Emily: ask if the RAs are able to translate the glyphs above the symbols

Emily: Can either of you realm attendants read the strange markings on the wall?
DT: Sure.
Kalem: Yeah.
Emily: What does it say?
Kalem: It's the Old Tongue. I don't speak it well anymore though.
DT: Haha! I still got it. I$% S%^%s L&^e T7##!
Kalem: Wow...
Kalem: It's been so long since I've heard Old Tongue.
Alice: What did you say, DT??
DT: I said "It sounds like this!"
DT: The Old Tongue is understood by all realm attendants.
DT: One day... Our bright light knight will tune in on it as well.
DT: The dawn aspect allows you to comprehend Old Tongue.
Lucas: .... Come to think of it...
Lucas: What you said sounded strangely like English. But it was like a dialect, I couldn't understand what you meant.
DT: Ooooh! You're tuning in already.
DT: Normal people will hear it as a muffled mumbling sound.
DT: One day I'll practice speaking with you, get you learning Old Tongue! >wo
Lucas: So what do the words say?
DT: Oh, right.
DT: Old tongue blends meaning so written form can be interpreted in different ways simultaneously.
DT: What I'm reading at the top is... Protection/Sealing gate/portal. On the keyhole it says... Keyhole/release ritual. Above your symbols it says... Messenger/second, Priestess/first, Advisor/third.
Emily: Protection and sealing? Which is it?
DT: It's both.
DT: Old tongue is very weird... Sometimes even I don't understand it.

>Head back to the house for now.

>Lexii: Explore futher up the stairs. Maybe there's something cool to be found?

>Emily: Explain to the RA's that at least knowing what this device is supposed to prevent would make things easier to explain if the disaster shows up.

>Lexii: Explore futher up the stairs. Maybe there's something cool to be found?

i'll second this.

Lexii: Explore further up the stairs. Maybe there's something cool to be found?

Lexii: Hmm.. Let's keep going. Maybe something interesting is at the top of the stairs?
Garreth: Unlikely, your house is at the top. We can just head back down.
Garreth: It's... also quite slippery. Don't want to hurt yourself.
Lexii: Hehe... yeah.
Vanity: ... Children....
Alice:..?
Alice:You guy's hear something?

It's Vanity!

Lucas: Oh, you saved us the trouble, we are looking for you.
Vanity: ......
Vanity: I'm going to kill all of you.

Uh oh, Vanity isn't happy to see you all. Better think of something.

>Raziel: this-is-sparta kick this thot down the waterfall

>Realm Attendant scan x2.

>Emily: get closely behind Lucas and try to block her if she moves to attack you.
>Azriel: buff up the allies. 
>Lexxi: try to position your self directly behind Lucas and a little to the right. Try to slash her with your whip when she moves to attack.
>Alice and Dt: try to alter her vision and make her take the shots dead on make sure to stay in the rear. 
>Razriel: slash at her from a side were you are not in the way
>Lucas: when you are near slash at her with your sword. 
>Hermes: activate fight mode during this time and attack
>Garry: do any attack you can do at a distance without hitting anyone. 
> tinkerskull: heal anyone hurt by the end of this 
>piper:heal anyone hurt by the end of this 

>Lucas: Call Vanity's bluff. She's too cowardly to attack a group

>Lucas: Call Vanity's bluff. She's too cowardly to attack a group

Seconding. Let's see Lucas roast vanity in front of everyone

Realm Attendant scan x2




Everyone gets on edge as Kalem and DT take a look at Vanity's stats.

Show ChatlogShow

Lucas: How we looking?
Kalem: Vanity is... Strong.
Lucas: But we have the numbers!
DT: She's hostile, and has no love for us.
DT: Seems she's insecure about her looks and she's lonely. Might help us... Might hurt us.
Alice: You're the one bugging my brother, right?
Alice: Raziel, show her the way out.
Vanity: ....

Raziel: this-is-sparta kick this thot down the waterfall



Raziel attempts to kick Vanity... But it doesn't connect?? Vanity retaliates with a decapitation. Sudden Death.

Alice: R... Raziel?!
Alice: NO!
Lexii: !!
DT: No way... Raziel is faster.
DT: That.. Can't be.

Show ChatlogShow

Vanity: One down... ten more to go.
Vanity: Who wants to die next?

Raziel's strike should have kicked vanity right into the lake, what can you do?

>Lucas: So vanity is lonely huh? That's no suprise if she goes around trying to kill everyone she meets.
>Azriel: Be ready to defend Lucas.
>Garreth: Any insights on how to prevent this sudden death?

>Lucas: So vanity is lonely huh? That's no suprise if she goes around trying to kill everyone she meets.

seconding

>Alice: my little kitten this girl regarding her looks. Whatever is under her mask is....suppurating.

