Ivy

Ivy:

After the cremation, Ivy starts to walk back to town using her staff for support. The weather is sunny, but there is an unmistakable chill in the air on this late fall day. The Streel Road is reached and Ivy walks alongside of it towards Elcadan.

It's not long before the city comes into ...

Ivy

Ivy:

With Elspeth's help, Ivy cleans up as best she can. However, the redness around her eyes betrays her lack of restful sleep. Before long, the preparations for the funeral are underway and guests are starting to arrive. Ivy keeps watch near the main entrance, and finally she sees Sir Acerion ...

Ivy

Ivy:

In the Azrellan Temple, Ivy sleeps and holds Sephie close to her. She dreams or is it a forgotten memory?

It is daytime in the outdoors. Ivy seems to be lying on the ground, as above her is what she guesses to be a man in armor. He brandishes a sword pointed down at Ivy. He speaks. “Know ...

Ivy

Ivy:

"I would be nowhere else but where you need me for this," Acerion states. "I did not know if you desired company or solitude on such a day, so I had not committed to anything prior to learning your wishes."

“I will happily take your company,” Ivy notes. “Especially tomorrow. It's so hard ...

Ivy

Ivy:

Ivy and Acerion share a quiet meal at the Waterfall Inn.

Acerion holds back any comment he might have made in other company about the cost of things but is otherwise pleased that Ivy is allowing herself to enjoy the meal. When she mentions the trout, Acerion gestures towards the separate ...

Ivy

Ivy Continued:

A two person dining table sits inside the small, candlelit room. The waterfalls that the Inn takes its name from can be seen outside. Fresh bread is there and the smell just makes Ivy even more hungry.

“This is nice,” Ivy will say as she sets her holy mace down in the corner. “It ...

Ivy

Ivy:

Ivy is quiet and mostly daydreams as she rides along towards Elcadan in Jallarzi's carriage. The Duchess herself invited Ivy to ride with her into town along with Jallarzi and Gabriella. The others chat as they ride along, but Ivy really isn't listening to them talk. She's too lost in trying ...

Ivy

Ivy:

Ivy listens as the Duchess talks about what it takes to be a noble. In hindsight, much of what she says makes perfect sense. Given that she grew up here in Elcadan, Ivy was predisposed to dislike most nobles. The idea of her becoming a noble herself never did sit all that well. But the way ...

Ivy

Ivy:

The Duchess crosses the sitting area and much to everyone's surprise takes a seat beside Ivy. The priestess is just as surprised and manages to say, “Your Grace?”

Duchess Lysandra reaches out and takes Ivy's hand. “My condolences on your loss, Lady Ivy,” the Duchess says in a soft and ...

Ivy

Ivy

Ivy mostly wanders the large manor house that Jallarzi lives in after speaking with Baron Validar. The death of Mother Boelle has hit her hard and Ivy just wants to be far away from people. Sure, Ivy has seen death before, but this one was so unexpected, so... personal. Her heart feels as if ...

Ivy

Ivy:

"Healing may be needed more for our enemies than for us. I have specifically chosen a group with a high concentration of magicks to use to infiltrate the Order House. With luck and skill we will shed no blood, but if we should then we also have healers on had to keep the dying to a minimum ...

Ivy

Ivy:

Ivy apologizes for her misunderstanding of the situation.

“Too many other things weigh heavily on my heart right now to think clearly. All that has happened, Mother Boelle’s death… I will go to where I am needed. Where I cannot fight directly, I can make use of my healing magic.”

Ivy

Ivy:

"Last night during my meditations I was informed of just such an occurrence about to happen," Acerion reveals. "I have learned that the Order of the Griffon has been imprisoned in their own house. We must look to this as a situation needing remedy very shortly. We will need those valiant ...

Ivy

Ivy:

"I had no idea my reputation needed enhancing," Acerion replies with a smile, "but you are not the first to comment on my current state. I will indeed endeavor to be clean before this evening is over."

“I meant no offense,” Ivy quickly apologizes. “These last few days have been trying for ...

Ivy

Ivy:

Thankfully, the strange door is left behind untouched. That coupled with the guard situation being peacefully resolved makes Ivy very happy. She’s impressed at the power that Crysania commands. Perhaps someday Ivy will be that potent.

After boarding the Blackhawk, Ivy will speak with Sir ...

Ivy

Ivy:

A discovery is found that bring up a debate amongst the gathered heroes. Acerion listens to everyone and spots Ivy's concerned look. He thinks a moment and then responds, "Even if whatever is sealed is an enemy of the sisters, there is no way to be certain that it would not do vast harm and ...

