Message: <blockquote data-quote="haiiro" data-source="post: 1828681" data-attributes="member: 1891">OOC: Walking around with the arm determines that whatever is drawing its attention is probably pretty far away -- walking a short distance doesn't change its orientation, and walking further only changes it a bit. Of course, it might not even be pointing at anything on this plane...I interpreted Knowledgebank BardThousand as "bardic knowledge + other applicable Knowledge skills), and queried Cupric's data banks on the following topics (all for Cupric only):- The pulse-bubbles, non-echoing scream, and portal activation -- bardic knowledge 30 ([18]+12): [spoiler]Some 4,000 years past, the collapse of a small but powerful elven mythal, Myth Iruror, near what is now Anauroch is said to have "turned the world inside out" in its immediate area. In some cases, this was a horribly literal description. Some sages hold that the rapid expulsion of magical energy could charge wands, return spells to one's mind, or fuel other magical effects -- as well as blowing things to bits, warping reality, etc.Removing some of the magical anchors that keep a mythal active can damage it, taint it, or destroy it altogether. Extending that lore to the shimmering man, who is apparently a portal network, it's likely that the spots on his arm represented portals that were somehow lost, or taken out of the network -- "wounding" him.[/spoiler] The great roll made that a tough one to answer!- The "teleportation" of Jaehn, Olo and Milo -- Knowledge (arcana) 9 ([2]+7): [spoiler]Cupric has never heard of anything like this.[/spoiler]- "Uroboran," "Occulants" -- bardic knowledge 18 ([6]+12): [spoiler]You think you've heard the term "Uros" in connection with mind flayers -- perhaps as a prefix? -- but just can't seem to dredge up more than that fragment.[/spoiler]Since we've already established that no one knows anything about the shimmering man that hasn't been learned during the campaign (via learn heritage, etc.), that one gets left alone. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> If I missed anything you had in mind, tdr, let me know.</blockquote>
