Lupus looks at his hand and chest area. "my body is made from high end armor plating and wood, my strike's would cause some damage but also"
Some of the armor plating on his chest and shoulders open up and blood red energy comes out.
"My core was corrupted upon my creation overriding some of my original knowledge and functions but it gave me the ability to empower my strikes with radiant energy"
The armor plating closes and he examines himself, "however using these "powers" gives me a sensation I can only call "pain" but that's nonessential to our current objective I will preform to the standards of my function"
As you all converse and attempt several times to escape your manacles, the guards come to the gate and go through the usual, saying this time however Alright mistress Ilvara has a small ceremony all prisoners are to attend this morning before we put you to work. On your feet and follow us. He leads you all as well as the others out of the cell. One guard at the front and two at the rear.
The drow have you all line up as Ilvara emerges from the main stalagmite, scourge in hand and looking at Rain with a slight smile on her face. We have a fun little spectacle for everyone today. Yesterday a few of our prisoners decided they were going to escape before i personally had to put them down. Now you all will see what happens when you dare try and escape. Rain. Would you like to step forward? She asks in almost a mocking tone.
Failing to release himself from the manacles, Zvaere is going to use his fingers to trace the Uvar rune into his manacles as the guards are leading them toward the ceremony and upon seeing rain get called forward he prepares to activate it.
Rain steps forward and says in undercommon " I would not be so mocking itsy bitsy spider, you do not know what may befall you in the future"
Ilvara smiles cruelly once again. Well i do mnow whats be falling you. Your soul shall be taken by the great Goddess Lolth, you will become apart of the demon web, a sacrafice to our amazing Goddess. Agemmemon, sing Lolths praises as I execute your little friend, I think youll find our Goddess to be quite generous with those that find her favor. She takes a step back and then adds, also the stupid little dwarf girl. You've been selected as well. Come forward now.
The dwarf woman Eldeth, shakily steps forward as well, the slightest stream of tears trailing from her closed eyes. She looks back quickly to Lupus. I came here to find something most important. Please, dont let me die in vain, find the shield..
But shes cut off as Asha, the junior priestess arrives from the shrine room and begins to pull her towards the edge, overlooking the spider webs below, and of course the many giant spiders.
(If you guys are going to be getting into some aggresive actions, lets roll for initiative after the first attack please. I'm getting a full map prepared for you guys so you can at least have that and not rely on theatre of the mind so much.)
But mistress, surely that is a waste of material. Death is such a permanent thing, wouldn't you rather enjoy then again some day? You can always kill someone later, you may be performing powerful, but surely un-killing something is much more work...
Rain looks over the edge, her expression becoming thoughtful. " I would reason that Lolth would not hand over their favor so easily by simple praise. It will look too desperate and pitiful for a diety of such stature" she says while leaning closer to make eye contact with the largest spider, staring at it so intently she looks like she trying to commune with Lolth through it.
"I would rather not have people who are insincere and weak in faith as they would likely betray you and if you still require sacrifice make it something worthy of your calibre instead of a lowly human and dwarf who are a dime a dozen" Rain continues to reason as she puts her hand on Eldeth's shoulder, hoping to calm her with a reassuring squeeze.
" As a suggestion, why not the priestess who praises you the most? She would be like a fine plate of delicacies tailored to your taste instead of a buffet of bland food" Rain states before finishing with: " And if she denies becoming a sacrifice in your name then she is not as faithful as you thought for anyone who claims to be devoted but does not lie down their life for you is undeserving of your favor or the title of high priestess".
Lupus silently nodded to the dwarf. He then turned a to Ilvara his eyes turning a sickly red and his voice changeing in pitch and tone and says with an actual hint of emotion.
"Your "god" is pathetic, thrown out by her peers and betters to rot in hell, sounds familiar doesn't it? These games are pointless your race and god will never rise from the grave you keep you keep digging"
The normal mannerism of Lupus have seemed to be washed away replaced by a very angry and condescending construct.
Such raw emotion! Mistress, only a truly formidable person, such as yourself, could conjure up such a strong response!
Getting into the spirit of the moment, Ag mumbles to himself, twiddling his fingers.
Anyone failing a DC 13 INT(Investigation) check will see a small wave of (regular sized) spiders climb out of the pit and surround where Ilvara is standing. They make no sound, and if you make the save, you can still see them but they're very faint....
Ilvara hears you all speak, looking more and more angry as first Rain and the Lupus speak. Her eyes suddenly becoming like those of a spider she uses thaumaturgy to make her voice even louder and more imposing. You dare to question my loyalty? You dare to mock my Goddess even while you are chained and my prisoners? I will stand for this ignorance no longer! You all shall be sacrafices to Lolth! Starting with you human filth! She says, pointing to Rain, with two of the drow guards coming towards you.
(Looks like we are going to be getting into combat rather shortly again. Editing map now! Lormon you were holding an attack action so you would go first regardless, after that we will drop into initiative order. Also.. Theres like 14 npcs present so please be gentle, I may forget a few things, nust remind me in the ooc chat)

Zvaere retrys ripping the chains apart while cursing in giant at the first failure

Lormon will hold his action to attack the nearest guard

InsidersAg starts to hum the tune of "The little spider", waiting to see what Ilvara might want some help with....

Zvaere is watching the mistress intently, fingers hovering over the rune on his manacles, waiting for any sign that she is about to strike Rain
If we go into initiative 18
lormon will also look for sign

Do you like them, mistress?
Investigation Check: 4
Investigation check 6
Investigation 9
(Ilvara save) 6
Ilvara hears you all speak, looking more and more angry as first Rain and the Lupus speak.
