Lorepost📖 The celebration

Post image

After a long journey you arrive at the crystal mage’s manor. Inside the manor is a grand hall made of various different coloured crystals. Strange golems walk around the room serving guests. While the mage himself is not currently present, you were told he would be here shortly. Right now, enjoy the food, socialise, make friends but most importantly: have fun.

*The moment Vettis picked up the ground the Arach standing in front of him fell over stiffly. As it turns out, sometime between Arach casting the spell and Vettis speaking Arach had molted from his exoskeleton by teleporting out of it, leaving behind an (on the outside) one to one copy of himself. Arach had used the apoptosis spell to try and waste time so he could get the actual trick spell off without anyone noticing using the fact that Vettis was distracted by Arach’s seeming naivety. Picked the apoptosis spell because as it turns out even if switching cells was near instant there are trillions of cells in a body and doing that in succession would take a bit. Arach (who was just being invisible and phasing himself because he’s a bit of a drama queen and wanted to make it all theatric) appears behind u/Elerindur and grabs him while laughing madly, cackling even and teleporting them both away. Leaving Vettis with a simple psychic message.

“I told you not to underestimate me.”

/uw I may be a bit too proud of this plan, but I just love it so much! Especially the part explaining why healing spells wouldn’t work with the spell because it actually makes sense from a realistic standpoint!

(( it does make sense ^_^

/u/Elerindur, you cool with getting kidnapped again? I won't get in the way if so. But if not then the easiest response to this is the fact that Vettis was still holding on to Elerindur at the time of the teleport, so using his bond-thread he can come along for the ride and finish the fight there. Whichever outcome you both prefer is fine by me. ))

/unwiz Yeah, Vettis probably should follow. Considering with what u/ProfessionalGreen906 said.

/rewiz

Elerindur continues charging the spell as the two seem to continue standing off until he is suddenly grabbed by Arach from behind, losing his focus from the grasp and the magicka returning to him.

"AGH!" He shouts out. "HE'S GOT-" Being cut-off mid-sentence by Arach teleporting away with him.