Ivy

Ivy:

“I believe I know what this is. Jacob Deville spoke of something imprisoned underneath Elcadan Castle while we were in Ansimont. Something that the sisters feared and wished locked away forever. This might be a situation where the enemy of our enemy is our friend.”

“Proceed with your ...

Ivy

Ivy:

After being reassured that Sir Acerion is unharmed, Ivy wanders about with the others. She’s drawn to Sherra’s discovery.

“This might be the castle treasury,” Ivy notes upon seeing the chests.

“Any thought on just what we are dealing with here? Does it present a threat?”

“Logically ...

Ivy

Ivy:

"I am fine, trust me, save your spells sweet Ivy," Acerion says hoping to catch her before she can complete the incantation. There is no need to waste whatever spell she felt she needed to cast. "It is the dragon's blood I am covered head to toe in apparently," he explains. "I feel I will ...

Ivy

Ivy:

Ivy is horrified at the sight of the dragon’s breath weapon in action! They might have been drow, but that is just too horrid for any being to endure.

After the sound of battle has ended, Ivy will go see if any healing is needed. As she makes her way into the cave, she spies the huge dragon ...

Ivy

Ivy:

"I have learned many things in my travels," Acerion replies, "most of all that nothing should be considered final, especially death."

“Something that I know all too well,” Ivy answers with a chuckle, referring to her own death all those many weeks ago.

Battle is engaged and thankfully ...

Ivy

Ivy:

"Only she would know that," Acerion replies. "You said she has told you things. Are you able to speak with her as well? If so, you might be able to learn the truth of it."

“I got the sense that she was telling me things that she could not in life,” Ivy answers. “Not that this was ...

Ivy

Ivy:

"What a gift she bestowed upon you," Acerion replies thoughtfully, helping his beloved up. Ivy continues to reveal other things she has learned, including that the shields can protect a far wider area than previously believed. She also explains the spell that she believes was in use when ...

Ivy

Ivy:

“So the Guardian Shield can be employed in a manner that could protect most, if not all, of Cynalon from her enemies? This is grand news! But we are a long way from being ready to do so. We’ll need to recover the other two shields and then decide where they can be placed.”

“That is how I ...

Ivy

Ivy:

Ivy goes into the familiar ritual of drawing upon divine energy to destroy undead, but this time it seems different somehow. It’s taking longer for the power to build, but it also seems more powerful then ever before. A bright light appears and them envelops the entire area. Ivy blacks out ...

Ivy

Ivy:

Ivy follows along near the rear of the group. When it becomes apparent that light is needed, she’ll command the Kiss of Azrella to illuminate the area around her. As the group moves deeper into the castle, the hairs on the back of Ivy’s neck start to rise up. She can sense that something is ...

Ivy

Ivy:

Ivy remains quiet and near Sir Acerion as the ship moves towards the castle. She will not be among the first to enter, rather she’ll bring up the rear as her faith prevents her from harming these foes. She’ll save her Hold spells for larger groups and Silence for any enemy spellcasters ...

Ivy

Ivy:

"It would seem so," Acerion replies. "I'm sure an official could be posted instead of a direct audience like this, but I think it gives the people faith in their ruler for him to take the time to listen and make a ruling on such matters personally. We must remember that for a lot of these ...

Ivy

Ivy:

The Duke’s day ends, as do our guard responsibilities.

“With the Duke secured, we can now concentrate on other matters,” Sir Corley announces. “Should you choose to do so, you can relax or take care of any pressing tasks until night fall. At that time return to the Sallavarian Estate and ...

Ivy

Ivy:

For the most part Ivy stays close to Sir Acerion. The sadness of the passing of Mother Boelle weights heavily on her mind and she’s not her normal self. The sadness of the plight of the people who come to see the Duke doesn’t help any. There’s been far too much misery on this city ...

Ivy

Ivy:

Validar will have 500gp given to each of the Guardians and their associates (should they not decline it) and 100gp given to each of the New Seekers when they meet up.

Ivy will graciously accept the coins with the intent of donating it to her home temple when she arrives.

"Be safe, my ...

Ivy

Ivy:

Crysania eyes the bodies for a moment, mulling over the words that were spoken. “There is wisdom to your words, Ivy of Azrella. What you suggest is the logical thing to do. But our enemy is not one that is logical. No, they do not seek to kill us, but rather thrive on causing anguish and ...

Ivy

Ivy:

Ivy hears the sound of battle, but holds her position. It ends quickly. Only then will Ivy move closer. It seems that Crysania was wounded. Restoring her mace, Ivy will move closer.

“Let me heal that for you, Crysania.”

The priestess listens with concern as it is explained that the ...

Ivy

Ivy:

The sound of a commotion down below reaches Ivy’s ears. She takes her mace in hand and is ready to rush off and see what is going on. But she stops and stays close to Sir Acerion and the Duke.

