Total: 2 Effects: 1 [1d60.1+1d60.4+1d60.5 = 10]
There is a loud "twang" and an arrow flies out of the darkness and strikes Democles' upraised hand, knocking the knife out of his hand before he can stab Cilissa.
Rhotinia gets slightly aroused at such an excellent display of archery
Tilpi's horse then vaults over the waist high iron fence and comes to a skidding halt behind Rhotinia and Volmalric. Sophie says something that sounds highly complimentary, but it ends with "ouch" as she falls off the horse.
Rhotinia: Well I have to say Democlese had me completely fooled...
Rhotinia draws her bow and unleashes a volley
Volmalric: How in Mitra's name did you get Cilissa here before us?

Rhotinia's arrows pin Democles' left knee to the ground, you are not sure how much skin you punctured, but his pant leg is definitely not going anywhere.

Volmalric: Back away from them, Democles. Whatever you were going to try has failed now. You should be aware that this is a good ending compared to what happens if you go farther. Because if you try, you will not win.

Democles laughs.
Democles: You assume, foolish man, that winning is what I care about.
Democles pulls the arrows out of his leg and drives them into Cilissa's back.
Democles stands up.
Cilissa grunts in pain.
Volmalric: What you care about is how you win, you fool. You don't have a leg to stand on.
Democles: rolls a test:

Democles bull rushes Bridgit and sends both of them smashing into the door of the mausoleum she is in front of. There is a loud crack noise, and then it looks like the door turns into a jelly-like substance that sucks both of them in.
Democles laughs maniacally as he gets pulled through the portal.
Sophie rolls over and begins crawling towards the door.
Rhotinia: I hope this doesn't ruin my robes...
Sophie: No one drags my sister into an abyssal realm except me!
Rhotinia hops off her horse and runs to the door, attempting to push through it
Tilpi is filled joy at this display of sisterly love.

Volmalric kneels down to check out Cilissa, seeing if she's okay
Volmalric: How on earth did you get here so quickly?
Volmalric: You can't even move
Sophie is still crawling towards the door.
Volmalric: Sophie, stop that, can you look after Cilissa, or are you going to try to kill her?
Tilpi used a Fortune point to add a Natural 1 to their dice pool
Volmalric: Tilpi, here, take these with you
Tilpi: Tilpi rolls a Discipline test:
Target: 8 Focus: 0 Difficulty: 1 Complications: 1 Successes: 2 Momentum: 1 [1d20.19+1d20.5 = 24]

Volmalric holds up a bag with several vials within
Volmalric: In case I don't make it in
Tilpi dramatically reaches for the bag.
Tilpi dives in through the door, carrying a bag of "unexplained but nicely labeled" bottles.
Tilpi Tilpi assumes this is medicine for Brigit.
Tilpi Thanks for the medicine......(voice fades)
[ROUND 1]
[ROUND 2]
Rhotinia and Tilpi find themselves on a wide plateau of dark stone and what looks like blasted and petrified trees. There is a large volcano rising in the distance, belching black smoke that has blotted out whatever sunlight would exist here. Scattered bones project at odd angles from the ground, bleached white, providing constrast to the grayscale existence you find yourselves in.

You spot Democles and Bridgit ahead of you by a few dozen yards. Bridgit is cowering on the ground covering her head while Democles kicks her repeatedly.
Rhotinia: "Sail to Messantia Rhotinia, you're sure to find a buyer there. Aquilonians don't appreciate quality..." Some business trip this has been
Volmalric bristles for a moment, looking around and wondering why
Rhotinia: Democlese, I don't know when you grew a spine, but you had better sit the fuck down and explain yourself or so help me god, I will rip it out of your throat and beat you to death with it
Rhotinia used a Fortune point to add a Natural 1 to their dice pool
Tilpi: Surely you've found more here than an easy profit?
Rhotinia: Rhotinia rolls a Persuade test:
Target: 15 Focus: 3 Difficulty: 1 Complications: 0 Successes: 4 Momentum: 3 [1d20.11+1d20.7 = 18]

Sophie: I might poke her with my fingers, but I'm not really in much condition to kill her, and I have come to accept that if I do, my wimpy, doe-eyed sister would suffer way too much.
Democles: rolls a test:

Volmalric moves Cilissa and Sophie away from the front of the door, putting them out of sight of the entrance.

