"FIVE" In Character [PF]

[sournote103]

Rerim approached the creature, attempting to bring it down, though he was loath to kill it. He attempted to make a superficial attack that might help pacify it, though was not likely to kill it. He then motioned for his lion companion to do similarly.

Hearing the commotion, Soloman drags his nose out of the book he is reading and heads over.

Seeing the Mammoth he stops and concentrates on it, a focused look in his strangely shining eyes. An odd deep sound, like hundreds of voices chanting together builds suddenly from nothing around the mammoth.

Soloman casts Ego whip on the mammoth. DC is 16.

[SamBurke]

The mammoth shudders under the volley of magical attacks, but twists again, lazily trying to stand. Alon's attempt at friendship fails, as the beast already sees the group's true intentions, and it tries to slap out a thick trunk at him, but slips again.

In another moment, though, it stands up shakily, steps with one foot, and pulls itself from the mire, slamming down on the eidolon with full strength, and lashing out against Rerim as well.

Okay, I don't know where the mammoth is on the map, so I don't know if I can get an attack in, so I'll roll up contingencies.

Melanie dashes behind the mammoth, carefully avoiding its massive trunk, setting herself up for the kill. The beast seems to consider Alon for a moment, unsure of what the mortal is saying, but pausing from its rampage.

The giant mammoth continues its puzzled pause, tilting the enormous head to one side in befuddlement for a moment, before proceeding to spin around, staring at Alon the entire time.

Spoiler

It's technically not an action to change direction without moving, so it's just turning in place.

Also, you can re-roll that opposed check if you want, it was out of turn last time, so you get a second chance.

After turning around in a complete circle, the mammoth is back where it started, and evidently uninterested in Alon anymore; having forgotten him in the time it took to spin around.

Spoiler

A failed Charisma check, unfortunately, but, it did turn around for you!

Gathering his mental focus, Soloman glares again at the mammoth and again the strange noise emanates from it's location.

Soloman's eyes suddenly snap close and the noise disipates as he visibly relaxes.

The whispering voices around the mammoth confuse it for a moment, and it seems to freeze. After a moment, its body shudders, and it seems ready to collapse. But, instead, it stares off distantly, and, in a sudden action, its eyes focus and narrow on the village a half mile behind you.

Nature:

Spoiler

Show

The creature before you is a Mammoth, an even larger relative of the elephant, with shaggy, thickly-matted hair covering its body and protecting it. The main danger lies in its incredible size and strength, allowing it to slam its ten foot tusks into attackers, or merely trample them into the dust with its feet.

Religion:

Spoiler

Show

The mammoth before you seems to be afflicted with some sort of dread disease, and, is quite possibly undead of some sort. Its fur is greying and falling out, and the movements are clumsy and seemingly uncoordinated.

Sarah
Oh my god... Words would not be able to do justice in describing what was going through her head. Instictively she wanted to run for it, but if she did she knew many people could die, likely those who had just joined the fight. However Egee seemed to lack any sign of wanting to back off. It was really that bit which kept her in on the fight. She wasn't going to give up while Egee as still going toe-to-toe with it. As usual, he can't stand things which think they are bigger or stronger... even if they are. After conjuring a small ball of acid she launched it at the creature and proceeded to back up a bit, just to be on the safe side.

Instead of continuing to concentrate on the mammoth, Soloman instead seems to be moving his hands through the air in a manner that suggests a sculptor at work.

When his hands stop moving, an man shaped white object shimmers into existance next to the mammoth. The object is somewhat blocky in appearance, but has a clearly identifiable head and limbs. It strikes out at the mammoth immediately.

Alon pulls out his crossbow, taking a bolt from the strap on his leg and sliding it into place as he pulls back the string. He aims the crossbow and fires it at the mammoth.

attack - (1d20+3)[16]
damage - (1d8)[6]

The mammoth's puzzlement breaks instantly as a massive being ruptures into view along side him, and slams into his side. A crossbow bolt from the dancing man plunks into his tough fur, just barely missing breaking his skin.

Aton runs to towards the mammoth, pulling a small bag and a candle from his component pouch. "Galw eryr!" he yells, making a pointing gesture with his hand. A shining eagle farms where his finger indicates.

The eagle flies towards the mammoth, and if it reaches it, attempts to sink it's talons into it.

Rerim and his lion continue to carefully attack the beast, but its dense hide seems impervious to their strikes, and every caring attack gets lost in the thick hair.

Sarah's strike ripples from another plane, but something seems off. The acid tears into the beast far better than before, penetrating its thick hide with ease, even if the tiny orb doesn't do an enormous amount of damage.

From another plane, a bright nimbus of light forms, flashing over the entire field for a moment, and then disappating to a glowing eagle. After a moment's pause to consider the five, the bird streaks towards the mammoth, attempting to sink its jaw into the beast, but failing to cut through the long, shaggy hair that so impeded everyone.

The acid ripples out of a new plane, one almost never tapped for conjuration. Why?

Tapping the plane has a massive chance of opening and exposing everyone to the complete energy and destruction. Also involved is a likely side chance of being sucked through a sporadic vortex, simultaneously tearing the fabric of reality and destroying the very essence of your existence. No mage, I repeat, NO MAGE does so on purpose. The very essence of the plane itself is deadly to magic of all sorts, tied so intricately to the Weave of magic, not as a support, but as a ticking bomb, waiting to destroy it.

The plane is feared to the point of not being mentioned. Anyone brought through a portal is instantly stranded in an infinite cube of acid and lava, combined with exploded anti-magic fields dotting the landscape, each of which may drain the very life-strength of a mortal, far beyond what they have, even. It is said that those who "reside" there are in a constant state of death, enduring tortorous pain eternally.

It is the Plane of Damnation.

It is the final resting place of evil.

It is the final creation of God.

---

Roll me a Sense Motive.

Other IC note, which didn't come prepared: Someone else "patched" your spells together, meaning they re-connected your conjuration's plane choice. So, instead of the Plane of Acid, you got the Plane of Damnation.
