IC: Dichotomy's Age of Worms Redux, Part II

[TiCaudata]

Breth looks at Boldak and says quietly, "Go for it acrobat..."

 

[michael_noah]

"I think I have a better idea. Why don't you make use of that stick we found?" suggests Boldak, obviously referring to the wand of Unseen Servant.

"Have it open the door for us... and perhaps more importantly, see what those things are on the floor..."

 

[o3caudata]

"What an excellent idea!!! Alexis exclaims.

"I have a bad feeling about this room... quite bad in fact..."

 

[TiCaudata]

"If you could find traps half as well as you come up with ways to get something else to keep your skin intact, you would truely be a force to reckon with."

Breth then summons an unseen servant with the wand and directs it to check the door.

[sblock=OC]Have the thing check the door and try to open it if able. If everything goes well (read:uneventful), have the servant then go down to the level of the spheres and check their stability.[/sblock]

 

[Dichotomy]

Breth expends a charge from the wand, and he senses an invisible being come into existence at his command. He sends it toward the door, but a little more than halfway across the beam, he suddenly no longer senses its presence. The unseen servant simply ceased to exist.
[sblock=OOC]Are you going to keep track of the charges on the wands?[/sblock]

 

[TiCaudata]

"Hmmm, that didn't seem to work right. Let's try this again.

[sblock=OC]summon again and send it down to the spheres this time[/sblock]

 

[Dichotomy]

Using another charge, Breth sends the second servant down. It quickly goes down, picks up a ball, and brings it back. The ball is simply a ball of clay. It is quite hard, but there is nothing extraordinary in its appearance.

 

[TiCaudata]

[sblock=OC]Breth sends the unseen servant down to the balls and "walk" across them to the other side.[/sblock]

 

[Dichotomy]

The waiting unseen servant responds to its master's command. It drops back down, but after going a bit forward, it, like the one before it, suddenly ceases to exist.

Breth suddenly recalls that, from what he actually knows of magic theory beyond his innate powers, unseen servants have a very limited range and cease to exist if pushed beyond it.

 

[TiCaudata]

I can't get it far enough across to check the door. Let me on the board."
[sblock=OC] Walk out carefully to keep the (new) servant in front of me, then have it open the door.[/sblock]
