You try to blind the woman using the Blitz RAVE
but realize that much like you, she no longer uses her physical senses.

So you simply Manifest a Bash in her stomach,
blowing her entrails out of her abdomen in a bright flash of visceral colours.

>She's Bleeding a lot of Blitz.

She does not appear to be phased by this.

She begins to use her blitz to propel her upper body towards you

Apotheosis part 1/2
This was meant to be a one shot (hence it's not a quest) but needed to be extended into a second session.

It's clear, we must Bash the brain.

Hello everyone! After having been on the board for a few months and heartily enjoying many of the quests that others have made, I decided to try my hand at creating one myself. This will be a collective decision quest, with board voting for the actions of the PC.

Please keep in mind that this quest can and eventually will kill the PC, be it by bad decisions or the end of the life span of the PC's body. But fret not, as that does not mean the end of the quest. You will simply be born once more into whatever world it happens to be. You will not, however, retain any experience from your previous lives, or knowledge from any other world.

Thank you all for your and I hope you enjoy this quest!

Confirm?

You awake in the Si Wong Desert, sand dunes all that surround you. Something’s wrong though; the sand dunes are moving and crashing into each other like waves, and pass underneath your feet like ripples. The night sky is inundated with constellations and stars, bright beacons illuminating a small area around you. You see movement in the darkness in front of you and a shadow descends on you, gripping tight around your arms and bringing you to the ground as a roaring flame passes just above you. The shadow melts as it rests on you, oozing and disappearing into the grains of sand beneath you. You slowly pull yourself to your feet, to find yourself surrounded by a wall of orange flame that shrinks closer and closer. You lift your arms to protect yourself, as a torrent of water rockets up from beneath you. The fire doesn’t stop however, and the water hisses as it tries to shield you from the heat. Steam surrounds you and intense heat scorches your entire body. Your vision goes blurry, your head droops and you collapse into the sand as the steam envelops you.
---
You jolt awake before slumping back down and letting out an exasperated moan. You’ve been having weird dreams lately, but not since Bayar gave you that cactus juice he swore was water have you had one that.. intense. Well, whatever. You look at the alarm clock, 12:00PM flashing bright red. Ugh. You’d better get up. You stretch out, yawning like a lazy tigerlizard on a hot day, your legs hanging far out of the bed. The bed’s been yours since you moved here at ten, and it’s gotten uncomfortably small just over six years later.
Throwing your legs over the side, you walk to the window and throw back the curtains and watch the sleepy Korung Village, dusty but well-kept with mud and clay houses designed for cool temperatures in severe heat. It’s gotten bigger the last couple of years, and more and more merchants decorate the busy streets each blurring the fine line between negotiation and harassment as people go about their lives. The few cars in the village rest outside some of the larger homes and businesses, something of a rarity.

You see a large crowd of people crowded around Meng’s grocery store, one of the few places with a working television. You hesitantly make your way down the stairs into the kitchen, the nagging hunger in your stomach the only force capable of dragging your plodding feet.

Your auntie stands at the counter, nimbly dicing a pile of vegetables for the chickabbits. Her tiny frame barely brings her hands level with the bench and her dark brown hair is held up by a bandanna, bangs framing her hardened, sun-worn face. Without lifting her head from her work, she greets you “Well, good afternoon you lazy bum. You’re lucky I let you sleep in you know, you better knock this off before school goes back young man.” She looks up sternly at your sympathetic expression and smiles, saying “Your uncle and Bayar are out on the sand-sailer, some drifter got into your Uncle’s head about some UER junk that got left out some ways away, so they won’t be back for another couple of hours. You’ll have to entertain yourself ‘til then”

You’ve got the next couple of hours to just explore the village and kill time, what do you want to do?
> Maybe that drifter dude is still here, you could try to find out more about that haul
> You did sleep in all day, maybe your Aunt could use some help around the house?
> You should head over to Meng’s and see what that crowd of people are watching
> The ground here is solid enough for some proper Earthbending practice, it’s been a while since you’ve really had a chance to train
> Head out from the village and train your Sandbending, Earthbending is fun but it’s not something you’ll really have a chance to use

Taking in the situation, you make a snap decision. Pointing to a random knight, you say, "Gather the rest, and find a way up the hill, to take them from behind. We shall stay behind, to delay them. Understood?"

