The Crux of the Matter

[Rystil Arden]

(OOC: No biggy--it just means more XP if you have another random encounter Best move quickly though, lest the distortions grow worse or the tower vanish )

(ooc: we could just say that we already did that nudge nudge wink wink LOL)

(OOC: Or we could do something more believable... )

*Suddenly, the mist coagulates and thickens between Tenebrynn, who is next to the door, and all the rest of the group. When everything clears, Tenebrynn is back again, but he looks somehow different.*

[SBLOCK=Tenebrynn OOC]A temporal eddy swapped current-time Tenebrynn with future Tenebrynn from a week later who went back to Orussus and scribed Dispel Magic. Subtract 150 + ink costs from your gold and add Dispel Magic Also, he's healed as if he rested for 7 days and has new spells prepared.[/SBLOCK]

(ooc: score!, I'll change my spells memorized too.)

"As I said last week, I think I have a way of opening the door. Are we ready to go then? You haven't all been standing right there all week have you?" says Tenebrynn.

"I would rather tells that you have been travelling in time... or maybe it us. But for us, you have been left for a blink of an eye, if you ever left. It's hard to tell when you first experiment this. So all that you need is to break teh magic of the seal?"

"I can do that." tells Hogarth

"You can?" asks Rinaldo a bit surprise by his silent companion comment.

"Yes. I might not know... magic as... you all do." tell Hogarths, searching for his words in the common tongue. "My... magic is... given to me by Gundar. I don't know... how it works. You know... people fears what they... ignore. Not me. Gundar is... helping and... protecting me. When I... learned we were... heading to a magic tower... I ask Gundar to gives me... spells to... help me to... defeat magic. I have one spell that can... end a spell. If Gundar want us to... enter, he will break the... seal."

"As you said, you might not be as knowledgeable then our friends, but you are a wis eman. It is all at your honor, Hogarth. Do we want to unseal teh door now?" ask Rinaldo

[SBLOCK=OOC] Well, thanks, by not waiting for my reply you saved Hogarth two spells... a healing spell on Tenebrynn and the Dispel Magic he had prepared it seems. [/SBLOCK]

 

[Rystil Arden]

(OOC: Sometimes it is easy to forget that Hogarth is as high level in casting as the two Wizards )

 

[Knight Otu]

"Well, whatever just happened, it seems to have worked to our advantage in a way. That's rare enough. But if that is an example of what can happen with the tower, we really should act."

 

[Rystil Arden]

(OOC: So, gonna Dispel it? As you may have guessed, the reason I consider it not to be a riddle required for entry is that the answer is to just cast Dispel Magic centred on the centre of the door, which is what you probably would have done as a default if Knock didn't work You solved it though and gained the added detail of why the Dispel check is going to work despite the high caster level )

 

[Velmont]

"Hogarth, go on." tells Rinaldo.

"If Tenebrynn is... able to use that... spell too, he should use it... first, so I can... keep it for healing if... needed." replies Hogarth in his hesitant Common.

"Tenebrynn, what you think of that?"

 

[Bront]

Vanitri nods, "I agree, Hogarth makes a good point."

'I hope Laynie doesn't get caught in one of those things, I'd hate to deal with her as a sudden teenager,' Vanitri thinks.
