Serena

Serena:

The Inquisitor does as Dame Sharl requests, rising the Blackhawk higher up so it won't be spotted.

“I have no idea what a Dispel Magic would do against a Spell Engine,” Argent adds. “I do know that you have to specifically target a magic item to have it be affected by Dispel Magic. And ...

Serena

Serena:

Serena listens closely as the Duchess' gathering continues. Her Grace does what she can to comfort Ivy of Azrella. It seems that Ivy had a very close relationship with this Mother Boelle. While Serena doesn't know a lot about the workings of the Azrellian faith, she does know that they ...

Serena

Serena:

Validar thinks about the ominous sounding name, but cannot seem to place it. "Perhaps you'd care to enlighten me a bit more, Serena?"

“Modern historians believe that the City of Oos, along the southern edge of Vassa, was the base of operations for the Lich Lords. A group of five ...

Serena

Serena

“I have not, Perhaps she went into town for provisions?” he guesses.

“Perhaps,” Serena easily agrees.

The Inquisitor is more content to observe the goings on at the Sallavarian Estate. Much to her surprise, Serena is finding Cynalon to be a more and more charming place than she first ...

Serena

Serena:

Serena wakes the morning after the mission to liberate Castle Elcadan and does her prayers and meditations to regain spells before eating. She does not involve herself in the goings on of the day, but it seems that even more troubles have developed. A civil war has erupted. The priestess ...

Serena

Serena:

Serena adds a Magic Missile to the battle, but it is weapons that down the dragon not magic. Looking around the chamber, Serena can’t help but notice the giant and familiar looking egg.

Looking around, Sir Corley adds, “Any have any idea what that egg is? Is it a dragon egg? Also we ...

Serena

Serena:

Serena remains behind he front line, ready to cast spells or offer healing magic, but it really isn’t needed. The call goes out that we face a dragon as well and it is about to breath! Since Serena wasn’t that far into the chamber, exiting it again is not a problem.

Sir Corley states a ...

Serena

Serena:

Serena hears the Fireball go off in the distance. It appears that the time for subtly has reached its end. Serena will let the front line fighters pass her as they move deeper into the crypt. She’ll remain behind the front line, ready to assist with her spells as needed.

Serena

Serena:

Serena uses her ability to Turn Undead, but it only forces some of the wraiths back. Perhaps Ivy, knowing how strong her order is in combating undead, will be more successful. But what transpires is even more astounding then Serena ever expected! A bright light fills the castle, destroy ...

Serena

Serena:

After stepping of the Blackhawk, Serena follows the others into the castle. It’s dark and to help light the way, Serena has the head of her Staff of Fire burst into flames, illuminating the area much like a torch.

Deeper inside the castle wraiths circle overhead. Serena will turn them ...

Serena

Serena:

Sir Corley considers for a few seconds. “You have a fair point, Lady Serena. No, I do not wish for the Blackhawk to fall back into enemy hands. Your suggestion of leaving it up in the air is a sound one. As long as we can return to it easily enough.”

“I’ll save a Fly spell just for ...

Serena

Serena:

Sir Corley thinks for a moment before answering. “Was it not said that the Duke has a private dock? That would be the best place to set the Blackhawk down. Unless someone has a better suggestion?”

“That sounds fine to me. It’ll be tricky at night, but I should manage all right. My only ...

Serena

Serena:

Serena will wish the riders well, saying a prayer to the Lady of Mysteries for their success. Then along with the Invoker Argent escorts the others to the Temple of Mystra.

“In a city of this size, it is not uncommon for a Mage Guild and Temple to be combined. After all, casting skill is ...

Serena

Serena:

Sir Corley explains that they plan on using the Blackhawk to bypass the castle’s walls so that the situation with the guards can be resolved.

“Seems reasonable to me,” Serena will agree. “I’ll be ready to pilot the Blackhawk on the mission. The only matter that needs to be resolved is ...

Serena

Serena:

"That opens up possibilities then," Sherra says with a smile. "I can already cast mage spells off of a scroll. I wonder how much more I might need to learn."

“I am really not sure,” Serena answers apologetically. “My own training took a different path than the one that you seek. I do ...

Serena

Serena:

While not a mage, Sherra sees if she can crash the party. She's interested in learning what she can about the Spell Engines. It will be useful information to have should she ever get a ship and Engine of her own as well as how to handle any enemies who might be similarly outfitted ...

