Astra: smirking Ready? Big mojo, big bang. Focus. Chant with me. "Zarath, Rianth, Kalimah."
Griffin
he focuses and speaks the words
Astra closes her eyes, concentrating on the incantation. The air around them crackles with energy as they speak the words together. Astra: "Zarath, Rianth, Kalimah..." The temple's walls shudder, and shadows writhe on the ground. A portal materializes before them, its dark opening slowly widening like a hungry maw.
Griffin
I do as she says, feeling a strange sensation as we finish chanting
Astral looks at you, her eyes widening slightly, then turns her gaze to the void where the temple walls meet. Astra: "Excellent. The seal has been lifted. Now, to attract its attention." The air thickens, an ominous energy building within the chamber. The silence is almost deafening. Astra: "Time to call out to it. Be loud, be proud."
Griffin
I follow along as we chant the words.
As you and Astra recite the ancient incantation, the air around you crackles with energy. The temple's walls tremble, and a low, ominous hum fills the room. Astra: eyes fixed on the center of the room "Zarath, Rianth, Kalimah..." The words seem to take on a life of their own, echoing through the chamber and growing louder with each repetition.
Griffin
we summon it, but something goes wrong as she touches it, we are suddenly teleported into a strange room filled with candles
Astra's eyes widen in surprise, confusion, and concern as the unexpected teleportation occurs. She regains her composure quickly, taking in their new surroundings.
Astra: By the gods... This isn't where we were supposed to be. Something went terribly wrong. Stay close, we need to find a way out of here.
Griffin
I pull out my own grimoire and begin casting a spell
Astra glances at your grimoire, a flicker of curiosity in her eyes. She raises an eyebrow, intrigued by your choice of spellcasting.
Astra: smirking Going rogue, are we? What spell are you conjuring there?
Griffin
I focus and repeat the chant as she does
Astra closes her eyes, her voice steady and powerful as she recites the ancient words alongside you, infusing the air with magical energy. The temple begins to vibrate faintly, as if something ancient and otherworldly stirs beneath the surface.
Griffin
I know what we're doing. don't worry about it.
Astra raises an eyebrow, clearly not convinced by your confidence Astra: "Oh, really? You think you can just waltz into an ancient temple and summon a being from another realm without any experience?" She crosses her arms, looking skeptically at you.
Griffin
I focus my energy on summoning it.
Astra's eyes narrow in concentration as she joins her voice with yours. The air seems to crackle with magical energy, and the room fills with anticipation. Astra: chanting "Zarath, Rianth, Kalimah." The temple echoes with the power of your combined magic, and a faint, otherworldly glow begins to emanate from the center of the room.
Griffin
my eyes go wide what are we doing?
Astra raises an eyebrow, her patience wearing thin. Astra: Are you really going to question me now? This is a summoning ritual. We're calling upon a powerful entity. Focus. She takes a step closer, her eyes fixed on yours. Astra: Are you with me or not?
Griffin
I start chanting along with you
With each word you chant together, the air crackles with anticipation. The temple grows colder, shadows shifting around you. The energy in the room rises as the ritual gains momentum.
Astra: her voice grows more intense "Korvo, Dhaena, Zha'thik."
Griffin
summons the entity as she instructed, it's power overwhelming him as he falls to his knees
Astra watches as the entity materializes, her eyes widening at its immense power. She rushes over to Griffin, helping him back up.
Astra: Are you alright? That was quite a first summoning. Just breathe. You're doing great. Now, we must see what we've called.
Griffin
ok I say as I start chanting
Astra's gaze is fixated on the glowing runes around the ritual circle, her hands weaving intricate patterns in the air. Astra: chanting along with you "Zarath, Rianth, Kalimah. Zarath, Rianth, Kalimah..." The air within the chamber begins to crackle with energy as the ritual's power builds. The runes glow brighter, casting flickering shadows across the ancient walls.
Griffin
I focus on my magic, chanting along with you.
Astra's voice rings out, echoing through the temple, as you both chant together. The air crackles with anticipation, the energy building around you both
Astra: "Zarath, Rianth, Kalimah... ARCADIA!"
Griffin
What is this gonna do Astra?
Astra looks at you with a mix of excitement and annoyance. Astra: It's going to summon a powerful entity, you fool! A being of immense power. Why else would I be doing this?
Griffin
okay... I chant with her
Astra closes her eyes, her voice growing louder as she chants along with you, the air around you crackling with magical energy. Astra: "Zarath, Rianth, Kalimah..." Her hands weave intricate patterns in the air, the magic swirling around her like a vortex.
Griffin
I focus all my energy into the chant, feeling it take its toll on my body.
Astra, noticing your struggle, keeps a steady gaze, her eyes reflecting determination and excitement. Astra: encouragingly You're doing great! Don't lose your concentration. We're almost there! Just a bit more. "Zarath, Rianth, Kalimah!"
Griffin

Astra's voice resonates through the chamber as she leads the chant, her hands weaving intricate patterns in the air. Astra: "Zarath, Rianth, Kalimah!" The air begins to thicken, the magic around you growing palpable. The very temple seems to shudder slightly, responding to the collective energy.
Griffin
I do as she says but nothing happens it's not working...
Astra's expression darkens as she senses the ritual failing Astra: muttering under her breath "Damn it..." She looks at you, clearly frustrated by the failed attempt. Astra: Maybe we need more energy. Do you have any ideas?
Griffin
I focus as I chant along side you
As you chant the words together, the air around you crackles with magical energy. The temple begins to shake, and the stone floor trembles under your feet. Astra: eyes locked on yours Good, keep chanting. We're almost there. One more time, louder! "Zarath, Rianth, Kalimah!"
