Nothing, dude, it was just a joke. I'm sorry! I'll change it if you like.

Just, you and I are often on exposition duty.

Oh, it's fine

I was just giving you a hard time, not taking it personally

"Eh? I know a man who makes those..." Otto deadpanned it, but it soon became apparent that he was repressing a smile.

Hilarious! Kudos to both of you for making me chuckle...

Her hair falls roughly to her shoulders, its colour impossible to determine under the gauzy veil, but clearly very light.

Awesome! It's like the scene in Empire Strikes Back where you get just a glimpse of the back of Darth Vader's head. just enough to leave you guessing.

*KCHH* Why thank you. ^^ *KCHH* It's always nice to be appreciated. *KCHH* But just to be clear, Luke, Lia is not your father. If she were ...

I'd have been playing a very convincing crossdresser all this time ... *KCHH*

Oh dear.... I am very happy I do not have a character named Luke.

Also, I am going to be somewhat sparsely posting till around Thursday evening, since I have a truly awe-inspiring amount of work I need to do over the next two days. I'll try to answer any checks or things like that, and I might have Sam shoot back with a rejoinder, but don't expect any massive new-room expositions.

So...anyone with Knowledge (history) ready to step up and take a crack at a few of our questions about this place?

What the hey, I've got a few ranks in that area. Just formulate your questions so I know how many rolls to make. ^^

Let's see...

Are there any stories (preferably tragic) told about a keep on the border between Pharazia and Sebua? One in which all the people within die under suspicious circumstances, especially?

Has the Cult of Anubis ever been established in Pharazia? What would have happened to an Anubite cultist found in Pharazia in the time before the Prophet ascended to the rule of Phiraz?

Are there any prominent members of the Cult of Anubis who might be the former owner of all this regalia?

Obviously, the History of the Cult of Anubis will be our friend here.

Though Ishaq has absolutely no knowledge history, would he have heard of any rumors or old wives tales?

The Whistler · Post by **The Whistler** » Wed Apr 23, 2008 6:01 pm

Ooh, and Doc, does Tomas' Sight tell us anything about the place? Nice to know if the nice peaceful wizard's laboratory is a HOWLING KNIFE-PIT OF AGONY or something on the Ethereal Plane.

Already answered. It's a big yup:) Rumored haunted, everyone inside slaughtered violently, and quickly.

As for the others, once i'm done playing "What Scroll is This?" I can get on that...Knowledge Religion AND Knowledge History, with specialties in Pharazia and Sebua AND Har-Akir for both=WIN

Just so I know before I start exploding things accidentally...any hints on what the DC would be if Otto were to pull a Disable Device on those scrolls? ("No" is fine.) *Is* that even something I can do?

NeoTiamat · Post by **NeoTiamat** » Wed Apr 23, 2008 9:50 pm

There are eight more scrolls, all of which are guarded by DC 28 wards. However, if you get a 23 or lower on your Disable Device check, the ward activates, with whatever negative consequences are involved.

The Whistler · Post by **The Whistler** » Wed Apr 23, 2008 10:26 pm

Okay, that's probably out of my price range, then, unfortunately; I'd have to beef up with a full day's use of the Gloves of Manual Dexterity to de-ward just one scroll, and even then it wouldn't be a sure thing. I suppose Dispel magic is probably the way to go, if people don't mind...
