<span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>Elvas'thrae</strong> (http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheetview.php?sheetid=328296)</span><br/><div class="floatleft">(http://i996.photobucket.com/albums/af84/Kazzaroth_photos/Drownoblemage2.jpg)</div><strong>HP:</strong>25/43<br/><strong>AC:</strong>22 (flat 20, touch 12)<br/><strong>Status:</strong>Normal<br/><strong>Effects:</strong>Mage Armor (greater) (11 hours), Master's Touch (11 mins), Repelling Shield (9 minutes), Mass Flight (110 minutes), Arcane Sight (11 minutes), Assay Spell Resistance (7 minutes, vs devils only)<br/><hr/><br/>Elvas is now alone with the yochlol in the crumbling tomb. He rises up to stand and first thing he does is to press his belt. He had used it before for Faeremhara to heal her but he used remaining energy to heal himself up in red glow coming over to his wounds.<br/><br/>OOC: Using last 2 charges in belt of healing for 2d8+3 cure. Cured himself 11pts dmg.<br/><br/>Then Xyhri spoke and Elvas then sighs and says; "So, if her thoughts were cut off in that killing blow it means she died and then something kept her body moving and acting. Also despite how true that devil's words were it was not her doing.....as I saw no charm magic active nor triggered in Aeriyon. But how in abyss name Aeriyon would go strike matron mother? Only a insane amount of gold would drive him perform open murder and it means he cannot stay in the city at all. Hmmm, Faeremhara's daughter no doubt would take the reins of the house next upon her demise. As I said before I serve Lolth and her will and serve the strongest best of my ability without selling my life cheaply."<br/><br/><em>And considering if Faeremhara was already dead, she moved to first daughter's side to be teleported away. Meaning Aeriyon hirer may very well be someone who wants Abuxuel to lead the house if not Abuxuel herself. As she cannot openly kill her own mother even if her magical prowess surpasses a lot hers power. So hiring someone make a public murder and run off draws attention from figuring out who really killed Faeremhara. But then again.....yochlol may had observed, judged and then whispered Aeriyon as her indirect tool but yochlols are far above using such roundabout way to get rid of matron mother who displeased Lolth. Also why she concerned over knight and her mount? Did she measure them too besides whole house?</em><br/><br/>Elvas then looks on yochlol and says to her; "I take it you came not as blessing of Lolth....but as investigator in her behalf. The change in power in house is always moment of weakness despite whoever replaces former matron mother. As alliances, deals and even house functions go to bit chaos always when change in power occurs. It never goes smoothly even best of times. No doubt you will take measure of Abuxuel and everyone in the house, so I let you enter my mind and dig whatever proofs you need assure my loyalty to the house and in my own faith of Lolth despite my origin from city where male arcanists rule instead priestesses."<br/><br/>Now Xyhri who had felt solid brick wall between her prodding to mage's mind feels how in sudden collapse brick wall disappears and her influence finally enters to mage's mind. At first there is just hollow echo of emptiness, no emotion nor thought. Just focus but soon focus was replaced with whispers and echoes of his thoughts.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Xyhri only</div><div class="spoiler_body"><em>"...my ambitions do not break dogma of Lolth. So I have nothing to fear. Yochlols are always unpredictable and so long they cannot make certain facts out they are like mixtures what apprentice dabbles in chemistry in magic lab in his first day as a apprentice. You do not know will mixture blow up, cause colorful smoke, make apprentice run naked around the class or kill the teacher but not apprentice. Damn fool Aeriyon, because of my recommendation Faeremhara trusted him and now she died and now the bloody asshole ran off and left me deal with this! All would view me in suspicion if I walked away now and no matron mother would trust me or can kill me outright if they dig my background even if I go another city to try again become house mage."