RE: New Crobuzon & the World Beyond - Ningalu Baal'urki - 07-23-2020 "We are fine. It is a little odd, but we are both here.I.. Ning, am in control at the moment, though Nang can take over if we need him to." RE: New Crobuzon & the World Beyond - GM Marvel - 07-24-2020 Simon eyes the hand on Ning's chest. "Let's hope your brother's transformation isn't permanent. I'm sure Nang doesn't want to spend eternity as an arm sticking out of your chest! Unfortunately, Nang was the only caster capable of using the wand. I'm not sure if he is still able to use it in his current form." Nang communicates with Ning, ~I can probably use the wand through you but to do so I'd have to momentarily take over your body. Which wouldn't be a problem since that's apparently what this creature does to survive. Once attached it lives its life pretending to be its host. ~ RE: New Crobuzon & the World Beyond - Selina Parcellus - 07-24-2020 (07-23-2020, 08:38 PM)GM Marvel Wrote: Tomeal smiles at Selina's kind gesture. He takes the priest's hands and then while standing, he helps Selina to her feet too. "There's likely more of those things deeper in the cave." Selina ponders this before a thought immediately pops into her mind. "So they are like vultures. The comparison is apt, I believe. In any case, are you injured, Brave One? May I assist?" RE: New Crobuzon & the World Beyond - Betimi - 07-24-2020 "They sound like a stronger willed version of my babies. My babies could take over if my mind were too weak. Would you like to talk to them?" RE: New Crobuzon & the World Beyond - GM Marvel - 07-25-2020 Tomeal replies, "Thank you but I'm really not hurt much." [6 subdual and 5 real] "Has anyone else been injured that might need the healing more than I? Nang actually got stabbed pretty badly by Simon. And what about you m'lady? Are you still injured?" [Nang took 12 damage; He has 1 hit point left. He could cure himself though but one maximized CLW from Selina would cure him to full.] "If you knew have I know about those creatures, you would have done the same and maybe even more. But I have to admit, it's unheard of for one of them to let the host stay in control. Usually they just use up the host's lifeforce then move on to a new host. I've heard some parasites who have grown fond of certain hosts with political power will find ways to keep them alive with magic." When Selina mentions vultures, Simon will nod, then add, "I've never seen these creatures before. It's likely the torque has created all kinds of mutants. We should not let our guard down." When Betimi asks about talking to her 'babies,' Nang thinks to Ning, ~How would I do that? What if something happens and I accidently take them over or them take me over?~ RE: New Crobuzon & the World Beyond - Betimi - 07-25-2020 While the party rests a moment and catches their wits Betimi decides she had better bin something with some abilities she can use. She retreats into the tunnel the party came through, staying where she can be seen and draws a series of symbols on the tunnel floor in water from her waterskin. Moments latera single tear that drops from thin air to strike the ground. Next a pair of weeping eyes appear, and gradually a handsome human male whose face is twisted by grief. becomes visible. He wears no clothes, but he cloaks his body in the griffon wings that grow from his back and shudder with each of his wracking sobs. Binding check [1d20+12] = 4+12 = 16 As he vanishes betimi starts to weep with sadness, and nods. RE: New Crobuzon & the World Beyond - Ningalu Baal'urki - 07-26-2020 Ning looks at Selina, then swoops down to her. "Nang was almost killed by that rapier stab. He barely clings to consciousness, might he have some healing?" He presents his chest where the hand sits like some strange vestigial appendage. He asks betimi when she returns to the group what she meant . "Talk to your babies? Nang wants to know how that would be accomplished? How could he stopthem from taking him over?" RE: New Crobuzon & the World Beyond - Selina Parcellus - 07-26-2020 Selina nods and smiles. "I can certainly provide some assistance, but the...influence of this place is...quite oppressive. Is there any way to aid me with it?" She's mostly directing this question to Simon, but maybe someone else in the group has some idea. [[*whistles innocently*]] RE: New Crobuzon & the World Beyond - GM Marvel - 07-26-2020 [Nang will need to take over his brother to use the wand.] Assuming Ning doesn't take issue, Nang: the hand, will assume control of his brother's body and then use the wand on Selina. RE: New Crobuzon & the World Beyond - Ningalu Baal'urki - 07-26-2020 Ning does not resist. |
