Encounter 6: Out of the frying pan...

[HeadofVecna]

Xuuvosic scrambles into the area outside the DMZ. He fiddles with the enveloping pit for a moment before turning with a stream of curses. "RJ, get this motherfucking piece of shit open. Won't fucking matter if you two hotshit knights don't have the key. But the damn Cloakers won't be able to hold the wasps much longer. So lets hear it, now or fucking never bitches. We all get to safety and you can try to save Myth Drannor or whatever, or we all die."

UMD check (failed 22), Intimidate check (36)

"Well, when you put it THAT way..." Raoul gets ready to jump into the pit.

The human hesitates for but a moment, then pulls out a silver amulet that looks like a stylized musical note imprinted upon a leaf. He hands it to the demanding little demon as he drags his companions into the pit.

"The things I put up with for my job." Marlowe sighs, climbing into the pit after the two knights.

Accepting the cloth with a grunt, Ris-Janna spreads it as far as it will open across the pocket of active magic, then picks a coin out of her pouch as the rest climb inside. Holding it into the cranny, she passes her other hand over the coin, plunging the pocket into shadows briefly until she pulls the coin back into the dead-magic zone and passes it to Xuuvosic. "There. Cover the coin. You end up in a group of hostiles... you uncover it and teleport again." With that, she squeezes into the pit herself as well.

Casting Darkness on a coin and handing it to Xuuvosic so he can cover his escape if he ends up somewhere we don't want to be teleporting blindly.

Cade furrows his brow a bit, causing an undesirable wrinkle to form in his forehead. "Hey, the demons saw us in here. Do we want them knowing we've got the key? If it doesn't matter, maybe it could be a bit of a bargaining chip." He then shrinks down to a more manageable size and climbs into the pit.

[HeadofVecna]

Eying Keldon, Xuuvosic replies, "Ain't any way around it. If we don't 'port out, we'll have no fucking bargaining position, mostly from being dead. And Chokes-On-Dick probably didn't see Raoul, so he might not know that anybody got out at all."

The moment everyone else is in the pit, X. teleports to a random stretch of desert on the far side of the planet, aiming mostly for ... nighttime.
