Latet anguis in herba (OOC)

[Supercape]

Its enough! well, perhaps not enough to get them to psychologically crumble, but they certainly ain't gonna fight!

[Aoiroo]

Paralyze, in the form of an illusion, will saves for them not to be caught, they can only make one move if they are caught, they cannot move at all if they fail the save by five or more. two cultists, two saves 14 and 26

[Supercape]

Its an area attack so auto hit.

However, they get a reflex save to halve the rank of the attack... vs DC 20...

1d20+0=7, 1d20+0=1

No surprise there.

So, will saves to resist the paralyse. As they are minions, any failure means maximum effect.

1d20+2=14, 1d20+2=21

Good lord, the non-speaker has made it!

However, on the grand scale of things, they are broken. They aren't going to fight back unless its life or death.

[Aoiroo]

Threatening for information now, 23.

[Aoiroo]

DC 25 will save for a cutlass in the chest.

[Supercape]

His fanatic will is inspiring!

1d20+2=21

As a minion, effect is for you to determine.

[Aoiroo]

Well being impaled with extreme predjudice is hardly something many people can will against.

Anyway, if Etain reads the book would she make out anything Quentin might miss with an arcane knowledge roll?

[Supercape]

Yes: the wardstones are definately related to the centuries old pact. It they are used - not broken - but used - the contract will be sealed.

[Aoiroo]

By sealed do you mean activated, or unable to be completed.

[Supercape]

Heh - yes, I mean activated.

By implication, destroying them will nullify the contract.

[Aoiroo]

Doesn't that mean they basically stopped them from stopping the contract? Given, they might of accidently activated the contracts in there quest.

[Supercape]

Doesn't that mean they basically stopped them from stopping the contract? Given, they might of accidently activated the contracts in there quest.

The principle here is that a few centuries ago, the Vatican made a pact with Una: for her help in destroying "witchcrafte".

The pact would allow Una to circumnavigate her vow not to directly attack earth (somehow).

The pact was sealed in several wardstones, and never actually completed. However, some breakaway cultists from the Vatican have no decided to rid the world of "witchcrafte" once and for all, and intend to use the wardstones to complete the pact.

Is that kind of semi-logical? :?

[Aoiroo]

I'm guessing it is an indirect attack if she is attacking certian residents of the earth. Anyway, Etain has already gone into the sewers.

[Supercape]

It is indeed an indirect attack!

[Supercape]

Ok, So Supercape is Powerstunting with Extra Effort: Environmental Control (Bright Light), Perception Range, Continuous.

This allows him Rank 28 in the Power - more than enough. Its 100,000 foot, so basically he can illuminate at his hearts content.

He is fatigued. Not going to burn off an HP yet.

[Aoiroo]

Etain has already proceeded down the sewers.

Also, Supercape has learned Flash!

[Supercape]

Flash! Aaaah Aaaah!

Edited post.

[Supercape]

Notice rolls at this point, hearing anything beyond the manhole. It is not easy DC 20.

1d20+10=18 Zip for SC.

[Aoiroo]

24, looks like Etain made it, I should probably edit my post based on what she hears.

[Supercape]

Mumbled voices in Latin!

[Aoiroo]

So, what happens now, disguise check? Notice check for the book or the totem(if that is what that statue is).

[Supercape]

Knowledge [Arcane] Check for the Totem DC 20 would be good.

As for disguise check: If Etains Concealment power is up, we are invisible. If not, then it would need some disguise checks from Etain and SC...

[Aoiroo]

Concealment is up. Take ten on arcane lore to get the twenty DC.

[Supercape]

In which case, the totem is carved in the fashion of some shape changing demon. As with many elder demons, knowing its "true name" would give power of it. Something about it references Una.

[Aoiroo]

Not sure what type of check a shove it, attack or something.
