[QUOTE="exile, post: 3095166, member: 20068"] I am running an online play by post game that is heavily influenced by Harry Potter and Dungeons and Dragons, down to using a lot of spells right out of the PHB. The game is set at a wizards school and at presnet there are three active players and two that are considerably less active. All of the characters started as students at a wizarding school called The Hall of Mysteries- think Hogwarts, but broken down into individual schools for each of the D&D schools of magic. One of the characters is still a student in good standing. Two of the other characters have been transformed into drudgethralls, deformed servants that make life easy for teh professors and other students. Part of becoming a drudgethrall includes losing their connection with magic, but the two are quickly replacing their former knowledge of spells with roguish talents. The two drudgethrall characters are on a mission to steal an item called the Null Cloak from the head of the School of Illusion. The Null Cloak is essentially a silenced cloak of invisibility that also prevents magical detection. I need help coming up with a sereis of protections put in place to protect the Illusion professor's office, living space, and the chest containing teh cloak. The problem is, he is obviously far more powerful than the two deformed girl rogues (even if they can recruit the help of a student in good standing). So I need to come up with defenses that are fun to bypass in writing/play, but can be accomplished with tehir very meager wits. Once the cloak is stollen, they also plan to escape school grounds, so any bonus thoughts regarding playing an exciting escape would be appreciated. Thanks, Chad [/QUOTE]
