[QUOTE="Kobold Stew, post: 6683738, member: 23484"] As Colden speaks, it's not fully clear that Father Spec is listening. He is interested in the two nearest 'x' areas on the map; he is unaware of the top two; and he believes as long as they pursue the caster within eight hours, there is no need to rush. But he seems distracted. Father spec hangs his mace on his belt hook, and casts light on his helm, which causes the illumination to fade on the weapon. As the light above his head goes, on, it is as if he has had a great idea. ""Ooh! ooh ooh," he expostulates. His shoulders have started bouncing. "We have to try something. Quickly! This is for research. Spec turns around and starts bouncing down the corridor, towards the area which had had the silent spell cast on it -- what, 30 seconds ago now? He believes the caster hasn't been hit, and so it may be that the effect is still present. "I've always wanted to find out something..." he begins and then, he steps into the area within the spell's effect, and turns and tries to speak. Is there sound? [sblock=If there is not (and the spell is active)]"- - -" says Spec, until he pokes his head out of the area. " - and so we can see if the effect is purely illusory or if it actually deadens all sound passing through it. Wait here."
