Triel raged at both Alonia and EtheIzz'Min.  She eyed them both dangerously, her face seething with rage.<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">Scourge of Fangs (aka the "Whip of Fangs" each head has a BAB +5; +10 AB after enhancement bonus is applied for Triel's.  The heads attack "independently", but are directed by the priestess, so it takes her action(s) to do so.  Thus a full attack action allows all of the heads to attack.)<br/><br/><span class="bbc_u">Attack Rolls (vs. Alonia, and up to AC 14 allowing for Dex and Feats bonuses to apply)</span><br/><br/>At 2014-04-10 23:08:05, sleepingferret (uid: 2761) rolls: 1d20a10 DC: 14 Result: 14 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=56894)<br/>At 2014-04-10 23:08:01, sleepingferret (uid: 2761) rolls: 1d20a10 DC: 14 Result: 19 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=56893)<br/>At 2014-04-10 23:07:57, sleepingferret (uid: 2761) rolls: 1d20a10 DC: 14 Result: 27 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=56892)<br/>At 2014-04-10 23:07:51, sleepingferret (uid: 2761) rolls: 1d20a10 DC: 14 Result: 25 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=56891)<br/>At 2014-04-10 23:07:41, sleepingferret (uid: 2761) rolls: 1d20a10 DC: 14 Result: 22 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=56890)<br/><br/><span class="bbc_u">Damage Rolls (for above attacks)</span><br/>Scourge of Fangs (aka the "Whip of Fangs" each head inflicts 1d2-2 damage; Triel's whip does 1d2+3 after enhancement bonuses are included.  The victim suffers from wracking pains which impose a -4 penalty to attack rolls, skill checks, and ability checks for 2d4 rounds.  A successful Fortitude save DC 19, reduces the penalties to -2.  If victim to multiple attacks while the penalties are NOT cumulative, duration can be added... and if the victim has passed his/her Fortitude save, he/she is required to make another save if attacked again.)<br/>  <br/>At 2014-04-10 23:10:54, sleepingferret (uid: 2761) rolls: 1d2a3 Result: 5 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=56899)<br/>At 2014-04-10 23:10:52, sleepingferret (uid: 2761) rolls: 1d2a3 Result: 4 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=56898)<br/>At 2014-04-10 23:10:49, sleepingferret (uid: 2761) rolls: 1d2a3 Result: 5 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=56897)<br/>At 2014-04-10 23:10:44, sleepingferret (uid: 2761) rolls: 1d2a3 Result: 5 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=56896)<br/>At 2014-04-10 23:10:39, sleepingferret (uid: 2761) rolls: 1d2a3 Result: 4 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=56895)<br/></div></div><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><strong>Feelings in Faith to the Spider Queen</strong><br/>Location: Arach-Tinilith, Prayer Studies<br/><div class="floatright"><strong>Mistress Iraeuitna Dyrr</strong><br/>(http://grimstonestudios.com/files/iraeuitna_dyrr.jpg)</div><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>Mistress Iraeuitna Dyrr raised an eyebrow and smiled, as she listened to Ameesril.  "You have learned well young one." she paused, "But much to learn you still have.  Lolth doesn't take joy in our suffering, only in the joy of those who fail or displease her." she looked around the room, before continuing.<br/><br/>"I would surely think, that Mistress Haelra would have helped demonstrate that just a few moments ago to all of you.  The Spider Queen my dear Acolytes, may enjoy chaos and take pleasure in suffering, but she is our protector.  Therefore as long as we are faithful, then she would see her faithful happy because she knows, that those that are happy are likely to serve her will with greater passion and determination.  Sure, you might argue, that well if I were suffering in someway, I would have greater determination to seek the Spider Queen's favor.  Which is also true, but remember... we are all suffering from an age old hatred of our former 'kin'.  And always remember, the Spider Queen doesn't just grant her favor on a whim, it must be earned and it is something she can just as easily take away.  Your faith and devotion will always have to be proven, as she wants to ensure that you truly are both worthy of her aid and worthy to serve amongst her clergy." Mistress Iraeuitna finished.<br/><br/>Mistress Iraeuitna returned her look to Ameesril, "But for the truly faithful my child, sacrifice mortal comforts, one should not.  They may seem like an unnecessary luxury, which that they may be.  However, such mortal things aren't things the Spider Queen concerns herself with, unless they interfere with one's faithfulness or ability to serve her will."<br/><br/><br/><hr/><strong>You Again, What do you want, this time?!</strong><br/>Location: Sorcere, Conjuration studies<br/><div class="floatright"><strong>Master Jevan Shobalar</strong><br/>(http://grimstonestudios.com/files/jevan_shobalar.jpg)</div><br/><br/><br/>Hearing its own language the Barbazu turned around and looked at Xullim, "And what is it to you, what business I have with this one?" the devil asked in Infernal.  When Master Jevan heard Xullim speak up, he raised an eyebrow, both since Xullim almost never speak unless basically forced to and since he had just spoken in infernal, something not exactly something common.  Well amongst arcane spellcasters it was a tad more common to know such languages, but the young student had never really seemed the type to know such things.<br/><br/>Master Jevan sat back on his desk, considering whether or not to stop the now, new turn of events.  However, he figured as long as the Barbazu behaved itself he would merely sit back.  He did after all, have a specially prepared enchanted emerald in hand, and he knew the devil's true name, so the Barbazu wasn't exactly going anywhere.<br/><br/>"Well go on, tell the lad... how many failures of 'Apprentices' have I given to you?  Or what other gifts have I given you, over the past several years." Master Jevan coaxed the devil, in Infernal.<br/><br/>
