X4: Master of the Desert Nomads - OOC

Was the horn from the knight we just fought? If so, FF cast Detect Magic on all the gear.

 

[Leif]

No, the horn is from before when you were still playing Rajah. We've already done a Detect Magic on it. See post #618 of this thread: http://www.enworld.org/forum/playing-game/224316-x4-master-desert-nomads-ic-18.html#post4398177

But I also found this is an sblock in post 601 of the same thread linked above:

Bevin knows that a horn of blasting can be used more than once a day, but doing so is dangerous and can backfire.

Also, he thinks the command word must be spoken just prior to using the attack.

Note that we have been attacked with this horn before, so if the previous weilder spoke a command word where we could hear it, then we know what it is.

 

[Rhun]

Right, detect magic doesn't reveal command words. We know what the horn is, because it was used against us. We just aren't sure how to activate it.

 

[Leif]

Unless we could hear the command word that was spoken when we were attacked with the thing.

 

[Rhun]

I'm certain it is in the old thread, I just have to go find it.

 

[Leif]

Well, I've been trying! I found where we detected magic on it, and I found where we were attacked with it, but neither of those posts said anything about the command word, other than that one was said immediately before we were attacked.

 

[Rhun]

Well, either Kinem is wasting our time with his hints, or it is there and we are missing it. Like I said, I'll take a gander when I have some time.

 

[Leif]

Yes, you are right. But maybe kinem isn't intentionally wasting our time, only misremembering what we have been told. Because I found a few places where I fully expected the command word to be revealed, only it was not. And, like I said before, I did find where Detect Magic was used by Bevin upon all of the gear we got from that encounter, including Bev's Cloak and the Horn.

 

[Rhun]

Fair enough.

 

[Leif]

Even so, Rhun, I still hope you prove me wrong!