Nodding sharply, the knight salutes you, and wheels his horse around, galloping towards the rest of the battlefield.

Taking a breath, you raise your sword and shout. "Dismount!"

Slamming your helm's visor shut, you leap from your horse, keeping a tight grip on your sword and shield. Landing alongside your brethren, beside Kathrin, and followed by Edgar, who bears your banner, you stare at the Legion soldiers, who look down at you nervously, clearly unnerved after what you did to their comrades. They are surely about to break soon, you just need to press them.

Striding forward evenly, even over the rocky terrain, you get your shield ready, and bark out a single order in German, a language that these men before you have likely never heard before. "Advance!"

You're about halfway up the hill, when you see the Legionnaires readying for a pilum throw, so you get low, and raise your shield, making sure that you're a smaller target.

"Get down!" Your men, with training and discipline, borne of years of training and field experience, follow your order immediately, and just in time, too, as the majority of the spears fly over their heads, and those that don't, clatter against the rocks near them and glance off their shields, poorly-maintained bronze heads bending, breaking, or simply bouncing off, dull.

>>1701631
Standing up, you advance quickly, moving at a fast clip, hoping to engage the Century before it throws its pilum again. Swinging your sword as a command, the rest of the knights follow, their swords shining crimson in the afternoon sun, covered in the blood of Legion troops.

Breaking into a run as you get closer to the shield wall, you slam into the tower shield, managing to dent it while knocking the Legionnaire down, acting as a steel-plated human battering ram.

Simply stabbing him in the face, you raise your shield to deflect several blows from the gladius, and step back, eyeing the situation. You now have a chink in the front line's armor, a vulnerable point. It won't be too long before they take measures to fix this, either.

Slashing at the soldiers experimentally, you gauge their reactions, and seeing an opening, you take the chance, lunging forward, and stabbing the soldier in the armpit, where the bronze armor doesn't cover, and their guard was lowered. You receive a strike on your shoulder for your trouble, but your steel plate protects you from the worst of it.

Kathrin, however, has your back, and she chops off the offending soldier's hand, and while he's stunned, shoves aside his tower shield, stabbing him in the gut. Even Edgar is getting his blows in, guarding your left flank, just as Kathrin does your right.

The battle is most certainly in your favor, but the Legionnaires are showing odd resolve for conscripts. You're surprised that they haven't begun to flee by now.

Spellcrafting:
Spellcrafting involves fusing spells with various skills, knowledge and even other spells that your character has learned together creating a new spell or skill.
>The name of the resulting new spell will be determined by the QM. By default it will be "Cast A B C..."
>Your dice roll will affect the result of the spellcrafting. Lower rolls will result in weaker or negative version of the intended spell and vice versa.

Social Interactions:
1) Role playing with other players is a free action. Role playing with NPCs, however, will cost an action point to do so.
2) Collaborative Player-to-Player actions like trading, tutoring and PvP, will cost an action point to do so.

Combat:
1) The battle starts with an initiative roll by each player. This tells the order of the actions of each player in the round. The initiative roll also resets every round and a new initiative roll will be needed every turn
2)The next phase is the attack, where the player with the highest initiative roll gets the chance to take an attack action. The player he attacks can also take a reaction and attempt to block, dodge or even counter attack with a spell or skill.
3)To land an attack, the attack roll must be higher than the defense roll. After landing a hit, The damage is calculated with relevant skills and traits using a 1d(1+ modifiers) roll.
4)This continues as everyone gets a chance to attack, resetting the round and this will be done until a player gets downed.

Turn 137 GO

You frowned as the campfire's warm light glimmered off its figure, giving the familiar bronze rings an almost molten gleam. You had treasured it as a keepsake of your sister, but the mystery surrounding it seemed content to only grow deeper and more confusing. The Delegate had theorized that it had the capability of commanding apparitions... Or, more outrageously, perhaps even the potential to compel the Mana themselves. It was this possibility that they had hinged their entire plan on, in the hopes that you could somehow lull Dryad into slumber.