Serena

Serena:

"I had not imagined it would be so simple. The trouble is that such a means is also able to be replicated by others. Is there a more secure way of securing a Spell Engine to a ship's hull?" Validar will ask.

“There is no reason for the Spell Engine to even be on the main deck out in ...

Serena

Serena:

“I am not entirely sure. I was never one for services with temple, but perhaps it is time for a change. I will see you at service. If you will excuse me, I must see to what may lie ahead.”

“That seems to be common among your order,” Serena notes. “Scouts of Mystra tend to be loners and ...

Serena

Serena:

“Thank you sister; I am Regnak of the Shooting Stars. A scout, if you will. But I am afraid I have been inadequate in my duties.” Spitting on the ground, he continues, “How is one supposed to scout and lead when they appear out of nowhere or ride the wind like an eagle? I lead these men ...

Serena

Serena:

Validar thinks on that for a moment. "Yes, it does appear to be the case." Based on what Serena has said, and she is not one to mince words, nor to waste them, he did die from the Deville hag's magick. However, his Ring of Regeneration must have been what defied true death. It was a ...

Serena

Serena:

"Well, a most welcome surprise," Sherra says smiling, "but I could have handled that buffoon."

“Of that, I have no doubt. But my magic will only hold him for a time. A more permanent solution will be required.”

While Serena is piloting the vessel, Sherra returns and reports that ...

Serena

Serena:

While Argent and Jallarzi fly off to intercept the distant spell caster, Serena moves closer to the Blackhawk. Clearly it’s under the power of a Spell Engine, a magic item that Serena is familiar with. The ship itself is nothing special. In fact it needs a good cleaning.

She sees someone ...

Serena

Serena:

Validar listens to this talk about the Tower of Magic and he is intrigued. "Where is this Tower of Magic to be? Do you know anything more about it? You speak of its return; is that a rebuild or a physical move of an existing structure?"

“More is known about the Tower of Magic ...

Serena

Serena:

Serena better explains the idea behind a Spell Engine. "I see," Validar says. "That is much clearer now. They are simply a different form of magic item. Just as a wand may seem to have powerful or mundane effects, a Spell Engine does the same. And yet their usefulness seems to make them ...

Serena

Serena:

“Much was lost in the Great War,” Lady Sallavarian states rhetorically. “The greatest loss was all the archmages of the kingdom. Those who knew the answers to these and other questions perished in the battle. The next generation of mages had no one to guide them. We’re still trying to ...

Serena

Serena:

Validar listens closely to the brief explanation and lets the ramifications of those words filter through his brain for several moments.

"So, these Spell Engines are similar to what we would call artifacts in a sense. And you say that they have a range of abilities from mundane to ...

Serena

Serena:

It has been decided that Serena travel with Jallarzi and Crysania to Elcadan. That matter decided, Serena decides to begin the task of screening everyone. She’ll start with everyone here at the meeting and then wander the hallways of the mansion.

Upon seeing the Songstress with the harp ...

Serena

Serena:

The men from High Guard have been shown the truth, ending the threat of any further spread of misinformation. Later, the group has a meeting with the Duke to discuss plans.

"It would allow us to gain support on multiple levels, to possibly counter plans that they have in place and to ...

Serena

Serena:

Serena has just related the evil magic used to create the wands the drow attackers wielded.

His eyes narrow as he hears the story of how such things are created. Who indeed would make such a weapon binding souls to do their will? “Let us hope their souls will rest in peace,” he says ...

Serena

Serena:

"I'm not surprised; as one of the heads of the clan, I would expect her to be quite powerful. She mentioned that I couldn't have used the staff, so you may be right about it being specific to necromancers."
“That is possible,” Serena agrees. “Magic items of that ilk typically are only ...

Serena

Serena:

The undead horde begins to thin out considerably. Spotting Ivy and Crysania continuing on after them, Serena follows also, using her own ability to Turn Undead to destroy them. Once the battle is over, Serena will direct the Fire Elemental to turn any undead near it to ash until it ...

Serena

Serena:

After casting her Web, Serena notes that only a handful of the creatures remain on this flank. However, looking to the other flank, she sees one of the creatures rushing Lyonessa!

“Hold fast, Lyonessa! I’ll deal with this rabble.”

Serena will cast Magic Missile at the advancing undead ...

Serena

Serena:

Serena will cast Web down the alleyway that is clear of her Wall of Iron.

Serena

Serena:

Using the fires from a Fireball, Serena summons a Fire Elemental using her Staff of Fire. The vaguely humanoid pillar of fire burns its way through the hordes of undead. Then the source of the evil magic she sensed earlier reveals itself. Magical attacks are launched from the nearby ...

