Detect magic

"Detect magic? Think wizard! The magic that would be detected would simply be the magic of the portal, at least in any shortened amount of time to avoid the result of any of the kinds of spells that you describe."

Waiting

My paw has not left the head of the halfling.

"I'm waiting for your answer, little one."

Ah, Bear... why not leave the magic to me and stick with catching fish and climbing trees?

Dalabrac is strangely quiet.

I am afraid that I have no real answers, Ursine-Rogue. This place makes me feel savage. I am not used to having to survive in this fashion. Usually a deep shadow and time are all I need in order to make it to the morrow. Now, I have resposibilities.

My sword tip dips to the ground.

I fled from responsibility before, and now I have come close to death several times in but a few days. I do not know the way. I will agree with anyplan that will get us back to the caravan before all of our companions are dead.

I place my hand on Bear's paw.

I feel that if we could create some distraction on the other side of the portal maybe some of us could slip through and buy everyone enough time to deal with the threats awaiting us there. But I will not back down on my stance that we must go now, or as soon as the proper spells can be cast. The proper spells being ones that are already prepared.

 

[Lucius Foxhound]

I don't have any too many spells left to cast ... just a couple of protection spells for myself. I've also got one invisibility spell for someone if they want it.

So, what's the plan? Are we ready to open the door?

 

[Mahiro Satsu]

If you cast the invisibilty spell on me, maybe then Quidam can summon an elemental or something. Then We open the portal and the elemental goes in first, I follow right behind, and if the wizard is there I can kill him while the elemental distracts him.

 

[Tom Cashel]

Quidam snorts. "First of all, Kaemris was the one who summoned elementals as though they were going out of style."

"Secondly, the plan has gone from cautious stealth to full-on attack in the space of five minutes. Not that we have a problem with that..."

 

[Lucius Foxhound]

Kaemris was always a big fan of the "get 'em" plan. *sigh* How I miss him.

Oh, and I've also got a bull's (or bear's) strength spell as well.

Whatever plan is okay with me ... as I will not be the one to either charge in or sneak in, I'm hesitant to urge anyone else to do either.

Is anyone willing to sneak into the portal once it opens? Say the word and I shall make you invisible to the human and monster eye! Shazam!

 

[Mahiro Satsu]

I said "an elemental or something." A distraction only, and my being there would only be as an observer if the mage is not present. If he is it would be an attack of opportuniy. It could prove an action to save us. The portal could be closed behind us to be opened when I have scouted the way.

 

[Lucius Foxhound]

Sounds like a plan. How about I Bull's Strength you and make you invisible, Dalabrac?

Let me know when you're ready.
