:: You're right, t.b. won't work.  But message will do the same thing, and it's legal to cast through the scrying pool.  So it works.

<font color=red>: '''ANSWER:'''  Are you sure you can cast this through a scrying pool?  The Message spell notes:
 
::  Range: Medium (100 ft. + 10 ft./level)
 
::  And Scrying notes:  "the following spells have a 5% chance per caster level of operating through the sensor: detect chaos, detect evil, detect good, detect law, detect magic, and message."  Assuming Collune is 10th level that means a 50/50 chance.  Right?
 
:  ROLL: 50/50 chance on 1d100 (high being good for you) = 20.
 
::  Nope.  It's not a sure thing.  Keep reading though...  </font>

<font color=red>: Because I've experienced this being an issue in the past.  So I just want to caution against it.  If you want to write up a profile on how I should play her, go for it.  But once I read it and start the NPC, it's how I determine it.  That's all I'm saying.</font>

While it'd be a possible good thing for this Bluebook to happen, currently and unfortunately this cannot happen according to the spell:

<font color=red>This was an issue, though - had I not checked it...  We need to follow the rules as best we can to be fair to the game.  So before you suggest something just make sure it's workable.  </font>

Yeah, I have an idea, this isn't a bluebook, it's an email.  It just looks messy as crap.  New bluebook:

:# I think you're missing my point.  Just because I'm "the GM" doesn't mean I WANT to stop the good dialogue with a NPC, espeically when you're doing "extra" work at the game in non-game time with bluebooking.  That's not the point.  The point is that I want/need it to make sense and be "legal" with the rules.  Because whatever we do here/now sets a precident for future things YOU and others want to do.  I donot think it's a stupid idea.  Again missing the point.
 
:# Not according to the rules.  According to the rules to cast through the Scrying, it's a 50/50 chance at her level. 
 
:# Who is Azmodar?  When did that get talked about?  That's what's not clear.
 
:# No.  That's not the point at all.  I do a dozen bluebooks each week.  Why would I be down on the idea?

<font color=red>Okay.  The point is that I'm okay with the idea for a bluebook here.  I encourage it actually.  I am just trying to decipher the way to make it happen in-game with the rules.  <br> <br> So... <br> Let's assume that Collune CAN and DOES contact Kyuad  (following his "return" to the world when he remembers his name for the first time when talking to the PC group).  That's when she finally makes contact.  But let's not assume it's a given.  It's still 50/50 chance, anytime after the contact stops.  For now though,  let's GO with it.  I'll post up the starter points on the Bluebook for you to get into any discussion you want. <br> <br> Yeah - the point here is NOT to stifle you... Not at all.  You know that I'm not a "rules heavy GM", I know a good deal about the rules to make a good solid decision.  I know them well enough to guess at the right answer a great deal of the time.  But I cannot quote the rules.  So, looking up the rules for Telepathic Bond, Message and Scrying is NOT to try and thwart your attempts at fun role-play in bluebooks or otherwise.  But my intuition was right about being concerned with the "sure thing" use of those abilities.  In this case it comes down to a 50/50 chance.  <br>  I rolled a 20 on 2d10 for the %.  That would normally mean failure.  <br> <br> HOWEVER...  I'm OVERRULING that roll because I DO think this is worth it for a "GM Fiat" to say it just works as an NPC ability...  <br> <br> I hope that all makes sense and is cool.  <br>  <br>  and actually this is the sort of thing that I want covered in a bluebook as well...  It preserves it better.
