Orkanith's vision comes back to him "what the hell was that?"

[Modrageball]

Orkanith is a large spherical stone chamber. The walls are covered in engravings of what seems to be ancient history-- scenes of mighty kings crushing the skulls of their enemies beneath their feet, and of bloody sacrifices made under the crescent moon and radiant sun. The center of the chamber is punctuated with an altar, a large rectangle of rough-cut stone, notched and stained. Tunnels dot the upper third of the chamber, the only exits in sight.

Elder Kabanha reclines in mid-air opposite Orkanith, smiling thinly at him.

"A simple spell of translocation. A trifle. Now. Radiant One. Outlander. Tell me true. What aim do you have in delving into the forbidden arts of our society? Do you fear death? Do you desire power? There are many paths that lead the receptive to our Circle."

Orkanith crosses his legs and floats in the air as well. "I do not fear death as i am immortal already. I am one who follows the paths of power, that is why i seek to learn from you Elder."

Kabanha smiles sardonically. "Oh yes, we know of the privileges your kind, these Arena members, enjoy. But if I were, for example to kill you here, where you are alone, in one of my seats of power, you would still die." It shrugs. "You would not, of course, stay dead, but you would die nonetheless. We aim higher than being the lapdog of an outland slavedriver."

Water drips from the tunnels in the ceiling, evaporating in mid air with plops and hisses.

"Still, here you are. Seeking to tread the paths of power. And your nobility demanded that you avoid sacrificing your friends in your pursuit." it cackles. "This will be fun. Very well, the price must be paid by you alone."

Kabanha rests a finger on it's chin.

"Are you prepared to pay in Blood, in Time, in Strength? Are you prepared to shred your nobility and forsake your former loves? Are you prepared to bring forth the seeds of the Dead? To serve in letting all things run over back into themselves? So that the Circle may remain Unbroken?

Orkanith looks at Kabanha, "What would you have me do Elder? As he says that hr slightly bows at the waist.

Kabanha grins triumphantly. "Stand still."

It ritual-sketches a symbol in the air.

"You will pay in Blood." it whispers. Orkanith feels pain scream throughout his body, and tides of his angelic blood seep from his pores, gathering in a luminescent sphere above the basalt altar.

Orkanith gains:

Deathly Anemia- (Passive Ability, Curse) Possessor suffers -2,000 CON, Possessor is inflicted with Fatigued: Weakness at the start of each round. If possessor takes more than one action per round, any actions past the first are cancelled, and possessor is inflicted an instance of Fatigued: Stunned that ignores the resistances and immunities of individuals under level 60.

"You will pay in Time." it whispers. Orkanith feels his body lock in place.

Orkanith is locked, catatonic, into this thread for 7 days while Kabanha's ritual is completed.

"You have paid in Strength, and reap Strength." it whispers.

Orkanith feels a wrenching sensation and watches as a silvery-shadow of the fallen angel is ripped from his body and laid in gentle repose alongside the sphere of blood above the altar. The blood and the soul shimmer together, bending into a ribbon of swiftly flowing light.

He gains:

Soul Removed and Tended by Elder Kabanha of the Unbroken Circle- (Passive Ability, Deathless One) Possessor may not be resurrected by sources that do not contain the world "Phylactery".

In these cases, when possessor self-ressurects, possessor does so with amounts of HP, MP, and stats equal to possessor's normal Max values of said values, to a max of 3,000,000 HP and MP and 50,000 in each stat, Possessor's side of battle does not count as losing if all its members are dead by standard victory conditions until after possessor's self resurrection chance is accounted for if no individual of Level 40 or greater is opposing possessor's side of battle, with this non-loss only applying if possessor is in battle and possessor's ability to check for self-ressurection has not been disabled, with said non-loss automatically deactivating if a round ends while it is in effect.

Orkanith has some time to stew as he Pays in Time. Any goodies are subject to Gad-Review.

Orkanith's vision starts to falter, he manages to stammer out a question before fading completely, "Kabanha......what......are you........doing?" Orkanith goes into a catatonic state for seven days.

Orkanith regains consciousness. Kabanha floats in the air above the altar, smiling down at Orkanith.

"Welcome back." it says. "There is yet much to be done." It motions to the mass of soulstuff and blood on the altar, which, over the course of the week, has crystallized into a roughcut red gem.

"That is your soul, Radiant One. I shall be keeping it for the time being. But it must be strengthened. Fed. Rendered Sacrifice. Leave through this tunnel," Kabanha points, "and make your way to the Nadir of Solitude. Bring back what you find there."

Orkanith bows at the waist, "It shall be done Elder." Orkanith walks off down the tunnel.

Orkanith floats up and out through the tunnel Kabanha pointed out, settling into a walk as the passage levels out. The walls are dark, seamless masonry engraved with more scenes of death and sacrifice. Kabanha's voice echoes through the fallen angel's mind.

"I shall be performing some small rituals on your Soul to prepare it for the upcoming sacrifice, O Radiant One. Do not be alarmed if you experience...moments of weakness."

Orkanith follows the tunnel for nearly half an hour as it winds through the darkness. It finally opens into a rectangular chamber, and Orkanith's BA-senses flash a quick overlay of text across his vision as the tunnel behind him swims hazily before vanishing into smooth,solid stone.

-Darkhallowed Crypt: Nadir of Solitude-

The chamber is made of the same lightless stone as the tunnel. It is dark, apart from a mess of organic shapes in the corner that glow with pale witch-light. A pair of basalt thrones punctuate the center of the room. Two skeletons, unrusted swords balanced across their laps, grin motionlessly at Orkanith from atop their seats.

Exits are stone doors to the North and West.

Orkanith casts

Blade of the Radiance: Proof of the Shining Soul- (Spell, Other: Radiant Magic, Light, 92 MP OR 92 HP, 92,000 Gold) All weapons wielded by caster gain +100 Melee Attack, gain the element Light, lose the element Darkness, and gain a 5% chance of inflicting Awestruck as a buff that does not stack on the same item and stacks 10 times across all items per wielder

Uses the light in his sword to try to illuminate the room to try to get a better look around.

You light your sword with Radiance, the twin thrones casting flickering shadows on the walls. The mess of organic shapes in the corner is revealed as a furnace, grotesquely carved to resemble a bloated human form. The witch-light inside gives off no heat. On the lip of the stomach of the furnace statue- sit a pair of wizened figurines and a plaque, which reads:

Two scholars of repute, each confident in their knowledge, each learned in their field.

Each guarding a secret, one containing life eternal, and the other nothing but the Eldest Fear, death.

One, bound by arcane writ to only speak the truth, the other similarly bound to speak only falsehood.

Seeker of Power, ask but one question to determine the true path to the secret.

The small figurines turn their faces up at Orkanith, shriveled smiles seeming to flicker in the witch-light of the furnace.

Orkanith addresses one of the statues, "If I asked the other guard which door had eternal life behind it, what would they say?"

A high, reedy whisper from the statue Orkanith adresses.

Your words are twisted, but your intent is known

If you asked the other scholar whose secret to seek

he would tell you that mine is the true Path to Power.

Orkanith bows "Thank you." And walks through the opposite door from the one pointed out by the answer he was given.

Orkanith walks across the chamber, his footfalls echoing strangely despite the enclosed space. The twin skeletons on their thrones seem to follow his progress with their hollow eyes.

Orkanith attempts to open the Western Door. Across the room at the North Exit, the darkness coalesces into a sphere of crushing gravity.

The door opens into a lengthy hallway made of the same stone, winding north. There are three new exits here, one further along the Eastern side of the corridor, one along the Western, and one that the corridor ends into, heading North.

Orkanith heads to the door to the north and enters it.

Orkanith enters a rectangular chamber of dark, carved stone. Two more silent thrones with bleached skeletons, holding tall, wickedly pointed spears.

The far wall contains a recess stacked with neat pyramids of coal.

Exits are a banded wooden door to the north, and returning the way you came.

He will exit the room from where he came and go stick his head into the other 2 rooms to see what he can see.

[Modrageball]

Orkanith pokes his head into the Northeastern Door.

He sees a circular room, walls and ceiling covered in bas-relief sculptures of animals engaged in bloody warfare, ripping and tearing eachother regardless of species or relative position in the food chain. Similarly carved pillars ring the room. Piles of bones of all sizes are stacked around the pillars and against the walls.

