Ixion
From SCross
Greater Spirit of Speed and Lightning. Favors messengers and chocobos and any that truly devote their lives to fast movement, the Ixion is a powerful, and quick, Spirit. Requiring a quest that is truly depends on the needs of the Spirit at the time, when summoned to the scene, Ixion delivers a fierce bolt of lightning to crack down on opponents.
Before anyone can think to back with Ixion they must first catch up to him. He roams the plains of the Thunderplains, charging and running along normally at the head of a great herd of Horses or Unicorns. It is a risky business but anyone who enters the thunger plains with the intent of running and meeting Ixion is safe from the herds of monsters, so long as they suceed in catching up to him.
To track down Ixion a summoner needs to be able to prove they have what it takes to speak to them by tracking him down.. He could be anywhere within the realm, from up to an hour to over a day away from where the summoner first arrives in the Thunderplains.
A summoner needs to check these following rolls twice. The summoner needs at least 5 successes the first time around to locate the trail and at least 2 successes on the second set of rolls to follow the trail.
Perception+Alertness+Alertness/Searching

Perception+Survival+survival/plains
Once the summoner is within sight of Ixion they must then catch up to him, for when he sees them coming he will start to run, his test for only those who are physically fit and can handle the wild are worthy of his pact, summoners should expect to roll the following skills several times to catch up to him as he leads them on a run and assault course over the land.
Stamina+Athletics+Athletics/Running
Stamina+Athletics+Athletics/Jumping
Stamina+Athletics+Athletics/Climbing
Stamina+Athletics+Athletics/Swimming
Generally 4 successes are needed for each roll and if one can catch up to Ixion he will stop and speak with them. If a summoner fails or falls from the race. He must swiftly depart before the herd turns on him and tears him assunder, a summoner could stay and fight the herd but it is not advised and murdering those under his protection is a sure fire way to piss the lord Ixion off.
Anyone failing should theirfore retreat back into the Storm and from there they could try again after 24 hours. If they can find shelter or return to the void and try again another day.
