Fairy waltz

[Nephrite]

I don't have anything on the agenda since we're hopefully getting that last piece of the wheel soon. So please feel free to throw quests at me!

[22:47] <Nephrite> roll 1d100
[22:47] <Penuche> Nephrite invokes Penuche's magic: < 38 > [d100=38]

[Anastasia]

Reroll that d100? You hit an event already done that I forgot to remove from my table.

[Nephrite]

[20:31] <Nephrite> roll 1d100
[20:31] <Penuche> Nephrite invokes Penuche's magic: < 58 > [d100=58]

[Anastasia]

"Damnation and fire!"

Kaja's words startle you out of your work. You look up from the book you're studying, his voice carrying from outside through the open window into the room where you work.  It's a loud exclamation, nothing but fury and frustration.

[Nephrite]

Moore pokes his head out of the window to see if anything is obviously amiss.

"Goodness, what's gotten into you?" He calls out.

[Anastasia]

Kaja's fist is buried into the stone wall of the fortress. The fortress lost, a fist sized hole in it as he withdraws his hand. "Three of my new followers and my first church were just destroyed." He answers, snappishly.

[Nephrite]

Moore frowns, immediately appearing next to him with a hand on his shoulder.

"I've lost some too." He says, solemnly. "It's unavoidable. All we can do is help them decide what their fates are to be." He adds. "It's... limiting that we can't just appear and get out vengeance. ...Hm, but maybe we still can bring hope out of this - who was it? I mean... who did they serve?"

[Anastasia]

"Someone hiding themselves effectively," Kaja grinds out, "Cloaked, masked and warded in powerful magic!"

[Nephrite]

"Hm... so no idea on who the responsible deity is?" Moore asks. "Well... I think once we find that out, we should go pay a visit to one of their strongholds and cause a ruckus."

[Anastasia]

"No idea. This was meant not to be discovered," Is Kaja's answer, "This is a personal insult."

[Nephrite]

"Interesting. Well, the most obvious answer is Tiamat..." He says. "Do you want any help in investigating it? I could ask Melia to spend some time on the matter."

[Anastasia]

"As I can't go and personally solve it, yes, I would," Kaja's voice is strained. "Whoever did that knows I can't have an avatar yet to respond!"

[Nephrite]

"Hm..." Moore taps his chin. "I don't know about that, necessarily... but sending an avatar to face the followers of someone else is still serious." He says. "Regardless, I'll ask Melia to investigate and get back to us. We don't have a lot we're currently working towards until we can get that last piece of the Wheel... but, actually, I may have something we can do in the meantime. I still need to do some magic to find what we're looking for, but I owe Crystalle a favor, would you like to go if it's anywhere interesting?"

[Anastasia]

"Yes," Kaja says immediately, "If I can't take immediate revenge for this insult, I'd better do that than stew."

[Nephrite]

Moore nods. "Then give me a few minutes." He says.

There's no real harm in doing it right here, so...

Commune with Knowledge, I get 18 questions as usual.

'Can this spell locate a generic item, such as a Ring of Air Elemental Command?'

I know your feelings on Locate Object, so I figure I may as well ask the spell itself as well as you. : )

Spoiler: ShowHide

Commune with Knowledge
Divination
Level: Brd 11, Clr 13, Sor/Wiz 13
Components: V, S, F
Casting Time: 10 minutes
Range: Personal
Target: You
Duration: Concentration

This spell contacts the platonic ideal of knowledge itself to obtain answers. This spell functions as contact other plane, except that the chance of a true answer is 1-96, the chance of a random answer is 97-100 and the Intelligence DC to avoid Intelligence and Charisma loss is 18, it lasts 1 day and a natural roll of 1 always results in a failure, no matter the total*. Certain questions, such as those that seek the secrets of deities, anathemic knowledge or knowledge protected by epic abjurations cause this spell to return a result of unknown instead of an answer. Unlike with contact other plane, the answers may be as long as needed and not only one word.