“Whatever that is, it might be a diversion to lure us away from the Duke.”

While she keeps guard ...

Ivy

Ivy:

Sir Acerion takes his duties to guard the Duke most seriously and Ivy does her best not to interrupt them. Thus she keeps her time with Sir Acerion to a minimum.

"Of course, my lady," Acerion replies. "I pray that she is not suffering and that the two of you may find a pleasant time ...

Ivy

Ivy:

Ivy will travel to Elcadan by whichever method Sir Acerion chooses, as she wishes to travel with him. So her location is up in the air at the moment, no pun intended.

Ivy

Ivy:

“It is agreeable,” Crysania answers. “No one wants to see friends and loved ones transformed into undead.”

Ivy nods in response. She’s unsure just how this will work out, but is hopeful.

“That she is,” Cereld agrees. “She is Dalliance, an elf maiden who mixes spells and swordplay. We ...

Ivy

Ivy:

Ivy can’t help but watch as the ship draws ominiously closer and closer. But it does slow and does not impact with the ground. Serena appears over the railing.

“I may have just witnessed a miracle,” the Inquisitor calls out. “A few moments ago, Baron Validar was lifeless; now he’s ...

Ivy

Ivy:

The situation continues to change rapidly. Chareos appears to have removed the threat of the acid. Ivy casts healing magic through her mace and many are thankfully saved.

Something happens in the air far away. A spell battle of some sort is in progress. The casters turn out to be Argent and ...

Ivy

Ivy:

Ivy manages to remove some of the Cloudkill, making it a much smaller threat now. The cries of the cavalrymen reach her ears next. Some kind of liquid fell from the sky and it burns those who it touched! Dashing closer, Ivy tries to gather those suffering around here.

“Come closer so that I ...

Ivy

Ivy:

Running past Ivy and taking her arm, “Ivy, Snap out of it!! You act like you never seen a flying ship before?” he says evenly, though the humor is apparent. He must admit it is a strange sight indeed but not at one's own peril!

“Actually, no I haven’t,” Ivy mutters as Regnak passes by ...

Ivy

Ivy:

Things are transpiring at such a rapid pace, that Ivy’s hard pressed to keep up. The woman who cast the spell that hurt so many vanishes before Ivy can begin to cast her own spell. She’ll hold off using any of her spells for now.

A crow buzzes the procession, but then moves off. A Wall of ...

Ivy

Ivy:

Ivy runs forward and once close enough, produces her Holy Symbol and uses the power of the Blue Lady to smite the undead before Baron Validar and Sir Corley. The zombies tumble to the ground and are no longer any threat.

However, the woman with them certainly is a threat! She invokes some ...

Ivy

Ivy:

'Perhaps you are correct. Certainly, it shall not hurt us to do so. I will inform the ladies of this request."

“Me?” Ivy wonders aloud. “Ride in the carriage? If you think its for the best, then I accept.”

Ivy is startled by the request at first, but accepts. One more day not riding a ...

Ivy

Ivy:

After a warm embrace, Acerion listens to Ivy's tale. "An easy battle then. Probably a welcome relief after the tension that had built up around this mystery. It is good that Lyonessa is reunited with her sister as well. It just makes me wonder what happened to the others who were taken and ...

Ivy

Ivy's Spells for the trip:

1st level: Bless, Command, Entangle, Purify Food & Drink

2nd level: Hold Person, Silence 15' Radius, Withdraw, Augury

4th level: Remove Magic, Secret Word

Ivy

Ivy:

The battle against this ‘aboleth’ turns out to be decidedly one-sided. Clearly, it is not a creature of brute force, but one of subtlety that uses illusions and its ability to control others to achieve its goals. With the aboleth defeated, Ivy slides her mace back into her belt and goes to ...

Ivy

Ivy:

"As it is with so many things in life," Acerion says in reply.

Ivy smiles in response as best she can, but it’s clear that she’d rather not go. Already she is breaking her vow not to be apart, but it is for a good cause.

"That is certainly a concern, then. And all the more reason to ...

Ivy

Ivy:

"Of course you must go," Acerion says, complete acceptance in his tone. "They will have need of your gifts, my love. I too hope that the night is uneventful, but I believe it can not be so until we get to the bottom of what is happening here."

“We will return as soon as we can,” Ivy tells ...

Ivy

Ivy:

"Where is she!?" the obviously agitated man demands. "What have you done to Myveria?"

"I don't know where she is now," Charles calmly answers. "All I know is that the master desired her."

"Phelan, wait!" Lyonessa calls out, rushing forward before he can injure or kill Charles. Ivy casts ...
