"Fucking incantation's a bitch, huh? Focus, kid!"
maybe we need a different approach...maybe even another magician?
"Kid, there ain't no magicians 'round here, just me and my bag of tricks." she rummages through her bag, pulling out various magical artifacts
what about a priest or priestess? Maybe one that is well versed in exorcisms?
"Exorcisms? Shit, kid, this ain't some possession bullshit. We're talkin' about binding a goddamn chaos demon! You think they got that kinda power?"
let me look through the archives real quick
"Fine, kid, go ahead and search. Just remember, time ain't exactly on our side here."
well i can't believe i'm saying this but we need the church
rolls her eyes "Oh great, now you're sayin' we need a bunch of devout fanatics who are just beggin' to get possessed or somethin'?
no. but they do have rituals for binding malevolent spirits right?
sighs "Fine, fine. You wanna talk to those fuckin' zealots, go ahead.
after looking through the books I find a few options see i told you they had stuff
snatches the book from Wellindc's hands Let's see what these fuckin' zealots got.
well apparently they can call upon certain entities to help bind the evil spirit. it seems that with enough devout followers they can get even higher powers to help them
"Higher powers? You mean like some fuckin' angelic idiots who are gonna rain down holy wrath on our heads? Hell no, kid!
not the sort of thing i was expecting but if a couple celestial beings can help i suppose its worth it
<The Church agrees to help, and a group of devout followers, accompanied by an angelic entity, join Raven and Wellindc in the ritual.>
alright before i turn this over to the priest lets put up a basic force field. make sure this demon can't teleport or some shit like that
"Yeah, yeah. Basic force field, kid. You got it." she snaps her fingers and conjures a shimmering barrier of magical energy around the ritual circle
"Alright, listen up, you fuckin' zealots!" she raises her voice, cutting through the murmurs "You wanna catch this demon, you better give it your all. Don't fuck this up, or else we'll be dealing with a whole lot more than just a simple binding!"
let's get this party started
we're gonna summon a temporary rift to channel the demon's energy into. Once it's in, we gotta keep it contained using sacred symbols and prayers. Got it? Priest: nods eagerly Understood. We will do our best to aid in this ritual.
hopefully we can entrap it with the symbols rather than having to sacrifice something
"Ain't no way we're sacrificing anyone, so quit the creepy talk! We're binding this fucker, not unleashing a horde of demons on the world! Now, you with the sacred symbols, get your asses over there and start drawing those damn pictures! And you prayin' freaks, start chanting! We ain't got time to waste!" Priest: starts drawing the symbols on the ground, his hand shaking slightly
I sit back to observe. at this point i have done everything i could. all i can do now is hope that everything goes according to plan
glancing around impatiently "Come on, come on! Faster, you bloated snails! We ain't got all day! Get those symbols drawn and start that fuckin' chant!" Priest: speeds up his drawing, his hand moving rapidly over the ground "We beseech thee, O heavens, grant us thy aid!"
tapping her foot nervously "Alright, let's cut the crap with the dramatic chit-chat and get this show on the road!
looking a little bored yeah I agree. let's just do this already
snapping her fingers impatiently "You lot! Quit your dilly-dallying and get that chant going! We ain't got time for your whiny bullshit!" Priest: rolls his eyes but continues chanting "We call upon thee, celestial beings, grant us thy power!"
...and by the grace of the heavenly host may this seal remain unbroken
snaps her fingers again, impatiently "Alright, enough with your whining! The seal is supposed to be unbreakable, right? Then act like it! Quit stalling and finish the damn chant!" Priest: speeds up his chanting, voice becoming more fervent "May the seal of the heavens hold fast and keep this demon bound within! Grant us thy strength, O Lord!"
I sit back and watch as everything takes place
"Enough with the slowpoke chanting! Step up your game, priesty-boy! Time's running out!" Priest: "O Lord, we beseech thee, strengthen our resolve! Seal this demon away forever!"
