Post from Kiet on actions... From: David Sanders Date: Tue, 4 Jul 2017 20:39:24 -0700 To: pnpgm Cc: pnpgm@list.powersandperils.org Subject: Re: [pnpgm] Game Update #138 - File #941 - Plans 1-3 X-BeenThere: pnpgm@list.powersandperils.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.15 Kiet notices, as before, that some offers of help are missing. "Fremea! Mae! How about you two also participate! Out with it. What do you know that can help the group out? And about how strong? All of us others so far have offered to endanger ourselves for the benefit of all the others. Except you two. Now, damn the secrets! Speak up!" He stops for a moment then turns. Looking at Mae he raises an eyebrow and says "Your secrets already seem to be damned." There is no hint of a smile on his face.

Note: Z'leyra is EL0 in dispel/banish Law, NOT EL10. So low, not expert. GM: Ack. A simple plan I'll do a more detailed one below for approval if I were leader. Since this generic one doesn't help handle the rolls. From Arawn: [Re: Actions] "Do not forget the power of the True Tongues, Supernatural... -------- OOC: Before I post Arawn's Dispel abilities and relative strength, how are strength levels (Low, Decent, Journeyman, Expert, and such) being determined? GM: Ack. Yeah no need to post ELs per se if don't want to do a relative 0-20 system can be figured out regardless. From Arawn: [Re: Abysmal] "Miscast magic?," Arawn queried, addressing Z'leyra. ... [ OOC: Scott, I can't recall if Arawn has access to his crystal chalice right now but if he doesn't he'll ask the party members if they have one available or else attempt to craft one using the Cyrx. - He slipped his pack loose, digging around before procuring a crystal chalice (or create one with the Cryx if he or another party member doesn't have one)'.] Setting it down next to his waterskin he then reached for the torc around his neck, one end holding a glittering topaz. The golden stone swished through water held in the chalice, glowing oddly in the tunnel light. Within seconds he presented the chalice to Z'leyra. "Give this a try." GM: Ack. As explained in 3 old updates the abysmal has nothing to do with spell chances or anything other than smelling bad stuff. Its like sneezing during a spell casting it has nothing to do with anything. As to chalice no didn't bring the gear as posted awhile back for it. As to using the Cryx might be bad using magic to craft a item to dispel magic. A sub of a sub item? Its like using glue when needing a duct tape. :) Just might be a bad result. If had taken chalice it'd probably be destroyed by the quake and teleport and if not by the shifters when gear removed form bodies. So no chalice. :< From Arawn: [Re: Actions] "I have knowledge of various rites of banishment and... OOC: Arawn's Dispel Levels based on Scott's chart Balance - Green Chaos - Green Elder - Medium Kotothi - Low Law - Green Neutral Green Shamanic - Green Sidh - Medium When his chances of using Supernatural Languages to boost a dispel spell are 40%+ then Arawn will attempt to use them when Dispelling. Arawn will also keep an eye out for runes and such, deciphering for the party when needed. GM: Ack. So when 40%? Kind of hard to figure out as a player. So will assume use SLs all the time. I know one can argue if you read the strength and could wage the odds yes. Then maybe. But to know difference between 30 and 40 and 50 % is hard to figure out. That's the beauty of role playing not dice rolling. :) From Kiet: [Re: Actions] The relative strengths should be role played. Maybe your character is just too humble to 'brag' that his power/experience level so he says 'low'...or maybe just the opposite. It only adds to the game. GM: Ack. I 100% agree. For game purposes it should be more OOC. But for my sanity to save from doing 40 or more updates to resolve all this I rather do it in 1-2 updates. So want to know what folks have (I already know but its good to know openly) and what they will do for what. So for the GM rolls then this is why. My plan was to give folks not just one person the chance to do magic and gain experience. So much times its just 1-2 people and rarely get chance to improve such magics as banishment. So its just a chance for experience. From Z'leyra: [Re: Actions] "Ah good!" Z'leyra says. "Assuming that green means to... GM: Ack. Good point on the SLs if gods are not