Necromancer's Delusion-Homebrew

"Alright so what I got so far is that Falk is in charge while Wymeron's away.  Seems kinda mean, but Celaser and Dain appear to be the two that Wymeron hangs out with the most.  They're those two over there. let's see if we can make em sweat..." Aryn whispers to Mucor and Gaelin while pointing to the two aforementioned instructors.

Aryn will take out one of the shadowblade swords and begin to tinker with it, all the while watching the instructors to see if any of them react.

(I posted my questions in my previous post.Sorry for having to backtrack you guys)

(Nah Jinara, this is some good stuff.  Its getting juicy.)

(I know! This is so good! Sorry everyone for taking so long this weeekend. Our boys are working on sleep training and they have been refusing to sleep throughout the night. it just makes for a long day and no energy.)

(OOC: So I want to help but I feel like I don't exactly know what is going on 100% I blame camping and stuff... Does Aryn want me to intimidate some people?)

(No worries.  Everyone deserves their own character backstory to be fleshed out every now and then.)

Jinara- Celaser looks over you with an arrogant air and grins.  “Me? I could ask you the same thing.  Wymeron found me and recruited me to come join him here.  Obviously he sees something in me where he saw nothing in you.  I assist Wymeron with whatever he needs.  That is my purpose…  Yes, we left the temple, journeyed far away and returned with some valuable knowledge.  The feywild? That’s a mystical and dangerous land.  It would be unwise for anyone unprepared to visit such a place." he says with a smirk.  While he isn't lying he is obviously skirting the line of truth. 

Dain appears less confident than Celaser and seems troubled by the overwhelming presence of Jinara’s appearance.  “I accompany Wymeron when he needs me to assist him.  We take short trips to local villages and help heal the sick. I’ve never been on a journey for artifacts.  No, that would be way too dangerous for us to go there.”  Hey says.  You look to Varian for confirmation and he nods in the affirmative causing a strange feeling of confusion.  Make a DC 17 Insight check. (on success)

Mucor-  (I think she wants you and Gaelin to pay attention to the instructor's reaction to seeing the feywild blade... at least that's how I took it.  I'm sure we'll find out if either of us is wrong.  :)  ) You watch as Aryn takes out the dark metal blade.  Celaser's eyes glance over and he clears his throat quietly while Dain seems not to notice the blade.  The other instructors look over at Aryn and seem somewhat apprehensive, more out of fear for themselves but not keenly interested in the weapon.

Gaelin- you continue to rethink your life choices while admiring the tranquility of the garden.

Insight 17

Jinara thinks for a moment, then moves over to Gaelin says in his ear "Gaelin, you might be of use here. Do you have your more power restoration magic ready today? If so, have a private conversation with that one (pointing to Dain) and see if you and Mucor can get anything else out of him."

He continues to walk around to Aryn and whispers in her ear "Scare this bastard straight. His arrogance needs to be checked. Do not kill him. I know how good you are at that." He then continues to maneuver back to facing the men (or man if they come in at different times) and await his companions actions.

“I do... Mucor will you accompany me?” Gaelin whispers back and takes a few steps forward. “Rain can I have a word with you over here?” He says in as kind a manner as he can. When Dain is sufficiently away from the others he’ll cast greater restoration in Dain. 

Aryn smiled at Jinara's request letting the blade rest against her shoulder.  "With pleasure..." she replies and walks forward into the group of instructors.  She'll spin around a few times as if contemplating then she'll bring the sword point down and point it towards Celaser.  "You... come with me."  she says firmly and points to a secluded section of the garden.  If he goes willingly she'll casually follow behind, if he doesn't she'll smile and point the tip of the blade at him then with her other hand quickly bring up a dagger against his throat. "I said move!" 

Sleight of hand:  29

Will follow up based on Celaser's response.

(Also, xtra was mostly right.  I wanted to see who would react to the sword.)

In an effort to not call attention to isolating calesar and dain, Jinara waives to Cedeny to have a chat. "Well be right back" he says to Varian 

"You asked me what it's like to be in a battle. It a rush of emotion. Fear, anxiety, adrenaline, whit all rush at you at once. Have you ever trained or sparred with anyone?" he says quietly as they walk around foyer, but away from the group.

Gaelin & Mucor-  Dain sheepishly walks over to a different section of the garden with you.  Gaelin's hand glows white with holy energy and as he touches Dain's shoulder you watch as the energy stays localized on his shoulders and head.  His eyes flash and change to purple then black then return to their original hazel color.  He shakes his head and vomits up a bit of purple black igor then turns to meet your gazes.  His expression changes from confusion to anger as he stares past you and see Celaser being guided away by Aryn.  "That bastard." he mutters and he begins to make a move in their direction.

Aryn- Celaser scoffs at your presentation and crosses his arms in defiance.  Celaser's countenance shifts from an air of confidence to one of fear as the blade of your dagger presses up against his throat in an instant.  He blinks rapidly not seeing the movement only feeling the blade and looks to his fellow instructors who all watch this unfold and do nothing to help, Celaser turns to Varian for assistance and only sees a blank face.  He slowly raises his hands and mumbles through a chattering jaw, "Alright... alright... I'll walk."  

Jinara- Cedany looks at Jinara almost childlike with excitement.  Though she was a little older, in worldly maturity she was still quite sheltered.  She even looked back to Falk as if to ask permission with her eyes before remembering she herself was an instructor.  "Not alot.  Wymeron frowns upon it as an unnecessary show of violence for any that aren't trained to guard the entrances... and even they are restricted in their training.  Mostly we practice evocation spells but the occasional transmutation or divination.  I usually train in my quarters alone with my sword, though I don't have it on me."

"What's your innate specialty, arcane practitioner or battle master? What draws you more?" He asks as to figure out what Stone should be. 

(I am excited to delve into more character backstories, I will try to go back and re-read some posts to make sure I am following properly. I know we found out that Jinara's old master was working with the drow that we met in the fey wild and then we teleported (expertly) to where he is supposed to be?)

(@Mucor. Basically. I misread some of the information and we went to Esterlin first before we went to where my old master actually was. That is how Varian is here. We asked him about all of this. He called on a celestial to confirm Wymeron's location and we all traveled to interrogate. The confrontation ensued. Varian polymorphed Wymeron into a slug and has him currently. He called on all instructors for questioning to see how far Wymeron's influence went in the ranks. That's where we are now. )

Jinara- Cedany thinks to herself and says, "I've always had a connection to Davara that gives me the ability to heal others and bond with others to protect them and make them stronger.  I can also summon angels to protect me in battle or create an aura that allows me to heal someone within it.  My heart though is a warriors, I would long to be in the front pulling attention away from my companions." she says as her gaze drifts off into the ether as she day dreams of battling some unknown creature.  She recovers and apologizes saying, "Sorry, you have touched upon a subject I care deeply about.  I... I can retrieve my sword and shield if you'd like?"

Jinara thinks for a moment. "Are you willing to leave the temple and maintain your faith to Davara away from this sacred place? If so, ho pack your gear. Assuming my companions are ok with it, we can bring you with us. You may see a battle yet." He says with a smile of satisfaction. "I have some business I must finish before we depart, but when that is complete, we should be ready. Be vigilant and do not share news of this offering with anyone until we are ready to depart."

(Hope that is ok Xtra!)

Jinara- Roll persuasion with advantage

If we're still linked telepathically... Aryn will smile and say to Torq, "Can I borrow you for a moment?   I think we have someone who wants to go for a ride... "

If they're not linked telepathically she'll try touching her earpiece to cast message to Torq with the same question and statement.
