The Psionicle, Part VIII

[Jarval]

"Can't help with the identification, it's a bit outside the range of my skills. Any idea as to what those things we found on the illithidkin are?" Jansson says as he takes a seat opposite Tori'shel. "Plus I still have Niko's pistol. Should I keep it, or would it better serve another?"

He addresses the technologist. "You seek to protect your power, as do I. Could we not work together? My group and I have no ill will towards technology, but others who seek the Psionicle would try to wipe out both the powers of technology and magic. Desimus is happy to aid us in our quest, and I see no need for us to be enemies."

Tori'shel is silent for a moment. "I don't know, Jansson. I agree with you - if the illithid get their hands on the Psionicle, then all is lost in the long run... but then, I agree with Jirlai - if we destroy the Psionicle, then the illithid would not be a threat to anyone."

"I... will assist you. If for no other reason, than that one day I may need your help to save technology."

Shardorn then stands up. "I do not trust you, Tori'shel." She says. "However, if my companions will trust you, then I will accept you... however, my trust is something you must earn."

Tori'shel nods to the goblin. "I understand."

Syld breaths out a sigh of relief as Shardorn decides to accept keeping Tori'Shel with them.
Keep your friends close, and your enemies even closer. he thinks to himself, So true, yet it is not complete. What to do with those that fall to neither category?

OoC: Doesn't it take 8 hours to use identify? Even from a dorje?

[BOoC: Doesn't it take 8 hours to use identify? Even from a dorje? [/B]

OOC:

OOC: I was wondering about that, as well... it is somewhat odd. You are right - it does take 8 hours normally. Using identify from a dorje... it's a difficult call to make. However, you're right - and we should stick with the 8 hours thing. I don't see any real reason as to why it takes 8 hours in the first place, but if we're going to go with it taking that long when using the power normally, it should take that long when using it from a dorje, as well.

I have nothing against it taking less time even when using the power

Jansson smiles at Tori'shel's words, and Shardorn's acceptance of the technologist.

"This is good my friends, this is good. As for the illithid, if we complete the Psionicle, then we should be able to wipe them from this world forever."

Obviously cheered, Jansson heads over to the barkeep and orders himself a good meal.

Of course you wouldn't...

OOC:
Honestly, Identify taking 8 hours makes sense for a slow moving game, or one where most of the time is spent in safe locales, but in a fast moving game... I don't see why it wouldn't be shortened. This game gets fast-moving some-times, and instantaneous identify would be nice... though everyone would have it. The question becomes, in GW's world, does it seem like something people would just cast... or do they need to sit there and analyze every item? I'm guessing, since there are three types of tech, it is an analysis thing...

OOC:

I agree with CS, several people house rule'd identify to take less time, it really comes down to your style of play.

 

[GnomeWorks]

OOC:

OOC: Alright... CS, you have a point there. This isn't a slow game, and there isn't a whole lot of downtime to identify items. It would make sense if identify took only a few minutes, rather than eight hours. Post concerning the emerald that Osius identified will be editted shortly... now, let's stop using the IC thread for an OoC discussion!
