Destiny's Tears-Prologue: A Jewel in the Shadow Part II

[Rystil Arden]

Zykovian:
[SBLOCK]
*There might be something to protect against extradimensional travel or scrying, or perhaps to either keep away or zap any attempted trespassers. It is likely that the stronger magic in the gate may control the rest, although without a good means to Dispel any of it, this insight might not be of much use.*

AbM:[SBLOCK]*In S/E/HP*[sblock]After several moments of thought, Zykovian spoke up with his theories . . .
"There might be something to protect against extradimensional travel or scrying, or perhaps to either keep away or zap any attempted trespassers. It is likely that the stronger magic in the gate may control the rest," Zykovian concluded.

"There might be something to protect against extradimensional travel or scrying, or perhaps to either keep away or zap any attempted trespassers. It is likely that the stronger magic in the gate may control the rest,"

Abdiel thinks about what Zykovian has said, and replies in Seelie:[SBLOCK]"It would seem that we have to decide which one of us will climb the wall first. I believe I may have a solution, I can summon a rat and make it climb over the wall, which would allow us to see the effect of the protective magic without putting any of us at risk. How does that sound?"[/SBLOCK]
Abdiel then turns to Mhrazhar and says in Mojiin:[SBLOCK]"Do you understand what any of the others say? I believe that you speak a language in common with Zykovian, but I wasn't completely sure. If not, please let me know, and I will be more vigilant in translating for you. So, this is the place, there are protective magics around the fence. I believe I may have a solution, I can summon a rat and make it climb over the wall, which would allow us to see the effect of the protective magic without putting any of us at risk. How does that sound?"[/SBLOCK][/SBLOCK]

Mhrazhar, Mojiin Avenger

AbM[sblock]To Zykovian [High Praetorian][sblock]"Abdiel's suggestion of 'summoning a rat' sounds good. We may want to hide and watch from a distance as we see the result. If I am correct here will will not want to trust our eyes?

If we are to work together on this fairytale quest I will need some assistance from you, Zykovian. I need to learn Eldish. Would you mind teaching me this language, as it will greatly assist us in our hunt."[/sblock]

To Abdiel [Mojiin][sblock]"That is exactly what I was thinking (summoning a rat). We may want to hide and watch from a distance as we see the result. If I am correct here will will not want to trust our eyes?

You have been teaching me Seelie, I also wish to learn more of magic [spellcraft] as all of this talk of spells and stuff is not what I have been taught. What did Zykovian say about abjuration, extra-dimensions, and Gaurds and Wards? I think he was speaking High Praetorian but it does not make much sense. I have also asked him to teach me Eldish. There is a lot of work to be done on this planet and I will need to learn the language to do it."[/sblock]
Rystil[sblock][OOC:How difficult do I think this will be to climb with my +3 mod, and is there a place for us to hide and observe?][/sblock][/sblock]

AbM[sblock]*In S/E/HP*[sblock] "Let's try that then, Abdiel," Zykovian commented. "And good advice as well from Mhrazhar . . . I will teach you Eldish if you will teach me Mojiin, Mhrazhar. That would make several languages we could converse in . . . depending on who was around."[/sblock][/sblock]

 

[FreeXenon]

Mhrazhar, Mojiin Avenger

AbM[sblock]Mhrzahar points to Melody and speaks to Zykovian in a candid fashion that seems quite abnormal for his typical tense and poised demeanor
[High Praetorian][sblock]"Let's Start with this...vhrys means rainbow..." [/sblock]
Mhrazhar smiles and then his body resumes the hunt.[/sblock]

[SBLOCK](Seelie & Eldish)
[SBLOCK]“These are some very powerful protection spells. I don't really want to find out, what they do in a first-hand experience. Do you have any idea how you want to proceed inside? Do you just want to storm inside and demand the jewel? I really doubt, that this will work. They will just call the guards and have us all arrested for trespassing.”[/SBLOCK][/SBLOCK]

"Yes, we will wish to watch from a distance, otherwise it will be hard to determine what has happened. I would be happy to teach you what I know of magic, but I must admit that I use it more than I understand it, but I can help you with some of the terms that Zykovian used:"

"Abjuration is a type of magic that is used to create defensive effects. Magical shields that stop attacks, to create barriers against evil creatures, or to magically lock portals."

"Extra-dimensions ... how can I explain these ... let me think on this and get back to you later."

"Guards and Wards is a very powerful abjuration spell that creates various effects whenever someone tries to enter the protected area. It can conjure magical fog, have spider webs fill the area, it can cause people to get lost among other effects."

"Learning Eldish and Seelie are both good ideas, they are very useful languages."[/SBLOCK]
In Seelie & Mojiin:[SBLOCK]

"Let's try that then, Abdiel."

"Let us find a good place to hide, and I will summon the rat."[/SBLOCK]
Rystil:[SBLOCK]

OOC: I will spontaneously cast Summon Nature's Ally I to summon a dire rat. I will lose my Entangle spell to do so.

[/SBLOCK]
*In S/E/HP*[sblock] "While I agree they are powerful, most are defensive in nature. Abdiel's rat test should provide some useful information," Zykovian offered. "How to proceed? That is a good question, I think I would leave it up to Abdiel, but ringing the bell and asking for admission would be an option as well. In the meantime, we should keep aware of possible tails or other trouble as well."[/SBLOCK] *Zykovian squinted in the darkness looking to see if they had interested anyone*[/sblock]
