Welcome to Gaia! ::

While Layla's looking at the dagger, I get Willow's attention and toss her the spell book I found. "Not sure if it's exactly the same, as the one you found, but I know how I have now use for this."

I look at the piece of paper (without reading it just yet) and the crystal before recognizing that it looked like the one I had gotten awhile ago. Once I realize this, I quickly begin to rummage through my backpack to see if I have the crystal from before, making sure to keep the crystal and paper securely in my hand so they don't fall somewhere.

Taking the two items I found, I hand the dagger back to Nyx. "Here, We could sell it, but if we're fighting more demons, it might be better to keep it." I say, before looking at the strange paper. I attempt to remove any kind of curse remains on the paper and destroy it.

I look at the two crystals curiously before I put them both in the backpack and sit down to read the slip of paper.

Willow:
Your scythe is clean. The books are not the same. The first spell is one that makes your weapon evil. This allows it to bypass damage reduction on certain creatures, but will half its power against holy people (clerics, monks, etc.).

Everyone:
We can time skip at any time. Also, Leina's player has opted to leave the RP, so I will bot her until such a time that I can remove her properly.

I dispose of the paper anyways, it's bad juju to try and keep old demon summoning scraps on you. I continue trying to find way to propel myself into the air as I wait.

Willow:
{WIS 13: 19}
{WIS bonus: -1}
{Final WIS roll: 18}
Unfortunately, these spells seem pretty hard to learn...

Layla:
{DEX 14: 15}
{DEX bonus: -2}
{Final DEX roll: 13}
You manage to get yourself into the air pretty easily, but still can't figure out how to maintain it.

Everyone:
Before you all are able to leave the area, you all receive a vibration from a tome. These tomes are your Skill Tomes. You are being informed that you have earned a level-up during this fight. You are each at 160EXP! You each get +2 to your maximum HP, and 2 points to distribute to your attributes. Attributes now cannot exceed 16 points without a racial/class modifier. Remember that you get +1 maximum HP for every 2 points spent on CON.
A player asked me about levels and EXP during the last fight, and I blew her off. However, I think she's right, and it'll be necessary to help the sliding-scale of NPC levels and stats. Please include your stat changes in your next post.



Everyone:
{Event distance roll d8: 7}
You all go west across a lake, over flatland, and through a swamp, roughly totaling three-quarters of a mile. During this journey, Tasson explains that the Challenge may have rules limiting the number of fighters, so his pack may have to hang back. However, he does state that you can add of them to your guild so that they can go to your guild hall whenever they are not needed. There will be a member of the Interkingdom Guild Registry Service at the Challenge.
{Event type d4: 4/Negative-aggressive}
{Enemy types d6: 1/soldiers, 2/assassins, 3/demons, 4/zombies, 5/mages, 6/elementals}
{Enemy types roll d6: 2}
{Enemy count roll d8:6}
After a mile of flatland, traveling northwest, you are stopped by a group of quick-moving assassins! ID Lenses provide the following info:

Human Assassin, LV2
HP: 15
STR: 13+2 (+2 from racial bonus)
DEX: 16
CON: 16
INT: 13
WIS: 10
CHA: 12

These assassins do not appear to be connected to the Red Army. There are six of them, all dual-wielding daggers. They have light armor, but make up for it in speed and strength. They have not spoken a word yet, but have formed a circle around you. Tasson, Ulka, Lyriana, Lud, and Talc get ready to attack. Stek and the wolf pack bunch together, in case there are others.