A hunched figure, clad in moldering rags and leaning on a greatclub stands in the center of the chamber, it's back to Orkanith. It shifts to face him as he opens the door, blue-as-death eyes shining out of it's shrouded face and pinning the fallen angel in place.

What are Orkanith's defenses against Pain, Confusion, and Paralysis? (Or status effects in general)

Greater Armband of Purity- (Accessory, Wristwear, Light, 24,000,000 Gold) +24,000 Magical Attack, +24,000 Defense, 40% Resilience, Individuals below Level 40 cannot inflict status effects on possessor

If creature is a devil

New Radiant Order's Champion's Armor- (Armor, Heavy Armor, Light, 30,000,000 Gold) +30,000 Defense, +30,000 Defense against Darkness, +30,000 Melee Attack, 30% Darkness Resistance, 30% Physical Resistance, 30% Light Resistance, 5% Devil Resistance, Radiant Magic spells cast by wearer that provide a Melee Attack Bonus gain +25,000 additional Melee Attack, Buffs on wearer from Radiant Magic spells that boost wielder's stats do so by an additional 1,200 points, to a max of 10 such buffs, with this effect not stacking across multiple copies of this item, Whenever a Devil below Level 60 would inflict a minor or moderate negative status effect on wearer, it is instead dealt 300,000 Flat Light element Damage by wearer, Wearer is Immune to individuals below Level 20, Wearer must be Level 20 or greater and must possess the ability 'Radiant Templar' or the ability 'Champion of the New Radiant Order'

Orkanith feels an oily wave of paralyzing fear pass over and through him, leaving him shaken but unharmed. No response from the Radiant Armor.

The hulk shudders, chains rattling out from beneath his shroud in long looping coils. It grips it's greatclub in both hands and bounds toward Orkanith.

Actions?

Orkanith meets his enemy head on and uses

Execution Strike- (Spell, Sword Arts, Darkness & Physical, 40,000 MP, 20,000,000 Gold) +20,000 Melee Attack, 60% inflicts Wounded, Inflicts Instant Death on targets below Level 20, Caster must be Level 20 or greater and must be wielding a Sword worth 20,000,000 Gold or more

Keeping in mind that his abilities have no darkness due to his blade of tje radiance being active

Orkanith, much faster than his lumbering opponent, steps forward, inside of the hulk's strike and delivering a powerful blow himself, dealing moderate-to-high damage and checking his opponent's momentum.

The hulk staggers off balance, and it's flailing strike is easily dodged by Orkanith, who side-steps the blow.

The chains however, sent looping through the air by the sudden movement, catch the Fallen Angel, cracking against both his physical form and his spirit, dealing light damage and light Spirit Damage.


Actions?

Orkanith grimaces at what this creature is he wills energy into his blade and surges forward with his attack not unleashing an explosion but rather containing it in his blade to strike his enemy.

Atomic Wave-Slash- (Spell, Sword Arts, Atomic, 170,000 HP, 70,000,000 Gold) +70,000 Melee Attack, 70% inflicts Poison: Irradiated, 1 hit against 600,000, Caster must have a Sword equipped

Orky's blades glow with ominous green radiance as he surges forward, swiping at the hulk with an atomic slash that deals heavy damage and knocks it back several feet.

The hulk reels backward and screams, the high-pitched shriek reverberating through the enclosed space. The piles of animal bones begin to shake, rising in the air and pointing their suddenly-wicked points at Orkanith.

Orkanith pulls out

Day Dragon's Gem- (Accessory, Crystal, Light, 9,000,000 Gold) +9,000 Magical Attack, +8,500 to all stats, +50,000 Damage to all of possessor's damage-dealing actions that are Light element as a non-stacking effect

Then he uses

Sweeping Slash- (Technique Ability, Swordsman) Possessor may use 'Sweeping Slash' in conjunction with a 'Melee Attack' action, so long as no other technique is used and possessor has a Sword equipped. Said attack gains '1 hit against 3' and deals 2/3 Damage.

In combination with

Execution Strike- (Spell, Sword Arts, Darkness & Physical, 40,000 MP, 20,000,000 Gold) +20,000 Melee Attack, 60% inflicts Wounded, Inflicts Instant Death on targets below Level 20, Caster must be Level 20 or greater and must be wielding a Sword worth 20,000,000 Gold or more

The giant is the main target in the matter.

Okanith steps back, harnessing the power of the Day Dragon's Gem and sweeping his weapons in a broad arc in front of him, sending about two thirds of the bones clattering back to the ground as the Light chains between them. The hulk manages to avoid the worst of the attack, seeming to be hurt more by the Day Gem's magic than by the tactical swordsmanship, taking moderate damage. It's looking rather worse-for-wear.

The remaining bones and the hulk rush Orkanith together, the sharpened bones clattering off of the fallen angel's armor for minimal damage, but providing enough of a distraction for the hulk to finally land a solid blow on Orkanith with it's greatclub, dealing moderate damage and sending him back through the door and into the hallway. The noise echoes down the silent corridors, and Orkanith can hear distant screams echoing back in response.

Orkanith reels from tje blow he took from tje giants mace. He charges the waveblade and unleashes the power of the waveblade on all of the creatures combined with

Execution Strike- (Spell, Sword Arts, Darkness & Physical, 40,000 MP, 20,000,000 Gold) +20,000 Melee Attack, 60% inflicts Wounded, Inflicts Instant Death on targets below Level 20, Caster must be Level 20 or greater and must be wielding a Sword worth 20,000,000 Gold or more

Orkanith charges his waveblade, releasing an arc of crackling red energy that washes through the corridor, phasing through the blackstone walls and out of sight.

The Hulk, while too-high-level to be felled by the Execution-Strike's inherent effect, is still hit head-on with a wave of sword-energy that scythes it cleanly in half. The remaining bones clatter to the floor, lifeless once more.

Orkanith receives XP for a level 35 opponent.

He's back in the corridor. Exits are to the North, South/East, North/East (Where the Hulk was), and West.

Due to the undead giant, Orkanith is going to go back into that same room and take a look around to see if anything was in there that needed to be guarded.

Orkanith re-enters the room to the east.

He sees a circular room, walls and ceiling covered in bas-relief sculptures of animals engaged in bloody warfare, ripping and tearing eachother regardless of species or relative position in the food chain. Similarly carved pillars ring the room. Piles of broken bones are strewn across the floor and under the in-two-pieces body of the giant.

He gives the room a cursory once-over to see what, if anything, the hulk was guarding.

He finds:

Undead Aspirant's Greatclub- (Weaponx2, Hammer, Darkness & Physical, ??? Gold), +20,000 Melee Attack, +10,000 STR, +10,000 CON, 110% To Hit, 45% Critical, 40% Inflicts an instance of Fatigued: Stun that ignores the immunities and resistances of individuals below Level 20.

Undead Aspirant's Girdle of Spirit-Cracking Chains- (Armor OR Accessoryx2, Light Armor OR Belt, Darkness & Magic, ??? Gold) +15,000 Defense, This item may be equipped in either an Armor slot or an Accessory slot, gaining the subtype Light Armor if equipped as an Armor and the subtype Belt if equipped as an Accessory. The wearer may, one per round, as a counter to an offensive action targeting the wearer, deal 100,000 Flat Darkness & Magic Element Damage and 5,000 SPI damage to the source of the offensive action.

Around the hulk's neck, welded to a spiked collar but still easily removed with Orky's waveblade, is....

1/3 Nadir of Solitude Key, (Quest Item, Darkness, X Gold) Has RP Effects.

Orkanith with his new loot leaves the room he moves to the door to the west and sticks his head into the room to see what he can see.

Western Room:

A rectangular chamber of darkstone. The floor is bisected by a large pit filled with cruelly pointed spikes, each glistening with ghostly radiance. The carved murals here show humanoids leading livestock to slaughtering blocks. A banded wooden door stands on the other side of the pit.

Exists are to the West and returning East.

Orkanith looks around the room to try and see if there is a way across the pit.

Orkanith examines the room more closely. The carvings on the walls, when examined more closely, show the roads upon which the animals are being led are pocked with deep pits. Some of the animals seem to be leaping over the pits, while others are merely walking across the expanses of darkness.

The pit extends to both edges of the chamber, leaving no way of reaching the other side without crossing it one way or another.

Orkanith will put a foot out to see if he can walk across like the drawings depict if not he shall float across.

Orkanith puts a foot out over the pit and tests the empty air. There's a thick jelly-like feeling that he's certain would carry his weight, but it's disconcerting nonetheless.

