pneumatik's WotBS 1 - The Scouring of Gate Pass

[pneumatik]

[sblock=Hollister's spellcraft check] Hollister knows that arcane lock would keep the tumblers from moving in the manner Rea is describing. In that there only appears to be one dweomer on the scroll case, and that detect magic shows that it could be arcane lock, then it's very likely that the case is arcane locked.[/sblock]

 

[Rhun]

"Upon further examination, I'm almost certain that the magic on the case is an arcane lock spell," adds Hollister after a few moments. The wizard turns to Shealis. "I do not currently have a spell in my repertoire capable of dealing with the lock. Do you perchance know a spell to open locks or dispel magic? Either of those should work."

"I don't have an appropriate spell with me," Shealis says. "If I ever need a utility spell I buy a scroll from the school."

 

[Rhun]

"That is unfortunate," says Hollister, scratching at his goatee. "So, what do you suggest then? We could return to the school? Or perhaps you know an elven wizard of some skill that dwells nearby?"

"There's still the option to smash it open, unless your magicks would prevent that" Korrin says wryly

 

[Rhun]

Hollister shakes his head. "While the magics would make the case extremely difficult to pry open, it wouldn't provide additional protection to the case itself. With that said, smashing it open could well damage anything inside."

 

[Arkhandus]

Liiros stands around and grumbles about the unopenable case, upset that he can't offer any solutions. He was no locksmith or magician. "Well, then, find someone else around here who can break the magic seal! Surely with this many of our kind around, someone possesses enough magical talent to do so!" he says, briefly losing his patience.

Lytha

“While it is not my field of expertise, I do agree, that it shouldn't be too hard to find someone around here, who is able to. That sounds like a pretty basic spell we need here,” Lytha chimes in.

 

[Theroc]

"Just don't smash it!" Rae says, looking at Korrin incredulously.

 

[Rhun]

"If we could find a scroll with a spell to open locks, it is well within my ability to cast," adds Hollister. "I simply do not have such a magic written in my spellbook. Shealis, do you know someone nearby, or perhaps know of a place closer than the Castle to secure such magics?"
