[QUOTE="Jfdlsjfd, post: 9560606, member: 42856"] I can't wait. Honestly, a love interest that you meet by trying to cast Sleep on her and who is ready to slit your throat, just to start chatting about history [I]in what is obviously the middle of a heist/murder attempt [/I]is starting on the best possible track. On the other hand, you didn't mention any other female students in the Academy to impress with our skyrocketing Charisma. Maybe Dalris is actually the first girl Carr interact with, ever. Can you remember you teacher's name when you were 8? Admittedly you might if your primary school teacher was a big deal like Landor, but I doubt one would say "I was taught magic by Landor" when she was barely able to read and count. I maintain she's in the 30-35 range, but I accept your loweest possible bound. It's not right for modern sensibilities because of the impenetrable barrier at 18 yo, but it also stretches credibility for a bona fide relationship. Especially with girls maturing quicker than boys. A 23 years old female is a (young) woman. A 15 years old male is a kid. True, it has been amply demonstrated. Her father is an archdruid. She a [S]wizard witch[/S] magic-user. I know spell list expanded a lot with 3e splatbook explosing, but wasn't there spells like Locate Person or Scrying, or Augury.... in 1e? I'd have tried that before randomly wandering the streets of Saven asking for a boy called Carr Delling (or miss Marla Delling FWIW, why did they seek Landor's heir and not Landor's mate? She's as bonded to him (probably more) than us who didn't know him except by name, and there is no assuming that the enchantment made by Landor would rely on unproven genetics. Or you know, asking about them? Obviously villagers knew about her. Maybe they think being trained by Landor is enough to be like Landor. But then, why didn't they attempt that... 15 years earlier? She's lying about her age, she's lying about her teacher, why couldn't she be lying about her motives? Isn't she a little old to play the part of a Disney princess? That's it. This girl is delusional. Free, Carr, flee while you can! There is, as strange as it sounds, a strong probablity that many, many people do. Everyone in Europe descends from Charlemagne because there is not enough ancestor available 40 generations ago for someone to realistically not be related to Charlemagne (and Gengis Khan). The same can be said of ancient Greeks. So basically any person that can trace her ancestry to Olmecs and has a trace of European blood (ie, most Mexicans at least) would qualify. It is the realm of WIS 3 people. Quester for spellbooks: wer'e looking for Landor's spellbook. Oracle: What kind of places have thee checked? Quester for spellbook: under the bridge, atop the moutnains, at the bottom of the sea... Oracle: Have thee thought of looking on Landor's bookshelf? Quester for spellbook: no, divine oracle, we didn't. Thanks for thine immense wisdom. [/QUOTE]