Volmalric: Excellent!
Democles stops kicking Bridgit and turns to face Rhotinia and Tilpi.
Democles: The scholar? He had no spine, ever. But he was eager to accept a bargain for one.
Democles: However, since we have not yet met each other in person, but I smell the reek of Meltam on you, I feel it is only appropriate to introduce myself. I am Thumocris, warlord-sorcerer of Acheron and ruler of the Pictish Lands.
Rhotinia: I barely knew Meltam, and I've never heard of you. But why don't you leave Democles to his cowardly, kindly, old-man ways and go back to whatever hell you came from
Tilpi: Democles was a gentle and innocent soul! Relinquish your hold and leave him in peace!
Democles: Oh sure, as soon as I make sure Rhiveth can never thwart my plans again, go finish my simulacrum, and reanimate myself into immortal form, I shall be happy to return Democles to his normal state. It shouldn't take more than a day or two, unless you insist on trying to stop me.
Rhotinia: Yeah that isn't going to work us, how about you crawl back to whatever dimension you normally live in and we take Democlese and the girl
Democles: I am disinclined to acquiesce to your request.
Democles: rolls a test:
Target: 18 Focus: 1 Difficulty: 1 Complications: 0 Successes: 4 Momentum: 3 [1d20.10+1d20.19+1d20.2+1d20.4+1d20.8 = 43]

Volmalric: Hey, Sophie, do you know how Cilissa even got here?
Volmalric manages to get Cilissa to the point where he feels comfortable leaving her alone in her sedated state.
Volmalric: Wasn't she supposed to be with you and Tilpi?
Rhotinia: Tilpi, the book... I don't know what this world is, but Rhiveth may be able to get here if you can figure that thing out
Tilpi: Hrm. I will trade you an heirloom Lemurian Comb used by a princess, and the blood of an immortal of Stygia for Democles.
Tilpi: Tilpi rolls a Counsel test:
Target: 13 Focus: 4 Difficulty: 1 Complications: 0 Successes: 0 Momentum: 0 [2d20.14 = 28]
You did not succeed.
Sophie: Well, when the Acheronian sorcerer mind controlled Democles and possessed his body, he created a multisensory illusion of Cilissa to make you all thnk she was still there. Then he left with her. I mean, I'm always surprised when you humans cannot pick up on those things. I did not say anything because it was kind of obvious and I was happy to have her out of the room. But sure, the next thing I know you will tell me you cannot see infrared and ultraviolet spectrum wavelengths, or generate small electric shocks with your hands by rubbing your fingers together. Seriously man, how is your species even capable of functioning? This is like when Bridgit finally realized you cannot breathe underwater.
Volmalric: So what you're telling me is that you're slow to learn, got it
Sophie: Immortality does remove time pressure from stock investing, that's for sure.
Sophie: 100 year bonds seem pretty short term.
Sophie laughs at her joke.
Volmalric: Alright, I think I've got Cilissa patched up here. She'll probably be out for a while, but take care of her while we're gone. We'll be back as soon as we can.
Democles: I would be curious where you would find such things, Hyrkanian.
Sophie giggles.
Sophie: Okay, bye bye!

Target: 15 Focus: 3 Difficulty: 1 Complications: 0 Successes: 0 Momentum: 0 [1d20.16+2d20.17 = 50]

Tilpi: Right here. You let him go, I throw it to you.
Democles: How about my skeletal warriors just kill you and bring them over to me?
Tilpi: You'd need an army to take us on, not just that skeleton crew
Democles bends down and picks Bridgit up by the neck.
Democles: Come now, I still need your physical form in some way to get through the portal.
Democles walks away from the combat while the skeletons close in on the group.

Volmalric lands in a heap
Volmalric: Oof
Volmalric: This is...not a quality demiplane
Volmalric looks around the area, taking in the scenery
Tack (Tilpi): See, the first thing you should say upon reaching this graveyard is, 'yep, were' boned'
Democles: Rhotinia, I would sooner destroy a stain-glass window than a masterful conversationalist such as yourself, but since I can't have you disrupting my plans, I shall merely have to detain you. Forcibly.
Rhotinia: You're welcome to try
Rhotinia: You aren't the first, and you won't be the last
Democles: If you insist.
