Chaldean Chronicles: Cadence of the Lostgrail

is indeed here

Make a post reciting the ehcnatment. Then roll Charisma with disadvantage.

after he realised his comrades haven’t returned from the hut, he did realise that they might-, … never, … come back, … so with that he decided that even if alone, he will go back and try determine if anything happened to them, hope they weren’t dumb enough to disturb the witch

Vlad Țepeș makes a Charisma Save!

2d20kl1 (12, 16) + 10 = 22

coughing in his fist he would recite the god old enchant he remembers from his last encounter with her, as he would start unafraid “Hut, Ol' hut, Turn your back to the forest. Hut, Ol' hut, Turn your face to me."

Vlad III sees himself in a cold room illuminated by a pale blue light similar to the light of the moon. In the room he can see three other figures. Jiang Ziya. Koyanskaya of Light. Mordred Pendragon. And coming from the corridor at the other side of the room came two strong presences. One was the familiar presence of the old witch.... The other... Was a much more powerful, chill giving one. "Vlad Tepes, you have come back to us right at the best moment. Witness y'all for this is a once in a life time opportunity... I present to you.... A legitimate, true Divine Spirit who presides over Death, summoned as a Servant." Baba Yaga speaks formally, stepping aside with difficult and stubborn steps aided by her pestke to reveal the gingerly figure behind her.

She had no idea of what was happening there. But the moment she opened her eyes she recognized the inner world of the old hut in the edge of the woods. She would follow the witch without speaking a single word. Quietoy and steady, a noble air kept to herself as the Damsel of the Harvest walks forward into a much brighter room. As she walks in comes her precious winter. The already cold temperature falls. Her curious eyes scan the presence of those in the room. "I... Hello? My name is Morana. My Class is Sa-- Hm... Just... Just call me Morana. What... What do you want from me? Are you in need of crops?"

many things he has seen in his long life, even after his great age of barely 30’s he lived to he continued on as a heroic spirit, able witness things more-, … terrifying, then he once thought were possible in his life. Afterall, in some nights, … he’s very much reminded there’s more dreadful things lurking behind the curtain of unknowledge, but he continue, stepping forward, his chest not loosening it’s forward march as he with a resolute look on his face explains “I have seen that our friends haven’t come back, I was worried for a moment they might have done something to displease you, I assume this presence I feel is probably either a result of their negotiations, … or their behaviour” he answered as he stepped closer to the shadows and in line to see this new servant arriving he would nod his head in welcome “Vlad, pleased to meet you Morana” he says as he’s literally 3 inches in front of everyone, ready to protect them if anything was to happen, and throw himself in front of any attack. Not that they don’t probably deserve it for messing with the witch, but he can’t idly let them be damaged

She had no idea of what was happening there. But the moment she opened her eyes she recognized the inner world of the old hut in the edge of the woods. She would follow the witch without speaking a single word. Quietoy and steady, a noble air kept to herself as the Damsel of the Harvest walks forward into a much brighter room. As she walks in comes her precious winter. The already cold temperature falls. Her curious eyes scan the presence of those in the room. "I... Hello? My name is Morana. My Class is Sa-- Hm... Just... Just call me Morana. What... What do you want from me? Are you in need of crops?" attachment

@The Damsel In the Black Water (@Berry|Rav|Jes|Ushi|Yuyu) - jump "A pleasure in meeting you, Miss Morana. My name is Jiang Ziya, my true name is Taigong Wang, class, Rider. I am sorry, but it is not your Authority on the Harvest the reason why we call for your assistance today." Taigong said with courtesy as he gave her a bow. Though she wasn't one of his deities, if she were to assist him, he would accept her with all of his being. Besides, otherwise his sacrifice would be meaningless. "But rather, we ask you come to our assistance to instead, bring the meaning of Death to those that dare evade you and it. Are you perhaps aware of he that calls himself, the Deathless?"

