Day 238: Preparations
Sheldon and Indigo look over the old battle site to gauge a suitable hiding position for the expectant approach of the Da'Roneh war party. In addition to physically attempting to hide, Sheldon will also (bend light) to hide his appearance and Indigo will do what she can (including) mask her scent. Indigo, having no Theologic skill, cannot bend light.
OOC:

Indigo will be at S12, Sheldon at S13.

OOC:
|
Merin will be at V14, Tor will be at W14.
|

Both Merin and Tor will (actively manipulate mechanical Way to mask any sound they might make), in addition to making an attempt to hide. (Additionally, Tor and Merin will attempt to darken the area around them to augment the natural shadows.)

[sblock=Stealth]Effectiveness:
- Inversion (Collegiate Task) +
- Body + Motility +
- Commercial + Obscurative + d100
This active task is applied when attempting to obscure oneself from view or to dampen and, ultimately prevent sound while moving.
Sheldon: 35 + 46(inversion) + 51(d100) = 132
132 + 60(tunic) = 192
Indigo: 35 + 32(inversion) + 97(d100) = 164
164 + 10(height) + 30(vest) = 204
Merin: 29 + 47(inversion) + 97(d100) = 173
173 + 80(surcoat) = 253
Tor: 38 + 31(inversion) + 82(d100) = 151
151 - 10(height) - 10(build) + 70(surcoat) - 30(shield) = 171[/sblock]
Sheldon has not yet demonstrated his full potential with his skill in manipulating electromagnetic Way. His talent with bending light is yet beyond what Sannit or Saemund can do and they take note for they feel the weave and the direction of skill that they need to improve.
[sblock=Translucence]Effectiveness:
- Essence + Adhesion +
- Mind + Knowledge + Will +
- Collegiate + Theologic + Philosophy
This active tasks uses the bending of light to cause the physical image of the Philosopher to become obscured as light seems to be able to pass through it. There is no random aspect to this task. The total effectiveness is added to the Commercial task of Stealth.
Sheldon: 89
Stealth: 192 + 89 = 281[/sblock]
[sblock=Camouflage]Effectiveness:
- Essence + Cohesion +
- Mind + Knowledge + Will +
- Collegiate + Academic
This active tasks alters the chemical composition of the Academic's skin allowing it to mimic the reflection of its environment. There is no random aspect to this task. The total effectiveness is added to the Commercial task of Stealth.
Indigo: 71
Stealth: 204 + 71 = 275[/sblock]
GM: | Tor realizes, with a frown, that his ability to manipulate electromagnetic Way is very limited. He can darken the light around his head, but to affect is whole body would require multiple applications and expend too much energy. He is resolved to the idea that is not much suited for hiding, anyway. | |
[sblock=Darken]Range: Touch
Effectiveness:
- Essence + Adhesion +
- Mind + Knowledge + Will +
- Collegiate
This can dampen an area of illumination around the touched object, equal to a sphere with a radius of up to 1 stride. This cannot be used to generate an absence of light. It will only darken natural light by 1 category so that full sun can be made to appear shaded, shaded light to look like dust, dusk to full night. If used in an area that is already dark it will negate night vision. The duration of the darkness is equal to 1 minute per cumulative Will ability.
Tor: 31:
Stealth: 171 + 31 = 202
Merin: 47:
Stealth: 253 + 47 = 300[/sblock]
GM: | Merin, as he performs the same basic task, is suddenly inspired by a powerful epiphany. It is not so much that he needs to be able to hide as it is other creatures need to not notice him. His Aberrative skill has advanced enough that manipulates mystic Way to obscure his own existence rather than his own appearance. Once this technique can be applied to its full fruition, Merin realizes that he could stand directly in front of another person and say, "Boo," and that person would neither hear his words nor see his visage. | |
[sblock=Soullessness]Effectiveness:
- Essence + Adhesion +
- Mind + Knowledge + Will
- Collegiate + Aberrative + Manifest Will
This active tasks masks the existence of life, which may allow the Bender to be unnoticed by others even if standing directly in front of them. There is no random aspect to this task. The effective total is applied to the Commercial task of Stealth.
Merin: 47
Stealth: 300 + 47 = 347[/sblock]
