wishing to kill or eat them on sight, Aviana takes a brief moment to magically bolster her defenses. It never hurt to be too careful after all, and the sounds of hissing and chittering where unlikely to come from something that merely wished to chat with them. The armor on the other hand, Aviana had high hopes for, perhaps wishful thinking, but a part of her imagined it could be another adventurer, someone they could meet up with and share battle stories, oh what fun that would be.<br/><br/>Listening closely, Aviana peers onward down the incline before them, out into the open cavern lined with jagged rocks protruding from the floor and ceiling alike, reminding her of some great beasts fanged maw.... "Ooooh what a pretty glow." she murmurs, despite her muscles being on edge, peering eagerly onward, curious to get a peek, or another listen at just what awaited them up ahead... maybe they'd even come upon a confrontation, would be able to swoop in and save someone bravely battling the hissing creature!<br/><br/><br/>Aviana<div style="padding: 3px; background-color: #FFFFFF; border: 1px solid #d8d8d8; font-size: 1em;"><div style="text-transform: uppercase; border-bottom: 1px solid #CCCCCC; margin-bottom: 3px; font-size: 0.8em; font-weight: bold; display: block;"><span onclick="if (this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display != '') {  this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = ''; this.innerHTML = '&lt;b&gt;Spoiler: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;a href=\'#\' onClick=\'return false;\'&gt;hide&lt;/a&gt;'; } else { this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = 'none'; this.innerHTML = '&lt;b&gt;Spoiler: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;a href=\'#\' onClick=\'return false;\'&gt;show&lt;/a&gt;'; }"><b>Spoiler: </b><a href="#" onclick="return false;">show</a></span></div><div class="quotecontent"><div style="display: none;"><a class="postlink" href="http://orokos.com/roll/399336">Perception</a>: <span style="text-decoration: underline">1d20+18</span> <span style="font-weight: bold">31</span><br/><br/><a class="postlink" href="http://orokos.com/roll/399337">false life</a>: <span style="text-decoration: underline">1d10+10</span> <span style="font-weight: bold">17</span><br/><br/>Along with the false life she cast upon waking, she's going to buff herself with bear's endurance and shield<br/><br/>120 hp<br/><br/>AC: 30<br/>CMD: 26<br/><br/>Arcane Pool: 10/10<br/>Raven's Pool: 3<br/><br/><br/>Prepared Spells:<br/><br/>lvl: 0<br/>Arcane Mark<br/>Detect Magic<br/>Prestidigitation<br/>Read Magic<br/>Spark<br/><br/>lvl: 1<br/><br/>Vanish<br/>True Strike<br/>Obscuring mist<br/>Shield (used)<br/>Shield<br/>Shield<br/>Shocking Grasp<br/><br/>lvl: 2<br/>Intensified Shocking Grasp x3<br/>False Life (used)<br/>Bear's Endurance (used)<br/><br/>lvl: 3<br/>Intensified Shocking Grasp<br/>Force Hook Charge<br/>Fireball<br/>Vampiric Touch<br/><br/>lvl: 4<br/>Dimension door<br/>Dimension door</div></div></div>
