OK. seems to have been font related...ooc: If anyone would like to make a check to take a closer look at the Eye of the Great One, the artifact that allows the aboleth shrine master to bend the fabric of reality to its will, I've copied the necessary checks (originally posted <a href="http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?p=4378880#post4378880" target="_blank">here</a>) below for easy reference. [sblock=Perception DC 27 (25 if you're within 10 squares)]SUCCESS: The pulsing Eye of the Great One is an oblong object, hovering freely inside the ring that tops the staff. It alternates between white and black and colors that seem to draw forth hideous images unbidden in your mind. A purple becomes a bruise on the face of a loved one, a green becomes gangrene on a limb to be severed.The staff itself is about 7 feet long, carved of a black otherworldy stone and covered completely in carvings and script. At the top it splits into two thin stalks that curve around the eye in a twisted ring.SUCCESS: Allows Arcana check as free actionPlease note: anyone can make arcana checks untrained and you all have a minimum of +8 (level bonus).[sblock=Arcana 15 = common knowledge] Artifacts are indestructible. Attacking the eye itself is not a good idea. Attacking the staff is probably your best bet.EFFECT: DC for attack roll reduced[/sblock][sblock=Arcana 25] You recall Z'nasrha saying The eye itself is indestructible, but even N'haraz can not call upon it's power if it is not in the proper setting.Hmmm. Yes. The staff itself is a manipulator, if Giddis's "Theorem of Non-Transferant Indestructibility" is correct then the staff will be vulnerable to damage.If Xlix the Unbowed was correct in his famous "Unspoken Speach" the only way to hold the Eye in that position and still access its power will be polarity runes. Given the staff's head shape you think that three good strikes should be enough to damage the polarity field.EFFECT: You know how many successes are needed.  [/sblock][sblock=Arcana 30]Yes, you can make out the inverted dimensionality rune's locations, right around the head in a classic cascade pattern. Despite the staff's solid construction they should be quite sensitive.EFFECT: DC for attack roll reduced further[/sblock]ARCANA FAIL: No retry unless trained. Otherwise retry once (minor action).[/sblock]PERCEPTION FAIL: Can retry again as a minor (no limit).</blockquote>
