It's foolishness to attempt such a thing against the power of a god. But there seems to be little choice. At least if he fails here, the end might be quick instead of drawn out, starving, and knowing we are only steps from 'home'.</div><div id="AppleMailSignature"><br></div><div id="AppleMailSignature">OOC...If Kiet <i>must</i> try to counter the Ward...</div><div id="AppleMailSignature"><br></div><div id="AppleMailSignature">BIC...Back In Context...😉...</div><div id="AppleMailSignature"><br></div><div id="AppleMailSignature">Kiet gathers himself, however. Taking his time, he meditates for as long as he thinks he might have time. Working as carefully as he can, he gathers his mana carefully, precisely, and is careful to speak his words (in Katai ) with careful enunciation. He then will cast at his maximum EL...and stand there as boldly as his little 5'6" frame allows, not quite daring the gods to strike him, but strong in the knowledge that he did everything he possibly could.<br><br>Sent from my iPad</div></body></html>
