[sblock=that was mean!]

LOL!! OK if you look at the times you and I both posted, you'll see that it was within 2 minutes of each other. I never saw follow-up post #726 you put up for Ah-shahran. Close the browser, came back, and just kept moving...

But this is so much better....... Velani's reetahded.

As for questions though, I'm never one to hang around in a new area...would rather ask her things back at the crypt with backup. [/sblock]

Ah-shahran squints at the magical circle. Any thoughts on bringing that down, Viator? Stroking his (non-existent) beard, Ah-shahran moves around the edge of the force field, studying the ground as he mutters to himself (or maybe invisible spirits).

GM: At this juncture I am playing a 60-something year old, hang on- from the module... she is described thusly- A naturally cranky woman, she has made her captors more than a little miserable. And she has played on the rumors... intimated she might have “dark powers,” hoping that she’d scare the hobgoblins into treating her better. ... hoping she wouldn’t be able to turn them into toads... the hobgoblins are giving her a wide berth. Everyone... thinks that Zerriksa is a witch... Zerriksa doesn’t care for her fellow prisoners... And I'm playing for the laughs...

Well it looks to be a simple task- a crude circle of runes map the outside of the area, obviously the work of the Goblin Witch... as I say a crude piece of rudimentary magic.

That said this is what you see- from an arcana point of view you're less sure- you need someone with a better grasp of the skill, or else you need to think about things a little longer...

GM: Seeking Arcana roll from someone else perhaps.

Kyalia

While the more learned members of her little party take a closer look at the circle, Kyalia puts her keen eyes to good use and looks for anything in the surrounding area, which 'looks off' and might be helpful in shutting down the magic... a focus, or anchor, or something similar. Having no knowledge whatsoever in the arcane theories, the elf just looks for anything unusual.

Ah-shahran squints at the magical circle. Any thoughts on bringing that down, Viator?

"HUSH, Zerksie, what do you know about detective work, you.... you witch! grumble, grumble, meanie, grumble.......

Can't we just hack it down?" Velani asks with a wry grin in response to Ah-shahran's question, drawing her blade and helping Kyalia look around.

OOC: yeah, ok, i'm starting to like this INT 10, WIS 8 thing... LOL

Freggo rescues the fair damse... anyway he rescues

Freggo draws forth his trusty blade and paces around the barrier. He notes the magic runes, fairly certain that disrupting them would remove the barrier. But that approach just doesn't seem right. "Fear not, my lady, freedom is at hand. With magic such as this, the trick is to find a weakness. Aha!". With that Freggo lights up his Greenflame blade in a flourish, subtly using his foot to disturb a key rune, and strikes ditectly at the barrier!

 

[tiornys]

As Freggo kicks at the runes, Ah-shahran glances over at Velani and murmurs, It may well come down to brute force, after all. He cackles, and then looks to Viator to see if he has a better approach.

At the nod from Ah-shahran, Viator steps up to the barrier.

Lower Officer Spizz, I need you. Sit at this side of the barrier. Focus.

Slowly, he circumnavigates the sphere. His eyes glaze as he reaches out with his power and probes to discover what the essence of the barrier is.

His mind reaches into the cracks of the shell, the eddies of the energy and manipulates them until they speak back to him, resonating in the centres of his body.

Kyalia & Velani

Alas there seem to be no obvious anchors, save perhaps the writing at the base of the forcefield- but that makes little sense to either Kyalia or Velani. It seems Zerriksa so annoyed the Goblins they just stuck her in a back room and created an enclosed area to make her even more uncomfortable.

Freggo

Freggo's blade rebounds with such force from the barrier that he twists and almost damages the joint at his wrist- he winces horribly, drops his sword and rubs at the joint.

Behind him Zerriksa thunks her head in to the barrier, and closes her eyes, muttering all the while.

"Please, lord... please- one of them must have a brain..."

Ah-shahran

Enjoys the spectacle...
