| Before going on the Quest, perhaps read the update on Dungeons in the How To DM thread.
Nir looked at the map the church delegate had given him. After a week or so of diving through the archives, the holy man had found that the lurid idols the party had destroyed earlier were the exact match of the female founder of a church sect that called the midara messengers from the heavens, and viewed their lovemaking as the path to reach enlightenment. Their old headquarters, a weather-worn chapel, was located precisely in the area in the midst of all the villages that had been visited by midara preachers and merchants selling the idols. The delegate thought to once again hire the adventurers who had helped the church with their previous problem, but only Nir was available at the moment. Luckily enough, the scythewielder had found two other companions to take their place: a foreign warrior named Tsurugi and a youngster who held a grudge against this particular group of temptresses. They soon arrive at the omnious entrance of the chapel, an unnatural silence lingering over the place: https://c2.staticflickr.com/6/5303/5670297125_208354f4f1_z.jpg

| Tsurugi looks around the immediate area. "Let's see what we have here." | |

| "Then I'll head towards the passageway." Erik said before heading down the other path. Despite going up against a possibly very dangerous opponent, he was somewhat glad for the space from his companions.

| Tsurugi searches the Entrance. Roll=5 Succes! The adventurer looks at the crumbling walls and finds an inscription near a worn fresco: "The divine is beauty without end/ On wings of lust we shall ascend." This writing seems to be of the sect who used to reside her.
Nir moves towards the Basin. It is a crumbling room with a bath in the middle on a raised platform. The bath is empty.
Erik moves towards the Passageway(I assumed you meant this with heading in the opposite direction). It is a corridor which look like it could collapse if one so much as sneezes.
The adventurers go their separate ways.

| (Yeah, that's what I meant. Sorry for the mistake.)
Erik began to examine the old decrepit hallway. | |

| Erik snoops around in the rickety structure! Roll 3=Partial succes! The adventurer trudges through the passage, inspecting every inch. However, he puts his hand in the wrong place, sending a part of the hallway crumbling! While he manages to avoid the worst of the ensuing shower of stone, one of them still painfully lands on his noggin! 3 direct Stamina damage, Erik's Stamina is now 12! The adventurer sees stars, but manages to shake it off!
Nir examines the abandoned room. Roll=6 Succes! It must have been used for baptisms of some sort, according to the images on the wall. He inspects a somewhat hidden alcove, and finds a Holy Water! They must have used this to fill up the tub! (Holy Water added to inventory)
Tsurugi moves to the Basin area, and spots Nir pocketing a bottle. Huh, he must have cleared out the room already!
The party is learning more and more about what ruïn they're in!

| Erik comes from one door opening, and Nir and Tsurugi from the other. The party is complete again, standing inside a dome-shaped room held aloft with several pillars. A platform with an altar is on the far side of the room, sitting under a broken statue that's vaguely recongnizable as the shape the idols were made in. Candles, scrolls and empty vials littering the floor show signs that this place has been in use recently. The room is eerily quiet.
The party briefly discusses what they've found inside the chapel. This place was probably used for ceremonies, but what kind of ceremonies?

| "Wait. We've been to every room, and still haven't run into any Midara. Are we sure this is the right place?" Erik asks as he starts examining the Altar. | |

| Tsurugi smiled and nodded. "I found words that I can't understand in the first room. but what I could make out was about an angel and lust." | |

| Tsurugi tells him comrades about the inscription. Lust-inducing angels, that certainly means they're at the right place. They start to inspect the room in detail: Nir=roll 5 Tsurugi=1 Erik=4
Nir looks at the statue. It does look like those idols of the previous job indeed! Erik picks up some of the scrolls. The instructions are rather arcane, but he can make out that they have something to do with lust being the key to ascension. Tsurugi stalks around the pillars...when he suddenly feels a soft kiss in his neck. "Well, I knew I should have expected company sooner or later, but I thought it would be some hapless pilgrims instead of armed adventurers!", the owner of the lips speaks.
Tsurugi bats the woman away and jumps backwards, drawing his weapon. Nir and Erik are at his side instantly, doing the same. A gorgeous neophyte steps into the light: http://i00.i.aliimg.com/wsphoto/v0/1938482002_1/New-2014-Women-s-Adult-Sexy-White-font-b-Greek-b-font-font-b-Goddess-b.jpg "I am Lydia, priestess of love, here to ascend to the heavens on wings of lust!" she shouts. "My followers will spread the message of unity between men and midara through all the corners of this province!" She takes on a provocative stance, ready to do battle!