A voice echoes in his mind.

Tch. Your former associates in the Isles have delivered poor Pithama back unto the Eldest Fear. They are proving to be a bit more a nuisance than originally anticipated.

Orkanith responds in his mind to Kabanha, "You were a fool to underestimate them Kabanha, Pithma was a weak simple minded fool. I advise you let them be they know nothing of your plans and you also wont lose more of your circle. As well i suspect they are sending for reinforcements, but im not 100% certain if they do i know of one who they are sending for and believe me you do not want her here shes as every bit capable as i am."

Orkanith strides forward moving to the other side of the pit and opening the door.

[Modrageball]

There is silence across the telepathic connection.

Orkanith strides forward, the jelly-thickness supporting him as he walks across empty air, the ghost-lit spikes winking in the darkness of the chamber.

He's nearly entirely across when a stabbing pain echoes through his entire everything, sending barbs of agony screaming through his body and mind. The Fallen Angel stumbles, and his path across the pit begins to collapse under his feet as he falls. With a burst of adrenaline, Orkanith manages to lunge forward and grab the far edge of the pit, gritting through the pain to pull himself up onto the opposite side.

My apologies, Radiant One Kabhana's voice purrs. Some of the ministrations I must apply to your fledgling soul can be so trying to one's physical form. Do remember who holds you in their hand.

Orkanith is inflicted with an instance of Pain that ignores resistances and immunities! It's probably temporary.

Pain (Possessor gets -5% To Hit, There is a 12% chance that that possessor may not act each action; effects that would occur before each action still occur)



The door is opened, revealing a smaller chamber with a stone chest at it's center flanked by two tall candlesticks that burn with eldritch light.

Orkanith waits till the pain subsides then he looks around the room and tries to see if said chest could be booby trapped then he shall open it.

The pain does not subside! Orkanith gets the impression it's sticking around until a condition is met.

He examines the chest carefully, but is unable to find any evidence of booby-traps.

Upon opening it he finds a small twisted piece of metal, gaining:

1/3 Nadir of Solitude Key, (Quest Item, Darkness, X Gold) Has RP Effects.

He heads back to the hallway from whence he began and finally goes into the first door he entered when he first enetered the hall.

Orkanith carefully renavigates the pit, and heads to the northern door in the previous corridor.

He enters a rectangular chamber of dark, carved stone. Two more silent thrones with bleached skeletons, holding tall, wickedly pointed spears.

The far wall contains a recess stacked with neat pyramids of coal.

Exits are a banded wooden door to the north, and returning the way you came.

Orkanith recasts using his mp


Blade of the Radiance: Proof of the Shining Soul- (Spell, Other: Radiant Magic, Light, 92 MP OR 92 HP, 92,000 Gold) All weapons wielded by caster gain +100 Melee Attack, gain the element Light, lose the element Darkness, and gain a 5% chance of inflicting Awestruck as a buff that does not stack on the same item and stacks 10 times across all items per wielder

he then uses the light to examine the room further then he will approach the 2 skeletons on the far side of the room.

Orkanith does his best to ignore the throbbing pain filling his body and relights his sword, carefully examining the room further.

Two basalt thrones, identical to the two seen earlier, stand in the middle of the room, where two bleached skeletons sit, tall, wickedly pointed spears gripped in fleshless hands.

The far wall contains a recess filled with neatly stacked coal that, when examined more closely, radiates a faint magical aura.

The skeletons are approached!

Orkanith knowing that it is probably a trap proceeds to the door to proceed to the next room.

Orkanith strides across the room, opening the banded wooden door and entering the next room, a long, arched hallway studded with pillars and unlit braziers.

Two skeletons, large barbed axes leaning against their shoulders, sit upon basalt thrones, flanking a dais topped with a silver-banded chest at the far end of the room. The chest has a large ornate lock upon it, as well as a plaque upon the dais.

Orkanith will read the plaque

The plaque reads:

Aspirant Seeker upon the Paths of Power,
Unlock thee the Emblem Mystery.
Green, Red, Blue, and the Keyless lock shall open.

Orkanith facepalms "I knew it" he looks at the skeletons "any insight as to what this nonsense means?"

Orkanith will return to the other room to examine the stacks of coal more closely.

Orkanith returns to the previous room and examines the coal more closely.

It radiates a bit of hard-to-place magic. It is dusty from sitting in the recess for so long. Was there something that Orkanith has seen in the Crypt that could burn fuel?

Orkanith will take several pieces of the coal and then turn to the skeletons use with his

Day Dragon's Gem- (Accessory, Crystal, Light, 9,000,000 Gold) +9,000 Magical Attack, +8,500 to all stats, +50,000 Damage to all of possessor's damage-dealing actions that are Light element as a non-stacking effect


Execution Strike- (Spell, Sword Arts, Darkness & Physical, 40,000 MP, 20,000,000 Gold) +20,000 Melee Attack, 60% inflicts Wounded, Inflicts Instant Death on targets below Level 20, Caster must be Level 20 or greater and must be wielding a Sword worth 20,000,000 Gold or more

as well as

Sweeping Slash- (Technique Ability, Swordsman) Possessor may use 'Sweeping Slash' in conjunction with a 'Melee Attack' action, so long as no other technique is used and possessor has a Sword equipped. Said attack gains '1 hit against 3' and deals 2/3 Damage.

Orkanith pockets a few pieces of the slightly magical coal.

The Day-Gem flashes! Orkanith Slashes! The skeletons take heavy damage as they're caught off guard and sent sprawling off of their thrones, bones strewn across the floor.

With shuddering clacking noises, the skeletons reassemble, circling around Orkanith with their wicked, long-pointed spears at the ready, their hollow eyes burning with blue pinpricks of eldritch light.

Orkanith will repeat his actions!

Blue eyes blazing, the Skeletons act as one, piercing Orkanith, dealing moderate damage 2 times as the chill of death seeps into the fallen angel.


Pain suffuses Orkanith, but he manages to shake off it's "potential-not-being-able-to-act" effect, and repeats his slash, hitting both skeletons for moderate damage and slapping them back against the wall once more.

Orkanith jumps to the opposite side of the room as the skeletons with the dragon gem in hand he charges his waveblade and draws several lines in the air and pushes it forward to strike his enemies.

Orkanith fights through the pain to follow up on his previous attack, sending lines of slashing force across the room with a thunderclap of energy, sending the bones of the spear-skeletons scattered across the floor. Sparks of magic cascade across the stones as the energies holding the skeletons together evaporate.

Orkanith feels like he's learned something.

Sweeping Slash Specialization (Passive Ability, Swordsman) Attacks including possessor's "Sweeping Slash" Technique gain +5,000 Melee Attack and may gain one of the following modifications when used, with said modification lasting the duration of the attack:
-Possessor's "Sweeping Slash" Technique Ability gains '1 hit against 10' instead of '1 hit against 3'.
-Possessor's "Sweeping Slash" Technique Ability loses the text 'and deals 2/3 Damage'.
-Possessor's "Sweeping Slash" Technique Ability may gain an additional '1 hit against 3'.



The room is quiet.

[Modrageball]

Orkanith will return to the original room of the dungeon with the skeletons with the swords. He will with the dragon gem use

Execution Strike- (Spell, Sword Arts, Darkness & Physical, 40,000 MP, 20,000,000 Gold) +20,000 Melee Attack, 60% inflicts Wounded, Inflicts Instant Death on targets below Level 20, Caster must be Level 20 or greater and must be wielding a Sword worth 20,000,000 Gold or more

As well as

Sweeping Slash- (Technique Ability, Swordsman) Possessor may use 'Sweeping Slash' in conjunction with a 'Melee Attack' action, so long as no other technique is used and possessor has a Sword equipped. Said attack gains '1 hit against 3' and deals 2/3 Damage.

If he may make use of the ability he just obtained he would like to use

Possessor's "Sweeping Slash" Technique Ability loses the text 'and deals 2/3 Damage'.

Orkanith jogs back down the hall to the first room!

As he enters, the Sword-Skeleton hiding beside the door stabs him, dealing moderate unhealable damage as the blow catches Orkanith off-guard.

Sweeping away from his sudden attacker, Orky spins both his Axe and Waveblade, shearing across both Skeletons for heavy damage as the presence of Light weakens their necromantic life.

Orkanith creates a gap between him and the skeletons and uses the power of the waveblade and drowns the skeletons in a wave of light.