Given that you had only ever used it to cause extensive property damage and deeply seated psychological scars, this plan did not fill you with any sort of confidence.

"I've done what I can, though it isn't very much." Elly interrupted your thoughts with a soft murmur, "I think she'll be fine. Probably."

"...Probably?" You echo back the diagnosis, perhaps more harshly than you meant to considering the reflexive recoil from your Dryad Representative. "What's wrong with her?"

"Nothing! Or, I guess that is the problem. I can't find anything wrong with her, other than how unusually frail she is. It seems like she's simply sleeping." Elly wrung her hands together awkwardly, shrinking under your crimson stare, "But she's... Not waking up, exactly. I'm not sure why."

Your eyes drifted shut as you sighed. A healer, or some kind of Wisp adept would have been better suited for what you had asked Elly to do, but you didn't have either on hand. "As long as she'll be okay for now." You mutter in resignation.

You had Ari back, and the Fae had promised to return your missing knights as well. With this, you had everything you had come out to retrieve; There wasn't any point in staying out here any longer. In fact, the sooner you could get Ari back to Carona and have a proper healer look her over, the better... Which meant it was time to leave.

Yet there in lay the problem.

You didn't fully understand where you were, much less how you could leave. Signs pointed tentatively towards the entire construct being similar to an Atelier, but that only spun more questions into the fray.

If it was an Atelier, then where was its Guardian? What was the meaning behind it all? And who did it belong to? The path to Solving an Atelier was in coming to understand its creator, and the burdens that they couldn't leave behind. It was a feat of empathy, above all... And if you couldn't recognize the feelings that wove through it all, then only rejection awaited you.

But even then, if by some fluke you did manage to Solve it... Would it matter? Solving the Ice Queen's Atelier hadn't magically opened some exit for you. The Atelier remained as it always had, it simply accepted your presence and stopped trying to freeze you to into its halls. In the worst case scenario, a failed attempt at Solving may force you into a confrontation with its Guardian.

You still vividly remembered the feeling of being so helplessly dwarfed in your last meeting with one of those watchful sentinels, and the chill that ran down your spine alongside that memory had nothing to do with the icy palace the encounter had taken place in.

"So what now?" Tim ventured after an uneasy silence, "What's our plan, Irue?"

"We need to return to the Shrine and warn the others." Elly piped up quietly, careful not to accidentally rouse Ari... Though she had admitted to be unsure why she wasn't waking in the first place. "Maybe one of the others will be able to help this girl, and at the very least she could use a bath."

"Hmn. Well we got what we came out here for, didn't we?" He glanced at Ari, and then to you questioningly. "If Irue's done out here, then you'll get no complaints from me." Tim shared your general distrust for the Luna Delegate, and you knew as much... Though you doubted Elly realized those unspoken sentiments were an implicit approval for any plan which didn't involve going back to them.

Or... Was that right? He had been helping you get away from them, but he had nothing personal against them other than the fact that you distrusted them. If anything, rather than share in your doubt, he seemed to simply take his lead from your judgement and trust you had good reasons.

"I pray my brother is still well." Elly let out a small sigh, curling her knees into her chest to serve as a chin rest. "Dryad, please look after him..."

>Talk about what you learned from the Delegate (what?)
>Ask Elly about a pleasant dream for Dryad
>Introduce the Oakenrue
>Meditate (What?)
>'A Spider's Web'
>Am I forgetting something...? (write-in)

Memo:
1. Get gifts for all our companions. Miniature Oakenrue for Ari, Tellenford Diary for Mim, Choker for Kara, mini-Vacation for Rinnier we can make Priat take her out on a social date. Maybe set up something where the people of Carona can thank her for her work and help remind her WHY she does it.
2. Invite Marchovic on adventures next time there's a chance.
3. Mim said "When are you going to tell her?" Tell what to whom?
