The Psionicle, Part III

[Hand of Vecna]

OOC: I've been shot? GAH! Oh, I've got my xp somewhere on my comp back home, but since I'm at work now...

 

[Zhure]

While everyone else is busy with their preparations, Osius extracts his psicrystal once again and moves to the front, to keep an eye out for Thrikreen, while trying to remain concealed against the tunnel's curved wall.

OOC: Hide 0 +2 Dex Yup, grand total is 5,608 for everyone who's been here from the start. I'll skim through to the fight scene and see if I can find the XP for the village and post it in the OOC thread.

 

[Dalamar]

OoC: Gnome? My Detect Psionics? Hellou?

Seeing that Shardorn's light isn't providing enough light for the whole party, Desimus pulls a torch out of his satchel and lights it quickly. He picks up his crossbow and holds it in one hand.

"Ah, that’s better," he whispers.

OOC: Party: I don't think a 15ft radius of light will illuminate our whole marching order. Desimus's torch clearly illuminates a 20-foot radius and burns for 1 hour. Shardorn's light clearly illuminates a 15-foot radius. As it stands right now: (+ Shardorn's light, o Desimus's light, *overlap of light) |+S+| Syld |*J*| Jansson |*O*| Osius |*S*| Shardorn |*S*| Sahgrim |*D*| Desimus |*N*| Nathan |ooo| |ooo| |ooo| We don't have to light in front of Syld because of his darkvison, but now Nathan can clearly see 15 feet behind us.

"Does someone want to make a map as we go? I think it would be wise," Desimus asks the group.

 

[GnomeWorks]

OOC:

OOC: No, Hand of Vecna, you were not shot. That was a miscalculation. Sorry to scare you like that.

Syld, as you manifest Detect Psionics, a light buzzing enters the range of your hearing - as though it is not supposed to be heard on this plane of existence.

Normally, when you manifest this power, the strength of the auras and their direction comes gradually into you presence. For some odd reason, that is not true in this case.

An overwhelming aura is emanating from in front of you, and below you - several dozen feet below you, at least, and around 20 feet ahead of you. There is another overwhelming aura that is around 40 feet behind you, and slightly above you. Slightly fields encircle your friends and allies, save for Desimus and Shardorn. Where the fields interconnect with Desimus, there is a slight reddish tint to the fields within Desimus' reach.

 

[Hand of Vecna]

OOC: Whew!

"Well, Blue-boy, what do you sense???"

 

[Dalamar]

"Wow... That wasn't normal. I was able to immediately see the auras and I could see throuh stone the aura of, probably, the Gem. There is a great aura a couple of dozen feet below us and another behind and slightly above us."

OoC: Can I try to identify the discipline of the auras?

 

[Hand of Vecna]

"'Behind and slightly above us,' eh?"

Nathan quickly whips around to face behind them, crossbow at the ready, and scans the ceiling for any nasty surprises.

 

[Zhure]

"This can't be good. Let's deal with the artifact first."
