I didn't see anything noteworthy on page 214. The interpretation from the Rules of the Game article makes sense to me. So, I think it makes sense to say that failure on the caster level check means that the scroll is simply not activated. So you can try again. As for the mishap goo, once...

Nethezar curls his upper lip. "We will either need to find a cleric of St. Cuthbert or a wizard. In either case, the caster would need to be someone of... substantial power. The mind blank spell is, from what I know, a spell well above the means of even many accomplished practitioners." Those...

So... ummm... Erd got a 1... So the spell fails. But she got a 10 on the wisdom check. Seriously... you got screwed. Ummm... sorry about that... So, I dunno if you guys want to do something else...

Sorry about the Monday confusion stuff. I assume that Erd is making the darkvision scroll but Neth is making the others? The trio adopts disguises once more and heads out. Fortunately, either the disguises work, or the guards indeed lost interest in the trio, as they have no trouble moving...

Eligos nods toward Erdolliel. "That is what the spell does. I'm sure it will be a large boon against the illithid. I have no other advice to offer." So, I only have the most dim and vague recollection of the scrolls. I do recall that there was an intention of making them, but I don't...

Eligos nods. "Make yourselves comfortable, then. Please, enjoy the food. Pollard will take care of any needs you have. I will return as soon as I can find some news." With that, the sage a cloak from the manservant and departs. Nethezar quickly downs some of the food and begins working on...

"Unfortunately, I do not know of any maps of the sewer systems. The sewers were engineered in a very piecemeal fashion, from what I've heard, and they are not well-managed. You could, perhaps, attempt to hire a tracker. Or simply look for beggar's gold in the sewers near the Cold Forge. "I...

Eligos shakes his head. "I do not know. As soon as I received your message, I contacted some people who might help. Now that I know more, they can act further. It will take some time, however. I will do what I can to send word as soon as I know anything."

Eligos shakes his head in response to Erdolliel. "While I understand your frustration with the generality of my synopsis, the delay was not caused by me tracking down and studying the rare texts. On the contrary, at best I have found only second, third, or even fourth-hand accounts. Not only...

Eligos sighs audibly. "I'm sure you don't need me to tell you that such was probably a scheme by the illithid. I think I mentioned that they are extremely intelligent." Following Kushnak, Nethezar adds, "And with the mind gem... thing... that the doppelganger's had, they probably pulled...

Eligos seems taken aback, as he abruptly stops mid-stride. While the sage quickly, and obviously, adopts a steely calm as Kushnak lays into him, Kushnak's words are clearly a surprise. "I... see," Eligos replies as he thinks for a moment. "Things have clearly escalated. Pollard," he turns to...

Erdolliel knocks on the door. The aged elf Pollard opens the door almost immediately. He quickly stands to the side, however, and you can see Eligos coming toward the door. Eligos looks askance for a moment as he looks at the trio. "That is you. Come in. No formality is necessary. I have...

Nethezar nods and gives each of the three a blessing. "In case this illithid is here." Neth casts protection from evil on each of you, unless either of you cast the spell for yourself.

Nethezar helps make only subtle changes to Kushnak and Erdolliel's appearances. The scholar covers their armor with cloaks. With application of some make-up, he makes Kushnak look slightly younger, perhaps 13 or 14 years-old. With the same, he brings Erdolliel up to middle-age. As for...

Interesting... The text of the disguise skill clearly contemplates creating a disguise for oneself. But is there any reason Neth can't use his skill to create a disguise for Kush? In any case, using disguise self and glibness, Neth has +24 disguise and +44 to bluff before any dice are rolled...

Nethezar adds, "Since... the cube incident," he says omniously, "I have become extremely adept at utilizing disguise kits. Further, I have magic that can enhance my own disguise and can give me the ability to... 'sell' is the term... even a barely plausible story to the gate guard." Also, Neth...

Day 46 The trio looks around a bit, but it seems that most of the people in the caravan park simply camp out. Deciding it would be safer to camp some distance away, the trio finds a relatively secluded spot, sets watches, and rests. Fortunately, the night passes without incident. A light...

"A setup, or something stopped Eligos. I'm not sure which possibility is worse..." Nethezar's voice trails off. The trio waits a little while longer, but no one ever seems to take any interest.

Kushnak finds a make-shift table that seems suitable. Soon enough, the trio has a round of drinks and, as inconspicuously as possible, waits for Eligos. Time passes, but even though drinking slowly, the first round is long gone.

Before the group begins moving, Nethezar interjects, "At the risk of sounding contrary, if Erdolliel was responding to a voice, I didn't hear it. If it was in her head, it very well might have been coupled with a mind controlling effect. There are quite basic spells that could accomplish this...