directly linked here then it might be waste of time. ------------------------------------------------------------ [New Stuff] [Febris 9th, 1635TH] [Time: 5:01 pm] [Z'leyra mentions her abysmal.] "Miscast magic?," Arawn queried, addressing Z'leyra. "A magical backfire then. Before we attempt to remove it through our own efforts let's see if we have the tools to address this." But then the day's events come to him and he realizes he does not have the chalice. Z'layha snickers, "the great Z'leyra failed a spell? Really sister?" She grins. [Once the future wards are known.] "Okay", Z'leyra says, "Those who can sense magic will please tell us where the wards are when we get close. We have three of use that have studied how to dispel or banish. If anyone else has, please speak up. For now we have whichever caster is doing the dispel take my luck ring to help in the casting and cast thru my staff. Z'layha, could you do the balance and shamanic wards? Kiet, could you do the law wards? I will attempt to do the rest. You may draw upon the battery in the staff if you need the mana. I will draw upon my other batteries." "Everyone ready to proceed?" Z'leyra asks, "Then Onwards!" "Do not forget the power of the True Tongues, Supernatural Languages," Arawn advised. "Such knowledge holds great power in dispellng the forces associated with them." "I have knowledge of various rites of banishment and dispeling of magics," Arawn informed the party. "They're not a specialty but I can cover a wide range if need be." "Beyond that and abilities to sense and read magical auras I may have other spell that can prove useful if needed, the Eternal Eye or Negate Magic spells, for example. And if things prove extra challenging we may be able to improve one's chances through Purification and Luck spells." "Ah good!" Z'leyra says. "Assuming that green means to you as a nature type that you are good at it. If so, Arawn can handle the Neutral, Balance, Sidh, Kotothi and Law wards. Sorry Kiet, but we need the most skilled if possible....Uh, Arawn if green means that you just barely know the basics then let us have you only do the Sidh and Neutral wards. Kiet do the law wards, Z'layha does the Shamanic and Balance, and I do the Chaos, Elder and Kotothi." "In any case I have this ring enchanted to give luck to the wearer. This should be worn by the caster. They should also cast through my staff as it will provide a substantial improvement in the odds of the spell succeeding, well worth the extra mana cost. I also have a battery or two that can provide mana, perhaps for every second casting till we run low, then for every casting...till the batteries run out." "Using Supernatural language will help IF you are skilled at it. Not so much if you aren't. I doubt that it is worth doing purification spells as we are somewhat cut off from help and the mana used may be needed for the wards...there are a LOT of wards we will need to defeat." "Onwards!" Unali digs in her bags before the party moves on. Unali will dig in her Bag and produce a simple bronze wand and say "This should be able to deal with medium to high level Law wards twice a day I understand. Hopefully it will aid one of you in casting." Actions? Comments?? Next Update....Saturday... GM: A simple update for now. I will post Z's plan and alternatives since it'd be a bit more detailed for plan making for approval. Let me know personally for those who are casting the spells if you approve and for which plan and if using any aids and as mentioned before any recastings. So three casters Arawn, Z'leyra and Kiet (Z'layha is npc so will agree with plan 3) let me know which plan you agree or not agree and we'll go from there. As soon as I hear from all 3 I will do the rolls based on the data/aides to use I have. Will not make rolls until all 3 confirm/deny. There may be others who have spell abilities but are not speaking up so this is what we go from here. Plan 2 and 3 are not meant to sway things but just alternatives. Plan 2 is very similar to the one posted. Plan 3 though gives a bit more round robin for terms of experience. If you don't want to do all X listed then let me know. I'm just figuring it out for rolls and experience. Else if plan 3 is not done then using plan 1 will take all rolls for that said person. Making more experience for that one person. Happy 4th of July for those in USA!