With a slash, the Sword-Skeletons are sent flying to pieces, red light extinguished from their eyes.

Orkanith gets XP for 2 Level 21 entities.

Orkanith pulls out the coals ge took and puts them in the furnace.

Orkanith piles the coals into the furnace, which flashes to life, bathing the room in witch-light and foul, acrid smoke.

When the coals are done burning (This is very soon, the furnace consuming the fuel supernaturally fast, there's a mote of energy left in the bottom. It is:

1 Bonus Weeks.

Orkanith sticks his hand out and absorbs the mote of energy. He then returns to the room with the stacks of coal. Orkanith faces the door and noticing something earlier in his fight with the giant he charges his waveblade along with the dragon gem and sends a wave of energy at the wall hoping that It will do what it did earlier and go through it striking the skeletons behind the wall.

Orkanith gains the Bonus Week! He turns around, heading back to the room with the chest. Outside, he decides to send a wave of energy into the room via his waveblade.

He hears a hiss from inside!

Orkanith sighs and repeats his actions drawing line after line in the air to send through the wall hopefully destroying whatever is making the hissing noises on the other side.

Orkanith draws line after line of energy in the air, watching as they sweep through the walls into the room with the chest.

After several minutes of this, the hissing stops, and Orkanith thinks he hears the clatter of bones to the floor.

Orkanith pokes his head in the door to see if the skeletons are dead if they are dead he will go in and walk up to the chest seeing as it should open now.

Orkanith slowly opens the door and pokes his head in. Two of the sets of braziers are lit now, flickering in phantom-shades of red and blue. Strewn across the floor in front of the chest are a loose collection of bones, axes held limply in skeletal hands.

He enters the room, striding toward the chest, Pain throbbing through his body still, distracting him just enough that the axes, flung by the skeletal hands, catch him off guard.

He manages to parry one aside with a flick of his Draugr's axe, but the other catches him in the shoulder, sending him staggering to the side, dealing moderate unhealable damage. With a crash, the axes fall to the ground, and the third set of braziers ignite, green fire filling their receptacles.

The lock on the chest *clicks*.

<Health Checkup! Orky's doing well, but he's still inflicted with Pain, and the unhealable damage from the skeletons' unhallowed weapons is sticky. He's maxed out at about 70% HP right now.>

Orkanith will loot the chest.

Orkanith opens the chest! Inside is the third:

1/3 Nadir of Solitude Key, (Quest Item, Darkness, X Gold) Has RP Effects.

With a magnetic *ffzzpt*, all three key shards combine.

He loses:

3 1/3 Nadir of Solitude Key, (Quest Item, Darkness, X Gold) Has RP Effects.

And gains:

1 Nadir of Solitude Key, (Quest Item, Darkness, X Gold) Has RP Effects.

Orkanith tries to contact kabanha "i have collected 3 pieces of an item that combined into 1 item, is this what you wanted me to collect?"

No, O Radiant One, you have not yet found that which I demand. Delve deeper into the Nadir of Solitude and learn the lessons thereinfound.

Orkanith rolls his eyes and returns to the original room and walks up to the only door he has not entered as of yetand pulls out the key and enters the door.

Orkanith returns to the first room and carefully approaches the previously trapped door. The completed key leaps from his hand, slicing apart a tangle of invisible magical traps. The door creaks open.

Stairs lead down, into darkness.

Orkanith again recasts:

Blade of the Radiance: Proof of the Shining Soul- (Spell, Other: Radiant Magic, Light, 92 MP OR 92 HP, 92,000 Gold) All weapons wielded by caster gain +100 Melee Attack, gain the element Light, lose the element Darkness, and gain a 5% chance of inflicting Awestruck as a buff that does not stack on the same item and stacks 10 times across all items per wielder

Illuminating the stairwell with his weapons he heads down the stairs.

Orkanith heads downstairs, his Waveblade a brand against darkness, casting long shadows up the stairs behind him. After several minutes, the stairs level out and open into an oblong chamber.

The chamber is, like the rooms in the floor above, carved from floor to ceiling with intricate engravings. A heavy stone door is set into the wall opposite Orkanith. Two pedestals, each with a lever, are set in opposite corners of the room.

[Modrageball]

Orkanith walks up to the levers contemplating what to do.

The levers are in the left and right corners of the room!

Orkanith can choose which one to approach, but it's impossible to approach both.

He will approach the one on the left first and pull the lever

Orkanith pads across the room and pulls the left lever. He hears a whir of gears, a clank of mechanisms, and the door heaves momentarily, but does not open. He gets the impression that both levers have to be pulled at once.

Radiant One, heed one of the lessons of my Nadir of Solitude. A circle is made of an infinite span of points, and is yet one singular whole. Just so, our Unbroken Circle is made of an infinite span of disciples, working in concert to bring a true end to the Eldest Fear.

A portal of inky blackness unzips in the air next to Orkanith, and he sees Elder Kabanha push through a child-sized figure as the portal closes.

The figure stands, dusting itself off and adjusting the veil covering the bottom half of her face. Talitha, Least of the Unbroken Circle, glares up at the fallen angel.

"I'm no happier about this than you are, you horrible monster." she pouts.

"Oh hey there Talitha, it has been a while hasn't it? Well shall we just get this over with then go to the other lever and let's pull them in unison. " When she crosses the room to her lever Orkanith will count and will pull the lever.

"Yes, it has been a while since you sliced me in half." Talitha snarks. "And look at you now! Pretending like you're part of our family!" She marches over to Orkanith, glaring up at him. "I'm going to have fun watching you fail, 'O Radiant One'."

She flounces over the lever in the opposite corner.

"Let's get out of here." she says, and pulls alongside the fallen angel.

The door rumbles and slides open, revealing a oval chamber with a large chain hanging from a trapdoor in the ceiling. Another locked slab bars your progress further toward the Nadir.

"Dont take it personally hun i just dont take kindly to people screwing with my friends. By the way if i fail here so do you, kabanha did not seem to happy with you when he sent you here. Want to do me a favor darling and pull on that chain?"

Talitha shakes her head.

"What you don't know could fill a book, Radiant One."

She approaches the center of the room and pulls the chain.

The trapdoor in the ceiling rumbles, dislodging dust as it opens, revealing a stone vent, angling away into shadow. Talitha smiles. "Be a dear and head on up to unlock this door, will you? I promise to keep the trapdoor open."

"Geez if only you were not so obvious in your intents child....fine i shall play along." Orkanith grabs the chain from talitha and uses his veil rending strength to rip the door off its hinges. He then flies into the vent and unlocks the door.

Orkanith snatches the chain from Talitha's hands and wrenches the chain downward, intending to rip the trap-doors off of his hinges. He pulls, feeling the chain strain under his Render-boosted strength as the trapdoor slams into the ceiling, dislodging still more dust and loose masonry. With a sound like a thunderclap, the sheet of stone cracks and falls, booming as it breaks into a dozen pieces a few feet from Talitha and Orkanith. She rolls her eyes.

Orkanith then flies up into the vent, which twists to the left, and then the right before ending in a small, dusty lever.

The sides of the vent, Orkanith notices, are very nearly porous, filled with a honeycomb of smaller, almost organic looking tunnels.

He hears a shriek from down below, accompanied by the tell-tall ozone smell of magic wafting up into the vent. And the buzz of...insects?

Orkanith will fly out of the vent and to see what is going on. If necessary he will save Talitha from the insects and place her close to the door where we need to go. "We need to vanquish these insects, and we need to do it now." Orkanith wills energy into his blade it starts to glow a radiant greenish color he casts:

Atomic Wave-Slash- (Spell, Sword Arts, Atomic, 170,000 HP, 70,000,000 Gold) +70,000 Melee Attack, 70% inflicts Poison: Irradiated, 1 hit against 600,000, Caster must have a Sword equipped

Orkanith awkwardly turns around in the vent, it's tight confines making free movement difficult. As he shuffles around, he comes face to face with an seething mass of locust-bodied insects, pouring from the holes in the walls around him. They boil towards Orkanith, stinging and biting him for light damage. He charges his sword with lime-green atomic energy, but in such tight confines, his ability to slash is impeded, and he awkwardly prods the swarm, flushing the vent with atomic energy, nonetheless dealing heavy damage to the swarm, crisping many of the insects, but he's unable to avoid the atomic blowback, which flumes both backwards toward him and out of the trapdoor in the ceiling. Both Orkanith and Talitha take light damage from the irradiated energy.