Lucas: So vanity is lonely huh? That's no surprise if she goes around trying to kill everyone she meets. Azriel: Be ready to defend Lucas. Garreth: Any insights on how to prevent this sudden death?

Garreth: (Observers. Her attacks only kill instantly because she's much stronger than us, we'd need better armour.)
Lucas: Tired of wandering around in the dark friendless? No wonder you keep following us.
Vanity: ....
Vanity: Shut up. I don't need you. Or anyone.
Vanity: I can make my own friends.
Vanity: Like her, right over there.
Lucas: I don't see anyone, stop lying.
Vanity: ....!!
Vanity: I am so... tired of you...
Vanity: All you do... is talk GARBAGE!

Vanity attacks Lucas, but Azriel defends him with Wraith Ward! Blocked.

Show ChatlogShow

Vanity: I WILL KILL ALL YOUR FRIENDS!
Vanity: And then you'll be just. Like. Me.
Lucas: We'll see about that.

Vanity attacks Piper and Emily from behind! Emily takes 200 damage which is boosted to 300 from back-attack 1.5 multiplier, however she only receives 150 while the rest is given as hp to her team! Everyone appears to be fully healed. Piper is split open like an avocado. Sudden Death.

Lexii: Oh shit, she's behind you Em--!!
Piper: AAAHH!!
Emily: P-piper?!

Show ChatlogShow

Emily: N-no... Piper...
Vanity: Hehehe!!
Vanity: Two down, nine more lives to snuff out.
Vanity: Who's next? I can do this all day.
Lucas: What just happened?
Alice: There's two of her now, GREAT.
Lexii: Which one is the real version??

>Hermes: Stun her with music.
>Everyone else: Run back to the forts.

>Garry: shield against real vanity
>lucas: see to it the fake one doesn't jump them
>Hermes stun the Vanities with sound
>The rest: leave the area

>Alice: New plan: make fake versions of everyone so you can escape, also say something about how she has no one in the world who cares about her.

>Emily: Alice is making something to allow everyone to escape, since you are the fastest one make sure she doesn't stay behind

>Lucas: She's lying to you, and that's obvious enough. Remember your revelation to yourself, and be something bright enough to burn away all that would conceal themselves(Also, if Dawn powers let you see what's actually under Vanity's mask, tell her she doesn't need to hide herself).

>Lexii: Vanity has moved away from the door. Perhaps stun her with music, but otherwise, evacuate the party.

Hermes: Stun her with music. Everyone else: Run back to the forts



Hermes plays some sick beats on blast to cripple Vanity!

Hermes: BZZZZZZZZRT WUB WUB WUBUBUBUBUBUBUB!!!
Hermes: DANANANA WHERR WUBBBBBB BRRRRT BRRRRRRT BRRRRRRRRTTT!!!
Hermes:  BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ WHAAAP WUB
WUB WUBUBUBU BUUU BAAABB!!!
Hermes: BZZTTT WHAAAAAAAAAAAA WHERRR WUUBBBB!!!
Vanity: AHHHHHHH!!!!
Lexii: C'mon guys let's beat it!

You all successfully escaped the encounter with Vanity.

Lucas: One, two... three...
Lucas: Yup, we're all here. No one got lost or tripped.
Lexii: What the heck do we do about her??
DT: I think our in-house instigator pissed her off a little too much.
Lucas: What can I say?
Garreth: Perhaps we can talk about inside.
Lucas: Good idea, dude.

Show ChatlogShow

Lexii: Phew...
Alice: How do I get Raziel back, DT?
Emily: And Piper, Kalem?
DT: Oh that's easy. In a little moment they will tap you on the shoulder like they never left.
Kalem: Just sit tight you two.
Emily: I was really scared... I thought she was gone for good... And so easily...
Kalem: Take that as a reality check, don't get comfortable at the low echelons of your training.
Mephita: ... Uhm. Hello there.
Alice: Oh, who's this?
Emily: Mephita, you look well.
Mephita: Thanks, uhm... Blue.
Mephita: I mean, Emily! Yes, I remembered.
Mephita: I was up and about and decided to poke my head in this room.
Mephita: Still no sign of mother I'm afraid...

That was a close call, but Vanity will return again when you least expect it. Keep your eyes peeled and your wits sharp.

>Emily: Assure her that wherever her mom is, she misses you and you will always have friends here.

Mephita! of course, she's the answer!

> Everyone: after you're done talking with her, go make use of the supply of mephium, maybe make some bombs and missiles in order to defeat vanity

Not sure bombs are the best idea. Could run into friendly fire issues.

If there's nothing else happening with mephita,

>Everyone: Now that you're safe, discuss what you learned in the fight.
>DT: Give Lucas some feedback on how he's approaching Vanity.
