In reply to Adept Yisslitheniss (msg # 50):

beyond the wall to wall pentagram, there is anothrr door...

something is rattling the door where the salt spilled.

The Adept steps across the pentagram to the other side.

In reply to Adept Yisslitheniss (msg # 52):

norhing befalls the Adept.

Amelia remains just behind haveron but will advance as he does.

In reply to Amelia Montaigne (msg # 54):

as something slams against the left hand door, Var turns to Berry,
"Ima hafta bounce. See yas on da other side."

with that, he disappears in a cloud of noxious vapor.

Amelia glances round.

======
OOC: Does Amelia know Var? And, if so, what his skill set is?

In reply to Amelia Montaigne (msg # 56):

Var is Berry's servant and has traveled with you for about a month (3years of play) He is a rascal who has been pleasant but quiet company, and has disappeared in this fashion  before

That has to be a bad sign. Berry says as she casts around looking for danger.

In reply to Berry (msg # 58):

Var could not cross the pentagram in tangible form, and probably will travel through walls. Meanwhile something is at the door and starting to open it...


occ: Gareth decided to wait 10 minutes on the other side of the truth telling door, and y'all are about 30 seconds in

In reply to Narrator (msg # 59):

Haveron stands at the ready as something smashes through the door... a weighted length of chain!

ahead of you is a large inlaid pentacle, opposite the broken door is a door open to gloom

Berry readies a magic bolt and calls out. Hello, we are just uh... not thieves. She inches forward, hoping someone else will take the lead.

In reply to Berry (msg # 61):

the length of chain crashes through the door again,obliterating it.
the smell of sulpher,hot metal, sour milk and musk intensifies

The adept chants... and there is a small sputtering flicker.

With the chains and smell and all Amelia is reminded of a story she's read about a chain demon! She's not so very brave although the tries to be, but it's a borderline pretense really; a whimper escapes from her mouth and she moves back a pace..

In reply to Amelia Montaigne (msg # 64):

Standing firmly in the center of the pentagram, with e eryone behind him,Haveronbrandishes his sword toward the door, with Omar backing him up.
"Stand aside! fell beast,you will not pass me!"

In reply to Haveron Stormwal (msg # 65):

a massive red and scaly thing steps through the remains of the door, clawed and horned, with leathery wings and a barbed tail it carries a length of hooked chain...

The Adept, already on Guard, steps forward and swings his sword at the demon's head, he selects a strong attack.

In reply to Adept Yisslitheniss (msg # 67):

The demon reels as the blade passes between its ear and its horns, and ichor sprays.

the demon chuckles!

"Does it need silver weapon for harm? Iron? Magic?" squeaks Amelia. Her lips tremble.

Well he just got whacked with a fair bit of steel (iron) for about 36 damage or so* to the head ... obviously not a vital organ though.

*Assumes his skull is only 2 DR  which may well not be the case.

In reply to Adept Yisslitheniss (msg # 70):

does anyone have hidden lore:demons?

In reply to Narrator (msg # 71):

No, but we are not there yet, right?

OOC: No, sorry, don't have that, it's a 125pt build

In reply to Amelia Montaigne (msg # 73):
