The Eye of Anubis: OOC Thread

[steveflam]

I Posted in the game thread but if you need someone else to combine, Ulsaon is a Rogue though a real lousy score in Disable Device!

[The Whistler]

I'm game...How about it, Neo? Is the magic pattern big enough that two people would be a help (provided tarlyn makes the DC 10 roll), or is this a "too many cooks" situation?

[NeoTiamat]

I'll allow it. Care to give it a twirl?

It's rather unlikely that Andre or Lia can help, since Dispelling a high caster level effect is *bloody* difficult, though I don't claim to know everything those guys can do, nor that they won't get lucky.

Your call. Just post in the main thread and add up all your modifiers.

[The Whistler]

All right; no harm in waiting just in case, provided nobody else minds--but KK, might be a good idea to cast those spare buffs on Ulsaon instead of Charles, since Charles can make the Aid Another check automatically.

I rolled 12 not counting any modifier.

[steveflam]

So if you want to include Ulsaon she is at the door with Lia, ask away!

[The Whistler]

Will do. Expect a long post sometime tomorrow, after Lia and Andre have said/done their pieces.

[steveflam]

Righto!

[NeoTiamat]

Irony Dice appears to be operative once more.

[Kaitou Kage]

All right, well, either way, give yourself a +1 luck bonus to the check from me.

So far it looks like you've got at least +5 before the gloves. +1 luck, +2 each for two assists. Hopefully someone else has some more to throw on (fox's cunning, anyone?)

[NeoTiamat]

Obviously enough, the Dispel isn't even close.

I will also rule that only two people can assist in this situation, since the glyph is on a fairly large column, so you get the person disarming it, and the person to either side.

Kuzan looked at Tomas for a moment, and then chuckled. "Lucky there wasn't a ward on it," he said, "I've heard of wards that'll turn a man into a rooster if you're not careful."

Don't go giving ideas to our DM! I can picture it now, one of us clucking around like a rooster

[Rock of the Fraternity]

Rest at ease, NT doesn't need any ideas for horrible wards. He got me with a doozy, back in Ravnika ... If not for KK's help, Lia would be deader than the dodo. Getting turned into poultry does not compare ...

[NeoTiamat]

Rock, you say the sweetest things.

Also, I just recieved my first packet of twenty spells, which will go up in the Cast thread. From the speed at which this seems to go, I'm going to halve the XP per spell from 50 XP to 25 XP. So 20 spells nets you 500 XP.

I will also be eventually putting up all of the spells in the Core and Spell-Compendium in one big foreign-language caster compendium. As such....

[NeoTiamat]

Oh, and also, if it isn't clear, I'd like you to both include a literal translation of what you have written and the language its in for your spell words.

A trio of sample spells:

Pyrotechnics: phlos te kapnos (flame and smoke, Greek)
Web: reta arachnidae (spider’s web, Latin)
Cloud of Bewilderment: nephos sygchyse (mists of confusion, Greek)
