Just means you'll have an unending stream of 1's later. ;D

The arcane bolt tears through the mists and silently dispatches the undead. The fog quickly dissipates, as though the undead had never brought its taint to the cathedral. Almost as a grim reminder of the events that had occurred here blood continues to stream down from the organ, pooling around the base.

The young girl in white lets out a small sigh of relief seeing the mists disappear, contrasted by the tears forming in her eyes. She looks toward her two saviors with a faint warmness, her eyes seeming to long for answers.

Thanks.

Torrim steps forward and says quietly, "Your destiny still needs you, miss. Let's ring the oathbells.

"By the by, what may I call you?"

[Necro_EX]

"M-my name's...Belle" the young girl barely manages to squeak out, seemingly still in a bit of shock. She looks back up to Torrim "I...I think I can do it, but I'll need someone else to help me. It's a big organ, sir." she says, her eyes still wet with tears and glistening in the early morning light.

Approaching the massive organ, she gulps and swallows down her fears, staring up at the massive instrument before her. Looking around the little girl squeaks "Um...could you...maybe help me up?"

[SamBurke]

Torrim grins. "That's the spirit. No need to be afraid. We've got your back, Belle." He hoists the girl up onto the organ, and climbs alongside her. "I'm afraid I don't quite know how to work this. Could you give me a few pointers?"

I'm actually looking to see if the others are here by now.

They should be there pretty soon. I think it was 1 round left, so six seconds, which would have passed in the time it took Belle to get where she is.

Hah, so I look out the door and see them right infront of me. :)

Oh hi there!

Theodric runs up to the temple entrance. "Is this it? It's bigger than the rest of the buildings." As he finishes that sentence, he finds Gartrand just outside the front door. Unfortunately, due to Theodric's low ability to remember things and the fact he'd been separated from the rogue and wizard for more than a few minutes (after not having been around them all that long to begin with), he fails to remember the faces of the teammates he was supposed to meet up with. "Hey, mister, is the building you just came out of a temple? We're looking for one."

God, it's so fun writing Theo as a complete dunce. ^_^

AMDAL

The short-legged halfling catches up to Theodric and waves to Gartrand. "We did it! The undead theat is averted, and Yargos has his book. I guess you were successful here as well, since you're stepping out for air?"

[aturtledoesbite]

Theodric notices Amdal's reaction to the man in front of him, and is momentarily confused. Wait a second...this guy looks familiar. Hmm... Oh! He was the guy who went to the temple and was with us before. What was his name...oh right, it was Gartrand. (Hey, my thoughts echo a lot in here. Echo!...echo!...echo...) Theodric's face is clearly vacant as he's thinking this last part. "Oh, right, you were with us. Where's that other guy that was with you?"

Oh Lawd. Let's all be glad that Theodric's not playing that organ...

[xela248]

Dastria runs up to the gang, fiddling with her holy symbol as she runs.
She nods her head in greeting to Gartrand and questions,
"Are you hurt? What about Torrim? Were you successful?"

Heh, he'd probably invent breakcore without realizing it if he did.

I must ask: What's breakcore? If Theo would be able to invent it with his, er, "talents", then it must be quite...interesting.

Summon the undead and command them to DANCE!!!

[Ninjabob]

Oh! Hey! We're fine, but the monks aren't. We need to play the organ and we have a girl that knows how to, but she needs help and I'm afraid we aren't talented in that area, can you guys help? Come on, this way.
He motions them to follow him and leads them to the organ.

[xela248]

Dastria strides in, following Gartrand to the organ and the girl.
"Hello?" she calls out to the room "Is there life?" Catching the organ in her line of vision, she runs towards it.
"This piece? This is what we need?"

[aturtledoesbite]

Theodric walks in, but stops when he sees the organ. "Wow, that's a big...er, whatever that is."

That's breakcore. Of course, it would be pretty hard for Theo to pull off without a drum machine and a synth, but I could still see it happening. The wooden body of the organ would be the drums, of course.

The young girl looks down to Dastria, her eyes still swollen and slightly reddened from her tears. Her mouth quivers like she desired to say something, but fails to do so.

[SamBurke]

Does she answer Torrim's question?

[Necro_EX]

Belle looks up toward Torrim, wiping the tears from her eyes. "Um...yes, I uh...I believe I can mister... her voice trailing off toward the end of her sentence. She shows the drow how the organ works and attempts to show him the dance needed to play the Oathday hymns.

Perform: Dance (1d20+4)[23]

[SamBurke]

Oh my. Could I just make an aid another check?

[Necro_EX]

I suppose I'll allow perform: dance to be used untrained for the sake of this, and since I don't think anyone has it. Apply a -2 penalty, roll it up as an assist other if you wish. Same goes for anyone else intending to climb up there to dance on a bloody organ.

I'm sorry, but I'm lost: Why the Hell does playing a song require us to dance, exactly?

[Necro_EX]

Spoiler

See how massive that organ is?
No way anyone's playing it by hand.
The dance is designed to have the footfalls land on the keys to play the song.
Which is something I would absolutely love to see done irl.

Read that, now read it using..."other" definitions for "organ" and "instrument". God, it's so much fun to find hidden perverted meaning in everything Necco says. I guess he's been reading a little too much of the BoEF. :D

EDIT: Never mind, it just turns out that Necco's patron deity is Calistria.

AMDAL

Amdal chuckles to himself as the party watches the young girl's intricate dance. "I'm beginning to wish we had a bard. Would any of you longer legged folk like to dance the keys with her?"

Dastria! here's your chance to show off your dance skills! She has one rank in dance, right?

@Turt, you're giving me an idea for my next character. Creepy old guy monk, who makes crude jokes and hits on young women

So Arkive, your average pedo? That ought to be interesting to put in a Pathfinder environment, especially considering you can't have any evil-aligned characters. I'd laugh if he got stuck with Dastria for more than a couple seconds, though. >_>

Theodric decides to watch Belle's dance to attempt to learn it, simply because he doesn't know what else to do. As most would expect, he ends up tripping on his own feet and crashes to the ground with a thud, his armor not helping matters much.

Nothing keeping ya from being evil. Of course, for the sake of party conflict not leading to party in-fighting it's usually best to avoid.

Can't remember the last time I played a perverted character...