"Pull the lever, you idiot!" Talitha shrieks. Orkanith can see flashes of umbral light filter up from the room below, casting unearthly shadows on the vent's stone ceiling.

Insects continue to pour from the walls and ceiling of the vent.

Orkanith pulls the lever and leaves the vent

Orkanith kicks backwards, flipping the lever with his foot as he propels himself through the already-reforming swarm of locust-things and out of vent, landing gracefully by Talitha, who is holding a wand and flicking it in long, elegant patterns, eyes narrowed in satisfaction as the swarms of locust things fall, one after another.

The door begins to inch upward, slowly. It's going to take a few rounds to fully open.

The locust-things coalesce into the loose, swarmborn shape of a death's head, dripping Darkness mana in sticky gobs.

"continue attacking" Orkanith grabs talitha and retreats to the door to wait for it to move upwards, he then draws a pattern between the two of them and the insects and pushes the wave towards the insects.

Orkanith grabs Talitha by the collar. She yelps, but continues her magical assault, shearing off slices of insect-skull as the pair retreat. Orkanith charges his waveblade and draws a pattern in the air, pushing it toward the skull, which shrinks noticeably as more locust-things fall to the ground.

Behind them, the door continues to inch upward.

The locust-skull thing skins, it's rictus grin distorting and smearing as the locust-things swarm. Orkanith feels a weight drop around his shoulders as magic radiates out in black patterns. Orkanith feels suddenly unlucky.

Orkanith continues his wave assault on the insects, "Kabanha what the hell did they do to me?"

It seems these creatures have the ability bestow ill-fortune. How unlucky. Kabanha purrs.

Talitha snorts. "Not to worry." she says, flicking her wand at Orkanith. He feels the mantle of misfortune lift from his shoulders and sail across the chamber to settle on the death's head, which begins to swarm erratically as it's insects bump into each other, their synchronicity addled.

Orkanith fights through the still-present Pain to slash at the locust-things again, hacking away a good third of their addled shrinking skull with ribbons of radiant energy.

Behind Orky, the door has opened enough for Talitha to drop to the floor and shimmy under, quick as a snake.

The swarm, getting desparate, rushes Orkanith, scouring him with a cloud of teeth and claws for light damage.

Orkanith continues with the power of the waveblade he also adds to the mix

Execution Strike- (Spell, Sword Arts, Darkness & Physical, 40,000 MP, 20,000,000 Gold) +20,000 Melee Attack, 60% inflicts Wounded, Inflicts Instant Death on targets below Level 20, Caster must be Level 20 or greater and must be wielding a Sword worth 20,000,000 Gold or more

Orkanith backs against the door, slicing in circles around him with killing intent, depleting the swarm until it retreats, straggling insects falling to the floor as they do.

Orkanith gains XP for a level 35 entity.

The door finishes opening with a dusty thud, revealing Talitha leaning against the wall, smiling with her eyes at Orkanith.

"How nice of you to join me!" she says. "Are you done lollygagging? We have an item to retrieve."

The next chamber is bigger than any Orky's seen so far, the ceiling out of sight, shrouded in darkness.

Pillars as wide as three orkaniths fade into the gloom, and, in the middle distance, silhouetted by a shaft of light, is a pedestal with a a small dish atop it.

[Modrageball]

Orkanith shoots a small wave of light towards the ceiling to illuminate the darkness, "I have a bad feeling about this room here we should be careful."

Musical Accompaniment.

Orkanith shoots a small wave of light up toward the ceiling. This wave of light illuminates the corpse of a massive humanoid tiger pinned to the ceiling by long, black spikes, vanishing back into shadow as the wave disperses.

A dark, rich voice rumbles out of the darkness.

"Kabanha, have you sent me more morsels? When I suck the marrow from their bones, will you end my torment?"

In the darkness, there are snapping sounds, followed by a rush of displaced air.

We shall see, old friend. We shall see, Kabanha purrs.

Declare your actions.

Orkanith pulls Talitha close to him so she doesn't get caught up in the attack, he charges the waveblade and draws a large elaborate design in the air and sends it surging towards the creature.

Orkanith reaches out pulls Talitha close, ignoring her muffled yelp of disapproval as he weaves a lattice of wave-energy in front of him, sending it soaring across the chamber with a slash of his wave-blade.

The lattice-design illuminates the chamber as it flies, revealing a glimpse of a large, four-legged shape, all hanging skin and glimpses of bone, darting behind one of the pillars with preternatural swiftness. The lattice impacts the chamber, sending dust and loose masonry cascading from the ceiling and pulverizing the pillar the monstrosity is hiding behind.

The rich, deep voice fills the chambers with an eerie, sing-song chant. Black blood splatters the edges of their circle of radiant light in macabe arcs, sizzling and bubbling, little feline arms scrabbling out of the blood and forming 3 small, squat striped tiger-demons that grin up at Talitha and Orkanith as their forms solidify.

Talitha, from behind Orkanith, waves her wand, creating a spiral ribbon of purple-pink magic that surrounds the demons and restrains them, tying itself in a neat bow as the minor demons hiss and scratch at their restraints.

The large rakshasha darts from behind the wreckage of the pillar, sliding, snakelike behind the next, large stained claws creeping around the edges, as if inviting it's opponents to come closer.

"Any ideas on how to proceed Talitha?" Orkanith again draws an elaborate design in the air and sends it surging forward.

Talitha continues to twist and twirl her wand, retying the knot around the truculent demons. "Wish I could help." Talitha snarls, "But our dear Kabanha seems to have changed the trial since I came through here last time. We've got to find a way to pin it down."

Orkanith draws a second lattice of energy, sending it across the chamber, splintering another pillar. The rakshasa takes minor damage from the pieces of masonry and bounds out from it's hiding place, back on the edge of vision, chanting profane syllables that ring through Orkanith's ears. The air in the chamber feels suddenly hot, humid and oppressive with the warmth of alien jungles. The scent of hot blood fills Orkanith's nose.

Orkanith takes minor damage and is inflicted with Hexed and Wounded: Bleeding as the otherwordly Blood magic wracks his body.

Talitha takes moderate damage and is inflicted with Wounded: Bleeding and Pain.

Actions?

Orkanith harnesses the power of a Day Dragon's Gem and performs a Melee Overdrive on the vile Rakashasa.

Orkanith bleeds, taking light damage. He taps into his Identity as a Champion of the New Radiant Order, Armor and Weaponry flaring into searing radiance as he sheds the Blood-Hex from his essence (He is no longer inflicted with Hexed) and charges the Rakshasa, bearing down on it with axe and blade held like two fiery brands. His antlers (forgot he had those, didya?) babble encouragement as he does.

The dead rakshasa, surprised Orkanith's speed and ferocity, twists, body blurring as it attempts to craft an illusionary veil, misleading the attack. Orkanith swings faster, dealing moderate-to-high damage as he smites the tiger-demon, but fails to inflict any of his bevy of status effects. He notices that while his light-infused attack strikes true, his Draugr's Axe, a weapon of solid Physicality, seems to glance off the Rakshasa's magical hide. The searing attack cauterizes the wound, preventing the Rakshasa from siring any more Blood Children.

The Rakshasa, writhing in pain, slithers out and around the radiant undead(ish) angel, forking into 5 identical Rakshasa, which in turn fork and divide into 25, the edges of the new Mirror Legion blurring and leaking shadow.

Talitha finishes strangling the existing minidemons, which pop like overripe fruit and return to the blood from which they were born. She wipes corpse-sweat from her brow and examines the legion of Rakshasa striding throughout the chamber, filling the air with the cacophony of their rumbling laughter. She scoffs and pricks her finger, dripping her own black blood in a small circle before her, smearing it with one foot as she breaks the design and chants a word of magic that cuts, like a scythe through wheat, through the darkness of the chamber. The Rakshasa-copies frizz and dissolve like morning mist, leaving the real foe to stamp a clawed paw in frustration. Talitha chuckles. "He's all yours, "O Radiant One"."

He looks at Talitha "Thanks doll face." he looks back to the Rakshasa "Your filth will no longer taint this world monster, its time for you to stay dead." Orkanith again performs a melee overdrive on the tiger demon.

The Rakshasa chuckles bitterly.

"Would that you could, lichling. Can you release me?"

Orkanith bleeds, taking light damage, and prepares to leap forward after the demontiger. His legs spasm with Pain and he falls to one knee, unable to act this round.