</em><br/></div></div><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Abduxuel</div><div class="spoiler_body"><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=132283.msg6679965#msg6679965">Quote from: PaleEnchantress on 31-07-2012, 03:01:41</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">Abduxuel:<br/>HP: 64/79 (22 AC, F 11, Ref 11, Will 17) ~ Micar: Hp 89/129 (21 AC, F 21, R 14, W 15)<br/>Heart of Water, Fallse Life, Heart of Air, Voice of the Dragon, Circle Magic, Alter Form, Mage Armor, Haste<br/><br/>The pieces were in place. The Matron's will was strong but with enough effort Izerel was able to slip into her body. Evil people were always more vulnerable to his powers. Possession was subtle and there was no indication to her or anyone else that things were different. Even the easiest way to identify a posessing fiend was by the aura of evil they resonate, and Faeremhara already had one. <br/><br/>"I am enjoying this too... I suppose we will see who can get the most pleasure out of this experience." The first daughter crooned out. She was about to check on the position of the Dvati when the lithe serpentine stranger attacked Faeremhara when her attention was elsewhere. <br/><br/>Izerel may have been a bit screwloose but he didn't need to be told about the opportunity that just fell in his lap. He was the first person in the room who knew that Aeryion's attack was fatal. Once she was dead, it left only his will controlling her shell. <br/><br/>The sudden attack shocked Abduxuel until the Brachina claimed credit. Her bluff fooled Abduxuel and the males that worked for her, but the necromancer didn't see her employ any powers to control the serpentine assassin so she wondered if it wasn't simply mundane trickery. Has Abduxuel known that the devil wasn't involved she would have turned on her. Now though she was satisfied that her work was completed. <br/><br/>"You have all failed in your duty to protect me! Back away from me you wretched fools. My daughter Abduxuel will return me to the safety of our keep" Izerel said through the body of Faeremhara. The bluff was merely a means to make tings go as smoothly as possible while also keeping them entertaining. Even if someone called the ruse it wouldn't change who was in control. <br/><br/>Before Abduxuel could react the Brachina's spell struck. Abduxuel relied on magic as a defence and got hit hard by the spell and was knocked away. Micarmur'ss just let out a grunt and took the punishment but quickly moved when the ceiling started to collapse. Izerel had to react quickly or get blown away from the rest of his alliance. Luckily he was able to avoid getting blasted toward the brachina. The falling Debris almost collapsed on top of him, such a thing would have buried Faeremharas body and prevented Abduxuel from using it. He was glad to have avoided the collapse and, more importantly, avoid his mistresses ire. Now he stood next to Micar and Abduxuel.<br/><br/>As Abduxuel rose Pain shot through Micarmur'ss body. Abduxuel was draining her brothers life to power another teleportation spell. The foul magic of Abduxuel's belt ravaged Micar worse than the brachina's spell did, yet even in such a utilitarian fashion being hurt by his brother turned him on. <br/><br/>"Retreat for now. Make sure the mage, the reptile, and mother's consort all make it back to the house. We have much to discuss!" Abduxuel commanded, then called out genuine threats in an unsettling affectionate tone. "Now you naughty little devil, If you bother my house again I'll assume you wish to join my precious family. Until then remember. Mother is watching for you..." <br/><br/>Abduxuel's brain felt like it had been struck with a burning needle as she sacrificed some of her own reasoning power to augment the recently acquired teleport spell. In a split second the teleport was quickened and cast. Mother Hunger and all her children were brought away from the ghetto and back into the safety of house Llaeoth. The reign of Abduxuel Llaeoth was soon to begin. <br/><br/>Micar's thoughts for Xhri: <br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body"><em>"Wow the matron is still alive after that? I guess my Abduxuel can still finish her off... Oh Yes! Yes Brother Take this body! It's yours to use. This house is unworthy of being under your beautiful control" <br/></em></div></div><br/>Roll Results: Abduxuel Got a 19 Ref Save (failed), Myzriel was Immune, Micarmur'ss got a 30 (Success), Izerel for a 27 (Success) - To Avoid Being Burried Micar 30 (Success), Izerel 15 (Success) <br/>Linking a lot of rolls is real messy but I used this site so you can look in my roll history to confirm if you like.<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>After a moment Abduxuel's arrival to back to the house, he/she notices they did not come without a passenger.....she/he had sensed someone had latched onto their teleportation spell as extra passenger! She/he had felt extra pressure when they traveled, like carrying more than he should but additional arcane power kept pressure not rupturing....but uncomfortable.<br/><br/>Then in room besides Abduxuel and his gang was the female devil herself who was smiling and said; <strong>"I held my end of the bargain, as I told I need corpse of Faeremhara and you can take control of the house as you see fit as it does not interest me. Her demise is what for I am here."</strong><br/></div></div>
