The Sundered Way

[M0rtimer]

"Just because he ain't a real god prolly don't mean he's powerful enough to deal out a big walloping... At the least he's had these guys serving him for god knows how many years."

[Lurks_In_Shadows]

Zephyr locks eyes (faces) with the large serpent and speaks for the first time. "You speak as if you command legions and wield power, but I see nothing but a dying monstrosity hiding in the darkness. Reveal your power to me that I might know you are worthy of being served."

Is this one of those moments where all of you just took in a short breathe, rolled you're eyes and mumbled under your breath, "we're all gonna die". Could you expect any different.

► Show Spoiler

((Not exactly. This is one of those moments when we all roll our eyes and say "Zephyr's gonna die." Randy is going to be trying his darndest not to get caught in the backwash. ))

Nah. I might not have worded it quite like that, but I'd be looking for some evidence that it's not just a weird corpse too.

[M0rtimer]

► Show Spoiler

A weird corpse with a god complex that probably has at least some means to back it up.

[BadgeAddict]

Zephyr is highly suspicious of anything calling itself powerful, knowing full well that even gods have died at the hands of men and women.

[thinkslogically]

► Show Spoiler

Quite. I mean we could also just close the ramp and leave.

[spiderwrangler]

The entity draws back, appraising Zephyr.

"I would see you grovel."

((Zephyr needs to make a Wisdom saving throw!))

...uh oh...

(( Randy WAS trying to talk him and Zephyr out of this mess. He still might be able to talk himself out of it... maybe. All he was needing was an excuse to get back upstairs and out of line of sight. I got a feeling that just got more difficult. ))

Randy sotto voice: "Oh, spork! That tears it!"
He edges a little bit away from Zephyr.
(( Randy will see what he do to salvage the situation, but he's not in good shape to take a bullet right now. ))

[BadgeAddict]

WIS SAVE: 1D20+1 = [18]+1 = 19

[spiderwrangler]

((I'll take a Charisma (Stealth) check from Randy to see if you're able to avoid drawing attention to yourself. So Charisma, then if your proficient in Stealth, add proficiency bonus.))

Nevermind, the focus is fully on Zephyr.

[spiderwrangler]

Zephyr, you feel a wave of obedience surge over you, and your knees start to buckle, before you shrug it off.

((You would have a choice here, after beating it, to go along with it, or defy him.))

[BadgeAddict]

As the wave of dominance washes over her and she shrugs it off, Zephyr locks eyes with the beast and remains standing and then speaks boldly, raising her voice slightly. "Perhaps you didn't hear me, what with lacking anything that appears to be ears, I said if you have power, reveal it that I might find you worthy."

That moment when you're typing out an action and you're like...my character has to say this in order to remain in character, but what the crap am I thinking!

[spiderwrangler]

"I sssaid, grovel!"

((Zephyr needs to make another Wisdom saving throw!))

[BadgeAddict]

WIS SAVE: 1D20+1 = [20]+1 = 21

[spiderwrangler]

You barely feel the compulsion this time, it just passes over you.

((I'm assuming your responding similarly?))

[BadgeAddict]

"Mr. Snake, haven't you learned by now not to make demands that you can't back up."
Zephyr calls her sword to her hand and bangs it against her shield in an act of defiance. (She readies an attack on the off-chance the snake attacks due to her taunting)

► Show Spoiler

Zephyr what are you doing.

[spiderwrangler]

He hisses in anger and the skeletons at his back clatter their displeasure.


((I'll take initiative rolls from everyone (if I have pre rolled over for you, I'm posting from phone, so will get you when I get home), and a CON save from Zephyr, yes?))

[BadgeAddict]

CON SAVE: 1D20+3 = [19]+3 = 22
Initiative: 1D20+1 = [10]+1 = 11

[Lurks_In_Shadows]

Initiative:1d20 = [13] = 13

(( Dammit, Zephyr! Randy has an ace in the hole, but I'd rather not use it if I can avoid it. Spider what is the distance to big, bad, and ugly?))

[spiderwrangler]

(He'd have approached Zephyr some, but you were backing away, yes? How far from her would you be?))

[thinkslogically]

((I love how Zephyr is having absolutely none of this guy's shit ))

Initiative: 1D20+2 = [2]+2 = 4

[Lurks_In_Shadows]

((About maybe 3 feet.))

[spiderwrangler]

((Let's say Zephyr is 20 ft, Randy is 25ft?))

[Lurks_In_Shadows]

((Well, Randy's not a kamikaze type per se, so the hole card is staying hid for now. ))

On Randy's turn he'll go with bow/hail of thorns/Planar warrior then. He'll be out of spells until he rests after that.
