<strong>Reliyian Isilivanthar – The Twisted Garden</strong><br/><br/>Reliyian paused as Aeryn cleared her shoulder from the foul substance the plant left behind, “Indeed. And thank you.” Reliyian stayed behind several feet as the others went about their work. Eshalu took stock of the area while Aeryn approached the wall as a seasoned archeologist; Reliyian nodded in silent approval of the well-ordered work. Reliyian gave a brief nod of acknowledgement to Eshalu’s warning. She hadn’t sensed any particularly malevolent power at work but then again evil did its best while hidden.  As Aeryn went finding discoveries, Reliyian circled the small area slowly, not wishing to disturb the doctor. Until Aeryn appeared finished and shared her thoughts with the carvings in the stone. As though Aeryn had read Reliyian’s thoughts, the doctor moved to the side to let her through. Leaning down, she ran her finger (a familiar sight by now) tracing the rough carvings, mesmerized by them in fact. There were few times when the abundant lore in the books of the Tower found their home in the world. So for her, this was a truly magical moment. Her mind following the lines like following a path towards an unknown destination; the dreich surroundings faded back in her mind, the gloomy colors of the vegetation blended into an impressionist canopy portraying a dark place instead of being one.<br/><br/>“I have seen these before. The dwarves catalogued what they could of the Vuali writing, which is what this is, at great cost. Their conflict a source of many legends. It is complex but I believe between the two of us and a little time we could translate.” She wasn’t really considering the consequences as she gripped one of the embedded vines, partially obscuring a symbol, and attempted to shift it to the side, “Actually I am quite certain we ca...” A strange pop sound and suddenly Reliyian was tumbling backwards as the putrid smell of the spray assaulted her, “Blgwah!” The danger becoming very real, very quickly as thrashing dark strands crisscrossed everywhere around her. Her orb responded to her mental command, partially dislodging from its pouch as she reached for it. Reliyian’s skin became icy to the touch, as vines touched her magical cold penetrated into them and they turned brittle. They cracked and snapped easily as she pulled away. But they were numerous, the gooey liquid dripping off and making warm splashes on her skin until one had wrapped around her ankle and upended the elf. Reliyian landed with an “Hnnruph!” bumping hard on the ground.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Fate Stuff 1</div><div class="spoiler_body">Summary: At 2013-05-17 13:24:13, Robyn Hood (uid: 15876) rolls: 4d3a-8 Result: 1 (http://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=46406)<br/>Comment: Stormcaller defense roll<br/><br/>+1 dice, +4 skill going to take the 1 physical stress box, I’m a little worried about what is coming next before using fate points &gt;_&lt;<br/></div></div><br/>Looking upwards she saw the dark forms circling like streaks of black against the sky. She didn’t recognize the shapes immediately until they descended like arrows, “Look out!” Reliyian knew she had to protect herself from the sharp beaks and talons but decided to first focus her effort on the attacking plant. The thought would have made her laugh had the thing not just pulled her to the ground. Gathering up her power, she focused on the cold once more but this time letting loose with a freezing blast. From the orb a concentrated icy mist jetted like a geyser into the core of the twisted vines.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Fate Stuff 2</div><div class="spoiler_body">Summary: At 2013-05-17 21:02:57, Robyn Hood (uid: 15876) rolls: 4d3a-8 Result: 0 (http://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=46408)<br/>Comment: Stormcaller attack against the plant<br/><br/>Attack! +0 dice, +4 skill for a <strong>great</strong> result!<br/></div></div><br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Description and Picture(s)</div><div class="spoiler_body"><div class="floatright">(http://i986.photobucket.com/albums/ae348/Stef82K/Private/Reliyian/reliyian_dress_zps984739ed.jpg)</div>Description: Her hair is fine like silk, pale as the winter sun and highlighted with streaks of lavender dye made from crushed berries. Her eyes beautiful, pearlescent orbs of pale sage are set against her light skin that when the light strikes her has a feint golden glow dotted by freckles from her face to her shoulders.  She smiles, you think, the expression is too faint to be sure. Even her mouth seems to shimmer with a soft glossy pink. Her ears are long, ending in perfect points. Reliyian wears a blue strapless dress held up by her impressive figure and by crisscrossed silver thread across an open back, wide enough to reveal most of it in a V-shape to the slight curve at the base of her spine. Long detached sleeves ended in golden lace that was also embroidered throughout the dress. Her skirt ending just above her ankles below which you see her golden lace low heeled sandals, it has a slight up the left side exposing much of her supple leg to where you can just make out the curve of her hip.<br/><br/><table class="bbc_table"><tbody><tr><td><strong><span class="bbc_u">Stats</span></strong></td><td></td><td><strong><span class="bbc_u">Consequences</span></strong></td></tr><tr><td>Refresh: 2</td><td></td><td>Mild: - </td></tr><tr><td>Fate Points: 3</td><td></td><td>Moderate: - </td></tr><tr><td>Physical Stress (Physique) </td><td>[X] [2] </td><td>Severe: - </td></tr><tr><td>Mental Stress (Will) </td><td>[1] [2] [3] </td><td></td></tr></tbody></table> </div></div>
