[Yuthirin]

Starting with divinations, looking for the location of the rubies in case they've already been sold (expecting this).

[Anastasia]

Phrasing matters, so give me the first question you pose to divination.

[Yuthirin]

What are the locations of the two remaining heart rubies that have been stolen?

[Anastasia]

As you might expect, the spell fails. It's been warded against, you can tell.

[Yuthirin]

'No such luck with divination. Let's try the new thing.' Tryll tells the group.

"OH BOY THE NEW THING!" Calleigh is cheerleading.

Examine Astral Reverberations
Clairsentience
Level: Psion/wilder 9
Display: Mental and visual
Manifesting Time: 1 minute
Range: Personal
Target: You
Duration: Instantaneous
Power Points: 17

This power taps information stored in the astral, such as a creature's movements or location, if that creature or object fails a Will save. This power shows the movements of said creature and all of their actions taken within the last week, as well as who and what they interacted with.

This power does not work on any plane that is not connected in some way to the astral plane. This power only functions on creatures and objects with an astral presence; a mind. Inert, non-magical objects such as walls or non-thinking creatures such as non-intelligent oozes and mindless undead are invisible to this power.

Augment

If an additional 5 power points are spent, the power also attempts to postulate a likely future outcome. This provides a benefit similar to that of a divination, but less cryptic. Any information conveyed would concern one single action or possible action regarding that creature, and the question must be phrased to outline the direction for the power to take. Information conveyed can be contained in no more than one single sentence.

If an additional 10 power points are spent, the manifestor may make an opposed caster level check to reveal information about a target that has or had an active mind blank spell.

For every 2 power points spent in either of the above augmentations, the power's DC increases by 1.

[Anastasia]

Cool, what are you aiming it at?

[Yuthirin]

The gems themselves and anyone holding or possessing them.

[Anastasia]

Okay, since you fully augmented it, make your caster level check against mind blank.

Urgh, no good. Both are protected fiercely enough to resist even this powerful ability.

[Yuthirin]

We are doing this again.

This time you get an image for one. An image of a ruby sitting on a purple pillow, in a simple if dark room that lets the radiance of the gem illuminate the area around it. It has been there they entire week, though on occasion a scaly claw gently caresses it, one dark and made of seeming shadow stuff.

K:A.

[Anastasia]

It looks like the claw of a shadow dragon, on a glance.

[Yuthirin]

'Oh good. A shadow dragon.'
