Can’t seem to write like I normally could. Sorry for the delay.</div></div></div><blockquote><div><cite>Dagnyr wrote:</cite>"Call up your big friend. I make offers, she makes threats."</div></blockquote><br/><br/>Larynn sighed. She could hear Vanika cheering for joy. “If that’s the only way…” The summoner says, mentally preparing herself for the summoning ritual. Remembering the third person in the room, Larynn turns to the forgeborn guard. “Please don’t be alarmed by my eidolon. She’s… not exactly what she looks like…” Cringing at the lack of confidence in her own voice, Larynn turned around and began chanting in celestial.<br/><br/>“<span style="color: #00BFFF"> <span style="font-style: italic">You, who are bound onto me. You, who I am bound to.</span></span>”<br/>“<span style="color: #00BFFF"><span style="font-style: italic">You, who have vowed to protect and obey. You, who I have vowed to nurture and support.</span></span>”<br/>“<span style="color: #00BFFF"><span style="font-style: italic">The time has come to honor our contract, and pierce the veil between worlds. </span></span>”<br/>"<span style="color: #00BFFF"><span style="font-style: italic"> Obey the pact you have sworn, and come forth. I summon thee…</span></span>”<br/><br/>The words sounded like an extended version of the summon spell she had used earlier. As Larynn finishes the last verse, she starts over from the first verse. Amethyst light bathes the room as an asymmetrical rune appears on the ceiling. As Larynn goes through the incantation a second time, the rune lowers towards the floor, leaving behind a glowing, humanoid mass of ectoplasm as it travels further down.<br/><br/>The chant is repeated a third time. The rune manifests itself on Larynn’s forehead. The ectoplasm became more defined, taking the shape of a large, horned woman. The third round of chanting comes to an end, but instead of starting the forth round, the young aasimar says a single word to bring the ritual to a close.<br/><br/>“<span style="color: #FF0000">Vanika! </span>”<br/><br/>A bright flash and a sharp bang herald the climax of the summoning magic. The glowing mass in the middle of the symbol becomes smoke and surges outward. When the light and smoke fades, a demonic, yet familiar looking figure stands there.<br/><br/><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;">Larynn performs the 1-minute summoning ritual to bring Vanika out somewhat permanently.<br/><br/>Opposed charisma checks<br/>Larynn's Charisma Check (1d20 + 6): 16 + 6 = 22<br/>Vanika's Charisma Check (1d20 + 1): 11 + 1 = 12<br/>Larynn wins the check by more than 5.

Yes ma’am.” Vanika said between stretches. “So, where’s my hrrngh… little ‘playmate’?”<br/><br/>“In there.” Larynn answers, pointed towards cell four. “Are you ready Constable Thuror? I’ll need you to wake our sleeping prisoner.”
