Eight Trigrams Sealing Spell Array - Marko / Kuroto
« on: July 15, 2010, 06:15:21 AM »
In a vast field of whiteness, not bright, just white.

Marko's body reforms in this space as the Dark Traveler appears before him.

Windows slowly appear and float around them, some images Marko recognizes as his memories. The rest would no doubt belong to Kuroto.

[spoiler]Marko keeps his Null Assimilation Field. Kuroto has everything else[/spoiler]
"You'll still be living in caves."
"Hell I don't mind that."

[spoiler]Is it OK to put words in Kuroto's mouth (antagonistic ones) as well as Marko's? Or should I just stick with Marko?[/spoiler]

Marko screams, not due to the current situation, but from the horror of being a passive observer to his body's disintegration moments earlier. Kuroto looks disgusted and makes a great show of studying the featureless whiteness around them. Finally Marko calms down a bit, testing the solidity of his body.

"A pathetic display. How can you permit yourself such childishness in the face of the Power that dwells here?"

"You ... you tried to kill me."

"Nonsense. You are the channel through which the Kuroto-no-Mikoto shall be borne into the material world. Yet you yourself are fragile and weak. We shall protect you from the dangers of material existence until the time of parthenogenesis."

"What, what do you mean?"

"Until the God of the Black Gate emerges into the world you must dwell within us, in spirit form. Or we all risk disaster. Surely even you must realize this."

"You want me to stay bodiless?"

"Yes"

"For how long?"

"That we cannot say. Perhaps centuries"

Marko steps back, horrified. "No, no stay away from me ..."

For the moment, the Traveler doesn't bother to chase after Marko's cringing retreat. "And if we should decide not to be so short sighted as we would have to be to grant you request? Do you evade us? Do you hope to threaten us with the power of the void? The idea is laughable. Although, once your spark has been better assimilated, the Seer has some notions as to how you could more properly focus your power ..."

Marko doesn't reply. Instead, despite the featureless environs, he fades from view. The child then carefully starts to slink away.[spoiler]Stealth check (1d20+15=27)[/spoiler]

Kuroto shakes his head, then moves in an eye-blink to the spot from which Marko disappeared. "You force our hand, child. The more you resist, the less gentle we can be."

[spoiler]Kuroto uses Living Singularity (with damage off) to grab Marko
Quote
Living Singularity
Move Object (Power Rank 18) (point cost 29) (points per rank 1/2)
Extras: Damaging - on 10 ranks only (+1), Explosion (+1)
Flaws: Action - full round (-1), Limited Direction - toward Kuroto (-1)
Power Feats: Dynamic
grapple checks for Marko then Kuroto (1d20-2=9, 1d20+15=20)[/spoiler]

Marko is stopped short with a sickening lurch, as the world seems to spin ninety degrees. Suddenly, Kuroto is 'down' and any hope of escape is 'up', the gravitational force of what had formerly been the ground being trivial compared to the dread forces exerted by the Traveler. Kuroto's form starts to become less defined, as light itself in the dark figure's immediate proximity is trapped by an immense force.

Starting to panic, Marko opens a discreet gate in hopes of drawing off the energies of Kuroto's gravitational field. Unfortunately, the Dark Traveler fails to even notice the attempt. With a muted yelp, the child falls headlong into the humanoid hole in space.

[spoiler]Counter Power attempt (1d20+10=20, 1d20+18=29)
2nd Grapple check (1d20-2=9, 1d20+15=16)[/spoiler]

"Rest, little one, and learn. Your struggles against us were in vain. No other result was possible. But united with us, your divine spark shall give birth to a true god."

-gate encounter end?-
