Once you put your subjects under, you can do "whatever you like" to them.But because pain will wake them, if you want to harm them, you need to make it clean and swift, perhaps with a dagger thrust to the throat…."Arno's dark eyes gleam as he describes the use of the Sleep incantation to assassinate subjects." Yikes!We have long suspected Arno wasn't a very nice guy and this just confirms it. His dark features don't seem fully human, although we can't place him as any demihuman race with which we are familiar.Arno needs an assistant for his demonstration and of course he picks us. Everyone else "titters" at the inevitable showdown.["Titters"? What are we, a bunch of society ladies scandalized by a rude joke?]From a pocket inside his blue robe, Arno pulls forth a vial of fine white sand. "Take a tiny pinch and fling it into your subject's face while you say 'Shhhh!' and think of nothing but perfect stillness."Rather than merely describe the technique, Arno casts the Sleep spell on us!INT test…(216) if 21 or more(178) if less</blockquote>