| Nir swings his sickle in a broad arc! Nir's Aim: 3+(roll 2)=5 Neophyte's Reflex: 3+(roll 2)=5 Partial succes! Lydia dives back, but is still scraped by the tip! Nir's Power: 5+(equip 1)*(Glance 0.5)=3 Neophyte's Toughness: 3 Failure! Only her clothing is damaged! "You shouldn't have done that, now looks what happens!", Lydia points out.
The Aegis spins and glows in seeming anger, and retaliates! Aegis' Aim: 3+(roll 4)=7 Nir's Reflex: 5+(equip 1)+(roll 1)=7 Partial succes! Nir puts his scythe in the arc of the disc, and it bumps slightly off course! Aegis' Power: 5*(glance 0.5)=2.5>3 Nir's Toughness: 2+(equip 1)=3 Failure! It bounces off Nir's armor without doing any damage! The adventurer scoffs at the meager effort.
Erik strikes from the other side at the Neophyte while this is happening! Erik's Aim: 3+(roll 2)=5 Neophyte's Reflex: 3+(roll 2)=5 Partial succes! The midara once again steps out of the way of the sword a tad too late! Erik's Power: 4+(equip 1)*(glance 0.5)=2.5>3 Neophyte's Toughness: 3 Failure! A lock of her hair falls off, but she's otherwise unharmed! "My, it's surely a day of near-misses, isn't it?", the temptress observes.
Tsurugi thinks it wise to take care of the midara's protective magicks! Tsurugi's Aim: 3+(roll 4)=7 Aegis' Reflex: 4+(roll 2)=6 Succes! His katana cuts into the disc! Tsurugi's Power: 4+(equip 1)=5 Aegis' Toughness: 0 Succes! 5 Stamina damage! Aegis' Stamina is now 0! It shatters into fragments of light! "It's really not much use, dear, I can always create more!" the seductress taunts.
"People who surpress their desires for my body are especially annoying! Here, have something that will make you suffer for your hypocrisy!" the midara shouts, aiming at Tsurugi. Sinner's Seal-action-5 Willpower The target gets a spell cast on them that forms a seal on their wrist, used in older times by the devout to unlearn their sinful desires. Anytime the target suffers Willpower damage, the Seal activates and does 2 direct Stamina damage. The Seal lasts for (roll)-2 rounds. Does not count as a debuff, so no Recovery rolls are possible. (roll 4)-2=2 rounds! A bolt of light shoots from her hand and hits Tsurugi in the chest. A sensation goes through him, telling his body to move away from carnal thoughts. Tsurugi shakes his head and now finds a seal on his hand that he's not sure of what it does! -4 Willpower for the ability, Neophyte's Willpower is now 44! "I'm going to enjoy tormenting you!", she gloats.
Aegis Genesis-passive- (roll 1) Failure! The simultaneous spellcasting seems to interfere with the midara's generation of the Aegis! -2 Willpower for the ability, Neophyte's Willpower is now 42!
Sinner's Seal on Tsurugi lasts 2 more rounds! Focus Penalty on Tsurugi lasts 1 more round!
The party has gained greater knowledge of their opponent's capabilities!
The party's turn! Erik's options: >Attack(Power/Sensual) >Use Item >Defend >Flee
Nir's options: >Attack(Power/Sensual) >Use Ability >Use Item >Defend >Flee
Tsurugi's options: >Attack(Power/Sensual) >Use Ability >Use Item >Defend >Flee | |
