Academy of Drell, Part 7

[Argent Silvermage]

Lyrique says "Top floor." while standing on it.

 

[Zhure]

Again, Lyrique's actions elicit nothing from the "teleport" platform.

 

[Argent Silvermage]

"Wait a minute! Paendaerig and I will stay in the 'teleport area' everyone else stay out. Mortimer can you close the doors for me?" Lyrique says.

 

[Jeremy]

Rallyn nods and steps out.

 

[Tokiwong]

Keith simply folds his arms, and looks on waiting to see if anything significant happens.

 

[GnomeWorks]

Charlotte stands near Keith, waiting for Mortimer to close the doors.

"Is it just me," Charlotte whispers to Keith, "or is this probably a waste of time...?"

 

[Tokiwong]

Charlotte stands near Keith, waiting for Mortimer to close the doors.

"Is it just me," Charlotte whispers to Keith, "or is this probably a waste of time...?"

Read my mind, Keith nodded slowly, "I am thinking this is probably pointless, but worth a try, if anything, our main task is the people still in the custody of the orcs," he turned to Charlotte, "But I agree this current course of action," gesturing to Lyrique and Paendaerig, "may be a waste."

 

[Velenne]

Travellios, surprisingly silently, laments the fact that he is too injured to chance the possibilities of the platform. His mind tries to deduce its possible function. Perhaps he knows an arcane word that might be tied to such objects...

Spellcraft Check: 12 + 10 = 22

 

[Jarval]

"Wait a minute! Paendaerig and I will stay in the 'teleport area' everyone else stay out. Mortimer can you close the doors for me?" Lyrique says.

"Sure." Mortimer takes a step back and closes the doors. He waits a moment, then knocks on the wood.

"So, you still there?"

 

[Zhure]

Once more, Paendaerig steps into the small room, this time with only Lyrique and himself inside. Nothing seems to happen; he can clearly hear the voices of his friends outside the door.

Travellios's careful study of the device seems to indicate it's possibly some sort of teleportation circle, though of a very limited scope.

Travellios concludes it's a spell-completion teleportation circle (anything to cut the cost down, eh?), so anyone using it must 1- have teleportation circle on their spell list and 2- have the requisite stat (Cha or Int for Sorc or Wis, respectively), or emulate such via UMD or PMD. The user must also designate the target of the circle and it only lasts for ten minutes per level (or emulated level). This device otherwise functions as per teleportation circle.

note: Lyrique wasn't getting a high enough score to activate the properties of the circle (DC 20 base, then DC 22 for the stat emulation)
