Near the Mouth of Madness [D2, EM]

[Sings-With-Purpose]

She looked around for anything she might use, before deciding against kidnapping any of the furniture or what not. That might be trouble.

"Alright, two questions, one; what are the dimensions to the portal 'ere to Xaos, and two, what manner of thing would be most helpful? Thoughts?"

[Valeria Brightheart]

She shrugs. "I...suppose it can be? Any protections you want to use should go up now before we begin." Looking back. "Is the big guy coming too or is this it?"

Reminded, Valeria gave a wave of her wand. A trail of sparkles followed it, and glittering lights swirled around her for a moment.

[Ore]

"Is there still room for a steady hammer arm?" Ore asks, warhammer tapping on the back of his fame.

[Illiam'iira]

"Is there still room for a steady hammer arm?" Ore asks, warhammer tapping on the back of his fame.

"Mister Ore!" Illiam waves his way! "Yes, we were waiting for you! Okay! Uhm, mister Ore, Quev, c'mere, I'm gonna link our hearts together." The tiny drow girl waits expectantly for them both to approach -- Quevlin'e (unfortunately) knows what's up, and she knows he's likely to grumble bout it... even so... it's magic time.

[Quevlin'e]

Quev will let out a low groan as he remives his helm and leans down so Illia can reach with her little noodle arms.

[Illiam'iira]

Quev will let out a low groan as he remives his helm and leans down so Illia can reach with her little noodle arms.

Illiam'iira regards Quevline with a loving smile as she takes his hands in hers. One pair is placed over her heart (her hand laid above Quev's), the other finding its place above Quev's own (Quev's hand laid above hers). And then she leans up to touch their foreheads together.

"Whol gaer zhah nau trakk tu'fyr udossa aed udossta rarr."

The magic takes root. From Illiam's chest bursts a opalescent chrysalis which unfurls like a bloom into a sugar pink crystal heart bound in silvery rose thorns. It rushes to meet Quev's, which bursts forth from his own chest, rigid lapis lazuli bound by a golden sentinel shield within whose iris lies her family's crest. The two collide in a cascade of indigo sparkles which quickly disappear. Illiam gives Quev's cheek a light pap before stepping away. "There, now, that wasn't so bad, was it?" And then she starts giggling. Quev always acts like a baby when she casts the spell. Because he is one. And that's one of his many charms.

Magic: Heart to Heart link with Quevlin'e

[Ore]

Ore moves closer to the small Drow, holding his arms at his side to do...whatever is necessary.

[Flession]

"Well then, everyone prepped up and ready?" The halfling said with a hazy smile. "Cast all the spells you want now before you go in." She stands next to a mirror inside of the basement and the mirror begins to glow brightly, swirling around it. "After you. I'm holding the key so I'm the last one in. Just...try not to wander too far, please."

She looked around for anything she might use, before deciding against kidnapping any of the furniture or what not. That might be trouble.

"Alright, two questions, one; what are the dimensions to the portal 'ere to Xaos, and two, what manner of thing would be most helpful? Thoughts?"

She shrugs. "First answer is...anything. Last time I was there, it was a orb on a statue. Previous time, it was a tree. You'll know it when you see it is about all I can say. Second thing...uhh...good question."

[Illiam'iira]

Ore moves closer to the small Drow, holding his arms at his side to do...whatever is necessary.

Illiam'iira again repeats the spell, though this one is much less familiar; she does not take Ore's hands, nor ask him to lean down. (Quev gets special treatment, unfortunately for him.) Instead she places one hand over her heart and one over his own -- and it is his heart -- before casting the spell, in common this time: "For there is no difference between us except our hearts."

Again her heart appears, and the gem set within Ore's chest opens in a door of clockwork gears, a ribbon of molten metal twirling out and around her own heart before wrapping itself into the shape of a heart that sets into crystalline yellow. The meeting of their hearts produces dusky orange-pink sparkles this time. With a smile Illiam'iira chirps out, "Alright, one more spell and then I'm ready!"

Magic: Heart to Heart link with Ore

(OOC -- Will cast last spell together with Sings creating a New Friend so we can hop on forward! Just want Sings to get her piece in too before that!)

[Sings-With-Purpose]

Well, nobody seemed to have any ideas for her, so she decided to just go ahead and come up with one of her own. First though, she went to the task of casting a basic enhancement spell on her, strengthening her mind, imagining it might help.

[casting Enhance Ability: Intelligence on self]

Next however, she opened her mouth and out came... well, seemingly nothing, though the air trembled a little and after a few moments one could hear the faint echo a celestial sounding harmony reverberating off the nearby walls. As this happened, the space in front of her began to shift and something started to materialize out of thin air:

A statue that looked identical to armadillo pet she had with her, complete with something that appeared like a ruby in its forehead same as the critter had. Only the statue was much larger, appeared to be made of brass, and had small *angelic wings* coming out of part of its back toward the front. The Aasimar opened her mouth again, and just as before nothing could immediately be heard; though after a few moments another echo of celestial harmonies could be heard. And at that point, the large angel-armadillo statue starting moving as if it was alive, and was soon hovering above the ground as Sings-With-Purpose hopped on and patted its back.

"Room for one more. Provided you don't weigh a ton, sorry Ore."

She did the finger-gun salute to Valeria. "Pretty neat, huh?"

As she did, a small magical musical note started to float over to Valeria, humming slightly as it started to orbit her.
----
[Performance of Creation: Sings creates a statue of an armadillo with a total GP value of 180GP. The statue is Large (assuming it can fit through the portal, otherwise she'd make it size-appropriate)]

[Animating Performance: The statue armadillo has a flying speed of 30ft and can carry 540 pounds. Aside from a bunch of other cool things it can do, anyone that starts their turn within 10ft of the statue has +10ft of movement that round. The statue has 60ft of darkvision, passive perception of 10, and is immune to Poison and Psychic Damage, and can't be Frightened, Exhausted, Charmed, Poisoned, or Frightened. It is also immune to any spell or effect that would alter its form.]

[Bardic inspiration to Valeria, granting her a Mote of Potential. I'll explain it on Discord to avoid text clutter here]
