Leo, waiting for the haunchback to mime, eyes the creature suspiciously. Not wanting to risk casting any spell needlessly, he circles the warding circle, trying to see if he missed anything.
OOC: Leo is especially interested to see if it looks like the chain will move or fall once the circle is broken, but any further clues (like runes, arcane symbols, or whatever) would be appreciated.
If no mime is immanent (i.e. none will be posted within a few days), Leo will just get tired of waiting and break the circle himself....

Around the circle on the floor there are some lightly drawn runes, scratched into the stones.
The chain is hanging in mid-air, clearly delineating the boundary of the circle. When you look closely, it moves by itself occasionally. The chain shimmers now and again, and at other times it shivers. You aren't certain whether it will fall, but you do know that it looks to clearly show the boundary.
How do you break the circle?

Gorgamesh circles the creature with Leo, trying to figure out what to do.
Gorgamesh will try a "detect thought" kind of spell.
ooc - what do I need to throw?

Gorgamesh cast a spell.
Score = 11/2 = 5.5

OOC:
Ahem, you need to divide by 5, since you have the Weak Spontaneous Magic flaw. The roll also does not add to your casting total, it just checks for botch. So we have just your casting total, which is 10, divided by 5 gives level 2.
The spell you're trying to cast is level 25, as explained above. And you'll need to reach higher if you want penetration.
Really, I wasn't kidding about miming. You can't cast spontaneous magic, manx - that's the flaw you chose.
Let's just break the circle and be done with it, guys. We need to advance this plot already.

Gorgamesh curse his luck and move to the side, giving the others a chance to break the circle.

Thomas is way over his head and looks at Leo and Ilshana for guidance.
