This post has the following content warnings:
He should have fallen on his sword. That would have been the sensible thing to do.
Punched his ticket for Elysium right away, no waiting around.
He thought they'd only kill him.
Why did he think that? How stupid was he? Why in the world did he think that?
And now instead of his next great adventure he's flubbed a save against dominate person.
You grapple him, I'll go for the gun!
What's a 25 against your CMD while grappled?
"Sufficient."
Jesus.
You can have my gun, just keep your finger off that trigger.
The bullets he loads into it cost a buck twenty per, plus crafting time.
So, Altronus. It's your turn. Any sharp objects that you care to stab me with?
:Facepalm:
We are the worst bodyguards ever.
I cast detect magic and check her for enchantments.
Lyvina, I'm seeing a divination aura. Spellcraft it for me?
I'll save her the cantrip. That divination is the spell detect thoughts, which I cast because you four were acting so godsdamn weird.
You could have warned us, first.
If I'd known you were going to flip out about it like this, believe me I would have!
By the way, Ileosa's Charisma is at least +3 and at most +6, unless she has Spell Focus Divination or something.
So you're reading my mind.
What's that like?
It's like - tilting, falling, face-first into something vast and fast-moving and incredibly complicated,
tilting and falling into a thousand years of missing context compressed like the iron crystal core of a planet and
forced through the view-port of her skull, her brain torn, distended,
like falling face-first into something big and fast-moving and incredibly complicated, and it's made of knives, optimized to hurt,
surging forward to meet you, presenting all its edged surfaces one after another in rapid succession, that competitive and predatory mind bouncing and rebounding from thought to related thought,
looking for a safe surface, a flat surface?, no, looking for one that's sharp enough to kill her and the only mercy is that Altronus gets no feedback from her and he doesn't know what worked, how much it worked, so he moves on to present other weapons for her consideration one after another after another and she keeps her expression neutral.
Altronus does this out of malice but not of hatred, out of ambient malice, background malice, out of reflex, Altronus has the reflex when his mind is read to destroy the interloper, to destroy them out of curiosity.
To destroy them if he can, to see if he can.