Talitha bleeds, taking light damage. She begins to hover, twirling her wand once more and leaving a ribbon of sickly-orange energy that snakes toward the Rakshasa, impacting it for light damage as it slides obliquely off it's Magic resistant corpse.

The Rakshasa leaps straight up, body twisting as it clutches the ceiling overhead, eyes finding Talitha and flashing with a purple malice. Talitha screams and falls to the ground, taking moderate MIN damage and becoming inflicted with MIN Drain and Mindblasted.

"No! Talitha!" Orkanith thinks to Kabanha "Make the pain stop or Talitha is going to die." Orkanith repeats his actions to help draw attention away from Talitha.

Kabanha's wheezing laughter echoes through Orkanith's mind.

I'm afraid those aren't the magic words, my dear pupil. Try again.

Orkanith bleeds for light damage. Talitha shudders as she takes moderate psychic element damage from Mindblasted.

Fighting through the pain, Orkanith leaps into the air. His wings of shadow carry him upward toward the ceiling, where he slams into the Rakshasa, blade first. The Overdriven attack pierces the undead demon's reflexive illusions, pinning him to the ceiling and dealing heavy damage. The ceiling cracks from the force of the blow, sending Orkanith and his foe tumbling to the floor of the chamber amid an avalanche of stone and dust. Both take moderate damage from the impact and falling debris.

Talitha stumbles to her feet, clutching her head with one hand. She begins muttering and tracing a sigil beneath her feet in headache-inducing purple light.

The Rakshasa rakes Orkanith with it's terrible claws as it attempts to scramble away from the terrible radiance. Orkanith takes light damage as his Radiant Armor blunts the Darkness of it's strikes.

Orkanith is rather the worse for wear, hovering below half HP.

Actions?

Orkanith says to Kabanha "I yield Kabanha! I apologize for speaking out against you and for calling you a fool, now please just make it stop! I must defeat this beast to keep talitha alive..." Orkanith repeats his actions screaming "you shall not prevail on this day demon!!!!"

A satisfied purr rumbles across the chamber.

Wisdom arrives at last. Remember who holds your soul, O Radiant One.

Orkanith's Pain vanishes, washed away by in a tide of Invigoration.

His Invigoration allowing him to ignore his Bleeding to no negative effect, Orkanith wrenches his armaments free and uses his Third Overdrive to impale the Undead Rakshasa over and over again, each impact a wave of intermingled Light and Darkness casting huge inhuman shadows on the dust in the air and further, across the walls of the chamber. The Rakshasa takes heavy damage as it's body begins to break apart.

The Rakshasa screams in a mixture of relief and pain, blood spraying through the air in thick black arcs, bubbling into smaller tiger-faced wretches, giggling and scrambling at thin air.

Which are promptly popped, one by one, by lances of bright purple. Talitha, standing in the center of a magical mandala of eye-watering purple light that bubbles up around her, still clutching her head, twirls her wand once more. The bubbles of light around her narrow into wicked barbs and sail across the obscured chamber, cutting through dust and falling rubble to pin the Rakshasa to the ground by it's wrists, ankles, and throat. The Rakshasa takes moderate damage and is Paralyzed by the coruscating light. It loses its action.

Actions?

Orkanith charges his waveblade and unleashes

Atomic Wave-Slash- (Spell, Sword Arts, Atomic, 170,000 HP, 70,000,000 Gold) +70,000 Melee Attack, 70% inflicts Poison: Irradiated, 1 hit against 600,000, Caster must have a Sword equipped

"Its time for you to die!!!!!!!"

Orkanith charges his blade with neon-green energy and unleashes a point-blank Atomic Wave Slash at the pinned Rakshasa. The undead demon's body is lit up like a roman candle, atomic fire flooding it from the inside as it explodes in a wave of energy and light. The chamber shudders as the undead Rakshasa's essence is irrevocably scattered.

"Thank...You. Ah... I Smell... The Jungle...Waiting For Me..."

Orkanith gains:

20,000 XP

Mirror Legion- (Spell, Illusion Magic, Illusion, 75,000 MP, 7,500,000 Gold) Target gains +40% Dodge and may choose to count as a Unit, does not stack




The pedestal remains miraculously untouched in the center of the chamber, surrounded by pieces of broken masonry and motes of residual magic.

Talitha shakes her head, clearing it of the Rakshasa's residual hexes.

"Go grab what you need to grab. Then let's get out of here." she croaks.

Orkanith strides up to the pedestal and picks up the dish and leaves the room with Talitha to head back to the main chamber where Kabanha waits for him.

Orkanith's Bleeding tapers off as he catches his breath.

The angel strides across the ruined chamber toward the pedestal and the dish atop it.

Within is a small oily black stone, etched and carved into the rough approximation of a heart.

As Orkanith lifts it from the dish, he feels a red lassitude wash over him, a light-headed mixture of weakness and strength. Kabanha's voice echoes through his mind.

I am most pleased, Radiant One. Bring the Anahatalith to me and we will see what fruit your soul may bear.

Carrying the stone is harder than it should be. As Orkanith and Talitha work their way back through the Nadir of Solitude to Kabanha's chamber, Orkanith continues to feel the stone's influence wax and wane across his consciousness in vertiginous waves. It makes his new, ragged absence of soul ache like a broken window.

Kabanha is waiting for them, floating above the black altar, Orkanith's proto-phylactery spinning gently above one wrong-jointed paw.

"Welcome back," Kabanha purrs. "Talitha, you have served your purpose. Your own minder can see what lessons you have gleaned from this exercise. Begone."

Talitha opens her mouth to protest but vanishes as a inky purple portal opens beneath her feet, and with a *whoop* she falls through it, out of the chamber. The portal closes quickly behind her.

"Now," Kabanha nods to Orkanith. "Tell me. What lessons have you learned?"

"What i have learned Elder is that we are one, yet we are many. We need to rely on one another if we are to succeed in our ventures. It is as you said a circle is a single object yet it is made up of many points. That is what i have learned, now we have another matter to attend to Elder, we need to gather the other Elders so that i may deliver some kind of warning."

Kabanha claps its twisted paws together delightedly.

"Ex~cellent." it purrs. "You may not be a useless pupil after all. Your synthesis is astute, Radiant One."

He floats down to Orkanith, eyes narrowing cautiously. "What manner of warning do you seek to relate, pupil, that would demand the attendance of the entire Circle of Elders? They are not an assembly to be called upon lightly."

[Modrageball]

Orkanith gets a furrowed confused look on his face "Useless?.....ok now's not the time to argue about that. My companions in the cartographers league have probably told someone of the existence of the Unbroken Circle which could be troublesome for us down the road, what are your thoughts on this Elder?"

Elder Kabanha taps its withered chin.

"A potential trouble, to be sure. Our plans continue apace, but unwanted attention from our enemies could yet mar all. Outlander interference was unexpected at such an early stage," Kabanha muses, "....yes. Let us convene the Circle."

Kabanha snaps its wizened fingers and the etchings in the stone chamber begin to glow with ghostly radiance.

"Black Flame, I heed Your Whispers," Kabanha begins. A mote of pitch-black fire, radiating anti-light across the chamber and rapaciously devouring the light from the carvings, appears. "By the Annular Oath, by the Precepts of the Dusk Pact, I Demand your Obeisance."

The black fire grows flickering wildly in the still air. Orkanith finds his shadow cast toward the Black Flame.

"Black Flame, open me the Way to Paradise."

The Black Flame expands into an ellipse of inky absence, limit rimmed with looping prominences of obsidian fire.

Elder Kabanha motions toward the portal. "Follow me, Radiant Pupil. This, heh, may be a lesson all it's own."

Okranith looks at Kabanha then back at the portal and takes a deep breath and strides forward into the portal that will take him to “paradise.”

Orkanith steps through the inky portal and is stretched, molecule by molecule, apart, each iota of his being spinning independently as he is hurtled through darkness. The heat is unbearable, even to his deadened senses. There is no distance, no sense of time or space. Only claustrophobic blackness on all sides, pouring into Orkanith and pouring through him.