<sorry, was a bit afk! Let me read>

She rushes across the room. She grabs Rider by gis shoulders. And with surprising physical strength for her delicate-looking build... She shakes him violently back and fort. "KOSCHEI!? WHERE!? WHERE IS MY KOSCHEI!? TELL ME! I NEED TO KNOW!" She shouts to him with a much more robust tone of voice and a rosey blush in her cold pale face. "WHERE IS MY KOSCHEI, MR. RIDER!? TELL ME, PLEASE!"

The vixen can't help but laugh at the scene, where the beautiful and mystical goddess suddenly grabs the duke and begins shaking him like a ragdoll. "Fufu, my, my." Guess even death can't truly do them part. "We had an... encounter with him. But I'm sure Mr. Rider would be much helpful on that matter."

seeing as Rider was attacked, her would be surprised by the quicks of the woman, failing to jump in front, but, she seems, … to be, inoffensive-, … coming a step to touch her shoulder and tell her “He’s not a going to respond faster if you shake him, more confused then anything. I am here to help you guys with whatever is needed. But take it easy for now”

In his many years, he had faced many ferocious enemies. Master of the Taoist arts, each more ruthless than the last. People whose skill with the arts of war and turning men into ghosts were truly terrifying, against which victory was not always assured, who possessed many secret arts and in some ocassion almost had the upper hand against him. Yet, with his wits and the strength of his allies, he had defeated each and every single one of them. In his life, he went through a lot of hardships. However, this is NOT something he was prepared for. Even as a Servant, this kind of thing isn't the stuff he's meant to deal with "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! Miss, I'll be glad to help and I appreciate your enthusiasm, but please I beg of you, stop shaking me like that and I'll tell you where I think he is!"

A sigh was given. In a isntant the group was sitting around a table. Christopher had also been called to join them, casually eating a orange cake and drinking a glass of fine wine. "Well, I will let you all talk. You have a lot of information to exchange."

The ancient Death Goddess was ferociously and happily cutting and devouring the orange cake with large pieces and a bright red face brought by her wine. Surprisingly... She was quite the eater. "Well... Nom Of course I know nom, my Koschei gloob. He is my nom beloved husband." The Goddess explains with the behavior expected of a teenage girl having her first crush. "There is no one that I love more than my Koschei!" The explanation was given in a complete.random scenario!

@Thunder - LS | ED | DO | HT @Sky_ | [NPC] | Sal [9] Walp [14] @[unintelligible sub noises]

“Ahem, … as much as it is rude, … I suppose there’s some information I’m missing, … as it was also the reason I was kicked out initially. Yet- who’s this-, … Koschei?”

Koyanskaya sighs, and pulls Vlad close to explain. "Long story short, he's an enemy of Chaldea who is immortal and we're trying to find the needle that kills him. Oh, and he kidnapped Ciel before." She mutters to him. (edited)

A loud and screeching noise cuts the room. The knife in the Goddess' hands has pierced the cake, plate and table. She heard the whisper. And was somehow in a shock-like state. Her happy expression disappeared from her face. "Immortal?" Her voice asks trembly with a supernatural, ancestral weight in it. Thousands of years of pain put into words. "Ah... It must be... That Noble Phantasm..."

“, …” just, … wow, … so we are suppose to like, … make use of a girl who loves a man we want to kill?, … damn, this mission is going to be ruthless ”Understood”

10:51 PM

“Immortality isn’t uncommon, after all, everyone has conceptual immortality as a servant. As long as nothing happens to us and remain in the throne of heroes we can’t die. Question is, … does it bother you as I see in your reaction? Wouldn’t you like your beloved to be immortal? Never to know death?”

The Death Goddess stares at Vlad with a extremely comical face, as if he just grew a beard made of carrots.

guess humour actually doesn’t work in this house ffs

10:54 PM

it’s the fourth time it happened Atalantecry

While she intended for the others not to listen, it is what it is. Taking advantage of the sudden personality shift, she adjusted herself in her seat and looked at the Goddess. But not before 'accidentally' smacking Vlad at her side. "Oh, sorry— My hand slipped, my BS radar must've reacted to something~" With that belittling, condescending tone of hers towards Vlad, she turns back to Morana with a more serious tone. "Lady Morana, it was him who revealed to you the secret of his longevity, was it not? His manifestation once again holds that Noble Phantasm. We've sought a hearing with you to find the needle that he once owned."

