[Dictum Mortuum]

[spoiler]Rolled 31 knowledge the planes and invisible castle seems to work for me again [/spoiler]

Wai-Mazzi-wha-? Who comes up with those names anyway. Ok, so, if that guy is dead, shouldn't that stony thingy be activated? I really don't like guys with torches and sticks hanging around me, especially if they are followers of some obscure mystical diabolic figure

[Tshern]

OOC: Not some obscure mystical diabolical figure, but the most/second most powerful devil that has ever existed. A devil so powerful that he actually created all devils of pit fiend rank and lower.

[Irthos Levethix]

"I don't believe our quarry is dead, merely misplaced.  And while this trophy is interesting, it would not excuse a failure in this mission.  I warn you all, I am ill prepared against that wall of flesh.  We must find another way.  Perhaps the church will yield some clues?" Syris telepaths.

[spoiler=OOC]What exactly happened with the other devil?  He said he was leaving, but how?  Did he teleport away?[/spoiler]

[AfterCrescent]

Fine. We don't have much time. Let us check the church quickly. Should nothing yield a clue to its location, we can always move back and possibly attempt some other manner of determining its location.

[Irthos Levethix]

"Very well, I shall return once again...."  With a sneer, he whispered an arcane word, and the trophy disappeared into his robes.  Without another sound, Syris vanished into the the night, leaving a trace of brimstone in the air.

[spoiler]
Okay, I'm gonna go back to the church, and search it thoroughly.  I dont know how big it is, Tshern, but I'm going to use charges of Spontaneous Search to effectively cover the entire thing.  It goes in a 20ft burst, so I'm even going to teleport/climb on walls to get the most out it.  Taking the 10, I've got a 39.  So, just tell me how many charges I need to deduct.[/spoiler]

[BowenSilverclaw]

"Very well, we'll be waiting. Try not to take too long." Morthos grins.

[Tshern]

Syris moved to the castle and only minutes later he found a few scrolls from a room that smelled like death or, rather, undead. It was evident that the evil skeleton they faced had lived there, but only these srolls and the terrible scent proved this to be true.

The room had high windows painted full of icons and patrons, but even true the cornucopia of colours Syris saw how the endless sea of light grew brighter and the name Lightbringer was not a surprise anymore.

[spoiler]The devil teleported immediately after he stopped talking to you.

Urgh, I am *not* going to count the volume of the church, so reduce eight charges. The scrolls are Disintegrate, Teleport and Radiant assault.

Give me your special senses, Irthos. Darkvision? Blindsight? Something?[/spoiler]

[Irthos Levethix]

[spoiler=Senses]See in magical darkness, darkvision 60ft, and if I use my collar I gain superior low-light vision[/spoiler]

[Tshern]

[spoiler]Nevermind then, you remain oblivious to whatever I had in mind. Do continue with in character actions.[/spoiler]

[BowenSilverclaw]

*Any interesting things you've found yet, Syris?* Morthos asks telepathically.

[Irthos Levethix]

"A few spell scrolls, and some art decor in honor of Lucifer the Imposter, and the stench of undeath.  This is fruitless." Syris replied to his allies.  Teleporting back, he began to rummage through the skeletal remains of the mage for any clues that his partners may have missed.  "Are any of these useful to you, Morthos?" he asked, handing the scrolls over.

[spoiler]K, I'll take 20 searching this bastard, if our time constraints allow.  Also, I forgot that I have Arcane Sight up, so if whatever you may have had in mind had a magical aura, I'd have caught it.  One can hope [/spoiler]

[Tshern]

[spoiler]Taking 20 on search is slow business. However, if you want to do it, I can already tell you won't find anything.[/spoiler]

[BowenSilverclaw]

"I can most certainly put these to good use, but aren't you just as proficient in their use yourself, Syris?" Morthos asks after quickly looking over the scrolls.

[Irthos Levethix]

Looking at the pile of bones with disgust, Syris turned to his companions."Aye, I am.  Perhaps I will study the Radiant Assault later;  right now, we have more important matters to address.  Talsor, Ash, do either of you have any suggestions for a course of action?  Perhaps a trick hidden up your sleeve?  Now would be the time to share."

[BowenSilverclaw]

"Indeed, it would be best to decide on a course of action now that we've still got a little time until that horde arrives." Morthos comments.

[AfterCrescent]

Without a clue as to the location of our target, I am ill prepared to locate him at this moment. Should we withdraw, we would surely be able use our power to magically locate it tomorrow.

[BowenSilverclaw]

"I agree, and a good night's rest should give us renewed vigor to continue our mission. So, where do you suggest we go to to prepare for tomorrow, Talsor?"

[AfterCrescent]

Not back to the second layer. Not yet. Talsor turns to Syris, Are you familiar with the area?

[Irthos Levethix]

[spoiler]1d20+10=19 for Knowledge Local[/spoiler]

"Not very.  Do we have any way of shadowing this approaching mob, for intel purposes?  I am very curious as to what their goal is..."

[BowenSilverclaw]

"I don't have any Invisibility or similar spells prepared, do any of you have them available at the moment? Aside from that, we don't know of the sensory capabilities of any potential casters in that horde, so we can't be entirely sure we won't be detected if we follow them."
