OOC Kingdom of Ashes VI (Welcome to the Springer Dimension)

[The_Universe]

Does anyone recall in which thread I originally posted the map of Caer Albion with the major landmarks labelled?

I'd really like to get a look at that. The specific post would be fine, too....

If no one remembers, can someone help me look? If I find the link, I'll post it.

 

[The_Universe]

All of these are at least possible, but prophecy would suggest some of these over others - what do you think? This is, as Liz points out, an important question to answer inside the game.

i think Mordred is around (physicall or not) and that Tain is just one of many strings that he is pulling.
Can't we commune the Light about the comming/present darkness?

 

[The_Universe]

Yes you can. But the Light (or its designated representative) is generally cryptic, and the spell is costly.

Still, it may be worth the effort.

Justice can Commune, now... and - if I remember corrently - Kennon said, at one point, that "the first casting is free." That standard applied to Preston... whether or not it applies to Justice is a decision up to the DM.

Well, what does it cost if you cast it yourself?

Well, what does it cost if you cast it yourself?

It's only 100 XP - Justice would be willing to cast it after creating a firm list of questions to be asked.

Commune
Divination

Level: Clr 5

Components: V, S, M, DF, XP

Casting Time: 10 minutes

Range: Personal

Target: You

Duration: 1 round/level

You contact your deity—or agents thereof —and ask questions that can be answered by a simple yes or no. (A cleric of no particular deity contacts a philosophically allied deity.) You are allowed one such question per caster level. The answers given are correct within the limits of the entity’s knowledge. “Unclear” is a legitimate answer, because powerful beings of the Outer Planes are not necessarily omniscient. In cases where a one-word answer would be misleading or contrary to the deity’s interests, a short phrase (five words or less) may be given as an answer instead.

The spell, at best, provides information to aid character decisions. The entities contacted structure their answers to further their own purposes. If you lag, discuss the answers, or go off to do anything else, the spell ends.

XP Cost: 100 XP.

 

[The_Universe]

It will cost 100 XP every time you want to cast it - Preston's first casting was free *to you,* but not to him.

So, go ahead. Get a firm list (or perhaps a "tree" of Questions) and then cast away!

 

[The_Universe]

Perhaps some suggested questions would be helpful?

On unrelated note, I think we need a hosted forum - it's 40 bucks a year (about 5 bucks per person per year [could be done with fewer people, I suppose]) and it would avoid some of the "when did we post thing X?" that results from having 1 OOC thread and 1 IC thread. It would allow us to compartmentalize by subject...which I think would be handy.
