Tryll's Paragon Quest (Tryll)

[Anastasia]

A quick refresh on the linguistic specialties you desire here would help, my brain's still a bit fuzzy from that whole ordeal over the weekend and early week. Basically lay out exactly what you want out of this.

[Yuthirin]

I'm trying to ensure we haven't missed anything on the translation of the text for the ritual.

[Anastasia]

> roll 1d20+55 Tepen Decipher Script (assuming a wished in +15 booster, a reasonable spell that I just don't feel like looking up or making on the fly, since it is in his wheelhouse)
<Serith> Space_Cat roll for Serith < 61 > [d20=6]

Tepen studies it a time. When he is finally finishes he sits back, "I have good news for you. Any details missed are minor. The translation is good enough. Magically, this appears sound and is the real thing, as far as it goes into the root causes and magic. Unfortunately, it is not much."

[Yuthirin]

'Go on.'

[Anastasia]

"There's little to say that Vul'lath didn't," Tepen remarks, "Based on what your divinations have revealed, it suggests the ritual is stable and not seriously trapped."

[Yuthirin]

'Thank you, Tepen. I don't suppose you have a spell that can extract ectoplasm from an incorporeal form?'

[Anastasia]

"No, but a wish should suffice," Tepen says, "I'm certain that ghost touch magic would do so, if it's merely only incorporeal." He sits back with a smile, hands on the arms of his chair. "This is lazy mage-craft, such I would scold my students for, but I can hardly see the point of making such a specialized spell for one use. Not when so many other projects loom."

[Yuthirin]

'Perhaps, but such high-level mage-craft is ultimately what inspires more specialized abilities. Something that could be used to extract ectoplasm could be adapted to disrupt incorporeal undead. Say, a spell that causes a shadow's dual nature to split. Negative energy splitting from shadow-stuff.' Tryll points out.

[Anastasia]

"Possible but difficult, perhaps," Tepen murmurs, "Regardless, when do you need to do this?"

[Yuthirin]

'The shadow thing? Hopefully never. Have you ever seen a shadow? No thanks.'

[Anastasia]

"The ectoplasm," Tepen replies, slowly. "What you asked for."

[Yuthirin]

'Oh! Yes. Of course. Around the time of the ritual, I would assume. Ectoplasm doesn't last long, you see. Dissipates.'

[Anastasia]

"Let me know when," Tepen says, "I am willing to cast that."

Next move then?

[Yuthirin]

Now for the actually hard part, we need stuff that represents the very essences of Tryll & Calleigh.

Things we need:
1 part bottled pure water
2 parts bottled raw chaos
2 parts bottled good stuff from Arborea
1 parts bottled squid
1 parts bottled book of jokes

[Anastasia]

Okay, and how do you plan to get them?
