All the subject’s memories and knowledge are accessible to the manifester, from memories deep below the surface to those still easily called to mind. The manifester can learn the answer to one question per round, to the best of the subject’s knowledge. The manifester can also probe a sleeping subject, though the subject may make a Will save against the DC of the mind probe to wake after each question. Subjects who do not wish to be probed can attempt to move beyond the power’s range, unless somehow hindered. The manifester poses the questions telepathically, and the answers to those questions are imparted directly to the manifester’s mind. The manifester and the subject do not need to speak the same language, though less intelligent creatures may yield up only appropriate visual images in answer to the questions.
Creatures protected by mind blank are immune to mind probe.

Does the Matron Mother, or anyone else, know that this power allows the answer of only one question per round? If she does she could allow the Illithids six seconds to find out wether or not Krecil has willingly betrayed Menzoberranzan to the Alhoon. That would solve that little problem.

 

[Endur]

The Matron thinks it might be the case, but isn't positive. If you ask the other members of your house, somebody else might know for sure.

[Pyrex]

A called creature (gate spell, paladin's mount) is actually physically here. If you kill it, its dead. It can not be dispelled through the use of Dispel Magic. Certain spells such as Dismissal (or Dispel Good) can be used to send it back to its home plane.

I kinda thought that might be the case, but I didn't have time to go check. Carcelon will proceed with dispelling Endur then.

 

[Pyrex]

Thels, Is this still Dariel's plan?

Pyrex, do you plan to dispel Endur right before Dariel hits him, or right after Dariel hits him? i.e. are you going to try and knock down magical defenses to increase Dariel's chances of hitting with the first strike, or is your dispel to increase his chances of hitting with a future strike.

Right before Dariel hits him.

 

[Endur]

Well, the good news is that Dariel almost critical hitted Endur and Endur failed his saving throw against poison.

Details will be posted in a bit.

Edited: Forgot that Endur had armor of light fortification

 

[Serpenteye]

would Krecil and Ki'Willis know (by means of the spell) which questions were being asked? Or would they have to trust the Illithids to tell the truth?

I know my character is not hearing the conversation but I have a quick question to limit my chance of not understanding something later... Who's Matron Baenre?

aka what House, etc... Sorry to all how know the drow better than I.

"She is not a slave. She is really a spy for Matron Baenre."

Well, the good news is that Dariel critical hitted Endur and Endur failed his saving throw against poison.

Good news?? I'm almost shocked I figured we would have bad to horrible news... *and with good news comes bad news...#

Which poison btw or was it both? *answered*

 

[Endur]

Matron Baenre is the most powerful Matron in Menzoberanzan. Most powerful drow elf in Menzoberanzan from a social/political point of view.

[Endur]

Gray Wolf rolled a 17 to hit +3 +2 flanking = 22. Wolf missed.

Carcelon tried to dispel spells on Endur. His armor dimmed a little bit. Carcelon thinks she dispelled a magic vestment on his full plate armor. She also thinks she dispelled a Heroes Feast effect that was on Endur. She also thinks that Endur has a number of other spells up and those spells had a high caster level (perhaps cast by someone with a bead of karma).

Dariel rolled a 20 to hit and a 17 to confirm the critical. Unfortunately, Endur has armor of light fortification, and his 25% chance blocked the critical hit and the sneak attack damage (although I allowed the sword of subtlety to still grant the +4 to hit and +4 to damage). Endur rolled a 1 and failed his poison saving throw. Endur has to make another saving throw vs. poison in ten rounds. Dariel did 9 points of damage – Endur’s DR. Endur loses 2 points of dex to Giant Wasp poison.

Gray Wolf rolled a 15 plus modifiers on his saving throw, not enough to resist the White Wolf’s command ability.

Dariel’s AC is 24 + fighting defensively = 27.

Endur rolls a 6, a 1, and a 10. His first attempt was a sunder against Dariel’s short sword of subtlety, the other two attempts were normal attacks. Endur’s modified die roll was 6 + 4 str +1 wf + 13 BAB +4 axe + 4improved sunder = 32. Dariel’s opposing die roll was a 15 + 18 to hit -3 fighting defensively = 30. Dariel’s short sword of subtlety took 14 points of damage and its hardness was ignored and it is destroyed. The second attack misses Dariel. The third attack is also a miss.

(Edited to include Endur's armor of light fortification which I forgot about)

 

[Endur]

Yes, they would know what questions were being asked.

Unless the Illithids had some way to erase your memories and insert a new memory of what questions were asked.

OOC: Marckarius had problems because he was stunned the whole time he was probed and couldn't resist. Assuming you are not stunned, you could attempt to resist their meddling with your mind.
