X4-5: across the mountains - IC

"Ah, I am sorry Aram, I was in another place" The abbot replies, "Perhaps we could summon a creature to go through and test the portal? he continues looking at Bevin, then back to Girgal hoping one of the other two magic wielders could help.

Bevin Rockhammer, Enchanter 8 cum Beguiler 9

OOC: Yes, Bevin THE ENCHANTER could have done this, but Bevin is no longer an Enchanter, he is a beguiler now. I have still to complete the details of this mystical transformation. Sorry!

 

[kinem]

ooc: Each PC received a little 'extra' upon levelling up. Leif, remember this?
"Bevin becomes a 9th level beguiler. In addition, all of the spells that he knew before are on his spell list." So Bevin's memory of spells is intact, but I don't know about yours!

 

[Leif]

OOC: Heh!! You should know very well about mine: it's the proverbial swiss cheese! Yes, I seem to vaguely recall this prior ruling now that I have been slapped in the face and beaten about the head and shoulders with it repeatedly!

IC: Bevin volunteers: "I have one such Summoning spell remaining in my daily arcane arsenal. Hmm, what sort of creature would be most useful for this endeavor, do you suppose? Ah! I have it!"

Bevin will cast Monster Summoning II, and call up 1d3 Celestial Monkeys. Hopefully more than one, so that if soemthing doesn't work, we can try again.

Fortune does not smile on Bevin this time, as but a single celestial monkey appears. Seeing no foes, he walks forward, looking at Bevin for direction.

"See, here is our monkey," says Bevin. " Now what would you have me do with him? I presume that you had some plan in mind beyond spanking him?"

 

[Rhun]

Aram scratches at the scruff on his face as he ponders. "If the portal is only one way, sending your friend there through it won't tell us a whole lot. Hell, it could slay him or transport him to the darkest of hells, and we'd be none the wiser."

"Well, we can't know whether it's one way until someone goes through it. Are you volunteering?? I didn't think so. Then sending the monkey through is still the best option that we have, it just may not tell us much." And instructing the monkey, Bevin says, "Go through this portal and then immediately return to me if you can. If you're not back immediately, then I'll presume that you are unable to get back here. Your service will be complete at that point, and you are thereafter released."

 

[Rhun]

Not to play the rules lawyer, but I believe your spell only lasts for 54 seconds. 1 round/level. I just don't want Kinem to take advantage of your "two minutes."

 

[Leif]

Very good point, Rhun. Previous post edited accordingly. Will the plan work now, you think?
