[QUOTE="darkbard, post: 8882425, member: 1282"] [I]Chanvati feels a queer fluttering in his stomach--fear? excitement? arcane feedback?--at the sensory overload emanating from the central brazier. He has visited the Dome of Illumination many times before but never when the Oracle was amidst Dreamspeaking! Neverthess, now is no time for spectacle. The Scrolls of Xanthar must lie below in the undervaults, among the dusty trade annals of centuries past. Best to slip down there now, when the chamber is ablaze with activity--literally and figuratively. To evade the watchful gaze of The Mind, Chanvati peers intently about the room, noting the many activities that distract its watchfulness from focusing singly upon him and his brute companion. If he can gauge this correctly, he can anticipate a moment of respite when The Mind focuses elsewhere so he and his slave can descend to the undervaults unmolested. Chanvati exhales and clears his thoughts, uncentering himself from the white room of his mind. With sudden force, he reasserts his will, fusing his awareness with psionic prowess.[/I] [HR][/HR] Secondary Check Perception vs. Easy DC 8 to "read the room" and the rhythm of its activity for buff to Primary Check Insight vs. Hard DC 19 to anticipate The Mind's gaze being momentarily distracted. Adept's Insight Encounter Power augmented with 1 Power Point to add 1d4+1 to Primary Check. Perception Roll 18 +3 = 21 vs Easy DC 8. Success. +2 forward. Adept's Insight 1d4+1, Roll 1 +1 = +2 forward. Insight Roll 5 +10 Insight +2 bonus (Perception) +2 bonus (Adept's Insight) = 19 vs Hard DC 19. Just passes! [HR][/HR] [I]Supercharged with psionic energy, Chanvati's ability to process the myriad events and functions of his surroundings accelerates, one unconscious detail after another moving from the fringe of his unconscious to clear focus. He notes how the crystalline "head" of The Mind pivots briefly as each new cry from the tortured rings out and times his signal accordingly. "Move, sahtree*, now, to the undervault through those stairs," he whispers and gestures to their left. The pair moves quickly to evade the return of The Mind's attention their way. *An Elvish word for woman generically or bearer-of-burdens.[/I] [/QUOTE]
