ooc: Tiny Tim appears out of nowhere an states "merry christmas to all...and to all a good night. Wait, was that in the same movie? He then vanishes without a sound.
Back to the adventure...
The bard and wizard peer into the disc.
[sblock=Vermitrax and Sharpe]
As you peer into the disc, showly an image begins to form, that of a human dressed in robes, with his head down intensely reading a large tone.
What do you want! I don't like to be disturbed! This better be important or I'll kill you and ten others in your clan!
He then looks up. Hideous scars line his face vertically from his lower jaw up to the top of his forehad, some of the bleed as he speaks. His intelligent eyes are sunk deep within the sockets of his large head. He pays no heed to his wounds. Seeing the two of you for the first time, a wicked grin appears on his face before he speaks.
What have we here? Not waiting for answer he proceeds on...<you notice that he is not moving his lips as he talks. He's communicating to the two of you through his mind>
I take it that you have slain my captain and that you <staring at Vermitrax>
have knowledge of the arcane arts, otherwise we wouldn't be having this conversation. Interesting...interesting indeed...This changes things.
He moves his gaze back and forth between the two of you produces another evil smile. Let me introduce myself. I am Vlastoes, a student of the arcane arts. No need to give me your names as I will learn them soon enough. Immediately the two of you feel the presence of Vlastoes's mind locked with yours. Your bodies become rigid and you cannot break away from the image of Vlastoes peering at you through the device. You try to speak but your cannot. As this is going on you notice blood seep through another one of the wounds on Vlastoes's face. Wizard! (referring to Vermitrex),
you may have known how to activate the device, but you did not now its true power Heh heh heh. The three of us will now spare mentally. Through the power of this device, I will learn what I need to know from the both of you. Let us begin...
With the words still echoing throughout your skulls, Vlastoes's metnal attack begins.
The mental sparing begins...
Shape and Vermitrax, you are now under the influence of the commucation disc.
Your minds are now locked with Vlastoes. Only your mental toughness (will) will determines
whether you give no information, reveal information, or gain
information from Vlastoes.
[sblock=The rules]
The duration of the mind locking ability of the disc is 4 rounds
Roll 1d20+will bonus 4 times. I will provide Vlastoes's rolls as well
for each round. To save time, roll all four die rolls in one post.
*If either of you roll a natural 19 or 20 you gain information from Vlastoes
*If both of your rolls are above Vlastoes's roll for that round, you block his mind probe, thus providing no information, and you gain information from him.
*If one of your rolls is lower than Vlastoes's roll for that round, he gains info from you.
*If both of your rolls is lower than Vlastoes's roll for that round, he gains info from both of you
Note:
Oh, one more thing. Vlastoes will never roll below a 10. If he does so, he gets a redo.
The both of you, however, have to stick with what you got.
Good luck Vemitrex and Sharpe
