Shvar Choryati, was Temenun's response. The blood left Anumid's face. "I will communicate your offer." Do not tarry in your deliberations. You have less than an hour before Nashhte sets. ------------- Any speculation about what this is about? :uhoh: edit: Sep reveals all! Shvar Choryati...

I can't speak for Sepulchrave, but I found that the rewritten system was too cumbersome. And extrapolating from existing rules magnified balance problems so that they became exponentially more problematic. My clearest recollection of this was in respect to blindness. It is severely...

It seems I misunderstood the import of Ortwine's taking her place with the other Nireem. In the parley with Sibud, reference is made to her quest for divinity, which may or may not prove successful. So I guess her apotheosis is still in the future. But this indicates that it will happen...

It looks like a draw thus far. Sibud down, but also Hemah. Eadric lost his shield, and Visuit her horse. Yeshe is exhausted, but Nwm doesn't seem to have much left either. Prahar is about to enter the fight, and Ortwine has her mission of discord. That seems about even; Ortwine is, after...

What is the goal of this restriction? What benefit do you see arising from it? Because the cost is a loss of flexibility in how wizards build their characters. Imagine if fighters were restricted in what feats they could learn- say, only those possessed by enemy fighters they defeated in...

The theme of transcendence appears over and over in this story hour. Mostin does it. Shomei does it. Ditto for her simulacrum. The self-incarnation of Jovol is a way of transcending death. Soneillon's overcoming of non-existence is similar. Ortwine's seeking of godhood transcends mortality...

It's amazing how fast these side-plots are being cleared up.

I don't think the Adversary is asking Nehael to express his role in her paradigm. He already knows (and has said) that he is not her adversary. But still he asks her to think of a name, which suggests the possibility of something new. It's interesting that the Adversary doesn't ask Nehael to...

I am puzzled by a line in the dialog between the Adversary and Nehael. "Thank-you for letting Rintrah pass," Nehael nodded politely. "Will you trust me?" When did the Adversary let Rintrah pass? Is she referring to her rescue? This line was also food for thought: "Think of a name for me,"...

Updated! Thanks, Salthorae.

Does Qemetiel's Infernal Aura affect the Adversary as well?

The Adversary seems to govern a distinctively masculine notion of the self. One that emphasizes binary distinctions and is fundamentally negative: the self as the negation of the other. In contrast, Nehael seems to emphasize relationship-with; it's a more feminine approach. Nwm's granting...

Originally posted by Sepulchrave II on 05-30-09 Moonrise Hlioth appeared before Nwm. The Preceptor looked haggard. "Go to Mostin and sort things out," she instructed. "Then start thinking of a way to get rid of that." The witch gestured irritably to a billowing void which absorbed everything...

I guess I was just being overly literal. The rules for Improved Precise Shot don't say they negate partial concealment- they merely eliminate the miss chance. The rules for sneak attack don't refer to a miss chance, but to the presence of concealment. So I didn't see a connection between IPS...

I thought that concealment meant you couldn't sneak attack anyone. Have I been playing it wrong?

I wish I knew where Qarr went to. You don't think that he charmed/suggested V into killing Kubota, do you? [edit] Nah. You'd be able to tell he was charmed by the eyes.

Honestly, it doesn't make sense for Saes to hoard souls. She's a goddess of death- if people aren't dying, what is she a goddess of? The fact that she was in some kind of trance explains things- she shouldn't need much persuading. IMHO, that is.

Originally posted by Sepulchrave II on 05-23-2009 Mostin Ex Machina Temenun meditated in Dream. His ancient consciousness – elevated by powerful magics and attuned to destructive urges – rapidly took stock of the changing situation. Prescient impulses crowded his mind, each seeking to assert...

Doesn't the way that Roy's shoe rattles indicate that there is a bone left in there? That's all you'd need for a resurrection.

Originally posted by Sepulchrave II on 05-10-09 Eadric The Goddess inhaled sharply; her head span in an ecstasy. Her communion became perfect, and her form blazed as the Viridity flowed through her. Nwm had invoked her again as the conduit for a spell of staggering power. Trees nearby...
