Nighthawk, 4. > Mumble magic technobabble to self while walking over to the rope and searching for a flight spell in my book. Or at least something along those lines that would help me get out of this hellhole.

You decide that when you need to escape a horrible hell-dimension, ropes just don't cut it. You crack open "Most Holy is His Wrath" and begin searching for some kind of spell that would enhance your mobility. Some flowing illustrations catch your eye.

There is a sweeping rune inscribed on the page, and you activate it. Power rushes through your veins, and you stand up, feeling like a great weight has been taken from your shoulders.

You have gained Force-Amplifier. Your movements are passively enhanced via kinetic magic, making you run faster, jump higher, stab harder.
It's not a flight spell, but if you work on it...

Izen, 5. >Read the paper. Wait for everyone else to climb the rope so the weight of my armor doesn't bring the whole thing down.

You glance over the simple ritual. As far as you can tell (not being an expert theologian) it is a general incantation, one of the types recited to sanctify basically any sort of complex mechanism. Some Machinae artifacts simply won't function without the proper blessing.

However it will be used, you commit it to memory, and then stamp over to the rope. You wait your turn to climb, and ascend to the rock crag with the others.

caekdaemon, 4. The crystal thing in the ex-monster. Loot it.

You gather up the shattered crystal in your hands, and rip several of the stiffer tubules out of the creature. After molding it back into one rather damaged piece, you climb with the rest of the group.

Asklar, 6. >Help the guys on getting outta here..

You help everyone up in turn, straining at the rope when Bob or Agrath scaled the cliff. Gods, why does their armor have to be so bulky?

Ociamarru, 1. Head on with the others, after looking again at my scrap of paper. Pay special attention to anything involving "a strange sort of life". Self-corruption is a plus.

You get to the others, then look for "a strange sort of life". Instead you find this.

EVENTS:
Everyone is at the top of the rock bluff that leads to the keep.
Ocia is having a bad trip.

"Lord Impar, forsake me not! Oh gods, why?!
...Nay, this is no punishment, but a blessing - I can see EVERYTHING!"
First, examine my Warpknife under this strange perception. Then, try and read Beyond the Mind once more.

I'd pray for Impar to stop it, but I'm worried I'll get another one and it'll end up semi-permanent, with my vision constantly distorted or something.

His name's Damien, not Ociamarru, you sillypants!

I knew that.
I was just...
Uh...
Testing you.
Yes.
To see if you knew your characters name.

Might not be able to post an action for a few days.

^^^ We're already to the top, check dem game events.

Darn 'dem game events when I'm in a rush.

Thanks for the heads up, O.C.

I have a gigantic History Fair project that I have to do every year, so I'm planning to get a jump on it over holiday break. That will unfortunately mean a temporary hiatus now, but it will ensure less disruptions in the future.
