First, post your full current character sheet. We will use its current form to prevent players from gaining skills on the fly specifically to deal with a current situation. (Also for my sanity)

Second, narrate your actions. If you think you need a roll for an action include one if I think you need one I'll let you know. This will be narration-heavy, and more like a traditional Quest.

Let's begin.

Name: Gram Roderick
Bio: Gram hails from a famous, some say infamous, Knight family. While most Mage Knights hold themselves to a certain image of honor and respect, at least on the surface, the Rodericks have shown little and less care for typical "honor". While they fight with weapons and armor typical of knights, their combat style more closely resembles that of assassins. While technically Mage Knights, Roderick knights are nicknamed "Assassin Knights".

Making my character sheet up to date.

>>1143348
I think the point of posting your sheet the first time was so you couldn't update it while on the quest.

>>1143356

yea but i did a turn before going on the quest and i wanted to get all that stuff in there before this all started. so the earlier post was out dated a bit.
I won't post my sheet anymore after this.

So I guess we wait for Alic?

yep he'll be around in a couple hours I think.

You pray to the light, and for a time, nothing answers. You're about to give up when the horse, lathered and breathing heavily, steps carefully onto the sand, staring straight into Arthur's eyes.
It snorts softly into the silence of the full moon, before turning and walking into the forest -- straight towards the source of the scream.

You begin traveling through the forest, presences are felt, the horse whinnies, dark silhouettes surround you.

>Were you surprised? Roll some form of perception.

NOTE: We will be experimenting with a slightly different system, for each roll state the primary skill/ability being used, roll 1d(100+X*10) where X is the tier of the major ability. DC's will be partially determined by secondary relevant skills so please also include those. If you have any questions feel free to ask.
e.g. Alic with Blood Sense T2 would roll 1d120

The horse screams as it's hoofs struck into one of the figures making sickening crunches, your attack which out of surprise goes wide, happens to strike the figure just as they are thrown to the side. The sword is ripped from your hands as this occurs.

From their perspective you move unnaturally fast, the blade hits air and they turn to see you with a grin and a joint extended. You see something akin to awe and fear in their eyes as you deliver your line. They drop their weapon and hesitant accept the joint.

While you think they are dead or dying, you don't have the medical knowledge to really tell. You seriously doubt they are getting up, however. Just to be safe you take their daggers away, other than dark robes and simple black trousers they both wear a simple stone pendant with a strange sigil (pic related) carved all the way through the stone.

Certain enough the other two aren't getting up, take the pendant and show it to the (depending on her answers, for now) survivor. Ask (demand) to know who she is, what this pendant is, and why she attacked us along with those other two. You know what, just ask (demand) she tell us everything.

She breathes in slowly, holding for a moment, before slowly breathing out. "You've got good taste. We're attacking you because we were told to. You know, death cults, it's a whole thing." She takes another drag as Gram speaks, "Oh god are you trying to intimidate me?" Her body shakes with laughter, "kid unless you can torture my soul forever you can't really compete with the punishment for rats." Another drag. "I think he could use one of these." She grins wickedly to Zoot before catching sight of the horse.

"That's a nice mare," she nodded to Arthur, "I can't tell you where to go, but I'm pretty sure she can."

They are immersed in the chant and do not notice your approach. You hover in the shadows, but cannot decipher their words. On a rough stone slab in a young woman in a blood-stained white dress. Five are in a circle with one next to the women, hands outstretched.

She does not move and looks very pale.

Two: Hang out here and see what happens.

I turn to look at the mare that guided us here. "I've got a few suggestions for your plan, James. We should probably do something with the horse, as she seems pretty important, and we don't want to risk losing her. I'll ride her into the battle, unless someone else wants to. I'm alright at horseriding. I can burst in and be the main distraction on horseback, while Gram can flank them from behind. Zoot should probably try to get the woman out of there, since she seems to be a major part of the ritual, and James, you can charge in after my distraction thing. Is that okay?"

>>1147595
"Good, lets do that. As soon as you're ready"

For those of you that don't know how initiative works you roll it before your action ;)
I'll let it slide this time, though.

As Arthur charges in, the surprise makes one of the cultists stop chanting, for a single syllable.
The man in the center screams, a figure made of shadow and mirage (pic related.) Thin trickles of blood seem to flow off thin air, the woman begins to stir, the cultists starts to run. Scattering in the night.

