[QUOTE="pemerton, post: 6350473, member: 42582"] In character: [indent]Dame Naquel and Thurgon reach the room where Lucann is imprisoned. At a gesture from Thurgon the guard on duty leaves his post. Thugon invites Dame Naquel to open the door - as she does so, and hence turns away from him, he uses his True Sight to try and see if she has the crystal on her person. Assuming that Thurgon can also still see the ethereal presence of the Dark Fey with Quinn's eyes, and worried about the possibility that Quinn might be reading his very thoughts, Thurgon first blesses himself - "Oh Lord of Battle, lend me your strength of body and of mind" - and then shouts a command - "Spirit of darkness, begone! The Iron Tower is my home, not yours! Leave in peace those who dwell within it."[/indent] Moves: By my reading of the rules, the Bless spell can't be used to help give an order, as giving an order is not a combat action. But if you are more liberal in your rules interpretation, then Thurgon's spoken blessing will also be a Blessing of himself to help with this mental struggle. Unfortuately, even if the spell casting is permitted it fails: Cast a (Bless) spell: 2d6 + 1(WIS) -1 (True Seeing) = 6 +0 = 6 The attempt to drive Quinn/the Dark Fey out of the Iron Tower is the giving of an order ("I am the Law"): 2d6 +1(CHA) = 9 +1 = 10. As I read it, you (as GM) have to choose whether the dark presence flees or manifests and attacks, but either way I get +1 forward against the spirit. If the dark presence attacks the Thurgon calls out: [indent]Naquel, in Kord's name open that door! We need Lucann's help here![/indent] If the spirit flees then (i) if Thurgon can see the crystal on Dame Naquel he asks her to hand it over; otherwise (ii) he will ask Dame Naquel to leave him and Lucann to talk undisturbed. That's probably enough conditionality for one post. [/QUOTE]
