No, it doesn't change anything. As best Ankari can tell, the demon is being honest. Of course, it's a demon.

And on that cheerful note, it's off to bed I go. I've been staying up far too late recently, and I blame this site and its awesomeness. XD Looking forward to seeing how this will play out tomorrow!

I glance sideways at the elf and let out a snort.

Being friend to a demon, hiding and destroying information and putting everyone in danger for this? It's okay! Being a scared wizard who confused you with bandits? Ooooh, it's a wicked crime!

Unbelievable!


I don't utter any word, clenching my teeth and still feeling nauseated. I hold my torn clothes and look at the depression before moving to the stone building in the back of the island. She must have a spellbook, maybe even a journal and it will be mine. She first, next the man, he knew something and might have something of value too—information, of course, not a dumb bow.

The joke's on Mauve -- Liadan has nothing, not even a personal journal, that would be of any use to Mauve. XD

Ops, sorry, I wasn't clear! I meant Calexa, the witch, not Líadan. Mauve has no motives to believe Líadan knows anything useful—aka arcane magic—for she doesn't know Líadan bound the demon yet.

Wait for it. ^^'

Ah, okay! I was just worried Liadan would have to deal with Mauve rifling through her stuff at some point. ^^; Glad that's clear now! Plus, Liadan doesn't really "know" arcane magic, she just repeated what the demon told her to say.

I spot Darin's still body and frown. It appears I have been cheated in the bargain. I hope Liadan can do something about that. If not, there is always the elf gate.

What, exactly, does Ankari think Liadan can do to heal a corpse? And what does the Fae Gate have to do with it? Does he want to throw Darin through to the elves? Or maybe he wants Liadan to go back through and ask for help... yeah, that'll go over well. *sarcasm*

Well, first Ankari doesn't know what you can or can't do with your healing.

Second, he can travel back through the gates and try to find someone to resurrect him.

You'll have to ask Steerpike if resurrection's even possible. In any case, I don't know if the elves of either wood will be much welcoming to Ankari. Cadell did warn everyone against going to either place for fear of being harmed.

Steer, I'm curious about how cooperative checks might work -- i.e. two or more people combining their rolls to achieve a certain goal, like lifting poor Darin. If Matthew were to go and held Cadell and Liadan, and his roll plus theirs added up to 18 or above (since I don't think any of them have STR as prime), would that work to get Darin's body off the ground?

Oh...I meant to say. For something like carrying a body, you don't need a strength check if you've got two people there doing it. Sure, the dwarf is heavy, but we can assume that two adults trying to move him are going to be able to do it, even if slowly. If he were a giant or something and you wanted to pull him, I'd go with a check. But just because you're using strength doesn't mean you always need a check. Things that a person or group of people could reasonable do can just be done without one :)

As for resurrection - it is possible. It is extremely rare. To cast the spell, you have to sacrifice a sentient creature to take the place of the soul that is being retrieved from beyond death. There are rumors of old magics that will allow it to be done without that, but those are speculative and there is some question as to whether anyone is powerful enough to cast it.

So my checks there are superfluous, then. Good to know. XD (Waste of a post though, since I can't edit. ^^; )

Yeah, sorry. If you want to just pick up after Cadell's post, you can assume that once Cadell is helping, they carry him.

Well, I wanted Matthew to help, which is why I asked about the joint checks. Just because he isn't doing much of anything right now, and I want him to be useful.

Speaking of Matthew, has anyone seen Phietadix lately? I'm happy to continue modding Matthew for a while, but if his player doesn't want to keep playing or won't have the time for an indefinite period, it might be best to give him an excuse to leave, when/if I have permission. Though I'm not sure what that reason might be.

I haven't heard from him. But since you guys are wrapping up in the tunnels and heading elsewhere, presumably, it would be a logical place for Matthew to separate from the party if he intends to.
