Eranon/Steve[edit]

Eranon will approach Kyuad after all have come to a rest before camping on the second day's journey

Eranon: "Kyuad, I sorry to press you, but I was hoping you had some more news about the curse that rests on my head. Have you managed to discover a cure?"

Bill / Kyuad[edit]

Kyuad: Looking up from one very large book and his familiar Lorebook, Kyuad says, "Eh? Oh, certainly. Let me give it another shot. Please sit." Kyuad says a short phrase, somewhat familiar because it's the same one as last time he tried.

OOC: He'll try three times today if he keeps getting dispelled. He'll want to examine Eranon once we know if the spell gets cast.


RULES FUN[edit]

Okay, fun. (possibly) Three Mirror Dispell rolls for me. As we know the rule is:

  • Dispel Check of 1d20 + It's caster level, versus a DC of 11 + The caster level of the caster or creator.


I want to consider something... I WILL NOT use this for this roll, but I want to ask the group (spellcasters) about it. Usually with many skill checks that are quite crucial you CAN attempt a re-try, however the DC is +1 to the last roll. This effectively shows that the task is more trying for each time you re-try, and OoG this rule is in place not to take advantage of time/rerolling...

What do you think about using that with Mirror re-rolls on the same spell within the same casting day? I know it makes it tougher, but it's a thought I've had and I wanted to check it with the group before saying it's so. If you can give me reason why not, I'll listen. But the rules are never clear/specific about re-rolls on this. It seems only fair to me, since I'd compare it to a crucial skill check. Thoughts?


Kyuad Twines his Magic to release him from the "Curse of Rotting" that tortures Eranon....[edit]

ROLL #1: Cambrial's Mirror vs. DC 20 (11 base + level 9 caster): ROLLED: 16+5 = 21 Cambrial/Barbie scores another bitch of a drain. That's +1 extra spell energy.


ROLL #2: Cambrial's Mirror vs. DC 20 (11 base + level 9 caster): ROLLED: 11+5 = 16 BANG! it succeeds... We'll discribe how this "works" (if it does) this next game session. Please remind me about it. Bill - Kyuad can feel the spell come to fruition after 4-5 previous tries, he knows it's been cast... Will it work - likely? Will it work perfectly? Let's wait and see.


PS... Here's the older Bluebook that we originally discussed the cure if you'd like to remind yourself, way back in Chapter 9-10: Midnight RPG - Chapter 9.01