And then, after an eternity of dark passage, Orkanith is suddenly deposited, in a belch of anti-light, in a lush garden. Banyan, rubber, jujube, and almond trees loom above him on all sides, trapped in a state of perpetual flowering, their heady perfume mixing with the banks and fields of multivariate flowers spreading in all directions. A small ways away lies a large table carved from a single piece of black wood. Thrones of the same black wood are arranged around it, with smaller, less ornately carved chairs flanking these thrones. Kabanha takes its place in a throne carved with the faces of wild cats and stylized blood and shoots of bamboo. It motions for Orkanith to take his place in one of its satellite chairs.

"It is traditional", Kabanha says, "For pupils to sit at the feet of their teachers."

Other inky portals wink open and shut around the garden, depositing other figures:

-A hunched man dressed in sackcloth, missing two fingers on his left hand, his right eye, and with scarification covering most of his visible body. He is carrying a staff topped with a black-iron lamp, within which the Black Flame rests. He croons to it inaudibly as he hobbles to another throne, scarcely paying Kabanha any mind. His only pupil is a gray-skinned humanoid with a smaller hand-held lamp, with a flicking spark of fire within.

-A deva woman dressed in the green-and-white robes of a Archipelago Bureaucrat. She smiles coyly at Kabanha and waits for her pupils, a whole team of harried-looking clerks, to pull her throne out for her. Then, in turn, the most senior of her pupils waits for their subordinates to pull out *their* chairs for them, down the line until the last one has to seat herself.

-Three dozen figures with faces of melted wax materialize simultaneously. Their long robes are embroidered with calligraphy declaring their magical deeds. The one robed with "I Am The Hidden Death" takes the throne, but the rest stand behind him, chorus-like, still as statues. There are no pupils.

-Talitha appears, shoots a reproachful glance at Kabanha, and takes her seat in one of the chairs next to the largest and most impressive throne, which remains empty.

-A fat woman festooned with rich jewelery appears, reclined upon a floating cushion that settles into her chair with her on it. A bunch of grapes appear with a snap of her fingers above her, and invisible servants pluck them, one by one, before dropping them into her mouth.

-An obsidian coffin, with the lid ajar juuust wide enough to show a set of waterlogged fingers clutching the side of the coffin, burst abscesses dripping trails of ichor down the smooth black sides of the coffin. The coffin is attended by a cadre of similarly waterlogged corpses that haul it next to the table.

More are arriving.

Kabanha grins down at you. "It is traditional for the pupils to mingle while their teachers arrive. Go forth. You will know when we are ready to begin."

Surprise Unbroken Circle Social! Who ya gonna talk to, Orky?

Orkanith will go talk to Talitha as he already knows her. “Hey what happened to you after the trial and the fight with that Rakshasa?”

Talitha shrugs.

"That cat bastard was done with me, and he got the drop on me with that portal back to... my home," she says. "I'd imagine he had plenty of pontificating to do at you after that test. Am I right?"

As the two of you chat, the gray-skinned pupil carrying the lamp sidles on up to you, bobbing his head nervously.

"M-miss Talitha, w-would your master be joining us today?" he asks nervously.

"Yes." Talitha says flatly. "On his own time. Orkanith, this is Lamman, servant of the Keeper of the Black Flame. Lamman, this is Orkanith, Kabanha's latest plaything. Orkanith is from Beyond the Portal." she says significantly.

And with that, she skips off to talk to one of the wax-faced men.

Orkanith, you're standing by a nervous looking gray-skinned figure, clad in rags and holding a flicker of Black Fire in a black handlamp. Talitha has abandoned you for other company! What's the plan?

"Lamman right? As Talitha stated I am Orkanith, I am pleased to make your acquaintance. So what is the Black Flame? Also what is the keeps job?"

"N-Nice to meet you, Orkanith." Lamman stammers nervously. He gestures to the lantern. "Th-this? The Black Flame is... well, I-i'm still learning about it. I-it's an entity... or at least a concept. I-it grants Power, b-but only in exchange for sacrifice. My ma-master and... I have Pacted ourselves t-to it, a-and brought it to benefit the entire Circle. I-it's how you arrived here in P-p-p-Paradise."

"....I see, so i take it you and your master are the sacrifice for the Circles use of it then? How does one call on the Black Flame for anything.?

Lamman chokes out a nervous laugh.

"N-No, no, n-no. O-our sacrifices a-are our own. My Master and I have ch-chosen to associate with the Circle, but they access the Black Flame a-at our pleasure. I-it's Power is his, a-and mine, a-and o-only through us does it serve the Circle. When my Master has deemed you trustworthy enough, y-you will be asked to Sacrifice to call upon the Black Flame. O-of course..." Lamman suddenly looks sly, "M-my Master might be willing to accept you, i-if it meant pulling an apprentice out from K-Kabanha."

"Sounds like that could be....entertaining however, let us get through today's events first and the whole reason I have called The Circle together today. Besides I still have a need for my Master unless yours can strengthen my crystalized soul to help me grow in power. We will keep in touch and if your master can help me better than Kabanha then we will see that happens. I do however need to go talk to my master about the matters at hand today." Orkanith bows "It was a pleasure meeting you Lamman." He walks back over to Kabanha and leans back against the table facing Kabanha "So how will this all play out today Master? Will I go before the other Masters and share my news then amongst you all a decision on what needs to be done will be made?"

Lamman waves weakly as Orkanith retreats back to his master.

Kabanha is currently leaned over the waterlogged obsidian casket, dessicated tail twitching at any bloated zombies that lurch to close to him. A thin, soppy voice wheedles out of the coffin up to the Rakshasa, but Orkanith can't make it out. Kabanha spots Orkanith approaching and intercepts him, wiping his paw off on his robes with a distasteful look back at the coffin.

"Horrible creature. Don't know why we even admitted her. Ah, Pupil. We should be starting any minute now, and when it is my turn to share my news with the circle, I shall call upon you to relate this offworld threat and what it represents.

The air ripples with heat and the assembled liches and spellcasters freeze.

"There's our cue." Kabanha says. "Take your seat, pupil."

The Unbroken Circle quickly find their places at the table. The birdsong of the paradisaical garden stops. Talitha is the last to take her seat at the head of the table, next to the largest and most impressive throne. A spot of orange-yellow light appears in the throne, a point of brilliance that appears as suddenly as if a light had been turned on.

Then it expands, unfolding in all directions with a rush of hellish heat and energy, a mandala of essence expanding and unwrapping until the garden itself is gone, replaced by a sea of churning, boiling yellow and orange fire, the table and the members of the Unbroken Circle floating in it's midst, untouched. The heat and crackling pressure are nearly unbearable, even to Orkanith, like being struck by one billion diffuse bolts of lightning across his entire body and soul. In the sea, like a magic-eye picture, Orkanith can occasionally see the outline of a titanic skeleton.

A huge, seething voice rings through the minds of those present.

WE ARE CONVENED. SPEAK, MEMBERS OF THE UNBROKEN CIRCLE. HOW PROGRESSES OUR WORK? WHAT HINDERS OUR AIMS?

One by one, the Masters of the Circle stand (or at least take prominence), and speak.

-The Servant of the Black Flame explains the sacrifices he and Lamman have made, and of their efforts to find the Crypt of the Fire King, in order to house the Black Flame in a new, suitably profane, capitol.

-The Deva woman, introducing herself as Siddhi Sirasikar, explains that efforts to control the course of discourse within the Archipelago League continue according to plan, and that the peace with the Continent is safe for now, but that, as always, she's *terribly* busy hunting down troublemakers.

-The Spellcoat College speaks as one, with a melted voice, of their esoteric research into undeath and the other deeds they have stitched into their robes.

-The fat woman festooned with jewelry has been observing an old friend, that Efreet who got into all that trouble with the immolation cult and got picked up by the Chuch. He's gone through some interesting changes soon, and may be approaching what she calls "ripeness" for "harvesting".

-The coffin is shoved upright and inside, Auntie Greenteeth wheedles that she has found a few *wonderful* potential candidates for her new coven, and all it's going to take is some *convincing* to bring them around.

-A man in a threadbare sarong, looking nearly as dessicated as Kabanha explains that the Eldest Fear, the Old King, has been improving. This announcement seems to improve the general mood at the table, and even the sea of violence surrounding the Circle calms somewhat.

Finally, it is Kabanha's turn.

"Fellow Masters, my newest pupil is an Outlander from beyond Indrasena, from Nexus. And what he has told is troubling. Please, "Radiant" Orkanith Morthos, explain what you feel the Circle needs to know."

All eyes and presences are pointed at Orkanith.

