The Summoning Circle [To Reign In Hell]

[Grey]

For aesthetics, it's probably best to let everyone know that obols, the currency of hell, resemble shards of dark, slightly reflective stone.

 

[Alexandra]

How easy would it be to...compel an answer out of one of the Rabble?


Ashtar has no time for this "maybe we do...maybe we don't" nonsense, and he certainly isn't going to trade for the information with these scrubs.

 

[Grey]

Probably not hard to intimidate an answer out of them - they're just Rabble, but they might also be persuaded with the right promises, false or otherwise.

 

[Grey]

Admiral Calgori


The crew seem ship-shape to you?

 

[Doctor Calgori]

Sorry for disappearing. Trying to get back into the swing of things.

 

[Grey]

See Hierarchy of Sins for mad buffs

 

[Alexandra]

Ashtar is now here to sell you a used car. Ten used cars. And you'll thank him for it.

 

[Grey]

brb generating Crazy Hassan as a Slothful used camel salesman rival.

 

[Alexandra]

Psh. He'll never be a real rival.


Ashtar's camels cars are barely used. And come with a free cup of dates.

 

[Doctor Calgori]

My only question is can the camels swim


if (CamelsCanSwim) then while(true) Zone.buyCamels() end end


On that note, I will examine these mad buffs after I start thinking in english again.

 

[Grey]

OF COURSE AQUATIC CAMELS! ONLY SLIGHTLY USED!


BUY TWO GET ONE FREE AND THIS CUP OF DATES!


On closer inspection the camels are ordinary camels equipped with goggles, breathing tubes, and waterwings.

 

[Doctor Calgori]

10/10 would still buy.


In other news I think I am alive again.

 

[Alexandra]

Hmm.


It seems I abandoned stealth in the end after all. Lawl.


Oh well....time for some investigation nonetheless...

 

[Midori1]

Greetings

 

[Alexandra]

Holy living wallpaper, Batman!


Is it possible to...unpin...her from the wall?


Ashtar would be greatly interested in finding out who put her up there, and why. He's also working to a timetable; gotta get back to the Temple soon and observe his minion up that mountain....

 

[Grey]

You could try, but that's quite a complex occult assembly she's bound up in. It might be worth consulting your library or contracting an expert.

 

[Alexandra]

Can I get the orbs to communicate the relevant information to him here?


I can roll Lore, if it helps.

 

[Grey]

Yep, with a +2 bonus for access to the library.

 

[Alexandra]

...I am going to cry if this doesn't work....

 

[Alexandra]

....this dice-roller is shocking....

 

[Grey]

I'm willing to allow external rollers like Invisible Castle if people feel the on-site one is being mean.

 

[Alexandra]

I have another one here;

I'm not sure really about the differences in dice-rollers.

 

[Grey]

That one success is enough for Ashtar to realise he could probably disable the devices without incident, but - what with his being so paranoid - it's entirely possible that whoever put them here will know if they stop functioning.

 

[Alexandra]

Mmkay.


This is out of his area of expertise. Finally...after so long...going looking for some outside help.


....boo....hiss....


Who would he have to find to disable things like this, and what would it cost him?

 

[Grey]

Plenty of new NPCs detailed in The Grimoire. A few more to come, especially Beasts.
