++New charachter, remember? But if you just want to finish this one........or are you saying i can't start a new one?++

Lazerus casts Portal, throwing open a portal to the celestial plane (pick a random LG plane). And tries to leap throught it.

Jax looks around the city, nothing anything unusial.

The guards stagger back as light blasts through the portal, and you make your way safetly through it. As you step through, you hear a deep thrum, and you are violently forced forward. -WHO ENTERS MY REALM- says an immense voice in your head.

"I am Lazerus, master of the arcane. A thousand pardons, great celestial, but I fled here seeking safety from the forces of evil."

You are brought to your feet by an intangible force, and now stare into the gleaming eyes of a solar. His angelic wings beat silently, and he towers above you, mighty sword drawn and readied. -WELCOME TO THE HOUSE OF THE TRIAD, TRAVELER. ELABORATE YOUR CIRCUMSTANCES-

"Me and my followers were attempting to free slaves from unjust cruelty, being forced for fight for others enjoyment. We managed to free them, but the citys rulers, the wizards and vampires followed us and the next day........"

It suddenly hit Laz that all his followers were dead or being tortured.

"and........" *Laz trails off*

".......I was the only one who got away."

The solar bows his head. -A NOBLE PURSUIT, LAZERUS OF TORIL. A SHAME YOUR FOLLOWERS WERE SLAIN, BUT I CAN DO NOTHING. YOU CANNOT STAY HERE, BUT I CAN OPEN A PORTAL BACK TO TORIL, IN ANY LOCATION YOU WISH-

"Yo...you are most generel Solar. It would be best if you could release me a few miles outside the city of Westgate from wence I came."

Caoimhin sighed and shook his head. "That one has little sense of her situation...and little sense indeed for a mage. I'd be thinking though, that the threat of the mages guild's wrath is hardly an idle one. Even if they all be as illwitted as this one, there's likely a few more of them about....and a griffon might well have caused comment. Do you not think, we might be doing best to get ourselves someplace quiet..." he glanced at the others in the room, that had arrived since thier own entrance, "...where we'd be less likely to have all the locals of the realms wandering by for a look see."

-VERY WELL, LAZERUS OF TORIL. FAREWELL AND GOOD LUCK ON YOUR JOURNEY- Suddenly, a portal blazes open in front of you, shimmering with light. -GOODBYE- says the solar, and shoves you through

++Assuming I land a few miles outside the city++

They will all die SLOWLY and PAINFULLY.

I shift back to full-human form, dispel the enlarge, and cast "Alter Self" so that I don't appear suspicious. I then walk back into the city. Do I encounter any trouble getting inside?

Captain tycho · Post by **Captain tycho** » 2004-03-09 11:33am

A dozen burly ogres carrying greatswords are standing outside the city gates, turning back anyone who tries to get in. A pair of robed wizards stand above the gate on a walkway, wands in their hands.

lazerus · Post by **lazerus** » 2004-03-09 11:46am

I turn around without looking overly suspicious, and move back a few miles outside the city.

Once i'm safely away, I cast Lemonds Tiny Hut and move in.

I think start researching the spell we discussed over MSN (7 days to prepare, 1200gp cost)

"It is, indded, a bit crowded in here. But is there another place we could go to, that won't be conspicious? I'm new to this town, so I wouldn't know... Though I doubt they'll be looking for me, I guess they are a bit, say, trigger-happy."

"Oh, won't I? You forget, your life is in our hands. It would be just to try you for your crimes now, and the penalty for some of the charges brought against you is death. Do not make the mistake of thinking that the penalties will not be carried out.

"You seem to think that our death is nigh. Do you even realize where you are? I seriously doubt that the guild even knows where you are, and even if they did they'd have themselves a time trying to get you out. Especially given your current uselessness." Gaheris idly played with the pommel of his sword, watching her with a disinterested expression.

++Erm, Tycho? What'd she do, roll a 20? Or is she just not going to talk no matter what I do?++

+Let's just say she's more wise than you thought.

She grins. "The guild knows everything that goes on in Westgate, fool. Courtesy of the Night Masks.." she trails off...

"Now we're getting someplace....the Night Masks.....a whole other set o' problems there...."

++She sure isn't acting like it.++

"Really? You are aware that the Night Masks could not have infiltrated this place, correct?" Gaheris asked. [Despite the laughable ease with which some of us got in, the abbey is supposed to be impregnable.

] "How do you think they even know where you are? They can't scry in here. You have no means of sending a signal in or out..." A realization hit him, but he kept his face passive. "You're stuck here, and you're beginning to annoy me." He lifted his sword. "If you do not tell us what we wish to know, I shall have to do something with this blade that I will regret later. Any guesses as to what that might be?" He shot her a pointed glance.

"Very well. It seems useless to hold up my guise any longer." She uncrosses her arms and sighs. "Listen, bub, if the mage guild gets me they'll execute me. I was trying to get YOU to kill me first, as I know certainly these wishy-washy clerics won't torture me for a thousand years and then lock my soul in a jar, then smash it. So, do kindly kill me now."
She holds her head forward, exposing her throat. "Do it now, before they get to me."

"That's one of the craziest things I heard a prisoner say in a long time... Why would they be killing you, praytell?"

Captain tycho · Post by **Captain tycho** » 2004-03-09 02:27pm

"Because I was caught. They'll kill me just for being caught. These wizards are so damned paradnoid, they believe that anyone who let's themself get caught is a traitor. Now finish me off!"

"We will do no such thing. GUARDS!" Four guards came rushing up seconds later, throwing nervous glances at the pair of beasts in the courtyard. Bronze or not, paladin's mount or not, a dragon and a griffon will make anyone uneasy if unused to them. "Get someone with a key to the undercroft. Put here there under guard and make certain that no one gets in to her without the passcodes. Not even if they look just like myself or even Abbot Khazar, no one without the recognition signs. Is that understood?"
