Game time

[Corwin]

"Works for me," Seira agrees. "Until then."

There's really no point in traveling the Inner Planes until then, so in a change of plans she takes her friends home with her.

[Anastasia]

Okay then, cool. Next move then?

[Corwin]

I'll wait until tomorrow and if Elle is available invite her and Kascha for the study session with Thurmar.

[Anastasia]

Fantastic, give me a quick d100.

[Corwin]

21:33 <Seira> roll 1d100
21:33 <Penuche> Seira invokes Penuche's magic: < 39 > [d100=39]

[Anastasia]

Thus the next day passes and soon enough? He's here, an entire massive bookshelf following him like a lost puppy.

[Corwin]

Seira has her avatar guide him over to a library established on palace grounds. Located in an out of the way corner of the gardens, it is filled with reference materials and, most importantly, provides a chance of pace from the more modern research chambers she had been using before. Given lackluster progress made there, Seira figured to try a change of pace.

"Welcome!" she greets, gesturing at her sides. "You've already met Kascha, and this is Elle."

[Anastasia]

Kascha smiles and starts to rise but stops and instead clears her throat. Hello, it's good to meet you again.

Elle does rise, a warm smile as she offers her hand out, the two shaking hands as much as they can.

"A remarkable opportunity," is the response, "Also, your world's design is beautiful. A volcano is a natural choice, don't you agree?"

[Corwin]

"Oh yes!" Seira eagerly agrees. "During my mortal days, I recall having an argument with fellow archmages. It revolved around how male wizards were drawn to magely towers while female ones apparently preferred caves, but why not both? And then, set it on fire?"

[Anastasia]

Kascha blushes and looks down, while Thurmar chuckles like rumbling stones. "Why not set it on fire," he agrees. "Now that bookshelf there is a good copy of the cipher. You'll need to read up on it and practice some, but that's hardly an insurmountable goal for you."

[Corwin]

"Thanks! I'm sure we'll find a good home for it here," Seira agrees, and the room grows in response to her will to allow for an empty spot for it in the cryptography section.

"For now, how about we focus on the Primus Prophecy?" she offers.

My setup! I'll have the Princess Int spell for +4 the entire day (+2 to int checks and int skill checks), and can provide it for everyone here on request. I can also swift-cast Extended Good Hope for 70 minutes per casting (+2 to int checks), so I think it's reasonable to have it available. Same for Greater Heroism (+4 to int skill checks). It got glossed over last time, but are Elle, Kascha and Thurmar allowed to aid another me? Or roll their own checks and have it contribute?

Motivate Intelligence would be +20 to int checks and int skill checks.

[Anastasia]

Aid another is possible - Elle and Kascha will, Thurmar will fulfill this own role to help. Any other questions before we get this going?

[Corwin]

I'm ready.

[Anastasia]

Okay, give me Profession (Researcher) and a raw Int check, same as last time.

[Corwin]

18:58 <Seira> roll 1d20+64+4+2+18+4 researcher