It makes some, noise, Arthur, of course, recognizes the sound. It's the laughter he heard before. It lunges towards Zoot as he runs by but seeing the danger Zoot backs off.

The laughter stops, "Thanks are in order, you have freed me after all." You get the feeling it's smiling.

"Alright, man, yes, I screwed up, and my plan didn't work. I thought the cultists would attack me to defend their ritual, and that then you guys could kill them and screw up their ritual while they were distracted, but obviously fucking not. How the hell was I supposed to know that the cultists would just fucking run away from their ritual, or that they were pretty much fucking done already?"

I sigh heavily. "Anyway, this is not the time for this. You can hate on me all you want after we kill this shadow thing. If you really want to, you can go after the escaping cultists, but we need you here. We have no idea what this shadow thing is capable of."

"How rude, it is customary to introduce oneself first." It speaks to Zoot, as Gram begins his monologue it seems to almost be twitching with anger about half way through Arthurs response, "ENOUGH"

You are both so absorbed in the conversation you do not have time to get out of the way of its attack.

A blade of immaterium rips through gram, it seems to do no damage on the surface but he immediately feels weaker. -30 on total dice (so if you would roll a 1d100 normally not roll 1d70)

You waver before the terror of the scream.

"Finally. Now you mongrels will -"

"DEUS VOLT!" A small group of men and women in red attire seem to be-

It's the fucking Spanish inquisition. You never expected this. You really should have. Two initiates rush to the woman, a Paladin and an Inquisitor stands before the creature. The Paladin steps forward, a mountain of a man, he must be seven feet and covered in beautiful plate armour, the red tabard on his front.

The Inquisitor begins to chant: "Then sware they all together and bound themselves by mutual imprecations upon it. And they were in all two hundred; who descended in the days of..."

The thing tried to scream again, but the voice seemed to catch in its throat. It tried to rush forward and the Paladin brought it's shield forth displaying symbols radiating holy fervour.

It stumbles back and turns to rush the woman. The initiates display crosses...

>>1152363
It laughs at their pathetic efforts, two quick cuts dropping them. It continues towards the woman more leisurely, the paladin rushes forward but will not reach her in time. Only you are near enough.

The chant continues: "...Jared on the summit of Mount Hermon, and they called it Mount Hermon, because they had sworn and bound..."

The chanting loosens the bonds on you, you may attempt to resist the unholy terror once more.

Major: T5 Swordfighting

Arthur and Gram break the curse simultaneously. Gram casting a portal and Arthur rushing to the woman.

The Paladin does not question the portal, stepping through. Arthur goes to meet the blade but phases through it, there is a moment of horror when the portal opens. The horrid screech of the blade on the runed surface of the paladin's shield. He wields the five-and-a-half-foot sword like a horsewhip, it whistles as the end cleaves the thing nearly in two. It seems to attempt to reform...

"...themselves by mutual imprecations upon it." There is a deafening emptiness as the darkness fills everything as if the world itself blinked.

Where it was, there only the night, the moon watching you all.
The initiates do their work, the paladin moves over to Zoot placing a hand on his fallen form.

Life returns to Zoot, with a jerk and a cough.
>You are weakened, for the remainder of the plot, your max HP is 80.

The Inquisitor looks at the dead cultist and eyes all of you carefully. His eyes rove the place, seeing tracks leading into the forest.
"Thank you. If not for your intervention we would have been too late, I will take penance for this Brother Abram." He first speaks to you, then the Paladin -- who doesn't answer.

"I, on behalf of the Holy Order of Madrid, request you speak of this to no one. She is hunted."

One initiate picks her up gently, "Brother Abram has seen to your wounds." He seems to be saying goodbye. Indeed, at that, he turns and leads the group into the forest.

He then turns and stares straight at where James is hiding in the woods.
"Redeemable. Return to a righteous path."

"Gram, what the hell are you doing? We're supposed to be chasing after cultists, not fighting with Inquisitors of the Spanish Inquisition! We're supposed to find out what's going on here, not try to kill the people that just helped us kill that shadow thing! You can pick a fight with them afterwards, but remember, we're still trying to chase down those cultists that ran off too!" I turn to the Inquisitor.