Serena

Serena:

Ignoring the approaching undead and the magical barriers erected to deter them, Serena concentrates on locating any source of evil magic in the nearby area. Looking away from the undead, she examines the nearby buildings and does manage to locate one!

“There!” Serena calls out, pointing ...

Serena

Serena:

The songstress counters the harpy song and the enchanted men are lead away. Riding on, we enter the town and seem to have found the missing inhabitants.

There is no sight of the harpy at the moment, just a rush of ugly, undead. Validar realizes that these are likely the townsfolk of ...

Serena

Serena:

Serena enjoys the ride from Pyris. The landscape is very beautiful and hasn’t been fully exploited like forests she’s seen back in Alphatia. There is a midday stop at a small village and then we’re off once more. A small town is reached next and we spend the night here. Jallarzi creates ...

Serena

Serena:

"Oh sure Serena, that would be fine," Lyonessa says. "I don't have any preferences, especially of late. All this adventuring I find myself praying alone as often as not."

“Such is often the case for those who wander doing the Lady's work,” Serena agrees. “I have known those who prefer ...

Serena

Serena:

There is little for Serena to do while visiting Pyris. The events taking place here have no great importance to her. Instead, she’ll go explore the city and see what it has to offer. If there is a Temple to Mystra, she’ll visit to pay her respects.

Serena will seek out the company of her ...

Serena

Serena:

"Well met, Serena of Mystra. I am Sherra," she responds. "Actually I tend to make my own luck," she says to the question. "Although I know well enough to pay my respects when I have an opportunity to do so."

“You are wise to do so,” Serena agrees. “My first impression was that you were ...

Serena

Serena:

"An inquisitor? Really?" Lyonessa asks, having never heard of such a force used by Mystra. "I am Lyonessa, a songstress of Mystra. I must say that an inquisitor sounds very intimidating."

“A pleasure to meet you, Songstress. I take it that you sing your magicks instead of casting them ...

Serena

Serena:

Serena is meditating at the Shrine to Mystra when Silvarn returns with the new arrivals. Rising, she goes to investigate. While it is clear that they are known to many of those already present, all are strangers to Serena’s eyes. A few mages do seem to be present, but there is one who is ...

Serena

Serena:

“Ah, that places it much further south, and closer to Athenos. I thought perhaps it was within Elcadan's territory, but it is not based on where you say."

“Is that a dangerous area,” Serena asks curiously.

"Indeed, you are correct. And yet I am aware of many of the faults of our ...

Serena

Serena:

"That would make it quite the find. I imagine there is much knowledge and many mysteries to be learned from such a place. How far to the south of Elcadan is it?"

"The Lady Sallavarian did state that it was to the south of Elcadan, in the swamp. I believe she said it was west of a ...

Serena

Serena:

"Ah, interesting," Validar states. "I apologize for the assumption and was not aware of a newly recovered temple in the area. However, it is what I would suspect very good news for your order. Certainly anything that pre-dates King Victor I would be a significant historical find at any ...

Serena

Serena:

"Greetings, Serena of Mystra," the Baron will say. "It is good to see you again this evening. Especially under much less pressing terms." Validar and Gabriella had just finished their evening meal together, when Serena arrived. "I would like to present to you the Lady Gabriella Allonica ...

Serena

Serena:

Later that evening, Serena has finished up her evening prayers and is heading to the dinning hall for a light meal when she encounters Baron Validar.

Baron Validar will inquire at some point as to Serena's current plans and also thank her for her involvement in the defeat of the ...

Serena

Serena:

“We have witnessed wonders this day,” Serena says in a whisper as she sees the Deva’s come forth from the fiery pit. The Inquisitor helps Lord Sharadin along and they soon rejoin the others. It seems that the battle has been won.

Serena eyes the handsome Deva as he speaks to many of the ...

Serena

Serena:

“Goddess no!” Serena cries out as things happen in rapid succession about her. First the large simple-minded warrior named Blod goes down as a Wall of Fire forms around him.

After removing her Fire Aura, Serena begins to move in his direction, but is distracted again as Gorso flies ...

Serena

Serena:

Much to her surprise, the number of human foes we are facing has evaporated. The Fire Aura covering her body is not longer helpful in the battle. In fact it is now a hindrance. Serena will dispel her magical aura of flames and then rush to assist the others. From a distance it appears ...
