Ha'Kell thinks for several minutes, then responds to Z'leyra, "Those are some fine ideas. Which will we use? I especially agree with finding out what is detectable and by what means. We need to plan on being detected at some point, and have our plans ready for when it happens." "As to magic equipment, a suit of armor would appreciated." Kell then approaches and continues in private with Z'leyra. -----Original Message----- From: pnpgm-bounces@abroere.xs4all.nl [mailto:pnpgm-bounces@abroere.xs4all.nl] On Behalf Of Alex Koponen Sent: Saturday, May 02, 2009 7:52 PM To: pnpgm@abroere.xs4all.nl Subject: [pnpgm] plan?? Z'leyra has a conversation with Corona. Z'leyra suggests "We have several ways we could proceed. We COULD just leave all our detectable magic behind...but I have my doubts that that would work. I suspect that certain innate abilities might be considered magic enough to get killed over. The ability of Corona to cast fire from his eyes, the mana sensing of the sidh, perhaps other abilities I don't know about. I have wondered, but have not tried to check for whether any of us have what might be considered 'magical' boosts to our abilities. Would these be detectable? Would these be enough to get us killed? Is knowledge of magical skills detectable?" "We should experiment and find out just what and who is detectable and by what means. If the only way to detect mana sensing is via Soul Sight then those with mana sensing should be fairly safe. If having mana sensing sets off all alarms then we may have to figure other ways to proceed...perhaps with some of us fetched via teleport for battling the Vong but safe at some remote location till then." "I haven't even started on our magical gear. I for one want the magic when we fight the Vong. For the magic items I suggest that they not all be put in the same basket. Some could be left here. Some could be transported to whatever safe location could be found by Chion who could fetch them via teleport and I could create an item for Corona to carry that would Oblivion the rest and bring back the items when we need them. Since Corona would not be safe near detection devices anyway I think his being some distant harmless bird while we do get detected will be safer for us all." "I will need a day or two to make and enchant the item. We will need practice weapons of all types since we will have nearly two months to practice while at sea. Good non-magical armor and weapons should be worn or at least available for those our cover story allows to be armed." "Another possibility to consider is for me to stay here and make enchanted armor and weapons for folks while the ship is at sea. My place on ship taken by a reclusive illusion or not being present at all. If Chion teleported Corona and I in when the ship got to port we could have the item Oblivion the magic items and Corona fly with the item to a safe altitude, meeting us after we left the city. This would allow me to make at least one set, maybe two of enchanted armor. I know Raban wants decent armor. Anyone else need or want enchanted armor or weapons?" _______________________________________________ pnpgm mailing list pnpgm@abroere.xs4all.nl http://abroere.xs4all.nl/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pnpgm _______________________________________________ pnpgm mailing list pnpgm@abroere.xs4all.nl http://abroere.xs4all.nl/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pnpgm
