The Four Lands - The Great North

[Dracomeander]

After Bertrand checks, Finnian prods a rat with Battle's Wit as he examines it looking for signs magical effects.

"I agree that we need to find out what is so special about these crates. Just let me see if I can remember anything about how these rats were killed. Bertrand's decription doesn't sound right. Bodies still warm shouldn't be stiff."


[sblock=OOC]Spellcraft check on dead rats and surrounding area = 32, http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=921844 [/sblock]

Sailing North - The Storm

OCC: Why is it certain players have to roll so good

For Finnian
[sblock]Using Bertrand's information for a frame of reference as well as what has occured in the previous hours, Finnian quickly deduces that the rats were killed by a blast of arcane power that leaves a NULL or empty aura. Such magical blasts usually occur as a freak or abberation of magic and are exceedling rare. Should an indiviudal or entity be able to produce such a blast then they would be extremely formidable and dangerous..but not necessary evil...just very very very well versed in arcane magic.[/sblock]

 

[Dracomeander]

"We need to be very cautious. The rats were killed by a blast of arcane power that leaves a NULL or empty aura. I can't remember whether there would be a residual effect. Usually such blasts occur accidentally. If this was intentionally produced, then whoever or whatever did it is extremely powerful and supremely well-versed in the arcane arts. But it would be a matter of power and knowledge, and not necessarily evil."

Sailing North - The Storm

For Jaroth
[sblock]Sensing the conditions are right to bring forth his power, Jaroth stands ready in the crows nest. The storm continues to rage and Jaroth senses and abnormal increase in the energy of the storm.[/sblock]


For Finnian
[sblock]Perhaps due to his training, Finnian begins to sense the a rythum to the air as if some song is being played.[/sblock]

For Anniston
[sblock]While the discussion continues, Anniston suddenly senes the null void which is slowl eating away at his protective magics.[/sblock]

For Vadric
[sblock]Vadric begins to fill the null void come forth and nibbel away at his protective magics.[/sblock]

For Bertrand
[sblock]Leaning close into Bertrand, his shaman friend whispers "There are spirits being loosed...powerful nature spirtis.[/sblock]

 

[Rhun]

A look of surprise comes over Vadric's face. "I can feel it...this 'null' energy...it is eating away at my protective wards. We either need to stop it or get away from here, and quickly."


Does Vadric have any idea what this is or where it comes from?

Jaroth

Jaroth stands, arms raised high in the air. And boldly yells at the sky:

"Mighty Zeus! Spirit of Thunder and Lightning, Hear my Plea!
Rise Mighty Neptune! Plunge my enemies into your frothing Sea!
Protective Hera! Spirit of the Hearth, shield your children here with your grace!
With the ferociousness of the Valkries, Smite that ship that keeps pace!"

With this incantation, Jaroth calls down a bolt of lightning to shatter the center mast of the closest Dragonship.

[ooc: crossing fingers. Pulling out all the stops with the multi-pantheon incantation got some greek, some roman and some norse]

Good thing Vadric and Anniston aren't around to hear your vile blasphemies! Calling out to the pagan gods for help.

 

[Dracomeander]

Finnian edges back a bit as Vadric mentions feeling his ward being eroded. He starts drumming his fingers to the nearly imperceptible pulse as he tries to determine some way of controlling or redirecting the null effect.