"I had ventured here to Indrasena to help the cartographers league chart the new hope islands with a companion of mine. When i joined up with Kabanha here and he informed me that they had killed Pithma his other pupil. It dawned on me that they are going to report the existence of the unbroken circle to the proper authorities and quite possibly an enemy of the circle, they will also probably call on some off world aid to help them seek and hunt us down to eradicate us. Believe me when I say that we do not want those individuals from Nexus poking around our affairs."

Orkanith feels the pressure of the attention of the Circle weighing on him.

"We have survived scouring by the Church," says the bejeweled woman, "what have we to fear from outworld freaks? If they're like you, dear, no offense, then I don't think we have to worry much at all!"

She titters to herself at that. The obsidian coffin twitches, and it's resident's wet voice seeps out. "Beware overconfidence...~ This one has...mutability...potential...a stamp upon its essence that marks it as...a powerful possibility. Child, what have we deathless to fear from the denizens of this.... Nexus? Are they all as you are?"

"Some are as I yes, but there are more that would be way more powerful than I and should not be taken lightly. When word gets back to the church then the church may try to contact some help from those in Nexus that have the power to put the circle in a world of hurt."

The archipelago bureaucrat leans forward at the table, smiling sardonically.

"Morthos, was it? If this is true, and you'd have to be crazier than a bag of cats to lie to us, here, at the center of our power, you, of course, wouldn't mind at all if I just...pry a bit-?"

Before Orkanith can respond, her smile deepens cruelly, and his brain explodes. Or at least, that's what it feels like.

Orkanith is laid bare before Senior Secretarial Seneschal Siddhi Sirasikar, Secret Servant of the Unbroken Circle, who collates and sorts his thoughts and memories, broadcasting them across the table and the energy-nightmare beyond for the Circle to observe.

They see Levana and Xecranal, fighting in the arena together against a seemingly endless menagerie of foes.

Nothing impressive here, I'm afraid...let's see what else you can give me....

They see the Inn, home to the Arena Members, lounging across the many variant Bars within.

Some of these arena members are quite strong indeed.

Ah, not all bluster after all. Some of these might be irritating, should they find us...

They see, through Orkanith's memory of the Quest Broadcast, some of the exploits of these Arena Members.

Some of these exploits, and their exploiters, are quite impressive, indeed.

They see mutable titans, all tentacles, alien majesty, and jocular masculinity, bearing an impossible array of blades.
They see cackling villains, casting opponents into strange, bastardizing fires that sap their strength and destroy them.
They see singular figures, angry beyond life, beyond death, shrieking for vengeance across space-time as they leap after their foes.
They see spirits of light and storm, arms raised to the sky, which answers their call with meteoric cataclysm.
They see entire nations working together, organizing vast arrays of spellwork into works of staggering scale and power.

They see these, and others, as Secretary Siddhi continues to search, her smile fading into a grim line as she roots mercilessly through Orkanith's psyche, until, seemingly satisfied, she ceases her search with a snap of her fingers.

The table is quiet. Kabanha nods to Siddhi. "Are you now satisfied as to the threat these offworlders present?" they say.

Siddhi grimaces. "Yes. I am."

Kabanha motions to the rest of the Circle. "Are you ALL satisfied? Or shall we continue to torment my apprentice and question my judgement in calling this council?"

The rest of the Circle, haltingly, one by one, give their assent.

Father, all around everyone and everything, terrible in scope, rumbles.

THE THREAT OF THESE OUTLANDERS CANNOT BE IGNORED. THEY, LIKE US, HAVE SURPASSED THE ELDEST FEAR. WE MUST HASTEN THE COMPLETION OF OUR PLANS BEFORE THEIR INTERFERENCE MARS ALL. GO, CIRCLE, AND COMPLETE YOUR TASKS. PREPARE YOURSELVES FOR THESE OUTLAND ALIENS. DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE THEM. IF THEY INTERFERE WITH ANY OF YOU, REACH OUT TO ME AND I WILL BE THERE.

The members of the Unbroken Circle pay respect, by gesture, bow, or curtsy, as the energy presence recedes, and the idyllic orchard reappears. The sea of heat, fire, and pressure shrinks to a single point in the largest chair before winking out of existence. Orkanith can breath for the first time in what feels like days.

There's a moment of calm as the Circle speak to their neighbors. Anything Orkanith want to add/bring up/put forward/ask?

"You all are a form of undead beings weak to light from my understanding, In time I may be able to help inoculate you all against light based attacks, this is all the information that I come bearing to you all today."

Orkanith bows

Kabanha's eyes narrow in thought, and it glances across the table at the candlewax faces of the Spellcoat College.

"Yes. Such a weakness comes part and parcel with the forces we have embraced. But I think you're right. You may indeed be able to inoculate us. Spellcoats, your attention, if you please."

The three dozen bodies of the Spellcoat College filter across the table to Orkanith and Kabanha. Their eyes, melted open, shut, and inbetween with ropes of waxy, bloodless flesh, study the fallen angel. 'I Am The Hidden Death' speaks.

"It Bears A Power, Yes. A Lineage That Bears Promise, An Ascendant Ability. A Deed."

All three dozen robed figures bow slightly to Orkanith.

"We Would Record This Deed Upon Our Spellcoats. Gird Ourselves In It's Word. And Share This Gift, If Successful. Your Cooperation Would Be Highly Useful, But Is By No Means Necessary."

Orkanith angles himself so that he bows to the entire circle. "I shall do all I can to further the progress of The Circle. This is all that I wished to convey to you all. Before I take my place back with my master these as well may be of some assistance." Orkanith puts some of his ability tomes out on the table and takes his seat by Kabanha.

"Elementary Works, But Useful For Shoring Up Weaknesses", the Spellcoats murmur, thumbing through the works and passing them between their constituent bodies. Some of the books flare up and vanish, used by the College.

Talitha, Lamman, and a few of the bureaucrat's apprentices take the books too, learning from the grimoires.

Orkanith loses:

The grimoires consumed, 'I Am The Hidden Death' returns its attention to Orkanith.

"I Will Proceed To Investigate Your Pattern, Then Seek To Isolate This Deed In Order To Attempt To Stitch It Into A Coat," it says. "Mentor Kabanha, You May Wish To Prepare Your Pupil. The Survival Rate Of Mana-Pattern Vivisection Is Lacking. While Apprentice Morthos Will Certainly, Thanks To His Unique Cosmic Position, Endure, It May Remove Him From Our Grasp Momentarily."

Kabanha grumbles but nods, piercing a finger with a tiger-claw on the opposite hand and squeezing out a single coin-sized drop of thick, black blood onto the table before passing his hand over it. It congeals into a coin bearing the rakshasha's face in profile.

"Hold this, pupil, and if this goes poorly, when you return through this Nexus Portal you shall be brought to my side. None of that nonsense with the portal hall and that odious city."

Orkanith gains:

छKabanha's Indrasena Portal Token- (Quest Item, Blood & Darkness, X Gold) Has RP effects. Has No Effect Outside of Indrasena-un-Sesamsara.

Then, the Spellcoat College surrounds him, right hands raised in mystic gestures, their eponymous Coats shimmering with energy, the stitched writing writhing across the fabric like so many calligraphic snakes.

Orkanith is scanned. His mana pattern is cataloged for the second time. The College is more precise and less brutal than Siddhi had been, but their attention feels cold, without an iota of real connection or emotion.

He feels his connection to the skillset of the Ascendant Traitor Argantannion swell, feverish as three dozen invisible mystic implements surround it and tease at it. A new coat is spun there, in the space between the Black Flame and the World, in this Paradise, gold, shining, radiant thread spelling, painfully slowly, across it, over and over and over again,

"I Am The Just Blade"

"I Am The Just Blade"

"I Am The Just Blade"

"I Am The Just Blade"

With each repetition, Orkanith feels his essence tugged painfully in all directions as they stitch the ability out of him and into the Circle. The pain mounts as he is vivisected, and his consciousness begins to fade. The last thing he sees is the faces of the Spellcoats, ghastly pale, staring down at him and the new Spellcoat in their possession.

---------------

Orkanith wakes up back in Nexus! He's pretty sure his token will allow him to regain Kabanha's company without difficulty, however.

(This is partially to allow for a chance to update stats, as this quest has been going on for a whiiiii-ile, and this gives me a chance to align all the thread timelines a bit more.)

Post Orkanith's updated stats in the new thread here (viewtopic.php?f=38&t=9424) to keep streams of rewards separate and trackable.