Mordred would be completely silent in the back. Almost the entirety of this mission so far, the Black Knight shared little to no words in each encounter thus far. Her thoughts kept to herself. Only to speak when directly spoken to. But being in a place where witchcraft was present, she had to resist the urge to start using her blade. It's been like that since their first meeting with the Baba Yaga.

ahem “I-“ *smack, giving Koyan a side look as he was just hit by the fox, giving her a look of ‘really’ before repeating* “Ow, … yes, I’m apologise it was miss placed sarcastic comment” he closes his eye for a moment before he inhales and coughs again (edited)

Taigong took a moment to recover from the shaking, aghast to such a reaction, especially coming from a deity of Death, usually a gloomy subject across the world. Maybe this is what Baba Yaga meant when she said he had to give up his peace? "Ahem... As Miss Koyanchihuahua said, we are looking for the needle. He has been giving us... his fair share of trouble in the Italian border, and that's why we're after him. I believe he must be around here, traveling over the west of Europe maybe?"

Koyan makes a surprised reaction, but it quickly turns into a frown. Really? Even in this reality, the nickname follows her!? Come on! "Ahem, yes... That's pretty much the situation, Lady Morana."

Crystaline tears start rolling down her white cheeks. The goddes let go of her fork and knife with a miserable silence. "There... Aren't many Slavic Gods responsible for Death, you know." She would say with a quivering tone of voice. "There is Veles, responsible for everything that is below the surface, but his domain is mostly the Sea. And Czernobog, who is often busy with his brother... Khors and Dazbog rarely stopped by the Underworld. And I am only called upon by mortals during harsh winter..." The Goddess makes a pause, trembling in silence as she contains a pathetic whimper within her throat. "I... For a long time was alone. I was kept as a trophy. 'Death is the most beautoful of Goddesses' they said to themselves. But I was never welcome in anyone's house. And then he took me out of the Underworld. He fought the Gods for me, he gave me everythig he could to conquer my love..." The woman detailed. "He befell the Sun himself. He gave up his freedom, his pride. But I could not give him my love, I was forced to watch him self-destruct, suffering for a eternity while looking for a forever distant reward... If Koschei has that Noble Phantasm, if he is Deathless again... I will do my best to help.... Please, free my Koschei. I will do anything it takes... The only thing I ask is that you don't hurt him more than necessary."

@Thunder - LS | ED | DO | HT @Sky_ | [NPC] | Sal [9] Walp [14] @ArbyOrNotToBe @[unintelligible sub noises]

"Rest assured, Lady Morana, that I will grant him the rest he deserves, not as a Servant of Chaldea, but as the one that enforces the Investitute of the Gods. Consider it already done." After all, he saw this not as a personal matter, but one of professionalism. He would respect her wishes.

ah for fuck sake, … if only he would be paralysed by this he would have a forced smile in shock of what to say, yet he doesn’t, he understands how it feels, after all, he himself can’t be close to anyone either seeing as to what his phantasm made him be. It’s for the safety of everyone after all he decides to walk alone all this time, in a way, he pities her as much as he does to himself “I can see this, I want to help as well Miss Morana. I too wish for it to be as necessary as possible without complications, in a way, I can understand you. Maybe not your exact experience, and I want you to see resolve if you know you have one, everyone needs one. And I’m sure everything will find it’s way just in the right place” he says not wanting to disturb her but needing her to see light (ironically with the members present) before trying to do anything “Is there anything else you wish to ask of us?”

Koyanskaya quietly listened. She nods. "Just like the others have said, consider it done."

A nod would only be the response from the knight.

