    Leo is about to shout to Ilshana not to brake the circle, when he sees her doing so on her own. At least she got good sense he thinks. I wonder is she realizes the thing is probably Infernal. Leo waits for the "fearies'" answer.

    Leo gives the room one last glance. "Well, the answers clearly aren't in this council chamber. Let us move further in. That blood, he motions at the bloodied door, surely indicates something." He carefully sniffs the door, and pulls it open further, to peer into the room beyond. [I believe it...

    Looking through the books, Leo reports to the party: "Some decent books on Hermetic magic - and also some books on non-Hermetic Arts. Infernal magic, in all likelihood." He looks at the other cabinets disdainfully. "There are other things where these came from. But I think I've wrestled with...

    Leo snarls quietly at his companions chiding, and makes another short incantation in Latin. A book magically rises towards him. OOC: Leo casts Unseen Arm again; he has a +14 Casting Total, 4 on the dice, -3 from wounds and -3 from aura; a total of 12 for a level 5 spell, so he casts it without...

    Leo meows in pain and surprise, a sound strangely similar to a suffering cat's. The conflagration, which would have incapacitated a normal man, leaves him with a medium wound - his coat smoldering around a nasty burn. He bellows in frustration "Who in Hades entraps a cabinet?! Paranoid fools!"...

    While Gorgamesh casts his spell, Leo surveys the room. Going around the table's remains, he stands before the cabinets. He first tries opening the cabinets with an Unseen Arm. Seeing that they're locked, he growls and reaches a paw to touch one, while making another incantation. If even this...

    OOC There are a lot of things you can do with Intellego Vim magic - but each spell can only do one thing. Here are some examples, based on your question, In ArM, a "magical aura" is a supernatural aura that permeates a place, and is attuned to Magic. There are auras attuned to Faerie (faerie...

    Leo pauses for a moment after he crosses the threshold, sniffing the odor distastefully. He catches his breath, and then quickly casts Wizard's Sidestep on himself, just in case. When the others arrive, he trods carefully down the argent staircase. Guerino, cursing continously in Italian...

    Sniff the Infernal Stench InVi 5 This spell allows the caster to "smell" the strength of an Infernal aura. Depending on the breeze, the scent can be carried some distance away from the aura, or the scent of a distant aura can drift into the place he is at. (B2, +3 smell)

    "That", says Leo, "will not be necessary. We should investigate this place now, while the cursed sleep is emenating from it". Leo breathes deeply, and starts walking very slowly towards the wall. As he does, his body changes into that of a lion. Throughout his walk he intones in Latin, a chant...

    Some spells: Undoing the Mason's Work ReTe 5 This spell causes a wall, or a part of it, to topple down. In Leo's version of the spell, the effect is accompanies by a trumpet call, and the stones fall off in a way that creates a path, as if the walls fall to open the way for a coming king. (B 2...

    Hearing the baron's religious explanations, Leo nonchalantly bursts into heresy. "There are other gods, and other priests. Let us see if they will be more willing to remove this curse." When the baron suggests they all come inside, Leo again interjects. "With every night, the curse tightens...

    Leo ponders the situation. From his position, slightly behind Ilshana, he addresses the baron in a sombre tone. "Another thing - how did your brother knew it was his encounter that led to the curse? How do you know the curse is related to him going down that corridor? Did someone tell him this?"

    Thanks all! Your responses were very helpful. I'm afraid I can't answer most of the questions, as my knowledge of the rules is rather low. Thanks again :) Rothe, your question I can answer - he doesn't play it. But, his play characters are also pretty optimized, often much like this one. He had...

    So, I've got a player that came up with a level 16 character which he says can decimate just about anything, acting as a party all by himself and taking down opponents of any level. I don't have lots of experience with 4e, so I thought I'd ask around here if this character is really that...

    Leo looks at Ilshana expectantly. Guerino mumbles something in Italian about drug barons, in the background. OOC: Well, we all have the effects of The Gift - except for Ilshana, and when it comes to animals me and Thomas. At any rate, no problem. Quite some party, huh? All three magi and at...

    "That we can" Leo smiles back. OOC: I'm confused - what Blatant Gift? Looing over at Gorgameshe's character sheet, he has the usual Gift. He is disfigured and has poor presence, and is a hunchback; arguably all of these are part of his Essential Nature so cannot be altered bv magic, so perhaps...

    Leo, preferring to rely on Ilshana to speak with mundanes, leans over and whispers in her ear. "Ask him how it all started - but make sure he understand it's a favor". He leans back to let Ilshana do her thing OOC: Leo will stand back, looking regally over the conversation. He doesn't like...

    Leo shrugs. "Perhaps. But the baron's sleep is restless. Perhaps there is a courtyard near his quarters, that he may wander to flee sleep?" He looks at the boy expectantly. OOC: IIRC, you can use your Flexible Formulaic Magic to change the target of Disguise of the Transformed Visage to...

    Leo remains silent through the events, letting the others talk to the mundanes and domesticated animals. When the boy motions them towards the kitchen, he speaks sharply "No. We need to reach the center of this problem, somehow. Boy - is there any man here that will know the history of the place...
