The Crux of the Matter

[Rystil Arden]

OOC: Double Specialist is good. I know she wasn't planing on it, but I could see her changing her mind Just make sure she can take D-Door. She's probably a Necro and either Abjuration or Enchantment shunner. Probably Necro and Abjur. But that's my thought, yours may vary Specialist helps make up for the lack of spells from being a lower level.

(OOC: She wasn't originally, partially because I actually did want her to have more than a single major but we didn't have the feats yet, so I decided to claim she was going to complete the requirements for the double major for fun and get the Generalist's. But I wanted to leave leeway. She has cast Shield, I think, and not having Dispel Magic is dangerous, but I could see Abj going, maybe on a metagame standpoint since Vanitri/Lex will probably team up with Ashna and Tenebrynn again, who have it. I think I never had her cast Enchantment magic except from a wand once, which can be explained with UMD if she was barred Necro/Ench)

OOC: Yeah, Necro/Ench might work better for her then. It doesn't have to be perfect. Necro has some fun spells, evil and non-evil, but I could see her shunning them.

That seems relatively likely to level people up.

(Especially when one of those people is 1 XP away from the next level. Going to update Ashnar soonish.)

Ashnar moves close to Rayne, and asks her, whispering "Did you find out anything more while I was gone? Perhaps speed is an issue?"

(Since we haven't yet openly admitted that we learned about Rinaldo's slow-motion approach, I guess that she would tell me of that. If so, Ashnar asks how slow Rinaldo moved. And the whisper isn't to hide it from Sin, but from the others so they don't try to stop me should it come to that .)

(OOC: Ashna has higher intelligence than Rinaldo, so she would realise that Rinaldo's vaunted 'solution' to attack the Crux in slow-motion is actually not a solution but an artifact of the way the Crux decides to get rid of you--the Crux cares about time, not space (since it nondeterministically looks into possible futures), and so therefore, if your speed is lower, your future endangers the Crux at a later time. You can't trick the Crux, though, unless you are coming out of another timestream (effectively catching the Crux flat-footed). So Ashna really did give up what may be her one and only chance to destroy the Crux (depending on whether the Crux learns to stick her in a more dangerous future) by not seizing that initiative. Let me know if that changes things, though I guess it probably won't)

 

[Knight Otu]

(In that case, she'll add that it probably wouldn't help, but any bit of information can count. The main idea is to show that she may be willing to destroy the Crux if it becomes necessary.)

*Rayne nods and whispers back that approaching the Crux slowly seems to delay the onset of the disappearance.*

(ooc: okay so Tenebrynn advances in level in the future time line. Learns Dimension Door (and one other spell ~ Lesser Globe of Invulnerability), then memorizes three dimension doors before heading back (or two and one LGoI if we want to be realistic about what he'd have been planning before coming back). Then when he gets back those two spells are not in his spellbook but he has them memorized.)

 

[Knight Otu]

(So we two learn DD, and with Elektra, we have a transport capacity of 9, correct? We have to transport... Ashnar, Elektra, Fareye, Hogarth, Laynie, Rayne, Rinaldo, Tenebrynn, Vanitri, perhaps Guile? Fareye should be good with Share Spells, I believe, so unless I forgot someone, that sounds like a plan. Now to decide on my evocation spell for levelling, I guess.)

(OOC: You can't learn Lesser Globe as your second spell unless you picked up the Mordrue's Lore feat while I wasn't looking--one of the two must be Divination)

 

[Erekose13]

(ooc: I thought that was just the first spell of any spell level that you had to devote to your preferred school. Tenebrynn already picked up Scry when he hit 7th to cover that requirement.)
