[Recap]<br><br>
From Z'leyra: [Re:
Actions]<br>
"Okay"
Z;leyra says, "Those who can sense magic will...<br><br>
Note: Z'leyra is
EL0 in dispel/banish Law, NOT EL10. So<br>
low, not
expert.<br>
GM: Ack. A simple plan I'll do
a more detailed one below<br>
for
approval if I were leader. Since this generic one<br>
doesn't help handle the rolls.<br><br>
From Arawn: [Re: Actions]<br>
"Do not
forget the power of the True Tongues, Supernatural...<br><br>
--------<br>
OOC:
Before I post Arawn's Dispel abilities and relative<br>
strength, how are
strength levels (Low, Decent, Journeyman,<br>
Expert, and such)
being determined?<br>
GM: Ack. Yeah no need to
post ELs per se if don't want to do<br>
a
relative 0-20 system can be figured out regardless.<br><br>
From Arawn: [Re: Abysmal]<br>
"Miscast
magic?," Arawn queried, addressing Z'leyra. ...<br><br>
[
OOC: Scott, I can't recall if Arawn has access to
his<br>
crystal
chalice right now but if he doesn't he'll ask the<br>
party
members if they have one available or else attempt to<br>
craft one
using the Cyrx. - He slipped his pack loose,<br>
digging
around before procuring a crystal chalice (or create<br>
one with the
Cryx if he or another party member doesn't have<br>
one)'.]<br><br>
Setting it
down next to his waterskin he then reached for the<br>
torc around
his neck, one end holding a glittering topaz.<br><br>
The golden
stone swished through water held in the chalice,<br>
glowing
oddly in the tunnel light. Within seconds he presented<br>
the chalice
to Z'leyra.<br><br>
"Give
this a try."<br>
GM: Ack. As explained in 3 old
updates the abysmal has nothing<br>
to do
with spell chances or anything other than smelling<br>
bad
stuff. Its like sneezing during a spell casting it<br>
has
nothing to do with anything. As to chalice no didn't<br>
bring
the gear as posted awhile back for it. As to using<br>
the
Cryx might be bad using magic to craft a item to dispel<br>
magic.
A sub of a sub item? Its like using glue when needing<br>
a duct
tape. :) Just might be a bad result. If had taken<br>
chalice it'd probably be destroyed by the quake and teleport<br>
and if
not by the shifters when gear removed form bodies.<br>
So no
chalice. :<<br><br>
From Arawn: [Re: Actions]<br>
"I have
knowledge of various rites of banishment and...<br><br>
OOC:
Arawn's Dispel Levels based on Scott's chart<br><br>
Balance
- Green Chaos
- Green<br>
Elder - Medium Kotothi
- Low<br>
Law - Green
Neutral Green<br>
Shamanic -
Green Sidh
- Medium<br><br>
When his chances
of using Supernatural Languages to boost<br>
a dispel spell are
40%+ then Arawn will attempt to use them<br>
when Dispelling.
Arawn will also keep an eye out for runes<br>
and such,
deciphering for the party when needed.<br>
GM: Ack. So when
40%? Kind of hard to figure out as a player.<br>
So
will assume use SLs all the time. I know one can
argue<br>
if you
read the strength and could wage the odds yes. Then<br>
maybe. But to know difference between 30 and 40 and 50 %<br>
is
hard to figure out. That's the beauty of role playing<br>
not
dice rolling. :)<br><br>
From Kiet: [Re: Actions]<br>
The relative
strengths should be role played. Maybe your<br>
character is just
too humble to 'brag' that his power/experience<br>
level so he says
'low'...or maybe just the opposite.<br><br>
It only adds to
the game.<br>
GM: Ack. I 100%
agree. For game purposes it should be more<br>
OOC. But for my sanity to save from doing 40 or more updates<br>
to
resolve all this I rather do it in 1-2 updates. So<br>
want
to know what folks have (I already know but its good<br>
to
know openly) and what they will do for what. So for<br>
the GM
rolls then this is why. My plan was to give folks<br>
not
just one person the chance to do magic and gain experience.<br>
So
much times its just 1-2 people and rarely get chance to<br>
improve such magics as banishment. So its just a chance<br>
for
experience. <br><br>
From Z'leyra: [Re:
Actions]<br>
"Ah
good!" Z'leyra says. "Assuming that green means to...<br>
GM: Ack. Good point on the SLs
if gods are not directly linked<br>
here
then it might be waste of time.<br><br>
------------------------------------------------------------<br>
[New Stuff]<br><br>
[Febris 9th,
1635TH]<br>
[Time: 5:01
pm]<br><br>
[Z'leyra mentions
her abysmal.]<br><br>
"Miscast magic?," Arawn queried, addressing Z'leyra. "A
magical<br>
backfire then.
