Zenith resumes his fluent and very original cursing. He has been complimented on the fact that he can curse for several minutes solidly without repeating the same curse twice.
Eventually, with some effort, he regains his composure - one as solidly trained as him does not get upset easily.
"Why, exactly, did we even bother to bring the essences with us? Why did we not leave them in Shalandra's very capable hands? It seems like we were just ASKING for them to be stolen..."
"This looks like the work of Lorien ch'Samnal, a high priest of Ghaunadar, who has been credited with another incident involving TWO separate oozes much like this one, on the surface, about a year ago, before he disappeared. This is... not good news."
He regains the solid, dependable facade he naturally projects to those around him.
For a split second, Serato appears even impatient on the misfortune.
"I believe we may have done just as someone wished," He says, peering into the chaos of the rift intently; "At this point we have to decide whether to retrieve them now, or take back the Death Essence first. That is, if the latter can even be pursued at this point."
And yes, no incantatrix for you. Or anyone. That class makes puppies cry. Mostly because they are the former Big Bads who have been Baleful Polymorphed into said puppies. By you. Because you're an incantatrix.

This is Deraxas we're talking about.
Remember, the girl that just killed an aspect of herself before literally consuming her?
Yeah, I don't see her handling a pissing match in any way other than a duel.

I suppose it's true. Though the logistics implied in a human/Great Wyrm Prismatic Dragon pairing makes me shudder.
...Something tells me that even should all arcane casters in the world unite, that the Grease spell would NOT be sufficient.
"The question that is not answered is this. Where is the castle that Necrotius resides in? Why was an Ooze of Lorien here and not the castle? Did Necrotius fall to Lorien, or did they make an unholy pact?" Z's face becomes more serious now than ever before. His expression almost as that of hate and loss.
"Either way, things must be taken care of" with a flick of his wrist, Z procures a bag from nowhere, the very bag that held the essence of death before Caex lost it.
"I believe this belongs to you" he says holding it out towards Caex.
"I agreed to return this to you in exchange for your aid, but now that the task has changed I must change my plan. I will hunt Necrotius another day, for now I must find this Lorien, he must know where the Castle is" Z begins moving towards the shadows of the buildings.
"Damn! What in the name of the Spider Queen's Drider pet sock puppet is going on!?"

Blasphemy! The system is perfect. The ability to create a spell to duplicate gods at skill check DC 10 is totally balanced and doesn't say anything about the system's viability!

I have an aversion to being blasted. As such, it would seem I must post to avoid such an explody fate.
Caex blinks in shock at the essence. "You had it the whole time," he growls at Z. "If you really wanted to gain my trust, you could have just given it to me when you first made contact."
"I guess it's time to visit this 'Lorien'. I want those essences back."
Everything scares me... kitties scare me... squirrels scare me... corpses....corpses bring forth a pletora of confusing feeling which i prefer not to dwell on...:p
"I have it, but at the same time do not. I do not have the ability to contain or with hold its power, I have stashed it elsewhere for safe keeping." Z looks to Caex, his eyes watching the darkness around them.
"I will retrieve it upon returning to the surface" he says begining to walk back towards the tunnel where the portal was they found earlier.

Alacar looks over at Z and sighs, putting his hands on his hips. "Great, so all of this was a trap. It figures. Why can't the villains ever play by the rules, like they used to?" He ran his fingers through his hair and grumbled, getting rather agitated.
"Okay.. so how the hell do we get out of here.. and where do we go to get this Lorien...? I'm tempted to just teleport into his chambers and feed him his own entrails..." He deactivates his weapon and adjusts his cloak and grabs his lantern. He wonders if they actually have a focus, or are just following any available leads.
"When did they ever play by the rules?" Serato muses aloud; "In any case I suggest we consult that diviner, Vero. He may be able to pinpoint the location of the Essences in the Demonweb Pits. That is, if we can even find our way out of this place."
"I know nothing of this diviner, so I would speculate his skill is not legendary, however, any help would be good right now." Z says glancing back towards the path leading away from the city.
"As for leaving this place, I believe I can get us out of here, but we must make it back towards the previous portal." he says walking up the path towards the wall that the portal let out at.
