Surraruthru's Tree (Surraruthru)

[Anastasia]

A sphere of force surrounds the mace, protecting it from the elements or being touched.

[Iron Dragoon]

"Hmm.. Sphere of force is protecting it... Let me look a little closer."

Can I tell if the mace has any powers or what the CL on the sphere is, so I can figure out if I can dispel it?

[Anastasia]

The sphere is preventing you from analyzing the mace.

There's an epic skill usage that does it, DC 40. Roll for it real quick.

[Anastasia]

Caster level 18th.

"It's a fairly powerful effect, but I can break it."

[Anastasia]

"It also has nothing to do with us," Pearwood remarks, "It may be sealed for a good reason."

[Iron Dragoon]

Surraruthru shrugs.

"You're the guide here, so I'll listen if you think we should avoid it. But our encounter with it may not be chance, either."

[Anastasia]

"You think it could be fate?" Kascha asks, "Fate's usually a bad thing for Aurora, you know."

"Well, if it is, we'll solve it with fire," Simmer says, "I say we do it."

[Iron Dragoon]

"I like new things, so I'm for it."

[Anastasia]

"It's your lives," Pearwood steps back - well back. Then back some more.

[Iron Dragoon]

Surraruthru begins casting, targeting the sphere of force with a Greater Magic Dispel!

I basically can't fail this.

> roll 1d20+20 Dispel Check
<Serith> Iddy roll for Serith < 28 > [d20=8]

[Anastasia]

Considering it's CL 18 and dispel checks are 11 + CL, you just did.

No good, the magic resists your dispel.

[Iron Dragoon]

Ah, shit, I forgot it's +11. FML. Okay, round two.

Surraruthru looks a bit embarrassed at his newbie mistake, but hey, everyone has their off days, and he begins casting again.

Superb Dispelling.

> roll 1d20+30 Superb Dispel Check
<Serith> Iddy roll for Serith < 46 > [d20=16]

[Anastasia]

"Second time's the charm?" Kascha says hopefully as you throw some serious mojo, calling on the proper names. The sphere ripples into the visible spectrum and crumbles away.