Before we attempt to remove it through our own<br>
efforts let's see
if we have the tools to address this."<br><br>
But
then the day's events come to him and he realizes he does<br>
not have the
chalice.<br><br>
Z'layha snickers, "the great Z'leyra failed a spell?
Really<br>
sister?" She grins.<br><br>
<br>
[Once the future
wards are known.]<br><br>
"Okay", Z'leyra says, "Those who can sense magic will
please<br>
tell us where the
wards are when we get close. We have three of<br>
use that have
studied how to dispel or banish. If anyone else<br>
has, please speak
up. For now we have whichever caster is doing<br>
the dispel take my
luck ring to help in the casting and cast<br>
thru my staff.
Z'layha, could you do the balance and shamanic<br>
wards? Kiet, could
you do the law wards? I will attempt to do<br>
the rest. You may
draw upon the battery in the staff if you<br>
need the mana. I
will draw upon my other batteries."<br>
<br>
"Everyone ready to proceed?" Z'leyra asks, "Then
Onwards!"<br><br>
"Do not forget the power of the True Tongues, Supernatural<br>
Languages,"
Arawn advised. "Such knowledge holds great power in<br>
dispellng the
forces associated with them."<br><br>
"I have knowledge of various rites of banishment and<br>
dispeling of
magics," Arawn informed the party. "They're not<br>
a specialty but I
can cover a wide range if need be."<br><br>
"Beyond that and abilities to sense and read magical auras I<br>
may have other
spell that can prove useful if needed, the<br>
Eternal Eye or
Negate Magic spells, for example. And if things<br>
prove extra
challenging we may be able to improve one's chances<br>
through
Purification and Luck spells."<br><br>
"Ah good!" Z'leyra says. "Assuming that green means to
you<br>
as a nature type
that you are good at it. If so, Arawn can<br>
handle the
Neutral, Balance, Sidh, Kotothi and Law wards. Sorry<br>
Kiet, but we need
the most skilled if possible....Uh, Arawn if<br>
green means that
you just barely know the basics then let us<br>
have you only do
the Sidh and Neutral wards. Kiet do the law<br>
wards, Z'layha
does the Shamanic and Balance, and I do the<br>
Chaos, Elder and
Kotothi."<br><br>
"In any case I have this ring enchanted to give luck to the<br>
wearer. This
should be worn by the caster. They should also<br>
cast through my
staff as it will provide a substantial<br>
improvement in the
odds of the spell succeeding, well worth<br>
the extra mana
cost. I also have a battery or two that can<br>
provide mana,
perhaps for every second casting till we run<br>
low, then for
every casting...till the batteries run out."<br><br>
"Using Supernatural language will help IF you are skilled<br>
at it. Not so much
if you aren't. I doubt that it is worth<br>
doing purification
spells as we are somewhat cut off from<br>
help and the mana
used may be needed for the wards...there<br>
are a LOT of wards
we will need to defeat."<br><br>
"Onwards!"<br><br>
Unali
digs in her bags before the party moves on.<br><br>
Unali
will dig in her Bag and produce a simple bronze wand<br>
and say "This
should be able to deal with medium to high level<br>
Law wards twice a
day I understand. Hopefully it will aid one<br>
of you in
casting."<br><br>
<br>
Actions?
Comments??<br><br>
Next
Update....Saturday...<br><br>
GM: A simple
update for now. I will post Z's plan and<br>
alternatives since it'd be a bit more detailed for<br>
plan making for approval. Let me know personally<br>
for those who are casting the spells if you approve<br>
and for which plan and if using any aids and as<br>
mentioned before any recastings.<br><br>
So three casters Arawn, Z'leyra and Kiet (Z'layha is npc<br>
so will agree with plan 3) let me know which plan you<br>
agree or not agree and we'll go from there. As soon<br>
as I hear from all 3 I will do the rolls based on the<br>
data/aides to use I have. Will not make rolls until<br>
all 3 confirm/deny. There may be others who have spell<br>
abilities but are not speaking up so this is what we<br>
go from here. Plan 2 and 3 are not meant to sway things<br>
but just alternatives. Plan 2 is very similar to the one<br>
posted. Plan 3 though gives a bit more round robin for<br>
terms of experience. If you don't want to do all X listed<br>
then let me know. I'm just figuring it out for rolls and<br>
experience. Else if plan 3 is not done then using plan 1<br>
will take all rolls for that said person. Making more
experience<br>
for that one person. <br><br>
Happy 4th of July for those in USA!<br><br>
