of Anjushri, then he slowly draws hand away and the words for summoning a demon slips off from his mind.<br/><br/><em>She is.....</em><br/><br/>Anjushri had meant a lot even before Chorgath came here, and while staying here she has helped him great deal and promised a lot and provided also critical information about times ahead. So his worry, now concluded, fades away and is now replaced with<em>sorrow</em>.<br/><br/>Chorgath raises his head up and simply howls in agony of sorrow! Anjushri's gift, or curse, had broken his temperance so he embraced the sorrow of her loss wholeheartedly and felt it sting as sorrow struck with full power of his compassion! His howl joined with howling winds around the chamber, screeching agonized cry which ended with sob as he slowly used his unseen hands gently place Anjushri on her back, on dignified position with hands folded in front of her, covering the stab wound and place hands on the prayer position what she used greet the guests earlier and close her glazed over eyes.<br/><br/>Chorgath's pain was intense enough alarm even Sondok, who is keenly attuned on 'state' of things what she protect....so she felt extend of emotional harm Chorgath suffered, felting echo of his agony even if not hearing his howl.<br/><br/>But as it's way with demons, mortals and exalt alike, once there has been pain and first sting is over....it's replaced with<em>hatred</em>to source of great pain. Chorgath's breathing grew labored, not because of sorrow nor his sobs. He looks again up, to the mangy hound which is Sondok's companion, tears tainted face but crimson eyes blazing in fury while his anima manifested in forming a great white shining gear wheels slowly spinning around against the wall, anima blazing in pure horrifying white bright fury of She Who Lives By Her Name, purity and perfection of the all consuming hate as he growls loudly a command to the dog;<strong>"Catch the scent of the assailant.....track it down and <em>butcher</em> him! Permission to hunt has been granted!"</strong>After commanding the dog and through dog Sondok sensing the new orders; from seeking others now pursue assailant which had caused so much grief to her treasure has been granted. Sondok, as stalwart guardian demon who's primordial origin is none less then Malfeas, there is no fury more feared than scorned Sondok and her charms grant her frightening powers in regards retribution of tresspass or harming a property. More so as she is immortal, as granted destiny of Malfeas and written on stars she cannot be slain unless bathed blood of her daughter. As anything less cannot stop or hinder her.<br/><br/>Once sending Sondok to help pursue of the assailant(s), Chorgath now focuses on the box and the blue silk with old realm writing on it and he shouts to others who watches from above;<strong>"I advice you start departure measures, the manse is undergoing a meltdown and it may reach critical levels any point and soon after that explode. A explosion from this magnitude could wipe out Lookshy off Creation's map! So your better hurry in evacuation of the children!"</strong>Chorgath however is not planning run away, not until he very least tries to repair this and figure out how stop manse from exploding.<br/><br/>He fixes his essence analyzing gaze over to the box and the blue silk strand and reaches deep into his mind;<br/><br/><em>Hey, old man, come help us a little will you? Unless you want a shared experience how it feels be center of manse melt down.</em><br/><br/><em>Stop calling me old man! Now, let's study together and see is this repairable or is this beyond repair. Very least know who or what caused this disaster.</em><br/><br/>So together with a ancient solar crafter master and with Chorgath's own genius driven by compassion he starts study the essence signs on the box and his surroundings and figure out how to stop the manse melt down. If not, analyze then what or who is responsible for this. Assuming the box is the spot where hearthstone is supposed to spawn into but the blue silk interferes with essence flow and lets build up grow slowly up until it explodes. Familiarity to infernal essence and Adorjan works being infernal helps great deal but also there are fine sophisticated knowledge from solar side and also options what Chorgath could do stop this, or undo the blue silk.<br/><br/><div class="floatleft"><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">OOC</div><div class="spoiler_body">After bit drama of sorrow and vengeance Chorgath commands through hound Sondok to hunt down who slew Anjushri (and she may not be perhaps most powerful second circle combat demons but she is damn though and close second to one). Also her dog has perfect tracking charm so it can sniff essence trace and go hunt and Sondok and dog share same senses.<br/><br/>Anyways Chorgath uses his AESS (and normal senses) to study old realm scripture and also essence pattern around the box and silk to determine what they are, their states and ID what charm/magic they are and then figure out how to 'fix' the manse or is manse literally part of Anjushri and so upon her death it's dying as well (meaning it's hopeless to repair unless resurrecting Anjushri and that being impossible feat in Creation to do). But unable to repair Chorgath very least tries ID the essence source and type; celestial or terrestrial and determine is it from god, elemental, exalt and if exalt then what type.<br/><br/>He channels 1 WP again channel compassion to any high difficulty number task and calls up also Past Lives background feat to get +5 bonus dice plus knowledge of long past. Also he has Savant background which adds +5 dice if it anyway relates stuff which were facts in first age (including exalt essence types as that's unchanged fact).<br/><br/>His Anima power also activates for additional +4 dice for any lore/occult rolls regarding magic and overall this is magical analysis and lore for solution to the problem if any.<br/><br/>So overall I get so much dices I let ST decide are they enough to make absolute perfect analysis on the scene without calling SWILIH excellencies :P.<br/></div></div></div>
