"Your weapon skills would be of little use in this test, if I recall correctly." Jansson states. "Doesn't the Test of Merle require us to destroy the real spirit hidden among twelve false images, using no physical means? I would assume that rules out your mace."

Shardorn is silent for a moment, a look of thoughtfulness on her face.

"You are correct, Jansson." She says. "I forgot which test was which. I think that you are right, as well, in that my mace will do little in the non-physical test... the powers Rashida has granted me, however, may be helpful."
 

(If all else fails, I'm going hack-n-slash in about 14 days if this keeps up. We can't wait around here forever. Animus will fill in if necessary, despite his posible use-less-ness here.)

OOC: Sorry about the lack of update on my part.


The shadowy figure nods at Osius, then at Shardorn. "You two will take the test of Merle... very well." The two then disappear in a flash of reddish-black light.

"Now, who will take the test of Millicent?" The figure asks.

Test of Merle

Osius and Shardorn materialize in a small clearing surrounded by large oak trees, thirteen of them. After a moment of adjustment, thirteen ghostlike figures appear, one to each tree.

"How do you want to go about this?" Shardorn asks, looking at the ghosts and taking up a defensive stance.

Jansson steps forwards to speak with the figure.

"I will be one of the two to take this Test. But I have a question. While we may only use physical means to destroy the creatures, may I use my mental talents to enhance my abilities? I would still only be using my sword to fight."

Osius

"Well, I think we can't use physical means, so spells and powers it is. If they're illusions, they shouldn't be affected by this!"

At first opportunity, Osius will try to line as many up as possible, and manifest Stomp - defensively if necessary.

Speaking to his psicrystal, "Can you see which ones aren't real?"

Duh, I posted this in the old thread. I'm special.

The shadow figure shakes his head at Jansson. "The place where you till take this test will be devoid of all of the influences of the forces. No magic, psionics, or technology will work there."

"And who is the second?" He then asks, looking at the remaining members of the group.

Test of Merle

Shardorn nods in agreement. "That is a possibility... but if they're being controlled, their controllers might make them look as though they've reacted to whatever you do..."

I can't tell. Osius' psicrystal communicates telepathically. They all look alike to me...

The thirteen ghosts are closing in very slowly, but are doing it in complete unison - each is moving exactly like all the others. There are no discernable differences between them. Osius, you can probably get two or three of them in the range of the stomp at the moment, but you should be able to get more if you wait a few minutes.
 

Osius

Osius will back up, readying an action to Stomp. If they are following him and Shardorn, he will try to lead them into a close group.

"My other option is to try a mental attack on them, but I'm not terribly proficient and if one really is a ghost, I'm not sure what the effect will... wait! If the real one is a ghost, can't you turn it?"
 

Shardorn is thoughtful for a moment. "I could... but won't that lead to the same problems that using your powers has? They'll all act like they've been affected. It might work..."
