"Ping pong, even if you did land a good roll"
"Hahahaha! You fools, did you think you could upset the Law!?"
>>5527
Ooooh, that would've been an excellent move, except,...
"Enough! AS ABOVE SO BELOW!!" As she intones these words, several effects occur. All the party's hearing is nulled, replaced by a shrill ringing. Each member is now deafened. In addition, each member is having difficulty moving (slowed).
"Did you think you could venture into MY realm and have YOUR way with things? Repent!"
She says, preparing another spell.

>>5527
Taze, in spite of that magnificent die roll, is ineffective against a wall of force ~_~

[1d20 = 5]
>>5528
Trump pulls out his copy of Super Bowl XXXII, and casts FOOTBALL with it

>>5529
O-oh okay.

[1d20 = 11]
>>5528
Aren't paladins immune to such effects?

*retreat behind corner and enact stealth, to recover briefly*

Thez continues to rail against the wall, with increasing force (including a particular technique which beams a 4' diameter tube of blackened-purplesque hatred-murder) to no effect.

[4d8 = 16]
>>5530
"Ahhahahah! Impressive that you know the word of Football, but you are not strong enough to exert its force upon me! Despair that you have come here this night!
She unleashes a bolt of lighting that forks from player to player.
>>5532
No just diseases and poisons. Slow still works.

>>5534
Did that hit me? I thought I retreated and was in stealth.

>>5534
Trumpaladin signals to the other players "follow me" with a motion of his hands, and runs back towards the door from whence they came

>>5536
Already there

>>5537
Trump mouths out "fall back, fall back," and continues again towards the door

>>5536
charges towards the door

>>5535
Magic is irrespective of stealth, but duly noted.
"NO! I won't leave without my,... rahhhahhaahhahhhh!" Thez screams.
"Don't make me say it!"

[6d8 = 29]
The queen casts another bolt, this one striking Thez only.

>>5542
Trumpaladin signals over to Thez, "leave"

[1d20 = 1]
>>5544
oh shit i run over to thez, and grab her.

"Curse you all! I won't leave! No matter what it takes! That's MY property! Sod it all! Get out while you can! " she screams.

>>5540
>>5541
Trumpaladin runs out of the field of effect of the queen, and addresses the other party members
"Looks like we're not getting her shields down. Not at our current power levels, at least not with out Tourcil, though I'm not sure he could have made a difference. We need to set up shop in Port Barry before we return. But there may still be another way to reveal the secrets of the past. Not every link is in the form of an inanimate paper bundle. And I know how to make her talk"

>>5546
You trip in the process

>>5547
no infernuis not leave you behind!!

[1d20 = 1]
>>5547
Trumpaladin reenters to remove Thez

[1d20 = 11]
>this would be a great time for the building to come down
Roll for enhanced trap detection

>>5553
>Destroying our means to kill the Terraesque later
Hell no!

The queen laughs at your failures and fires off another lightning bolt.
"This is MY domain! Despair!" she cries triumphantly.

>>5555
STOP FUCKING AROUND AND HELP THE PARTY! Retrieve Thez!

gets up, continues over to thez

>>5553
What did I detect?!

>>5555
Nice gets, I was hoping to steal that myself, but oh well.
Thez, smouldering from several lightning bolts slumps in defeat. "Its come to this then has it? Very well. I'm not leaving without my contract."
She checks to see that the party is sufficiently out of range before addressing the queen.
"So you know the Dictum. Good for you, but there is something you DON'T know. Let me tell you!" She is veritably steaming energy and rage.
"Starlight Glimmer is best Pone!"
As Thez speaks these words, the party (just out of range, thankfully) is spared from the blackness that fills the room.
The blackness is a mix of undeath and perversion. It is a tangible madness mixed with suffering and rage. The whole gamut of negative and dissociative energies, the lot of which eliminates the Queen with a resounding <sphleugh>.

>>5562
THAT, was Blasphemy

>>5562
Oh God, I hope you didn't just summon greater evils!

>>5563
holy shit!! THEZ NO!!!!!!

>>5562
>was going to bait her into leaving with severed tail
Is she dead?

As glops of Queen slowly trickle down from the ceiling, Thez stands in the middle, completely exhausted. She slowly walks to the scroll and takes possession.
"At last," she says, taking possession of the scroll, before falling unconscious.

>>5567
*Steals scroll from unconscious Thez*

The scroll is after all, her erstwhile record-contract. She lies on the floor, completely wasted and immobile, though clutchting the scroll as though her life depended on it.
The room is clear, the Owner's Manual (not to mention the PILE of gold and jewels) lay about, ready to be claimed.

>>5567
*throws thez over shoulder*

>>5568
Oh no. Cut her hands off if you want to take THAT.

>>5563
"You fool! You did not merely utter blasphemy, nor did you simply speak evil. You uttered BAIT, evil not merely for what it is, but for what it brings"
Trumpaladin rushes forth to take the owners manual, and leaves in haste

>>5571
Should I?

>>5569
But not before grabbing some gold and jewels... Cathedral not going to pay for itself

>>5572
You have no idea, this sets in motion a series of events you'll have to wait to see.

[1d20 = 3]
perception for anything interesting.

*pockets as many shekels and special items as her saddlebags can carry*
"This'll make for a great wedding ceremony!"

WIth the Queen's death, her lock on teleportation ceases, and Lenos pops in unceremoniously. "Good, now we can get this bitch off the ground (talking about the building).
Hold onto your hats"