The Goddess immediately throw her left leg over the right one, correcting her weak posture and completely changing into a crueller, colder persona as soon as the deal is confirmed. She tpok andeep breath as if to clear her thoughts and use a nearby paper to clear the tears off her face. "To business then. Have in mind... The reason Baba Yaga likely chose to summon me instead of some better tool like that fool, Ivan would be... This, my Noble Phantasm and personal guardian given to me by the Gods!" Morana pulls her hair behind her ear. "Yoohoo, Chudo, Yudo... Wake up~!" In her elft ear was a silver earring, a small circle with a three-headed serpent hanging from it. Hm? Milady? Where are we? Everything has Mama's smell here... Oh, true! Is Mama around? "Your mother has just left the room, but we are still in her house." A loud sneeze can be heard echoing through the corridors. The Goddess would focus her attention to the others again. "Chudo-Yudo is one of my Noble Phsntasms... After Perun took me back to the Underworld he put Chudo-Yudo to guard Kalishnov, the bridge that leads to it. They are quite.mischievous but there is nobody who can smell treasure better than them."

“So they can track our needle. Seems useful enough.” putting his hand to his chin he gives a hmm for a second trying to see if he has anything else in mind to ask before coming short “I seem to fall short in any questions I would have, maybe that’s why I wasn’t meant to be here initially, but if anyone else doesn’t have questions I think we can soon start our journey”

cough cough Interact with the fucking NPC cough cough

Vlad Țepeș makes an Insight check!

Needle? Uncle is around? Can't the Lady sniff him out from kilometers apart all by herself alrea- Ouch! The Goddess hits the earring with one of her fingers as if to make them shut up. "An important thing we need to have in mind." The Goddess says as she retrieve her fork and knife.and go on cutting her orange cake. "Is that the needle must be handled with extreme care. What is inside of it is more valuable than the highest caliber of Divime Constructs."

"Hm? Could you elaborate more precisely?" He was really curious on what she meant, since it would could throw a wretch in their plans if not accounted for.

She doesn't seem to be lying.

"We are aware that it contains Koschei's Concept of Death, but does it have something else we have not thought of?"

She would stare at Koyanskaya with a raised eyebrow. "You didn't tell them...? Hm... No that is not the case. You are too young to know, you are almost a baby..." The Goddess says as she takes a piece of cake to her mouth. "We, the Slavic Gods, are the oldest Gods to be worshipped by humans. Idols sculped kut of wood for Leshy were found much before the descent of the White Titan. We have the oldest icon ever built by humans, you know?" The answer seemed out of context and contrieved. "But while we had bodies, we did not have names. So when the White Titan.destrkyed our bodies, most of us entered a state of hibernation. Some of us joined humans into crossing the Straight of Bering in Siberia and escaped to North America." She went on. "But the greater majoriry simply could not stay awake. Without a name nor a body, a God is nothing. We only would wake up at the early 800 AD. That was at that time that we started to receive names, a great contribution to it was given by the God of Israel brought by the Christians but slme of us like me and Dazbog were named by the people themselves, awakening us from our slumber... But we didn't have any time to lose. It was a short period of time, the Age of Gods was already at its end at that point." Another pause. "We felt indebted with the people of this land so we tried our best to retribute them but for that we had the necessity to stay. So we started produxing terminals, Aspects, rhe same as an Avatar or Bunrei." Morana explains. "Perun created Ilya Muromets and eternalized his feats in histiry and legend as a great warrior saint, I created Maria Morevna... Dazbog created Vladimir who brought Christianity, giving our people a more stable God to worship... And Czernobog created a nameless slave-sodier who was gifted by his lord with a great fortune so he could stusy a way to get rid of death."

"Koschei managed to do so. He eternalized his body while permanently putting Czernobog's Divine Core into cryosgenic sleep within the needle. In other words... Koschei's 'death' is not merely something as simple as hidden lines of death or a separated soul... What is inside of thst needme is the Black God who curses all of creation with his mere existence." Morana continues. "Absolute care must be put into the handling of the needle. A mere scratch caused by it would be the same as injecting the embodiment of death directly into someone's veins. It would be deadly to anyone else other than the proper Aspect thst once contained it within his body."
